SCENE II.--_In front of the Castle Tavern_.

_Enter_ Spencer _and_ Captain Goodlack.

Goodlack. What, to the old house still?

Spencer. Canst blame me, captain? Believe me, I was never surprised till now, Or catched upon the sudden.

Goodlack. Pray resolve me; Why, being a gentleman of fortunes, means, And well revenued, will you adventure thus A doubtful voyage, when only such as I, Born to no other fortunes than my sword, Should seek abroad for pillage?

Spencer. Pillage, captain! No, ’tis for honour; and the brave society Of all these shining gallants, that attend The great lord-general, drew me hither first, No hope of gain or spoil.

Goodlack. Ay, but what draws you to this house so oft?

Spencer. As if thou knew’st it not.

Goodlack. What, Bess?

Spencer. Even she.

Goodlack. Come, I must tell you, you forget yourself, One of your birth and breeding thus to dote Upon a tanner’s daughter! why, her father Sold hides in Somersetshire, and, being trade-fallen, Sent her to service.

Spencer. Prithee speak no more; Thou tell’st me that which I would fain forget, Or wish I had not known. If thou wilt humour me, Tell me she’s fair and honest.

Goodlack. Yes, and loves you.

Spencer. To forget that were to exclude the rest: All saving that were nothing. Come, let’s enter.

[_Exeunt_.
