L. Lam. Ah, Desbro! thou art come in the [most lucky Minute]—I was just on the point of falling—As thou say’st, these Heroicks have the strangest Power—
L. Des. I never knew a Woman cou’d resist ’em.
L. Lam. No marvel then, our Husbands use ’em so, betray ’em, banish ’em, sequester, murder ’em, and every way disarm ’em—
L. Des. But their Eyes, Madam.
L. Lam. Ay, their Eyes, Desbro; I wonder our Lords shou’d take away their Swords, and let ’em wear their Eyes.
L. Des. I’ll move it to the Committee of Safety, Madam, those Weapons should be taken from ’em too.
L. Lam. Still they’ll have some to be reveng’d on us.
L. Des. Ay, so they will will; My Lord says, a Cavalier is a kind of Hydra, knock him o’th’ Head as often as you will, he has still one to peep up withal.
