Bel. My Uncle’s Politicks, Hell take him for’t,
Has ruin’d me, thou and my Sister too,
By marrying me to a fair hated Maid,
When I had plighted all my Faith before.
Enter Trusty.
Trust. Sir, here’s a Coach.
Char. Come, Brother, will you go home with me?
Bel. Home!—no, never to that place thou call’st so.
If, when I’m dead, thou wouldst behold thy Brother,
And take the last Adieu from his cold Lips,
(If those so perjur’d can deserve that kindness)
Inquire for lost Celinda, at whose Feet
Thou shalt behold me fall’n a Sacrifice.
Till then, I’ll let mistaken Parents know
The mischiefs that ensue a broken Vow.
[Ex. severally.
ACT V.
SCENE I. Covent Garden.
Enter Betty Flauntit alone.
Flaunt. Sure I rose the wrong way to day, I have had such damn’d ill luck every way: First, to be sent for to such a Man as this Bellmour, and, as the Devil wou’d have it, to find my Knight there; then to be just upon the Point of making my Fortune, and to be interrupted by that virtuous Brother of his; then to have a Quarrel happen, that (before I could whisper him in the Ear, to say so much as, Meet me here again— anon) forc’d me to quit the House, lest the Constable had done it for me; then that that silly Baud should discover all to my Cully. If this be not ill Luck, the Devil’s in’t—But Driver must bring matters about, that I may see this liberal Squire again—But here comes my Noddy, I must pretend to be angry.
