 Lady Answ. Well, Miss, you’ll certainly be soon marry’d; here’s Two
Batchelors drinking to you at once.
Lady Smart. Indeed, Miss, I believe you were wrapt in your
Mother’s Smock, you are so well belov’d.
Miss. Where’s my Knife? Sure I han’t eaten it. Oh! here it is.
Sir John. No, Miss; but your Maidenhead hangs in your Light.
Miss. Pray, Sir John, is that a Darbyshire Compliment? Here, Mr.
Neverout, will you take this Piece of Rabbit that you bid me carve for
you?
Neverout. I don’t know.
Miss. Why, take it, or let it alone.
Neverout. I will.
Miss. What will you?
Neverout. Why, I’ll take it, or let it alone.
Miss. You are a provoking Creature.
Sir John [talking with a Glass of Wine in his Hand.] I remember a
Farmer in our Country——
Ld. Smart [interrupting him.] Pray, Sir John, did you ever hear of
Parson Palmer?
Sir John. No, my Lord; what of him?
Ld. Smart. Why, he used to preach over his Liquor.
Sir John. I beg your Pardon; here’s your Lordship’s Health: I’d
drink it up, if it were a Mile to the Bottom.
Lady Smart. Mr. Neverout, have you been at the new Play?
Neverout. Yes, Madam; I went the first Night.
Lady Smart. Well; and how did it take?
Neverout. Why, Madam, the Poet is damn’d.
 Sir John. God forgive you! that’s very uncharitable: you ought not
to judge so rashly of any Christian.
Neverout [whispers Lady Smart.] Was ever such a Dunce? How
well he knows the Town! see, how he stares like a Stuck-Pig! Well,
but, Sir John, are you acquainted with any of our fine Ladies yet?
any of our famous Toasts?
Sir John. No; damn your Fireships, I have a Wife of my own.
Lady Smart. Pray, my Lady Answerall, how do you like these
preserv’d Oranges?
Lady Answ. Indeed, Madam, the only Fault I find is, that they are
too good.
Lady Smart. O Madam; I have heard ’em say, that too good is
stark naught.

[Miss drinking Part of a Glass of Wine.

Neverout. Pray, let me drink your Snuff.

Miss. No, indeed; you shan’t drink after me, for you’ll know my
Thoughts.
Neverout. I know them already; you are thinking of a good
Husband: Besides, I can tell your Meaning by your Mumping.
Lady Smart. Pray, my Lord, did not you order the Butler to bring
up a Tankard of our October to Sir John? I believe, they stay to brew
it.

[The Butler brings up the Tankard to Sir John.

Sir John. Won’t your Ladyship please to drink first?

Lady Smart. No, Sir John; ’tis in a very good Hand; I’ll pledge you.
 Col. [to Ld. Smart.] My Lord, I love October as well as Sir John;
and I hope, you won’t make Fish of one, and Flesh of another.
Ld. Smart. Colonel, you’re heartily welcome. Come, Sir John, take
it by Word of Mouth, and then give it the Colonel.

[Sir John drinks.

Ld. Smart. Well, Sir John, how do you like it?

Sir John. Not as well as my own in Darbyshire; ’tis plaguy small.
Lady Smart. I never taste Malt Liquor; but they say, ’tis well hopt.
Sir John. Hopt! why, if it had hopp’d a little further, it would have
hopp’d into the River. O my Lord, my Ale is Meat, Drink and Cloth; it
will make a Cat speak, and a wise Man dumb.
Lady Smart. I was told, ours was very strong.
Sir John. Ay, Madam, strong of the Water; I believe the Brewer
forgot the Malt, or the River was too near him: Faith, it is mere
Whip-Belly-Vengeance; he that drinks most has the worst Share.
Col. I believe, Sir John, Ale is as Plenty as Water at your House.
Sir John. Why, faith, at Christmas we have many Comers and
Goers; and they must not be sent away without a Cup of Christmas
Ale, for fear they should —— behind the Door.
Lady Smart. I hear, Sir John has the nicest Garden in England;
they say, ’tis kept so clean, that you can’t find a Place where to spit.
Sir John. O Madam; you are pleased to say so.
Lady Smart. But, Sir John, your Ale is terrible strong and heady in
Derbyshire, and will soon make one drunk and sick; what do you
then?
Sir John. Why, indeed, it is apt to fox one; but our Way is, to take
a Hair of the same Dog next Morning.——I take a new-laid Egg for
Breakfast; and, faith, one should drink as much after an Egg as after
an Ox.
Ld. Smart. Tom Neverout, will you taste a Glass of the October?
Neverout. No, faith, my Lord; I like your Wine, and I won’t put a
Churle upon a Gentleman; your Honour’s Claret is good enough for
me.
Lady Smart. What! is this Pigeon left for Manners? Colonel, shall I
send you the Legs and Rump?
Col. Madam, I could not eat a Bit more, if the House was full.
Ld. Smart [carving a Partridge.] Well; one may ride to Rumford
upon this Knife, it is so blunt.
Lady Answ. My Lord, I beg your Pardon; but they say, an ill
Workman never had good Tools.
Ld. Smart. Will your Lordship have a Wing of it?
Ld. Sparkish. No, my Lord; I love the Wing of an Ox a great deal
better.
Ld. Smart. I’m always cold after Eating.
Col. My Lord, they say, that’s a Sign of long Life.
Ld. Smart. Ay; I believe I shall live till all my Friends are weary of
me.
Col. Pray, does any body here hate Cheese? I would be glad of a
Bit.
Ld. Smart. An odd kind of Fellow dined with me t’other Day; and
when the Cheese came upon the Table, he pretended to faint; so
somebody said, Pray, take away the Cheese; No, said I; pray, take
away the Fool: Said I well?

