but to the young Knaves that are lick'd and comb'd and are minding you more than the Parson--ods bobs, there are more Cuckolds destin'd in the Church, than are made out of it. Sir _Cau_. Hah, ha, ha, he tickles ye, i'faith, Ladies. [_To his Lady_. _Bel_. Not one chance look this way--and yet I can forgive her lovely Eyes, Because they look not pleas'd with all this Ceremony; And yet methinks some sympathy in Love Might this way glance their Beams--I cannot hold-- Sir, is this fair Lady my Aunt? Sir _Feeb_. Oh, _Francis_! Come hither, _Francis_. _Lette_, here's a young Rogue has a mind to kiss thee.

Till the last pantings of my vital Blood, Nay, the last spark of Life and Fire be Love's! _Enter_ Rag. --How now, _Rag_, what's a Clock? _Rag_. My Belly can inform you better than my Tongue. _Gay_. Why, you gormandizing Vermin you, what have you done with the Three pence I gave you a fortnight ago. _Rag_. Alas, Sir, that's all gone long since. _Gay_. You gutling Rascal, you are enough to breed a Famine in a Land. I have known some industrious Footmen, that have not only gotten their own Livings, but a pretty Livelihood for their Masters too. _Rag_. Ay, till they came to the Gallows, Sir. _Gay_.
