Ara. Pray tell me, Sir, did you ever think a Woman true?
Sum. I have heard of some, but very few.
Ara. Will you add one more to your belief?
Sum. I think I may, for they were fewer than the Articles of my Faith, therefore I have room for you, and will believe you—Yet stay, you say you’l ransom your jewels with Ready-money when you come Home; so you may, and then discover me.
Ara. Shall I repeat the Vows I made?
Sum. No, for I’ll trust you; and if you do betray me, then Mercy upon me, and Farewel. I knew a Gentleman that had been a Courtier at Whitehall fifteen Years, and he was buried e’re he took a Bride: ’Tis very strange you’l say; and may be my Case in another way.
Ara. Come, Sir, never fear: A Man and afraid; Fie, fie!
Sum. Give me your Hand, I’ll wait on you; and if you are (as I believe you) True and Just, you are the World’s Wonder! Come, Madam.
[Exeunt.
