_Whiff._ Ay, ‘twou’d be a fine World if Men should wear Swords to right themselves; he that’s bound to the Peace shall wear no Sword. _Whim._ I say, he that’s bound to the Peace ought to wear no Peruke, they may change ‘em for black or white, and then who can know them. _Haz._ I hope, Gentlemen, I may be allowed to speak for my self. _Whiff._ Ay, what can you say for your self, did you not draw your Sword, Sirrah? _Haz._ I did. _Tim._ ‘Tis sufficient, he confesses the Fact, and we’ll hear no more. _Haz._ You will not hear the Provocation given. _Dull._ ‘Tis enough, Sir, you drew-- _Whim._ Ay, ay, ‘tis enough, he drew--let him be fin’d. _Friend._ The Gentleman should be heard, he’s Kinsman too to Colonel _John Surelove_. _Tim._ Hum--Colonel _Surelove’s_ Kinsman. _Whiff._ Is he so? nay, then all the reason in the World he should be heard, Brothers. _Whim._ Come, come, Cornet, you shall be Friends with the Gentleman; this was some drunken bout, I’ll warrant you. _Tim._ Ha, ha, ha, so it was, Gads zoors. _Whiff._ Come, drink to the Gentleman, and put it up. _Tim._ Sir, my service to you, I am heartily sorry for what’s pass’d, but it was in my drink. [Drinks. _Whim._ You hear his Acknowledgments, Sir, and when he’s sober he never quarrels. Come, Sir, sit down, my Service to you. _Haz._ I beg your excuse, Gentlemen--I have earnest business. _Dull._ Let us adjourn the Court, and prepare to meet the Regiments on the _Sevana_. [All go but _Friend._ and _Hazard_. _Haz._ Is this the best Court of Judicature your Country affords? _Friend._ To give it its due, it is not. But how does thy Amour thrive? _Haz._ As well as I can wish in so short a time. _Friend._ I see she regards thee with kind Eyes, Sighs and Blushes. _Haz._ Yes, and tells me I am so like a Brother she had --to excuse her kind concern,--then blushes so prettily, that, Gad, I cou’d not forbear making a discovery of my Heart. _Friend._ Have a care of that, come upon her by slow degrees, for I know she is virtuous;--but come, let’s to the _Sevana_, where I’ll present you to the two Colonels, _Wellman_ and _Downright_, the Men that manage all till the arrival of the Governour. [Exeunt. SCENE II. The _Sevana_ or Heath. Enter _Wellman_, _Downright_, _Boozer_, and Officers. _Well._ Have you dispatch’d the Scouts, to watch the Motions of the Enemies? I know that _Bacon_ is violent and haughty, and will resent our vain Attempts upon him; therefore we must be speedy in prevention. _Down._ What Forces have you raised since our last order? _Booz._ Here’s a List of ‘em, they came but slowly in, till we promised every one a Bottle of Brandy. Enter _Officer_ and _Dunce_. _Offi._ We have brought Mr. _Dunce_ here, as your Honour commanded us; after strict search we found him this Morning in bed with Madam _Flirt_. _Down._ No matter, he’ll exclaim no less against the Vices of the Flesh the next Sunday.
