rmal. _Aria._ I must dissemble, or he'll stay all day to make his peace again-- why, have you ne'er-- a Mistress then? _Beau._ A hundred, by this day, as many as I like, they are my Mirth, the business of my loose and wanton Hours; but thou art my Devotion, the grave, the solemn Pleasure of my Soul-- Pox, would I were handsomly rid of thee too. [Aside.] --Come, I have business-- send me pleas'd away. _Aria._ Would to Heaven thou wert gone; [Aside.] You're going to some Woman now. _Beau._ Oh damn the Sex, I hate 'em all-- but thee-- farewell, my pretty jealous-sullen-Fool.
