MIRABELL。
SIR WIL。 Look up�察�man�察�I'll stand by you�察�'sbud�察�an she do frown�察�she
can't kill you。 Besidesharkee�察 �she dare not frown desperately�察 �because
her face is none of her own。 'Sheart�察 �an she should�察 �her forehead would
wrinkle like the coat of a cream cheese�察�but mum for that�察�fellow´traveller。
MIRA。 If a deep sense of the many injuries I have offered to so good a
lady�察 �with a sincere remorse and a hearty contrition�察 �can but obtain the
least glance of compassion。 I am too happy。 Ah�察�madam�察�there was a time´
´but let it be forgotten。 I confess I have deservedly forfeited the high place
I once held�察�of sighing at your feet�察�nay�察�kill me not by turning from me in
disdain�察 �I come not to plead for favour。 Nay�察 �not for pardon�此 �I am a
suppliant only for pity�此� I am going where I never shall behold you more。
SIR WIL。 How�察�fellow´traveller�拭�You shall go by yourself then。
MIRA。 Let me be pitied first�察�and afterwards forgotten。 I ask no more。
SIR WIL。 By'r lady�察 �a very reasonable request�察 �and will cost you
nothing�察 �aunt。 Come�察 �come�察 �forgive and forget�察 �aunt。 Why you must an
you are a Christian。
MIRA。 Consider�察 �madam�察 �in reality you could not receive much
prejudice�此 �it was an innocent device�察 �though I confess it had a face of
guiltinessit was at most an artifice which love contrived´ ´and errors
which love produces have ever been accounted venial。 At least think it is
punishment enough that I have lost what in my heart I hold most dear�察�that
to your cruel indignation I have offered up this beauty�察�and with her my
peace and quiet�察�nay�察�all my hopes of future comfort。
SIR WIL。 An he does not move me�察 �would I may never be o' the
quorum。 An it were not as good a deed as to drink�察�to give her to him again�察�
I would I might never take shipping。 Aunt�察�if you don't forgive quickly�察�I
shall melt�察 �I can tell you that。 My contract went no farther than a little
mouth´glue�察�and that's hardly dry�察�one doleful sigh more from my fellow´
traveller and 'tis dissolved。
LADY。 Well�察 �nephew�察 �upon your account。 Ah�察 �he has a false

insinuating tongue。 Well�察 �sir�察 �I will stifle my just resentment at my
nephew's request。 I will endeavour what I can to forget�察�but on proviso that
you resign the contract with my niece immediately。
MIRA。 It is in writing and with papers of concern�察�but I have sent my
servant for it�察�and will deliver it to you�察�with all acknowledgments for your
transcendent goodness。
LADY。 Oh�察�he has witchcraft in his eyes and tongue�察�when I did not
see him I could have bribed a villain to his assassination�察 �but his
appearance rakes the embers which have so long lain smothered in my
breast。 ��Aside。�А�

SCENE X。
��To them�А�FAINALL�察�MRS。 MARWOOD。
FAIN。 Your date of deliberation�察 �madam�察 �is expired。 Here is the
instrument�察�are you prepared to sign�拭�
LADY。 If I were prepared�察 �I am not impowered。 My niece exerts a
lawful claim�察�having matched herself by my direction to Sir Wilfull。
FAIN。 That sham is too gross to pass on me�察�though 'tis imposed on
you�察�madam。
MILLA。 Sir�察�I have given my consent。
MIRA。 And�察�sir�察�I have resigned my pretensions。
SIR WIL。 And�察�sir�察�I assert my right�察�and will maintain it in defiance of
you�察�sir�察�and of your instrument。 'Sheart�察�an you talk of an instrument sir�察�I
have an old fox by my thigh shall hack your instrument of ram vellum to
shreds�察�sir。 It shall not be sufficient for a Mittimus or a tailor's measure�察�
therefore withdraw your instrument�察�sir�察�or�察�by'r lady�察�I shall draw mine。
LADY。 Hold�察�nephew�察�hold。
MILLA。 Good Sir Wilfull�察�respite your valour。
FAIN。 Indeed�拭�Are you provided of your guard�察�with your single beef´
eater there�拭�But I'm prepared for you�察�and insist upon my first proposal。
You shall submit your own estate to my management�察�and absolutely make
over my wife's to my sole use�察�as pursuant to the purport and tenor of this
other covenant。 I suppose�察 �madam�察 �your consent is not requisite in this
case�察�nor�察�Mr。 Mirabell�察�your resignation�察�nor�察�Sir Wilfull�察�your right。 You
may draw your fox if you please�察 �sir�察 �and make a bear´garden flourish
somewhere else�察�for here it will not avail。 This�察�my Lady Wishfort�察�must
be subscribed�察�or your darling daughter's turned adrift�察�like a leaky hulk to
sink or swim�察�as she and the current of this lewd town can agree。
LADY。 Is there no means�察 �no remedy�察 �to stop my ruin�拭 �Ungrateful
wretch� �Dost thou not owe thy being�察 �thy subsistance�察 �to my daughter's
fortune�拭�
FAIN。 I'll answer you when I have the rest of it in my possession。
MIRA。 But that you would not accept of a remedy from my handsI
own I have not deserved you should owe any obligation to me�察 �or else�察�

perhaps�察�I could devise ´
LADY。 Oh�察 �what�拭 �what�拭 �To save me and my child from ruin�察 �from
want�察�I'll forgive all that's past�察�nay�察�I'll consent to anything to come�察�to be
delivered from this tyranny。
MIRA。 Ay�察�madam�察�but that is too late�察�my reward is intercepted。 You
have disposed of her who only could have made me a compensation for all
my services。 But be it as it may�察�I am resolved I'll serve you�察�you shall not
be wronged in this savage manner。
LADY。 How�拭�Dear Mr。 Mirabell�察�can you be so generous at last�拭�But it
is not possible。 Harkee�察�I'll break my nephew's match�察�you shall have my
niece yet�察�and all her fortune�察�if you can but save me from this imminent
danger。
MIRA。 Will you�拭�I take you at your word。 I ask no more。 I must have
leave for two criminals to appear。
LADY。 Ay�察�ay�察�anybody�察�anybody。
MIRA。 Foible is one�察�and a penitent。

MRS。 MAR。 O my shame� 。�MIRABELL and LADY go to MRS。
FAINALL and FOIBLE。�А �These currupt things are brought hither to
expose me。 ��To FAINALL。�А�
FAIN。 If it must all come out�察�why let 'em know it�察�'tis but the way of
the world。 That shall not urge me to relinquish or abate one tittle of my
terms�察�no�察�I will insist the more。
FOIB。 Yes�察�indeed�察�madam�察�I'll take my bible´oath of it。
MINC。 And so will I�察�mem。
LADY。 O Marwood�察�Marwood�察�art thou false�拭�My friend deceive me�拭�
Hast thou been a wicked accomplice with that profligate man�拭�
MRS。 MAR。 Have you so much ingratitude and injustice to give credit�察�
against your friend�察�to the aspersions of two such mercenary trulls�拭�
MINC。 Mercenary�察�mem�拭�I scorn your words。 'Tis true we found you
and Mr。 Fainall in the blue garret�察 �by the same token�察 �you swore us to
secrecy upon Messalinas's poems。 Mercenary�拭�No�察�if we would have been
mercenary�察�we should have held our tongues�察�you would have bribed us
sufficiently。
FAIN。 Go�察�you are an insignificant thing。 Well�察�what are you the better
for this�拭 �Is this Mr。 Mirabell's expedient�拭 �I'll be put off no longer。 You�察�
thing�察 �that was a wife�察 �shall smart for this。 I will not leave thee
wherewithal to hide thy shame�此 �your body shall be naked as your
reputation。
MRS。 FAIN。 I despise you and defy your malice。 You have aspersed
me wrongfullyI have proved your falsehood。 Go�察 �you and your
treacherousI will not name it�察�but starve together。 Perish。
FAIN。 Not while you are worth a groat�察�indeed�察�my dear。 Madam�察�I'll
be fooled no longer。
LADY。 Ah�察 �Mr。 Mirabell�察 �this is small comfort�察 �the detection of this
affair。
MIRA。 Oh�察 �in good time。 Your leave for the other offender and
penitent to appear�察�madam。
