s of his years, I did look very like him; and did you see my Picture as I was then, you would swear that gallant _Eustace_ (I mean, now he dares fight) was the true substance, and the perfect figure. Nay, nay, no anger, you shall have enough, _Charles_. _Char_. Sure, Sir, I shall not need addition from him. _Eust_. Nor I from any, this shall decide my interest; though I am lost to all deserving men, to all that men call good, for suffering tamely insufferable wrongs, and justly slighted by yielding to a minute of delay in my revenge, and from that made a stranger unto my Father's house and favour, o'erwhelm'd with all disgraces; yet I will mount upward, and force my self a fortune, though my birth and breeding do deny it. _Char_. Seek not, _Eustace_, by violence, what will be offer'd to you on easier composition; though I was not alli'd unto your weakness, you shall find me a Brother to your bravery of spirit, and one that, not compell'd to't by your sword, (which I must never fear) will share with you in all but _Angellina_. _Mir_. Nobly said, _Charles_, and learn from my experience, you may hear reason, and never maim your fighting; for your credit, which you think you have lost, spare _Charles_, and swinge me, and soundly; three or four walking velvet Cloaks, that wear no swords to guard 'em, yet deserve it, thou art made up again. _Eust_.

It shall be Hearts-ease, _Eustace_, ere I have done; as for thy Father's anger, now thou dar'st fight, ne'er fear it, for I've the dowcets of his gravity fast in a string, I will so pinch and wring him, that, spight of his authority, thou shalt make thine own conditions with him. _Eust_. I'le take leave a little to consider. _Char_. Here comes _Andrew_. _Mir_. But without his comical and learned face; what sad disaster, _Andrew_? _And_. You m[a]y read, Sir, a Tragedy in my face. _Mir_. Art thou in earnest? _And_. Yes, by my life, Sir; and if now you help not, and speedily, by force, or by persuasion, my good old Master (for now I pity him) is ruin'd for ever. _Char_. Ha, my Father! _And_. He, Sir. _Mir_. By what means? speak. _And_. At the suit of Monsieur _Lewis_; his house is seiz'd upon, and he in person is under guard, (I saw it with these eyes, Sir) to be convey'd to _Paris_, and there Sentenc'd. _Mir_. Nay, then there is no jesting. _Char_. Do I live, and know my Father injur'd? _And_. And what's worse,
