_Phil_. Is it possible you can love at all? Sir _Tim_. As much as I dare. _Phil_. How do you mean? Sir _Tim_. Not to be laught at; 'tis not the Mode to love much; A Platonick Fop I have heard of, but this is an Age of sheer Enjoyment, and little Love goes to that; we have found it incommode, and loss of time, to make long Addresses. _Enter_ Celinda _like a Boy_. _Phil_. I find, Sir, you and I shall never agree upon this matter; But see, Sir, here's more Company. _Cel_. Oh Heaven! 'tis true, these Eyes confirm my Fate. Yonder he is--and that fair splendid Thing, That gazes on him with such kind Desire, Is my blest Rival--Oh, he is married! --Gods! And yet you let him live; Live too with all his Charms, as fine and gay, As if you meant he shou'd undo all easy Maids, And kill 'em for their Sin of loving him. Wretched _Celinda_! But I must turn my Eyes from looking on The fatal Triumphs of my Death--Which of all these Is my Brother? Oh, that is he: I know him By the Habit he sent for to the Play-House. |
