Scene 4.

A Summer-house in a Garden.
Enter Don Manuel alone.
Man.
In this close Summer-house, I keep my State,
And like a Prince, dispose of others Fate.
My General stout Mingo takes the care
To manage my Affairs of Peace, and War:
If any danger springs, from blood that's spilt,
I shall the profit reap, and he the guilt.

Enter Leonella with a Cabinet.
Leon.
What mutt'ring voice is that which strikes my Ear?
O my unhappy Fate! Don Manuel here!


61

Man.
Is your bus'ness to me Lady? Let's see,
What have you here? pray spare your modesty;
This is too troublesome for you to bear,
Deliver up your Charge, and walk in here.

Exeunt Manuel and Leonella.
Enter Teresa with a Pistol in one hand, and a Dagger in t'other.
Ter.
Are you so nimble? are your Bloods so hot?
Here's Coolers for you—These will marr your Plot.
O my dear Mingo! that thou could'st but see,
What dangers I despise to merit thee.

Exit Teresa after Man. and Leon.
