Portion, what wou'd you more? [Aside to the _Guar._ Look ye, Sir. [Pulls off their Disguise. _Blunt._ _Hunt!_ _Feth._ _Shift!_ We are betray'd: all will out to the Captain. _Will._ He shall know no more of it than he does already for me, Gentlemen. [Pulls off his Disguise. _Blunt._ _Willmore!_ _Feth._ Ay, ay,'tis he. _Blunt._ Draw, Sir-- you know me-- _Will._ --For one that 'tis impossible to cozen. [All laugh. _Beau._ Have a care, Sir, we are all for the Captain. _Feth._ As for that, Sir, we fear ye not, d'ye see, were you _Hercules_ and all his Myrmidons. [Draws, but gets behind. _Will._ Fools, put up your Swords, Fools, and do not publish the Jest; your Money you shall have again, on condition you never pretend to be wiser than your other Men, but modestly believe you may be cozen'd as well as your Neighbours. [The _Guardian_ talking with _Hunt_ and _Shift_ and _Giant_ this while. _Feth._ La you, _Ned_, why shou'd Friends fall out? _Blunt._ Cozen'd! it may be not, Sir; for look ye, Sir, the _Essex_ Fool, the cozen'd dull Rogue can shew Moveables or so-- nay, they are right too-- [Shews his Jewels. This is no _Naples_ Adventure, Gentlemen, no Copper Chains; all substantial Diamonds, Pearls and Rubies-- [_Will._ takes the Casket, and looks in it. _La Nu._ Hah, do not I know that Casket, and those Jewels! _Feth._ How the Pox came this Rogue by these? _Will._ Hum, _Edward_, I confess you have redeem'd your Reputation, and shall hereafter pass for a Wit-- by what good fortune came you by this Treasure?-- what Lady-- _Blunt._ Lady, Sir! alas no, I'm a Fool, a Country Fop, an Ass, I; but that you may perceive your selves mistaken, Gentlemen, this is but an earnest of what's to come, a small token of remembrance, or so-- and yet I have no Charms, I; the fine Captain has all the Wit and Beauty-- but thou'rt my Friend, and I'll impart. [Brings out _Petronella_ veil'd. Enter _Aurelia_ and _Sancho_. _Aur._ Hither we trac'd her, and see she's yonder. _San._ Sir, in the King's Name lay hold of this old Cheat, she has this Night robb'd our _Patrona_ of a hundred thousand Crowns in Money and Jewels. _Blunt._ Hah! [Gets from her. _La Nu._ You are mistaken, Friend _Sancho_, she only seiz'd 'em for my use, and has deliver'd 'em in trust to my Friend the Captain. _Pet._ Hah, _La Nuche_! _Blunt._ How! cozen'd again! _Will._ Look
