Sir _Cau_. Procure her! with all my soul, Sir; alas, you mistake my honest meaning, I scorn to be so unjust as not to see you a-bed together; and then agree as well as you can, I have done my part--In order to this, Sir--get but your self conveyed in a Chest to my house, with a Direction upon't for me; and for the rest-- _Gay_. I understand you. Sir _Feeb_. _Ralph_, get supper ready. _Enter_ Bea. _with Dancers; all go out but Sir_ Cautious. Sir _Cau_. Well, I must break my Mind, if possible, to my Lady--but if she shou'd be refractory now--and make me pay Three hundred Pounds--why, sure she won't have so little Grace--Three hundred Pounds sav'd, is three hundred pounds got--by our account--Cou'd All-- _Who of this City-Privilege are free, Hope to be paid for Cuckoldom like me; Th'unthriving Merchant, whom gray Hair adorns, Before all Ventures wou'd ensure his Horns; For thus, while he but lets spare Rooms to hire, His Wife's cracked Credit keeps his own entire_. [_Exit_. ACT V. SCENE I. _Sir_ Cautious _his House_. _Enter_ Bellmour _alone, sad_. _Bel_. The Night is come, oh my _Leticia_!

But how! ay, there's the Question--hah-- [_Pausing_. I'll get my self hid in her Bed-chamber-- And something I will do--may serve us yet-- If all my Arts should fail--I'll have recourse [_Draws a dagger_. To this--and bear _Leticia_ off by force. --But see she comes-- _Enter Lady_ Fulbank, _Sir_ Cautious, _Sir_ Feeble, Leticia, Bearjest, Noisey, Gayman. _Exit_ Bellmour. Sir _Feeb_. Lights there, _Ralph_. And my Lady's Coach there-- [Bearjest _goes to_ Gayman. _Bea_. Well, Sir, remember you have promised to grant me my diabolical Request, in shewing me the Devil-- _Gay_. I will not fail you, Sir. L. _Ful_. Madam, your Servant; I hope you'll see no more Ghosts, Sir _Feeble_. Sir _Feeb_. No more of that, I beseech you, Madam: Prithee, Sir _Cautious_, take away your Wife--Madam, your Servant-- [_All go out after the Light_. --Come, _Lette, Lette_; hasten, Rogue, hasten to thy Chamber; away, here be the young Wenches coming--
