ne'er a Chimney in 'em:--Pox on't, what have I to do with a Chimney now? _Isa_. He is a delicate fine Person, _Jacinta_; but, methinks he does not make Love enough to me. _Jac_. Oh, Madam, Persons of his Quality never make Love in Words, the greatness of their Actions show their Passion. _Jac_. Ay, 'tis true all the little Fellows talk of Love. _Guil_. Come, Ladies, set; Come, _Isabella_, you are melancholy,--Page --Fill my Lady a Beer-glass. _Isa_. Ah, Heav'ns, a Beer-glass. _Guil_. O, your Viscountess never drinks under your Beer-glass, your Citizens Wives simper and sip, and will be drunk without doing Credit to the Treater; but in their Closets, they swinge it away, whole Slashes, i'faith, and egad, when a Woman drinks by her self, Glasses come thick about: your Gentlewoman, or your little Lady, drinks half way, and thinks in point of good manners, she must leave some at the bottom; but your true bred Woman of Honour drinks all, _Supernaculum_, by _Jove_. _Isa_.

Good lack, these Lords are very learned Men. _Pet_. Now, Sir, you shall hear one of another Language from my Wife and I. [_Sing a Dialogue_ in French. _Enter the_ Captain. _Capt_. Well, Gentlemen, though the news be something unpleasant that I bring, yet to noble minds 'tis sport and pastime. _Guil_. Hah, Fellow! What's that that's sport and pastime to noble minds. _Fran_. Oh Lord, no goodness, I'll warrant. _Capt_. But, Gentlemen, pluck up your Spirits, be bold and resolute. _Fran_. Oh Lord, bold and resolute! why, what's the matter, Captain? _Capt_.
