d _Adam's_ Ale is only current amongst ye; yet if little _Eve_ walk in the Garden, the starv'd lean Rogues neigh after her, as if they were in Paradise. _Will._ Still true to Love you see-- - _La Nu._ I heard an _English_ Capuchin swear, that if the King's Followers could be brought to pray as well as fast, there would be more Saints among 'em than the Church has ever canoniz'd. _Will._ All this with Pride I own, since 'tis a royal Cause I suffer for; go pursue your Business your own way, insnare the Fool-- I saw the Toils you set, and how that Face was ordered for the Conquest, your Eyes brimful of dying lying Love; and now and then a wishing Glance or Sigh thrown as by chance; which when the happy Coxcomb caught-- you feign'd a Blush, as angry and asham'd of the Discovery: and all this Cunning's for a little mercenary Gain-- fine Clothes, perhaps some Jewels too, whilst all the Finery cannot hide the Whore! _La Nu._ There's your eternal Quarrel to our Sex, 'twere a fine Trade indeed to keep a Shop and give your Ware for Love: would it turn to account think ye, Captain, to trick and dress, to receive all wou'd enter? faith, Captain, try the Trade. _Pet._ What in Discourse with this Railer!-- come away; Poverty's catching.

Where's _Fetherfool_? _Blunt._ Follow'd a good Woodman, who gave him the Sign: he'll lodge the Deer e'er night. _Will._ Follow'd her-- he durst not, the Fool wants Confidence enough to look on her. _Blunt._ Oh you know not how a Country Justice may be improved by Travel; the Rogue was hedg'd in at home with the Fear of his Neighbours and the Penal Statutes, now he's broke loose, he runs neighing like a Stone-Horse upon the Common. _Will._ However, I'll not believe this-- let's follow 'em.
