Cutter of Coleman-street.
It is not yet far gone, but call it quickly,
'Tis in a dangerous way; I will forget thy error,
And spend this night in prayers that Heaven may do so.
Exit Aur.
Would she have had me been mine own Adulterer?
Before my Marriage?——— Oh lust——— Oh frailty———
Where in all human nature shall we miss
The ulcerous fermentations of thy heat,
When thus (alas) we find thee breaking out
Exit.Upon the comli'st Visage of perfection?

Pun.I like it better, I love odd things.
Aur. Why thus then, you know Mr. Truman took an Oath to his father never to see my Cousin more without his leave.
Pun.
