Pa. No; but she is the Goddess of the Sea.
Ma. But I don't go to Sea.
Pa. But she has a Son.
Ma. Youth is not very formidable.
Pa. But he is very revengeful and resolute.
Ma. What will he do to me?
Pa. What will he do? That which I can't wish to be done to one I wish so well to. God forbid I should.
Ma. Tell me what it is, for I an't afraid to hear it.
Pa. Well, I'll tell you then; if you slight me that love you, and am no Way unworthy of your Love; I shall be much mistaken if he don't by his Mother's Order shoot you with a venomous Dart, and make you fall deeply in Love with some sorry Fellow or other, that would not love you again.
Ma. That's a most horrid Punishment indeed. I had rather die a thousand Deaths than to be so bitterly in Love with an ugly Man, and one that won't love me neither.
