AR. I mean to trust to the faithfulness of my wife, and intend always to live as I have lived. SGAN. How pleased I shall be to see him victimized! AR. I cannot say what fate has in store for me; but as for you, I know that if you fail to be so, it is no fault of yours, for you are doing everything to bring it about. SGAN. Laugh on, giggler! Oh, what a joke it is to see a railer of nearly sixty! LEO. I promise to preserve him against the fate you speak of, if he is to receive my vows at the altar. He may rest secure; but I can tell you I would pass my word for nothing if I were your wife. LIS. We have a conscience for those who rely on us; but it is delightful, really, to cheat such folks as you. SGAN. Hush, you cursed ill-bred tongue! AR. Brother, you drew these silly words on yourself. Good bye. Alter your temper, and be warned that to shut up a wife is a bad plan. Your servant. SGAN. I am not yours. |
