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

_Here, here.
Now, madam, fear not, you are safe.
_Jul_. What is become, sir, of those gentlemen?
_Gons_. Madam, they all went several ways; not like
To meet.
_Jul_. What will become of me?
_Gons_. Tis late,
And I a stranger in the town; yet all
Your dangers shall be mine.
_Jul_. You're noble, sir.
_Gons_. I'll pawn the hopes of all my love, to see
You safe.
_Jul_. Whoe'er your mistress be, she has
My curses, if she prove not kind.
_Ang_. And mine.
_Hip_. My sister will repent her, when she knows
For whom she makes that wish; but I'll say nothing,
Till day discovers it. [_Aside_.] A door opens;
I hope it is some inn.
[_A door opens, at which a Servant appears_.
_Ang_. Friend, can you lodge us here?
_Serv_. Yes, friend, we can.
_Jul_. How shall we be disposed?
_Serv_. As nature would;
The gentleman and you: I have a rule,
That, when a man and woman ask for lodging,
They are ever husband and wife.
_Jul_. Rude and unmannered!
_Gons_. Sir, this lady must be lodged apart.
_Serv_. Then the two boys, that are good for nothing
But one another, they shall go together.
_Ang_. Lie with a man! sweet heaven defend me!
_Hip_. Alas, friend, I ever lie alone.
_Serv_. Then to save trouble, sir, because 'tis late,
One of the youths shall be disposed with you.
