hing-- by
this Light such a Wench would pass for a Person of Quality in _London_.
_Feth._ Few Ladies have I seen at a Sheriff's Feast have better Faces,
or worn so good Clothes; and by the Lord _Harry_, if these be of the
gentle Craft, I'd not give a Real for an honest Women for my use.
_Will._ Come follow me into the Church, for thither I am sure they're
gone: And I will let you see what a wretched thing you had been had you
lived seven Years longer in _Surrey_, stew'd in Ale and Beef-broth.
_Feth._ O dear _Willmore_, name not those savory things, there's no
jesting with my Stomach; it sleeps now, but if it wakes, wo be to your
Shares at the Ordinary.
_Blunt._ I'll say that for _Fetherfool_, if his Heart were but half so
good as his Stomach, he were a brave Fellow.
[Aside, Exeunt.
_Aria._ I am resolv'd to follow-- and learn, if possible, who 'tis has

_Will._ Death, how the charming Hypocrite looks to day, with such a soft
Devotion in her Eyes, as if even now she were praising Heav'n for all

_Blunt._ Look how _Willmore_ eyes her, the Rogue's smitten heart
