Jolly. And as we go, I'll tell you all the story, and after dinner be free from all engagements, as we promised thee; and, follow but our[221] directions, I'll warrant you mirth and a pretty wench.
Omnes. Agreed; anything that breeds mirth is welcome.
Jolly. Not a word at the widow's: let them go on quietly, and steal their wedding too.
Capt. I heard a bird sing, as if it were concluded amongst the couples.
Wild. They have been long about: my coz is a girl deserves more haste to her bed. He has arrived there by carrier's journeys.
Care. But that I hate wooing, by this good day, I like your aunt so well and her humour, she should scarce be thrown away upon pale-face, that has sighed her into a wedding-ring, and will but double her jointure.
Capt. Why, ay, thus it should be. Pray let us make them the seat of the war all dinner, and continue united and true among ourselves; then we may defy all foreign danger.
Jolly. And with full bowls let us crown this peace, and sing,
Wit without war no mirth doth bring.
[Exeunt.
