or conspiracies are hatched against you, and a new Faux is preparing to blow up your happiness. _Limb._ What is the matter, landlady? Pr'ythee, speak good honest English, and leave thy canting. _Saint._ Verily, thy beloved is led astray, by the young man Woodall, that vessel of uncleanness: I beheld them communing together; she feigned herself sick, and retired to her tent in the garden-house; and I watched her out-going, and behold he followed her. _Pleas._ Do you stand unmoved, and hear all this? _Limb._ Before George, I am thunder-struck! _Saint._ Take to thee thy resolution, and avenge thyself. _Limb._ But give me leave to consider first: A man must do nothing rashly. _Pleas._ I could tear out the villain's eyes, for dishonouring you, while you stand considering, as you call it. Are you a man, and suffer this? _Limb._ Yes, I am a man; but a man's but a man, you know: I am recollecting myself, how these things can be. _Saint._ How they can be!
