Ay, Sir, I that am a Knight--a Man of Parts and Wit, and one that is to be your Brother, and design'd to be the Glory of marrying _Celinda_. _Bel_. I can endure no more--How, Sir--You marry fair _Celinda!_ Sir _Tim_. Ay, _Frank_, ay--is she not a pretty little plump white Rogue, hah? _Bel_. Yes. Sir _Tim_. Oh, I had forgot thou art a modest Rogue, and to thy eternal Shame, hadst never the Reputation of a Mistress--Lord, Lord, that I could see thee address thy self to a Lady--I fancy thee a very ridiculous Figure in that Posture, by Fortune. _Bel_. Why, Sir, I can court a Lady-- Sir _Tim_. No, no, thou'rt modest; that is to say, a Country Gentleman; that is to say, ill-bred; that is to say, a Fool, by Fortune, as the World goes. _Bel_. Neither, Sir--I can love--and tell it too--and that you may believe me--look on this Lady, Sir. |
