That would have married her in his stead, and carried her away, if I had not prevented them. Whether it be a shadow or a ghost, that haunts him in his own proper form, I know not, but there he comes again. Why, how now son Dotario, you have made haste to beget one so like you already. O sir, 'tis I am cheated, gulled, and abused, and which is worse, by one that says he is myself too. Why what are you? O sir I am that old Gentleman, that should have married your daughter, and there's an Asmodeus, a devil in my habit, that has beguiled me of her. Come sir uncase, yourself; 'tis no glory for you to lurk any longer under the person of such a wretch. Who is here, my Nephew Careless? nay then 'tis ten times worse than I thought of: my disgrace will be as common as Conduit water, the very Tankard-bearers will mock at me, I shall be made their laughter at Taverns, the table talk at Ordinaries. Nay good Uncle do not think so ill of me, a brace of thousands shall chain up my tongue, that you may live as concealed as you please. O sir you have proved yourself to be a fine Companion. Nay hold up your head sir, this was your device, your master piece of wit, and valour? nay you may brag of it, the credit belongs to you. Crotchet I would thou wert a post, that I might beat out my brains against thee. Save you Gentlemen. Look you sir; here's the Doctor, and your daughter already. Well there's some comfort yet to make amends for the rest. Come down on your knees sir. How now what are you? Lately the Doctor, but now your son Aurelio. What more gulleries yet? they have cozened me of my daughters, I hope they will cheat me of my wife too: have you any more of these tricks to show, ha? No more sir, if we may obtain your favour for these, and think good sir what love may do; you have been young yourself. Troth and so I have, and been as waggish as the best of you. Well Master Dotario, what shall we do? the boys have out stripped us, there's now no remedy, and my affection relents. So does mine too, and I would do any thing, if I might be freed of this ignominy, that it might not be known what a fool this love has made of me. I'll undertake for that sir if you will yield to a motion. Any thing upon these terms. Then thus: you are rich, and your Nephew Aurelio here is poor, yet he was borne to an inheritance; now do you but confer something presently upon him, and assure him the rest after your death, and I'll promise they shall observe you with as much obsequiousness, as you desire.
