_Will._ Faith-- I have an Assignation with a Woman-- a Woman Friend! young as the infant-day, and sweet as Roses e'er the Morning Sun have kiss'd their Dew away. She will not ask me Money neither. _La Nu._ Hah! stay-- [Holds him, and looks on him. _Beau._ She loves him, and her Eyes betray her Heart. _Will._ I am not for your turn, Child-- Death, I shall lose my Mistress fooling here-- I must be gone. [She holds him, he shakes his Head and sings. _No, no, I will not hire your Bed, Nor Tenant to your Favours be; I will not farm your White and Red, You shall not let your Love to me: I court a Mistress-- not a Landlady._ [bis. _Beau._ He's in the right; and shall I waste my Youth and powerful Fortune on one who all this while has jilted me, seeing I was a lavish loving Fool?-- No-- this Soul and Body shall not be divided-- [Gives her to _Will._ _Will._ I am so much thy Friend, another time I might be drawn to take a bad Bargain off thy Hands-- but I have other Business at present: wo't do a kind thing, _Harry_,-- lend me thy Aid to carry off my Woman to night?
