SCENE V. Mitylene. A Street before the Brothel. Enter, from the Brothel, Two Gentlemen.

1 Gent.

Did you ever hear the like?

-- 172 --

2 Gent.

No, nor never shall do in such a place as this, she being once gone.

1 Gent.

But to have divinity preached there! did you ever dream of such a thing?

No, no. Come, I am for no more bawdy-houses: Shall we go hear the vestals sing?

1 Gent.

I'll do any thing now that is virtuous; but I am out of the road of rutting, for ever.

[Exeunt.
