Then mad, she did name Robin, and then James,
Till she had reckon'd up some twenty names; At length, when she had counted up a score, As one among the rest, she hit on me; I ask'd her if she could not reckon more, And pluck'd away my hands to let her see; But, when she look'd back, and saw me behind her, She blush'd, and ask'd if it were I did blind her? And since I sware, both by her mask and fan, To trust no she-tongue, that can name a man. ANS.

But not a word of passion or of love; Have at her now to try her patience. _Enter_ MISTRESS ARTHUR. God save you, mistress! MRS ART. You are welcome, sir. FUL. I pray you, where's your husband? MRS ART. Not within. ANS. Who, Master Arthur? him I saw even now |
