1020Souldier. My Lord, watching this night in the campe,
1021We tooke this man, and know not what he is:
1022And in his companie was a gallant dame,
1024But that her face was maskte we could not see
1025The grace and fauour of her countenance.
1026Demarch. Tell me good fellow of whence and what thou art.
