ispleasure, and run away with the Man you love? _Dia_. With all my Soul-- _Bea_. That's hearty--and we'll do it--_Ned_ and I here--and I love an Amour with an Adventure in't like _Amadis de Gaul_--Harkye, _Ned_, get a Coach and six ready to night when 'tis dark, at the back Gate-- _Bred_. And I'll get a Parson ready in my Lodging, to which I have a Key through the Garden, by which we may pass unseen. _Bea_.
