Sir _Pat._ My Face! why, what ails my Face? hah! L. _Fan._ See, Mr. _Fainlove_, oh, look on my Dear, is he not strangely alter'd? _Wit._ Most wonderfully. Sir _Pat._ Alter'd, hah--why, where, why, how alter'd?--hah, alter'd say you? _Wit._ Lord, how wildly he stares! Sir _Pat._ Hah, stare wildly! _Rog._ Are you not very sick, Sir? L. _Fan._ Sick! oh, Heavens forbid!--How does my dearest Love? Sir _Pat._ Methinks I feel myself not well o'th' sudden--ah--a kind of shivering seizes all my Limbs,--and am I so much chang'd? _Wit._ All over, Sir, as big again as you were. L. _Fan._ Your Face is frightfully blown up, and your dear Eyes just starting from your Head; oh, I shall sound with the apprehension on't. [Falls into _Wittmore's_ Arms. Sir _Pat._ My Head and Eyes so big, say you: oh, I'm wondrous sick o'th' sudden,--all over say you--oh, oh--Ay, I perceive it now, my Senses fail me too. L. _Fan._ How, Sir, your Senses fail you? _Wit._ That's a very bad sign, believe me. Sir _Pat._ Oh, ay, for I can neither feel nor see this mighty growth you speak of.

[Aside. _Rog._ I'll fit him with a Glass,--I'll warrant ye, it shall advance our Design. [Exit _Roger_. Enter _Maundy_ with the Clothes, she starts. _Maun._ Good Heaven, what ails you, Sir? Sir _Pat._ Oh--oh--'tis so. _Maun._ Lord, how he's swoln! see how his Stomach struts. Sir _Pat._ Ah, 'tis true, though I perceive it not. _Maun._ Not perceive it, Sir! put on your Clothes and be convinc'd,--try 'em, Sir. [She pulls off his Gown, and puts on his Doublet and Coat, which come not near by a handful or more. Sir _Pat._ Ah, it needs not,--mercy upon me!-- [Falls back. I'm lost, I'm gone! Oh Man, what art thou but a Flower? I am poison'd, this talking Lady's Breath's infectious; methought I felt the Contagion steal into my Heart; send for my Physicians, and if I die I'll swear she's my Murderer: oh, see, see, how my trembling increases, oh, hold my Limbs, I die.-- Enter _Roger_ with a magnifying Glass, shews him the Glass; he looks in it. _Rog._ I'll warrant I'll shew his Face as big as
