y thy Goodness? _Lov._ You have already by your noble Bounty, Made me a Fortune, had I nothing else; All which I render back, with all that Wealth Heaven and my Parents left me: Which, tho unjustly now detain'd from me, Will once again be mine, and then be yours. Enter _Free._ _Free._ Come, haste, the Rabble gather round the House, And swear they'll have this Sorceress. _Lov._ Let me loose among 'em, their rude officious Honesty must be punish'd. _L. Lam._ Oh, let me out, do not expose thy Person to their mad Rage, rather resign the Victim. [Holds him. _Lov._ Resign thee! by Heaven, I think I shou'd turn Rebel first. Enter La. _Des._ disguised, and _Tom_ with Jewels in a Box. _L. Des._ With much ado, according to thy direction, dear _Freeman_, I have pass'd the Pikes, my House being surrounded; and my Husband demanded, fell down dead with fear. _Free._ How, thy Husband dead! _L. Des._ Dead as old _Oliver_, and much ado I got off with these Jewels, the Rabble swore I was one of the Party; and had not the honest Corporal convinc'd em, I had been pull'd to pieces.-- Come, haste away, Madam, we shall be roasted with the Rump else. _L. Lam._ Adieu, dear Mansion! whose rich gilded Roofs so oft put me in mind of Majesty-- And thou, my Bed of State, where my soft Slumbers have presented me with Diadems and Scepters-- when waking I have stretch'd my greedy Arms to grasp the vanish'd Phantom! ah, adieu! and all my hopes of _Royalty_ adieu.-- _Free._ And dare you put your self into my Protection? Well, if you do, I doubt you'll never be your own Woman again. _L. Des._ No matter, I'm better lost than found on such occasions. [Exeunt. SCENE V. _A Street; a great Bonfire, with Spits, and Rumps roasting, and the Mobile about the Fire, with Pots, Bottles, Fiddles._ _1 Pren._ Here, _Jack_, a Health to the King. _2 Pren._ Let it pass, Lad, and next to the noble General. _1 Pren._ _Ralph_, baste the Rump well, or ne'er hope to see a King agen. _3 Pren._ The Rump will baste it self, it has been well cram'd. Enter _Freeman_, L. _Des._ _Loveless_, and L. _Lam._ _Gill._ _Tom_, Pages, &c. _Cap._ Hah, Noble Champion, faith, Sir, you must honour us so far as to drink the King's Health, and the noble General's, before you go.
