Scene 4.

Enter Monsieur Vain-glorious, and his Man.

VAin-glorious.

All the Ladies in the City are in love with me, and that woman thinks her self happy that can receive a Courtship from me; but I mean to marry none but Madamoiselle Ambition, nor would I marry her but for my particular ends, for she is rich.

Servant.

She is so, if they be rich that have vast desires. But are you sure you shall have her?

Vain-glorious.

Yes, for her Friends and I am agreed, and I know she can∣not deny me; for what woman would not be proud to marry me?

Servant.

'Tis said she is a Noble Lady.

Vain-glorious.

Faith she will be but a trouble to me; but I will only keep her for breed, and entertain myself, and lead my life with Madamoiselle Pleasure, and she shall share of the riches that Madamoiselle Ambition brings.

Servant.

Now you talk of riches Sir, what shall we do with the rich Ca∣binet you bought? must that be carried to Madamoiselle Pleasure?

Vain-glorious.

Yes, but I have other presents to send along with it, which I will give order for.

Exeunt.
