Scene. 26.
Enter Monsieur Sensible, and Madamoiselle Amor.
MOnsieur Sensible.

Daughter, I do perceive that Monsieur Frere doth neglect you; besides, he is a wilde debauch'd young man, and no ways likely to make a good Husband: wherefore I charge you on my blessing, and the duty you owe me, to draw off those affections you have placed upon him.

Amor.

Good Sir do not impose that on my duty which I cannot obey: for I can sooner draw the light from the Sun, or the World from its Center, or the fix'd Stars from their assigned places, than draw away love from him.

Sensible.

Why, how if he will not have you?

Amor.

I can only say I shall be unhappy.

Sensible.

I hope you will be wiser than to make your self miserable for one you cannot have to be your Husband.

Exeunt.
