only serve to heigthen her Assurance?

L. _Rot_. Some Ladies, Madam, are so plentifully stock'd by Nature, they
want neither Art nor Travel to improve it.

L. _Toss_. Tis much then your Ladyship shou'd encourage Art or Travel,
where Nature has bestow'd the largest Share, but I wonder not a Lady
shou'd be so studious to accomplish her self who so fondly permits a Crowd
of Followers.

L. _Rod_. A Lady, Madam, is seldom concern'd at another's Followers, but
when she laments the loss of 'em her self, and if the Fops that flutter
about me, give you any Disorder, I can easily resign 'em to your Ladyship.

L. _Toss_. By no means, Madam, that wou'd be to rob your Ladyship's Cozen,
there, who is equally entitul'd to your Cast off Lovers, and your old
Cloths.

Mrs. _Lov_. Her Ladyship's Cozen, Madam, wou'd no more accept of any
Lady's old Cloths, than of your Ladyship's Face.

L. _Toss_. Nay, Madam, if her Ladyship's a'ground, your Face may put both
Sexes out o'Countenance. [_Exeunt Lady_ Toss-up, _and Mrs._ Flimsy.

L. Rod. _Tho' minor Beauties at a_ Venus _rave,
Spight her the more, the more her Charms inslave;
As 'mongst the Stars the Moon maintains her Place,
She Bridles in her Air, and Triumphs in her Face._
