airs beyond comparison。 Hark� �There's a coach。

waited this half hour for an opportunity to talk with you�察�though my lady's 

orders were to leave you and Sir Wilfull together。 Shall I tell Mr。 Mirabell

encouraged   with   a   bottle   or   two�察  �because   I'm   somewhat   wary   at   first�察�

that I might not be troublesome�察�I would have sought a walk with you。 

    MILLA。 A walk�拭�What then�拭�

     SIR WIL。 Nay�察�nothing。 Only for the walk's sake�察�that's all。 

    MILLA。       I  nauseate   walking�此  �'tis  a  country  diversion�察  �I  loathe  the 

country and everything that relates to it。 

     SIR WIL。 Indeed� �Hah� �Look ye�察�look ye�察�you do�拭�Nay�察�'tis like you 

may。 Here are choice of pastimes here in town�察�as plays and the like�察�that 

must be confessed indeed ´

     SIR WIL。 Dear heart�察�that's much。 Hah� �that you should hate 'em both� �

Hah� �'tis like you may� �There are some can't relish the town�察�and others 

can't away with the country�察�'tis like you may be one of those�察�cousin。 

     MILLA。 Ha�察�ha�察�ha� �Yes�察�'tis like I may。 You have nothing further to 

say to me�拭�

     SIR WIL。 Not at present�察�cousin。 'Tis like when I have an opportunity 

to be more privateI may break my mind in some measure´ ´I conjecture 

you partly guess。 However�察�that's as time shall try。 But spare to speak and 

spare to speed�察�as they say。 

     MILLA。 If it is of no great importance�察�Sir Wilfull�察�you will oblige me 

to leave me�此�I have just now a little business。 

     SIR WIL。 Enough�察�enough�察�cousin。 Yes�察�yes�察�all a case。 When you're 

disposed�察    �when    you're   disposed。    Now's     as  well   as  another    time�察 �and 

another time as well as now。 All's one for that。 Yes�察�yes�察�if your concerns

                                       SCENE V。 



       MRS。 MILLAMANT�察�MIRABELL。 

     MIRA。 Like Daphne she�察�as lovely and as coy。 

     Do you lock yourself up from me�察�to make my search more curious�拭�

Or is this pretty artifice contrived�察�to signify that here the chase must end�察�

and my pursuit be crowned�察�for you can fly no further�拭�

     MILLA。       Vanity�   �NoI'll   fly   and  be  followed    to  the  last  moment�察�

though I am upon the very verge of matrimony�察�I expect you should solicit 

me as much as if I were wavering at the grate of a monastery�察�with one 

foot    over   the   threshold。    I'll  be  solicited   to  the   very   last�察 �nay�察  �and 

afterwards。 

     MIRA。 What�察�after the last�拭�

     MILLA。 Oh�察�I should think I was poor and had nothing to bestow if I 

were reduced to an inglorious ease�察�and freed from the agreeable fatigues 

of solicitation。 

     MIRA。   But   do   not   you   know   that   when   favours   are   conferred   upon 

instant and tedious solicitation�察�that they diminish in their value�察�and that 

both the giver loses the grace�察�and the receiver lessens his pleasure�拭�

     MILLA。 It may be in things of common application�察�but never�察�sure�察�in 

love。   Oh�察  �I   hate   a   lover   that   can   dare   to   think   he   draws   a   moment's   air 

independent   on   the   bounty   of   his   mistress。   There   is   not   so   impudent   a 

thing in nature as the saucy look of an assured man confident of success�此�

the pedantic arrogance of a very husband has not so pragmatical an air。 Ah�察�

I'll never marry�察�unless I am first made sure of my will and pleasure。 

     MIRA。   Would   you   have   'em   both   before   marriage�拭  �Or   will   you   be 

contented with the first now�察�and stay for the other till after grace�拭�

     MILLA。 Ah�察�don't be impertinent。 My dear liberty�察�shall I leave thee�拭�

My faithful solitude�察�my darling contemplation�察�must I bid you then adieu�拭�

Ay´h�察�adieu。 My morning thoughts�察�agreeable wakings�察�indolent slumbers�察�

all ye DOUCEURS�察�ye SOMMEILS DU MATIN�察�adieu。 I can't do't�察�'tis 

more than impossiblepositively�察�Mirabell�察�I'll lie a´bed in a morning as 

long as I please。 

     MI RA。 Then I'll get up in a morning as early as I please。
