ACT II . (VANBR-E3-H,32.3)

SCENE I . (VANBR-E3-H,32.4)

</heading>

<paren> <font> London . A Room in </font> Loveless's <font> Lodgings
</font> . </paren> (VANBR-E3-H,32.6)

<font> Enter </font> Loveless <font> and </font> Amanda .
(VANBR-E3-H,32.7)

<font> Lov. </font> How do you like these Lodgings , my Dear ?
(VANBR-E3-H,32.8)

For my part , I am so well pleas'd with 'em , I shall hardly remove
whilst we stay in Town , if you are satisfy'd . (VANBR-E3-H,32.9)

<font> Aman. </font> I am satisfy'd with every thing that pleases you ;
(VANBR-E3-H,32.10)

else I had not come to Town at all . (VANBR-E3-H,32.11)

<font> Lov. </font> O , a little of the noise and bussle of the World ,
sweetens the Pleasures of Retreat : (VANBR-E3-H,32.12)

We shall find the Charms of our Retirement doubled , when we return to
it . (VANBR-E3-H,32.13)

<font> Aman. </font> That pleasing Prospect will be my chiefest
Entertainment , whilst <paren> much against my Will </paren> I am
oblig'd to stand surrounded with these empty Pleasures , which $'t $is
{TEXT:'tis} so much the fashion to be fond of . (VANBR-E3-H,32.14)

<font> Lov. </font> I own most of 'em are indeed but empty : nay so
empty , that one wou'd wonder by what Magick Power they act , when they
induce us to be vicious for their sakes . (VANBR-E3-H,32.15)

Yet some there are we may speak kindlier of : (VANBR-E3-H,32.16)

There are Delights , <paren> of which a private Life is destitute
</paren> which may divert an honest Man , and be a harmless
Entertainment to a virtuous Woman . (VANBR-E3-H,32.17)

The Conversation of the Town is one ; (VANBR-E3-H,32.18)

and truly , <paren> with some small Allowances </paren> the Plays , I
think , may be esteem'd another . (VANBR-E3-H,32.19)

<font> Aman. </font> The Plays , I must confess , have some small
Charms , (VANBR-E3-H,32.20)

and wou'd have more , wou'd they restrain that loose obscene
encouragement to Vice , which shocks , if not the Virtue of some Women
, at least the Modesty of all . (VANBR-E3-H,32.21)

<P_33>

<font> Lov. </font> But till that Reformation can be made , I wou'd not
leave the whol'some Corn , for some intruding Tares that grow amongst
it . (VANBR-E3-H,33.23)

Doubtless , the Moral of a well-wrought Scene is of prevailing Force .
- (VANBR-E3-H,33.24)

Last Night there happen'd one that mov'd me strangely .
(VANBR-E3-H,33.25)

<font> Aman. </font> Pray , what was that ? (VANBR-E3-H,33.26)

<font> Lov. </font> Why $'t $was {TEXT:'twas} about -
(VANBR-E3-H,33.27)

but $'t $is {TEXT:'tis} not worth repeating . (VANBR-E3-H,33.28)

<font> Aman. </font> Yes , pray let me know it . (VANBR-E3-H,33.29)

<font> Lov. </font> No , I think $'t $is {TEXT:'tis} as well let alone
. (VANBR-E3-H,33.30)

<font> Aman. </font> Nay , now you make me have a mind to know .
(VANBR-E3-H,33.31)

<font> Lov. </font> $'T $was {TEXT:'Twas} a foolish thing :
(VANBR-E3-H,33.32)

$You $'d {TEXT:You'd} perhaps grow jealous shou'd I tell it you , tho'
without a cause Heaven knows . (VANBR-E3-H,33.33)

<font> Aman. </font> I shall begin to think I have Cause , if you
persist in making it a secret . (VANBR-E3-H,33.34)

<font> Lov. </font> $I $'ll {TEXT:I'll} then convince you , you have
none by making it no longer so . (VANBR-E3-H,33.35)

Know then , I happen'd in the Play to find my very Character , only
with the Addition of a <font> Relapse </font> ; which struck me so , I
put a suddain stop to a most harmless Entertainment , which till then ,
diverted me between the Acts . (VANBR-E3-H,33.36)

