Sweet sayst thou? Thou art not I'll swear. I am glad he was prevented. I should never held out a course with him, that cannot endure a breathing: a Cheese-shop on fire cannot outstink him. Your uncle's gone Mistress, and says he will be here at seven o'clock again. But shall I tell you a five thing Mistress? Yea marry Humphrey, what may that be and 'tis not of Sir Philip But it is of him Mistress. He says he will bring a Coach for your at six o'clock to fetch you away: will you go with him? By my soul that will I an't be all the world over. How shall you Uncle find you at 7 then? we'll leave him at six and sevens. I mean betwixt both. 'Twill be trim trust me. And hear'st thou me Humphrey. Thou must bid Mistress Trainwell son to me a little before six ● for a very good reason. Hmh— Nay, it shall hinder nothing. we'll away the faster. I think she be in her wits already. If not, I must humour her, though I be put to the trouble to shift her away again. She shall mar no sport that's certain. Come with me Humphrey, thou shalt go e'en now, and tell her; and I'll be packing up the while.— This Clinches. I shall win my Lady's heart for ever. To manage two such businesses more, were enough to raise me Agent for a State. To discourse a tedious Lecture unto you, Lady, in speaking philosophically of the disease of Melancholy, were to show more learning than discretion. There are large volumes of it in Print, to very slender purpose. Sir, I desire rather your discretion, than the gloss of Learning. I am rather governed by the wholesome effects of the one, than the smooth directions of the other. To the point then Lady. I see no reason why I should vex and torment this delicate and tender body, with Physic. Her disease is Melancholy; The cause of this disease I have found apparently in the two hours' probation since you left her with me, to be Love, which she hath so greedily taken in, that it hath overwhelmed her spirits, and turned the faculties of all her senses into a rude confusion, sending forth the use of them extravagantly. Sir, I must not only approve, but applaud your skill. 'tis love indeed, And ● am right glad that your opinion jumps with my own knowledge: for now I doubt not of your speedy address to the cure. 'Tis done in three words. The Party that she loves, must be the Doctor, the Medicine, and the Cure. Sir, the Gentleman is below, he came with me, only I would not bring him to her fight without your approbation, scaring it might do hurt. Pray call him up, on peril of my judgement. Give me your hand Mrs. Constance. I have good news for you.
