Doct. Seignior—
Scar.—Besides a violent Inclination, Sir, of being initiated into the
Denomination of your learned Family, by the Conjugal Circumference of a
Matrimonial Tye, with that singularly accomplish’d Person—Madam, the
Governante of your Hostel—
Doct. Hum—A Sweet-heart for Mopsophil! [Aside.
Scar. And if I may obtain your Condescension to my Hymenaeal Propositions, I doubt not my Operation with the Fair One.
Doct. Seignior, she’s much honour’d in the Overture, and my Abilities shall not be wanting to fix the Concord.—But have you been a Traveller, Sir?
Scar. Without Circumlocutions, Sir, I have seen all the Regions beneath the Sun and Moon.
Doct. Moon, Sir! You never travell’d thither, Sir?
Scar. Not in Propria Persona, Seignior, but by Speculation, I have, and made most considerable Remarks on that incomparable Terra Firma, of which I have the compleatest Map in Christendom—and which Gonzales himself omitted in his Cosmographia of the Lunar Mundus.
Doct. A Map of the Lunar Mundus, Sir! may I crave the Honour of seeing it?
Scar. You shall, Sir, together with a Map of Terra Incognita; a great Rarity, indeed, Sir.