$'T $was {TEXT:'Twas} to admire the workmanship of Nature , in the Face
of a young Lady , that sat some distance from me , (VANBR-E3-H,33.37)

she was so exquisitely handsome . (VANBR-E3-H,33.38)

<font> Aman. </font> So exquisitely handsome ! (VANBR-E3-H,33.39)

<font> Lov. </font> Why do you repeat my words , my Dear ?
(VANBR-E3-H,33.40)

<font> Aman. </font> Because you seem'd to speak 'em with such pleasure
, I thought I might oblige you with their Eccho . (VANBR-E3-H,33.41)

<font> Lov. </font> Then you are allarmed , <font> Amanda </font> ?
(VANBR-E3-H,33.42)

<font> Aman. </font> It is my Duty to be so , when you are in danger .
(VANBR-E3-H,33.43)

<font> Lov. </font> You are too quick in apprehending for me ;
(VANBR-E3-H,33.44)

all will be well when you have heard me out . (VANBR-E3-H,33.45)

I do confess I gaz'd upon her ; (VANBR-E3-H,33.46)

nay , eagerly I gaz'd upon her . (VANBR-E3-H,33.47)

<font> Aman. </font> Eagerly ? (VANBR-E3-H,33.48)

$That $'s {TEXT:That's} with desire . (VANBR-E3-H,33.49)

<font> Lov. </font> No , I desir'd her not ; (VANBR-E3-H,33.50)

I view'd her with a world of admiration , but not one glance of Love .
(VANBR-E3-H,33.51)

<font> Aman. </font> Take heed of trusting to such nice Distinctions .
(VANBR-E3-H,33.52)

<font> Lov. </font> I did take heed ; (VANBR-E3-H,33.53)

for observing in the Play , That he who seem'd to represent me there ,
was by an Accident like this , unwarily surpriz'd into a Net , in which
he lay a poor intangl'd Slave , and brought a Train of mischiefs on his
Head ; I snatcht my Eyes away : (VANBR-E3-H,33.54)

they pleaded hard for leave to look again , (VANBR-E3-H,33.55)

but I grew absolute , (VANBR-E3-H,33.56)

and they obey'd . (VANBR-E3-H,33.57)

<font> Aman. </font> Were they the only things that were Inquisitive ?
(VANBR-E3-H,33.58)

Had I been in your place , my Tongue , I fancy , had been curious too ;
(VANBR-E3-H,33.59)

I shou'd have ask'd her Name , and where she liv'd , <paren> yet still
without Design : </paren> - (VANBR-E3-H,33.60)

Who was she , pray ? (VANBR-E3-H,33.61)

<font> Lov. </font> Indeed I $can $not {TEXT:cannot} tell .
(VANBR-E3-H,33.62)

<font> Aman. </font> You will not tell . (VANBR-E3-H,33.63)

<P_34>

<font> Lov. </font> By all $that $'s {TEXT:that's} Sacred then , I did
not ask . (VANBR-E3-H,34.65)

<font> Aman. </font> Nor do you know what company was with her ?
(VANBR-E3-H,34.66)

<font> Lov. </font> I do not . (VANBR-E3-H,34.67)

<font> Aman. </font> Then I am calm again . (VANBR-E3-H,34.68)

<font> Lov. </font> Why were you disturb'd ? (VANBR-E3-H,34.69)

<font> Aman. </font> Had I then no Cause ? (VANBR-E3-H,34.70)

<font> Lov. </font> None certainly . (VANBR-E3-H,34.71)

<font> Aman. </font> I thought I had . (VANBR-E3-H,34.72)

<font> Lov. </font> But you thought wrong , <font> Amanda </font> ;
(VANBR-E3-H,34.73)

For turn the Case , (VANBR-E3-H,34.74)

and let it be your Story : (VANBR-E3-H,34.75)

shou'd you come home and tell me you had seen a handsome Man , shou'd I
grow jealous , because you had Eyes ? (VANBR-E3-H,34.76)

