_Abi._ The Gods of the Winds befriend you Sir; a constant and a liberal Lover thou art, more such God send us. _Enter_ Welford. _Wel._ Let'em not stand still, we have rid. _Abi._ A suitor I know by his riding hard, I'le not be seen. _Wel._ A prettie Hall this, no Servant in't? I would look freshly. _Abi._ You have delivered your errand to me then: there's no danger in a hansome young fellow: I'le shew my self. _Wel._ Lady, may it please you to bestow upon a stranger the ordinary grace of salutation: Are you the Lady of this house? _Abi._ Sir, I am worthily proud to be a Servant of hers. _Wel._ Lady, I should be as proud to be a Servant of yours, did not my so late acquaintance make me despair. _Abi._ Sir, it is not so hard to atchieve, but nature may bring it about. _Wel._ For these comfortable words, I remain your glad Debtor. Is your Lady at home? _Abi._ She is no stragler Sir. |
