we know her. _Chris._ Upon my Life, 'tis true. _Dar._ Widow, I have a shreud Suspicion, that you your self may be this dying Lady. _Ran._ Why so, Coxcomb? _Dar._ Because you took such Pains to put your self into my hands. _Ran._ Gad, if your Heart were but half so true as your Guess, we should conclude a Peace before _Bacon_ and the Council will--besides, this thing whines for _Friendly_, and there's no hopes. [To _Chrisante_. _Dar._ Give me thy Hand, Widow, I am thine--and so entirely, I will never--be drunk out of thy Company:--_Dunce_ is in my Tent,--prithee let's in and bind the Bargain. _Ran._ Nay, faith, let's see the Wars at an end first. _Dar._ Nay, prithee take me in the humour, while thy Breeches are on--for I never lik'd thee half so well in Petticoats. _Ran._ Lead on, General, you give me good incouragement to wear them.

[They advance. _Friend._ They approach directly to us, we cannot escape them--their numbers are not great--let us advance. [They come up to them. _Tim._ Oh! I am annihilated. _Whiff._ Some of _Frightall's_ Scouts, we are lost Men. [They push each other foremost. _Friend._ Who goes there? _Whim._ Oh, they'll give us no Quarter; 'twas long of you, Cornet, that we ran away from our Colours. _Tim._ Me--'twas the Major's Amb
