Justice, father Aldo, justice! _Aldo._ Why, what is the matter, daughter Hackney? _Hack._ She has violated the law of nations; for yesterday she inveigled my own natural cully from me, a married lord, and made him false to my bed, father. _Term._ Come, you are an illiterate whore. He is my lord now; and, though you call him fool, it is well known he is a critic, gentlewoman. You never read a play in all your life; and I gained him by my wit, and so I'll keep him. _Hack._ My comfort is, I have had the best of him; he can take up no more, till his father dies: And so, much good may do you with my cully, and my clap into the bargain. |
