As shall a general Wonder move,
And wound a thousand Hearts with Love._
_Pet._ A Blessing on you, Sir, there's fifty Pistoles for you, and as I
earn it you shall have more.

[Exit _Willmore_ bowing.
_Shift._ Messieurs, 'tis late, and the Seignior's Patients stay for him
at his Laboratory, to morrow you shall see the conclusion of this
Experiment, and so I humbly take my leave at this time.
Enter _Willmore_, below sees _La Nuche_, makes up to her, whilst
the last part of the Dance is dancing.
_La Nu._ What makes you follow me, Sir?
[She goes from him, he pursues.
_Will._ Madam, I see something in that lovely Face of yours, which if
