SCENE changes to the Street.
Enter Sir Antony and Valentine.
Sir Ant.

This is the time, and place of appointment; what 'twill come to, Valentine, I can't tell.

Val.

'Tis a whimsical Undertaking methinks, to support another Woman's Intrigue, at your Expence—

Sir Ant.

There's no buying such a Frolick to dear.

Val.

And part with your Lover to oblige her!

Sir Ant.

So long, I can't part with you; to provide for your pleasure as well as my own: Besides, 'tis a diverting piece of Roguery; and will be a Jest as long as we know one another.

Enter Palmer.
Palm.

Who's there? Sir Antony!

Sir Ant.

The same; I am afore-hand with you.

Palm.

The Lady, Sir, will thank you. Whom have you with you there?

Sir Ant.

Only a Servant.

Palm.

You'll have no need of him; I come to serve you: Besides he may be seen.

Sir Ant.

I'll send him away.

Palm.

I'll but step in, to make your way to the Lady, and will wait upon you agen.

Exit.
Val.

By this Fellow's advising to send away your Servant, I fancy he may be a Rogue.

Sir Ant.

If he be a Rogue, I am reslv'd to discover the bottom of him; but if there be a Woman in the case, I'll leave you to the Employment—

Enter Palmer.
Palm.

Sir.

Sir Ant.

Here.

Palm.

Are you alone?

Sir Ant.

I am.

Palm.

Follow me.

Sir Ant.

Follow me.

Exeunt Valentine following Sir Antony.