<font> Aman. </font> But shou'd I tell you , he were exquisitely so :
That I had gaz'd on him with Admiration : That I had look'd with eager
Eyes upon him , shou'd you not think $'T $were {TEXT:'Twere} possible I
might go one step farther , and enquire his Name ? (VANBR-E3-H,34.77)

<font> Lov. </font> <paren> <font> aside </font> </paren> She has
Reason on her side : (VANBR-E3-H,34.78)

I have talk'd too much : (VANBR-E3-H,34.79)

But I must turn it off another way . (VANBR-E3-H,34.80)

<paren> <font> To Aman. </font> </paren> Will you then make no
difference , <font> Amanda </font> , between the Language of our Sex
and yours ? (VANBR-E3-H,34.81)

There is a Modesty restrains your Tongues , which makes you speak by
halves when you commend ; (VANBR-E3-H,34.82)

but roving Flattery gives a loose to ours , which makes us still speak
double what we think : (VANBR-E3-H,34.83)

You shou'd not therefore , in so strict a sense , take what I said to
her Advantage . (VANBR-E3-H,34.84)

<font> Aman. </font> Those flights of Flattery , Sir , are to our Faces
only : (VANBR-E3-H,34.85)

When Women once are out of hearing , you are as modest in your
Commendations as we are . (VANBR-E3-H,34.86)

But I $shall $n't {TEXT:shan't} put you to the trouble of farther
Excuses , if you please this Business shall rest here .
(VANBR-E3-H,34.87)

Only give me leave to wish both-1 for your Peace and mine , that you
may never meet this Miracle of Beauty more . (VANBR-E3-H,34.88)

<font> Lov. </font> I am content . (VANBR-E3-H,34.89)

<font> Enter Servant . </font> (VANBR-E3-H,34.90)

<font> Serv. </font> Madam , $there $'s {TEXT:there's} a young Lady at
the Door in a Chair , desires to know whether your Ladyship sees
Company . (VANBR-E3-H,34.91)

I think her Name is <font> Berinthia </font> . (VANBR-E3-H,34.92)

<font> Aman. </font> O dear ! (VANBR-E3-H,34.93)

$'T $is {TEXT:'tis} a Relation I have not seen this five Years .
(VANBR-E3-H,34.94)

Pray her to walk in . (VANBR-E3-H,34.95)

<paren> <font> Exit Servant . (VANBR-E3-H,34.96)

To Lov. </font> </paren> $Here $'s {TEXT:Here's} another Beauty for you
. (VANBR-E3-H,34.97)

She was young when I saw her last ; (VANBR-E3-H,34.98)

but I hear $she $'s {TEXT:she's} grown extremely handsome .
(VANBR-E3-H,34.99)

<font> Lov. </font> $Do $n't {TEXT:Don't} you be jealous now ;
(VANBR-E3-H,34.100)

for I shall gaze upon her too . (VANBR-E3-H,34.101)

<font> Enter </font> Berinthia . (VANBR-E3-H,34.102)

<font> Lov. </font> <paren> <font> aside </font> </paren> Ha ! By
Heavens the very Woman . (VANBR-E3-H,34.103)

<font> Ber. </font> <paren> <font> saluting Aman. </font> </paren> Dear
<font> Amanda </font> , I did not expect to meet with you in Town .
(VANBR-E3-H,34.104)

<P_35>

<font> Aman. </font> Sweet Cousin , $I $'m {TEXT:I'm} over-joy'd to see
you . (VANBR-E3-H,35.106)

<paren> <font> To Lov. </font> </paren> Mr. <font> Loveless </font> ,
$here $'s {TEXT:here's} a Relation and a Friend of mine , I desire $you
$'ll {TEXT:you'll} be better acquainted with . (VANBR-E3-H,35.107)

<font> Lov. </font> <paren> <font> saluting Ber. </font> </paren> If my
Wife never desires a harder thing , Madam , her Request will be easily
granted . (VANBR-E3-H,35.108)

<font> Ber. </font> <paren> <font> to Aman. </font> </paren> I think ,
Madam , I ought to wish you Joy . (VANBR-E3-H,35.109)

