the

to

their

;
but
only
I
may
observe
,
that
when
are
carry'd
too
high
,
as
many
of
ours
are
,
they
may
probably
make
an

laugh
very

,
but
can
give
'em
but
small
Pleasure
;
whereas
others
will
give
'em

,
tho'
less
Laughter
.
I
am
afraid
I
have
dwelt
too
long
upon
this
Subject
,
therefore
I
pass
on
to
our
Author's
In
that
respect
,
he
had
not
often
that
had
,
nor
in
all
his
Plays
was
so
as
he
;
tho'
in
several
he
was
,
particularly
in
those
I
have
chosen
.
But
then
his
Scenes
were
commonly
less
languishing
,
his
more
surprizing
,
and
his
more
admirable
;
undoubtedly
he
had
more
of
the
which
I
may
translate
were
all
more
than
the
other's
,
but
I
am
apt
to
believe
,
that
will
be
reckon'd
but
a
very
small
Commendation
in
our
Nation
,
who
are
but
little
Lovers
of
such
thin
Dyet
,
as
they
call
it
.
His
are
more
lively
and
sharp
than
those
of
s
,
and
,
I
think
,
every
whit
as
natural
and
as
well
brought
in
:
I
'm
sure
in
some
of
'em
he
can
never
be
out-done
as
to
his
way
of
bringing
of
'em
in
.
As
for
the
General
Rules
of
the
Stage
,
I
refer
the
Reader
to
the
Preface
to
Our
Author
's
principal
Fault
was
,
his
mixing
the
with
the
in
many
places
,
where
he
often
makes
his
Actors
speak●…
immediately
and
directly
to
the
Spectators
;
a
Fault
that
was
not
wholly
free
from
.
This
our
modern
Plays
,
I
think
,
are
never
guilty
of
;
only
in
our
our
Actors
have
got
a
custom
of
looking
so
full
upon
the
Spectators
,
that
it
seems
but
one
degree
better
.
But
our
Author
is
not
guilty
of
this
in
these
three
Plays
,
except
in
and
that
by
way
of
nor
of
any
other
Faults
but
what
,
I
believe
,
I
have
shewn
in
my
And
these
that
I
have
here
chosen
,
are
no
ways
inferior
to
s
in
matters
of
but
in
some
respects
superior
,
tho'
not
so
elaborately
wrought
up
,
or
always
with
that
Niceness
;
so
that
these
may
undoubtedly
prove
excellent
Models
for
our
Poets
Imitation
,
provided
they
observe
Differences
of
Tastes
,
Humours
,
Ages
,
and
Persons
,
and
keep
to
those
principal
Beauties
they
already
possess
,
some
of
which
are
undoubtedly
above
the
Ancients
.
Only
will
teach
'em
one
thing
that
does
not

