After their little Repast, _Friendly_ call’d the _Would-be-Monarch_ aside, and told him, that he would have him go to the Play that Night, which was _The London-Cuckolds_; promising to meet him there in less than half an Hour after his Departure: telling him withal, that he would surprize him with a much better Entertainment than the Stage afforded. _Majesty_ took the Hint, imagining, and that rightly, that the Knight had some Intrigue in his Head, for the Promotion of the Commonwealth of Cuckoldom: In order therefore to his Advice, he took his leave about a quarter of an Hour after. When he was gone, Sir _Philip_ thus bespoke his pretended Niece: Madam, I hope your Majesty will not refuse me the Honour of waiting on you to a Place where you will meet with better Entertainment than your Majesty can expect from the best Comedy in Christendom. _Val_, (continued he) you must go with us, to secure me against the Jealousy of my Wife. That, indeed (return’d his Lady) is very material; and you are mightily concern’d not to give me Occasion, I must own. You see I am now, (replied he:) But--come! on with Hoods and Scarf! (pursued he, to _Lucy_.) Then addressing himself again to his Lady; Madam, (said he) we’ll wait on you. In less Time than I could have drank a Bottle to my Share, the Coach was got ready, and on they drove to the Play-House. By the way, said _Friendly_ to _Val._--Your Honour, noble Peer, must be set down at _Long’s_; for only _Lucy_ and I must be seen to his Majesty of _Bantam_: And now, I doubt not, you understand what you must trust to.--To be robb’d of her Majesty’s Company, I warrant (return’d the other) for these long three Hours. Why (cry’d _Lucy_) you don’t mean, I hope, to leave me with his Majesty of _Bantam_? ’Tis for thy Good, Child! ’Tis for thy Good (return’d _Friendly_.) To the _Rose_ they got then; where _Goodland_ alighted, and expected Sir _Philip_; who led _Lucy_ into the King’s Box, to his new Majesty; where, after the first Scene, he left them together. The over-joy’d fantastick Monarch would fain have said some fine obliging Things to the Knight, as he was going out; but _Friendly’s_ Haste prevented ’em, who went directly to _Valentine_, took one Glass, call’d a Reckoning, mounted his Chariot, and away Home they came: where I believe he was welcome to his Lady; for I never heard any thing to the contrary.
