O sprightly father, he’ll outreach you then;

Knaves longer reaches have than honest men.

Jer. But, boy, fear not, I will outstretch them all,

My mind’s a giant, though my bulk be small.[297]

[Exeunt.

Enter the King of Portugal, Balthezar, Alexandro, Don Vollupo, and others: a Peal of Ordnance; within, a great shout of People.

King. What is the meaning of this loud report?

Alex. An embassy, my lord, is new arrived from Spain.

King. Son Balthezar, we pray, do you go meet him,

And do him all the honour that belongs him.
