oo busy with my sister, I would speak with you. _Cel_. I come, madam. _Sab_. Time enough, sir; pray finish your discourse--and as you were a saying, sir,-- _Olin_. Sweet sir,-- _Sab_. Sister, you forget, my mother bid you make haste. _Olin_. Well, go you, and tell her I am coming. _Sab_. I can never endure to be the messenger of ill news; but, if you please, I'll send her word you won't come. _Olin_. Minion, minion, remember this--[_Exit OLIN_. _Sab_. She's horribly in love with you. _Cel_. Lord, who could love that walking steeple! She's so high, that every time she sings to me, I am looking up for the bell that tolls to church.--Ha! give me my little fifth-rate, that lies so snug. She! hang her, a Dutch-built bottom: She's so tall, there's no boarding her. But we lose time--madam, let me seal my love upon your mouth. [_Kiss_] Soft and sweet, by heaven! sure you wear rose-leaves between your lips. _Sab_. Lord, Lord, what's the matter with me! my breath grows so short, I can scarce speak to you. _Cel_.

In very good time, Florimel; for heaven's sake, help me quickly. _Flo_. What's the matter? _Cel_. Do you not see? here's a poor gentlewoman in a swoon! (Swoon away.) I have been rubbing her this half hour, and cannot bring her to her senses. _Flo_. Alas! how came she so? _Cel_. Oh barbarous! do you stay to ask questions? run, for charity. _Flo_. Help, help! alas! poor lady--[_Exit_ FLO. _Sab_. Is she gone? _Cel_. Ay, thanks be to my wit, that helped me at a pinch; I thank heaven, I never pumpt for a lye in all my life yet. _Sab_. I am afraid you love her, Celadon! _Cel_. Only as a civil acquaintance, or so; but, however, to avoid slander, you had best be gone before she comes again. _Sab_. I can find a tongue as well as she. _Cel_. Ay, but the truth is, I am a kind of scandalous person, and for you to be
