Enter WILLMORE

WILLMORE Ha! Dear Belvile! Noble colonel!

BELVILE Willmore! Welcome ashore, my dear rover! What happy wind blew us this good fortune?

WILLMORE Let me salute my dear Fred, and then command me. How is’t, honest lad?

FREDERICK Faith, sir, the old complement, infinitely the better to see my dear mad Willmore again. Prithee, why cam’st thou ashore? And where’s the prince?

WILLMORE He’s well, and reigns still lord of the watery element. I must aboard again within a day or two, and my business ashore was only to enjoy myself a little this carnival.

BELVILE Pray know our new friend, sir; he’s but bashful, a raw traveller, but honest, stout, and one of us.

[embraces BLUNT]

WILLMORE That you esteem him gives him an interest here. BLUNT Your servant, sir.

WILLMORE But well—faith, I’m glad to meet you again in a warm climate, where the kind sun has its god-like power still over the wine and women. Love and mirth are my business in Naples, and if I mistake not the place, here’s an excellent market for chapmen of my humour.

BELVILE See, here be those kind merchants of love you look for.
