Scene 25.
'Tis strange, that Sir Humphrey Disagree, and his Lady, cannot agree, yet they are both of good natures, and generous Souls; keep a noble House, and are bountifull to their Servants, kind and courteous to their Friends, and he a very understanding Gentleman, and a learned Scholar, and an honest Man.
And she is a very Chast Lady, a good Huswife, and very or∣derly in her House, as concerning what she is to take care of, or to direct, and is very pious and devout, and yet both to be so indiscreet as to fall out about light toys, and frivolous matters.
'Tis strange, and truly great pitty; wherefore, we ought to do our indeavour, to try if we can make them friends.
Surely that might be easily done; for they are as apt, and as soon friends when their anger's over, as they are apt to fall out when they are friends, and I make no doubt to make them friends; but the business is to keep them friends, and the question is, whether it were not better they should be parted friends, than present enemies.
Yet we have discharged our parts, if we make or do our in∣deavour to make them friends.
Well Sir, perswade the Husband, and I will try to perswade the Wife.
