y, and just going out of the World, and
would gladly see thee in safe Hands.

_Maun._ He has been just going this twenty Years. [Aside.

Sir _Pat._ Therefore I command you to receive the tenders of his
Affection.

Enter _Fanny_.

_Fan._ Sir Father, my Lady _Knowell's_ in the Garden.

L. _Fan._ My Dear, we must go meet her in decency.

Sir _Pat._ A hard case, a Man cannot be sick in quiet.
[Exit with L. _Fan._

_Isab._ A Husband, and that not _Lodwick_! Heaven forbid. [Aside.

_Wit._ Now Foppery assist to make me very ridiculous,--Death, she's very
pretty and inviting; what an insensible Dog shall I be counted to refuse
the Enjoyment of so fair, so new a Creature, and who is like to be
thrown into my Arms too whether I will or not?--but Conscience and my
Vows to the fair Mother: No, I will be honest.--Madam,--as Gad shall
save me, I'm the Son of a Whore, if you are not the most Belle Person I
ever saw, and if I be not damnably in love with you; but a pox take all
tedious Courtship, I have a free-born and generous Spirit; and as I hate
being confin'd to dull Cringing, Whining, Flattering, and the Devil and
all of Foppery, so when I give an Heart, I'm an Infidel, Madam, if I do
not love to do't frankly and quickly, that thereby I may oblige the
beautiful Receiver of my Vows, Protestations, Passions, and Inclination.

_Isab._ You're wonderful ingaging, Sir, and I were an Ingrate not to
facilitate a return for the Honour you are pleas'd to do me.

_Wit._ Upon my Reputation, Madam, you're a civil well-bred Person, you
have all the Agreemony of your Sex, _la belle Taille_, _la bonne Mine_,
& _Reparteee bien_, and are _tout oure toore_, as I'm a Gentleman, _fort
agreeable_.--If this do not please your Lady, and nauseate her, the
Devil's in 'em both for unreasonable Women.--
[To _Maun._

_Fan._ Gemini, Sister, does the Gentleman conjurer?

_Isab._ I know not, but I'm sure I never saw a more affected Fop.

_Maun._ O, a damnable impertinent Fop! 'tis pity, for he's a proper
Gentleman.

_Wit._ Well, if I do hold out, Egad, I shall be the bravest young Fellow
in Christendom: But, Madam, I must kiss your Hand at present, I have
some Visits to make, Devoirs to pay, necessities of Gallantry only, no
Love Engagements, by _Jove_, Madam; it is sufficient I have given my
Parole to your Father, to do him the honour of my Alliance; and an
unnecessary Jealousy will but disoblige, Madam, your Slave.--Death,
