he Money; and then for Clothes, Jewels, and rich Furniture, and eating, they out-do the very _Vice-Reine_ her self. _Doct_. This is a very ignorant running Baud,--therefore first search her for _Billets-Doux_, and then have her pump'd. _Har_. Ah, Seignior,--Seignior. [Scar. _searches him, finds Letters_. _Scar_. Ha, to _Elaria_--and _Bellemante_! [_Reads the Outside, pops 'em into his Bosom_. These are from their Lovers.--Ha, a Note to _Mopsophil_.--Oh, Rogue! have I found you? _Har_.