<font> Aman. </font> Joy ! (VANBR-E3-H,35.110)

Upon what ? (VANBR-E3-H,35.111)

<font> Ber. </font> Upon your Marriage : (VANBR-E3-H,35.112)

You were a Widow when I saw you last . (VANBR-E3-H,35.113)

<font> Lov. </font> You ought rather , Madam , to wish me Joy upon that
, since I am the only Gainer . (VANBR-E3-H,35.114)

<font> Ber. </font> If she has got so good a Husband as the World
reports , she has gain'd enough to expect the Complements of her
Friends upon it . (VANBR-E3-H,35.115)

<font> Lov. </font> If the World is so favourable to me , to allow I
deserve that Title , I hope $'t $is {TEXT:'tis} so just to my Wife to
own I derive it from her . (VANBR-E3-H,35.116)

<font> Ber. </font> Sir , it is so just to you both , to own you are ,
<paren> and deserve to be , </paren> the happiest Pair that live in it
. (VANBR-E3-H,35.117)

<font> Lov. </font> $I $'m {TEXT:I'm} afraid we shall lose that
Character , Madam , whenever you happen to change your Condition .
(VANBR-E3-H,35.118)

<font> Enter Servant . </font> (VANBR-E3-H,35.119)

<font> Ser. </font> Sir , my Lord <font> Foppington </font> presents
his humble Service to you , (VANBR-E3-H,35.120)

and desires to know how you do . (VANBR-E3-H,35.121)

He but just now heard you were in Town . (VANBR-E3-H,35.122)

$He $'s {TEXT:He's} at the next door ; (VANBR-E3-H,35.123)

and if it be not inconvenient , $he $'ll {TEXT:he'll} come and wait
upon you . (VANBR-E3-H,35.124)

<font> Lov. </font> Lord <font> Foppington </font> ! -
(VANBR-E3-H,35.125)

I know him not . (VANBR-E3-H,35.126)

<font> Ber. </font> Not his Dignity , perhaps , (VANBR-E3-H,35.127)

but you do his Person . (VANBR-E3-H,35.128)

$'T $is {TEXT:'Tis} Sir <font> Novelty </font> ; (VANBR-E3-H,35.129)

he has bought a Barony in order to marry a great Fortune :
(VANBR-E3-H,35.130)

His Patent has not been pass'd eight-and-forty Hours ,
(VANBR-E3-H,35.131)

and he has already sent How-do-ye's to all the Town , to make 'em
acquainted with his Title . (VANBR-E3-H,35.132)

<font> Lov. </font> Give my Service to his Lordship ,
(VANBR-E3-H,35.133)

and let him know , I am proud of the Honour he intends me .
(VANBR-E3-H,35.134)

<paren> <font> Ex. Ser. </font> </paren> (VANBR-E3-H,35.135)

Sure this Addition of Quality , must have so improv'd this Coxcomb , he
$can $n't {TEXT:can't} but be very good Company for a quarter of an
Hour . (VANBR-E3-H,35.136)

<font> Aman. </font> Now it moves my Pity more than my Mirth , to see a
Man whom Nature has made no Fool , be so very industrious to pass for
an Ass . (VANBR-E3-H,35.137)

<font> Lov. </font> No , there you are wrong , <font> Amanda </font> ;
(VANBR-E3-H,35.138)

you shou'd never bestow your pity upon those who take pains for your
Contempt . (VANBR-E3-H,35.139)

Pity those whom Nature abuses but never those who abuse Nature .
(VANBR-E3-H,35.140)

<font> Ber. </font> Besides , the Town wou'd be robb'd of one of its
chief Diversions , if it shou'd become a Crime to laugh at a Fool .
(VANBR-E3-H,35.141)

<font> Aman. </font> I cou'd never yet perceive the Town inclin'd to
part with any of its diversions , for the sake of their being Crimes ;
(VANBR-E3-H,35.142)

but I have seen it very fond of some , I think , had little else to
recommend 'em . (VANBR-E3-H,35.143)

<P_36>

<font> Ber. </font> I doubt , <font> Amanda </font> , you are grown its
Enemy , you speak with so much warmth against it . (VANBR-E3-H,36.145)

