Scene 15.

LUCY, MACHEATH, POLLY.
MACHEATH.

My dear Lucy—My dear Polly. Whatsoever hath pass'd between us is now at an end—if you are fond of marrying again, the best Advice I can give you is to Ship yourselves to the West-Indies, where you'll have a fair Chance of getting a Husband a-piece, or by good Luck, two or three, as you like best.


POLLY.

How can I support this Sight!


LUCY.

There is nothing moves one so much as a great Man in Distress.
