_Gload._ And pray, Sir, may I have leave to marry the Maid too?

_Alon._ We'll consider on't.

_Hau._ I am not such a Fool to venture tho, till I know the Coast is
clear, for his very Looks are terrible; but go you, _Gload_, and tell
her what he says.
[_Alonzo_ talks to _Lovis_.

Enter _Hippolyta_ from aside.

_Hip._ These be the Men that rescu'd me this morning,
And are not to be employ'd in my Affair.
But yonder Stranger has a noble Look,
And from him I'll intreat this Favour-- Sir-- [To _Alonzo_.

_Alon._ With me, Sir?

_Hip._ Yes, please you to walk a little this way, Sir.
[Takes him aside.

_Hau._ Well, make you sure of Fiddles, for look ye, we'll appear to
night like our selves.

_Gload._ It shall be done, Sir.

_Hip._ I am a Stranger and a Gentleman,
And have an humble Suit to you.

_Alon._ You may command me any thing.

the Cavalier [To _Haunce_, who starts as afraid.] you fought with this
Morning in St. _Peter's_ Grove, that had a Lady with him?

_Hau._ So, now perhaps I shall be hang'd for that. [Aside.
I fight, Sir! I never fought in my Life, nor saw no Man, not I.

_Gload._ 'Sha, you may confess it, Sir; there's no Law against killing
in _Spain_.

_Hip._ How, have you murder'd him? [Takes hold of him.

_Hau._ This Rogue has a mind to have me dispatch'd. [Aside.
Hold, Sir, the Man's as well and alive as you are, and is now at my
Lodgings: look ye, here's the Dagger I disarm'd him of-- but that I do
not love to boast.
[Shews it.

_Hip._ It is the same.

_Alon._ Sir, I shall not fail to wait on you with the Answer I receive.

_Hip._ I humbly thank you, Sir.

_Alon._ So prithee, dear _Lovis_, go make my excuse to your Sister for a
moment, and let her get all things ready against I come; let the Priest
too wait, for I see my Destiny, which I can no
