We are met indeed, Sir thank you for your music. It is not so much worth. I made you merry Master Bridegroom. I could not choose but laugh. Be there any races here. Yes Sir horse and foot. You'll give me leave to take my Course then. This is the Captain that did Dance. Not so nimbly as your wit, pray let men ask you a question. I hear that gentlewoman's married. Married without question Sir. D'ee think he has been aforehand. How d'ee mean. In English has he played the forward gamester And turned up trump. Before the Cards be shuffled? I lay my life you mean a coat Card Deal again, you gave one to many In the last trick, yet I'll tell thee what I think. What? I think she and you might ha' shown more wit. Why she and I? She to ha' kept herself a Widow, and You not to have asked me such a foolish question, But if she had been half so wise, as in My conscience she is honest, you had missed That excellent occasion, to show Your notable skill in dancing, but it pleased The learned destinies to put things together, And so we separate. Fare ye well Mistress. Come hither, go to that gentleman Mr. Fairefeild. Prithee sweet heart who runs? An Irish and an English footman? Will they run this way? just before you, I must have a bet! Nay, nay you sha'not leave me. Do it discreetly, I must speak to him, To ease my heart I shall burst else, we'll expect 'em here, Cousen, do they run naked? That were a most immodest sight. Here have been such fellows, Cousen. It would fright the women! Some are of opinion it brings us hither, Hark what a confusion of tongues there is, Let you and I venture a pair of Gloves Upon their feet, I'll take the Irish. 'tis done, but you shall pay if you lose. Here's my hand, you shall have the Gloves if you win. I think they are started. A Teag, A Teag, make way for shame. I hold any man forty pieces yet. A hundred pound to ten, a hundred pieces to ten, will No man take me? I hold you Sir. Well you shall see, a Teag a Teag heigh. Ha well run Irish. He may be in a Bog anon. Can they tell what they do in this Noise, Pray Heaven it do not break into the Tombs At Westminster, and wake the dead. She's yonder still, she thinks thee a new Mistress. I observe her. How go things Frank. Prithee observe that creature. She leers this way. I ha' done such a strange cure upon her, Sh'as sent for me, and I will entreat thee Frank To be a witness of my triumph, 'tis Now in my power to punish all her jeers, But I'll go to her, thou shalt keep a distance Only to hear, how most miraculously I ha' brought things about.