,
the

none
of

.
As
for
the
Necessity
of
Rules
,
the
Objections
against
'em
,
and
the
wonderful
Perfection
our
Plays
might
arrive
to
by
a
more
close
Observance
of
'em
,
I
must
once
more
refer
my
Reader
to
the
Preface
to
It
was
principally
upon
the
Poets
Account
,
and
for
all
such
as
are
desirous
of
understanding
and
judging
the
Excellencies
of
Dramatick
Poetry
,
that
I
translated
these
Plays
.
If
it
be
objected
,
that
the
Poets
,
Criticks
,
and
Lovers
,
as
well
as
Iudges
of
Dramatick
Poetry
,
do
most
of
'em
understand
the
Original
;
I
must
deny
the
Truth
of
it
,
tho'
several
of
'em
do
:
But
if
they
did
,
these
will
be
much
more
proper
for
their
Design
,
especially
by
means
of
the
and
the
Reasons
I
urg'd
for
the
translation
of
bear
a
greater
force
in
this
Author
,
for
here
is
a
greater
Obscurity
,
by
reason
of
corrupted
Copies
,
wrong
Points
,
false
Divisions
of
whole
as
well
as
besides
a
greater
number
of
knotty
and
obscure
Passages
,
than
in
Tho'
this
was
my
principal
,
it
was
not
my
only
Design
of
translating
this
Author
,
for
I
had
all
the
way
an
Eye
to
School
boys
,
and
Learners
of
the
Tongue
:
Therefore
,
upon
that
account
,
I
have
not
only
kept
perfectly
close
to
his
Sence
,
but
almost
always
to
his
Words
too
;
a
thing
not
only
extream
difficult
in
an
Author
so
frequently
verbose
,
but
oftentimes
dangerous
too
:
And
for
an
Instance
,
I
need
not
go
any
further
than
the
very
first
Sentence
of
the
which
if
I
had
made
shorter
,
I
cou'd
have
made
better
.
I
can't
forbear
mentioning
a
Passage
in
the
third
Act
of
the
same
Play
,
which
just
now
comes
to
my
remembrance
:
Which
I
have
translated
,
perhaps
,
too
closely
thus
I
'm
confident
many
other
Translators
wou'd
not
have
been
so
scrupulously
nice
,
but
have
made
shorter
work
of
it
.
But
I
have
not
only
been
so
scrupulous
in
this
Case
,
but
I
have
likewise
imitated
all
his
Faults
and
Imperfections
,
whenever
I
cou'd
do
it
without
extream
Injury
to
the
Translation
;
I
speak
of
his
and
his
several
ways
of
playing
upon
words
;
which
indeed
were
the
Faults
of
his
Age
,
as
it
was
of
ours
in
s
and
s
days
,
and
of
which
as
correct
as
he
is
,
is
not
perfectly
clear
.
Our
Author
's
playing
upon
words
are
of
that
various
nature
,
and
so
frequent
too
,
I
need
not
go
far
for
a
single
Instance
,
which
shall
be
in
the
fore
part
of
the
Prologue
to
Which
I
have
translated
thus
Our
Author's
Wit
did
many
times
consist
in
his
playing
upon
Words
;
a
great
pity
indeed
,
for
a
person
who
was
so
well
able
to
writ
after
a
more
substantial
way
,
of
which
we
have
many
remarkable
Instances
.
Besides
his
Quibbling
,
partly
from
his
Carelesness
and
Necessities
,
he
hath
sometimes
a
vein
of
which
was
but
very
indifferent
;
and
on
those
places
the
Reader
must
make
some
allowance
for
the
translation
,
and
not
expect
more
than
the
Matter
will
well
bear
.
As
for
our
Author's
for
what
we
know
of
'em
,
I
took
a
particular
care
in
preserving
their
Force
;
and
for
the
most
part
,
I
presume
,
