Scene 23.

Enter two Souldiers.

1. SOuldier.

What is this boy that our General is so taken with.

2. Souldier,

A poor Begger-boy!

1. Souldier.

Can a poor Begger-boy merit his affections?

2. Souldier.

He is a pretty boy, and waites very diligently.

1. Souldier.

So doth other boys, as well as he, but I believe he is a young Pimp, and carries, and conveys Love-letters.

2. Souldier.

Like enough to, for boys are strangely crafty in those imployments, and so industrious, as they will let no times nor opportunities slip them, but they will find waies to deliver their Letters and messages.

Exeunt.
