Toby By her Witt I did not judge she had so good a Face for Wit and Beauty seldome go together in a Woman She has a large stock of both and I cou'd wish my self in Bed with her but the Thoughts of her are Momentary I 'le keep my Soul free as the Bird that flyes i' th Aire I 'le ne'r love one till I of all besides Despair Exeunt The Second Act. Enter Lovell and Toby Beatrice meeting e'm Beat. MOst luckily met I am sent Embassadress of good News and was just coming Lov.

Be gone Baggage Speak not a Word more for your Life Beat. What a Vengeance ayles you both Well I 'le go informe my Mistress how Sqâ—â—res go Exeunt Lov. Thus to treat a Lover and one that was the most passionate and most faithful of all Lovers Tob. T is strange to me they should treat us so Lov. I have show'd the greatest Love and Tenderness for her that can be imagin'd I lov'd Nothing in the World but her Thought of Nothing but her and Sleeping dream't of Nothing but her She was all my Desire all my Joy I spoke not of anything but her And is such a Love thus Rewarded These three Dayes I have not seen her seem'd so many Ages for me And am I in three Dayes forsaken and forgotten I meet her and she will not speak to me not look at me but shun me as a Thing she hates Tob. Ah Sir I may say the same for Beatrice will follow her Mistress Honey or T as she is Lov. Can Iacinta be match'd for Ingratitude Tob. Or that Baggage Beatrice Lov. To forsake me after so many Sighs and Vows which I have offer'd to her Charmes Tob. To leave me after so many good Offices and daily Services I have done for Her Lov. After so many Tears shed at her Feet Tob. After so many Payles of Water lugg'd up Stairs for her to wash her Roomes Lov. After I had express'd so Ardent an Affection and so gen'rous a Flame for her Tob. After I have so often kindl'd a Fire for her in her Mistress Chamber and Scortch'd my self with taking her Heaters for her out of the Fire Lov. Does she after all this refuse to speak to Me Tob. Does she for all this turn Cat in Pan Lov. And flie from my sight Tob. And turn her Back-side with a Pox to me Lov. Her Unkindness deserves my severest Resentments Tob. Her Pettishness merits a hundred Kicks i' th Breech Lov. I charge thee never speak to me of her nor for her Tob. I Sir not I by Grandsires Beard Lov. Never attempt to excuse her Infiedlity Tob. Never fear 't Lov. I 'le be Deaf to all you can say in her behalf Tob. I think not any thing of 't Lov. I will cherish my Anger and break off all Intimacy with her Tob. Agreed And I 'le break off my Intreigue Lov. Perhaps she 's taken with this Foolish Lord and puff'd up with Hopes of being a Lady Ambition is the Vice of her Sex but she shall not boast an absolute Glory for I 'le Abandon her as she does me Tob. I much approve your Resolution Lov. Do thou lend it Aide against all that Love can urge to the Contrary I conjure thee find all the Faults in her thou can'st and Lampoon her to me in a Description Tob. Shaw waugh You may find a thousand prettier Women than she In the first place her Hair inclines to Yellow Lov. That 's but the Lustr'e of her Hair Tob. Her Forehead 's low Lov. But smooth and Delicate Tob. Her Nose is too bigg Lov. But well shap'd Tob. When she speaks she draws her Mouth from Ear to Ear. Lov. Which discovers such a fine Sett of Teeth so white and even and her Lipps so red Tob. And keeps her Teeth close which makes such a Jarring in her Speech Lov. That breaks the fulness of the Voyce and makes a pretty kind of Harmony Tob. Her Face is a White clumsey big-face Lov. But every Feature is so excellent the greatest Crittick in Beauty knows not where to take away or what to add Tob. Then she has a peaking way of holding down her Head Lov. But at the same time appear such a pattern of Modesty and Innocence Tob. Her Breasts are too bigg Lov. But are firm and white and such delicate blew Veyns Their Bigness seems Graceful Tob. She 's Lanck Buttock'd Lov. Finely turn'd about the Hipps Tob. Her Stature is low Lov. Augâ—â—l of a fine middle Size not so Tall to or'e â—â—p a Man nor so Low as to be or'e-look'd Tob. She 's of too dull and serious a Humour Lov. That which you call Dulness is her Modesty and her Seriousness is the Effect of her Sage discreet Behaviour Tob. But she 's very pettish Lov. Which shews she has a Spirit But in the Fair nothing seems amiss and in them we easily pass o're small Faults Tob. Lord Sir She 's a Book without an Errata never did such a perfect Impression come from the Press of Nature I see how things will go Whom we excuse we Love Lov. Love her I 'le rather Die I 'le more disesteem her than ever I priz'd her Tob. This is not the right course you take Lov. In this my Revenge will shew it self the more full of Charms she appears the more Glorious will the Conquest be When from my Heart I drive the Sentiments of Love and plant in their Room Contempt and Disdaine Enter Jacinta and Beatrice Tob. Here she comes now stand your Ground Beat. His behaviour Madam was such I have nothing to say in his Excuse Iacin. He 's here Lov. I 'le not so much as speak to her Tob.

