I did commit her to your charge that you Might breed her, Mrs. Scruple, and do require Her at your hand. Here be fine tricks, indeed; My daughter Susan to be stolen a week, And you conceal it; you were of the plot, I do suspect you. Sir, will you but hear Me meekly? No, I'll never trust again A woman with white eyes, that can take notes, And write a Comment on the Catechism. All your devotion's false; is't possible She could be gone without your knowledge? Will you Attend me, Ms Seathrift? If my husband To wean her from love courses, did not take More pains with her then with his Tuesday Lectures, And if I did not every day expound Some good things to her 'gainst the sin o'th' flesh, For fear of such temptations, to which frail girls Are very subject, let me never more Be thought fit to instruct young Gentlewomen, Or deal in Tent-stitch. Who ere 'twas that seduced her, She took my daughter Emlin's gown and ruff, And left her own clothes: and my Scholars say She often would write Letters. Why 'tis right Some silenced Minister has got her: that I Should breed my daughter in a Conventicle! Pray husband be appeased. You are a fool. You hear her Ms could not help it. Nor Your son help being a fish. Why, Sir, was he The first that was abused by Captains? Go You talk like prating Gossips. Gossips? slight What Gossips, Sir? What Gossips are we? speak. J'le tell you since youd know: my wife and you, Shrill Mrs. Holland, have two tongues, that when theyare in conjunction, are busier, and make More noise than country fairs, and utter more tales Than blind-folks, Midwives, Nurses. Then no show Though't be a Juggler scapes you. You did follow The Elephant so long, and King of Sweden, That people at last came in to see you. Then My son could not be made a Fish, but who Should I find there much taken with the sight But you two? I may now build Hospitals, Or give my money to Plantations. let's follow him, come Mrs. Scruple. Just As your Sue left her Schoolmistress, my Pen Left me. They'll come again I warrant you. SIster 'tis so projected, therefore make No more demurs, the life of both our fortunes Lies in your carriage of things well; think therefore Whither you will restore me, and advance Your own affairs, or else within this week Fly this your lodging, like unaccustomed sinners, And have your Coach-horses transformed to Rent, Have your apparel sold for properties, And you return to cut-work. By this hand If you refuse all this must happen. Well, Sir, Necessity which hath no Law, for once Shall make me o'th' conspiracy, and since We are left wholly to our wits, Let's show The power and virtue of 'em; if your Baneswright Can but persuade my Uncle, I will fit Him with a Bride.
