LADY PLYANT。  O Lord� �sir�察�pardon me�察�we women have not those

advantages�察�I know my imperfections。  But at the same time you must

give me leave to declare in the face of the world that nobody is

more sensible of favours and things�察�for with the reserve of my

honour I assure you�察�Mr。 Careless�察�I don't know anything in the

world I would refuse to a person so meritorious。  You'll pardon my

want of expression。



CARE。  O�察�your ladyship is abounding in all excellence�察�particularly

that of phrase。



LADY PLYANT。  You are so obliging�察�sir。



CARE。  Your ladyship is so charming。



SIR PAUL。  So�察�now�察�now�察�now�察�my lady。



LADY PLYANT。  So well bred。



CARE。  So surprising。

unaffected�察�so easy�察�so free�察�so particular�察�so agreeable。



SIR PAUL。  Ay�察�so�察�so�察�there。



CARE。  O Lord�察�I beseech you madam�察�don't。



LADY PLYANT。  So gay�察�so graceful�察�so good teeth�察�so fine shape�察�so

fine limbs�察�so fine linen�察�and I don't doubt but you have a very

good skin�察�sir��



CARE。  For heaven's sake�察�madam�察�I'm quite out of countenance。



SIR PAUL。  And my lady's quite out of breath�察�or else you should

hearGads´bud�察�you may talk of my Lady Froth。



CARE。  O fie�察�fie�察�not to be named of a day。  My Lady Froth is very

well in her accomplishments。  But it is when my Lady Plyant is not

thought of。  If that can ever be。



LADY PLYANT。  O�察�you overcome me。  That is so excessive。



SIR PAUL。  Nay�察�I swear and vow that was pretty。



CARE。  O�察�Sir Paul�察�you are the happiest man alive。  Such a lady��

that is the envy of her own sex�察�and the admiration of ours。



SIR PAUL。  Your humble servant。  I am�察�I thank heaven�察�in a fine way

of living�察�as I may say�察�peacefully and happily�察�and I think need

not envy any of my neighbours�察�blessed be providence。  Ay�察�truly��

Mr。 Careless�察�my lady is a great blessing�察�a fine�察�discreet�察�well´

spoken woman as you shall see�察�if it becomes me to say so�察�and we

live very comfortably together�察�she is a little hasty sometimes�察�and

so am I�察�but mine's soon over�察�and then I'm so sorry。O Mr。

Careless�察�if it were not for one thing ´





SCENE VII。





CARELESS�察�SIR PAUL�察�LADY PLYANT�察�BOY with a letter。



LADY PLYANT。  How often have you been told of that�察�you jackanapes��



SIR PAUL。  Gad so�察�gad's´bud。  Tim�察�carry it to my lady�察�you should

have carried it to my lady first。



BOY。  'Tis directed to your worship。



SIR PAUL。  Well�察�well�察�my lady reads all letters first。  Child�察�do

so no more�察�d'ye hear�察�Tim。



BOY。  No�察�and please you。





SCENE VIII。





CARELESS�察�SIR PAUL�察�LADY PLYANT。



SIR PAUL。  A humour of my wife's�此 �you know women have little

fancies。  But as I was telling you�察�Mr。 Careless�察�if it were not for

one thing�察�I should think myself the happiest man in the world��

indeed that touches me near�察�very near。



CARE。  What can that be�察�Sir Paul��



SIR PAUL。  Why�察�I have�察�I thank heaven�察�a very plentiful fortune�察�a

good estate in the country�察�some houses in town�察�and some money�察�a

pretty tolerable personal estate�察�and it is a great grief to me��

indeed it is�察�Mr。 Careless�察�that I have not a son to inherit this。

'Tis true I have a daughter�察�and a fine dutiful child she is�察�though

I say it�察�blessed be providence I may say�察�for indeed�察�Mr。 Careless��

I am mightily beholden to providence。  A poor unworthy sinner。  But

if I had a son�  �Ah�察�that's my affliction�察�and my only affliction��

indeed I cannot refrain tears when it comes in my mind。  ��Cries。��



CARE。  Why�察�methinks that might be easily remediedmy lady's a fine

likely woman ´