<font> Aman. </font> I must confess I am not much its Friend .
(VANBR-E3-H,36.146)

<font> Ber. </font> Then give me leave to make you mine , by not
engaging in its Quarrel . (VANBR-E3-H,36.147)

<font> Aman. </font> You have many stronger Claims than that , <font>
Berinthia </font> , whenever you think fit to plead your Title .
(VANBR-E3-H,36.148)

<font> Lov. </font> You have done well to engage a Second , my Dear ;
(VANBR-E3-H,36.149)

for $here {TEXT:he} comes one will be apt to call you to an account for
your Country-Principles . (VANBR-E3-H,36.150)

<font> Enter Lord </font> Foppington . (VANBR-E3-H,36.151)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> <paren> <font> to Lov. </font> </paren> Sir ,
I am your most humble Servant . (VANBR-E3-H,36.152)

<font> Lov. </font> I wish you Joy , my Lord . (VANBR-E3-H,36.153)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> O Lard , Sir - Madam , your $Ladyship $'s
{TEXT:Ladyship's} welcome to Tawn . (VANBR-E3-H,36.154)

<font> Aman. </font> I wish your Lordship Joy . (VANBR-E3-H,36.155)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> O Heavens , Madam - (VANBR-E3-H,36.156)

<font> Lov. </font> My Lord , this young Lady is a Relation of my Wives
. (VANBR-E3-H,36.157)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> <paren> <font> saluting her . </font> </paren>
The beautifull'st Race of People upon Earth : (VANBR-E3-H,36.158)

Rat me . (VANBR-E3-H,36.159)

Dear <font> Loveless </font> , I am overjoy'd to see you have braught
your Family to Tawn again ; (VANBR-E3-H,36.160)

I am , stap my Vitals - (VANBR-E3-H,36.161)

<paren> <font> Aside . </font> </paren> Far I design to lye with your
Wife . (VANBR-E3-H,36.162)

<paren> <font> To Aman. </font> </paren> Far Gad's sake , Madam , haw
has your Ladyship been able to subsist thus long , under the Fatigue of
a Country Life ? (VANBR-E3-H,36.163)

<font> Aman. </font> My Life has been very far from that , my Lord ;
(VANBR-E3-H,36.164)

it has been a very quiet one . (VANBR-E3-H,36.165)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> Why , $that $'s {TEXT:that's} the Fatigue I
speak of , Madam : (VANBR-E3-H,36.166)

For $'t $is {TEXT:'tis} impossible to be quiet , without thinking :
(VANBR-E3-H,36.167)

Now thinking is to me , the greatest Fatigue in the World .
(VANBR-E3-H,36.168)

<font> Aman. </font> Does not your Lordship love reading then ?
(VANBR-E3-H,36.169)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> Oh , passionately , Madam -
(VANBR-E3-H,36.170)

But I never think of what I read . (VANBR-E3-H,36.171)

<font> Ber. </font> Why , can your Lordship read without thinking ?
(VANBR-E3-H,36.172)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> O Lard - Can your Ladyship pray without
Devotion - Madam ? (VANBR-E3-H,36.173)

<font> Aman. </font> Well , I must own I think Books the best
Entertainment in the World . (VANBR-E3-H,36.174)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> I am so much of your Ladyship's Mind , Madam ;
that I have a private Gallery <paren> where I walk sometimes </paren>
is furnish'd with nothing but Books and Looking-glasses .
(VANBR-E3-H,36.175)

Madam , I have guilded 'em , and rang'd 'em , so prettily , before Gad
, it is the most entertaining thing in the World to walk and look upon
'em . (VANBR-E3-H,36.176)

<P_37>

<font> Aman. </font> Nay , I love a neat Library too ;
(VANBR-E3-H,37.178)

but $'t $is {TEXT:'tis} , I think , the Inside of a Book shou'd
recommend it most to us . (VANBR-E3-H,37.179)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> That , I must confess , I am nat altogether so
fand of . (VANBR-E3-H,37.180)

Far to mind the inside of a Book , is to entertain ones self with the
forc'd Product of another Man's Brain . (VANBR-E3-H,37.181)

