oiding me now, You and I must come to a parley. Pray what's the reason You took no notice of me, When I came with so civil an address too? _Isab._ Can you ever think to thrive in an Amour, When you take notice of your Mistress, Or any that belongs to her, in publick, And when she's a married Woman too? _Lor._ Good _Isabella_, the loser may have leave to speak, I am sure it has been a plaguy dear Amour to me. _Isab._ Let me hear you name that again, And you shall miss of my Assistance. _Lor._ Nay, do but hear me a little; I vow 'tis the strangest thing in the World, A Man must part from so much Money as I have done, And be confin'd to Signs and Grimaces only, To declare his Mind in: If a Man has a Tongue, let him exercise it, I say, As long as he pays for speaking. _Isab._ Again with your paying for't?
