Fla. Did you call, Asteria?
Ast. The queen has business with Prince Lysimantes; Speak to any gentleman in the court, to fetch him. [Exit ASTERIA from above.

Celadon! what makes he here?
Enter CELADON, OLINDA, and SABINA; they walk over the stage together, he seeming to court them.
Olind. Nay, sweet Celadon—

Fla. O ho! I see his business now; 'tis with Melissa's two daughters: Look, look, how he peeps about, to see if the coast be clear; like an hawk that will not plume, if she be looked on.
[Exeunt CEL. OLIND. and SAB.
