these Rogues see me, and I'm undone.-- [Exit. Enter Lady _Fancy_, Lady _Knowell_, Sir _Credulous_ and _Lucretia_, with other Women and Men, _Roger_ attending. L. _Kno._ _Isabella_, your Servant, Madam: being sensible of the insociable and solitary Life you lead, I have brought my whole Family to wait on your Ladyship, and this my Son _in Futuro_, to kiss your Hands, I beseech your Ladyship to know him for your humble Servant: my Son and your Nephew, Madam, are coming with the Musick too, we mean to pass the whole Day with your Ladyship:--and see they are here. Enter _Lodwick_ pulling in _Wittmore_, _Leander_ with them. _Lod._ Nay, since we have met thee so luckily, you must back with us. _Wit._ You must excuse me, Gentlemen. _Lod._ We'll shew you two or three fine Women. _Wit._ Death, these Rogues will ruin me--but I have Business, Gentlemen, that-- _Lean._ That must not hinder you from doing Deeds of Charity: we are all come to teeze my Uncle, and you must assist at so good a Work;--come, gad, thou shall make love to my Aunt.--I wou'd he wou'd effectually.
