SETTER alone.

SETTER. I shall, sir. I wonder to which of these two gentlemen I
do most properly appertain: the one uses me as his attendant; the
other (being the better acquainted with my parts) employs me as a
pimp; why, that's much the more honourable employment--by all
means. I follow one as my master, the other follows me as his
conductor.


SCENE VI.


[To him] Lucy.

LUCY. There's the hang-dog, his man--I had a power over him in the
reign of my mistress; but he is too true a VALET DE CHAMBRE not to
affect his master's faults, and consequently is revolted from his
allegiance.

SETTER. Undoubtedly 'tis impossible to be a pimp and not a man of
parts. That is without being politic, diligent, secret, wary, and
so forth--and to all this valiant as Hercules--that is, passively
valiant and actively obedient. Ah, Setter, what a treasure is here
lost for want of being known.

LUCY. Here's some villainy afoot; he's so thoughtful. May be I
may discover something in my mask. Worthy sir, a word with you.
