Provinces, has bought one single Sigh, or Wish: No, my dear Prince, you owe 'em all to Love, and your own Charms. _Geo._ Oh, damn'd, dissembling Jilt! [Aside. _Prince._ No more, no more, my Soul's opprest with Joy: let me unload it in thy tender Arms, and sigh it out into thy ravishing Bosom. _Geo._ Death, and Damnation!-- I shall forget his Quality and Virtue, forget he was my Friend, or sav'd this Life; and like a River, swell'd with angry Tides, o'erflow those Banks that made the Stream so gay. _Mir._ Who's there?--I heard a Voice--_Manage_? _Geo._ Yes. [Softly. _Prince._ Approach, thou Confident of all my Joys; approach, and be rewarded-- [_Prince_ takes his Jewel from his Hat. _Geo._ Yes, for my excellent Bauding--By Heav'n, I dare not touch his princely Person. _Prince._ Where art thou? take this Jewel and retire.

Who is't among ye All, ye Fair Deceivers, ye charming Mischiefs to the noble Race, can swear she's Innocent, without Damnation? No, no, go on--be false--be fickle still: You act but Nature--But, my faithless Friend--where I repose the secrets of my Soul--except this one--Alas! he knew not this:--Why do I blame him then? Enter _Olivia_, dress'd as before. _Oliv._ Fire! Fire! Fire! _Geo._ _Olivia's_ Voice!--Ha! what art thou? Thy Voice shou'd be _Olivia's_, but thy Shape--and yet a Woman is all o'er Disguise. Enter Lady _Blunder_ in her Night-Gown. L. _Blun._ Fire! Fire! Fire! My Son, my dear Sir _Morgan._ Enter Sir _Rowland_, and Servants. Sir _Row._ A Pox on your Son, and mine to boot; they have set all the Sack-Butts a Flaming in the Cellar, thence the Mischief began. _Timothy_, _Roger_, _Jeffrey_, my Money-Trunks, ye
