Lady Amorous.But confess, Lady Wagtail, do not you find a studious Scho∣lar dull company, in respect of a vain Courtier, and a rough Souldier.Lady Wagtail.I must confess, they that study Philosophy, are little too much inclined to morality, but those that study Theologie, are not so restrin∣gent.Lady Amorous.Well, for my part, since I have been acquainted with Sir Peaceable Studious, I hate all Scholars.Exeunt.Scene 24.Enter three Men, as the Inhabitants of Rome.1.TIs a wonder such a youth as the Lord Singularity's Son is, should have so great a wit, as to be able to dispute with so many Cardinals.2. Man.The greater wonder is, that he should have the better of them!1. Man.'Tis said the Pope doth admire him! and is extreamly taken with him.2. Man.If Iove had so much admired him, he would have made him his Ganimed.1. Man.He offered to make him a living Saint, but he thanked his Holy∣ness, and said, he might Saint him, but not make him holy enough to be a Saint, for said he, I am unfit to have Prayers offered to me, that cannot offer Prayers as I ought, or live as I should; then he offered him a Cardinals hat, but he refused it; saying he was neither wise enough, nor old enough for to accept of it; for said he. I want Ulisses head, and Nestors years to be a Car∣dinal, for though less devotion will serve a Cardinal than a Saint, yet politick wisdom is required.3. Man.Pray Neighbours tell me which way, and by what means I may see this wonderfull youth; for I have been out of the Town, and not heard of him.2. Man.You cannot see him now, unless you will follow him where he is gone.1. Man.Why, whether is he gone?2. Man.Into his own Country, and hath been gone above this week.3. Man.Nay, I cannot follow him thither.Exeunt.Scene 25.Enter the Lord Singularity, and Affectionata, as being in the Country.Lord Singularity.Affectionata, you have promised me to be ruled by me in every thing, so that you may not part from me.Affectionata.I have, my Lord, and will obey all your commands, so far as I am able.0
