Alonzo:
How it angers
me,
This fellow at
first fight should win a Lady,
A rich young wench,
and I that have consum’d
My time and art
in searching out their subtleties,
Like a fool’d
Alchymist blow up my hopes still?
When shall we
come to thy house and be freely merry?
Michael Perez:
When I have manag’d
her a little more,
I have an house
to entertain an army.
Alonzo:
If thy wife be
fair, thou wilt have few less
Come to thee.
Michael Perez:
But where they’l
get entertainment is the point Signior.
I beat no Drum.
Alonzo:
You need none
but her taber,
May be I’le
march after a month or two,
To get me a fresh
stomach. I find Coronel
A wantonness in
wealth, methinks I agree not with,
’Tis such
a trouble to be married too,
And have a thousand
things of great importance,
Jewels and plates,
and fooleries molest me,
To have a mans
brains whimsied with his wealth:
Before I walk’d
contentedly.
[Enter Servant.]
Servant:
My Mistris Sir
is sick, because you are absent,
She mourns and
will not eat.
Michael Perez:
Alas my Jewel,
Come I’le
goe with thee, Gentlemen your fair leaves,
You see I am ti’d
a little to my yoke,
Pray pardon me,
would ye had both such loving wives.
Juan de Castro:
I thank ye
[Exit
Perez, Servant.
For your old boots,
never be blank Alonzo,
Because this fellow
has outstript thy fortune,
Tell me ten daies
hence what he is, and how
The gracious state
of matrimony stands with him,
Come, let’s
to dinner, when Margarita comes
185] We’l visit both, it may be then your fortune.
[Exeunt.
[Enter Margarita, Altea, and Ladies.]
Margarita:
Is he come?
Altea:
Yes Madam, h’as
been here this half hour,
I have question’d
him of all that you can ask him,
And find him as
fit as you had made the man,
He will make the
goodliest shadow for iniquity.
Margarita:
Have ye searcht him Ladies?
Omnes:
Is a man at all points, a likely man.
Margarita:
Call him in Altea.
[Exit
Lady.
[Enter Leon, Altea.]
A man of a good
presence, pray ye come this way,
Of a lusty body,
is his mind so tame?
Altea:
