Scene. 39.
Madam, did you give Monsieur Amorous the present I sent you to give him?
Yes, there was Shirts, Caps, and Handkerchiefs, of each two dozen.
There were so.
They were of the finest Holland, and Flanders Lace, that ever I saw, what might the present cost you?
Not much above five hundred pounds.
You speak as if it were but a slight present, but if your Husband knew of it, he would think it were too much by four hundred ninety and nine pound nineteen shillings eleven pence halfpeny farthing.
But what said Monsieur Amorous, when you presented that pre∣sent, as from me?
At the first he would not receive the present, saying it was too costly, and that he could not return enough thanks for it, and so should seem as ungratefull against his will; but at last upon my perswasion, he took your present, and to Morrow he will come and give you thanks.
I had rather meet him in some other place, than receive his visit at home, where my Husband is.
