Wor. What are all the famous Houses about Covent-Garden and Charing-Cross abolished Y. Rev. Faith my Lord they are mightily degenerated since Strephon the wise the witty and the gay and the Prince of all Company as well as all hearts forsook us Those that are left of that glorious Society are retired from the world and mourn the remembrance of their lost Companions that Wit and good fellows are as hard to be found as Conscience in a Jury or Honesty in a Guardian L. Wor. Well since those Golden Days cannot be call'd again we must make the best of our present Insufficiency and be as happy as we can tho' not to such perfection For to tell thee truth George we have a very indifferent Character abroad and the respect to an English man is lessen'd extreamly our understanding is become a jest by our not knowing what we wou'd have and the next Age must play the Fool within its own bounds for as the Gent. Usher says in the Rehearsal for Politicians no body else will take us Y. Rev.

Soft and fair my Lord you are an Artist I find that can love as Fidlers play at first sight L. Wor. Love as it 's unaccountable is irresistable There must be a beginning why not now A Laziness in liking is insipid Nor would you prize the lightning of your Eyes If it were slow in giving us the Wound That Flint is best that fires at first stroak Such fierce born Sparks if they not take effect Proves that which should receive 'em is in fault And makes the Striker peevish Viol.

Faith Child I bear a Conscience and had rather serve thee for nothing than take so unreasonable a price for my Labour Flor. Truth is I don't know whether you 'll deserve it and I think I had better keep my money than run the hazard of so uncertain a purchase Y. Rev. Pox on 't thou hast too much Wit for a Wife besides I suppose you have such a Villainous Constitution as to expect me all to your self Flor. I leave that to your own discretion but if you should play me foul may you only think at the same time I am serving you the same fauce and go on as well as you can Y. Rev.

Methinks you young Gentlemen Mr. Reveller should go and serve your Country 't is a shame to make Love when there 's Honour in view Y. Rev. Thank you Madam but if you could perswade my Father to go in my Room you would much more oblige me Vio. He 's old Y. Rev. The fitter to be knock'd on the head Young Fellows get the King Souldiers Drones that have lost their Stings are useless L. Wor. I find these Ladies would be Courted like those in Romances we must kill Monsters for ' em Y. Rev. Thank Heav'n we are not so hard put to 't as the Romans were with the Sabines we need not fight for Women in this Age. Flor. Not if all be so free as the Lady in the Mask was yesterday Morning at the Wells Mr. Reveller Y. Rev.
