_Friend_. Or let me perish, flying from a single Enemy. I am a Gentleman, and may pretend to love you; And what you can command, I can perform. _Dia_. Take heed, Sir, what you say, for I'm in earnest. _Friend_. Command me any thing that's just and brave; And, by my Eyes, 'tis done. _Dia_. I know not what you call just or brave; But those whom I do the Honour to command, Must not capitulate. _Friend_. Let him be blasted with the Name of Coward, That dares dispute your Orders. _Dia_. Dare you fight for me? _Friend_. With a whole Army; 'tis my Trade to fight. _Dia_. Nay, 'tis but a single Man. _Friend_. Name him. _Dia_. _Bellmour_. _Friend_. Of _Yorkshire_? Companion to young _Friendlove_, that came lately from _Italy_? |
