<font> Dor. </font> Sprightly , but not wandring ; they seem'd to view

to tell me that he cou'd with Pride dye at my Feet , tho' he scorn'd
Slavery any where else . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,23.117)

Captain is a good travelling Name , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,27.323)

(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.448)

and $I $'m {TEXT:I'm} dying for love of her . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.449)

<font> Arch. </font> Ha , ha , ha Are you in love with her Person , or
her Vertue , Brother <font> Scrub </font> ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.450)

<font> Scrub . </font> I should like Vertue best , because it is more
durable than Beauty ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.451)

for Vertue holds good with some Women long , and many a Day after they
have lost it . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.452)

<font> Arch. </font> In the Country , I grant ye , where no Woman's
Vertue is lost , till a Bastard be found . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.453)

<font> Scrub . </font> Ay , cou'd I bring her to a Bastard , I shou'd
have her all to my self ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.454)

but I dare not put it upon that Lay , for fear of being sent for a
Soldier . - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.455)

Pray , Brother , how do you Gentlemen in <font> London </font> like
that same Pressing Act ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.456)

<font> Arch. </font> Very ill , Brother <font> Scrub </font> ; -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.457)

$'T $is {TEXT:'Tis} the worst that ever was made for us :
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.458)

Formerly I remember the good Days , when we cou'd dun our Masters for
our Wages , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,30.459)

and if they refused to pay us , we cou'd have a Warrant to $carry $'em
{TEXT:carry'em} before a <P_31> Justice ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.460)

but now if we talk of eating , they have a Warrant for us ,
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.461)

and carry us before three Justices . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.462)

<font> Scrub . </font> And to be sure we go , if we talk of eating ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.463)

for the Justices $wo $n't {TEXT:won't} give their own Servants a bad
Example . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.464)

Now this is my Misfortune - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.465)

I dare not speak in the House , while that jade <font> Gipsey </font>
dings about like a Fury - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.466)

Once I had the better end of the Staff . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.467)

<font> Arch. </font> And how comes the Change now ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.468)

<font> Scrub . </font> Why , the Mother of all this Mischief is a
Priest . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.469)

<font> Arch. </font> A Priest ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.470)

<font> Scrub . </font> Ay , a damn'd Son of a Whore of <font> Babylon
</font> , that came over hither to say Grace to the <font> French
</font> Officers , and eat up our Provisions - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.471)

$There $'s {TEXT:There's} not a Day goes over his Head with out Dinner
or Supper in this House . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.472)

<font> Arch. </font> How came he so familiar in the Family ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.473)

<font> Scrub . </font> Because he speaks <font> English </font> as if
he had liv'd here all his Life ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.474)

and tells Lies as if he had been a Traveller from his Cradle .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.475)

<font> Arch. </font> And this Priest , $I $'m {TEXT:I'm} afraid has
converted the Affections of your <font> Gipsey </font> .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.476)

<font> Scrub . </font> Converted ! ay , and perverted , my dear Friend

(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.478)

But this is not all ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.479)

$there $'s {TEXT:there's} the <font> French </font> Count and Mrs.

<font> Arch. </font> A very hopeful Family yours , Brother <font> Scrub

What $d' $ye {TEXT:d'ye} think is my Place in this Family ?

But what Ladies are those ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.501)

<font> $Scrub {TEXT:Arch.} </font> Ours , ours ;

(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,31.503)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> I have heard my Brother talk of my Lord

but they say that his Brother is the finer Gentleman .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.510)

<font> Dor. </font> $That $'s {TEXT:That's} impossible , Sister .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.511)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> $He $'s {TEXT:He's} vastly rich , but very
close , they say . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.512)

<font> Dor. </font> No matter for that ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.513)

if I can creep into his Heart , $I $'ll {TEXT:I'll} open his Breast , I
warrant him : (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.514)

I have heard say , that People may be guess'd at by the Behaviour of
their Servants ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.515)

I cou'd wish we might talk to that Fellow . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.516)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> So do I ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.517)

for , I think $he $'s {TEXT:he's} a very pretty Fellow :
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.518)

Come this way , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.519)

$I $'ll {TEXT:I'll} throw out a Lure for him presently .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.520)

