Pa. Then don't provoke Justice, but love him that loves you.
Ma. Well, if that will do, I do love you again.
Pa. Ay, But I would have that Love constant as mine own. I court a Wife, not a Mistress.
Ma. I suppose so, but yet we ought to be very deliberate in that which being once done, can never be undone again.
Pa. I have been deliberating too long already.
Ma. Love is none of the best Advisers; see that he han't impos'd upon you, for they say he is blind.
Pa. But that Love has Eyes in his Head, that proceeds from Judgment; you don't appear so amiable, only because I love you, but you are really so, and therefore I love you.
Ma. But perhaps you don't know me thoroughly. When once a Shoe is on, then you'll know where it pinches.
Pa. I'll venture it, but I gather from many Conjectures, that it will be happy for me.
Ma. What, are you an Augur then?
