Wan. As I live, if I had thought you would have been in such a fury, you should never have known it.
Capt. Treacherous rogue! he has always railed against thee to me, as a danger his friendship ought to give me warning of, and nightly cried, Yet look back, and hunt not, with good-nature and the beauties of thy youth, that false woman; but hear thy friend, that speaks from sad experience.
Wan. Did he say this?
Capt. Yes, and swears ye are as unsatiate as the sea, as covetous, and as ungrateful: that you have your tempests too, and calms more dangerous than it.
Wan. Was the slave so eloquent in his malice?
Capt. Yes, faith, and urged you (for your part) were never particular, and seldom sound.
Wan. Not sound! why, he offered to marry me, and swore he thought I was chaste, I was so particular; and proved it, that consent was full marriage by the first institution, and those that love and lie together, and tell, have fulfilled all ceremonies now.
Capt. Did he offer to marry thee?
Wan. Yes, yes.
Capt. If ever then I deserved from thee, or if thou be'st dear to thyself, as thou hast anything thou hop'st shall be safe or sound about thee, I conjure thee, take my counsel: marry him, to afflict him.
