_Isa._ Well, my dear _Beatrice_, and are you positively bent on a
Nunnery still?
_Bea._ Hum! I suppose you will laugh at me, if I shou'd change my
Resolution; but I have seen so much of a Priest to-day, that I really
believe, I shall spend my Life in the Company of a Lay-man.
_Old Lar._ Why, that is bravely said, Madam, S'bud! I like you, and if I
had not resolv'd, for the Sake of this Rascal here, never to marry
again, S'bud! I might take you into my Arms: And I can tell you, they
are as warm as any young Fellow's in _Europe_--Come, Master _Jourdain_,
this Night, you and I will crack a Bottle together, and to-morrow
morning we will employ this honest Gentleman here, to tack our Son and
Daughter together, and then I don't care if I never see a Priest again
as long as I live.
_Isa._ [to _Yo. Lar._] Well, Sir. You see we have got the better of all
Difficulties at last. The Fears of a Lover are very unreasonable, when
he is once assured of the Sincerity of his Mistress,
For when a Woman sets her self about it,
Nor Priest, nor Devil can make her go without it.
_FINIS._
