_Serv._ _Myn heer Haunce van Ezel_, Sir.
_Hau._ Ha, ha, ha, well guest, i'faith now.

Charges of the first Compliments, hah: but hark ye, hark ye, Friend, are
you sure this is the House of Don _Carlo_?
_Serv._ Why, Sir, have you forgot it?
_Hau._ Forgot it! ha, ha, ha, dost hear, _Gload_? forgot it! why how the

_Glo._ Sir, I believe this is some new-fashion'd Civility in Spain,
