enly and constantly, And wisely too, we expect no common danger. _Zen_. Be most assur'd, I'le dye first. _Enter_ Clodio, _and_ Guard. _Rut_. An't come to that once, The Devil pick his bones, that dyes a coward, I'le jog along with you, here comes the Stallion, How smug he looks upon the imagination Of what he hopes to act! pox on your kidneys; How they begin to melt! how big he bears, Sure he will leap before us all: what a sweet company Of rogues and panders wait upon his lewdness! Plague of your chops, you ha' more handsome bitts, Than a hundred honester men, and more deserving. How the dogg leers. _Clod_. You need not now be jealous, I speak at distance to your wife, but when the Priest has done, We shall grow nearer, and more familiar. _Rut_. I'le watch you for that trick, baboon, I'le Smoke you: the rogue sweats, as if he had eaten Grains, he broyles, if I do come to the Basting of you. _Arno_.

Now do I long to worry him: Pray have a care to the main chance. _Zen_. Pray Sir, fear not. [_Exit_ Ar. _and_ Rut. _Clod_. Now, what say you to me? _Zen_. Sir it becomes The modestie, that maids are ever born with, To use few words. _Clod_. Do you see nothing in me? Nothing to catch your eyes, nothing of wonder The common mould of men, come short, and want in? Do you read no future fortune for your self here? And what a happiness it may be to you, To have him honour you, all women aim at? To have him love you Lady, that man love you, The best, and the most beauteous have run mad for? Look and be wise, you have a favour offer'd you I do not every day propound to women; You are a prettie one; and though each hour I a
