does thy Amour thrive?
_Haz._ As well as I can wish in so short a time.
_Friend._ I see she regards thee with kind Eyes, Sighs and Blushes.
_Haz._ Yes, and tells me I am so like a Brother she had --to excuse her
kind concern,--then blushes so prettily, that, Gad, I cou'd not forbear
making a discovery of my Heart.
_Friend._ Have a care of that, come upon her by slow degrees, for I know
she is virtuous;--but come, let's to the _Sevana_, where I'll present
you to the two Colonels, _Wellman_ and _Downright_, the Men that manage
all till the arrival of the Governour.
[Exeunt.
SCENE II. The _Sevana_ or Heath.
Enter _Wellman_, _Downright_, _Boozer_, and Officers.
_Well._ Have you dispatch'd the Scouts, to watch the Motions of the

give you your Kinsman's Command, Captain of a Troop of Horse-Guards, and
which I'm sure will be continued to you when the Governour arrives.
_Haz._ I shall endeavour to deserve the Honour, Sir.

_Dull._ If we are, they shall look a new Major for me.
