_Enter another_ Footman. Nor you you Sot, you'll loiter at ev'ry Ale-house you come to. Send in the _Yorkshire_ Footman that's never out o'breath;---- _Enter a Third_. This Fellow's an intollerable Fool too; d'you hear Changling, go to _Young Man's_ Coffee-house, enquire for _Collonel Blenheim_; if he's not there, run to the _Smyrna, White's, Tom's, Will's, Offendo's_, and the _Gaunt_; tell him I desire to speak with him presently; search the _Park_, the _Play house_, and all the Taverns and Gaming-houses you can think on; for, positively, if you don't find him, I'll immediately turn you off. _Re-enter Mrs._ Lovejoy. Mrs. _Lov_. I hope, Madam, your Ladiship's not displeas'd with me; 'tis my int'rest to oblige in ev'ry thing, where daily I receive such numerous Favours. [_Aside_]. She has the Money, and I must submit, tho' 'tis well known, I'm of a much better Family. L. _Rod_. Excuse me, dear Cozen, and don't imagine the most finish'd Cavalier cou'd shake my firm Resolves; but when a Fellow's arrogance shall dare to proffer his unwelcome worthless Love, then villainously act the same Part elsewhere; Honour won't let me tamely acquiesce. Mrs. _Lov._ Madam, Mr. _Nicknack_ desires the favour of kissing your Hands. |
