When I would sleep, I cannot do't for you, My Eyes and Fancy do that form pursue; And when I sleep, you revel in my Dreams, And all my Life is nothing but extremes. When I would tell my love, I seem most rude, For that informs me how I am subdu'd. Fal. Why, what the Devil has possest Alcander? Oli. How like you this, Aminta? Am. Better and better, he's a wondrous man. Fal.
You shall command me any thing. Oli. Pray Heaven you keep your word. Am. That sad tone of thine, Olinda, has almost Made me repent of my promise; but come, what is't? Oli. My Brother, Madam. Am. Oli. Stay, Madam, he dies for you. Am. He cannot do't for any Woman living; But well it seems he speaks of Love to you; To me he does appear a very Statue. Oli.
Cortes had obtained the concurrence of many of the officers and companions in a scheme for appointing him to the independent command of the expedition, among whom were Puertocarrero, the Alvarados, De Oli, Escalente, De Lugo, and myself; but this was suspected by Montejo, who closely watched all our proceedings.
Time will convince her of that foolish error, Of thinking a brisk young Husband a torment. Gal. What young Husband? Am. The General, Madam. Gal. Why, dost thou think she will consent to it? Am. Madam, I cannot tell, the World's inconstant. Gal. Ay, Aminta, in every thing but Love; And sure they cannot be in that: What say'st thou, Olinda? Oli. Madam, my Judgment's naught.

My driver clapped his hands together lightly, as though Monsieur Perrier's bubble needed very little pressure to disperse it. "Good heavens!" I exclaimed, "but what became of Oli of the young English lady, and the child?" "Ah, m'sieur!" he said, "I do not know. I do not live in Noireau, but I pass to and fro from Falaise in La Petite Vitesse. She has not returned in my omnibus, that is all I know.
Madam, your heart is strangely fortified That can resist th'efforts I have made against it, And bring to boot such marks of valour too. Enter to them Alcander, who seeing them would turn back, but Olinda stays him. Oli. Brother, come back. Fal. Advance, advance, what, Man, afraid of me? Alcan. Fal. Alcan. That's most proper for your Wit, Falatius. Am. Why so angry? Alcan. Away, thou art deceiv'd.
Hang Love, for I will never pine For any Man alive; Nor shall this jolly Heart of mine The thoughts of it receive; I will not purchase Slavery At such a dangerous rate; But glory in my Liberty, And laugh at Love and Fate. Oli. You'll kill him by this cruelty. Am. What is't thou call'st so?
Phi. Though Hope be faithless, yet I cannot chuse, Coming from thee, but credit the abuse. Gal. Philander, do not your Hope's power distrust, 'Tis time enough to die, when that's unjust. SCENE II. The Court Gallery. Enter Aminta as passing over the Stage, is stayed by Olinda. Oli. Why so hasty, Aminta? Am. The time requires it, Olinda. Oli. But I have an humble suit to you. Am.
By Jove, if she be your Cousin, Madam, I love her much the better for't. Am. I am beholding to you, But then it seems I have lost a Lover of you. Cle. Confess she has, or I'll so handle you. Labree.
