Mont. I have found you still as uncorupted as I left you first
Continue so; and I will serve you with
As much devotion as my word, my hand
Or purse can show you; and to justifie
That promise, here is half the wealth I have,
Take it, you owe me nothing, till you fall
From virtue, which the better to protect
I have bethought me of a present means:
Give me the Letter; this commends my Boy
Into the service of a Lady, whose
Free goodness you have bin acquainted with, Lamira.
Lady. Sir I know her.
Mont. Then believe her entertainment will be noble to you;
My boy shall bring you thither: and relate
Your manner of misfortune if your own
Report needs any witness: so I kiss your hand good Lady.
Lady. Sir, I know not how to promise, but I cannot be unthankfull.
Mont. All that you can implore in thankfulness
Be yours, to make you the more prosperous.
Farwell my boy,—I am not yet oppress'd. [Exit Lady Vere.
Having the power to helpe one that's distress'd. [Exeunt.
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.
