t last particular you have the better of me.

_Arch_. Ay, you're such an amorous puppy, that I'm
afraid you 'll spoil our sport; you can't counterfeit
the passion without feeling it.

_Aim_. Though the whining part be out of doors in town,
'tis still in force with the country ladies: and let me
tell you, Frank, the fool in that passion shall-outdo
the knave at any time.

_Arch_. Well, I won't dispute it now; you command for
the day, and so I submit: at Nottingham, you
know, I am to be master. {266}

_Aim_. And at Lincoln, I again.

_Arch_. Then, at Norwich I mount, which, I think, shall
be our last stage; for, if we fail there, we'll embark
for Holland, bid adieu to Venus, and welcome
Mars.

_Aim_. A match!--Mum!

_Re-enter Boniface_.

_Bon_. What will your worship please to have for supper?

_Aim_. What have you got?

_Bon_. Sir, we have a delicate piece of beef in the pot,
and a pig at the fire.

indifferently provided with fish, that 's the truth on't;
and then for wildfowl--we have a delicate couple of
rabbits. {291}

_Aim_. Get me the rabbits fricasseed.

_Bon_. Fricasseed! Lard, sir, they 'll eat much better
smothered with onions.

_Arch_. Psha! Damn your onions!

_Aim_. Again, sirrah!--Well, landlord, what you please.
But hold, I have a small charge of money, and your
house is so full of strangers that I believe it may
be safer in your custody than mine; for when this
fellow of mine gets drunk he tends to nothing.--Here,
sirrah, reach me the strong-box. {301}

_Arch_. Yes, sir.--[_Aside_.] This will give us a reputation.

[_Brings Aimwell the box_.

_Aim_. Here, landlord; the locks are sealed down both
for your security and mine; it holds somewhat
above two hundred pound: if you doubt it I'll
count it to you after supper; but be sure you lay it
where I may have it at a minute's warning; for my
affairs are a little dubi
