I don't stand shill I�察�shall I�察�then�察�if I say't�察�I'll do't。 But I have thoughts to
tarry a small matter in town�察�to learn somewhat of your lingo first�察�before I
cross the seas。 I'd gladly have a spice of your French as they say�察�whereby
to hold discourse in foreign countries。
MRS。 MAR。 Here's an academy in town for that use。
SIR WIL。 There is�拭�'Tis like there may。
MRS。 MAR。 No doubt you will return very much improved。
WIT。 Yes�察�refined like a Dutch skipper from a whale´fishing。

SIR WIL。 I'm very well�察�I thank you�察�aunt。 However�察�I thank you for
your courteous offer。 'Sheart�察 �I was afraid you would have been in the
fashion too�察 �and have remembered to have forgot your relations。 Here's
your cousin Tony�察�belike�察�I mayn't call him brother for fear of offence。
LADY。 Oh�察�he's a rallier�察�nephew。 My cousin's a wit�此�and your great

nephew�察 �you'll understand raillery better。 ��FAINALL and MRS。

MINC。 Mem�察�I come to acquaint your laship that dinner is impatient。

SCENE XVIII。
MRS。 MARWOOD�察�FAINALL。
FAIN。 Why�察�then�察�Foible's a bawd�察�an errant�察�rank match´making bawd。
And I�察�it seems�察�am a husband�察�a rank husband�察�and my wife a very errant�察�
rank wife��all in the way of the world。 'Sdeath�察 �to be a cuckold by
anticipation�察�a cuckold in embryo� �Sure I was born with budding antlers
like a young satyr�察�or a citizen's child�察�'sdeath�察�to be out´witted�察�to be out´
jilted�察 �out´matrimonied。 If I had kept my speed like a stag�察 �'twere
somewhat�察 �but to crawl after�察 �with my horns like a snail�察 �and be
outstripped by my wife'tis scurvy wedlock。
MRS。 MAR。 Then shake it off�此 �you have often wished for an
opportunity to part�察�and now you have it。 But first prevent their plot�此� the
half of Millamant's fortune is too considerable to be parted with to a foe�察�
to Mirabell。
FAIN。 Damn him�察 �that had been minehad you not made that fond
discovery。 That had been forfeited�察�had they been married。 My wife had
added lustre to my horns by that increase of fortune�此�I could have worn
'em tipt with gold�察�though my forehead had been furnished like a deputy´
lieutenant's hall。
MRS。 MAR。 They may prove a cap of maintenance to you still�察�if you
can away with your wife。 And she's no worse than when you had her�此� I
dare swear she had given up her game before she was married。
FAIN。 Hum� �That may be ´
MRS。 MAR。 You married her to keep you�察�and if you can contrive to
have her keep you better than you expected�察�why should you not keep her
longer than you intended�拭�
FAIN。 The means�察�the means�拭�
MRS。 MAR。 Discover to my lady your wife's conduct�察�threaten to part
with her。 My lady loves her�察�and will come to any composition to save her
reputation。 Take the opportunity of breaking it just upon the discovery of
this imposture。 My lady will be enraged beyond bounds�察 �and sacrifice
niece�察�and fortune and all at that conjuncture。 And let me alone to keep her
warm�此�if she should flag in her part�察�I will not fail to prompt her。

FAIN。 Faith�察�this has an appearance。 MRS。 MAR。 I'm sorry I hinted to
my lady to endeavour a match between Millamant and Sir Wilfull�察 �that
may be an obstacle。
FAIN。 Oh�察�for that matter�察�leave me to manage him�察�I'll disable him for
that�察�he will drink like a Dane。 After dinner I'll set his hand in。
MRS。 MAR。 Well�察�how do you stand affected towards your lady�拭�
FAIN。 Why�察�faith�察�I'm thinking of it。 Let me see。 I am married already�察�
so that's over。 My wife has played the jade with me�察�well�察�that's over too。 I
never loved her�察 �or if I had�察�why that would have been over too by this
time。 Jealous of her I cannot be�察 �for I am certain�察 �so there's an end of
jealousy。 Weary of her I am and shall be。 No�察�there's no end of that�察�no�察�no�察�
that were too much to hope。 Thus far concerning my repose。 Now for my
reputation�此�as to my own�察�I married not for it�察�so that's out of the question。
And as to my part in my wife'swhy�察�she had parted with hers before�察�so�察�
bringing none to me�察 �she can take none from me�此 �'tis against all rule of
play that I should lose to one who has not wherewithal to stake。
MRS。 MAR。 Besides you forget�察�marriage is honourable。
FAIN。 Hum� �Faith�察�and that's well thought on�此�marriage is honourable�察�
as you say�察�and if so�察�wherefore should cuckoldom be a discredit�察�being
derived from so honourable a root�拭�
MRS。 MAR。 Nay�察�I know not�察�if the root be honourable�察�why not the
branches�拭�
FAIN。 So�察�so�察�why this point's clear。 Well�察�how do we proceed�拭�
MRS。 MAR。 I will contrive a letter which shall be delivered to my
lady at the time when that rascal who is to act Sir Rowland is with her。 It
shall come as from an unknown handfor the less I appear to know of the
truth the better I can play the incendiary。 Besides�察�I would not have Foible
provoked if I could help it�察�because�察�you know�察�she knows some passages。
Nay�察�I expect all will come out。 But let the mine be sprung first�察�and then I
care not if I am discovered。
FAIN。 If the worst come to the worst�察�I'll turn my wife to grass。 I have
already a deed of settlement of the best part of her estate�察 �which I
wheedled out of her�察�and that you shall partake at least。
MRS。 MAR。 I hope you are convinced that I hate Mirabell now�拭�You'll

be no more jealous�拭�
FAIN。 Jealous�拭�No�察�by this kiss。 Let husbands be jealous�察�but let the
lover still believe�此�or if he doubt�察�let it be only to endear his pleasure�察�and
prepare the joy that follows�察 �when he proves his mistress true。 But let
husbands' doubts convert to endless jealousy�察�or if they have belief�察�let it
corrupt to superstition and blind credulity。 I am single and will herd no
more with 'em。 True�察�I wear the badge�察�but I'll disown the order。 And since
I take my leave of 'em�察�I care not if I leave 'em a common motto to their
common crest。
All husbands must or pain or shame endure�察�The wise too jealous are�察�
fools too secure。
