Hearty.
Well read, well read: As for the Lord Widower, I know he will not come: for I hear his Lady is newly dead. This is the Nature of the World; some marry, and some die.
Man.
Troth Sir, of the two Evils, I think it is better to die than to marry.
Hearty.
I am not of your mind: for I had rather have a ruddy, plain, soft Wench to be my B••d-fellow, than pale, grim, lean, numb, cold Death. But go your way about this Imployment, the whilst I will give direction for the Entertainment.
Exeunt.
