son. _Glo._ Truly, Sir, you are mightily beholden to her, that she should have all this good Will to your Person and Conversation before she sees you. _Hau._ Ay, so I am; therefore, Sir, I desire to see your Daughter, for I shall hardly be so generous as she has been, and be quits with her before I see her. _Car._ Why, Sir, I hop'd you lik'd her when you saw her last. _Hau._ Stark mad-- I saw her last! why, what the Devil do you mean? I never saw her in all my Life, man. Stark mad, as I am true Dutch-- [Aside. _Car._ A Lover always thinks the time tedious: But here's my Daughter. Enter _Euphemia_ and _Olinda_. _Hau._ Ay, one of these must be she: but 'tis a Wonder I should not know which she is by instinct. [Aside.

'Slife, Sir, would you disappoint all our Ship's Company?-- _Hau._ That's according as I find this proud Tit in Humour. _Car._ And why so coy? pray why all this Dissimulation?
