Blunt. 'Tis so- she
is taken- I have Beauties which my false Glass at home did not
discover. [She often passes by Blunt and gazes on him; he struts, and
cocks, and walks, and gazes on her. Flor. This Woman watches me so, I
shall get no Opportunity to discover my self to him, and so miss the
intent of my coming- But as I was saying, Sir- by this Line you should
be a Lover. [Looking in his Hand. Belv. I thought how right you
guess'd, all Men are in love, or pretend to be so- Come, let me go,
I'm weary of this fooling. [Walks away. Flor. I will not, till you
have confess'd whether the Passion that you have vow'd Florinda be
true or false. [She holds him, he strives to get from her. Belv.
Florinda! [Turns quick towards her. Flor. Softly. Belv. Thou hast
nam'd one will fix me here for ever. Flor. She'll be disappointed
then, who expects you this Night at the Garden-gate, and if you'll
fail not- as let me see the other Hand- you will go near to do- she
vows to die or make you happy. [Looks on Callis, who observes 'em.
Belv. What canst thou mean? Flor. That which I say- Farewel. [Offers
to go. Belv. Oh charming Sybil, stay, complete that Joy, which, as it
is, will turn into Distraction!- Where must I be? at the Garden- gate?
I know it- at night you say- I'll sooner forfeit Heaven than disobey.
