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�

     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�

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。

     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

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

reputation。

me     wrongfullyI     have    proved     your    falsehood。    Go�察   �you    and   your 

treacherousI will not name it�察�but starve together。 Perish。
