It is even so, and howsoever Report may wander loosely in some scandal Against our privacies; yet we have wanted No graceful means fit for our births and qualities, To train us up into a virtuous knowledge Of what, and who we ought to be. Our Uncle Hath often told us, how it more concerned him Before he showed us to the world, to render Our youths and our demeanours in each action Approved by his experience, then too early Adventure on the follies of the age, By prone temptations fatal. In good deed la, We mean no harm. Deceit must want a shelter Under a roof, that's covering to souls So white as breaths beneath it, such as these are; My happiness shares largely in this blessing, And I must thank direction of the providence Which led me hither. Aptly have you styled it, A providence for ever in chaste loves, Such majesty hath power,— our Kinsman Troylo Was herein his own factor; he will prove, Believe him Lady, every way as constant, As noble, we can bail him from the cruelty Of misconstruction. You will find his tongue But a just Secretary to his heart. The Guardianess (Dear Creatures) now and then, it seems Makes bold to talk. Sh'as waited on us From all our Cradles, will prate sometimes oddly, However means but sport; I am unwilling Our household should break up, but must obey His wisdom, under whose command we live: Sever our companies I'm sure we shall not; Yet 'tis a pretty life this and a quiet. Chuck, duckling, honey, mouse, monkey all and every thing; I am thine ever and only, will never offend again, as I hope to shave clean and get honour by't, heartily I ask forgiveness; be gracious to thine own flesh and blood, and kiss me home. Look you provoke us no more, for this time you shall find mercy;— was't that hedgehog set thy brains a crowing? be quits with him, but do not hurt the great male-baby. Enough, I am wise, and will be merry,— haste Beauties, the Caroches will sudden receive ye; a night of pleasure is toward, pray for good husbands a piece, that may trim you featly, (dainty ones) and let me alone to trim them. Loving hearts be quick as soon as ye can, time runs apace; what you must do, do nimbly, and give your minds to't; young bloods stand fumbling? fie away, be ready for shame beforehand; husband, stand to thy tackling husband, like a man of metal: go, go, go. Will ye come away loiterers? shall I wait all day? Am I at livery d'ye think. Here and ready; what a mouthing thou keep'st, I have but scoured my hands, and curried my head to save time, honest Secco, neat Secco, precious barbarian, now thou look'st like a worshipful Tooth-drawer, would I might see thee on horseback, in the pomp once. A Chair, a Chair, quick, quick.
