--May all arrive to me,
If e'er I marry any Man but _Bellmour_! _Nur_. We are Witnesses, as good as a thousand. _Friend_. But now, my Friend, I'd have you take your leave; the day comes on apace, and you've not seen your Uncle since your Arrival. _Bel_. 'Tis Death to part with thee, my fair Celinda; But our hard Fates impose this Separation: --Farewel--Remember thou'rt all mine. _Cel_. What have I else of Joy to think upon? --Go--go--depart. _Bel_. I will--but 'tis as Misers part with Gold, Or People full of Health depart from Life. _Friend_. Go, Sister, to your Bed, and dream of him. [_Ex_. Cel. _and_ Nurse. _Bel_. Whilst I prepare to meet this Fop to fight him. _Friend_. Hang him, he'll ne'er meet thee; to beat a Watch, or kick a Drawer, or batter Windows, is the highest pitch of Valour he e'er arriv'd to. _Bel_. However, I'll expect him, lest he be fool-hardy enough to keep his Word. |
