At the Cake-house.
Madam, Let me beg a kiss from you, that I may drink to you in that liquor which I most love, the Nectar of your lips.
Your servant, Sir, now give me leave to pledge you in that liquor which I most love, which is a cup of bottle Ale, for I am very dry.
Madam, These Cheesecakes were made to eat, I would you could feed on them with that eagerness, that I could feed on the perfections of your face; there is in them sweetness, ten∣derness, and pleasantness, the emblems of your qualifications.
Sir, I know not how to recompence these favours, so that I am troubled that I must be now more in your debt, before I have gratifi'd your first kindnesses; for I must desire you to give me leave to go ••orth to make water.
