Scene 23.
Enter two Gentlemen.
1 GEntlem.

I hear that Wits Cabal is removing out of Cupids Court into Hymens prison, and there to be bound in bonds of Matrimony.

2 Gent.

Faith I pity the Cabal, and condemn their Wit, by reason it did not keep them out of slavery.

1 Gentle.

Wit is both a Pander and a Traitor: for Wit is a Pimp in Cu∣pids Court, and betrays his Court to Hymens Prison.

2 Gentlem.

There are no prisoners look so dejectedly as Hymens prisoners.

1 Gentle.

There is great reason for it: for they are almost starv'd for want of variety, and they have less liberty than other prisoners have.

Exeunt.