I
have
done
it
in
a
great
measure
,
sometimes
by
a
lucky
hit
,
or
a
peculiar
happiness
of
our
Tongue
,
other
times
by
a
little
Liberty
taken
,
and
when
all
have
fail'd
,
the
have
generally
supply'd
the
Defect
,
a
way
I
was
forc'd
to
content
my self
withal
in
many
places
;
the
worse
they
were
,
they
were
frequently
more
difficult
to
preserve
,
therefore
I
thought
it
as
well
to
slur
over
some
few
of
the
meaner
sort
.
Several
of
his
and
bits
of
are
undoubtedly
lost
to
us
,
not
only
in
respect
of
our
Language
,
but
also
our
Knowledge
,
and
this
sometimes
makes
his
a
little
obscure
.
And
as
the
of
an
Author
ought
to
be
his
Translator's
chiefest
Care
,
so
it
has
been
mine
;
and
tho'
I
cannot
affirm
,
that
I
have
kept
to
it
in
every
passage
,
yet
I
believe
I
have
often
done
it
where
a
common
Reader
will
think
I
have
not
;
and
I
think
it
no
commendation
to
my self
to
say
I
have
hit
it
on
many
places
where
the
Common
Interpreters
have
missed
.
After
all
,
I
dare
not
pretend
to
say
,
that
this
Translation
equals
the
Original
,
for
there
is
such
a
peculiar
Air
in
this
Author
as
well
as
that
our
Tongue
seems
uncapable
of
,
or
at
least
it
does
so
to
me
.
Yet
still
if
't
were
always
read
with
the
Original
,
it
wou'd
make
far
more
for
me
than
otherwise
.
In
short
,
the
Reader
ought
to
look
upon
this
as
a
Translation
of
an
Author
who
had
several
Faults
,
and
such
places
,
as
the
must
of
necessity
appear
mean
,
being
little
better
in
the
Original
;
and
likewise
as
an
Author
of
Antiquity
,
some
of
whose
Customs
and
Manners
will
appear
a
little
uncouth
and
unsightly
,
in
spight
of
all
a
Translator's
Care
.
I
endeavour'd
to
be
as
like
my
Author
as
I
cou'd
,
especially
in
that
which
I
reckon
his
distinguishing
Character
,
to
wit
,
the
natural
and
unaffected
easiness
of
his
and
as
this
seems
the
most
capable
of
imitation
so
I
believe
I
have
been
more
successful
in
this
Particular
than
in
any
other
:
and
that
is
the
main
Reason
I
have
had
so
many
Abbreviations
,
to
make
it
appear
still
more
like
common
Discourse
,
and
the
usual
way
of
speaking
.
Perhaps
I
may
be
thought
to
have
been
too
bold
in
that
point
,
because
I
have
had
some
that
are
not
usual
in
Prose
;
therefore
I
don't
set
this
way
as
a
Copy
for
any
one
to
follow
me
in
,
nor
shall
I
use
it
myself
in
any
other
Piece
.
I
have
all
the
way
divided
the
according
to
the
true
Rules
of
the
Stage
,
which
are
extreamly
false
in
all
the
Editions
of
this
Author
,
especially
the
To
make
this
Translation
the
most
useful
that
I
cou'd
,
I
have
made
upon
each
Play
,
and
those
are
of
two
sorts
,
tho'
equally
intermix'd
:
The
first
,
to
shew
the
Author
's
chief
Excellencies
as
to
his
Contrivance
and
Management
of
his
the
second
,
to
discover
several
Beauties
of
principally
such
as
are
not
very
clear
,
or
cannot
well
be
preserv'd
in
our
Tongue
;
and
those
are
likewise
to
vindicate
my
Translation
.
Several
of
these
I
must
own
my self
oblig'd
to
Madam
for
,
or
at
least
the
hint
,
tho'
some
of
