y_, and brought her to _Ned's_ Chamber here--to marry her. Sir _Feeb_. My Daughter _Dy_ stoln-- _Bea_. But I being to go to the Devil a little, Sir, whip--what does he, but marries her himself, Sir; and fob'd me off here with my Lady's cast Petticoat-- _Noi_. Sir, she's a Gentlewoman, and my Sister, Sir. _Pert_. Madam, 'twas a pious Fraud, if it were one; for I was contracted to him before--see, here it is-- [_Gives it 'em_. _All_. A plain Case, a plain Case. Sir _Feeb_. Harkye, Sir, have you had the Impudence to marry my Daughter, Sir? [_To_ Bredwel, _who with_ Diana _kneels_. _Bred_. Yes, Sir, and humbly ask your Pardon, and your Blessing-- Sir _Feeb_. You will ha't, whether I will or not--rise, you are still too hard for us: Come, Sir, forgive your Nephew-- Sir _Cau_. Well, Sir, I will--but all this while you little think the Tribulation I am in, my Lady has forsworn my Bed. Sir _Feeb_. Indeed, Sir, the wiser she. Sir _Cau_.

L. _Ful_. No, Sir--you do not like me--a canvas Bag of wooden Ladles were a better Bed-fellow. _Gay_. Cruel Tormenter! Oh, I could kill myself with shame and anger! L. _Ful_. Come hither, _Bredwel_--witness for my Honour--that I had no design upon his Person, but that of trying his Constancy. _Bred_. Believe me, Sir, 'tis true--I feigned a danger near--just as you got to bed--and I was the kind Devil, Sir, that brought the Gold to you. _Bea_. And you were one of the Devils that beat me, and the Captain here, Sir? _Gay_. No truly, Sir, those were some I hired--to beat you for abusing me to day. _Noi_. To make you 'mends, Sir, I bring you the certain News of the death of Sir _Thomas Gayman_, your Uncle, who has left you Two thousand pounds a year-- _Gay_. I thank you, Sir--I heard the news before. Sir _Cau_. How's this; Mr. _Gayman_, my Lady's first Lover? I find, Sir _Feeble_, we were a couple of old Fools indeed, to think at our Age to coze