Naw I think a Man of Quality and Breeding may be much diverted with the
Natural Sprauts of his own . (VANBR-E3-H,37.182)

But to say the truth , Madam , let a Man love reading never so well ,
when once he comes to know this Tawn , he finds so many better ways of
passing away {COM:sic} the Four and Twenty Hours , that $'t $were
{TEXT:'twere} Ten Thousand pities he shou'd consume his time in that .
(VANBR-E3-H,37.183)

Far example , Madam , my Life ; (VANBR-E3-H,37.184)

my Life , Madam , is a perpetual Stream of Pleasure , that glides thro'
such a Variety of Entertainments , I believe the wisest of our
Ancestors never had the least Conception of any of 'em .
(VANBR-E3-H,37.185)

I rise , Madam , about Ten a-Clock . (VANBR-E3-H,37.186)

I $do $n't {TEXT:don't} rise sooner , because $'t $is {TEXT:'tis} the
worst thing in the World for the Complexion ; (VANBR-E3-H,37.187)

nat that I pretend to be a Beau ; (VANBR-E3-H,37.188)

but a Man must endeavour to look wholesome , lest he makes so nauseous
a Figure in the Side-bax , the Ladies shou'd be compell'd to turn their
Eyes upon the Play . (VANBR-E3-H,37.189)

So at Ten o'clock I say I rise . (VANBR-E3-H,37.190)

Naw if I find $'t $is {TEXT:'tis} a good Day , I resalve to take a Turn
in the Park , and see the fine Women ; (VANBR-E3-H,37.191)

so huddle on my Cloaths , (VANBR-E3-H,37.192)

and get dress'd by One . (VANBR-E3-H,37.193)

If it be nasty Weather , I take a Turn in the Chocolate-hause ; where ,
as you walk , Madam , you have the prettiest Prospect in the World ;
(VANBR-E3-H,37.194)

you have Looking-glasses all round you - (VANBR-E3-H,37.195)

But $I $'m {TEXT:I'm} afraid I tire the Company . (VANBR-E3-H,37.196)

<font> Ber. </font> Not at all .

Pray go on . (VANBR-E3-H,37.198)

<font> Lord Fop. </font> Why then , Ladies , from thence I go to Dinner
at <font> Lacket's </font> , (VANBR-E3-H,37.199)

and there you are so nicely and delicately serv'd , that , stap my
Vitals , they shall compose you a Dish , no bigger than a Saucer ,
shall come to fifty Shillings . (VANBR-E3-H,37.200)

Between eating my Dinner , <paren> and washing my Mauth , Ladies
</paren> I spend my time , till I go to the Play ; where , till Nine
a-Clack , I entertain my self with looking upon the Company ; and
usually dispose of one Hour more in leading them aut .
(VANBR-E3-H,37.201)

So $there $'s {TEXT:there's} twelve of the Four-and-Twenty pretty well
over . (VANBR-E3-H,37.202)

The other Twelve , Madam , are dispos'd of in Two Articles :

Far your Ladyship <P_38> may please to take notice , that those who

People of that Rank being under those Decorums , they can seldom give
you a langer View , than will just serve to shoot 'em flying . So that
the Course of my other Pleasures is not very much interrupted by my

<paren> <font> To Y. Fash. </font> </paren> I hope your Honour will
excuse my mismanners to whisper before you , (VANBR-E3-H,63.660)

<font> Y. Fash. </font> O every thing , Madam , is to give way to
Business ; (VANBR-E3-H,63.662)

and Sir <font> Tunbelly </font> wou'd make us stay a Week for a
Wedding-Dinner . (VANBR-E3-H,64.676)

Now all things being Sign'd , and Seal'd , and Agreed , I fancy there
cou'd be no great harm in practising a Scene or two of Matrimony in
private , if it were only to give us the better assurance when we come
to play it in publick . (VANBR-E3-H,64.677)

<font> Nurse . </font> Nay , I must confess stolen Pleasures are sweet
; (VANBR-E3-H,64.678)

however , to strengthen your interest with him , you may let him know I