'em
I
cou'd
not
have
miss'd
of
in
the
prosecution
of
those
Designs
I
aim'd
at
.
I
have
borrow'd
little
or
nothing
from
any
other
,
for
her
's
are
far
the
best
I
ever
met
with
,
tho'
many
of
'em
were
done
more
to
shew
her
Parts
and
Reading
than
for
any
real
use
,
a
thing
which
I
shall
never
aim
at
.
I
have
been
forc'd
in
most
of
'em
to
be
extream
nice
and
curious
in
penetrating
into
the
bottom
of
the
Author
,
for
I
find
it
far
more
difficult
to
discover
a
Beauty
than
a
Fault
.
I
might
have
enlarg'd
upon
'em
,
and
have
made
several
more
,
with
good
grounds
,
but
I
thought
it
dangerous
to
say
all
that
cou'd
be
said
;
but
instead
of
that
I
was
forc'd
,
much
against
my
will
,
to
dash
out
several
of
those
upon
upon
the
account
of
the
Printer
,
but
the
rest
are
more
full
and
compleat
.
If
business
wou'd
have
permitted
me
,
I
shou'd
have
ventur'd
upon
three
more
of
our
Author's
Plays
;
and
upon
that
Account
,
I
have
taken
somewhat
less
time
than
was
necessary
for
the
translating
such
an
extraordinary
difficult
Author
;
for
this
requires
more
than
double
the
time
of
a
or
the
like
,
which
was
as
much
as
I
cou'd
allow
my self
.
I
made
choice
of
these
three
Plays
as
well
for
their
for
above
all
things
I
wou'd
by
no
means
give
the
least
Encouragement
to
Lewdness
or
Obscenity
,
which
grow
too
fast
of
themselves
;
and
therefore
I
thought
I
cou'd
not
chuse
better
than
after
a
Lady
.
had
the
Name
,
and
never
fail'd
of
a
general
Approbation
was
our
Author's
Favourite
,
and
truly
there
is
much
Art
in
it
,
tho'
it
is
a
little
heavy
;
and
is
in
several
respects
a
better
Play
than
any
of
s
or
s.
I
'm
afraid
will
bear
the
worse
in
our
Tongue
,
upon
the
Account
of
Mr.
s
,
whose
Improvements
are
very
extraordinary
;
but
considering
Mr.
s
Management
is
of
such
a
different
Nature
,
this
will
still
be
as
useful
and
as
proper
for
my
or
at
least
to
School
boys
and
Learners
.
I
must
do
that
great
Man
the
Iustice
in
saying
,
that
he
has
not
only
much
improved
the
in
many
places
,
but
likewise
the
I
'll
mention
one
,
which
just
now
comes
into
my
mind
.
in
the
Second
Act
complains
thus
:
by
the
help
of
Blank
Verse
,
and
a
little
more
room
,
has
better'd
it
extreamly
.
And
to
carry
it
on
further
yet
,
and
to
make
it
appear
more
fine
and
clear
,
he
says
,
I
mention
this
the
rather
,
because
it
may
serve
for
one
Instance
of
what
Improvements
our
Modern
Poets
have
made
on
the
Ancients
,
when
they
built
upon
their
Foundations
.
For
we
find
that
many
of
the
fine
things
of
the
Ancients
are
like
Seeds
,
that
,
when
planted
on
Ground
by
a
Skilful
Poet's
Hand
,
thrive
,
and
produce
excellent
Fruit.
But
I
'm
afraid
this
has
been
too
long
and
tedious
for
this
small
Piece
;
but
the
Press
stays
,
and
the
hast
I
'm
in
will
not
permit
me
to
make
it
shorter
,
or
so
much
as
review
it
;
yet
before
I
conclude
,
I
must
inform
the
Reader
,
that
I
had
the
Advantage
of
another's
doing
their
Plays
before
me
;
from
whose
Translation
I
had
very
considerable
Helps

