Sil. Madam, the Cavalier’s in view again, and hot in the pursuit.
Lau. Let’s haste away then; and, Silvio, do you lag behind, ‘twill give him an opportunity of enquiring, whilst I get out of sight.—Be sure you conceal my Name and Quality, and tell him—any thing but truth—tell him I am La Silvianetta, the young Roman Curtezan, or what you please to hide me from his knowledge.
[Exeunt Lau. and Ant.
Enter Julio and Page in pursuit.
Jul. Boy, fall you into discourse with that Page, and learn his Lady’s Name—whilst I pursue her farther. [Ex. Jul.
[Page salutes Silvio, who returns it; they go out as talking to each other.
Enter Sir Harry Fillamour and Galliard.
Fil. He follows her close, whoe’er they be: I see this trade of Love goes forward still.
Gal. And will whilst there’s difference in Sexes. But, Harry, the Women, the delicate Women I was speaking of?
Fil. Prithee tell me no more of thy fine Women, Frank; thou hast not been in Rome above a Month, and thou’ast been a dozen times in love, as thou call’s! it; to me there is no pleasure like Constancy.
