speaks in's Drink, the Lord have mercy upon us all.--Put it up--and let us, like loving Brothers, take an honest Resolution to run away together; for this same _Frightall_ minds nothing but Fighting. _Whim._ I'm content, provided we go all to the Council, and tell them (to make our Peace) we went in obedience to the Proclamation, to kill _Bacon_, but the Traitor was so strongly guarded we could not effect it: but mum--who's here?-- To them, enter _Ranter_ and _Jenny_, as Man and Footman. _Ran._ Hah, our four reverend Justices--I hope the Blockheads will not know me--Gentlemen, can you direct me to Lieutenant General _Daring's_ Tents? _Whiff._ Hum, who the Devil's this?--that's he you see coming this way. 'Sdeath, yonder's _Daring_--let's slip away before he advances. [Exeunt all but _Ran._ and _Jen._ _Jen._ I am scar'd with those dead Bodies we have pass'd over; for God's sake, Madam, let me know your design in coming. _Ran._ Why, now I tell thee--my damn'd mad Fellow _Daring_, who has my Heart and Soul, loves _Chrisante_, has stolen her, and carried her away to his Tents; she hates him, while I am dying for him. _Jem._ Dying, Madam!

Gad, I have known a Fellow kick'd from one end of the Town to t'other, believing himself a Coward; at last forced to fight, found he could; got a Reputation, and bullied all he met with; and got a Name, and a great Commission. _Jen._ But if he should kill you, Madam. _Ran._ I'll take care to make it as comical a Duel as the best of 'em; as much in love as I am, I do not intend to die its Martyr. Enter _Daring_ and _Fearless_. _Fear._ Have you seen _Chrisante_ since the Fight? _Dar._ Yes, but she is still the same, as nice and coy as Fortune when she's courted by the wretched; yet she denies me so obligingly, she keeps my Love still in its humble Calm. _Ran._ Can you direct me, Sir, to one _Daring's_ Tent? [Sullenly. _Dar._ One _Daring!_--he has another Epithet to his Name. _Ran._ What's that, Rascal, or Coward? _Dar._ Hah, whic
