A little room for Life--but such a Life As Hell it self shall wonder at--I'll have a care To do no one good deed in the whole course on't, Lest that shou'd save my Soul in spite of Vow-breach. --I will not die--that Peace my Sins deserve not. I'll live and let my Tyrant Uncle see The sad effects of Perjury, and forc'd Marriage. --Surely the Pow'rs above envy'd my Bliss; Marrying _Celinda_, I had been an Angel, So truly blest, and good. [_Weeps_. Sir _Tim_. Why, how now, _Frank_--by Fortune, the Rogue is Maudlin--So, ho, ho, so ho. _Bel_. The matter? Sir _Tim_. Oh, art awake--What a Devil ail'st thou, _Frank_? _Bel_. A Wench, or any thing--come, let's drink a round. _Sham_. They're come as wisht for. _Enter_ Flauntit, Driver, Doll _and_ Jenny _mask'd_. _Bel_. Oh, damn 'em! What shall I do? Yet it would look like Virtue to avoid 'em. No, I must venture on--Ladies, y'are welcome. Sir _Tim_. How, the Women?--Hold, hold, _Bellmour_, let me choose too-- Come, come, unmask, and shew your pretty Faces. _Flaunt_. How, Sir _Timothy_! What Devil ow'd me a spite. [_Aside_. Sir _Tim_. Come, unmask, I say: a willing Wench would have shew'd all in half this time. _Flaunt_. Wou'd she so, Impudence! [_Pulls off her Mask_. Sir _Tim_. How, my _Betty_! _Flaunt_. This is the Trade you drive, you eternal Fop, when I sit at home expecting you Night after Night. Sir _Tim_. Nay, dear Betty! _Flaunt_. 'Tis here you spend that which shou'd buy me Points and Petticoats, whilst I go like no body's Mistress; I'd as live be your Wife at this rate, so I had: and I'm in no small danger of getting the foul Disease by your Leudness. Sir _Tim_. Victorious _Betty_, be merciful, and do not ruin my Reputation amongst my Friends. _Flaunt_. Your Whores you mean, you Sot you. Sir _Tim_. Nay, triumphant _Betty_, hear thy poor _Timmy_. _Flaunt_. My poor _Ninny_, I'm us'd barbarously, and won't endure it. Sir _Tim_. I've won Money to Night, _Betty_, to buy thee Clothes--hum --hum--Well said, _Frank_, towse the little Jilts, they came for that purpose. _Flaunt_. The Devil confound him, what a Prize have I lost by his being here--my Comfort is, he has not found me out though, but thinks I came to look for him, and accordingly I must dissemble. _Bel_. What's here? A Lady all in Tears! Sir _Tim_. An old Acquaintance of mine, that takes it unkindly that I am for Change--_Bett
