_Mo. Alice_, the Daughter of _Chremes_.
_Dr._ You are a rare Fellow to chuse a Beauty for one! Can you fancy that Black-a-top, Snub-nos'd, Sparrow-mouth'd, Paunch-belly'd Creature. _Mo._ Prithee hold thy Tongue, I marry her to please myself, and not you. Pray, is it not enough that I like her? The less she pleases you, the more she'll please me. * * * * * 4. _SYRUS, GETA._ _Sy._ I wish you much Happiness. _Ge._ And I wish you double what you wish me. _Sy._ What are you doing? _Ge._ I am talking. _Sy._ What! By yourself? _Ge._ As you see. _Sy._ It may be you are talking to yourself, and then you ought to see to it that you talk to an honest Man. _Ge._ Nay, I am conversing with a very facetious Companion. |
