[Enter _Perez_.]

What Masque is this now?
More tropes and figures, to abuse my sufferance,
What cousin's this?

Juan de Castro:

_Michael van owle_, how dost thou?
In what dark barn or tod of aged Ivy
Hast thou lyen hid?

Michael Perez:

Things must both ebbe and flow, Coronel,
And people must conceal, and shine again.
You are welcom hither as your friend may say, Gentleman,
A pretty house ye see handsomely seated,
Sweet and convenient walks, the waters crystal.

Alonzo:

He's certain mad.

Juan de Castro:

As mad as a French Tayler,
That has nothing in's head but ends of fustians.

Michael Perez:

I see you are packing now my gentle cousin,
And my wife told me I should find it so,
'Tis true I do, you were merry when I was last here,
219] But 'twas your will to try my patience Madam.
I am sorry that my swift occasions
Can let you take your pleasure here no longer,
Yet I would have you think my honour'd cousin,
This house and all I have are all your servants.

Leon:

What house, what pleasure Sir, what do you mean?

Michael Perez:

You hold the jest so stiff, 'twill prove discourteous,
This house I mean, the pleasures of this place.

Leon:

And what of them?

Michael Perez:

They are mine Sir, and you know it,
My wifes I mean, and so confer'd upon me,
The hangings Sir I must entreat, your servants,
That are so busie in their offices,
Again to minister to their right uses,
I shall take view o'th' plate anon, and furnitures
That are of under place; you are merry still cousin,
And of a pleasant constitution,
Men of great fortunes make their mirths _at placitum_.

Leon:

Prethee good stubborn wife, tell me directly,
Good evil wife leave fooling and tell me honestly,
Is this my kinsman?

Margarita:

I can tell ye nothing.

Leon:

I have many kinsmen, but so mad a one,
And so phantastick--all the house?

Michael Perez:

All mine,
And all within it. I will not bate ye an ace on't.
Can you not receive a noble courtesie,
And quietly and handsomely as ye ought Couz,
But you must ride o'th' top on't?

Leon:

Canst thou fight?

Michael Perez:

I'le tell ye presently, I could have done Sir
