[Exeunt_.
SCENE II. _A Chamber_. _Enter_ Celinda, _and_ Nurse. _Cel_. I wonder my Brother stays so long: sure Mr. _Bellmour_ is not yet arriv'd, yet he sent us word he would be here to day. Lord, how impatient I grow! _Nur_. Ay, so methinks; if I had the hopes of enjoying so sweet a Gentleman as Mr. _Bellmour_, I shou'd be so too--But I am past it--Well, I have had my Pantings, and Heavings, my Impatience, and Qualms, my Heats, and my Colds, and my I know not whats--But I thank my Stars, I have done with all those Fooleries. _Cel_. Fooleries!-- Is there any thing in Life but Love? Wou'dst thou praise Heaven for thy Being, Without that grateful part of it? For I confess I love. _Nur_. You need not, your Sighs, and daily (nay, and nightly too) Disorders, plainly enough betray the Truth. _Cel_. Thou speak'st as if it were a Sin: But if it be so, you your self help'd to make me wicked. |
