Figaro. (With fond Vivacity). And dost thou love me?

Susan. (Tenderly). Too much, I doubt.

Figaro. Ah!—That’s but little.

Susan. How!

Figaro. In Love’s Creed, too much is not even enough.

Susan. I understand nothing of this over-refinement, but I feel I shall love my Husband most heartily.

Figaro. Keep thy word, and put our modern Wives to the blush.

Susan. Afford them a subject to laugh and point at, thou mean’st.

Enter the COUNTESS.

Countess. Wherever you meet One of them, be certain you shall find a Pair. (They salute the Countess)—The Bridesmen and Maids wait for you, Figaro.
