THE INTRODUCTION, Spoken by Mr. Hains, and Mrs. Mackarel.

Mr. Hains Enters alone.
You are of late become so mutinous,
Y'ave forc'd a reverend Bard to quit our House.
Since y'are so soon misled to ruin us,
I'le call a Spirit forth that shall declare,
What all your tricks and secret Virtues are.
What? ho Ariel! Enter Betty Mackarel.
Here's Betty—Now rail if you dare:
Speak to 'em Betty—ha! asham'd, alass poor Girl,
Whisper me!—Oh I'le tell 'em—Gentlemen! she says,
Y'are grown so wild she could not stay among ye,
And yet her tender heart is loath to wrong ye.
Spare 'em not,
Whom kindness cannot stir, but stripes may move.

Bet.
O Mr. Hains! I've often felt their Love.

Ha.
Poh, felt a Pudding that has taken vent,
Their love cools faster, and as soon is spent.
Think of thy high calling Betty, now th'art here,
They gaze and wish, but cannot reach thy Sphere,
Though ev'ry one could squeeze thy Orange there.

Bet.
Why this to me, Mr. Haines (d'ee conceive me) why to me?

Ha.
Ay, why this to Betty?

O Virtue, Virtue! vainly art thou sought,
If such as Betty must be counted naught:
Examine your Consciences Gentlemen!
When urg'd with heat of love, and hotter Wine,
How have you begg'd, to gain your lewd design:
Betty, dear, dear, dear Betty,
I'le spend five Guinnyes on thee, if thou'lst go:
And then they shake their (d'ee concieve me) Betty is't not
so, their yellow Boyes.

Bet.
Fie Mr. Hains, y'are very rude (d'ee concieve me.)

Ha.
Then speak yourself.

Bet.
Gentlemen! you know what I know.
If y'are severe, all shall out by this light:
But if you will be kind, I'le still be right

Ha
So that's well.—make thy Cursy Betty.
Now go in Child, I have something to say to these Gentlemen in private. [Exit Betty.

PROLOGUE. Spoken by Mr. Hains.
Since Heroes Ghosts, and Gods have felt your spight:
Your She Familiars, and your dear delight;
The Devils shall try their power, w'ee to night:
Some do believe that Devils ne'r have been,
Because they think, none can be worse then them:
But Female Sprights by all are felt and seen.
  You see our Study is to please you all:
Lets not by stiff Tom Thimbles faction fall;
Whose censures are meer ign'rance in disguise,
The noyse of envious fools, that would seem wise.
If Bacons Brazen-head cry—that won't pass,
Strayt all the little Fops are turn'd to brass,
And Eccho to the braying of that Ass:
Although we take their shapes and sensless sounds,
Lets not be worryd by our own dull Hounds:
Let not their noyse that got your Money there,
Deprave your Judgments, and your pleasure here.
  Ye men of Sense and Wit, resume your Raign.
Th'are honour'd who by noble Foes are slain;
Such comforts wounded Lovers have who swear,
When their tormenting pains are most severe,
Dam'ee!
It does not vex me to be Clapp'd by her:
Gad she was handsome, though the sport is dear.
But who in your sight at their mercy lyes,
Much like an Eastern Malefactor dyes,
Expos'd i'th' Sun to be devour'd by flyes.
  Let Language, Wit and Plot, this Night be safe,
  For all our business is to make you laugh.
