_Bev._ Why, we'll be rich in love then--But this excess of kindness melts me. Yet for a friend one would do much. He has denied Me nothing. _Mrs. Bev._ Come to my closet--But let him manage wisely. We have no more to give him. _Bev._ Where learnt my love this excellence? 'Tis heaven's own teaching; that heaven, which to an angel's form, has given a mind more lovely. I am unworthy of you, but will deserve you better. Henceforth my follies and neglects shall cease, And all to come be penitence and peace; Vice shall no more attract me with her charms, Nor pleasure reach me, but in these dear arms. [_Exeunt._ ACT III. SCENE I. _STUKELY'S lodgings_. _Enter STUKELY, and BATES._ |
