taken notice of at Court! Methinks you shou'd be sent Ambassadour
Extraordinary to some magnanimous Prince in _Terra Incognita_; for I'm
certain, you must understand more Languages than were ever heard of.

_Bram._ Int'rest, Madam, as much depresses true Merit, as a flutt'ring
Assurance over pow'rs real Beauty, otherwise my Intellects might shine as
much above modern Statesmen as your Ladyship's Person wou'd out sparkle
Lady _Rodomont_'s.

L. _Toss._ D'you really think, Major, my Personage more complete than my
Lady's?

_Bram._ Madam, there's no more comparison between Lady _Rodomont_ and your
Ladyship, than between a dazling Dutchess and a _Wapping_ Head-dresser: If
the surprizing Sight, and continual Idea of your Ladyship had not
discompos'd my Thoughts and confounded my Politicks, the Confederates had
never taken _Lisle_.

L. _Toss._ Indeed, Major, I'm very sorry for it truly [_aside_]. D'you
hear, _Flimsy_, you will have me lay it on so thick; but I hope 'twill be
retaken agen.

_Bram._ Is your Ladyship disaffected, then, to the Government?

L. _Toss._ The most of any body, for I have been three times at Court, and
they have brought me no Chocolate.

_Bram._ 'Twas a prodigious Affront; and if you'll believe me, Madam, I'm
disaffected to ev'ry kind o'thing but your Ladyship.
