Scene 43.
Enter Monsieur Comorade, and Monsieur Bon Compaignon.
BOn Compaignon.

Comorade, what cause makes you so fine to day?

Comorade.

I am going to two weddings to day.

Bon Compaignon.

Faith, one had been enough; but how can you divide yourself betwixt two Bridals?

Comorade.

I shall not need to divide my self, since the Bridals keeps toge∣ther; for they are marryed both in one Church, and by one Priest, and they feast in one house.

Bon Compaignon.

And will they lye in one bed?

Comorade.

No surely, they will have two beds, for fear each Bride-groom should mistake his Bride.

Bon Compaignon.

VVell, I wish the Bride-grooms, and their Brides joy, and their Guests, good chear.

Comorade.

VVill not you be one of the Guests?

Bon Compaignon.

No, for a Bon Compaignon shuns Hymens Court, neither will Hymen entertain him: But who are the Brides and Bride-grooms?

Comorade.

Monsieur Nobilissimo, and Madamosel Doltche, and Monsieur Perfection; and Madamosel Solid.

Bon Compaignon.

Is Monsieur Profession a Guest there.

Comorade.

No, for he swears now, that he hates marriage, as he hates death.

Bon Compaignon.

But he loves a Mistress, as he loves life.
