SCENE CHANGES TO THE MOON, and discovers Popgun and Pistoletta.
Pistoletta
Pray papa how far is it to London?
Popgun
My Girl, my Darling, my favourite of all my Children, who art the picture of thy poor Mother who died two months ago, with whom I am going to Town to marry to Strephon, and to whom I mean to bequeath my whole Estate, it wants seven Miles.
SCENE CHANGES TO THE SUN—
Enter Chloe and a chorus of ploughboys.
Chloe
Where am I? At Hounslow.—Where go I? To London—. What to do? To be married—. Unto whom? Unto Strephon. Who is he? A Youth. Then I will sing a song.
SONG
I go to Town
And when I come down,
I shall be married to Streephon.*
And that to me will be fun.
