tisfaction. _Des._ Ah, do, Mr. _Ananias_, do, for she's a good and virtuous Lady, _certo_ she is. [Ana. goes close to the Bed-post, and speaks over his Shoulder. _Ana._ Get ye behind my Cloak-- _L. Des._ Indeed, Sir, your Counsel and Assistance is very comfortable. _Ana._ We should be Help-meets to one another, Madam. _Des._ Alack, good Man! [L. _Des._ goes to coax her Husband. _L. Des._ Ay, my dear, I am so much oblig'd to him, that I know not, without thy Aid, how to make him amends. _Free._ So, this is the first Cloak of Zeal I ever made use of.
