Scene XIV.

The Way of the World

by William Congreve





WAITWELL, FOIBLE.

WAITWELL
Fie, fie! What a slavery have I undergone; spouse,
hast thou any cordial? I want spirits.

FOIBLE
What a washy rogue art thou, to pant thus for a
quarter of an hour's lying and swearing to a fine lady?

WAITWELL
Oh, she is the antidote to desire. Spouse, thou
wilt fare the worse for't. I shall have no appetite to iteration of
nuptials- -this eight-and-forty hours. By this hand I'd rather be a
chairman in the dog-days than act Sir Rowland till this time
to-morrow.
