nor
made sign during the combate, but that once done.

_Pan_.

He slips o're all the fight.

_Bes_.

I call'd him to me, _Cosroes_ said I.

_Pan_.

I will hear no more.

_Bes_.

No, no, I lie.

_Bac_.

I dare be sworn thou dost.

_Bes_.

Captain said I, so it was.

_Pan_.

I tell thee, I will hear no further.

_Bes_.

No? Your Grace will wish you had.

_Pan_.

I will not wish it, what is this the Lady
My brother writes to me to take?

_Bes_.

And please your Grace this is she: Charge, will you come near the
Princess?

_Pan_.

You'r welcome from your Country, and this land shall shew unto
you all the kindness that I can make it; what's your name?

_Spa_.

_Thalectris_.

_Pan_.

Y'are very welcome, you have got a letter to put you to me, that
has power enough to place mine enemy here; then much more you
that are so far from being so to me that you ne're saw me.

_Bes_.

Madam, I dare pass my word for her truth.

_Spa_.

My truth?

_Pan_.

Why Captain, do you think I am afraid she'l steal?

_Bes_.

I cannot tell, servants are slippery, but I dare give my word for
her, and for honesty, she came along with me, and many favours
she did me by the way, but by this light none but what she might
do with modesty, to a man of my rank.

_Pan_.

Why Captain, here's no body thinks otherwise.

_Bes_.

Nay, if you should, your Grace may think your pleasure; but I am
sure I brought her from _Armenia_, and in all that way, if ever I
touch'd any bare of her above her knee, I pray God I may sink
where I stand.

_Spa_.

Above my knee?

_Bes_.

No, you know I did not, and if any man will say, I did, this
sword shall answer; Nay, I'le defend the reputation of my charge
whilst I live, your Grace shall understand I am secret in these
businesses, and know how to defend a Ladies honour.

_Spa_.

I hope your Grace knows him so well already, I shall not need to
tell you he's vain and foolish.

_Bes_.

I you may call me what you please, but I'le defend your good name
against the world; and so I take my leave of your Grace, and of
you my Lord Protector; I am likewise glad to see your Lordship
well.

_Bac_.

O Captain _Bessus_, I thank you, I would speak with you
anon.

_Bes_.

When you please, I will attend your Lordship.

_Bac_.

Madam, I'le take my leave too.

_Pan_.
