_Wild._ To do this in the beginning of an amour, and to a jealous servant as I am! had I all the wealth of Peru, I would not let go one maravedis to you. _Jac._ To this I answer---- _Wild._ Answer nothing, for it will but inflame the quarrel betwixt us: I must come to myself by little and little; and when I am ready for satisfaction, I will take it: But at present it is not for my honour to be friends. _Beat._ Pray let us neighbour princes interpose a little. _Wild._ When I have conquered, you may interpose; but at present the mediation of all Christendom would be fruitless. _Jac._ Though Christendom can do nothing with you, yet I hope an African may prevail. Let me beg you, for the sake of the lady Fatima. _Wild._ I begin to suspect, that lady Fatima is no better than she should be. If she be turned Christian again, I am undone. _Jac._ By Alla, I am afraid on't too: By Mahomet, I am. _Wild._ Well, well, madam, any man may be overtaken with an oath; but I never meant to perform it with her: You know, no oaths are to be kept with infidels. But---- _Jac._ No; the love you made was certainly a design of charity you had to reconcile the two religions. There's scarce such another man in Europe, to be sent apostle to convert the Moor ladies. _Wild._ Faith, I would rather widen their breaches, than make them up. _Jac._ I see there's no hope of a reconcilement with you; and therefore I give it over as desperate. _Wild._ You have gained your point, you have my money; and I was only angry, because I did not know 'twas you, who had it. _Jac._ This will not serve your turn, sir: what I have got, I have conquered from you. _Wild._ Indeed you use me like one that's conquered; for you have plundered me of all I had. _Jac._ I only disarmed you, for fear you should rebel again; for if you had the sinews of war, I am sure you would be flying out. _Wild._ Dare but to stay without a new servant, till I am flush again; and I will love you, and treat you, and present you at that unreasonable rate, that I will make you an example to all unbelieving mistresses. _Jac._ Well, I will try you once more; but you must make haste then, that we may be within our time; methinks our love is drawn out so subtle already, that 'tis near breaking. _Wild._ I will have more care of it on my part, than the kindred of an old pope have to preserve him. _Jac._ Adieu; for this time I wipe off your score, till you are caught tripping in some new amour. [_Exeunt Women._ _Mask._ You have used me very kindly, sir; I thank you. _Wild._ You deserved it for not having a lie ready for my occasions. A good servant should be no more without it, than a soldier without his arms. But, pr'ythee, advise me what's to be done to get Jacintha.
