Ay Clara we are ●…ondemn'd without reprieve 'T is better to live as we have done kept from all men than for each to be confin'd to one whom yet we never saw and a thousand to one shall never like Clar. Out on 't a Spanish Wife has a worse life than a coop'd Chicken Flav. A singing Bird in a Cage is a Princely creature compar'd to that poor Animal call'd a Wife here Clar. Birds are made tame by being cag'd but Women grow wild by confinement and that I fear my Husband will find to his cost Flav. None live pleasantly here but those who should be miserable Strumpets They can choose their Mates but we must be like Slaves condemn'd to the Gallies we have not liberty to sell our Selves or venture one throw for our freedom Clar. O that we were in England there they say a Lady may choose a Footman and run away with him if she likes him and no dishonour to the Family Flav. That 's because the Families are so very Honourable that nothing can touch them there Wives run and ramble whither ●…nd with whom they please and defie all censure Clar. Ay and a jealous Husband is a more monstrou●… Cr●…ture there than a Wittall here and wou'd be more pointed at They say if a man be jealous there the women will all joyn and pull him to pieces Fl●…v Oh happy Countrey we ne'r tou●…h money there the Wives can spend their Husbands Estates for ' em Oh b●…ess'd Countrey Clar.

Oh that we had those frank civil English-men instead of our grave dull surly Spanish Blockheads whose greatest honour lies in preserving their Beards and Foreheads inviolable Flav. In England if a Husband and Wife like not one another they draw two several ways and make no bones on 't while the Husband treats his Mistris openly in his Glass-Coach the Wife for decency's sake puts on her Vizar and whips away in a Hackney with a Gallant and no harm done Clar. Though of late 't is as unfashionable for a Husband to love his Wife there as 't is here yet 't is fashionable for her to love some body else and that 's something Flav. Nay they say Gentlemen will keep company with a Cuckold there as soon as another man and ne'r wonder at him Clar. Oh happy Countrey there a Woman may chuse for her self and none will into the Trap of Ma●…imony unless she likes the Bait but here we are tumbl'd headlong and blindfold into it Flav. We are us'd as they use Hawks never unhooded or whistled off till they are just upon the Quarry Clar. And 't is for others not our selves we fly too Flav. No more this does but put us in mind of our misery Clar. It does so but prethee let 's be merry one night to morrow is our last Farewell all happiness Flav. O that this happy day would last our lives-time But prethee my Dear let 's have thy Song and divert our s●…lves as well as we can in the mean time Clar. 'T is a little too wanton Flav. Pr●…thee let 's be a little wanton this evening to morrow we must take our leaves on 't Clar.

A shame on the Curse Of For c. How happy is the ●…illage Maid Whom onely Love can f●…tter By foolish Honour ne'r betray'd She serves a Pow'r much greater That lawful Prince the wisest rules Th Usurper Honour rules but Fools Chor. A shame on the Curse Of For c. Let us resume our antient right Make man at distance wonder Though he victorious be in sight In love we 'll keep him under W●… and Ambition hence be hurl'd Let Love and Beauty rule the World Chor. A shame on the Curse Of For better c. Flav. Oh dear Clara that this were true But now let 's home our Father will miss us Clar. No he 's walk'd abroad with the three Shipwrack'd Gentlemen Flav. They 're proper handsome Gentlemen but the chief whom they call Don John exceeds the rest Clar. I never saw a finer person pray Heaven either of our Husbands prove as good Flav.
