f Fame and Life,
And then what dearer was,--his Wife_.
[_Goes out, shaking his Torch at him_.
Sir _Cau_. Oh Lord--oh Lord!
_Enter L_. Fulbank _in an undress, and_ Pert _undrest.
L. _Ful_. Heavens, what noise is this?--So he's got safe out I see--hah,
what thing art thou? [_Sees Sir _Feeble_ arm'd_.
Sir _Feeb_. Stay, Madam, stay--'tis I, a poor trembling Mortal.
L. _Ful_. Sir _Feeble Fainwou'd!_--rise,--are you both mad?
Sir _Cau_. No, no,--Madam, we have seen the Devil.
Sir _Feeb_. Ay, and he was as tall as the Monument.
Sir _Cau_. With Eyes like a Beacon--and a Mouth,--Heaven bless us, like
_London_ Bridge at a full Tide.
Sir _Feeb_. Ay, and roar'd as loud.
L. _Ful_. Idle Fancies, what makes you from your Bed? and you, Sir, from
your Bride?
_Enter_ Dick _with Sack_.
Sir _Feeb_. Oh! that's the business of another day, a mistake only,
Madam.
L. _Ful_. Away, I'm asham'd to see wise Men so weak; the Fantoms of the
Night, or your own Shadows, the Whimseys of the Brain for want of Rest,
or perhaps _Bredwel_, your Man--who being wiser than his Master, play'd
you this Trick to fright you both to Bed.
Sir _Feeb_. Hum--adod, and that may be, for the young Knave when he let
me in to Night, was drest up for some Waggery--
Sir _Cau_. Ha, ha, ha, 'twas even so, sure enough, Brother--
Sir _Feeb_. Ads bobs, but they frighted me at first basely--but I'll
home to Pupsey, there may be Roguery, as well as here--Madam, I ask your
Pardon, I see we're all mistaken.
L. _Ful_. Ay, Sir _Feeble_, go home to your Wife.
[_Ex. severally_.
SCENE VI. _The Street_.
_Enter_ Bellmour _at the door, knocks, and enter to him
from the House_, Phillis.
_Phil_. Oh, are you come, Sir? I'll call my Lady down.
_Bel_. Oh, haste, the Minutes fly--leave all behind.
And bring _Leticia_ only to my Arms.
[_A noise of People_.
--Hah, what noise is that? 'Tis coming this way,
I tremble with my fears--hah, Death and the Devil,
'Tis he--
_Enter Sir_ Feeble _and his Men arm'd, goes to the door, knocks_.
Ay, 'tis he, and I'm undone--what shall I do to kill him now? besides,
the Sin wou'd put me past all Hopes of pardoning.
Sir _Feeb_. A damn'd Rogue to deceive me thus.--
_Bel_. Hah--see, by Heaven _Leticia_, Oh, we are ruin'd!
Sir _Feeb_. Hum--what's here, two Women?--
