is Soul for that too.
_Chris._ I doubt 'twill be all laid out in _Bacon's_ mad Lieutenant
General _Daring_.
_Ran._ Faith, I think I could lend it the Rogue on good Security.
_Chris._ What's that, to be bound Body for Body?
_Ran._ Rather that he should love no body's Body besides my own; but my
fortune is too good to trust the Rogue, my Money makes me an Infidel.
_Chris._ You think they all love you for that.
_Ran._ For that, ay, what else? if it were not for that, I might sit
still and sigh, and cry out, a Miracle! a Miracle! at sight of a Man
within my Doors.
Enter _Maid_.
_Maid._ Madam, here's a young Gentleman without wou'd speak with you.
_Sure._ With me? sure thou'rt mistaken; is it not _Friendly_?
_Maid._ No, Madam, 'tis a Stranger.
_Ran._ 'Tis not _Daring_, that Rogue, is it?
_Maid._ No, Madam.
_Ran._ Is he handsome? does he look like a Gentleman?
_Maid._ He's handsome, and seems a Gentleman.
_Ran._ Bring him in then, I hate a Conversation without a

Enter _Hazard_ with a Letter.
_Sure._ With me, Sir, would you speak?

_Ran._ Please you to sit, Sir.

_Ran._ Oh, fie upon't, you must learn then, we all smoke here, 'tis a
part of good Breeding.--Well, well, what Cargo, what Goods have ye? any
Points, Lace, rich Stuffs, Jewels; if you have, I'll be your Chafferer,
I live hard by, any body will direct you to the Widow _Ranter's_.
_Haz._ I have already heard of you, Madam.
_Ran._ What, you are like all the young Fellows, the first thing they do
when they come to a strange Place, is to enquire what Fortunes there
are.
_Haz._ Madam, I had no such Ambition.
_Ran._ Gad, then you're a Fool, Sir; but come, my service to you; we
rich Widows are the best Commodity this Country affords, I'll tell you
that.
[This while _Sure._ reads the Letter.
_Sure._ Sir, my Husband has recommended you here in a most particular
manner, by which I do not only find the esteem he has for you, but the
