another before she went?

VAL. Understood! She is harder to be understood than a piece of
Egyptian antiquity or an Irish manuscript: you may pore till you
spoil your eyes and not improve your knowledge.

JERE. I have heard 'em say, sir, they read hard Hebrew books
backwards; maybe you begin to read at the wrong end.

VAL. They say so of a witch's prayer, and dreams and Dutch almanacs
are to be understood by contraries. But there's regularity and
method in that; she is a medal without a reverse or inscription, for
indifference has both sides alike. Yet, while she does not seem to
hate me, I will pursue her, and know her if it be possible, in spite
of the opinion of my satirical friend, Scandal, who says -


That women are like tricks by sleight of hand,
Which, to admire, we should not understand.



ACT V.--SCENE I.



A room in Foresight's house.

ANGELICA and JENNY.
