SCENE II.
[The Fiddlers play in the tiring-room; and the stage curtains are drawn, and discover a chamber, as it were, with two beds, and the ladies asleep in them, Master Wild being at Mistress Pleasant's bedside, and Master Careless at the Widow's. The music awakes the Widow.
Wid. Niece, niece, niece Pleasant.
[She opens the curtain and calls her: she is under a canopy.
Plea. Ha! I hear you, I hear you; what would you have?
Wid. Do you not hear the fiddlers?
Plea. Yes, yes; but you have waked me from the finest dream——
Wid. A dream! what was't, some knavery!
Plea. Why, I know not, but 'twas merry; e'en as pleasing as some sins. Well, I'll lie no more in a man's bed, for fear I lose more than I get.
Wid. Hark! that's a new tune.
