t by a hundred I hope; 'tis a strange wench. _Ant_. This screws me up still higher. _Enter Celia, and Ladies behind her._ _Men_. Here she comes, Sir. _Ant_. Then be you gone; and take the Women with ye, And lay those Jewels in her way. _Cel_. If I stay longer I shall number as many Lovers as _Lais_ did; How they flock after me! upon my Conscience, I have had a dozen Horses given me this morning, I'le ev'n set up a Troop, and turn She-souldier, A good discreet wench now, that were not hidebound Might raise a fine estate here, and suddenly: For these warm things will give their Souls--I can go no where Without a world of offerings to my Excellence: I am a Queen, a Goddesse, I know not what-- And no constellation in all Heaven, but I out-shine it; And they have found out now I have no eyes Of mortal lights, but certain influences, Strange vertuous lightnings, humane nature starts at, And I can kill my twenty in a morning, With as much ease now-- Ha! what are these? new projects? Where are my honourable Ladies? are you out too? Nay then I must buy the stock, send me good Carding: I hope the Princes hands be not in this sport; I have not seen him yet, cannot hear from him, And that troubles me: all these were recreations Had I but his sweet company to laugh with me: What fellow's that? another Apparition? This is the lovingst Age: I should know that face, Sure I have seen't before, not long since neither. _Ant_. She sees me now: O Heaven, a most rare creature! _Cel_. Yes, 'tis the same: I will take no notice of ye, But if I do not fit ye, let me fry for't; Is all this Cackling for your egg? they are fair ones, Excellent rich no doubt too; and may stumble A good staid mind, but I can go thus by 'em; My honest friend; do you set off these Jewels? _Ant_. Set 'em off, Lady? _Cel_. I mean, sell 'em here, Sir? _Ant_. She's very quick; for sale they are not meant sure. _Cel_. For sanctity I think much less: good even Sir. _Ant_. Nay noble Lady, stay: 'tis you must wear 'em: Never look strange, they are worthy your best beauty. _Cel_. Did you speak to me? _Ant_. To you or to none living: To you they are sent, to you they are sacrificed. _Cel_. I'le never look a Horse i'th' mouth that's given: I thank ye, Sir: I'le send one to reward ye. _Ant_. Do you never ask who sent 'em? _Cel_. Never I: Nor never care, if it be an honest end, That end's the full reward, and thanks but slubber it;
