with this Gentleman,
Would you speak, Lady?

Clara:

With you, Sir, as I guess, _Juan de Castro_.

Michael Perez:

Her Curtain opens, she is a pretty Gentlewoman.

Juan de Castro:

I am the Man, and shall be bound to Fortune,
I may do any service to your Beauties.

Clara:

Captain, I hear you are marching down to _Flanders_,
To serve the Catholick King.

Juan de Castro:

I am sweet Lady.

Clara:

I have a Kinsman, and a noble Friend,
Imploy'd in those Wars, may be, Sir, you know him,
_Don Campusano_ Captain of _Carbines_,
To whom I would request your Nobleness,
To give this poor Remembrance.

[A Letter.

I know the Gentleman, a most worthy Captain.

Clara:

Nor bold intruder on her special favours,
I know how tender Reputation is,
And with what guards it ought to be preserv'd, Lady,

Michael Perez:

As I am a Gentleman, by the honour of a Souldier.

Estifania:

I believe you,
I pray you be civil, I believe you would see me,
And when you have seen me I believe you will like me,
But in a strange place, to a stranger too,
As if I came on purpose to betray you,
Indeed I will not.

Michael Perez:

I shall love you dearly,
And 'tis a sin to fling away affection,
I have no Mistress, no desire to honour
Any but you, will not this Oyster open?
I know not, you have struck me with your modesty;
She will draw sure; so deep, and taken from me
All the desire I might bestow on others,
Quickly before they come.

Estifania:

Indeed I dare not:
But since I see you are so desirous, Sir,
To view a poor face t
