alier, who takes such pains to recommend himself to you. _La Nu._ Yes, for a fine conceited Fool-- _Pet._ Catso, a Fool, what else? _La Nu._ Right, they are our noblest Chapmen; a Fool, and a rich Fool, and an _English_ rich Fool-- _Feth._ 'Sbud, she eyes me, _Ned_, I'll set my self in order, it may take-- hah-- [Sets himself. _Pet._ Let me alone to manage him, I'll to him-- _La Nu._ Or to the Devil, so I had one Minute's time to speak to _Willmore_. _Pet._ And accosting him thus-- tell him-- _La Nu._ [in a hasty Tone.] --I am desperately in love with him, and am Daughter, Wife, or Mistress to some Grandee-- bemoan the Condition of Women of Quality in _Spain_, who by too much Constraint are oblig'd to speak first-- but were we blest like other Nations where Men and Women meet-- [Speaking so fast, she offering to put in her word, is still prevented by t'other's running on. _Pet._ What Herds of Cuckolds would _Spain_ breed-- 'Slife, I could find in my Heart to forswear your Service: Have I taught ye your Trade, to become my Instructor, how to cozen a dull phlegmatick greasy-brain'd Englishman?-- go and expect your Wishes. _Will._ So, she has sent her Matron to our Coxcomb; she saw he was a Cully fit for Game-- who would not be a Rascal to be rich, a Dog, an Ass, a beaten, harden'd Coward-- by Heaven, I will possess this gay Insensible, to make me hate her-- most extremely curse her-- See if she be not fallen to Pray'r again, from thence to Flattery, Jilting and Purse-taking, to make the Proverb good-- My fair false _Sybil_, what Inspirations are you waiting for from Heaven, new Arts to cheat Mankind!-- Tell me, with what Face canst thou be devout, or ask any thing from thence, who hast made so leud a use of what it has already lavish'd on thee? _La Nu._ Oh my careless Rover!
