[Turns away, he holds her. Aria. Hah, sure 'tis
the Captain. Will. Prithee, Child, let's leave 'em to themselves,
they'l agree matters I'll warrant them when they are alone; and let us
try how Love and Good-nature will provide for us. Aria. Sure he cannot
know me?- Us!- pray who are you, and who am I? Will. Why look ye,
Child, I am a very honest civil Fellow, for my part, and thou'rt a
Woman for thine; and I desire to know no more at present. Aria. 'Tis
he, and knows not me to be the same he appointed to day- Sir, pursue
that Path on your right Hand, that Grove of Orange- Trees, and I'll
follow you immediately. Will. Kind and civil- prithee make haste, dear
Child. [Exit. Will. Beau. And did you come to call me back again?
[Lovingly. La Nu. No matter, you are to be marry'd, Sir- Beau. No
more, 'tis true, to please my Uncle, I have talk'd of some such thing;
but I'll pursue it no farther, so thou wilt yet be mine, and mine
intirely- I hate this Ariadne- for a Wife- by Heaven I do. Aria. A
very plain Confession. [Claps him on the back. Beau. Ariadne! La Nu.
I'm glad of this, now I shall be rid of him. [Aside. -How is't, Sir? I
see you struggle hard 'twixt Love and Honour, and I'll resign my
Place- [Offers to go, Ariadne pulls her back. Aria. Hold, if she take
him not away, I shall disappoint my Man- faith, I'll not be out-done
in Generosity.
