er than _Don Del Phobos_,
or _Don Quixote_, let me be hang'd up for the Sign of the Black Boy on
my own Poles at a _Spanish_ Inn door.
_Ant_. We'll be with you presently.
_Guil_. And if you find me not en Cavalier, say Clothes, Garniture,
Points, and Feathers have lost their Power of making one.
[_Ex_. Guz. _and_ Page, _and_ Guil.
_Enter, opening the door_, Jacinta.
_Car_. Hah, the Door opens, and surely 'tis a Woman that advances: dear
_Antonio_, wait a little farther;--who's there?
_Jac_. Hah, if it should be old _Francisco_ now.
_Car_. Let it be who it will, I'll tell my name, it cannot injure
either;--I'm _Carlos_, who are you?
_Jac_. A thing that looks for him you name--_Jacinta_;--are you alone?
_Car_. Never since _Julia_ did possess my heart; what news, my dearest
Messenger of Love? what may I hope?--
_Enter_ Julia.
_Jul_. All that the kindest Mistress can bestow, If _Carlos_ loves, and
still will keep his Vows.
_Car_. _Julia_, my Life, my Soul, what happy Stars Conspir'd to give me
this dear lucky minute?
_Jul_. Those that conducted old _Francisco_ out,
And will too soon return him back again;
I dare not stay to hear thy love or chiding,
Both which have power to charm, since both proceed
From a kind heart, that's mine.
_Car_. Oh, take not this dear Body from my Arms,
For if you do, my Soul will follow it.
_Jul_. What would'st thou have me do?
_Car_. Be wondrous kind, be lavish of thy Heart,
Be generous in thy Love, and give me all.
_Jul_. Oh Heavens! what mean you? I shall die with fear.
_Car_. Fear! let coward Lovers fear, who love by halves,
We that intirely love are bold in Passion,
Like Soldiers fir'd with glory dread no Danger.
_Jul_. But should we be unthrifty in our Loves,
And for one Moment's joy give all away,
And be hereafter damn'd to pine at distance?
_Car_. Mistaken Miser, Love like Money put
Into good hands increases every day,
Still as you trust me, still the Sum amounts:
Put me not off with promise of to morrow,
To morrow will take care for new delights,
Why shou'd that rob us of a present one?
_Jul_. Ah, _Carlos_! How fondly do I listen to thy words,
And fain would chide, and fain wou'd boast my Virtue,
But mightier Love laughs at those poor delays;
And I should doubtless give you all your _Julia_,
Did not my fear prevent my kinder business;
--And should _Francisco_ come and find me absent,
Or take
