Actus Secundi

Scæna Prima.

Enter Longaville and Dubois
Long.
What shall we do now: swords are out of use,
And words are out of credit.

Dub.
We must serve.

Long.
The meanes to get a service will first spend
Our purses; and except we can allow
Our selves an entertainment, service will
Neglect us; now tis grown into a doubt
Whether the Mr. or the servant gives the countenance.

Dub.
Then fall in with Mistresses.

Long.
They keep more servants now (indeed) then men,
But yet the age is grown so populous
Of those attendants, that the women are
Grown full to.

Dub.
What shall we propund our selves?

Long.
I'le think on't.

Dub.

Do; Old occupations have too many setters up to
prosper, some uncommon trade would thrive now.


Long.
Wee'l ee'n make up some half a dozen proper men,
And should not we get more
Then all your female sinners?

Dub.
If the house be seated as it should be privately.

Long.
I but that would make a multitude of witches.

Dub.
VVitches? how prethee?

Long.
Thus the bauds would all turn witches to revenge
Themselves upon; us and the women that
Come to us, for disguises must wear beards,
And that's they say, a token of a witch.

Dub.
VVhat shall we then do.

Long.
VVe must study on't,
VVith more consideration; stay Duboyes
Are not the Lord of Orleans and the Lord
Of Amiens enemies?

Dub.
Yes, what of that.

Long.
Methinks the factions of two such great men.
Should give a promise of advancement now
To us that want it.

Dub.
Let the plot be thine, and in the enterprize Ile second thee.

Long.
I have it, wee will first set down our selves
The Method of a quarrell; and make choyce
Of some frequented Taverne; or such a place
Of common notice to perform it in
By way of undertaking to maintaine
The severall honours of those enemies.
Thou for the Lord of Orleanes; I for Amiens.

Dub.
I like the project, and I think 'twill take
The better, since their difference first did rise
From his occasion whom we followed once.

Long.
We cannot hope lesse after the report,
Then entertainment or gratuity,
Yet those are ends, I do not aime at most;
Greater spirits that are needy, and will thrive,
Must labour whiles such troubles are alive.

Exeunt.
Enter Laverdine, and La-poope.
La p.

Slander is sharper then the sword. I have fed this
three dayes upon leafe Tobacco, for want of other
Victuals.


Lav.

You have liv'd the honester Captaine; but be not
so dejected, but hold up thy head, and meate wil sooner
fall i'thy mouth.



155

La-p.

I care not so much for meat, so I had but good
liquor, for which my guts croak like so many Frogs for
raine.


Lav.

It seemes, you are troubled with the wind-Collick
Captaine, swallow a bullet: tis present remedy
i'le assure you.


La-p.

A bullet; if you be Captain, my panch is nothing
but a pile of bullets; when I was in any service I stood between
my Generall and the shot, like a mud-wall; I am
all lead, from the crown of the head to the soale of the
foot, not a sound bone about me.


Lav.

It seems you have bin in terrible hot service
Captaine.


La-p.

It has ever bin the fate of the low Country wars
to spoile many a man, I ha' not bin the first nor shall not
be the last: but ile tell you sir, (hunger has brought it
in to minde) I served once at the Siege of Braste 'tis memorable
to this day, where we were in great distresse
for victuals, whole troops fainted more for want of
food then for blood, and died, yet we were resolved
to stand it out; I my self was but then Gentleman of a
Company, and had as much need as any man, and indeed
I had perished had not a miraculous providence preserved
me.


Lav.

As how good Captaine?


La-p.

Marry sir ee'n as I was fainting and falling down
for want of sustenance, the enemy made a shot at me,
and struck me full ith' paunch with a penny loaf.


Lav.

Instead of a bullet!


La. p.

In stead of a bullet.


Lav.

That was miraculous in deed; and that loaf
sustained you.


Lap-p.

Nourished me or I had famished with the rest.


Lav.

You have done worthy acts being a souldier, and
now you shall give me leave to requite your tale, and
to acquaint you with the most notorious deeds that I
have done being a Courtier. I protest Captain I wil lie no
more then you have done.


La-p.

I can indure no lies.


Lav.

