Sir John. I hope you are finale, for it is a Principle with me,
never to ask any Favour of a married Woman. For he who
pays his Liberty for a Woman, dcferves to have her to him-
felf.
Let. Nay, for that matter, I think, the Fools that are mar-
ried are fit for no body but one another. For my part, I do,
and always did, hate the Thought- of a Husband.
Sir John. The moft beautiful W -man, with the beft natured
Principles, that ever I met with in the whole Courfe of my
JLife.
Let. How he fqueefces my Hand ! I underftand him ■ — - He
is a fine Gentleman. — - But I muft not leem too forward
neither. W&*
A I R XX. Young I am, and yet unskill'd.
Toting I am, and fere afraid :
Will you hurt a harmkfs Maid\
In this Place I fear to flay 3
Fear with you to go away.
Tell me, kind Sir, tell me true,
What you will, and I muft do :
How pall I fay, Tes or No ?
Can I flay, can I flay, or dare I go ?