SIR PAUL。  Oh�察�a fine likely woman as you shall see in a summer's

day。  Indeed she is�察�Mr。 Careless�察�in all respects。



CARE。  And I should not have taken you to have been so old ´



SIR PAUL。  Alas�察�that's not it�察�Mr。 Careless�察�ah� �that's not it�察�no��

no�察�you shoot wide of the mark a mile�察�indeed you do�察�that's not it��

Mr。 Careless�察�no�察�no�察�that's not it。



CARE。  No�拭 �What can be the matter then��



SIR PAUL。  You'll scarcely believe me when I shall tell youmy lady

is so nice。  It's very strange�察�but it's true�察�too trueshe's so

very nice�察�that I don't believe she would touch a man for the world。

At least not above once a year�察�I'm sure I have found it so�察�and��

alas�察�what's once a year to an old man�察�who would do good in his

generation�拭 �Indeed it's true�察�Mr。 Careless�察�it breaks my heart。  I

am her husband�察�as I may say�察�though far unworthy of that honour��

yet I am her husband�察�but alas´a´day�察�I have no more familiarity

with her personas to that matterthan with my own motherno

indeed。



CARE。  Alas´a´day�察�this is a lamentable story。  My lady must be told

on't。  She must i'faith�察�Sir Paul�察�'tis an injury to the world。



SIR PAUL。  Ah� �would to heaven you would�察�Mr。 Careless�察�you are

mightily in her favour。



CARE。  I warrant you�察�what� �we must have a son some way or other。



SIR PAUL。  Indeed I should be mightily bound to you if you could

bring it about�察�Mr。 Careless。



LADY PLYANT。  Here�察�Sir Paul�察�it's from your steward。  Here's a

return of 600 pounds�察�you may take fifty of it for the next half

year。  ��Gives him the letter。��





SCENE IX。





��To them�А�LORD FROTH�察�CYNTHIA。



SIR PAUL。  How does my girl�拭 �Come hither to thy father�察�poor lamb��

thou'rt melancholic。



LORD FROTH。  Heaven�察�Sir Paul�察�you amaze me�察�of all things in the

world。  You are never pleased but when we are all upon the broad

grin�此 �all laugh and no company�察�ah�察�then 'tis such a sight to see

some teeth。  Sure you're a great admirer of my Lady Whifler�察�Mr。

Sneer�察�and Sir Laurence Loud�察�and that gang。



SIR PAUL。  I vow and swear she's a very merry woman�察�but I think she

laughs a little too much。



LORD FROTH。  Merry�  �O Lord�察�what a character that is of a woman of

quality。  You have been at my Lady Whifler's upon her day�察�madam��



CYNT。  Yes�察�my lord。  I must humour this fool。  ��Aside。��



LORD FROTH。  Well�察�and how�拭�hee�  �What is your sense of the

conversation��



CYNT。  Oh�察�most ridiculous�察�a perpetual comfort of laughing without

any harmony�察�for sure�察�my lord�察�to laugh out of time�察�is as

disagreeable as to sing out of time or out of tune。



LORD FROTH。  Hee�察�hee�察�hee�察�right�察�and then�察�my Lady Whifler is so

readyshe always comes in three bars too soon。  And then�察�what do

they laugh at�拭 �For you know laughing without a jest is as

impertinent�察�hee� �as�察�as ´



CYNT。  As dancing without a fiddle。



LORD FROTH。  Just i'faith�察�that was at my tongue's end。



CYNT。  But that cannot be properly said of them�察�for I think they

are all in good nature with the world�察�and only laugh at one

another�察�and you must allow they have all jests in their persons��

though they have none in their conversation。



LORD FROTH。  True�察�as I'm a person of honour。  For heaven's sake let

us sacrifice 'em to mirth a little。  ��Enter BOY and whispers SIR

PAUL。��



SIR PAUL。  Gads so。Wife�察�wife�察�my Lady Plyant�察�I have a word。



LADY PLYANT。  I'm busy�察�Sir Paul�察�I wonder at your impertinence。



CARE。  Sir Paul�察�harkee�察�I'm reasoning the matter you know。  Madam��

if your ladyship please�察�we'll discourse of this in the next room。



