Well. Have you dispatch’d the Scouts, to watch the Motions of the Enemies? I know that Bacon is violent and haughty, and will resent our vain Attempts upon him; therefore we must be speedy in prevention.
Down. What Forces have you raised since our last order?
Booz. Here’s a List of ’em, they came but slowly in, till we promised every one a Bottle of Brandy.
Enter Officer and Dunce.
Offi. We have brought Mr. Dunce here, as your Honour commanded us; after strict search we found him this Morning in bed with Madam Flirt.
Down. No matter, he’ll exclaim no less against the Vices of the Flesh the next Sunday.
Dun. I hope, Sir, you will not credit the Malice of my Enemies.
Well. No more, you are free, and what you counsell’d about the Ambush, was both prudent and seasonable, and perhaps I now wish it had taken effect.
Enter Friendly and Hazard.
Friend. I have brought an English Gentleman to kiss your Hands, Sir, and offer you his Service, he is young and brave, and Kinsman to Colonel Surelove.
