Enter Trusty and Diana. Lord. Look ye here, Frank; Is this a Lady to be dislik'd? Come hither, Frank Trusty, haste for Dr. Dia. Lord. And you, Frank, will you marry my Niece Diana? Bel. Since you will have it so. Lord. Come, follow me then, and you shall be both pleas'd. Bel. Oh my Celinda! To preserve thee, what is't I wou'd not do? Forfeit my Heaven, nay more, I forfeit you.
All these circumstances had been duly weighed by our projector, who, having prepared Celinda for his purpose, stole at midnight from his apartment, which was in another storey, and approaching her door, there uttered a piteous groan; then softly retired to his bed, in full confidence of seeing next day the effect of this operation. Nor did his arrow miss the mark.
That Friendship which our Infant Years begun, And till this Day has still continued on, I will preserve; and my Respects shall be Profound, as what was ever paid by me: But for my Love, 'tis to Celinda due, And I can pay you none that's just and true. Dia. Bel. My Honour! and my Reputation, now!
Spoke like a well-bred Person, by Fortune: I see there's hopes of thee, Celinda; thou wilt in time learn to make a very fashionable Wife, having so much Beauty too. I see Attracts, and Allurements, wanton Eyes, the languishing turn of the Head, and all That invites to Temptation. Cel. Would that please you in a Wife? Sir Tim. Please me!
Can I endure to see the Traytor there, who must to morrow rob me of my Heaven? I'll own my Flame and boldly tell this Fop, she must be mine Friend. I assure you, Sir Timothy, I am sorry, and will chastise her. Sir Tim. Ay, Sir, I that am a Knight a Man of Parts and Wit, and one that is to be your Brother, and design'd to be the Glory of marrying Celinda. Bel.
And first she learned where bold Gazul was entertained that day, And they told her how his coming had put off the tilters' play, And at her pleasure-house she bade him meet her face to face; And they told him how Celinda longed for his loved embrace, And thrice he asked the messenger if all were not a jest, For oft 'tis dangerous to believe the news we love the best, For lovers' hopes are often thorns of rancor and unrest.
"Do not talk so, sir; do not talk so, Scythrop! What would you have?" "I would have my love." "And pray, sir, who is your love?" "Celinda Marionetta either both." "Both! That may do very well in a German tragedy, but it will not do in Lincolnshire. Will you have Miss Toobad?" "Yes." "And renounce Marionetta?" "No." "But you must renounce one." "I cannot." "And you cannot have both.
Nur. Very fine! Cel. There we wou'd practise such degrees of Love, Such lasting, innocent, unheard of Joys, As all the busy World should wonder at, And, amidst all their Glories, find none such. Nur. Good lack! how prettily Love teaches his Scholars to prattle. But hear ye, fair Mrs. Celinda, you have forgot to what end and purpose you came to Town; not to marry Mr.
And was it thou that didst defend my Heart, That I might live to pay thy Goodness back? Cel. It was to save your Life, and to expose my own. Dia. Come, let's in, and consult what's best for us to do. Bel. Come, my Celinda. Let us no longer doubt, the Pow'rs above Will be propitious to united Love. Cel. Enter Servant. Serv. Sir, my Lord Plotwell is at the Door in his Coach. Dia. My Uncle come!
Not I, Sir. Sir Tim. What, not that I am to marry your Sister Celinda? Friend. Not at all. Bel. Friend. My Sister, Sir, is very nice. Sir Tim. That's all one, Sir, the old People have adjusted the matter, and they are the most proper for a Negotiation of that kind, which saves us the trouble of a tedious Courtship. Friend. That the old People have agreed the matter, is more than I know. Sir Tim.
