ry like her.
_And._ She has a wide face then.
_Char._ She has a Cherubin's, cover'd and vail'd with modest blushes.
_Eustace_, be happy, whiles poor _Charles_ is patient. Get me my Books
again, and come in with me-- [_Exeunt._
_Enter_ Brisac, Eustace, Egremont, Cowsy, Miramont.
_Bri._ Welcome, sweet Daughter; welcome, noble Brother; and you are
welcome, Sir, with all your Writings; Ladys, most welcome: What, my angry
Brother! you must be welcome too, the Feast is flat else.
_Mir._ I am not come for your welcome, I expect none; I bring no joys to
bless the bed withall; nor Songs, nor Masques to glorifie the Nuptials; I
bring an angry mind to see your folly, a sharp one too, to reprehend you
for it.
_Bri._ You'll stay and dine though.
_Mir._ All your meat smells musty, your Table will shew nothing to content
me.
_Bri._ I'le answer you here's good meat.

_Mir._ So I mean 'em. Sir, you play harsher play w'your elder Brother.
_Eust._ I would be loth to give you.
_Mir._ Do not venture, I'le make your wedding cloaths sit closer t'ye

_Lew._ Pray take a piece of Rosemary.
_Mir._ I'le wear it, but for the Ladys sake, and none of yours; may be
I'le see your Table too.
_Bri._ Pray do, Sir.
_Ang._ A mad old Gentleman.
_Bri._ Yes faith, sweet Daughter, he has been thus his whole age, to my
knowledge; he has made _Charles_ his Heir, I know that certainly; then why
should he grudge _Eustace_ any thing?
_Ang._ I would not have a light head, nor one laden with too much
learning, as, they say, this _Charles_ is, that makes his Book his
Mistris; Sure there's something hid in this old man's anger, that declares
