go_.
_Enter_ Friendlove _disguised, as one from a Camp_.
_Cel_. Madam, you must not go with this Mistake.
[_Holds her_.
_Friend_. _Celinda_ has inform'd me true--'tis she--
Good morrow, Brother, what, so early at your Devotions?
_Cel_. O, my Brother's come, and luckily relieves me. [_Aside_.
_Friend_. Your Orizons are made to a fair Saint.
--Pray, Sir, what Lady's that?
--Or is it blasphemy to repeat her Name?
--By my bright Arms, she's fair--With what a charming
Fierceness, she charges through my Body to my Heart.
--Death! how her glittering Eyes give Fire, and wound!
And have already pierc'd my very Soul!
--May I approach her, Brother?
_Cel_. Yes, if you dare, there's danger in it though,
She has Charms that will bewitch you:
--I dare not stand their Mischief.
[_Exit_.
_Friend_. Lady, I am a Soldier--yet in my gentlest Terms
I humbly beg to kiss your lovely Hands--
Death! there's Magick in the Touch.
By Heaven, you carry an Artillery in every part.
_Dia_. This is a Man indeed fit for my purpose. [_Aside_.
_Friend_. Nay, do not view me, I am no lovely Object;
I am a Man bred up to Noise and War,
And know not how to dress my Looks in Smiles;
Yet trust me, fair one, I can love and serve
As well as an _Endymion_, or _Adonis_.
Wou'd you were willing to permit that Service!
_Dia_. Why, Sir?--What cou'd you do?
_Friend_. Why--I cou'd die for you.
_Dia_. I need the Service of the living, Sir.
But do you love me, Sir?
_Friend_. Or let me perish, flying from a single Enemy.
I am a Gentleman, and may pretend to love you;
And what you can command, I can perform.
_Dia_. Take heed, Sir, what you say, for I'm in earnest.
_Friend_. Command me any thing that's just and brave;
And, by my Eyes, 'tis done.
_Dia_. I know not what you call just or brave;
But those whom I do the Honour to command,
Must not capitulate.
_Friend_. Let him be blasted with the Name of Coward,
That dares dispute your Orders.
_Dia_. Dare you fight for me?
_Friend_. With a whole Army; 'tis my Trade to fight.
_Dia_. Nay, 'tis but a single Man.
_Friend_. Name him.
_Dia_. _Bellmour_.
_Friend_. Of _Yorkshire_? Companion to young _Friendlove_, that came
lately from _Italy_?
_Dia_. Yes, do you know him?
_Friend_. I do, who has oft spoke of _Bellmour_;
We travel'd into _Italy_ together--But since, I hear,
He fell in
