ges to _Wellman's_ Tent.
Enter _Wellman_, _Brag_, _Grubb_, and Officers.
_Well._ I cannot sleep, my Impatience is so great to engage this haughty
Enemy, before they have reposed their weary Limbs--Is not yon ruddy
Light the Morning's dawn?
_Brag._ 'Tis, and please your Honour.
_Well._ Is there no News of _Friendly_ yet, and _Hazard_?
_Brag._ Not yet--'tis thought they left the Camp to night, with some
design against the Enemy.
_Well._ What Men have they?
_Brag._ Only _Boozer's_ Party, Sir.
_Well._ I know they are brave, and mean to surprize me with some
handsome Action.
Enter _Friendly_.
_Friend._ I ask a thousand Pardons, Sir, for quitting the Camp without
your leave.
_Well._ Your conduct and your Courage cannot err; I see thou'st been in
action by thy Blood.
_Friend._ Sir, I'm ashamed to own these slender Wounds, since without

_Tim._ With our assistance, Ladies.
_Whim._ For my part I'll not take it as I have done; Gad, I find, when I
am damnable angry, I can beat both Friend and Foe.
_Whiff._ When I fight for my _Nancy_ here--adsfish, I'm a Dragon.
Mrs. _Whiff._ Lord, you need not have been so hasty.
_Friend._ Do not upbraid me with your Eyes, _Chrisante_; but let these
Wounds assure you I endeavour'd to serve you, though _Hazard_ had the
Honour on't.
_Well._ But, Ladies, we'll not expose you in the Camp,--a Party of our
Men shall see you safely conducted to Madam _Surelove's_; 'tis but a
little Mile from our Camp.
_Friend._ Let me have that honour, Sir.
_Chris._ No, I conjure you let your Wounds be dress'd; obey me if you
love me, and _Hazard_ shall conduct us home.
_Well._ He had the Toil, 'tis fit he have the Recompence.
_Whiff._ He the Toil, Sir! what, did we stand for Cyphers?
_Whim._ The very appearance I made in the front of the Battel, aw'd the
Enemy.
_Tim._ Ay, ay, let the Enemy say how I maul'd 'em--but Gads zoors,
