ks the Day, More silently than I'll those Joys receive, Which Love and Darkness do conspire to give. [Exeunt. SCENE V. Changes again to a Garden. Enter _Isabella_ and _Fanny_ in their Night-gowns. _Isab._ Well, I have no mind to let this dear mad Devil _Lodwick_ in to night. _Fan._ Why, Sister, this is not the first Venture you have made of this kind, at this Hour, and in this Place; these Arbours were they tell-tales, cou'd discover many pretty stories of your Loves, and do you think they'll be less faithful now? pray trust them once again. Oh, I do so love to hear Mr. _Lodwick_ protest, and vow, and swear, and dissemble, and when you don't believe him, rail at you,--avads, 'tis the prettiest Man-- _Isab._ I have a strange apprehension of being surpriz'd to night. _Fan._ I'll warrant you, I'll sit on yon Bank of Pinks, and when I hear a Noise I'll come and tell you; so _Lodwick_ may slip out at the back Gate, and we may be walking up and down as if we meant no harm. _Isab._ You'll grow very expert in the Arts of Love, _Fanny_. _Fan._ When I am big enough I shall do my Endeavour, for I have heard you say, Women were born to no other end than to love: And 'tis fit I should learn to live and die in my calling.--Come, open the Gate, or you'll repent it, we shall have my Father marry you within a day or two to that ugly Man that speaks hard Words,--avads, I can't abide him. _Isab._ What Noise is that? _Fan._ Why, 'tis Mr. _Lodwick_ at the Garden-Door;--let him in whilst I'll to my flowry Bank, and stand Centinel.-- [Runs off. _Isabella_ opens the Gate.
