ew Saints my Zeal grew something cold, which I was ever fain to supply with a Bottle, the old Remedy when _Phyllis_ is sullen and absent. _Will._ Now thou talk'st of Phillis prithee, dear _Harry_, what Women hast in store? _Beau._ I'll tell thee; but first inform me whom these two Sparks are. _Will._ Egad, and so they are, Child: Salute 'em-- They are my Friends-- True Blades, _Hal._ highly guilty of the royal Crime, poor and brave, loyal Fugitives. _Beau._ I love and honour 'em, Sir, as such [Bowing to _Blunt_. _Blunt._ Sir, there's neither Love nor Honour lost. _Feth._ Sir, I scorn to be behind-hand in Civilities. _Beau._ At first sight I find I am much yours, Sir.
