_Bel_. Thou art mistaken, I hate all Woman-kind-- Sir _Tim_. How, how! _Bel_, Above an Hour--hark ye, Knight--I am as leud, and as debaucht as thou art. Sir _Tim_. What do you mean, _Frank_? _Bel_. To tell a Truth, which yet I never did. --I whore, drink, game, swear, lye, cheat, rob, pimp, hector, all, all I do that's vitious. Sir _Tim_. Bless me! _Bel_. From such a Villian, hah! Sir _Tim_. No, but that thou should'st hide it all this while. _Bel_. Till I was married only, and now I can dissemble it no longer-- come--let's to a Baudy-House. Sir _Tim_. A Baudy-house! What, already! This is the very quintessence of Leudness. --Why, I thought that I was wicked, but, by Fortune, This dashes mine quite out of Countenance. _Bel_. Oh, thou'rt a puny Sinner!--I'll teach thee Arts (so rare) of Sin, the least of them shall damn thee. |
