t thou in earnest? _Isab._ Are you in earnest? _Lor._ Yes, that I am, and that _Clarina_ shall find, If I once come to her. _Isab._ Come, leave your frippery Jests, and come in. _Lor._ _Guilliam_, be sure you attend me here, And whoever you see, say nothing; the best on't is, Thou art not much known. [_Isab._ and _Lor._ go in. _Guil._ Well, I see there is nothing but foutering In this Town; wou'd our _Lucia_ were here too for me, For all the Maids I meet with are so giglish And scornful, that a Man, as I am, Gets nothing but flouts and flings from them. Oh, for the little kind Lass that lives Under the Hill, of whom the Song was made; Which because I have nothing else to do, I will sing over now; hum, hum. The Song for _Guilliam_. [To some Tune like him. _In a Cottage by the Mountain Lives a very pretty Maid, Who lay sleeping by a Fountain, Underneath a Myrtle shade; Her Petticoat of wanton Sarcenet, The amorous Wind about did move, And quite unveil'd, And quite unveil'd the Throne of Love, And quite unveil'd the Throne of Love._ 'Tis something cold, I'll go take a Niperkin of Wine, [Goes out.

[He holds the Door. _Lor._ Any thing to save my Life; --Sir, you may believe me upon my Honour, I am lawful Husband to _Isabella_, And have no designs upon your House or Honour.
