Scene. 22
Enter Monsieur Sensible, and Madamoiselle Amor his Daughter.
MOnsieur Sensible.

Daughter, how do you like Monsieur Frere?

Amor.

Sir, I like whatsoever you approve of.

Sensible.

But setting aside your dutiful Answer to me, tell me how you af∣fect him?

Amor.

If I must confess, Sir, I never saw any man I could love but him.

Sensible.

You have reason: for he is a fine Gentleman; and those Mari∣ages most commonly prove happy, when Children and Parents agree.

Amor.

But Sir, he doth not appear to fancy me so much, or so well as I fancy him.

Sensible.

It's a sign, Child, thou art in Love, that you begin to have doubts.

Amor.

No Sir, but if I thought he could not love me, I would take off that Affection I have placed on him whilst I can master it, lest it should grow so strong as to become masterless.

Sensible.

Fear not Child.

Exeunt.
