ithee dress thy Eyes in all their Charms; For this uncertainty disturbs me more, Than if I knew _Clarina_ were a--Whore. [Exeunt severally. ACT II. SCENE I. The Apartment of _Frederick_. Enter _Frederick_ with a Letter, and _Galliard_. _Fred._ Not allow me to speak to her, say ye, 'tis strange; Didst say it was the Prince that sent thee? _Gal._ My Lord, I did, but he says, he cares not for A thousand Princes. _Fred._ I am resolv'd I will see this Woman; --Harkye, go back again and say-- [Whispers. Enter _Lorenzo_ drunk. _Lor._ Hah, the Prince--he must not see me In this pickle; for I would not lose my Reputation Of Wenching for this of Drinking; And I am sure I cannot be excellent at both, They are inconsistent. _Gal._ I shall, my Lord. [Exit. _Lor._ Your Highness's humble Servant. _Fred._ Ha, ha, what, _Lorenzo_ in debauch? _Lor._ Now my Tongue will betray me:-- Faith, my Lord, I have took six, but am come briskly off; By this hand, my Lord, I am Cock over five Stout Rogues too, I can tell you, at this sport. _Fred._ I did not think thou hadst had that Virtue. _Lor._ I'll tell you, Sir, 'tis necessary those of my Office and Quality should have more Virtues Than one to recommend them; But to tell you truth, for now I am most apt for that, I was drunk in mere Malice to day. _Fred._ Malice, against whom, prithee? _Lor._ Why, why, Sir, the humorous old Fellow, My Father, He will not hear reason from me when I am sober. My Lord, you know _Curtius_ is an honest Fellow, And one of us too; My Sister _Laura_ is a good pretty Wench, He loves her, and she likes him; And because this testy old Blade has done himself, Do you think I can bring him to consider? No, not for my Life, he won't consider, Sir; And now am I got drunk to see how that will edify him. _Fred._ How! is _Laura_, the Mistress of _Curtius_, your Sister? _Lor._ Yes, marry is she, Sir, at least by the Mother's side; And to tell you truth, We are too good-natur'd to believe _Salvator_ our Father. _Fred._ Thy Sister, and Daughter to _Salvator_? _Lor._ So said my Mother, but she was handsome; And on my conscience liv'd e'en in such another Debauch'd World as 'tis now, let them say What they will of their primitive Virtue. _Fred._ May not I see this Sister of thine, _Lorenzo_? _Lor._
