Enter to them Sir Feeble Fainwou’d.

Let. For shame of Modesty, Sir; you wou’d not have me go to Bed before all this Company.

Sir Feeb. What, the Women! why, they must see you laid, ‘tis the fashion.

Let. What, with a Man? I wou’d not for the World. Oh, Bellmour, where art thou with all thy promised aid? [Aside.

Dia. Nay, Madam, we shou’d see you laid indeed.

Let. First in my Grave, Diana.

Bel. [Within.] ‘Tis I, Sir, ‘tis I, open the door presently.
