Pa. A cruel Maid, that I could not be angry with if she kill'd me outright.
Ma. You're very good-humour'd; but why don't you take her Soul from her too, and pay her in her own Coin, according to the old Proverb.
Pa. I should be the happiest Man in the World, if I could make that Exchange, that her Heart would pass as wholly into my Breast, as mine has into hers.
Ma. But may I play the Sophister with you now?
Pa. The Sophistress.
Ma. Can one and the same Body be both alive and dead?
Pa. Not at the same Time.
Ma. Is the Body dead, when the Soul is out of it?
Pa. Yes.
Ma. Nor does it animate it, but when it is in it?
