seen in my company--stay in the walks, by this kiss I'll be with you presently. _Enter_ FLORIMEL _running_. _Flo_. Help, help!--I can find nobody. _Cel_. Tis needless now, my dear; she's recovered, and gone off; but so wan and weakly,-- _Flo_.Umph! I begin to smell a rat.--What was your business here, Celadon? _Cel_. Charity, Christian charity; you saw I was labouring for life with her. _Flo_. But how came you hither?--Not that I care this, but only to be satisfied. [_Sings_. _Cel_. You are jealous, in my conscience! _Flo_. Who, I jealous!--then I wish this sigh may be the last that ever I may draw. [_Sighs_. _Cel_. But why do you sigh, then? _Flo_. Nothing but a cold, I cannot fetch my breath well. But what will you say, if I wrote the letter you had, to try your faith? _Cel_. Hey day! this is just the devil and the sinner; you lay snares for me, and then punish me for being taken: Here's trying a man's faith indeed!--What, do you think I had the faith of a stock, or of a stone? Nay, an you go to tantalize a man--I love upon the square, I can endure no tricks to be used to me. [OLINDA _and_ SABINA _at the door peeping_. _Olin_. and _Sab_. Celadon! Celadon! _Flo_. What voices are those? _Cel_. Some comrades of mine, that call me to play.--Pox on them, they'll spoil all. [_Aside_. _Flo_. Pray, let's see them. _Cel_.

Do your gentlemen speak with treble voices? I am resolved to see what company you keep. _Cel_. Nay, good my dear. [_He lays hold of her to pull her back, she lays hold of_ OLINDA, _by whom_ SABINA _holds; so that, he pulling, they all come in_. _Flo_. Are these your comrades? [Sings.] _'Tis Strephon calls, what would my love?_ Why do you not roar out, like a great bass-viol, _Come follow to the myrtle-grove_.--Pray, sir, which of these fair ladies is it, for whom you were to do the courtesy? for it were unconscionable to leave you to them both:--What, a mans but a man, you know. _Olin_. The gentleman may find an owner. _Sab_. Though not of you. _Flo_. Pray, agree whose the lost sheep is, and take him. _Cel_. 'Slife, they'll cry me anon, and tell my marks. _Flo_. Troth, I pity your highness there; I perceive he has left you for the little one: Methinks he should have been afraid to break
