's here? The fine Squire? [_Aside_. _Trust_. Sir _Timothy Tawdry_, Sir, is married to Mrs. _Phillis_. Sir _Tim_. How can that be a Marriage, when he who join'd us, was but a hired Fellow, dress'd like a Parson? _Trust_. Sir, 'twas Parson _Tickletext_ that marry'd 'em. Sir _Tim_. Oh, what a damn'd lying Pimp is this!--_Sham_, didst thou not hire a Fellow, (because I was damnably in Love, and in haste) to marry us, that was no Parson? _Sham_. Why, truly, Sir--I did go to hire such a one-- Sir _Tim_. Look ye there now. _Sham_. But you'd meet with none; and because you said you shou'd die if you enjoy'd her not presently, and that she would not yield on any other Terms, but those of Marriage, I e'en brought the Parson that _Trusty_ had provided for you. Sir _Tim_. Oh Villain, to betray me! and for no Reward! _Trust_. Yes, indeed, Sir, the four hundred Guineas you left behind my young Mistress's Looking-glass fell to his share. Sir _Tim_. What's my Money gone! and I am marry'd too! This 'tis not to use to go to Church; for then I might have chanc'd to know the Parson. _Bel_. Death, you Dog! you deserve to die, for your base Designs upon a Maid of her Quality--How durst you, Sister, without my leave, marry that Rascal? _Phil_. Sir, you deny'd me my Portion, and my Uncle design'd to turn me out of doors, and in my Despair I accepted of him. _Flaunt_. Married! and to a Wife of no Fortune! that's the worst part on't--what shall I do? _Bel_. Renounce this leud Fool, and I'll make thee a Fortune suitable to thy Quality. Sir _Tim_. Say you so?--Renounce me, Sir! I'd have you to know I merit her: And as for Leudness, I name no body, _Bellmour_--but only some have the Art of hiding it better than I--but for Whoring, Drinking, Dicing, and all the deadly Sins that thereupon depend, I thank my Stars, I come short of you: And since you say, I shall not have your Sister, by Fortune, I will have your Sister, and love your Sister, and lie with your Sister, inspite of you. _Lord_. Well, Sir _Timothy_, since my Niece has done amiss, 'tis too late to mend it--and that you may not repent, I'll take care her Fortune shall be suitable to the Jointure you'll make her. _Bel_. With this Proviso, that you make no Settlement to Misses, Sir _Timothy_--I am not so unreasonable to tie you up from all of that Profession; that were to spoil a fashionable Husband, and so put you quite out of Fop-road. _Lord_.
