shalt see Beauties here, whose every glance Kindle new Fires, and quite expel the old. _Clo._ Oh, never, Sir. _Fred._ When I was first in love, I thought so too, But now with equal ardour I doat upon each new and beauteous Object. _Clo._ And quite forget the old? _Fred._ Not so; but when I see them o'er again, I find I love them as I did before. _Clo._ Oh God forbid, I should be so inconstant! No, Sir, though she be false, she has my Heart, And I can die, but not redeem the Victim. _Fred._ Away, you little Fool, you make me sad By this resolve: but I'll instruct you better. _Clo._ I would not make you sad for all the World. Sir, I will sing, or dance, do any thing That may divert you. _Fred._ I thank thee, _Philibert_, and will accept Thy Bounty; perhaps it may allay thy Griefs awhile too. _Clo._ I'll call the Musick, Sir.
