Par. That I have played the fool is visible. This comes of rashness. Something I must do to set this right, or else she'll hate, and he'll laugh at me. I must not lose him and my revenge too. Something that's mischief I am resolved to do.
[Exit Parson.
SCENE V.
Enter Wild and Careless.
Wild. Now is the parson's wife so contemptible?
Care. No; but I'm so full of that resolution to dislike the sex, that I will allow none honest, none handsome. I tell thee, we must beat down the price with ourselves; court none of them, but let their maidenheads and their faces lie upon their hands, till they're weary of the commodity: then they'll haunt us to find proper chapmen to deal for their ware.
Wild. I like this, but 'twill be long adoing, and it may be, ere they be forced to sell, our bank will be exhausted, and we shall not be able to purchase.
Care. Ay, but we'll keep a credit, and at three six months thou and the captain shall be my factors.
Wild. You had best have a partner, else such an undertaking would break a better back than yours.
Care. No partners in such commodities: your factor that takes up maidenheads, 'tis upon his own account still.
