Fred. Thou knowest my grateful Temper,

—No matter; here, carry this Letter to Cloris,

And make some excuse for my not coming this Evening. Gives him a Letter, and goes out with Lorenzo.

Gal. So, poor Lass, ’tis a hundred to one if she be not

Lay’d by now, and Laura must succeed her:

Well, even Frederick, I see, is but a Man,

But his Youth and Quality will excuse him;

And ’twill be call’d Gallantry in him,

When in one of us, ’tis Ill-nature and Inconstancy.
