Aur.I, Sir, I! you'd best go look her out, and marry her, she has but one Husband yet.
Trum.Nay, prethee, good Aurelia be not angry,For I will never Love or See her more.I do not say she was more Fair than thou art,Yet if I did? No, but I wo'not say so!Only allow me this one short last remembrance of one I lov'd so long. And now I think on't, I'l beg a favour of you, you will Laugh at me I know, when you have heard it, but prethee grant it; 'tis that you would be Veil'd, as Lucia was of late, for this one day; I would fain marry thee so; 'Tis an odd foolish fancy, I confess, But Love and Grief may be allow'd sometimes A little Innocent folly.
Aur.Good! this Fool will help me I see to cheat himself;At a dead lift, a little hint will serve me.I'l do't for him to the Life.
Trum.Will you Aurelia?
Aur.That's but a small Compliance; you'l ha' power anon to Command me greater things.
Trum.We shall be marry'd very privately;None but our selves; and that's e'en best, Aurelia.Why do I stick here at a Fatal stepThat must be made? Aurelia, are you ready?The Minister stays for us.
Aur.I'l but go in and take my Veil, as you Command me Sir; Walk but a few turns in the Garden, in less than half an hour I'l come to you, ha, ha, ha! [Exit.
Trum.I go, I am Condemn'd, and must Obey;The Executioner stays for me at Church. [Exit.
