Have a care of your
Persons of Quality, Ned. [Goes to La Nuche. -Those lovely Eyes were
never made to throw their Darts in vain. La Nu. The Conquest would be
hardly worth the Pain. Will. Hah, La Nuche! with what a proud Disdain
she flung away- stay, I will not part so with you- [Holds her. Enter
Ariadne and Lucia with Footmen. Aria. Who are these before us, Lucia?
Luc. I know not, Madam; but if you make not haste home, you'll be
troubled with Carlo your importunate Lover, who is just behind us.
Aria. Hang me, a lovely Man! what Lady's that? stay. Pet. What
Insolence is this! This Villain will spoil all- Feth. Why, Captain,
are you quite distracted?- dost know where thou art? Prithee be civil-
Will. Go, proud and cruel! [Turns her from him. Enter Carlo, and two
or three Spanish Servants following: Petronella goes to him. Car. Hah,
affronted by a drunken Islander, a saucy Tramontane!- Draw- [To his
Servants whilst he takes La Nuche. whilst I lead her off- fear not,
Lady, you have the Honour of my Sword to guard ye. Will. Hah, Carlo-
ye lye- it cannot guard the boasting Fool that wears it- be gone- and
look not back upon this Woman. [Snatches her from him] One single
Glance destroys thee- [They draw and fight; Carlo getting hindmost of
his Spaniards, the English beat 'em off.
