.FORESIGHT.Was there ever such Impudence, to make Love to me before my Husband's Face? I'll Swear I'll tell him.SCANDAL.Do, I'll dye a Martyr, rather than disclaim my Passion.But come a little farther this way, and I'll tell you what Project I had to get him out of the way; that I might have an opportunity of waiting upon you.Whisper.FORESIGHT looking in the Glass.I do not see any Revolution here; – Methinks I look with a serene and benign aspect –– pale, a little pale – but the Roses of these Cheeks have been gather'd many Years; – ha! I do not like that suddain flushing –– gone already! – hem, hem, hem! faintish.My Heart is pretty good; yet it beats; and my Pulses ha! – I have none – Mercy on me – hum – Yes, here they are – Gallop, gallop, gallop, gallop, gallop, gallop, hey! Whither will they hurry me? – Now they're gone again – And now I'm faint again; and pale again, and hem! and my hem! – breath, hem! – grows short; hem! hem! he, he, hem!SCANDAL.It takes, pursue it in the name of Love and Pleasure.MRS.FORESIGHT.How do you do, Mr.Foresight?FORESIGHT.Hum, not so well as I thought I was.Lend me your Hand.SCANDAL.Look you there now – Your Lady says your Sleep has been unquiet of late.FORESIGHT.Very likely.MRS.FORESIGHT.O, mighty restless, but I was afraid to tell him so – He has been subject to Talking and Starting.SCANDAL.And did not use to be so.MRS.FORESIGHT.Never, never; till within these three Nights; I cannot say that he has once broken my Rest, since we have been Marry'd.FORESIGHT.I will go to Bed.SCANDAL.Do so, Mr.Foresight, and say your Pray'rs; – He looks better than he did.MRS.FORESIGHT.Nurse, Nurse!Calls.FORESIGHT.Do you think so, Mr.Scandal?SCANDAL.Yes, yes, I hope this will be gone by Morning, taking it in time –FORESIGHT.I hope so.Enter Nurse.MRS.FORESIGHT.Nurse; your Master is not well; put him to Bed.SCANDAL.I hope you will be able to see Valentine in the Morning, – you had best take a little Diacodion and Cowslip water, and lye upon your back, may be you may dream.FORESIGHT.I thank you Mr.Scandal, I will – Nurse, let me have a Watch-light, and lay the Crums of Comfort by me.–NURSE.Yes, Sir.FORESIGHT.And – hem, hem! I am very faint.–SCANDAL.No, no, you look much better.FORESIGHT.Do I? And d'ye hear – bring me, let me see – within a quarter of Twelve – hem – he, hem! – just upon the turning of the Tide, bring me the Urinal; – And I hope, neither the Lord of my Ascendant, nor the Moon will be combust; and then I may do well.SCANDAL.I hope so – Leave that to me; I will erect a Scheme; and I hope I shall find both Sol and Venus in the sixth House.FORESIGHT.I thank you, Mr.Scandal, indeed that wou'd be a great Comfort to me.Hem, hem! good Night.Exit.SCANDAL.Good Night, good Mr.Foresight; – and I hope Mars and Venus will be in Conjunction; – while your Wife and I are together.MRS.FORESIGHT.Well; and what use do you hope to make of this Project? You don't think, that you are ever like to succeed in your design upon me?SCANDAL.Yes, Faith I do; I have a better Opinion both of you and my self, than to despair.MRS.FORESIGHT.Did you ever hear such a Toad – heark'ee Devil; do you think any Woman Honest?SCANDAL.Yes, several, very honest; – they'll cheat a little at Cards, sometimes, but that's nothing.MRS.FORESIGHT.Pshaw! but Vertuous, I mean.SCANDAL.Yes, Faith, I believe some Women are Vertuous too; but 'tis as I believe some Men are Valiant, thro' fear – For why shou'd a Man court Danger, or a Woman shun Pleasure?MRS.FORESIGHT.O Monstrous! What are Conscience and Honour?SCANDAL.Why, Honour is a publick Enemy; and Conscience a Domestick Thief; and he that wou'd secure his Pleasure, must pay a Tribute to one, and go halves with the t'other.As for Honour, that you have secur'd, for you have purchas'd a perpetual opportunity for Pleasure.MRS.FORESIGHT.An Opportunity for Pleasure!SCANDAL.Aye, your Husband, a Husband is an opportunity for Pleasure, so you have taken care of Honour, and 'tis the least I can do to take care of Conscience.MRS.FORESIGHT.And so you think we are free for one another?SCANDAL.Yes Faith, I think so; I love to speak my mind.MRS.FORESIGHT.Why then I'll speak my mind.Now as to this Affair between you and me.Here you make love to me; why, I'll confess it does not displease me.Your Person is well enough, and your Understanding is not a-miss.SCANDAL.I have no great Opinion of my self; yet I think, I'm neither Deform'd, nor a Fool.MRS.FORESIGHT.But you have a Villanous Character; you are a Libertine in Speech, as well as Practice.SCANDAL.Come, I know what you wou'd say, –– you think it more dangerous to be seen in Conversation with me, than to allow some other Men the last Favour; you mistake, the liberty I take in Talking, is purely affected, for the Service of your Sex.He that first cries out stop Thief, is often he that has stolen the Treasure.I am a Jugler, that act by Confederacy; and if you please, we'll put a Trick upon the world.MRS.FORESIGHT.Aye; but you are such an universal Jugler, –– that I'm afraid you have a great many Confederates.SCANDAL.Faith, I'm sound.MRS.FORESIGHT.O, fie –– I'll Swear you're Impudent.SCANDAL.I'll Swear you're Handsome.MRS.FORESIGHT.Pish, you'd tell me so, tho' you did not think so.SCANDAL.And you'd think so, tho' I should not tell you so: And now I think we know one another pretty well.MRS.FORESIGHT.O Lord, who's here?Enter Mrs.Frail, and Ben.BEN.Mess, I love to speak my mind – Father has nothing to do with me – Nay, I can't say that neither; he has something to do with me.But what do's that signifie? If so be, that I ben't minded to be steer'd by him; 'tis as tho'f he should strive against Wind and Tyde.MRS.FRAIL.Aye, but my Dear, we must keep it secret, till the Estate be setled; for you know, Marrying without an Estate, is like Sailing in a Ship without Ballast.BEN.He, he, he; why that's true; just so for all the World it is indeed, as like as two Cable Ropes.MRS.FRAIL.And tho' I have a good Portion; you know one wou'd not venture all in one Bottom.BEN.Why that's true again; for may-hap one Bottom may spring a Leak.You have hit it indeed, Mess you've nick'd the Channel.MRS.FRAIL.Well, but if you shou'd forsake me after all, you'd break my Heart.BEN.Break your Heart? I'de rather the Mary- gold shou'd break her Cable in a storm, as well as I love her.Flesh, you don't think I'm false- hearted, like a Land-man.A Sailer will be honest, tho'f may-hap he has never a Penny of Mony in his Pocket – May-hap I may not have so fair a Face, as a Citizen or a Courtier; but for all that, I've as good Blood in my Veins, and a Heart as sound as a Bisket.MRS.FRAIL.And will you love me always?BEN.Nay, an I love once, I'll stick like pitch; I'll tell you that.Come, I'll sing you a Song of a Sailor.MRS.FRAIL.Hold, there's my Sister, I'll call her to hear it.MRS.FORESIGHT [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
