Sir _Tim_. Which way?
_Nur_. Why, speak to her first. Sir _Tim_. I never knew a Woman want a Cue for that; but all that I Have met with were still before-hand with me in tittle tattle. _Nur_. Likely those you have met with may, but this is no such Creature, Sir. Sir _Tim_. I must confess, I am unus'd to this kind of Dialogue; and I am an Ass, if I know what to say to such a Creature. --But come, will you answer me to one Question? _Cel_. If I can, Sir. Sir _Tim_. But first I should ask you if you can speak? For that's a Question too. _Cel_. And if I cannot, how will you be answer'd? Sir _Tim_. Faith, that's right; why, then you must do't by signs. _Cel_. But grant I can speak, what is't you'll ask me? Sir _Tim_. Can you love? _Cel_. Oh, yes, Sir, many things; I love my Meat, I love abundance of Adorers, I love choice of new Clothes, new Plays; and, like a right Woman, I love to have my Will. |
