you never can be mine that way, I cannot think that you should be another's. _Will._ No more delays, by Heaven, 'twas but a trick. _La Nu._ And will you never see that Woman neither, whom you're this Night to visit? _Will._ Damn all the rest of thy weak Sex, when thou look'st thus, and art so soft and charming. [Offers to lead her out. _La Nu._ _Sancho_-- my Coach. [Turns in scorn. _Will._ Take heed, what mean ye? _La Nu._ Not to be pointed at by all the envying Women of the Town, who'l laugh and cry, Is this the high-priz'd Lady, now fall'n so low, to doat upon a Captain? a poor disbanded Captain? defend me from that Infamy. _Will._ Now all the Plagues-- but yet I will not curse thee, 'tis lost on thee, for thou art destin'd damn'd.

ACT IV. SCENE I. _The Street, or Backside of the Piazza dark._ Enter _Willmore_ alone. _Will._ A Pox upon this Woman that has jilted me, and I for being a fond believing Puppy to be in earnest with so great a Devil. Where be these Coxcombs too? this _Blunt_ and _Fetherfool_? when a Man needs 'em not, they are plaguing him with their unseasonable Jests-- could I but light on them, I would be very drunk to night-- but
