Man. Ay, my Lord, you so idoliz'd her before marriage, that you even indulg'd her like a mistress, after it; In short, you continued the lover, when you should have taken up the husband.
Lady Grace. O frightful! this is worse than t'other! can a husband love a wife too well!
Man. As easy, Madam, as a wife may love her husband too little.
Lord Town. So! you two are never like to agree, I find.
Lady Grace. Don't be positive, brother;——I am afraid we are both of a mind already. [Aside.] And do you, at this rate, ever intend to be married, Mr. Manly?
Man. Never, Madam; 'till I can meet a woman that likes my doctrine.
Lady Grace. 'Tis pity but your mistress should hear it.
Man. Pity me, Madam, when I marry the woman that won't hear it.
Lady Grace. I think, at least, he can't say that's me.
