No.
1 Gentlem.
Surely you have been either dead or deaf.
2 Gentlem.
I have been in the Country.
1 Gentlem.
That is some reason indeed; but the Newes of the City uses to travel in Letters on Post-horses into the Country.
2 Gentlem.
No faith, for the most part they come in slow Waggons; but tell me who those are that are to be Maried to morrow?
1 Gentlem.
Why first there is the Lord Title and the Lady Virtue. Se∣condly, the Lord Courtship and the Lady VVard. Thirdly, there is Sir Famit Poet and the Lady Contemplation. Fourthly, the Lady Conversation and Sir Experienc'd Traveller. And fifthly, the Lady Visitant and Sir Humphry In∣terruption.
2 Gentlem.
I will do my endeavour to see them all; for I will go to each Bridal House.
1 Gentlem.
How will you do so, being all maried on a day?
2 Gentlem.
Why I will bid Good-morrow to the one, and I will goe to Church with another, and dine with the third, and dance the afternoon with the fourth, and see the fifth a bed.
1 Gentlem.
That you may do.
Exeunt.
