Aurelia, Lucia.
Aur.
O Iane, that's well; little think you what good's towards you; 'tis that you have wisht for, I dare say, th•se five yeers; a good handsome husband. What think you of young Truman?
Luc.
I think every thing
That makes a man compleat, and his wife happie,
The richest glories of a minde and body,
And their not ill companion, Fortune too,
Are reconcil'd and married all in him:
And I commend the wisdom of your stars,
That joyn you two together.
Aur.
Nay saith thou shalt e'en have him Page [unnumbered] thy self for better or worse. He's too han∣some indeed, unless he could make better use of his beauty; for by my troth, wench, I'm afraid thou'lt finde thy pillow as good a bed-fellow.
Luc.
I pray do not mock your servant.
Aur.
Thou shalt see, Iane, I do not; come in, wench, and I'll tell thee all my plot.
Exeunt.
