, for asking such a sneaking Sum-- He that will be satisfied with one Kiss, will never die of that Longing; good Friend single-Kiss, is all your talking come to this? A Kiss, a Caudle! farewel, Captain single-Kiss. [Going out he stays her. _Will._ Nay, if we part so, let me die like a Bird upon a Bough, at the Sheriff's Charge. By Heaven, both the _Indies_ shall not buy thee from me. I adore thy Humour and will marry thee, and we are so of one Humour, it must be a Bargain-- give me thy Hand-- [Kisses her hand.] And now let the blind ones (Love and Fortune) do their worst. _Hell._ Why, God-a-mercy, Captain! _Will._ But harkye-- The Bargain is now made; but is it not fit we should know each other's Names? That when we have Reason to curse one another hereafter, and People ask me who 'tis I give to the Devil, I may at least be able to tell what Family you came of. _Hell._ Good reason, Captain; and where I have cause, (as I doubt not but I shall have plentiful) that I may know at whom to throw my-- Blessings-- I beseech ye your Name. _Will._ I am call'd _Robert the Constant_. _Hell._ A very fine Name! pray was it your Faulkner or Butler that christen'd you? Do they not use to whistle when then call you? _Will._ I hope you have a better, that a Man may name without crossing himself, you are so merry with mine. _Hell._ I am call'd _Hellena the Inconstant_. Enter _Pedro_, _Belvile_, _Florinda_, _Fred_. _Valeria_. _Ped._ Hah! _Hellena!_ _Flor._ _Hellena!_ _Hell._ The very same-- hah my Brother! now, Captain, shew your Love and Courage; stand to your Arms, and defend me bravely, or I am lost for ever. _Ped._ What's this I hear? false Girl, how came you hither, and what's your Business? Speak. [Goes roughly to her. _Will._ Hold off, Sir, you have leave to parly only. [Puts himself between. _Hell._ I had e'en as good tell it, as you guess it. Faith, Brother, my Business is the same with all living Creatures of my Age, to love, and be loved, and here's the Man. _Ped._ Perfidious Maid, hast thou deceiv'd me too, deceiv'd thy self and Heaven? _Hell._ 'Tis time enough to make my Peace with that: Be you but kind, let me alone with Heaven. _Ped._ _Belvile_, I did not expect this false Play from you; was't not enough you'd gain _Florinda_ (which I pardon'd) but your leud Friends too must be inrich'd with the Spoils of a noble Family? _Belv._ Faith, Sir, I am as much surpriz'd
