SCENE the last.

To them LOVEGIRLO, STORMANDRA, and a FIDLER.
KISSINDA.
Lovegirlo lives—oh! let my eager Arms
Press him to Death upon my panting Breast.

BILKUM.
Oh! all ye Powers of Gin, Stormandra lives.

STORMANDRA.
Nor Modesty, nor Pride, nor Fear, nor Rep,
Shall now forbid this tender chaste Embrace.
Henceforth I'm thine as long as e'er thou wilt.

GALLONO.
Lovegirlo!

LOVEGIRLO.
Oh, Joy unknown, Gallono.

MOTHER.
Come all at once to my capacious Arms,
I know not where I shou'd th'Embrace begin;
My Children! oh! with what tumultuous Joy
Do I behold your almost virtuous Loves.
But say, Lovegirlo, when we thought you dead;
Say, by what lucky Chance we see you here?

LOVEGIRLO.
In a few Words I'll satisfy your Doubt,
I through the Coat was, not the Body, run.

BILKUM.
But say, Stormandra, did I not behold
Thee hanging to the Curtains of thy Bed?

STORMANDRA.
No, my dear Love, it was my Gown, not me,
I did intend to hang my self, but ere
The Knot was ty'd, repented my Design.

KISSINDA.
Henceforth, Stormandra, never rivals more,
By Bilkum you, I by Lovegirlo kept.

LOVEGIRLO.
Foreseeing all this sudden Turn of Joy,
I've brought a Fidler to play forth the same.

MOTHER.
I too will shake a Foot on this blest Day.

LOVEGIRLO.
From such Examples as of this and that,
We all are taught to know I know not what.