I know you cannot Captaine, therefore ile only
tell you of strange things, I did once a deed of charity
for it self; I assisted a poor widdow in a sute, and
obtained it, yet I protest I took not a penny for my
labour.


La-p.

Tis no such strange thing.


Lav.

By Mars Captaine, but it is, and a very strange
thing too in a Courtier, it may take the upper hand of
your penny loaf for a miracle. I could ha' told
you how many Ladies have languished for my love, and
how I was once sollicited by the mother, the daughter,
and grand-mother out of the least of which I might
have digg'd my selfe a fortune; they were all great
Ladies, for two of them were so big I could hardly embrace
them: but I was sluggish in my rising courses, and
therefore let them passe; what meanes I had is spent upon
such as had the wit to cheat me; That wealth being
gon, I have only bought experience with it, with a strong
hope to cheat others, but see here comes the much declined
Montague, who had all the Manor houses, which
were the body of his estate overthrowen by a great
winde.


Enter Montague, Mallicorne.
La-p.

How by a great winde? was he not overthrown
by law?


Lav.

Yes, marry was he: but there was terrible puffing
and blowing before he was overthrown, if you observ'd,
and believe it Captain, ther's no wind so dangerous to
a building as a lawyers breath.


La-p.

What's he with him?


Lav.

An eminent Citizen. Mounsier Mallicorne, lets
stand a side and listen their design.


Mal.

Sir, profit is the Crown of labour, it is the life, the
soule of the industrious Merchant, in it he makes his paradise,
and for it neglects Wife, Children, Friends, Parents,
nay all the world, and delivers up himselfe to the
violence of stormes, and to be tos'd into unknown
ayres; as there is no faculty so perillous, so ther's none so
worthy profitable.


Mont.

Sir, I am very well possest of it, and what of
my poore fortunes remaines, I would gladly hazzard
upon the Sea; it cannot deale worse with me then the
Land, though it sinck or throw it in the hands of Pirats.
I have yet five hundred pounds left, and your honest and
worthy acquaintance may make me a young Merchant;
th'one moity of what I have I would gladly adventure.


Mal.

How adventure? you shall hazzard nothing:
you shall only joyne with me in certaine commodities
that are safe arrived unto the Key; you shall neither be
in doubt of danger nor dammage; But so much mony
disburst, so much receive; sir I would have you conceive
I pursue it not for any good your money wil do me, but
meerly out of mine own freenesse and courtesie to pleasure
you.


Mont.

I can believe no lesse, and you expresse a noble
nature, seeking to build up a man so ruin'd as my
selfe.


Lav.

Captaine here is subject for us to worke upon if
we have wit; you hear that there is money yet left, and
it is going to be layd out in Rattels, Bels, Hobby-Horses,
brown paper, or some such like sale commodities; now
it would do better in our purses, upon our backs in
good Gold-lace, and Scarlet, and then we might pursue
our projects, and our devices towards my Lady
Annabella; go to, ther's a conceit newly landed; harck I
stand in good reputation with him, and therefore may
the better cheat him: Captaine, take a few instructions
from me.


Mont.

What monies I have is at your disposing,
and upon twelve I will meete you at the Pallace with
it.


Mal.

I wil there expect you, and so I take my leave.


Exit.
Lav.

You apprehend me?


La-p.

Why do ye think I am a dunce?


Lav.

Not a dunce Captaine, but you might give me
leave to misdoubt that pregnancy in a Souldier, which
is proper and hereditary to a Courtier; but prosequute
it, I wil both second, and give credit to it. Good Mounsier
Montague, I would your whole revenues lay within
the circuit of mine armes, that I might as easily bestow,
or restore it unto you as my curtesie.


La-p.

My zealous wishes sir, do accompany his for your
good fortunes.


Lav.

Believe it sir, our affection towards you is a strong
band of friendship.


Mont.

To which I shall most willingly seale. But believe
me Gentlemen in a broken estate, the bond of
friendship oft is forfeited, but that it is your free and ingenuous
nature to renew it.


Lav.

Sir, I wil amply extend my self to your use, and am
very zealously afflicted as not one of your least friends
for your croocked fate; But let it seise you with any
dejection, you have as I hear a sufficient competency left,
which wel disposed may erect you as high in the worlds
account as ever.


Mont.

