SCENE V.
Mrs. Briar.I wou'd persuade you to your Ease, my Child:
And, if there is a Way to shun the Match
Which in his Rage your Father has propos'd,
I will assist you with a Mother's Zeal,
While I can act consistent with the Duty
Of Parent and of Wife.

Let us retire into your Chamber: there
I will relate to you the Secret which
I dread to tell my Father in his Anger:
There I'll describe to you the lovely'st Youth,
That ever fill'd a Virgin's Ear with Truth.
[They go.