AS
y'
ever
hope
for
my
Godships
Assistance
i'
your
Merchandise

Buyings

Sellings
,
and
all
other
Things

that
I

well
and
largely
augment
your
daily
Profits
for
the
present
and

that
I
ever
bring
ye
good
News
for
you
and
your
Families
,
and
be
the
Messenger
o'
nothing
but
th'
extraordinary
Advantage
o'
the
Publick
,
(
for
y'
all
know
how
th'
other
Gods
ha'
giv'n
and
granted
me
the
Preference
as
to
and
lastly
,
that
I
confirm
all
with
a
perpetual
Supply
o'
Riches
;
I
require
of
ye
a
favourable
Attention
,
and
a
just
and
impartial
Censure
〈◊〉
our
I
shall
let
ye
know
whose
Orders
,
and
what
Bus'ness
brought
my
Worship
hither
,
as
also
the
Title
I
bear
.
By
s
Orders
I
came
s
my
Title
,
sent
hither
by
my
Father
to
beg
your
Attention
:
Tho'
he
knows
he
might
use
his
absolute
Power
,
and
is
sensible
o'
the
due
Fear
and
Reverence
y'
ha'
for
him
;
yet
still
he
commands
me
t'
use
nothing
but
gentle
Expressions
,
and
obliging
Entreaties
.
For
,
the
truth
o●…'t
is
,
this
whose
Messenger
I
am
,
is
as
fearful
a
Fellow
as
some
o'
you
;
and
no
wonder
if
he
be
so
,
since
his
Father
and
Mother
were
both
Mortals
.
Now
I
,
his
own
Son
,
am
a
little
infected
wi'
my
Fathers
Cowardice
;
therefore
I
'm
come
in
a
very
civil
way
t'
offer
ye
Peace
.
I
desire
nothing
but
what
's
reasonable
and
feasible
,
for
't
is
a
reasonable
God
requires
Reason
from
a
reasonable
People
;
but
to
require
Roguery
from
reasonable
People
,
is
base
;
and
t'
expect
Reason
from
Rascals
,
is
Nonsense
;
since
such
People
neither
know
Reason
,
nor
observe
it
.
—
Pray
,
listen
to
what
Im
to
tell
ye
.
Your
Wishes
certainly
ought
to
go
along
with
ours
;
for
,
my
Father
and
I
were
always
Favourers
o'
you
,
and
your
Republick
.
How
often
,
in
other
Tragedies
,
have
I
seen
the
Gods
,
bragging
o'
those
Favours
t'
ye
,
which
my
Father
,
the
King
of
Heaven
,
has
been
the
prime
Founder
of
?
But
't
isn't
my
Fathers
way
,
to
hit
grateful
People
i'
the
Teeth
with
old
Kindnesses
,
but
thinks
all
his
Favours
deservedly
bestowed
.
I
shall
first
propose
my
Demands
,
then
tell
ye
th'
Argument
o'
this
Why
that
Frown
now
?
—
Is
't
because
I
call
it
a
Why
I
'm
a
God
;
I
'll
transform
it
,
if
ye
please
,
out
o'
and
ne'er
alter
a
Verse
.
Are
ye
willing
or
not
?
But
what
a
blockheadly
Question
was
that
for
a
Deity
to
ask
,
as
tho'
he
cou'd
be
ignorant
o'
your
Pleasures
?
I
know
your
Minds
to
a
Tittle
;
and
I
'll
make
it
a
Hodge
podge
,
a
for
there
's
no
Reason
t'ha't
all
when
Kings
and
Gods
are
Actors
in
't
.
But
how
shall
we
do
,
now
a
Slave
has
the
principal
Part
?
Why
,
as
I
told
ye
before
,
't
shall
be
a
intreats
ye
by
me
,
t'
order
the
Guards
t'
inspect
and
if
they
find
any
suborn'd
to
clap
an
to
take
his
Cloak
for
a
Pawn
.
But
to
those
who
shall
make
Parties
to
gain
the
Prize
,
either
by
Cunning
,
Letters
,
Messengers
,
or
Themselves
,
or
corrupt
th'
to
break
their
Oaths
orders
a
Punishment
equal
to
ones
buying
o'
Votes
i'
the
Government
for
himself
or
others
.
He
says
,
't
is
Merits
make
Conquerors
,
not
Ambition
and
Treachery
;
and
why
shou'dn't
the
Laws
be
as
strict
as
the
Magistrates
?
Merit
's
the
best
Mark
for
Ambition
,
not
Favours
;
but
he
who
does
well
,
can
want
none
,
while
he
meets
with
impartial
Iudges
.
My
Father
likewise
commands
me
to
have
over
th'
that
if
any
one
has
his
Emissaries
to
Clap
,
or
by
his
malicious
Bungling
hinders
anothers
Applause
,
he
shall
have
his
fine
Cloths
stripp'd
o'er
his
Ears
,
and
soundly
lash'd
,
I
wou'dn't
ha'
ye
wonder
now
at
s
troubling
his
Head
about
the
nay
don't
,
good
now
!
for
he
is
to
make
one
himself
i'
this
Why
make
ye
such
a
Wonderment
?
As
tho'
ye
never
heard
of
s
turning
A
Year
ago
,
when
the
invok'd
him
in
a
pitiful
he
came
to
their
Assistance
;
and
certainly
he
will
in
a
I
tell
y'
agen
,
that
himself
is
to
play
his
Part
,
and
my
Godship
with
him
:
Therefore
,
pray
listen
well
to
th'
Argument
o'
this
First
,
This
City
here
is
call'd
that
House
s
,
an
by
Parents
and
Country
,
and
marry'd
t'
s
Daughter
.
He
's
now
General
o'
the
Army
against
the
but
before
he
went
to
the
Campaign
,
he
got
his
Wife
wi'
Child
.
(
I
'm
sure
y'
all
know
my
Fathers
Good
Nature
,
his
large
Allowance
upo'
these
Occasions
,
and
how
much
he
makes
of
a
Sweet
Bit.
)
It
seems
,
his
Mouth
watering
at
unknown
to
her
Husband
,
he
borrows
her
upon
Interest
,
fairly
enjoys
her
,
and
gets
her
wi'
Child
too
.
Now
,
that
ye
may
well
understand
the
Mystery
,
she
's
now
wi'
Child
by
my
Father
and
her
Husband
too
.
s
this
moment
at
Bed
with
her
,
and
for
that
Reason
,
this
Night
's
made
longer
than
ordinary
,
that
he
mightn't
be
stinted
of
his
Pleasure
;
and
he
has
cast
about
so
as
to
pass
for
ye
needn't
be
surpriz'd
at
the
sight
o'
my
fine
Garb
here
,
and
m'
appearing
under
the
Form
of
a
Slave
;
for
tho'
I
bring
y'
an
old
Story
,
the
Dress
is
new
,
and
so
shall
my
Dress
be
new
too
.
For
,
as
I
said
before
,
my
Father
's
now
within
Doors
;
there
behold
fairly
turn'd
into
All
the
Servants
wou'd
swear
't
is
their
Master
,
he
has
got
such
an
excellent
Knack
at
transforming
himself
.
For
my
part
,
I
ha'
got
my self
the
plain
Shape
o'
one
of
s
Attendants
at
the
Camp
,
the
better
to
carry
on
my
Fathers
Intreague
,
and
prevent
Servants
Enquiries
after
my
Person
,
when
they
see
me
so
frequently
up
and
down
the
House
:
But
now
they
take
me
a
Fellow-Servant
and
Comrade
o'
theirs
,
not
a
Soul
asks
me
who
I
am
,
or
from
whence
I
came
.
My
Father
,
this
minute
,
lies
melting
in
Ioys
,
embracing
his
lovely
Object
,
telling
her
pretty
Stories
of
what
pass'd
i'
the
Camp
,
how
bravely
he
put
th'
Enemy
to
the
Rout
,
and
what
large
Presents
were
made
him
;
she
,
poor
Lady
,
all
the
while
taking
the
Gallant
for
th'
Husband
.
The
Presents
t'
we
stole
;
and
,
ye
know
,
nothing
lies
out
o'
my
Fathers
Reach
.
This
Day
comes
home
from
his
Army
;
and
with
him
,
his
Servant
whose
Shape
I
wear
.
Now
,
to
distinguish
us
easily
,
I
ha'
little
Wings
upo'
my
Hat
,
and
my
Father
a
Golden
Tuft
upon
his
,
which
knows
nothing
of
.
You
know
these
Marks
,
but
not
one
of
the
Family
does
.
—
Ha
,
Ha
,
yonder
comes
s
Man
from
the
with
his
Candle
and
Lanthorn
.
I
shall
soon
send
his
Worship
packing
from
these
Quarters
.
He
's
a
coming
;
I
hear
him
.
—
You
'll
ha'
rare
Sport
,
to
see
play
their
Parts
At
our
first
happy
Arrival
at
th'
Enemies
Country
,
and
the
Disembarkment
of
our
Troops
,
my
Noble
Lord
immediately
chose
out
the
Flower
of
all
the
Nobility
,
as
Envoys
to
the
to
declare
his
Pretensions
according
to
my
Lord's
Orders
,
these
haughty
Men
,
proud
o'
their
own
Strength
and
Courage
,
very
roughly
treated
our
Envoys
,
telling
'em
,
o'
this
rude
Answer
my
Lord
advanc'd
towards
'em
with
his
whole
Army
.
The
did
the
like
with
their
Troops
from
the
Town
,
accouter'd
with
the
finest
Equipage
i'
the
World
.
After
th'
Approaches
of
these
two
numerous
Armies
,
each
Man
and
Officer
in
his
proper
Post
,
they
drew
up
their
Troops
in
Battalia
,
we
after
our
own
Way
,
and
the
Enemy
after
theirs
.
Next
,
the
two
Generals
advanc'd
to
the
Fronts
of
each
Army
,
and
there
parley'd
;
agreeing
to
this
Article
,
—
In
short
these
resolute
People
fled
for
't
;
We
took
fresh
Courage
,
pursu'd
,
and
cut
'em
all
in
pieces
.
My
Lord
fell
upo
'
their
King
,
and
cut
off
his
Head
with
his
own
Hands
.
This
Engagement
lasted
from
Morning
till
Evening
,
but
the
Night
put
an
End
to
this
bloody
Contest
.
Next
day
came
the
Magistrates
from
the
Town
,
all
in
Tears
,
submissively
acknowledging
their
Misdemeanours
,
promising
,
of
all
my
Noble
Lord
as
the
prize
of
his
undoubted
Valour
,
was
presented
wi'
the
great
Golden
Cup
that
us'd
to
drink
in

and

—
Mercury
,
Iove
Things
go
rarely
,
and
prosperously
on
our
side
.
I
've
remov'd
the
greatest
Obstacle
,
so
that
my
Father
may
securely
reap
the
Fruit
of
his
Cuckoldom
.
—
Now
when
this
Fellow
comes
to
tell
his
Master
,
he
'll
take
it
for
a
damn'd
Lye
,
and
believe
the
Rogue
was
ne're
there
,
as
he
order'd
him
.
Thus
shall
I
bring
them
two
,
and
the
whole
Family
,
into
nothing
but
Mistakes
and
Confusion
,
till
my
Father
have
had
his
Belly
full
of
his
Mistress
.
But
at
last
they
'll
come
to
a
right
Understanding
of
all
Things
,
and
will
bring
his
Mistress
into
as
great
Favour
with
her
Husband
as
ever
.
For
certainly
,
will
be
in
a
plaguy
fret
,
and
call
his
Wife
Whore
;
but
my
Father
will
reconcile
all
Differences
.
for
something
about
for
I
've
said
little
of
her
yet
.
This
Day
shall
she
be
brought
to
Bed
o'
two
Boys
,
one
o'
ten
Months
growth
,
th'
other
o'
seven
;
the
first
by
the
second
by
so
the
youngest
Child
will
ha'
the
Superiority
by
his
Father
,
and
th'
eldest
th'
Inferiority
by
his
.
D'
ye
comprehend
the
Mystery
?
—
However
my
Father
's
so
tender
of
he
'll
ha'
both
come
together
,
and
both
the
painful
Labours
at
one
Lying-in
;
and
likewise
to
prevent
all
Suspicions
of
Scandal
on
her
side
,
and
Cuckoldom
on
his
.
'T
is
true
,
as
I
said
before
,
will
know
all
.
But
granting
that
,
no
body
will
think
the
worse
of
for
't
;
for
't
is
beneath
a
Deity
to
suffer
a
poor
Mortal
to
bear
the
Blame
of
his
own
failings
.

of

Stage
.
On
one
side
,
appears
at
a
distance
;
on
the
other
,
s
House
,
and
a
Temple
of
with
a
Court
before
it
,
and
in
it
,
an
Altar
:
Besides
some
scatter'd
Houses
at
a
distance
.
About
Eight
or
Nine
Hours
,
beginning
at
Five
or
Six
a
Clock
in
the
Morning
.
YE
must
know
,
I
dwell
i'
the
Celestial
Palaces
above
,
a
Subject
o'
that
mighty
God
who
shakes
all
Nations
,
Seas
,
and
Earth
.
I
'm
a
bright
and
shining
Constellation
,
as
ye
see
me
,
by
Title
,
one
who
ne'r
fail'd
to
keep
regular
Hours
,
both
here
and
in
Heaven
.
In
the
Night-time
,
I
twinkle
i'
the
Sky
,
and
among
the
Gods
;
when
day
comes
,
I
converse
wi'
Mortals
,
as
the
rest
o'
the
Constellations
do
,
who
ha'
the
same
Commission
from
above
.
the
Grand
Monarch
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
every
day
disperses
us
through
all
Countries
,
t'inspect
th'
Actions
,
Manners
,
Religion
,
and
Fidelity
o'
Mortals
,
that
the
Goddess
o'
may
reward
'em
as
they
deserve
.
When
e'r
we
meet
wi'
Fellows
who
hire
Knights
o'
the
Post
in
Law-Sutes
,
and
Rascals
who
for
swear
themselves
in
Chancery
,
we
return
their
Names
in
writing
to
who
each
day
is
inform'd
of
all
whom
the
Gallows
groans
for
.
He
knows
each
Man
that
's
perjur'd
,
or
bribes
his
Iudge
to
gain
his
Cause
;
upo'
which
,
he
brings
it
about
i'
th'
upper
Court
,
and
sets
a
severer
Fine
upon
his
Head
than
the
loss
of
his
Cause
wou'd
ha'
come
to
.
The
Names
o'
the
good
Men
he
keeps
in
a
Book
by
it self
.
Now
these
Rogues
fool
themselves
with
a
fancy
that
a
lusty
Present
,
and
a
Sacrifice
,
will
make
amends
for
all
;
but
they
lose
their
Labour
and
Cost
too
:
For
accepts
not
the
Prayers
of
perjur'd
Villains
.
But
the
Prayers
of
an
honest
Man
's
heard
a
thousand
times
sooner
than
of
one
o'
these
Rascals
.
Therefore
,
good
Gentlemen
,
let
m'
advise
ye
,
you
who
are
honest
indeed
,
and
have
always
been
good
and
true-hearted
,
ne'r
to
recede
from
your
Principles
,
that
so
you
may
ha'
the
Comfort
of
'em
.
—
Now
,
I
'm
ready
to
wait
upon
ye
,
and
tell
ye
th'
Argument
o'
the
Play
.
First
then
calls
this
City
Here
dwells
in
the
Field
,
in
a
Neighbouring
Village
by
the
Sea-side
;
a
good
honest
well-meaning
old
Gentleman
,
forc'd
to
leave
and
take
up
here
.
'T
was
no
ill
Prank
that
drove
him
from
his
Country
;
but
his
Generosity
to
others
,
prov'd
so
injurious
to
himself
,
as
it
ruin'd
his
Estate
at
last
.
Sometime
since
,
he
had
a
little
Daughter
,
who
was
kidnapp'd
away
,
and
sold
to
a
Villanous
Slave-Merchant
,
who
brought
her
home
to
Now
it
seems
,
a
young
Gentleman
o'
this
City
,
and
formerly
of
by
chance
spies
this
Girl
coming
from
the
Musick-School
,
and
immediately
is
stricken
with
her
;
goes
strait
to
the
Merchant
,
bargains
with
him
to
have
her
for
threescore
and
fifteen
Pounds
,
gives
him
earnest
,
and
swears
him
to
Fidelity
.
Now
this
Son
of
a
Whore
,
like
the
rest
of
his
Gang
,
valuing
neither
Promise
nor
Oath
,
goes
immediately
to
a
Banker
of
his
,
a
an
old
Rascal
as
ill
as
himself
,
and
a
publick
Bane
to
the
City
.
This
Man
he
wheedles
with
the
huge
Commendations
o'
this
Girls
Beauty
,
and
others
he
had
with
him
,
so
gets
him
to
go
over
with
him
to
says
he
Upo'
which
,
a
Ship
is
prepar'd
underhand
;
the
Merchant
claps
all
his
Effect
on
board
,
and
flams
off
the
young
Gentleman
,
who
bought
this
Girl
,
with
a
pretence
he
was
going
to
perform
a
Vow
to
This
Temple
here
,
is
the
Place
;
where
he
has
invited
the
Spark
to
Dinner
.
He
immediately
gets
on
board
,
and
carries
off
Bag
and
Baggage
.
The
Gentleman
upon
hearing
o'
this
News
,
goes
strait
to
the
Haven
,
and
there
finds
the
Ship
got
clear
off
from
the
Shore
.
—
I
,
seeing
the
Girl
thus
forc'd
away
,
resolv'd
at
once
to
save
her
,
and
ruin
the
Rascal
.
Therefore
I
stirr'd
up
the
blustring
Winds
,
and
swell'd
th'
Oceans
Waves
:
For
is
the
most
turbulent
Constellation
i'
th'
Heavens
;
outragious
when
rising
,
but
more
outragious
sitting
.
—
At
present
,
both
Merchant
and
Guest
are
thrown
upon
a
Rock
,
which
split
their
Ship
in
pieces
.
This
Girl
I
told
y'
of
,
and
another
with
her
,
in
a
fright
,
are
leap'd
into
the
little
Boat
;
and
are
now
driven
by
the
Tide
,
from
the
Rock
towards
the
Shore
,
and
old
s
House
,
which
is
now
unroof'd
by
the
Wind
;
and
this
is
one
of
his
Servants
that
's
now
coming
out
his
House
.
The
young
Spark
will
be
here
strait
who
bought
this
Girl
o'
this
Merchant
