The Wild-Goose Chase | ||
Scæn. 1.
Enter De-Gard, and Lugier.De-G.
'Twill be discover'd.
Lug.
That's the worst can happen:
If there be any way, to reach, and work upon him;
Upon his nature suddenly, and catch him: That he loves,
Though he dissemble it, and would shew contrary,
And will at length relent: I'll lay my Fortune,
Nay more, my life.
De G.
Is she won?
Lug.
Yes, and ready,
And my designments set.
De-G.
They are now for Travel,
All for that Game again: they have forgot wooing.
Lug.
Let 'em; we'll travel with 'em.
De-G.
Where's his Father?
Lug.
Within; he knows my minde too, and allows it;
Pitties your Sisters Fortune most sincerely;
And has appointed, for our more assistance,
Some of his secret Friends.
De-G.
'Speed the plowgh.
Lug.
Well said;
And be you serious too.
De-G.
I shall be diligent.
Lug.
Let's break the Ice for one, the rest will drink too
(Beleeve me, sir) of the same Cup; my young Gentlewomen
Wait but who sets the Game a foot; though they seem 'stubborn,
Reserv'd, and proud now, yet I know their hearts,
Their pulses, how they heat, and for what cause, Sir;
And how they long to venture their Abilities
In a true Quarrel; Husbands they must, and will have,
Or Nunneries, and thin Collations
To cool their bloods; Let's all about our business,
And if this faile, let Nature work.
De-G.
Ye have arm'd me.
Exeunt.