SIR PAUL。  O ho�察�I wish you good success�察�I wish you good success。

Boy�察�tell my lady�察�when she has done�察�I would speak with her below。





SCENE X。





CYNTHIA�察�LORD FROTH�察�LADY FROTH�察�BRISK。



LADY FROTH。  Then you think that episode between Susan�察�the dairy´

maid�察�and our coachman is not amiss�察�you know�察�I may suppose the

dairy in town�察�as well as in the country。



BRISK。  Incomparable�察�let me perish。  But then�察�being an heroic

poem�察�had you not better call him a charioteer�拭 �Charioteer sounds

great�察�besides�察�your ladyship's coachman having a red face�察�and you

comparing him to the sunand you know the sun is called Heaven's

charioteer。



LADY FROTH。  Oh�察�infinitely better�察�I'm extremely beholden to you

for the hint�察�stay�察�we'll read over those half a score lines again。

��Pulls out a paper。�А �Let me see here�察�you know what goes before��

the comparison�察�you know。  ��Reads。��





For as the sun shines ev'ry day��

So of our coachman I may say。





BRISK。  I'm afraid that simile won't do in wet weather�察�because you

say the sun shines every day。



LADY FROTH。  No�察�for the sun it won't�察�but it will do for the

coachman�察�for you know there's most occasion for a coach in wet

weather。



BRISK。  Right�察�right�察�that saves all。



LADY FROTH。  Then I don't say the sun shines all the day�察�but that

he peeps now and then�察�yet he does shine all the day too�察�you know��

though we don't see him。



BRISK。  Right�察�but the vulgar will never comprehend that。



LADY FROTH。  Well�察�you shall hear。  Let me see。  ��Reads。��





For as the sun shines ev'ry day��

So of our coachman I may say��

He shows his drunken fiery face��

Just as the sun does�察�more or less。





BRISK。  That's right�察�all's well�察�all's well。  'More or less。'



LADY FROTH reads��





And when at night his labour's done��

Then too�察�like Heav'n's charioteer the sun��





Ay�察�charioteer does better。





Into the dairy he descends��

And there his whipping and his driving ends��

There he's secure from danger of a bilk��

His fare is paid him�察�and he sets in milk。





For Susan you know�察�is Thetis�察�and so ´



BRISK。  Incomparable well and proper�察�egadbut I have one exception

to makedon't you think bilk��I know it's good rhyme��but don't

you think BILK and FARE too like a hackney coachman��



LADY FROTH。  I swear and vow I'm afraid so。  And yet our Jehu was a

hackney coachman�察�when my lord took him。



BRISK。  Was he�拭 �I'm answered�察�if Jehu was a hackney coachman。  You

may put that in the marginal notes though�察�to prevent criticism

only mark it with a small asterism�察�and say�察�'Jehu was formerly a

hackney coachman。'



LADY FROTH。  I will。  You'd oblige me extremely to write notes to

the whole poem。



BRISK。  With all my heart and soul�察�and proud of the vast honour��

let me perish。



LORD FROTH。  Hee�察�hee�察�hee�察�my dear�察�have you done�拭�won't you join

with us�拭 �We were laughing at my Lady Whifler and Mr。 Sneer。



LADY FROTH。  Ay�察�my dear�察�were you�拭 �Oh�察�filthy Mr。 Sneer�察�he's a

nauseous figure�察�a most fulsamic fop�察�foh�  �He spent two days

together in going about Covent Garden to suit the lining of his

coach with his complexion。



LORD FROTH。  O silly� �yet his aunt is as fond of him as if she had

brought the ape into the world herself。



BRISK。  Who�察�my Lady Toothless�拭 �Oh�察�she's a mortifying spectacle��

she's always chewing the cud like an old ewe。



CYNT。  Fie�察�Mr。 Brisk�察�eringo's for her cough。



LADY FROTH。  I have seen her take 'em half chewed out of her mouth��

to laugh�察�and then put 'em in again。  Foh��
