Julia. Talk of his title, and his fortune then. Clif. [Aside.] Indeed! I would not listen, yet I must! Julia. An ample fortune, Helen--I shall be A happy wife! What routs, what balls, what masques, What gala-days! Clif. [Aside.] For these she marries me! She'll talk of these! Julia. Think not, when I am wed, I'll keep the house as owlet does her tower, Alone,--when every other bird's on wing. I'll use my palfrey, Helen; and my coach; My barge, too, for excursion on the Thames: What drives to Barnet, Hackney, Islington! |
