_Abbé._ Pardie! Den I must go back. I shall now go play a game at
Trick-Track with my friend Monsieur d'Eschallot, and den I look over my
little Memorandum. To-morrow Morning, I take my Party to go back to
Paris. I assure you Monsieur de Broughton, you have now give me ver
pretty Memorandum--and so Messieurs and Mesdames, à l'honneur. I shall
represent your liberalité--and love Shakespeare more than ever.
(_Exit singing_)
_Quicksett._ Wounds! Sir Robert, what a pity it had been, this young
fellow shou'd be lost, and I believe I shall rejoice in him for a
son-in-Law.
_Jack._ I hope it will prove so, and now since we are happy together let
mirth conclude the Evening, and let us my dear Wildfire celebrate our
Reformation with an English Country Dance.
_Wildfire._ With all my Heart, and in good time; here come some other
visitors that will joyn us.
_Jack._
The wide Extremes of modern Life, you've seen,
The home-bred, Blood, the travel'd Coxcomb's mien,
But let not riot, Virtue's place supply,
Nor Gallic affectation mock the Eye.
So shall all politeness grow from Sense alone,
And the fair smile with Beauties all their own.
