My lodgings are in St Lucknor's Lane, at the Cat
and Fiddle.
_Const_. Whereabouts is that lane, servant?
_Lov_. Faith, madam, I know not that part o'the town.--Lord, how
I sweat for fear! [_Aside_.
_Const_. And yours, madam, where, I beseech your ladyship?
_2 Whore_. In Dog and Bitch yard, an't please your ladyship.
_3 Whore_. And mine in Sodom, so like your ladyship.
_Const_. How, Loveby! I did not think you would have used me
thus?
_Lov_. I beseech your ladyship, but hear my justification as I
lead you.
_Const_. By no means, sir; that were such a rudeness to leave
persons of quality, to wait upon me: Unhand me, sir.
_Isa_. Ha, ha, ha!--[_Exeunt_ CONST. ISA.
_Lov_. I am ruined! for ever ruined. Plague, had you no places in
the town to name, but Sodom, and Lucknor's Lane, for lodgings!
_L. Du Lake_. If any prejudice arise from it, upon my honour,
son, 'twas by mistake, and not intended you: I thought she desired to
have been admitted of the quality.
_Lov_. I was curst, when I had first to do with you.
[_Kicks them_.
_L. Du Lake_. Well, I thank heaven, that has indued me with such
patience.
[_Exeunt all but_ LOVEBY _and his Boy_.
_Lov_. I have made a fair hand on't to-day;--both lost my
mistress, and hear no news from my friend below: The world frowns upon
me, and the devil and my mistress have forsaken me: My godfathers and
godmothers have promised well for me: Instead of renouncing them, they
have renounced me.
