Pala. Let's lead him to some place, where he may refresh himself.
Rho. Do you conduct him then.
Pala. [Aside.] How cross this happens to my design of going to Doralice! for I am confident she was sick on purpose that I should visit her. Hark you, Rhodophil, could not you take care of the stripling? I am partly engaged to-night.
Rho. You know I have business; but come, youth, if it must be so.
Dor. to Rho. No, good sir, do not give yourself that trouble; I shall be safer, and better pleased with your friend here.
Rho. Farewell, then; once more I wish you a good adventure.
Pala. Damn this kindness! now must I be troubled with this young rogue, and miss my opportunity with Doralice.
[Exit Rho. alone; Pala. with Dor.
SCENE III.
Enter Polydamus.
Poly. Argaleon counselled well to banish him:
He has, I know not what,
Of greatness in his looks, and of high fate,
That almost awes me; but I fear my daughter,
Who hourly moves me for him; and I marked,
She sighed when I but named Argaleon to her.
But see, the maskers: Hence, my cares, this night!
At least take truce, and find me on my pillow.
