Sir Ant.
I know you are, Sir; you may have pity for me.
Sir Gent.
Alack a day! I have indeed, a heart brim-full for you.
Sir Ant.
You won't force me to marry that Monster?
Sir Gent.
Not I, as I hope to be sav'd, Madam; nothing against fancy.
Sir Ant.
To throw away my Youth, Beauty, and Fortune, which you know are not contemptible.
Sir Gent.
Incomparable, Madam; incomparable; your Youth and Beauty, without your Fortune.
Sir Ant.
Wou'd they were worth your asking.
Sir Gent.
Wou'd I might have 'em for asking.
Sir Ant.
Valantine I despair of; but if there be an Enlish-man, as an Eng∣lish-man he must be—
Sir Gent.
Why, I am an English-man; and wou'd marry you.
Sir Ant.
The sooner you secure me, the better then.
Sir Gent.
I think so too, Madam.
Exeunt.
Canaile, Verole, Abbe, Ilford, Volante, Charlott, Enter.
Abb.
Why here's a Night of Action indeed; Ilford, you began the Dance with Volante; and Count, I hope you'll continue it, with my Niece Charlot: As for Valentine and Floriante, they have had their frisk in a corner by this time, or he is not the Man I take him for.
Verol.
When you fell into my hands to Night; had I known my good For∣tune, I had improv'd it then: But now I have it, in having you—And happier yet, in having your Consent.
Can.
You have my Blessing both—
Valentine and Floriante at the Door.
Abb.
You may appear, we're all of a Family now, Cozen Germans, and Friends— Come here's a Pair that wants your Blessing too.
Can.
I can't deny it now— Rise and be happy.
Abbe.
I have a Blessing too for you, my Girls; Five thousand Crowns a piece more than I design'd you; and a Thousand extraordinary for her who brings me the first Boy; a small Gratuity, Gentlemen, to keep up your Fancy, and encourage your pains, that you mayn't think it unprofitable Labour upon your Wives.
Can.
But why in Sir Antony's Cloaths, Floriante? Where is this mad Knight?
Flor.
Somewhere in my Petticoats: But the Count can give you the best Tidings of him.
Ver.
I left him with one Sir Gentle Golding; one whom you are beholden to; for familiarly, upon the first word, he betray'd you, and carry'd me to seize you.
Val.
Well, I don't doubt but she will give us a handsom Revenge upon him.
Val.
Sir Antony, Sir; For this Sir Antony after all, is a Woman.
Abbe.
Aye, pox take her, she is a Woman.
Vol.
Then I am free indeed.
Val.
At leisure I'll tell you all her story.
Ente Sir Gentle with Sir Antony.
Sir Gent.
Now, I am sufficiently reveng'd on Valentine and Sir Antony for
