ilegiously, at Church, where you debauch'd my Zeal; and when I wou'd have pray'd, your Eyes had put the Change upon my Tongue, and made it utter Railings: Heav'n forgive ye! _La Nu._ You are the gayest thing without a Heart, I ever saw. _Aria._ I scorn to flinch for a bare Wound or two; nor is he routed that has lost the day, he may again rally, renew the Fight, and vanquish. _La Nu._ You have a good opinion of that Beauty, which I find not so forcible, nor that fond Prattle uttered with such Confidence. _Aria._ But I have Quality and Fortune too. _La Nu._ So had you need.
