_Fisc._ It shall be told into her hand, or given her upon honour, in a
lump: but, captain, you were saying you did want; now I should think
three hundred doubloons would do you no great harm; they will serve to
make you merry on the watch.

_Per._ Must they be told into my wife's hand, too?

_Fisc._ No, those you may receive yourself, if you dare merit them.

_Per._ I am a Spaniard, sir; that implies honour: I dare all that is
possible.

_Fisc._ Then you dare kill a man.

_Per._ So it be fairly.

_Fisc._ But what if he will not be so civil to be killed that way? He
is a sturdy fellow, I know you stout, and do not question your valour;
but I would make sure work, and not endanger you, who are my friend.

_Per._ I fear the governor will execute me.

_Fisc._ The governor will thank you; 'Tis he shall be your pay-master;
you shall have your pardon drawn up beforehand; and remember, no
transitory sum, three hundred quadruples in your own country gold.

_Per._ Well, name your man.

_Enter_ JULIA.
