"The works of John Dryden, $c now first collected in eighteen volumes. $p Volume 02"

[_Exit
BIBBER_.
_Lov_. No, my first visit shall be to my mistress, the Lady
Constance Nonsuch. She's discreet, and how the devil she comes to love
me, I know not; yet I am pretty confident she loves me. Well, no woman
can be wiser, than you-know-what will give her leave to be.
_Enter Lady CONSTANCE, and Madam ISABELLA_.
_Isa_. Look, look; is not that your servant Loveby?
_Lov_. Tis she; there's no being seen, 'till I am better habited.
[_Exit_ LOVEBY.
_Const_. Let him go, and take no notice of him: Poor rogue! he
little thinks I know his poverty.
_Isa_. And less, that you supply it by an unknown hand.
_Const_. Aye, and falsified my father's key to do it.
_Isa_. How can you answer this to your discretion?
_Const_. Who could see him want, she loves?
_Enter SETSTONE_.
_Isa_. O here's Mr Setstone come, your jeweller, madam.
_Const_. Welcome, Setstone; hast thou performed thy visit
happily, and without discovery?
_Set_. As you would wish it, madam: I went up to his chamber
without interruption; and there found him drowning his cares, and
pacifying his hunger, with sleep; which advantage I took, and;
undiscovered by him, left the gold divided in his pockets.
_Const_. Well, this money will furnish him, I hope, that we may
have his company again.
