The Scene, LONDON.

ACT I.

SCENE I. The Street, at break of Day.

    Enter Bellmour disguis’d in a travelling Habit.

Bel.  Sure ’tis the day that gleams in yonder East,
The day that all but Lovers blest by Shade
Pay chearful Homage to: 
Lovers! and those pursu’d like guilty me
By rigid Laws, which put no difference
’Twixt fairly killing in my own Defence,
And Murders bred by drunken Arguments,
Whores, or the mean Revenges of a Coward. 
—­This is Leticia’s Father’s House—­ [Looking about. 
And that the dear Balcony
That has so oft been conscious of our Loves;
From whence she has sent me down a thousand Sighs,
A thousand looks of Love, a thousand Vows. 
O thou dear witness of those charming Hours,
How do I bless thee, how am I pleas’d to view thee
After a tedious Age of Six Months Banishment.

    Enter Mr.  Gingle and several with Musick.

Fid.  But hark ye, Mr. Gingle, is it proper to play before the Wedding?

Gin.  Ever while you live, for many a time in playing after the first night, the Bride’s sleepy, the Bridegroom tir’d, and both so out of humour, that perhaps they hate any thing that puts ’em in mind they are married.

[They play and sing.

    Enter Phillis in the Balcony, throws ’em Money.

  Rise, Cloris, charming Maid, arise! 
    And baffle breaking Day,
  Shew the adoring World thy Eyes
    Are more surprizing gay;
