t possible?
_Scar_. Most true, Sir, and that facilitates the Journey _per Viscera_.
--But I detain you, Sir;--another time, Sir,--I will now only beg the
Honour of a Word or two with the Governante, before I go.
_Doct_. Sir, she shall wait on you, and I shall be proud of the Honour
of your Conversation.
[_Ex_. Doctor.
_Enter to him_ Harlequin, _dress'd like a Farmer, as before_.
_Har_. Hum--What have we here, a Taylor or a Tumbler?
_Scar_. Ha--Who's this?--Hum--What if it shou'd be the Farmer that the
Doctor has promis'd _Mopsophil_ to? My Heart misgives me.
[_They look at each other a while_.
Who wou'd you speak with, Friend?
_Har_. This is, perhaps, my Rival the Apothecary.--Speak with, Sir! why,
what's that to you?
_Scar_. Have you Affairs with Seignor Doctor, Sir?
_Har_. It may be I have, it may be I have not. What then, Sir?
_While they seem in angry Dispute, enter_ Mopsophil.
_Mop_. Seignior Doctor tells me I have a Lover waits me, sure it must be
the Farmer or the Apothecary. No matter which, so a Lover that welcomest
Man alive. I am resolv'd to take the first good Offer, though but in
revenge of _Harlequin_ and _Scaramouch_, for putting Tricks upon me.
--Ha,--Two of 'em!
_Scar_. My Mistress here!
[_They both bow, and advance, putting each other by_.
_Mop_. Hold, Gentlemen,--do not worry me. Which of you wou'd speak
with me?
_Both_. I, I, I, Madam--
_Mop_. Both of you?
_Both_. No, Madam, I, I.
_Mop_. If both Lovers, you are both welcome; but let's have fair Play,
and take your turns to speak.
_Har_. Ay, Seignior, 'tis most uncivil to interrupt me.
_Scar_. And disingenuous, Sir, to intrude on me.
[_Putting one another by_.
_Mop_. Let me then speak first.
_Har_. I'm dumb.
_Scar_. I acquiesce.
_Mop_. I was inform'd there was a Person here had Propositions of
Marriage to make me.
_Har_. That's I, that's I--
[_Shoves_ Scar. _away_.
_Scar_. And I attend to that consequential _Finis_.
[_Shoves_ Har. _away_.
_Har_. I know not what you mean by your Finis, Seignior; but I am come
to offer my self this Gentlewoman's Servant, her Lover, her Husband, her
Dog in a Halter, or any thing.
_Scar_. Him I pronounce a Paltroon, and an ignominious Utensil, that
dare lay claim to the reno
