and better.

_Cam._ The younger of these sisters, Violetta, I have seen often in
the garden, from the balcony in this chamber, which looks into it;
have divers times shot tickets on the point of an arrow, which she has
taken; and, by the signs she made me, I find they were not ill
received.

_Ben._ I'll tell you now, just such an amour as this had I once with a
young lady, that--

_Aur._ Quote yourself again, you rogue, and my feet shall renew their
acquaintance with your buttocks.

_Cam._ Dear Benito, take care to convey this ticket to Violetta; I saw
her just now go by to the next chapel: be sure to stand ready to give
her holy water, and slip the ticket into the hand of her woman
Beatrix; and take care the elder sister, Laura, sees you not, for she
knows nothing of our amour.

_Ben._ A word to the wise. Have you no service to Laura? [_To_ AUR.

_Aur._ None that I shall trouble you withal; I'll see first what
returns you make from this voyage, before I put in my venture with
you. Away; begone, Mr Mercury.

_Ben._ I fly, Mr Jupiter. [_Exit._

_Aur._ This lady, Laura, I have seen from your balcony, and was seen
by her. Methought, too, she looked with a languishing eye upon me, as
who should say, Are you a man, and have no pity for a poor distressed
virgin? For my part, I never found so much disposition in myself to
love any woman at first sight. Handsome she is; of that I am certain.

_Cam._ And has wit, I dare assure you; but I have not heard she has
admitted of any gallantry.

_Aur._ Her hour is not come yet; she has not met with a man to love;
when that happens, (as I am resolved to push my fortune) you shall see
that, as her love warms, her virtue will melt down, and dissolve in
it; for there's no such bawd to a woman, as her own wit is.

_Cam._ I look upon the assignation as certain; will you promise me to
go? You and Benito shall walk in the garden, while I search the nymph
within the shade. One thing I had forgot to tell you, that our general
of the church, the Duke of Mantua, and the prince his son, are just
approaching the gates of Rome. Will you go see the ceremony of their
entrance?

_Aur._ With all my heart. They say he has behaved himself gallantly
against the French, at their return from Naples. Besides, I have a
particular knowledge of young prince Frederick, ever since he was last
at our Venetian carnivals.

_Cam._ Away, then, quickly; lest we miss
