neighbour Wildrake?

_Sir Wil_. [Without.] Why, Constance! Constance!

_Con_. In a moment, sir!
Good-bye!--I'd cry, dear neighbour--if I could!
Good-bye!--A pleasant day when next you hunt!
And, prithee, mind thy horse don't balk his leap!
Good-bye!--and, after dinner, drink my health!
"A bumper, sirs, to neighbour Constance!"--Do!--
And give it with a speech, wherein unfold
My many graces, more accomplishments,
And virtues topping either--in a word,
How I'm the fairest, kindest, best of neighbours!

[They go out severally.--TRUEWORTH trying to pacify WILDRAKE--CONSTANCE
laughing.]

ACT II.

SCENE I.--A Room in Sir William's House.

[Enter TRUEWORTH and WILDRAKE.]

_Wild_. Nay, Master Trueworth, I must needs be gone!
She treats me worse and worse! I am a stock,
That words have none to pay her. For her sake
I quit the town to-day. I like a jest,
But hers are jests past bearing. I am her butt,
She nothing does but practise on! A plague!--
Fly her shafts ever your way?

_True_. Would they did!

_Wild_. Art mad?--or wishest she should drive thee so?

Why what a burden that for a man's song!
Would fit a maiden that was sick for love.
Heigh ho! Come ride with me to Lincolnshire,
And turn thy "Heigh ho!" into "hilly ho!"

_True_. Nay, rather tarry thou in town with me.
Men sometimes find a friend's hand of avail,
When useless proves their own. Wilt lend me thine?

_Wild_. Or may my horse break down in a steeple-chase!

_True_. A steeple-chase. What made thee think of that?
I'm for the steeple--not to ride a race,
Only to get there!--nor alone, in sooth,
But in fair company.

_Wild_. Thou'rt not in love!

_True_. Heigh ho!

_Wild_. Thou wouldst not marry!

_True_. With your help.

_Wild_. And whom, I prithee?

_True_. Gentle Mistress Constance!

_Wild_. What!--neighbour Constance?--Never did I dream
That mortal man would fall in love with her. [Aside.]
In love with neighbour Constance!--I feel strange
At thought that she should marry!--[Aside.] Go to church
With neighbour Constance! That's a steeple-chase
I never thought of. I feel very strange!
What seest in neighbour Constance?

_True_. Lovers' eyes
See with a vision proper to themselves;
Yet thousand eyes will vouch what m
