be Feminine: harkye, Child, I fancy thee some kind thing that belongs to me. _La Nu._ Who are you? [In a low tone. _Will._ A wandering Lover that has lost his Heart, and I have shreud Guess 'tis in thy dear Bosom, Child. _La Nu._ Oh you're a pretty Lover, a Woman's like to have a sweet time on't, if you're always so tedious. _Will._ By yon bright Star-light, Child, I walk'd here in short turns like a Centinel, all this live-long Evening, and was just going (Gad forgive me) to kill my self. _La Nu._ I rather think some Beauty has detain'd you: Have you not seen _La Nuche_? _Will._ _La Nuche!_-- Why, she's a Whore-- I hope you take me for a civiller Person, than to throw my self away on Whores-- No, Child, I lie with none but honest Women I: but no disputing now, come-- to my Lodging, my dear-- here's a Chair waits hard by.