I cannot live to hope it, much lesse injoy it, nor


156

is it any part of my endeavour; my study is to render every
man his own, and to containe my self within the
limits of a Gentleman.


Lav.

I have the grant of an Office given me by some
noble favorites of mine in Court, there stands but a
small matter between me and it, if your ability be
such to lay down the present sum, out of the love I bear
you, before any other man, it shall be confirmed
yours.


Mont.

I have heard you often speak of such a thing;
if it be assur'd to you I wil gladly deale in it that portion
I have, I would not hazard upon one course, for I
see the most certainest is incertain.


La-p.

Having money sir, you could not light upon
men that could give better direction; there is at this time
a friend of mine upon the Seas; to be plain with you,
he is a Pyrate, that hath wrote to me to work his fredom,
and by this Gentlemans meanes, whose acquaintance
is not small at Court; we have the word of a worthy
man for it, only there is some money to be suddainly
disburst, and if your happinesse be such to make it up
you shall receive treble gaine by it, and good assurance
for it.


Mont.

Gentlemen out of the weaknesse of my estate
you seem (to have some knowledge of my brest) that
wood if it were possible advance my declined fortunes,
to satisfie all men of whom I have had credit, and I know
no way better then these which you propose; I have some
money ready under my command, some part of it is already
promis'd, but the remainder is yours to such uses
as are propounded.


Lav.

Appoint some certain place of meeting, for these
affaires requires expedition.


Mont.

I wil make it my present businesse: at twelve, I
am to meet Mallicorne the Marchant at the Pallace,
you know him sir, about some negotiation of the
same nature, there I wil be ready to tender you that
money, upon such conditions as wee shall conclude
off.


Lav.

The care of it be yours, so much as they affaire
concernes you.


Mont.

Your caution is effectuall, and till then I take
my leave.


Lav.

Good Mr. Montague.


Exit.
Whithin a clamor, down with their weapons. Enter Longavile and Dubois, their swords drawn, servants and others between them.
Ser.

Nay Gentlemen what meane you pray be quiet,
have some respect unto the house.


Long.

A treacherous slave.


Du.

Thou dost revile thy self base Longavile.


Long.

I say thou art a villaine and a corrupt one, that
hast some seaven years fed on thy masters trencher, yet
never bredst good bloud towards him: for if, thou
hadst have a sounder heart.


Du.

So sir, you can use your tongue something nimbler
then your sword.


Long.

Wood you cood use your tongue well of your
Master, friend you might have better imployment for
your sword.


Du.

I say againe and I wil speak it loud and often,
that Orleans is a noble Gentleman with whom Amiens
is to light to poyse the scale.


Long.

He is the weaker for taking of a prayse out of
thy mouth.


Du.

This hand shall seale his merit at thy heart.


Lav.

Part them my masters part them.


Ser.

Part them sir, why do you not part them, you
stand by with your sword in your hand, and cry
part 'em.


Lav.

Why you must know my friend my cloaths are
better then yours, and in a good suit, I do never use to
part any body.


La-p.

And it is discretion.


Lav.

I marry is it Captaine.


Long.

Duboies though this place priviledge thee, know
where next we meet, the bloud which at thy heart flowes
drops at thy feet.


Enter Amience in hast, his sword drawne.
Du.

I would not spend it better then in this quarrell,
and on such a hazard.


Ami.

What uprores this, must my name here be question'd
in Tavern brawels, and by affected Ruffins?


Lav.

Not we indeed sir.


Du.

Fear cannot make me shrink out of your fury,
though you were greater then your name doth make you,
I am one, and the opposer, if your swoln rage have ought
in mallice to inforce expresse it.


Ami.
I seek thee not nor shalt thou ever gaine
That credit, which a blow from me wood give thee,
By my—I more detest that fellow
Which took my part then thee, that he durst offer
To take my honour in his feeble armes,
And spend it in a drinking room; which way went he?

Lav.

That way sir, I wood you wood after for I do fear
we shall have some more scuffling.


Ami.
Ile follow him, and if my speed o're take him,
I shall ill thank him for his forwardnesse.

Exit.
Lav.

I am glad he's gon, for I do not love to see a
sword drawn in the hand of a man that lookes so
furious, ther's no jesting with edge tooles, how say you
Captaine?


Cap.

