ll, I must go then. [_Exit_ PEREZ. _Jul._ Nay, there was never the like of him; but it shall not serve his turn, we'll cuckold him most furiously. _Enter_ PEREZ _again._ _Per._ I had forgot one thing; dear sweet-heart, go home quickly, and oversee our business; it won't go forward without one of us. _Fisc._ I warrant you, take no care of your business; leave it to me, I'll put it forward in your absence: Go, go, you'll lose your opportunity; I'll be at home before you, and sup with you to-night. _Per._ You shall be welcome, but-- _Fisc._ Three hundred quadruples. _Per._ That's true, but-- _Fisc._ But three hundred quadruples. _Per._ The devil take the quadruples! _Enter_ BEAMONT. _Beam._ There's my cuckold that must be, and my fellow swaggerer, the Dutchman, with my mistress: my nose is wiped to-day; I must retire, for the Spaniard is jealous of me. _Per._ Oh, Mr Beamont, I'm to ask a favour of you. _Beam._ This is unusual; pray command it, signior. _Per._ I am going upon urgent business; pray sup with me to-night, and, in the meantime, bear my worthy friend here company. _Beam._ With all my heart. _Per._ So, now I am secure; though I dare not trust her with one of them, I may with both; they'll hinder one another, and preserve my honour into the bargain.
