clouds.
Gonzalo:
'S-foot, what thing is this?
Mochingo:
I do love fire-works, because they mount:
An Exhalation I profess to adore,
Beyond a fixed star, 'tis more illustrious,
As every thing rais'd out of smoak is so:
Their vertue is in action: what do you think of me?
Gonzalo:
Troth Sir,
261] You are beyond my ghess, I know you not.
Mochingo:
Do you know your self?
Gonzalo:
Yes Sir.
Mochingo:
Why you and I are one: I am proud, and
Very proud too, that I must tell you; I saw
It did become you, cousin _Gonzalo_, prethee
Let it be so.
Gonzalo:
Let it be so good cousin.
Mochingo:
I am no great ones fool.
Gonzalo:
I hope so, for alliance sake.
Mochingo:
Yet I do serve the Mighty, Monstrous, and Magnanimous
Invincible _Erota_.
Gonzalo:
O good cousin, now I have you: I'le meet you in your Coat.
Mochingo:
Coat? I have my horse-mans coat I must confess
Lin'd through with Velvet, and a Scarlet out-side;
If you'll meet me in't, I'le send for't;
And cousin you shall see me with much comfort,
For it is both a new one, and a right one,
It did not come collateral.
Gonzalo:
Adieu good cousin; at this present I have some business.
Mochingo:
Farewel, excellent cousin.

Scena Prima
[Enter _Gonzalo_, and _Fernando_.]
Gonzalo:
_Candy_, I say, is lost already.
Fernando:
Yes,
If to be conqueror be to be lost.
Gonzalo:
You have it; one days conquest hath undone them.
And sold them to their vassalage; for what
Have I else toyl'd my brains, profusely emptied
My moneys, but to make them slaves to _Venice_,
That so in case the sword did lose his edge,
Then art might sharpen hers?
Fernando:
_Gonzalo_ how?
Gonzalo:
_Fernando_ thus: you see how through this Land,
Both of the best and basest I am honour'd;
I only gave the State of _Venice_ notice,
When, where, and how to land, or you had found
262] A better entertainment: I was he
Encourag'd young _Antinous_ to affront
The Devil his Father: for the Devil I think
Dares not do more in battel.
Fernando:
But why did ye?
I find no such great policie in that.
Gonzalo:
