Roper at the Mitre in Fleet-street And are to be sold by Randal Taylor near Stationers-Hall M DC XCI TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE ALGERNOON Earl of ESSEX Viscount Malden Baron Capell of Hadham and Lord Lieutenant of the County of Hartford My Lord THE General good Character the World gives of your Honour and Virtues has embolden'd me to beg your Favourable Protection of this Comedy And though it be a hard matter for so young a Pretender to escape the industrious Ill Nature and Malice of the Town yet I shall have this satisfaction that if they 'll not allow me a Judge of Poetry they must of Persons and they cannot impartially disapprove of my choice in a Patron Indifferent Authors in most Ages have been incourag'd and preserv'd under the Clemency of the Nobility in hopes they might be better But the severity of our Wits would have the first Plays which are now written equal to the best of Ben Johnson or Shakespear And yet they do not shew that esteem for their Works which they pretend to or else are not so good Judges as they would be thought When we can see the Town throng to a Farce and Hamlet not bring Charges But notwithstanding they will be Criticks and will scarce give a man leave to mend like the rigid Precepts and manner of the most Famous Master of Westminster Who though he has bred the greatest Men of Parts and Learning in this Age yet I believe if the Impatience and Spirit of his Knowledge could have submitted to the slower Capacities of his Scholars he might have made many more Poetry I must confess has ever been my Delight as Honour and Goodness your Lordships And the I can never expect to be as perfect in the first as you are in the last I am sure of two good supports from such Excellencies and which your Lordship never omitted expressing to those who have seek'd your Protection Your early Gallantry for the Liberty and Welfare of your Country in so needful a time and where the small number of Volunteers magnifies your Lordships being one proves the Spirit of your Predecessors is left behind 'em And though this Nation has heartily mourned the loss of one of 'em Yet the death of a good Subject like that of a good King is best dispens'd with by the Publick when his Virtues shine in his Offspring I would avoid the Censure of Flattery and of tyring your Lordship with the Commendations which you justly deserve but perhaps may not desire I have only this to say that it is not to be doubted but the Spirit which has inspir'd this Noble Undertaking of waiting on your Prince will merit a Providence to preserve your Person And as you will be a Credit to his Camp may you return to be an Ornamemt to his Court And as you are the Pride of our present young Nobility may you be a Pattern for the future Then I shall wish for the fancy of Mr. Cowley with the Judgment of Mr. Dryden to express my Sence of your Worth But in the mean time I humbly entreat your Lordship would accept of the Hearty well Wishes and perfect though distant Respect Of Your Lordships most Humble Obedient and Devoted Servant WILLIAM MOUNTFORT Dramatis Personae MEN.

The right I hope I know you Madam by that vicious turn of your head and side leer Flor. Indeed Sir Y. Rev. Yes indeed Sir my Lord Madam you know what I writ in my Letter Pray unmask Ladies that my Lord may be satisfied I spoke truth for I have given ye Beautiful Characters Flor. I think an honest face need not blush tho' somewhat homely Come Sister let 'em see the worst of us lest my Lord should think us uglier than we are I think our faces are clean They unmask Y. Rev. Little Charmer L. Wor. If my Friend Madam bought his Curiosity as dearly as I shall purchase mine he 's in a languishing condition I assure you Viol. 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. The Fire that kindles quickest burns too fast What boils too fierce ne're strengthens but decays The simmering tho' slow is still the stronger L. Wor. No method sure can be allow'd in Love Prudence and passion never were ally'd The Flame which Reason rules has Interest in 't What 's rais'd by Art is still maintain'd by cunning The naked looseness of the Soul is best And that which shews most madness owns most love Viol. I find you are experienc'd in 't my Lord And are a Bowler in the Green of Love Can lie i' th' Way or hit the Heart at pleasure I am a Stranger to my Byass yet Nor is it fit my weakness should be challeng'd By one who knows the Ground and all its rubs L. Wor. The Game which I propose I 'm sure to lose at The most unknowing of your Sex in that Will quickly learn and baffle the Instructer Vio. My Lord you go too far I 'll hear no more Flor. So his Wit has made him too familiar and she has done with him What can you say now that 's pleasant and modest I know 't is a Restraint upon your Capacity to talk civilly and well But if you don 't I shall follow my Sister Y. Rev. As you say Madam Lewdness is most easie especially to those who abhor Virtuous Company but I who am naturally addicted to goodness can bear a Subject as Pious as the Priests of our times Flor. So your Vice will peep in spight of your Tiffany Virtue But d'hear talk to me of nothing but Love and manage it so that I may believe you nay honest Love too mark that Sir Y. Rev. That latter obligation is somewhat heavy Prithee let 's talk of other Love tho' we shall act none the thoughts of a Miss has oftentimes relish'd a Wife Flor. Indeed Sir is your Stomach so queasie methinks you might swallow the bitter-Pill of Matrimony when so sweet a bit as 15000 l. is to follow Y. Rev. 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. As you say when a man can't trust his Servants at home he can take but little pleasure abroad I find I shall be undone in spight of my aversion to Wedlock Well my Lord will your Fort accept of Proposals or is it stubborn against Articles L. Wor. Faith George somewhat Peremptory and much upon Resistance Flor. Why my Lord I thought you Travellers had the Knack of taking Hearts L. Wor. I had of keeping one 'till I saw your Sister Madam Vio I desire Consideration my Lord the surrender's of consequence it being the inlet to my Eternal Peace or Disquiet Flor. Ay ay give her time my Lord as much as she will the more you offer the less she 'l accept so much I know of my Sex Vio. Thank you Sister but men are not so scarce that we need run mad for ' em L. Wor. But you may if the War continues for ought I know you 'l wish you had taken a whole Man hereafter if the Prophecy comes to pass you 'l be very indifferently fed when one Man is a mess for 7 of you Vio. 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. Jealousie 's a Sign of Love Child I am glad to see it Why Faith 't was a likely Soul and a Woman of Sence for she rail'd at Matrimony damnably L. Wor. Well George I as much envy thy Happiness as I mistrust my own my Lady has no pity Vio. As much as you care for my Lord or becomes me You have Rallied enough now I suppose which was the utmost end of your Conversation Do I colour Sister Flor. A little guilty about the Eyes Y. Rev. Come Ladies will you honour us so far as to play at Cards with you this Evening my old Fellow 's with your Mother and we 'll pretend a visit to her I have often talk'd to my Lady of my Lord and she 'll be Proud of a Noble-man for her Son-in-Law tho' you are so indifferent to him for a Husband Vio.
