ovis_, and then how I shall come off, the Lord knows. And then again, for letting the Lady go, whom I rescu'd in the Grove this Morning. _Glo._ Should I disobey a Lady, Sir? for she commanded me to let her go so soon as she came into the Gate. And, Sir, look, here comes Don _Lovis_. Enter _Lovis_ and _Alonzo_. _Hau._ Oh, Brother _Lovis_, where the Devil have you been all this Day? I stay'd for you to go with me to your Sister's, as long as Flesh and Blood could forbear. _Lov._ Why, have you been there without me? _Hau._ Yes, marry have I, Sir. _Alon._ I am undone then-- [Aside. _Hau._ I needed no Recommendation mun, for when I came they were all as well acquainted with me-- I never saw them before; but by the way, they are all no wiser than they should be, except your Sister, who is the pretty'st loving, sweet Rogue-- _Alon._ How's this? _Lov._ But have you seen my Sister? _Hau._ Seen her! yes, and will marry her too mun before Night, an she were a thousand Sisters-- but harkye, _Lovis_, the business is this-- you must know that before I marry her, I am to seek out a certain Fellow, they call-- they call _Alonzo_, ay, ay, _Alonzo_-- a Pox on him, a troublesome Rascal they say he is; and his leave, it seems, must be askt to marry your Sister. _Lov._ Well, Sir, and what if he will not give you leave? _Hau._ Why then, you must know I am to get him very well favour'dly beaten. _Alon._ Sure this is the Coxcomb himself. _Hau._ Now for your Sister's sake, who loves me, poor thing, I will not run the danger of beating him my self, but must desire that small courtesy of thee. _Lov._ How! I beat him? _Hau._ You beat him, yes, you; what a Pox do you scruple such a kindness to a Friend? I know you make no more of killing a Man next your Heart in a Morning, than I do of eating a pickled Herring. _Lov._ But she desir'd you to do't. _Hau._ That's all one so it be done, mun; besides, why should I run my self into a Premunire, when I need not? Your Father is bound by Agreement to mine, to deliver me the Wares (that is, his Daughter) safe and sound; and I have no more to do, but to protest against him in case of Non-performance. 'Twill be a dear Commodity to me at this rate. [Cries. _Lov._ Well, Sir, I'll see what may be done. _Hau._ Spoke like a Friend now: Well, you must about it instantly, for I must be married to day. _Alon._ Must you so, Sir?-- _Hau._ Yes marry must I,
