ACT I.SCENE I.
SCENE, the Terriera de Passa in Lisbon.
Enter Don Lopez, and Don Perriera.
Don Per. Why, Brother, you are distracted; how often have you fill'd my Brain with these Chimeras? Why shou'd I murder my Wife without a Cause?
Don Lop. A Cause! Does a Cuckold want a Cause?
Don Per. Look ye, Senior, keep that Word Cuckold between your Teeth, 'till you can prove me such, or by St. Anthony you shall feel what Mettle my Spado is made of.
[Laying his Hand to his Sword.
Don Lop. Name your Spado again, and I'll shake thee into Dust, thou feeble Dotard. Your Spado! Employ it against the Man that robs you of your Honour, and not against him that wou'd preserve it. I say, my Sister, your Wife, is a Strumpet, the Strumpet of a damn'd Heretick: I saw the Looks, nay the Signs, she gave some of the English Officers, as she came from Church this Morning.
Don Per. English Officers!
Don Lop. English I'm sure they were, I can't swear they were all Officers, nor cou'd I perceive which she signed to, or he shou'd not live to meet her Wishes.—Now, if you don't like the Name of Cuckold, find another for the Husband of a Whore, if you can.—For my Part, I know of none, but this I know, if you won't punish her as a Wife, I will as a Sister; she shall not stain the Honour of my House this Way; she injur'd it too much in marrying you. I shall pursue my own Method, and so farewel. [Going.]
Don Per. So, there's the Blessing of matching into an honourable Family: now must I bear all Affronts patiently, because I am but a Merchant, forsooth.——Oh, give me any Curse but this——Pray, Senior, give me Leave to speak one Word to you: I am convinced of my too much Indulgence for this very Cockatrice, and there remains nothing to quicken my Revenge, but certain Demonstration.
Don Lop. Certain Demonstration! must you have ocular Proof? Must your Coward Heart be animated with the Sight? A Curse of your Equivocations.——
Don Per. No, any other Sense will serve; let me hear 'em, feel 'em, nay smell 'em, and sure Cuckoldom is so rank a Scent, that tho' I lived in England, where they scarce breathe any other Air, I cou'd distinguish it.
Don Lop. Now you talk like a Portuguese; keep up this Passion, and secure the Honour of your House and mine, and deserve the Alliance of my Blood; it shall be my Care to fix them.
[Exit.
Don Per. And when they are so, mine to execute.
[Exit.
Enter Charles meeting Colonel Ravelin.
Cha. Colonel Ravelin!
Rav. Charles Gripe! honest Charles, how dost thou do, Boy? Why, what brought thee to Lisbon?
Cha. Part of the Cause that brought you, Colonel.
Rav. What? art thou in the Army?
Cha. No, Colonel, I leave Honour to you. Interest brought me.
Rav. They are Twin-Brothers, Charles; if Interest did not drive, Honour wou'd come slowly on: Art thou turn'd Merchant then?
Cha. No, Faith, not I; but it pleased Heaven to take my Wife's Father out of the Way, who left me Executor, and his Concerns here oblig'd me to take this Voyage.
Rav. So then, old Sir Jealous Traffick is dead at last. How long do you intend to stay?
Cha. Longer than I expected when I embark'd: I came away in such a Hurry, the Ship sailing sooner than I thought she would, I forgot to put up some Papers, without which I can't adjust my Accounts with some Merchants here; I have writ to my Wife to send them.
Rav. That was very unlucky; prithee, how dost thou spend thy Time?
Cha. Very insipidly: How do you pass yours? what Company have you here?
Rav. All Sorts; the Women, I'll say that for 'em, are kind enough, and won't put you to the Expence of swearing and lying to gain them: But I have got acquainted in a French Family, which are not altogether so dangerous one way, but much more so another.
Cha. Ay! how's that, Colonel?
Rav. Why I'm fearful of dwindling into an honourable Amour there. This French Woman has found the way to unite my jarring Inclinations, and tune 'em to the Pitch of Constancy, and I am very apprehensive of becoming that tame Monster,
