ife, when he had a hundred and fifty besides, and was past the use of one of 'em. _Col._ Were you never at _Virginia_ and _Barbadoes_? _Nick._ _Virginia_ and _Barbadoes_, Collonel, I never did any thing to deserve Transportation; perhaps, when the War's over, some of your Livery that have been us'd to Plundering abroad, and can't leave it off here, may after a Ride or two to _Finchly Common_ have occasion to visit the Plantations. I own I have Correspondents at _Barbadoes_, now and then, to import a little Citron Water for Ladies that have a Coldness at their Stomach, and a Parcel of _Oroonoko_ Tobacco, to oblige some West Country Countesses. L. _Rod._ Is not that my Lady _Toss-up?_ I shou'd hardly have known her, but by her down-right English Air--why no body minds her--Sir _Harry_, give the Lady a Pinch of sweet Snuff.--[_Aside_.] She's horridly concern'd at my Attractions, yet too proud to shew it, and looks as disconsolately gay, as a Maid of Thirty at the Wedding of her youngest Sister; how I love to mortify these Creatures.

Tis much then your Ladyship shou'd encourage Art or Travel, where Nature has bestow'd the largest Share, but I wonder not a Lady shou'd be so studious to accomplish her self who so fondly permits a Crowd of Followers. L. _Rod_. A Lady, Madam, is seldom concern'd at another's Followers, but when she laments the loss of 'em her self, and if the Fops that flutter about me, give you any Disorder, I can easily resign 'em to your Ladyship. L. _Toss_. By no means, Madam, that wou'd be to rob your Ladyship's Cozen, there, who is equally entitul'd to your Cast off Lovers, and your old Cloths. Mrs. _Lov_. Her Ladyship's Cozen, Madam, wou'd no more accept of any Lady's old Cloths, than of your Ladyship's Face. L. _Toss_. Nay, Madam, if her Ladyship's a'ground, your Face may put both Sexes out o'Countenance. [_Exeunt Lady_ Toss-up, _and Mrs._ Flimsy. L. Rod. _Tho' minor Beauties at a_ V
