L. Ful. How now, Cousin! Is this high piece of Gallantry from you? Bea. Ay, Madam, I have not travel'd for nothing L. Ful. I find my Cousin is resolv'd to conquer, he assails with all his Artillery of Charms; we'll leave him to his success, Madam. Leticia and L. Fulbank. Bea. Go, salute her look how he stands now; what a sneaking thing is a Fellow who has never travel'd and seen the World!
Cowley was ashamed to advance a direct lie, but she was not ashamed to insinuate a falsehood A Naeuio uel sumpsisti multa, si fateris; uel, si negas surripuisti Cicero. The strictures of our stage historian are entirely apposite and correct. Henry, Don Gasper and Antonia of the Georgian comedy are none other but Bellmour, Sir Feeble, and Leticia.
Sure my good Angel, or my Genius, In pity of my Love, and of Leticia But see Leticia comes, but still attended Enter Leticia, Lady Fulbank, Diana. L. Ful. I was sick to know with what Christian Patience you bore the Martyrdom of this Night. Let. As those condemn'd bear the last Hour of Life. Dia. Let. And so do I, I fear he has undone me Dia. And me, in breaking of his word with Bredwel L. Ful.
It must be so: I must moil on in the damn'd dirty Road, And sure such Pay will make the Journey easy: And for the Price of the dull drudging Night, All Day I'll purchase new and fresh Delight. SCENE II. Sir Feeble's House. Enter Leticia, pursu'd by Phillis. Phil. Why, Madam, do you leave the Garden, For this retreat to Melancholy? Let.
Let me see here is the Watch, I took it up to keep for him but his sending has inspir'd me with a sudden Stratagem, that will do better than Force, to secure the poor trembling Leticia who, I am sure, is dying with her Fears. Enter to them Sir Feeble Fainwou'd. Sir Feeb. What's here? what's here? the prating Women still. Ods bobs, what, not in Bed yet? for shame of Love, Leticia. Let.
The next morning Lady Fulbank discovers the trick which has been played upon her and rates both her husband and lover soundly. Bellmour and Leticia arriving throw themselves on her protection. Sir Feeble and Sir Cautious are at length obliged to acquiesce in the existing state of things and to resign their ladies to their two gallants.
Is't possible, Leticia, thou wou'dst fly To foreign Shores with me? Let. Can Bellmour doubt the Soul he knows so well? Bel. Perhaps in time the King may find my Innocence, and may extend his Mercy: Mean time I'll make provision for our Flight. Let. But how 'twixt this and that can I defend My self from the loath'd Arms of an impatient Dotard, That I may come a spotless Maid to thee? Bel.
When this unequal Marriage Gave me from all my Joys, gave me from Bellmour; Your Wings were flag'd, your Torches bent to Earth, And all your little Bonnets veil'd your Eyes; You saw not, or were deaf and pitiless. Bel. Oh my Leticia! Let. Hah, 'tis there again; that very voice was Bellmour's: Where art thou, Oh thou lovely charming Shade? For sure thou canst not take a Shape to fright me. Bel.
Who of this City-Privilege are free, Hope to be paid for Cuckoldom like me; Th'unthriving Merchant, whom gray Hair adorns, Before all Ventures wou'd ensure his Horns; For thus, while he but lets spare Rooms to hire, His Wife's cracked Credit keeps his own entire. SCENE I. Sir Cautious his House. Enter Bellmour alone, sad. Bel. The Night is come, oh my Leticia!
Bellmour has meanwhile revealed himself to Leticia, who is plunged in despair at the nuptials. Lady Fulbank, who is present, greets Gayman and asks him to give her an assignation in the garden, but he excuses himself in order to keep his prior appointment, and she leaves him in dissembled anger.
