I'll home (if I can find the way) with this Consolation, that I am not the first kind believing Coxcomb; but there are, Gallants, many such good Natures amongst ye. _And tho you've better Arts to hide your Follies, Adsheartlikins y'are all as errant Cullies._ SCENE III. _The Garden, in the Night._ Enter _Florinda_ undres'd, with a Key, and a little Box. _Flor._ Well, thus far I'm in my way to Happiness; I have got my self free from _Callis_; my Brother too, I find by yonder light, is gone into his Cabinet, and thinks not of me: I have by good Fortune got the Key of the Garden Back-door,-- I'll open it, to prevent _Belvile's_ knocking,-- a little noise will now alarm my Brother. Now am I as fearful as a young Thief. [Unlocks the Door.] --Hark,-- what noise is that?-- Oh,'twas the Wind that plaid amongst the Boughs.-- _Belvile_ stays long, methinks-- it's time-- stay-- for fear of a surprize, I'll hide these Jewels in yonder Jessamin.

I'll not boast who 'twas oblig'd me, not I-- for hang me if I know thy Name. _Flor._ Heavens! what a filthy beast is this! _Will._ I am so, and thou oughtst the sooner to lie with me for that reason,-- for look you, Child, there will be no Sin in't, because 'tw
