le longer? D'ye hear Sir, begon, leave this Place
immediately, or I'le--I'le--I'le--Gad I cou'd find in my Heart, so I
cou'd, but be gone.
_Fri._ _Bonvile_ here with _Clara_ too, excellent. This goes to
_Arabella_, and may it encrease the Storm.
[_Exit_ Frie.
_Bon._ My Father in Anger.
_Mer._ O Son, Son, Son! dear Boy, welcome home, Od's bobs you are.
_Bon._ I humbly thank you, Sir; but am sorry to see you so disturb'd.
_Mer._ Nothing, nothing, only Mr. _Friendly_ and I have had a Word or
two, that's all, that's all.
_Bon._ About my going with him, I suppose; but that's past, and I hope,
Sir, you'l be so kind as at my Request to pardon him.
_Mer._ Indeed Son it was something else; By the Lord _Harry_ I can't
forbear laughing at the Coxcomb, Ha, ha, ha; He told me, Ha, ha, ha,

_Bon._ As I will your Daughters if I find her false: Death, Hell, and

Breach 'twixt you and your Wife. Od's bobs, I don't know, I can't tell
what shou'd be the meaning of his carrying you away on your Wedding-Day,

_Enter_ Summerfield _leading_ Arabella.
