_Luce_, you have a tongue, and open tongues have open you know
what, _Luce._ _Luce._ Pray you be satisfied. _Isab._ Yes and contented too, before I leave you: there's a _Roger_, which some call a Butcher, I speak of certainties, I do not fish _Luce_, nay do not stare, I have a tongue can talk too: and a Green Chamber _Luce_, a back door opens to a long Gallerie; there was a night _Luce_, do you perceive, do you perceive me yet? O do you blush _Luce_? a Friday night I saw your Saint, _Luce_: for t'other box of Marmalade, all's thine sweet _Roger_, this I heard and kept too. _Luce._ E'ne as you are a woman Mistress. _Isab._ This I allow as good and Physical sometime, these meetings, and for the cheering of the heart; but _Luce_, to have your own turn served, and to your friend to be a dog-bolt. _Luce._ I confess it Mistress. _Isab._ As you have made my sister jealous of me, and foolishly, and childishly pursued it, I have found out your haunt, and traced your purposes; for which mine honour suffers; your best waies must be applied to bring her back again, and seriously and suddenly, that so I may have a means to clear my self, and she a fair opinion of me, else you peevish-- _Luce._ My power and prayers Mistress. |
