that think to take us with that perfume, or with that lace, and laugh at us unconscionably when they have done. HAU: But, sir Dauphine's carelessness becomes him. CEN: I could love a man for such a nose. MAV: Or such a leg! CEN: He has an exceeding good eye, madam. MAV: And a very good lock. CEN: Good Morose, bring him to my chamber first. MRS. OTT: Please your honours to meet at my house, madam. TRUE: See how they eye thee, man! they are taken, I warrant thee. [HAUGHTY COMES FORWARD.] HAU: You have unbraced our brace of knights here, master Truewit. TRUE: Not I, madam; it was sir Dauphine's ingine: who, if he have disfurnish'd your ladyship of any guard or service by it, is able to make the place good again, in himself. HAU: There is no suspicion of that, sir. CEN: God so, Mavis, Haughty is kissing. MAV: Let us go too, and take part. [THEY COME FORWARD.] HAU: But I am glad of the fortune (beside the discovery of two such empty caskets) to gain the knowledge of so rich a mine of virtue as sir Dauphine. CEN: We would be all glad to style him of our friendship, and see him at the college. MAV: He cannot mix with a sweeter society, I'll prophesy; and I hope he himself will think so. DAUP: I should be rude to imagine otherwise, lady. TRUE: Did not I tell thee, Dauphine? Why, all their actions are governed by crude opinion, without reason or cause; they know not why they do any thing: but, as they are inform'd, believe, judge, praise, condemn, love, hate, and in emulation one of another, do all these things alike. Only they have a natural inclination sways them generally to the worst, when they are left to themselves. But pursue it, now thou hast them. HAU: Shall we go in again, Morose? EPI: Yes, madam. CEN: We'll entreat sir Dauphine's company. TRUE: Stay, good madam, the interview of the two friends, Pylades and Orestes: I'll fetch them out to you straight. HAU: Will you, master Truewit? DAUP: Ay, but noble ladies, do not confess in your countenance, or outward bearing to them, any discovery of their follies, that we may see how they will bear up again, with what assurance and erection. HAU: We will not, sir Dauphine. CEN. MAV: Upon our honours, sir Dauphine. TRUE [GOES TO THE FIRST CLOSET.]: Sir Amorous, sir Amorous!
