I see y'are fair, and I guess you're a Maid. _Phil_. Your Guess is better than your Eye-sight, Sir. Sir _Tim_. Whate'er you are, by Fortune, I wish you would permit me to love you with all your Faults. _Phil_. You? Pray who are you? Sir _Tim_. A Man, a Gentleman--and more, a Knight too, by Fortune. _Phil_. Then 'twas not by Merit, Sir--But how shall I know you are either of these? Sir _Tim_. That I'm a Man, the Effects of my vigorous Flame shall prove --a Gentleman, my Coat of Arms shall testify; and I have the King's Patent for my Title. _Phil_. For the first you may thank your Youth, for the next your Father, and the last your Money. Sir _Tim_. By Fortune, I love thee for thy Pertness. |
