t has Generosity enough to give a favour handsomely to one that can ask it discreetly, one that has Wit enough to manage an Intrigue of Love-- oh, how civil such a Wench is, to a Man than does her the Honour to marry her. _Ang._ By Heaven, there's no Faith in any thing he says. Enter _Sebastian_. _Sebast._ Madam, _Don Antonio_-- _Ang._ Come hither. _Hell._ Ha, _Antonio_! he may be coming hither, and he'll certainly discover me, I'll therefore retire without a Ceremony. [Exit _Hellena_. _Ang._ I'll see him, get my Coach ready. _Sebast._ It waits you, Madam. _Will._ This is lucky: what, Madam, now I may be gone and leave you to the enjoyment of my Rival? _Ang._ Dull Man, that canst not see how ill, how poor That false dissimulation looks-- Be gone, And never let me see thy cozening Face again, Lest I relapse and kill thee. _Will._ Yes, you can spare me now,-- farewell till you are in a better Humour-- I'm glad of this release-- Now for my Gipsy: For tho to worse we change, yet still we find New Joys, New Charms, in a new Miss that's kind.

[Exeunt. SCENE III. _A Street._ Enter _Florinda_ and _Valeria_ in Habits different from what they have been seen in. _Flor._ We're happily escap'd, yet I tremble still. _Val._ A Lover and fear! why, I am but half a one, and yet I have Courage for any Attempt. Would _Hellena_ were here. I wou'd fain have had her as deep in this Mischief as we, she'll fare but ill else I doubt. _Flor._ She pretended a Visit to the Augustine Nuns, but I believe some other design carried her out, pray Heavens we light on her. --Prithee what didst do with Callis? _Val._ When I saw no Reason wou'd do good on her, I f