I Say tis better jesting then to be in earnest with
them.


Enter Orleance.
Orl.

How now? what's the difference? they say there
have bin swords drawn, and in my quarrell, let me
know that man, whose love is so sincere to spend his
bloud for my sake, I will bounteously requite him.


Lav.

We were all of your side, but there he stands begun
it.


Orl.

What's thy name?


Dub.

Duboyes?


Orl.

Give me thy hand, thou hast receaved no hurt?


Dub.

Not any, nor wear this body stuck full of
wounds, I should not count them hurts, being taken in
so honorable a cause as the defence of my most worthy
Lord.


Orl.

The dedication of thy love to me requires my
ample bounty, thou art mine, for I do finde thee made
unto my purposes. Mounsieur Laverdine, pardon my neglect
I not observed you, and how runs rumour.


Lav.

Why, it runs my Lord like a foot man without
a cloak, to show that what's once rumour'd it cannot be
hidde.


Orl.

And what say the rable, am not I the subject of
their talk?


Lav.

Troth my Lord the common mouth speakes foule
words.


Orl.

Of me, for turning away my wife do they not?


Lav.

Faith the men do a little murmer at it and say,
'tis an ill president in so great a man, marry the women
they rayle, out right.


Orl.

Out upon them rampallions Ile keepe my selfe
safe enough out of their fingers, but what say my prity


157

Jelly composed gallant that censure every thing more
desperate then it is dangerous; what say they?


Lav.

Marry they are laying wagers, what death you
shall die; one offers to lay five hundred pounds; And
yet he had but a groat about him, & that was in two two-pences
too to any man that wo'd make it up a shilling;
that you were kil'd with a Pistoll charg'd with white
Powder; another offerd to pawne his soule for five shillings,
and yet no body wo'd take him, that you were
stab'd to death and sho'd die with more wounds then
Cesar.


Orl.

And who sho'd be the Butchers that sho'd do it?
Montague and his associates?


Lav.

So tis conjectured.


La-p.

And believe it, sweet Prince, it is to be feared,
and therefore prevented.


Orl.

By turning his purpose on himself, were not that
the way?


Lav.

The most direct path for your safety. For
where doth danger sit more furious then in a desperate
man?


La-p.

And being you have declined his meanes, you
have increast his malice.


Lav.

Besides the generall report that steems in every
mans breath, and staines you all over with infamy, that
Time the devourer of all things cannot eat out.


La-p.

I, for that former familiarity, which he had with
your Lady.


Lav.

Men speak it as boldly as words of complement;
good morrow, good even, or God save you sir, are not
more usuall; if the word cuckold had been written upon
your forehead in great Capitall Letters, it could not
have been dilated with more confidence.


Orl.

He shall not sleepe another night, I will have his
blood, though it be required at my hands again.


Lav.

Your Lordship may, and without hazzarding
your own person; he's a Gentleman in whose looks I see
a resolution to perform it.


Dub.

Let his Lordship give me but his honourable
word for my life, Ile kill him as he walks.


Lav.

Or pistoll him as he sits at meat.


La-p.

Or at game.


Lav.

Or as he is drinking.


Dub.

Any way.


Orl.

Wot thou? call what is mine thine own, thy reputation
shall not be brought in question for it, muchlesse
thy life; it shall be namd a deed of valour in thee,
not murder: Farewell.


Exit.
Dub.

I need no more encouragement, it is a worke I,
will perswade my selfe that I was borne to.


Laver.

And you may perswade your selfe to that you
shall be sav'd by it, being that it is for his honourable
Lordship.


Dub.

But you must yield me means, how, when and
where.


Lav.
That shall be our taskes;
Nay more, we will be agents with thee:
This houre we are to meet him, on the receipt of certain moneys,
Which indeed we purpose honestly to cheat him of,
And that's the many causes I wo'd have him slain,
Who works with safety makes a double gain.

Exeunt.
Enter Longaville, Amiens following him.
Ami.
Stay sir, I have took some pains to overtake you.
—Your name is Longaville?

Long.

I have the word of many honest men for't, I
crave your Lordships pardon, your sudden apprehension
on my steps made me to frame an answer unwitting and
unworthy your respect.


Ami.

Doe you know me?


Long.