<paren> They walk a turn towards the opposite side of the Stage ,

Mrs. <font> Sullen </font> drops her Glove , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.522)

<font> Archer </font> runs , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.523)

takes it up , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.524)

<font> Arch. </font> Corn , Wine , and Oil , indeed -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.526)

But , I think , the Wife has the greatest plenty of Flesh and Blood ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.527)

she should be my Choice - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.528)

Ah , a , say you so Madam - Your Ladyship's Glove .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.529)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> O , Sir , I thank you -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.530)

what a handsom Bow the Fellow has ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.531)

<font> Dor. </font> Bow ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.532)

why I have known several Footmen come down from <font> London </font>
set up here for Dancing-Masters , and carry off the best Fortunes in
the Country . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.533)

<font> Arch. </font> <paren> <font> Aside . </font> </paren> That
Project , for ought I know , had been better than ours , Brother <font>
Scrub </font> - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.534)

Why $do $n't {TEXT:don't} you introduce me . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.535)

<font> Scrub . </font> Ladies , this is the strange Gentleman's Servant
that you see at Church to Day ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.536)

I understood he came from <font> London </font> ,
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.537)

and so I invited him to the Cellar , that he might show me the newest
Flourish in whetting my Knives . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.538)

<font> Dor. </font> And I hope you have made much of him ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.539)

<font> Arch. </font> O yes , Madam , but the Strength of your
Ladyship's Liquour is a little too potent for the Constitution of your
humble Servant . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.540)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> What , then you $do $n't {TEXT:don't} usually
drink Ale ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.541)

<font> Arch. </font> No , Madam , my constant Drink is Tea , or a
little Wine and Water ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.542)

$'t $is {TEXT:'tis} prescrib'd me by the Physician for a Remedy against
the Spleen . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.543)

<font> Scrub . </font> O la , O la ! - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.544)

a Footman have the Spleen . - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.545)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> I thought that Distemper had been only proper
to People of Quality . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,32.546)

<P_33>

<font> Arch. </font> Madam , like all other Fashions it wears out ,
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.548)

and so descends to their Servants ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.549)

tho' in a great many of us , I believe it proceeds from some
melancholly Particles in the Blood , occason'd by the Stagnation of
Wages . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.550)

<font> Dor. </font> How affectedly the Fellow talks -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.551)

How long , pray , have you serv'd your present Master ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.552)

<font> Arch. </font> Not long ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.553)

my Life has been mostly spent in the Service of the Ladies .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.554)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> And pray , which Service do you like best ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.555)

<font> Arch. </font> Madam , the Ladies pay best ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.556)

the Honour of serving there is sufficient Wages ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.557)

there is a Charm in their looks that delivers a Pleasure with their
Commands , and gives our Duty the Wings of Inclination .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.558)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> That Flight was above the pitch of a Livery ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.559)

and , Sir , wou'd not you be satisfied to serve a Lady again ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.560)

<font> Arch. </font> As a Groom of the Chamber , Madam , but not as a
Footman . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.561)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> I suppose you serv'd as Footman before .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.562)

<font> Arch. </font> For that Reason I wou'd not serve in that Post
again ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.563)

for my Memory is too weak for the load of Messages that the Ladies lay
upon their Servants in <font> London </font> ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.564)

my Lady <font> Howd'ye </font> , the last Mistress I serv'd call'd me
up one Morning , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.565)

and told me , <font> Martin </font> , go to my Lady <font> Allnight
</font> with my humble Service ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.566)

tell her I was to wait on her Ladyship yesterday , and left word with
Mrs. <font> Rebecca </font> , that the Preliminaries of the Affair she
knows of , are stopt till we know the concurrence of the Person that I
know of , for which there are Circumstances wanting which we shall
accommodate at the old Place ; but that in the mean time there is a
Person about her Ladyship , that from several Hints and Surmises , was
accessary at a certain time to the disappointments that naturally
attend things , that to her knowledge are of more Importance .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.567)

Mrs. <font> Sull. Dor. </font> Ha , ha , ha ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.568)

where are you going , Sir ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.569)

<font> Arch. </font> Why , I $ha $n't {TEXT:han't} half done . -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.570)

