SCENE IV.
Pamphilus looking after the Nymphs, Polydor.Pam.
Such a Wench
Would I give a Limb for now, although I begg'd
On Crutches ever after, and were confiscated to
The Hospital,—I must needs have her; and this
Same fellow shall be my agent in the business,
D'e hear Sir? do you know
Any of these Nymphs, I pray?
Pol.
That I do Sir, very well,
What then?
22
Why then I should desire
Your better acquaintance: For look ye Sir, suppose
A man should have a mind to one of them.
Pol.
A mind! What mind d'ye mean?
Pam.
Why a months mind or so.
Pol.
Why then Sir after a month, for ought I know
You may be rid on't—This is
(Aside
Some foolish stranger, rather deserving my
Pity than Anger.
Pam.
I hope you do not mock me Sir?
Pol.
Indeed Sir but I do.
Pam.
'tis well you confesse it, otherwise
I should be very angry—But since I see
Y'are a little dull; in plainer terms, I'd fain
Have about with one of them; d'ye apprehend me Sir?
Pol.
I think I shall do—But know you Sir where you are,
That you dare talk thus?
Pom.
Why, in Love's Dominions,
Where should I be?
Pol.
In Lusts rather, for Loves is not for you, if you
Be such an one, and so as Loves Minister,
Less you better know to temper your Toung, and mend
Your behaviour, I command you sir
23
Pam.
I hope you are not in earnest?
Pol.
Indeed sir but I am.
Pam.
Tis well you are so, for I
Don't love to be jested with I tell you plain.
Pol.
It seems you love to jest Sir, but
Look to't, and so farewell.
Exit
Pam.
Slud, this is the unreasonablest Fellow
I ever met withal in my life, a man
Cann't talk of a Wench but he is angry!
Temper your Tongue, and mend your behaviour,
When can you tell? Loves Minister d'ye call him,
If he teach no better doctrine, he scarce deserves
To be Minister to the Family of Love.
