Enter Charles_ in Spanish Habit, with Sir George drest like a Merchant._

Sir Jeal. Senior, beso Las Manos vuestra merced es muy bien venido en esta tierra.

Char. Senhor, soy muy humilde, y muy obligado Cryado de vuestra merced:  Mi Padre Embia a vuestra merced, los mas profondos de sus respetos; y a Commissionado este Mercadel Ingles, de concluyr un negocio, que me Haze el mas dichoso hombre del mundo, Haziendo me su yerno.

Sir Jeal. I am glad on’t, for I find I have lost much of my Spanish.  Sir, I am your most humble Servant. Seignor Don Diego Babinetto has inform’d me that you are Commission’d by Seignor Don Pedro, &c. his worthy Father.

Sir Geo. To see an Affair of Marriage Consummated between a Daughter
of yours, and Seignor Diego Babinetto his Son here.  True, Sir, such a
Trust is repos’d in me as that Letter will inform you.  I hope ’twill
pass upon him.
    (Aside.)
    (Gives him a Letter.

Sir Jeal. Ay, ’tis his Hand.
    (Seems to read.

Sir Geo. Good ——­ you have counterfeited to a Nicety, Charles.
    (Aside to Charles_._

Char. If the whole Plot succeeds as well, I’m happy.

Sir Jeal. Sir I find by this, that you are a Man of Honour and
Probity; I think, Sir, he calls you Meanwell.

Sir Geo. Meanwell is my Name, Sir.

Sir Jeal. A very good Name, and very Significant.

Char. Yes, Faith if he knew all.
    (Aside.

Sir Jeal. For to Mean-well is to be honest, and to be honest is the
Virtue of a Friend, and a Friend is the Delight and Support of Human
Society.

Sir Geo. You shall find that I’ll Discharge the part of a Friend in what I have undertaken, Sir Jealous.

Char. But little does he think to whom.
    (Aside.

Sir Geo. Therefore, Sir, I must intreat the Presence of your fair Daughter, and the Assistance of your Chaplain; for Seignor Don Pedro strictly enjoyn’d me to see the Marriage Rites perform’d as soon as we should arrive, to avoid the Accidental Overtures of Venus.

Sir Jeal. Overtures of Venus!

Sir Geo. Ay, Sir, that is, those little Hawking Females that traverse the Park, and the Play-house to put off their damag’d Ware—­they fasten upon Foreigners like Leeches, and watch their Arrival as carefully, as the Kentish Men do a Ship-wreck.  I warrant you they have heard of him already.

Sir Jeal. Nay, I know this Town swarms with them.

Sir Geo. Ay, and then you know the Spaniards are naturally Amorous, but very Constant, the first Face fixes ’em, and it may be dangerous to let him ramble e’er he is tied.