The whole Howd'ye was about half an Hour long ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.571)

so I hapned to misplace two Syllables , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.572)

and was turn'd off , and render'd incapable - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.573)

<font> Dor. </font> The pleasantest Fellow , Sister , I ever saw . -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.574)

But , Friend , if your Master be marry'd , - I presume you still serve
a Lady . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,33.575)

<P_34>

<font> Arch. </font> No , Madam , I take care never to come into a
marry'd Family ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.577)

the Commands of the Master and Mistress are always so contrary , $that
$'t $is {TEXT:that'tis} impossible to please both .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.578)

<font> Dor. </font> $There $'s {TEXT:There's} a main point gain'd . -

My Lord is not marry'd , I find . <paren> <font> Aside . </font>
</paren> (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.580)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> But , I wonder , Friend , that in so many
good Services , you had not a better Provision made for you .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.581)

<font> Arch. </font> I $do $n't {TEXT:don't} know how , Madam . -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.582)

I had a Lieutenancy offer'd mee three or four Times ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.583)

but that is not Bread , Madam - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.584)

I live much better as I do . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.585)

<font> Scrub . </font> Madam , he sings rarely . -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.586)

I was thought to do pretty well here in the Country till he came ;
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.587)

but alack a day , $I $'m {TEXT:I'm} nothing to my Brother <font> Martin
</font> . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.588)

<font> Dor. </font> Does he ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.589)

Pray , Sir , will you oblige us with a Song ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.590)

<font> Arch. </font> Are you for Passion , or Humour ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.591)

<font> Scrub . </font> O le ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.592)

<font> Sings to the Tune of Sir </font> Simon <font> the King </font>
{COM:song_omitted} (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.598)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> Very well , Sir , $we $'re {TEXT:we're}
obliged to you - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.599)

Something for a pair of Gloves . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.600)

Offering him Money . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.601)

<font> Arch. </font> I humbly beg leave to be excused :
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.602)

My Master , Madam , pays me ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.603)

nor dare I take Money from any other Hand without injuring his Honour ,
and disobeying his Commands . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.604)

<font> Exit . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.605)

Dor. </font> This is surprising : (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.606)

Did you ever see so pretty a well bred Fellow ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.607)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> The Devil take him for wearing that Livery .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.608)

<font> Dor. </font> I fancy , Sister , he may be some Gentleman , a
Friend of my Lords , that his Lordship has pitch'd upon for his Courage
, Fidelity , and Discretion to bear him Company in this Dress , and who
, ten to one was his Second too . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.609)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> It is so , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.610)

it must be so , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.611)

and it shall be so : - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.612)

For I like him . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.613)

<font> Dor. </font> What ! better than the Count ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.614)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> The Count happen'd to be the most agreeable
Man upon the Place ; (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.615)

and so I chose him to serve me in my Design upon my Husband . -
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.616)

But I shou'd like this Fellow better in a Design upon my self .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,34.617)

<P_35>

<font> Dor. </font> But now , Sister , for an Interview with this Lord
, and this Gentleman ; how shall we bring that about ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.619)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> Patience ! you Country Ladies give no Quarter
, if once you be enter'd . - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.620)

Wou'd you prevent their Desires , and give the Fellows no wishing-time
. - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.621)

$Look $ye {TEXT:Look'ye} , <font> Dorinda </font> , if my Lord <font>

a way to see you , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.622)

My Business comes now upon the Tapis - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.624)

Have you prepar'd your Brother ? (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.625)

<font> Dor. </font> Yes , yes . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.626)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> And how did he relish it ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.627)

<font> Dor. </font> He said little , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.628)

mumbled something to himself , (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.629)

promis'd to be guided by me : (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.630)

But here he comes - (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.631)

<font> Enter </font> Sullen . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.632)

<font> Sull. </font> What singing was that I heard just now ?
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.633)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> The singing in you're Head , my Dear ,

<font> Sull. </font> One Flesh ! (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.638)

rather two Carcasses join'd unnaturally together .
(FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.639)

Mrs. <font> Sull. </font> Or rather a living Soul coupled to a dead
Body . (FARQUHAR-E3-P2,35.640)
