'Twere better that my Life were lost, than Fortune For that being gone, Celinda must not love me. I'll kill my self but then I kill Celinda. Shou'd I obey this Tyrant then too she dies. Lord. Was I call'd back for this? Bel. Yet, stay, Sir Have you lost all Humanity? Have you no Sense of Honour, nor of Horrors? Lord. Away with him go, be gone. Bel. Stay, Sir. Oh, God! what is't you'd have me do?
In about a Fortnight, my Wound was thoroughly cured, and I begg'd of Captain Thomas to let me be directed to the next Plantation. He promis'd I shou'd, as, soon as he could do it with Safety.

Most true, Seignior; why shou'd not the Cavaliers keep Filles de Chambre, as well as great Ladies Valets de Chambre? Doct. Indeed 'tis equally reasonable. But have you never serv'd Ladies? Har. Oh yes, I serv'd a Parson's Wife? Doct. Is that a great Lady? Har.
But if that Mortal shou'd be Elaria! but no more, I dare not yet suppose it perhaps the thing was real and no Dream, for oftentimes the grosser part is hurried away in Sleep by the force of Imagination, and is wonderfully agitated This Fellow might be present in his Sleep, of this we've frequent Instances I'll to my Daughter and my Niece, and hear what Knowledge they may have of this. Mop.
Enter Scaramouch, peeping on all sides before he enters. You may advance, and fear none but your Friends. Scar. Away, and keep the door. Ela. Oh, dear Scaramouch! hast thou been at the Vice-Roy's? Scar. Ela. And hast thou delivered my Letter to his Nephew, Don Cinthio? Scar. Yes, yes, what should I deliver else? Ela. Well and how does he? Scar. Lord, how should he do? Ela. Why, well he shou'd do.

Set down the Chest behind yon hedge of Roses and then put on those Shapes I have appointed you and be sure you well-favour'dly bang both Bearjest and Noisey, since they have a mind to see the Devil. Rag. Oh, Sir, leave 'em to us for that; and if we do not play the Devil with 'em, we deserve they shou'd beat us. But, Sir, we are in Sir Cautious his Garden, will he not sue us for a Trespass? Gay.
If you hook but one of them, all the rest are upon your Back, and you can't expose his Vices without being an Enemy to the Church: And in this, Priests of all Religions are the same.
