_Wood._ Uds-niggers, I confess, is a very dreadful oath. You could lie naturally before, as you are a fanatic; if you can swear such rappers too, there is hope of you; you may be a woman of the world in time. Well, you shall be satisfied, to the utmost farthing, to-night, and in your own chamber. _Saint._ Or, expect to-morrow-- _Wood._ All shall be atoned ere then. Go, provide the bottle of clary, the Westphalia ham, and other fortifications of nature; we shall see what may be done. What! an old woman must not be cast away. [_Chucks her._ _Saint._ Then, verily, I am appeased. _Wood._ Nay, no relapsing into verily; that is in our bargain. Look how she weeps for joy! It is a good old soul, I warrant her. _Saint._ You will not fail? _Wood._ Dost thou think I have no compassion for thy gray hairs? Away, away; our love may be discovered: We must avoid scandal; it is thy own maxim. [_Exit_ SAINTLY. They are all now at ombre; and Brainsick's maid has promised to send her mistress up. _Enter_ PLEASANCE. That fury here again! |
