WEll, 'tis an endless trouble, to have the Tuition of a Maid in Love, here is such Wishing and Longing—And yet one must force them to what they most desire, before they will admit of it— Here am I sent out a Scout of the Forlorn Hope, to discover the approach of the Enemy—Well—Mr. Bellmour, you are not to know, 'tis with the consent of Celinda, that you come—I must bear all the blame, what mischief soever comes of these Night-works.

Enter Bellmour.

Oh are you come—Your hour was Twelve, and ow 'tis almost Two.

Bell.

I could not get from Friendlove—Thou hast not told Celinda of my coming.
