SCENE I. James Tyrconnel Herbert Hall the Priest K. James leaning his Arm upon a Table and resting his Head upon his Knuckles IT was observ'd that when I was first crown'd in this Kingdom of Ireland my Crown stood like the Steeple of the Duomo at Pisa awry upon my Head which way soever Men lookt upon me Was that a good Sign Hall or No Hall I suppose it lean'd toward England Sir and then 't was a good sign I long to be preaching again in your Chappel at White hall James By the Mass and so do I too to hear thee there But when I first turn'd Roman-Catholick I was promis'd Mountains of Gold Where are those Mountains Hall Despair not Sir I make no Question but rather than you shall want that Heaven will rain Gold for as many days together as it rain'd in the Time of the Flood James I good Sooth Father Hall I should be glad to see that day come I have no Faith in Miracles Hall I am sorry to hear you say so Sir K. James Why so Hall Oh Sir If you would but trust in the Queen of Heaven I dare be bold to say she would send you her own Life-Guard to fight without Pay which would be the same thing as if she should Coin half the Stars in the Firmament to make Money for you James In the mean time what good News my Lords How go Affairs in England Herbert To your wish Sir The clos'd Parties are all to pieces again Whigs and Tories once more at Daggers drawing and contending for Mayors and Sheriffs and Common Council-Men as much as ever SCENE II. Herbert Tyrconnel D'Avaux Berwick James James I know I have a good Party there but still my Brother of France D'Avaux Hold Sir I am my Master's Representative in this place and must not brook this Language My Brother of France James Why Sir I am a Crown'd Head D'Avaux That 's nothing Sir you are but his Viceroy in this Kingdom consequently none of his Brother My Master 's too Jealous of his Honour to call his Inferiour Brother Tyrconnel By St. Patrick y' are a Proud French-man D'Avaux By St. Denis y' are a Beggarly Teague Barwick Sir the King is my Father and my Father is the King of Frances Brother D'Avaux Princock you are too Sawcy Then turning to K. James Sir I demand Reparation for these Affronts James My Lord I 'm sorry for th' occasion I know indeed the Barons of my Exchequer at London may call Baron Tell-clock Brother but Baron Tell-clock must not call any of them Brothers Y' are in the Right my Lord D'Avaux I am but a King-Tell-clock in the World at present But pass it over I 'll undertake my Wife shall make all well again SCENE III. D'Avaux Lausun D'Avaux Morthleu A Prince of no-No-land call my Master Brother Lausun Truly my Lord I think 't was by you ill tim'd for you know our Master pretends to assist him as still King of Great Brittain and therefore I don't believe he would have disown'd the Expression as yet had it been spoken to his Face D'Avaux But I know as well how our Master intends to Fool him how he only makes a Tool of him but despises him in his Heart Lausun That 's nothing what a Party would our Master loose both in England and Scotland and perhaps in this Kingdom too should he pretend to set up for himself D'Avaux To tell you truth I think our Master does ill to spend so much Money Time and so many Men upon him For i' my Conscience 't will all come to nothing Lausun I am in a fine case then to sell so fair an Estate as I have done to follow his Fortune D'Avaux Why look ye Sir Where Prudence and Courage are wanting there can never be a Prospect of Success Lausun What must we do then D'Avaux Make haste while the Sun shines Plunder and repay your self there be good Gleanings still left Never pity the People they 're a sort of Miscreants not worth hanging I have taken that course with the King as to make him seize all his Protestant Subjects Goods by Armed Force and then having set a Price upon them at his own Pleasure which he only pays in his own Copper Money to export them to our Master his Dear Correspondent in France Lausun You are a Faithful and Politick Minister I must confess D'Avaux Tann'd Hides Raw Hides Wooll Tallow and Butter are all Commodities which my Master wants and how much of this sort of Merchandize I have got the King to Ship off into France this year 1689 d'ye think Lausun I cannot tell my Lord. D'Avaux Begar my Lord no less than Thirty three thousand four hundred fifty eight Hides Tann'd and Raw Sixty one thousand four hundred and five Stone of Wooll three hundred
