De Ga. Fy, ladies!
Preserve your freedom still.
Lil. Well, well, for this time.
Lug. And carry that full state—
Ros. That’s as the wind stands;
If it begin to chop about, and scant us,
Hang me, but I know what I’ll do!
Come, direct us;
I make no doubt, we shall do handsomely.
De Ga. Some part o’ th’ way, we’ll wait upon you, ladies;
The rest your man supplies.
Lug. Do well, I’ll honour ye.
[Exeunt.
SCENE IV.—A Room in a neighbouring House with a Gallery.
Enter the young Man disguised as a Factor and Mirabel above; Oriana disguised, and two disguised as Merchants.
Fac. Look you, sir, there she is; you see how busy.
Methinks you are infinitely bound to her, for her journey.
Mir. How gloriously she shows! She’s a tall woman.
Fac. Of a fair size, sir. My master not being at home,
I have been so out of my wits to get her company!
I
mean, sir, of her own fair sex and fashion—
Mir. Afar off, she’s most fair too.
Fac. Near, most excellent.—
At length, I have entreated two fair ladies
(And happily you know ’em), the
young daughters
Of monsieur Nantolet—
Mir. I know ’em well, sir.
What are those? jewels?
Fac. All.
Mir. They make a rich show.
Fac. There is a matter of ten thousand pounds too
Was owing here: You see those merchants with her;
They
have brought it in now.
Mir. How handsomely her shape shows!
Fac. Those are still neat; your Italians are most curious.
Now she looks this way.
Mir. She has a goodly presence!
How full of courtesy! Well, sir, I’ll leave you;
And if I may be bold to
bring a friend or two,
Good noble gentlemen—
Fac. No doubt, you may, sir;
For you have most command.
Mir. I have seen a wonder!
[Exit.
Ori. Is he gone?
Fac. Yes.
