Neverout. Methinks, Miss, I don’t much like the Colour of that Ribbon.
Miss. Why then, Mr. Neverout, do you see, if you don’t much like it, you may look off of it.
Ld. Sparkish. I don’t doubt, Madam, but your Ladyship has heard, that Sir John Brisk has got an Employment at Court.
Lady Smart. Yes, yes; and I warrant, he thinks himself no small Fool now.
Neverout. Yet, Madam, I have heard some People take him for a wise Man.
Lady Smart. Ay, ay; some are wise, and some are other-wise.
Lady Answ. Do you know him, Mr. Neverout?
Neverout. Know him! ay, as well as the Beggar knows his Dish.
Col. Well; I can only say, that he has better Luck than honester Folks: But pray, How came he to get this Employment?
