how unlike the lump I took him for,
The piece of ignorant dow, he stood up to me
And mated my commands, this was your providence,
Your wisdom, to elect this Gentleman,
Your excellent forecast in the man, your knowledge,
What think ye now?

Altea:

I think him an Asse still,
This boldness some of your people have blown
Into him, this wisdom too with strong wine,
'Tis a Tyrant, and a Philosopher also, and finds
Out reasons.

Margarita:

I'le have my celler lockt, no school kept there,
Nor no discovery. I'le turn my drunkards,
Such as are understanding in their draughts,
And dispute learnedly the whyes and wherefores,
To grass immediatly, I'le keep all fools,
Sober or drunk, still fools, that shall know nothing,
Nothing belongs to mankind, but obedience,
And such a hand I'le keep over this Husband.

Altea:

He will fall again, my life he cryes by this time,
Keep him from drink, he has a high constitution.

[Enter _Leon_.]

Leon:

Shall I wear my new sute Madam?

Margarita:

No your old clothes,
And get you into the country presently,
And see my hawks well train'd, you shall have victuals,
Such as are fit for sawcy palats Sir,
And lodgings with the hindes, it is too good too.

Altea:

Good Madam be not so rough, with repentance,
You see now he's come round again.

Margarita:

I see not what I expect to see.

Leon:

You shall see Madam, if it shall please your Ladyship.

Altea:

He's humbled,
Forgive good Lady,

Margarita:

Well go get you handsom,
And let me hear no more.

Leon:

Have ye yet no feeling?
I'le pinch ye to the bones then my proud Lady.

[Exit.

Margarita:

See you preserve him thus upon my favour,
You know his temper, tye him to the grindstone,
The next rebellion I'le be rid of him,
I'le have no needy Rascals I tye to me,
Dispute my life: come in and see all handsom.

Altea:

I hope to see you so too, I have wrought ill else.
[Exeunt.

Michael Perez:

Shall I never return to mine own house again?
