make my anger but ridiculous. There will be a time, and place, there will be, cowards, When you shall feel what I dare do. _Wellb._ I think so: You dare do any ill; yet want true valour To be honest, and repent. _Sir G._ They are words I know not, No e'er will learn. Patience, the beggar's virtue, Shall find no harbour here.--After these storms, At length a calm appears. _Enter_ Greedy _and_ Parson Welldo. Welcome, most welcome: There's comfort in thy looks; is the deed done? Is my daughter married? say but so, my chaplain, And I am tame. _Welldo._ Married? yes, I assure you! _Sir G._ Then vanish all sad thoughts! My doubts and fears are in the title drown'd Of my right honourable, right honourable daughter. _Greedy._ Here will be feasting, at least for a month! _Sir G._ Instantly be here? [_Whispering to_ Welldo. To my wish! to my wish! Now you that plot against me, And hoped to trip my heels up; that contemn'd me; Think on't, and tremble. [_Loud Music._] They come, I hear the music.

And, for right honourable son-in-law, you may say Your dutiful daughter. _Sir G._ Devil! are they married? _Welldo._ Do a father's part, and say Heaven give them joy! _Sir G._ Confusion and ruin! Speak, and speak quickly, Or thou art dead. _Welldo._ They are married. _Sir G._ Thou hadst better Have made a contract with the king of fiends Than these.----My brain turns! _Welldo._ Why this rage to me? Is not this your letter, sir? and these the words? Marry her to this gentleman. _Sir G._ It cannot; Nor will I ever believe it: 'sdeath! I will not. That I, that in all passages I touch'd At worldly profit, have not left a print Where I have trod, for the most curious search To trace my footsteps; should be gull'd by children! Baffled and fool'd; and all my hopes and labours Defeated, and made void. _Welb._ As it appears, You are so, my grave uncle. _Sir
