SCENE VII. Julio, Hillario.

HILLARIO.

An Introduction to playing the Fool all one's Lifetime, is very pretty Business truly—But how stand Affairs with you Sir? When saw you your Lover last?

JULIO.

I parted from him this Moment: Pr'ythee, Hillario, what dost think of him? may I venture to believe he loves me?

HILLARIO.

Hum—I believe he may a little for the present—I won't answer for him some two Months hence, if you shou'd chance to marry within these six Weeks.

JULIO.

Why, as you say, Marriage does alter People strangely, sometimes; but I must confess, I believe Vincentio will be constant I'm sure, 'twou'd break my Heart to find him otherwise.

HILLARIO.

Why how unreasonable that is now; wou'd you have a Man feed upon one Dish for-ever?

-- 95 --

JULIO.

Why not? if it be wholesome, and proper Food.

HILLARIO.

Now I'm of another Opinion, let him rove a little, and when he has surfeited himself abroad, he'll begin to like his Home Fare the better.

JULIO.

Well, you may say what you will, but I'm persuaded Vincentio will be constant.

HILLARIO.

Yes, as a Child to one Plaything, be pleas'd with you for a Day, and then good bye t'ye Madam Wife.

JULIO.

If one were to mind you, one shou'd never marry.

HILLARIO.

Why Faith, I'm for advising all my Friends for the best; but I see you're past Counsel, therefore speed you together I say,—Soft a while, who comes here?
