I have an house to entertain an army.
Alonzo:
If thy wife be fair, thou wilt have few less
Come to thee.
Michael Perez:
But where they'l get entertainment is the point Signior.
I beat no Drum.
Alonzo:
You need none but her taber,
May be I'le march after a month or two,
To get me a fresh stomach. I find Coronel
A wantonness in wealth, methinks I agree not with,
'Tis such a trouble to be married too,
And have a thousand things of great importance,
Jewels and plates, and fooleries molest me,
To have a mans brains whimsied with his wealth:
Before I walk'd contentedly.
[Enter _Servant_.]
Servant:
My Mistris Sir is sick, because you are absent,
She mourns and will not eat.
Michael Perez:
Alas my Jewel,
Come I'le goe with thee, Gentlemen your fair leaves,
You see I am ti'd a little to my yoke,
Pray pardon me, would ye had both such loving wives.
Juan de Castro:
I thank ye
[Exit _Perez_, Servant.
For your old boots, never be blank _Alonzo_,
Because this fellow has outstript thy fortune,
Tell me ten daies hence what he is, and how
The gracious state of matrimony stands with him,
Come, let's to dinner, when _Margarita_ comes
185] We'l visit both, it may be then your fortune.
[Exeunt.
[Enter _Margarita_, _Altea_, and Ladies.]
Margarita:
Is he come?
Altea:
Yes Madam, h'as been here this half hour,
I have question'd him of all that you can ask him,
And find him as fit as you had made the man,
He will make the goodliest shadow for iniquity.
Margarita:
Have ye searcht him Ladies?
Omnes:
Is a man at all points, a likely man.
Margarita:
Call him in _Altea_.
[Exit _Lady_.
[Enter _Leon_, _Altea_.]
A man of a good presence, pray ye come this way,
Of a lusty body, is his mind so tame?
Altea:
Pray ye question him, and if you find him not
Fit for your purpose, shake him off, there's no harm
Done.
Margarita:
Can you love a young Lady? How he blushes!
Altea:
Leave twirling of your hat, and hold your head up
