Valen. Sir, you are welcome what so ere you be; I guesse your birth great by your bounteous fee.

Duke. Your humble servant, bound by a sweet kisse.

Valen. I give you freedome, gentle Sir, by this. [He whispers her. I know your mind; first censure of the sport, Then you and I will enter Venus Court.

Duke. More then immortall, O more then divine, That such perfection, should turne Concubine.

Mon. That voice is like unto the Saxon Dukes. I feare he hath heard I liv'd here in this place, And he is come to doe me more disgrace. Montano, hide thyself till he be gone; His daughter thirsts for my destruction. [Exit Mont.

Val. Come sit by me, the Maskers are at hand.

Enter Maske.

Where are my Maides, to helpe to make the dance?

_Enter 2 Maids.

They dance, Valentia with them; they whisper to have her play at dice and stake on the drum_.
