ike a Ponyard to my Soul;
do with me what you please, I am all Obedience.
Sir _Jeal._ Ha! then thou art my Child agen.
Sir _Geo._ 'Tis done, and now Friend the Day's thy own.
_Char._ The happiest of my Life, if nothing Intervene.
Sir _Jeal._ And wilt thou love him?
_Isab._ I will endeavour it, Sir.
_Enter Servant._
_Serv._ Sir, Here is Mr. _Tackum_.
Sir _Jeal._ Show him into the Parlour--_Senior tome vind sueipora; cete
Momenta les Junta les Manos._
(_Gives her to_ Charles.
_Char._ Oh! transport--_Senior yo la recibo Como se deve un Tesoro tan
Grande._ Oh! my Joy, my Life, my Soul.
(_Embrace._
_Isab._ My Faithful everlasting Comfort.
Sir _Jeal._ Now, Mr. _Meanwell_ let's to the Parson,
_Who, by his Art will join this Pair for Life,_
_Make me the happiest Father, her the happiest Wife._
(_Exit._
SCENE Changes to the Street before Sir _Jealous_'s Door.
_Enter _Marplot_, Solus._
_Marpl._ I have hunted all over the Town for _Charles_, but can't find
him; and by _Whisper_'s scouting at the End of the Street, I suspect he
must be in this House again. I'm inform'd too that he has borrow'd a
_Spanish_ Habit out of the _Play-house_. What can it mean?
_Enter a Servant of Sir _Jealous_'s to him, out of the House._
Hark'e, Sir, do you belong to this House?
_Serv._ Yes, Sir.
_Marpl._ Pray can you tell if there be a Gentleman in it in _Spanish_
Habit?
_Serv._ There is a _Spanish_ Gentleman within, that is just a going to
marry my young Lady, Sir.
_Marpl._ Are you sure he is a _Spanish_ Gentleman?
_Serv._ I'm sure he speaks no _English_, that I hear of.
_Marpl._ Then that can't be him I want; for 'tis an _English_ Gentleman,
tho' I suppose he may be dress'd like a _Spaniard_, that I enquire
after.
_Serv._ Ha! who knows but this may be an Impostor? I'll inform my
Master; for if he shou'd be impos'd upon, he'll beat us all round.
(_Aside._) Pray, come in, Sir, and see if this be the Person you enquire
for.
SCENE Changes to the Inside the House.
_Enter _Marplot_._
_Marpl._ So, this was a good Contrivance: If this be _Charles_, now will
he wonder how I found him out.
_Enter Servant and _Jealous_._
Sir _Jeal._ What is your earnest Business, Blockhead, that you must
speak with me before the Ceremony's past? Ha! who's this?
_Serv._ Why this Gentleman, Sir, wants another Gentleman in _Spanish_
Habit, he says.
Sir _Jeal._ In _Spanish_ Habit!