Yes, my Lord.


Ami.

I know not you; nor am I well pleased to make
this time, as the affaire now stands, the induction of
your acquaintance; you are a fighting fellow?


Long.

How my Lord?


Ami.

I thinke I too much grace you; rather you are
a fellow dares not fight, but spet and puffe and make a
noyse whilst your trembling hand drawes out your
Sword, to lay it upon Andirons, stooles or tables, rather
then on a man.


Long.

Your honour may best speake this yet—
with little safety, if I thought it serious.


Ami.

Come, you are a merry braggart, and you have
given me cause to tell you so: what weaknesse have you
ever seen in me to prompt your selfe, that I could need
your helpe, or what other reasons could induce you
to it? you never yet had a meales meat from my
Table, nor as I remember from my Wardrop any cast
Suite.


Lon.

Tis true, I never durst yet have such a servile spirit,
to be the minion of a full swolne Lord; but alwaies did
detest such slavery: a meales meat, or a cast sute? I wo'd
first eate the stones, and from such rags the dunghils does
afford pick me a garment.


Ami.
I have mistook the man, his resolute spirit
Proclaimes him generous, he has a noble heart
As free to utter good deeds as to act them;
For had he not been right, and of one piece,
He would have crumpled, curled, and struck himselfe
Out of the shape of man into a shaddow.
But prethee tell me, if no such fawning hope
Did lead thee on to hazzard life for my sake;
What was it that incited thee?
Tell me; speak it without the imputation of a Sicophant.

Long.

Your own desert, and with it was joyn'd the
unfained friendship that I judged you ever held unto my
former Lord.


Ami.
The noble Montague?

Long.
Yes, the noble and much injured Montague.

Ami.
To such a man as thou art, my heart shall be
A Casket: I will lock thee up there,
And esteem thee as a faithfull friend,
The richest Jewell that a man enjoyes;
And being thou didst follow once my friend,
And in thy heart still dost, not with his fortunes casting him off,
Thou shalt goe hand in hand with me, and share
As well in my ability as love; tis not my end
To gaine men for my use, but a true friend.

Exeunt.
Enter Duboys.
Dub.
There's no such thriving way to live in grace,
As to have no sence of it; his backe nor belly
Shall not want warming that can practise me mischiefe;
I walke now with a full purse, grow high and wanton,
Prune and briske my selfe in the bright shine
Of his good Lordships favours; and for what vertue?
For fashioning my selfe a murderer.
O noble Montague, to whom I owe my heart,
With all my best thoughts, tho my tongue have promisd
To exceed the malice of thy destiny,
Never in time of all my service knew I
Such a sinne tempt thy bounty; those that did feed
Upon thy charge had merit or else need.


158

Enter Laverdine and Lapoope, with disguises.
Lav.
Duboys, most prosperously met.

Dub.
How now? will he come this way.

Lav.

This way, immediately; therefore thy assistance,
deere Duboys.


Dub.

What have you cheated him of the money you
spoke of?


Lav.

Fough, as easily as a silly Countrey wench of her
maydenhead; we had it in a twinkling.


Dub.

Tis well Captaine, let me helpe you, you must be
our leader in this action.


La-p.

Tut, feare not, Ile warrant you if my Sword
hold, we'l make no sweating sicknesse of it.


Dub.

Why that's well said, but let's retire a little, that
we may come on the more bravely; this way, this way.


Exeunt.
Enter Montague in the hands of three Officers, and three Creditors.
1 Cre.

Officers look to him, and be sure you take good
security before he part from you.


Mont.

Why but my friends, you take a strange course
with me; the sums I owe you are rather forgetfulnesse
they are so slight, then want of will or honesty to pay
you.


1 Cred.

I sir, it may be so; but we must be paid, and we
will be paid before you scape: we have wife and children,
and a charge, and you are going down the wind,
as a man may say; and therefore it behooves us to looke
to't in time.


2 Cred.

Your cloak here wo'd satisfie me, mine's not
above a three pound matter, besides the arrest.


3 Cred.

Faith and mine is much about that matter too;
your Girdle and Hangers, and your Beaver, shall be sufficient
baile for't.


