LADY PLYANT. So well bred. CARE. So surprising. LADY PLYANT. So well dressed, so BONNE MINE, so eloquent, so unaffected, so easy, so free, so particular, so agreeable. SIR PAUL. Ay, so, so, there. CARE. O Lord, I beseech you madam, don't. LADY PLYANT. So gay, so graceful, so good teeth, so fine shape, so fine limbs, so fine linen, and I don't doubt but you have a very good skin, sir, CARE. For heaven's sake, madam, I'm quite out of countenance. SIR PAUL. And my lady's quite out of breath; or else you should hear--Gads-bud, you may talk of my Lady Froth. CARE. O fie, fie, not to be named of a day. My Lady Froth is very well in her accomplishments. But it is when my Lady Plyant is not thought of. If that can ever be. LADY PLYANT. O, you overcome me. That is so excessive. SIR PAUL. Nay, I swear and vow that was pretty. CARE. O, Sir Paul, you are the happiest man alive. Such a lady! |
