But what good News have you? _Dr._ They say you are become a Huntsman. _Mo._ Nay, more than that, I have gotten the Game now in my Nets that I have been hunting after. _Dr._ What Game is it? _Mo._ A pretty Girl, that I am to marry in a Day or two; and I intreat you to honour me with your good Company at my Wedding. _Dr._ Pray, who is your Bride? |
