Enter Nurse and Child as he is going out.

Ha! and here they come: pox on't, what luck have
I after saying my prayers? it shall be a
Fair warning to me; now am I started
Again, and must go run t'other course. [Offers to run away.

1st Nurse. 'Squire Philidor, 'Squire Philidor!

[She runs after him.

Phil. How deaf
Am I now! 'tis well I know this by-way
To avoid her.

Enter Second Nurse and meets him.

Ha! S'death, another?
The devil appearing here too?

2d Nurse. O my proper
Young 'squire, stay, stay, d'ye hear, sir?

Phil. No, indeed, won't I. Yet I know one way
More to avoid them.

Enter Third Nurse.
