And who then that had any serious concern for the Glory of God, or the welfare of Men in this life or the next, wou'd not stop and consider a while with themselves, how far they shou'd give any countenance to such Recreations, as tend to disturb even the best of their present Enjoyments and Peace, and lead to extreme Despair in the End?
Sir Cau. My Business, with whom? Sir Feeb. With me, Sir, with me; what a Pox do you think I do here? Sir Cau. 'Tis that I wou'd be glad to know, Sir. Enter Dick. Sir Feeb. Here, Dick, remember I've brought back your Master's Watch; next time he sends for me o'er Night, I'll come to him in the Morning. Sir Cau. Ha, ha, ha, I send for you!
None e're condemned a project that was no charge to him; therefore to be true to his interests, we engag'd in an oath before we wou'd discover the cheat to suffer ten thousand racks; and thus like free-born gladiators selling our liberty, we religiously devoted both soul and body to our new master.
Nay, Sir, you promis'd me you wou'd not blame My early Love, if 'twere a noble Flame. Org. Er. Org. Erminia, you are wondrous daring grown. Where got you courage to admit his Love, Before the King or I did it approve? Er. I borrow'd Courage from my Innocence, And my own Virtue, Sir, was my defence.
Durfey with too much Delight, because we must not set our Affection on things below, yet I wou'd pardon any who wou'd read him only to forewarn others of the Danger. 'Tis a Misfortune to have good Poets stand in need of Assistance; but 'tis very much aggravated when they are deny'd it.
"No, sir," said she, "I have commands to you; but because you know what you can do, you're proud; and if a lady wou'd receive a favour from you, I see she must buy it: For to what end are all those allurements, forsooth? the curl'd hair, the complexion advanc'd by a wash, and the wanton roll of your eyes, the study'd air of your gate? unless by shewing your parts, to invite a purchaser?
Till Night, no; whate'er it be, I wou'd not be without an Inch of that Ceremony, that may compleat my Honour for the World; no, for Heaven's sake, let's retire, and dub me presently. Guil. Time enough, time enough. Isa. You love me not, that can deny me this. Guil. Love no, we are married now, and People of our Quality never Love after Marriage; 'tis not great. Isa.
Was there nothing ill in the Representations themselves, yet there is so much of that by agreement of All, in the Vain Behaviour of those that are there; that they must needs be very fond of a Play, that can bring themselves to sit often and long in such Company for it. And yet one wou'd think sufficient care had been taken by those on the Stage, to heighten and please the most vicious Tast.
I wou'd have no Body now pretend to scandalize the Writer of this Letter, which being for the Gallunarians, for no Man in the Moon had more Aversion for them than he, but he would have had the War carry'd on upon a right Bottom, Justice and Honesty regarded in it, and as he said often, they had no need to go out of the Road of Justice, for had they made War in the great Eagle's Name all had been well.
I wear a Sword, and I dare right my self; And Heaven wou'd pardon it, if I should kill you: But Heav'n forbid I shou'd correct that Law, Which gives you Power, and orders me Obedience. Lord. Very well, Sir, I shall tame that Courage, and punish that Harlot, whoe'er she be, that has seduc'd ye. Bel. How, Harlot, Sir!
