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 Enemies? I know that _Bacon_ is violent and haughty, and will resent our vain Attempts upon him; therefore we must be speedy in prevention. _Down._ What Forces have you raised since our last order? _Booz._ Here's a List of 'em, they came but slowly in, till we promised every one a Bottle of Brandy.

Enter _Dull._ _Tim._ _Whim._ and _Whiff_, all in Buff, Scarf, and Feather. _Down._ So, Gentlemen, I see you're in a readiness. _Tim._ Readiness! What means he, I hope we are not to be drawn out to go against the Enemy, Major. _Dull._ If we are, they shall look a new Major for me. _Well._ We were debating, Gentlemen, what course were best to pursue against this powerful Rebel. _Friend._ Why, Sir, we have Forces e
