_Fisc._ Your wife comes, take it in whisper. [_They whisper._

_Jul._ Yonder is my master, and my Dutch servant; how lovingly they
talk in private! if I did not know my Don's temper to be monstrously
jealous, I should think, they were driving a secret bargain for my
body; but _cuerpo_ is not to be digested by my Castilian. _Mi Moher_,
my wife, and my mistress! he lays the emphasis on me, as if to cuckold
him were a worse sin, than breaking the commandment. If my English
lover, Beamont, my Dutch love, the Fiscal, and my Spanish husband,
were painted in a piece, with me amongst them, they would make a
pretty emblem of the two nations that cuckold his Catholic majesty in
his Indies.

_Fisc._ You will undertake it then?

_Per._ I have served under Towerson as his lieutenant, served him
well, and, though I say it, bravely; yet never have been rewarded,
though he promised largely; 'tis resolved, I'll do it.

_Fisc._ And swear secresy?

_Per._ By this beard.

_Fisc._ Go wait upon the governor from me, confer with him about it in
my name, this seal will give you credit. [_Gives him his seal._

_Per._ I go. [_Goes a step or two, while the other approaches his
wife._] What shall I be, before I come again? [_Exit._