Wou'd I was as handsome as my Cozen. D. Boast You are Lady Hil. And as good a Fortune too D. Boast Your Fortune is large your Uncle tells me Hil. But not answerable to hers I wou'd it was D. Boast Repine not Fair one Hil. Hi ho D. Boast Pray why sigh you so Hil. I wish my Lord. D. Boast What pretty one Hil. That you had never seen my Cozen. D. Boast Why Hil. Because I think she'â— love you D. Boast And I 'le love her Hil. But I wish you 'd love some body else All Muchw. Jacinta D. Boast And why do you wish it Hil. Because a Friend of mine loves you D. Boast You mock me Ha ha ha Hil. No my Lord 't is too true That you may know I do not I cou'd tell you of more than one that loves you passionately D. Boast I must confess it has been my Fortune to be belov'd by considerable Persons in all places where-ever I have travell'd At Rome the Pope's Neice fell in Love with me and sent me her Picture richly set in Jewels In Tuscany the Grand Duke's Sister I cou'd tell you something of an Intrigue with the Sultana when I was at Constantinople but it is something incredible Hil. Nay I have reason to believe it for no Woman sees you without some concern even in this very Street lyes a young Lady that has Forty thousand Pounds to her Portion and she but saw you pass along the Street once or twice as you came hither and is falne in Love with you And hearing of your pretensions here is since falne sick and has kept her Bed these two ' dayes D. Boast I protest I am sorry but is she so great a Fortune Hil. My Uncle knows her and all her Concerns as to those things D. Boast Humh Hil. I cou'd tell you of some body else too But 't is not convenient D. Boast That 's her self this may be worth enquiry Enter Muchworth Muchw. My Lord my Lawyer 's within if you please we will look o're some Particulars of your Estate that we may forward the Settlement of a Joynter for my Daughter D. Boast I have some reason to think she and I may not disagree Your Servant Lady Ex. Muchw. D. Boast Enter Jacinta Iac. I had not return'd to you but that I saw my Father come this way Hil. You miss'd the Relation of his forreign Amours But I have perswaded his Lordship that you and I are in love with him and that a great Fortune has kept her Bed this two dayes hearing he pretends to you Iac. And is sick for love of him Hil. Yes he believes it Iac. He 's a most credulous Coxcomb But should he find you out to be a Lyar. Hil. Not a greater than himself he cannot I am sure Iac. How can'st thou in Conscience make such a Fool of him Hil. Heav'n ordain'd every thing for some use or another and he can serve for no other than our Pastime Enter Careless Carel. Ha! these are they Iac. Here comes Mr. Lovell's Friend Carel. Now which of e'm is she that I am in love with Iac. He 's at a stand Hil. He 'd fain know me agen but prithee take up a Brisk Humor and let 's try to puzzle him Iac. No! Prithee let 's go in Carel. What are you upon this Wing Do you come out a Grazing like Rabbets just at the Burrows mouth that as soon as any body comes you may pop into your Holes agen Hil. We had need be watchful when such Pochers as you are abroad Carel. Your watchfulness signifies little I come now like a Ferret to creep into your Holes and scare you out of your Burrows Iac. But if instead of a Burrow you shou'd run into a Warreners Trap. Hil. And that you may easily do for we are no Out-lying Conies we keep within Heart of the Warren Carel. I but I know your Musees your In-lets and Out-lets and where-ever the Rabbets pass the Ferret or Weezel may venture You see I come just to the same place 't was here you pop't in from me before but now I am got between you and the Hedge Iac. But how do you know that we are the same Pair Hil. And which of us is it that was too nimble for you Iac. You had best have a care on which you adventure for in such cases you ought not to spoyl your Friend's Game Carel. 'T is one of you Hil. I see you are no good Hound You can't follow the Scent well Carel. Many a good-Nos'd Dog is at a loss when Scent is cross'd but if I catch one and my Friend another if we are mistaken let him say which is his and wee 'l make a change Iac. But which of us two do you think wou'd fall to your share Carel. I' Gad I do'nt know Hil. Do'nt you know a woman's Face when you see 't a second time Carel. She show'd it with-such a Leger-De-Maine her Masque was no sooner off than on agen and she was gone Pass Iac. Observe us well Carel. Let me see Faith not I If you had your Masques on I should know her from a thousand at the very sight of her Vizard my Heart wou'd go Pitty-pat Hil. If you are so in Love with the complexion of Velvet you shou'd have a Nâ—gra for your Mistress Carel. There is Beauty in Black Why else do Ladies put 〈◊〉 Patches And some love Black-hair better than Light and 〈◊〉 why not Black â—aces as well Iac. But you 'd be for a White one at this time if you knew but which was under the Vizard Hil. 'T is well for us he does not for then he 'd pretend Love to one of us Carel. Gad but I wou'd not to you nor ne'r a Woman in the World Iac. I dare swear you wou'd Carel. Perhaps I might make you believe I was in Love with you Hil. No that you cou'd ne're do Carel. Why don't you think your selves handsome enough to be lov'd Iac. Yes but we think you have more Wit Carel. What then to love one of you Hil. Yes or any body else that is never like to love you agen Carel. Are you an Enemy to me or to Love Hil. To love I think it is a very foolish thing Carel. But 't is Marriage makes it so Give me Love as Nature made it Free and Unconfin'd Observe but Mistress and Gallant How Brisk how Gay how Fierce they are in their Amours Whil'st Marriage-love comes like a Slave loaden with Fetters dull and out of humour Hil. For my part I am rather for a Gallant than a Husband Iac. So am I clearly Carel. 'T is well dissembl'd on one side one of you I am sure speaks against her Conscience but if you are as you say you 'r Girles for me Iac.
