Ga. He instructed me when I was young in these Precepts.
Er. You won't envy me, I hope, if I endeavour to imitate you?
Ga. Nay, by that Means you will be much dearer to me. For you know, Familiarity and good Will, are closer ty'd by Similitude of Manners.

Ga. No, nor between two Sweet-hearts of the same Mistress, when they are both sick of the same Love.
Er. But without jesting, I'll try to imitate that Course of Life.
Ga. I wish you as good Success as may be.
Er. It may be I shall overtake thee.
