_Ver._ You trouble me, indeed, most sensibly, when you command me anything I cannot do. I have lately lost a great deal of money at play, more than I can yet pay; so that not only my money, but my credit too is gone, and know not where to borrow: but could rob a church for you.--[_Aside._] Yet would rather end your wants by cutting your throat. _Man._ Nay, then I doubly feel my poverty, since I'm incapable of supplying thee. [_Embraces him._ _Ver._ But, methinks, she that granted you the last favour, (as they call it,) should not deny you anything. _Nov._ [_Looking in._] Hey, tarpaulin, have you done? [_Retires again._ _Ver._ I understand not that point of kindness, I confess. _Man._ No, thou dost not understand it, and I have not time to let you know all now; for these fools, you see, will interrupt us: but anon, at supper, we'll laugh at leisure together at Olivia's cuckold, who took a young fellow, that goes between his wife and me, for a woman. _Ver._ Ha! _Man._ Senseless, easy rascal! 'twas no wonder she chose him for a husband; but she thought him, I thank her, fitter than me, for that blind bearing office. _Ver._ I could not be deceived in that long woman's hair tied up behind, nor those infallible proofs, her pouting swelling breasts: I have handled too many sure not to know 'em. [_Aside._ _Man._ What, you wonder the fellow could be such a blind coxcomb? _Ver._ Yes, yes-- _Nov._ [_Looking in again._] Nay, prithee, come to us, Manly. Gad, all the fine things one says in their company, are lost without thee. _Man._ Away, fop! I'm busy yet. [NOVEL _retires._] You see we cannot talk here at our ease: besides, I must be gone immediately, in order to meeting with Olivia again to-night. _Ver._ To-night! it cannot be, sure-- _Man._ I had an appointment just now from her. _Ver._ For what time? _Man._ At half an hour after seven precisely. _Ver._ Don't you apprehend the husband? _Man._ He! snivelling gull! he a thing to be feared! a husband! the tamest of creatures! _Ver._ Very fine! [_Aside._ _Man._ But, prithee, in the mean time, go try to get me some money. Though thou art too modest to borrow for thyself, thou canst do anything for me, I know. Go; for I must be gone to Olivia. Go, and meet me here, anon.--Freeman, where are you? [_Exit._
