, sudden and unexpected. _Car._ Pray, how long have you been landed? _Alon._ So, now shall I be plagu'd with nothing but wise Questions, to which I am able to make no Answer. [Aside.] Sir, it is your Daughter that I desire to see impatiently. _Car._ Have you no Letters from my very good Friend your Father? _Alon._ What if I have not? cannot I be admitted to your Daughter without a Pass? _Car._ O lack, Sir-- _Alon._ But to let you see I come with full Power (tho I am old enough to recommend my self) here is my Commission for what I do.

This Don's fuller of Questions than of Proverbs, and that's a Wonder. [Aside. _Car._ They say _Flanders_ is a very fine Country, I never saw it; but-- _Alon._ Nor 'tis no matter, Sir, if you never do, so I saw your Daughter.
