Flo. Madam!

Fri. We were mad dames indeed, should we give freedom to such injurious favourites.

Car. This is stormy language; I ever thought our late neglect would nettle them.

[Aside.

Fri. You can affront us, sir, and with your wit
Take a deep draught of Lethe and forget!

Flo. Forget! 'Slid, I did ne'er affront you.

Fri. No?
Nor with a screw'd contemptuous look pass by us
When we were at our treat? and with a scorn
Not only slight us, but impeach our fame?

Flo. I call the heavens to witness, never I!

Fri. Perfidious wretch! this did I hear and see,
And such records cannot deluded be.
Your words, sir, are regist'red.

Flo. Pray, let's hear them.
