Well, than, I ha' won? Sir, And I may win, too. O yes! no doubt on't. I'll take careful order, That she shall hung forth ensigns at the window, To tell you when I am absent. Or I'll keep Three or four footmen, ready still of purpose, To run and fetch you at her long, Sir. I'll go bespeak me strait a guilt caroche, For her and you to take the air in: yes, Into Hyde-park, and thence into Blackfriars, Visit the painters, where you may see pictures, And note the properest limbs, and how to make 'hem. Or what do you say unto a middling Gossip? To bring you ay together, at her lodging? Under pretext of teaching o' my wife Some rare receipt of drawing almond milk? ha'? It shall be a part of my care. Good Sir, God b' w' you. I ha' kept the contract, and the cloak is mine own. Why, much good do't you Sr; it may fall out, That you ha' bought it dear, though I ha' not sold it. A pretty riddle! Far you well, good Sir. Wife, your face this way, look on me: and think Ye have had a wicked dream, wife, and forget it. This is the strangest motion I ere saw. Now, wife, sits this fair cloak the worse upon me, For my great sufferings, or your little patience? ha'? They laugh, you think? Why Sr. and you might see it. What thought, they have of you, may be soon collected By the young Genlemans' speech. Young Gentleman? Death! you are in love with him, are you? could he not Be named the Gentleman, without the young? Up to your Cabbin again. My cage, ye were best To call it? Yes, sing there. You'd feign be making Blank Manger with him at your mothers! I know you. Go get you up. How now! what say you, Devil? Here is one Engine, Sir, desires to speak with you. I thought he brought some news, of a broker! Well, Let him come in, good Devil: fetch him else. O, my fine Engine! what's th' affair? more cheats? No Sir, the Wit, the Brain, the great Projector, I told you of, is newly come to town. Where, Engine? I ha' brought him (HE is without) E'er he pulled of his boots, Sir, but so followed, For businesses: But what is a Projector? I would conceive. Why, one Sir, that projects Ways to enrich men, or to make 'em great, By suits, by marriages, by undertakings: According as he sees they humour it. Can he not conjure at all? I think he can, Sir. (To tell you true) but, you do know, of late, The State hath ta'en such note of 'em, and compelled 'em, To enter such great bonds, they dare not practice.