1 Cred.

If you have ever a plain black sute at home, this
Silken one, with your Silke-stockings, Garters, and
Roses shall pacifie me too; for I take no delight, if I
have a sufficient pawne, to cast any Gentleman in prison;
therefore tis but an untrusting matter, and you are free,
we are no unreasonable creatures you see; for mine own
part, I protest I am loth to put you to any trouble for
security.


Mont.

Is there no more of you? he wo'd next demand
my skinne.


1 Cred.

No sir, here's no more of us, nor do any of us
demand your skin, we know not what to doe with it:
but it may be if you ow'd your Glover any money, he
knew what use to make of it.


Mont.
Ye dregs of basenesse, vultures amongst men,
That tyer upon the hearts of generous spirits.

1 Cred.

You doe us wrong sir, we tyre no generous
spirits, we tyre nothing but our hackneys.


Enter Mallicorne.
Mont.
But here comes one made of another piece;
A man well meriting that free born name
Of Citizen; welcome my deliverer, I am falne
Into the hands of blood-hounds, that for a sum
Lesser then their honesties, which is nothing,
Wo'd teare me out of my skin.

Mal.
Why sir, what's the matter?

1 Cre.

Why sir, the matter is, that we must have our
money, which if we cannot have, we'l satisfie our selves
with his carcasse, and be payd that waies: you had as
good sir not have been so peremptory. Officer, hold
fast.


1 Offi.

The strenuous fist of vengeance now is clutcht;
therefore feare nothing.


Mal.

What may be the debt in grosse?


Mont.

Some forty Crowns, nay rather not so much, tis
quickly cast.


Mal.

Tis strange to me, that your estate sho'd have so
low an ebbe, to sticke at such sleight sums: why my
friends, you are too strict in your accounts, and call too
sudden on this Gentleman, he has hopes left yet to pay
you all.


1 Cred.

Hopes? I marry bid him pay his friends with
hopes, and pay us with currant Coyne: I knew a gallant
once that fed his creditors still with hopes, and bid 'em
they sho'd feare nothing, for he had 'em tyed in a string;
and trust me so he had indeed, for at last he and all his
hopes hopt in a haltar.


Mont.

Good sir, with what speed you may free out the
company of these slaves, that have nothing but their
names to show 'em men.


Mal.

What wo'd you wish me do sir? I protest I ha' not
the present summe (small as it is) to lay down for you;
and for giving my word, my friends no latter then
yesternight made me take bread and eate it, that I sho'd
not do it for any man breathing ith' world; therefore I
pray hold me excused.


Mont.

You doe not speake this seriously?


Mal.

As ever I said my prayers, I protest to you.


Mont.

What may I think of this?


Mal.

Troth sir thought is free for any man; we abuse
our betters in it, I have done it my selfe.


Mont.

Trust me, this speech of yours doth much amaze
me, pray leave this language, and out of that same sum
you lately did receive of me, lay down as much as may
discharge me.


Mal.

You are a merry man sir, and I am glad you take
your crosses so temperately; fare you well sir, and yet I
have something more to say to ye, a word in your eare
I pray; to be plaine with you I did lay this plot to arrest
you to enjoy this money I have of yours, with the more
safety. I am a foole to tell you this now; but in good
faith I could not keepe it in. And the money wo'd a
done me little good else. An honest Citizen cannot
wholly enjoy his own wife for you, they grow old before
they have true use of them, which is a lamentable
thing, and truely much hardens the hearts of us Citizens
against you: I can say no more, but am heartily
sorry for your heavinesse, and so I take my leave.

Exit Mallycorne.

1 Cred.

Officers take hold on him againe, for Mounsier
Mallycorne will doe nothing for him I perceive.


Enter Duboys, Lapoope, and Laverdine.
Dub.

Nay come my masters, leave dauncing of the old
measures, and let's assault him bravely.


Lav.

By no means; for it goes against my stomacke to
kill a man in an unjust quarrell.


La-p.

It must needs be a clog to a mans conscience all
his life time.


Lav.

It must indeed Captaine: besides doe ye not see he
has gotten a guard of friends about him, as if he had
some knowledge of our purpose?


Dub.

Had he a guard of Devils as I think them little
better, my Sword should doe the message that it came
for.


Lav.

If you will be so desperate, the blood lie upon
your own neck, for we'l not meddle in't.
