Enter Frederick and Laura.

Fred. Laura, consider well my Quality,

And be not angry with your Father’s Confidence,

Who left us here alone.

Lau. He will repent that Freedom when he knows

What use you’ve made on’t, Sir.

Fred. Fy, fy, Laura, a Lady bred at Court, and

Yet want complaisance enough to entertain

A Gallant in private! this coy Humour

Is not à-la-mode.—Be not so peevish with a Heart that dies for you.
