he governor will execute me.

_Fisc._ The governor will thank you; 'Tis he shall be your pay-master;
you shall have your pardon drawn up beforehand; and remember, no
transitory sum, three hundred quadruples in your own country gold.

_Per._ Well, name your man.

_Enter_ JULIA.

_Fisc._ Your wife comes, take it in whisper. [_They whisper._

_Jul._ Yonder is my master, and my Dutch servant; how lovingly they
talk in private! if I did not know my Don's temper to be monstrously
jealous, I should think, they were driving a secret bargain for my
body; but _cuerpo_ is not to be digested by my Castilian. _Mi Moher_,
my wife, and my mistress! he lays the emphasis on me, as if to cuckold
him were a worse sin, than breaking the commandment. If my English
lover, Beamont, my Dutch love, the Fiscal, and my Spanish husband,
were painted in a piece, with me amongst them, they would make a
pretty emblem of the two nations that cuckold his Catholic majesty in
his Indies.

_Fisc._ You will undertake it then?

_Per._ I have served under Towerson as his lieutenant, served him
well, and, though I say it, bravely; yet never have been rewarded,
though he promised largely; 'tis resolved, I'll do it.

_Fisc._ And swear secresy?

_Fisc._ Go wait upon the governor from me, confer with him about it in
my name, this seal will give you credit. [_Gives him his seal._

_Per._ I go. [_Goes a step or two, while the other approaches his
wife._] What shall I be, before I come again? [_Exit._

_Fisc._ Now, my fair mistress, we shall have the opportunity which I
have long desired. [_To_ JULIA.

_Per._ The governor is now a-sleeping; this is his hour of afternoon's
repose, I'll go when he is awake. [_Returning._

_Fisc._ He slept early this afternoon; I left him newly waked.

_Per._ Well, I go then, but with an aching heart. [_Exit._

_Fisc._ So, at length he's gone.

_Jul._ But you may find he was jealous, by his delay.

_Fisc._ If I were as you, I would give evident proofs, should cure him
of that disease for ever after.

_Enter_ PEREZ _again._

_Per._ I have considered on't, and if you would go along with me to
the governor, it would do much better.

_Fisc._ No, no, that would make the matter more suspicious. The devil
take thee for an impertinent cuckold! [_Aside._

_Per._ We