[Here a large and loud Laugh.

 Col. Faith, my Lord, you serv’d the Coxcomb right enough; and
therefore I wish we had a Bit of your Lordship’s Oxfordshire Cheese.
Ld. Smart. Come, hang Saving; bring us a Halfporth of Cheese.
Lady Answ. They say, Cheese digests every thing but itself.

[A Footman brings a great whole Cheese.

Ld. Sparkish. Ay; this would look handsome, if any body should
come in.
Sir John. Well; I’m weily rosten, as they sayn in Lancashire.
Lady Smart. Oh! Sir John; I wou’d I had something to brost you
withal.
Ld. Smart. Come; they say, ’tis merry in Hall, when Beards wag
all.
Lady Smart. Miss, shall I help you to some Cheese? or will you
carve for yourself?
Neverout. I’ll hold Fifty Pounds, Miss won’t cut the Cheese.
Miss. Pray, why so, Mr. Neverout?
Neverout. Oh there is a Reason, and you know it well enough.
Miss. I can’t for my Life understand what the Gentleman means.
Ld. Smart. Pray, Tom, change the Discourse; in Troth you are too
bad.
Col. [whispers Neverout.] Smoke Miss; faith, you have made her
fret like Gum Taffety.
Lady Smart. Well, but Miss; (hold your Tongue, Mr. Neverout) shall
I cut you a Piece of Cheese?
Miss. No, really, Madam; I have dined this half Hour.
Lady Smart. What! quick at Meat, quick at Work, they say.
 [Sir John nods.

Ld. Smart. What! are you sleepy, Sir John? do you sleep after
Dinner?
Sir John. Yes, faith; I sometimes take a Nap after my Pipe; for
when the Belly is full, the Bones will be at Rest.
Ld. Smart. Come, Colonel; help yourself, and your Friends will love
you the better. [To Lady Answ.] Madam, your Ladyship eats nothing.
Lady Answ. Lord, Madam, I have fed like a Farmer; I shall grow as
fat as a Porpoise; I swear my Jaws are weary of chawing.
Col. I have a Mind to eat a Piece of that Sturgeon; but fear it will
make me sick.
Neverout. A rare Soldier indeed! Let it alone, and I warrant it
won’t hurt you.
Col. Well; but it would vex a Dog to see a Pudden creep.

[Sir John rises.

Ld. Smart. Sir John, what are you doing?

Sir John. Swolks, I must be going, by’r Lady; I have earnest
Business; I must do as the Beggars do, go away when I have got
enough.
Ld. Smart. Well, but stay till this Bottle’s out; you know, the Man
was hang’d that left his Liquor behind him: And besides, a Cup in
the Pate is a Mile in the Gate; and a Spur in the Head is worth two in
the Heel.
Sir John. Come then; one Brimmer to all your Healths. [The
Footman gives him a Glass half full.] Pray, Friend, what was the rest
of this Glass made for? An Inch at the Top, Friend, is worth two at
the Bottom. [He gets a Brimmer, and drinks it off.] Well, there’s no
Deceit in a Brimmer, and there’s no false Latin in this; your Wine is
excellent good, so I thank you for the next, for I am sure of this:
Madam, has your Ladyship any Commands in Darbyshire? I must go
Fifteen Miles To-night.
Lady Smart. None, Sir John, but to take Care of Yourself; and my
most humble Service to your Lady unknown.
Sir John. Well, Madam, I can but love and thank you.
Lady Smart. Here, bring Water to wash; tho’, really, you have all
eaten so little, that you have no need to wash your Mouths.——
Ld. Smart. But, pr’ythee, Sir John, stay awhile longer.
Sir John. No, my Lord; I am to smoke a Pipe with a Friend before I
leave the Town.
Col. Why, Sir John, had not you better set out To-morrow?
Sir John. Colonel, you forget To-morrow is Sunday.
Col. Now I always love to begin a Journey on Sundays, because I
shall have the Prayers of the Church, to preserve all that travel by
Land, or by Water.
Sir John. Well, Colonel; thou art a mad Fellow to make a Priest of.
Neverout. Fie, Sir John, do you take Tobacco? How can you make
a Chimney of your Mouth?
Sir John [to Neverout.] What! you don’t smoke, I warrant you, but
you smock. (Ladies, I beg your Pardon.) Colonel, do you never
smoke?
Col. No, Sir John; but I take a Pipe sometimes.
Sir John. I’faith, one of your finical London Blades dined with me
last Year in Darbyshire; so, after Dinner, I took a Pipe; so my
Gentleman turn’d away his Head: So, said I, What, Sir, do you never
smoke? So, he answered as you do, Colonel; No, but I sometimes
take a Pipe: So, he took a Pipe in his Hand, and fiddled with it till he
broke it: So, said I, Pray, Sir, can you make a Pipe? So, he said No;
so, said I, Why, then, Sir, if you can’t make a Pipe, you should not
break a Pipe; so, we all laugh’d.
Ld. Smart. Well; but, Sir John, they say, that the Corruption of
Pipes is the Generation of Stoppers.
Sir John. Colonel, I hear, you go sometimes to Darbyshire; I wish
you would come and foul a Plate with me.
Col. I hope, you’ll give me a Soldier’s Bottle.
Sir John. Come, and try. Mr. Neverout, you are a Town-Wit, can
you tell me what kind of Herb is Tobacco?
Neverout. Why, an Indian Herb, Sir John.
Sir John. No,’tis a Pot Herb; and so here’s t’ye in a Pot of my Lord’s
October.
Lady Smart. I hear, Sir John, since you are married, you have
forsworn the Town.
Sir John. No, Madam; I never forswore any thing but building of
Churches.
Lady Smart. Well; but, Sir John, when may we hope to see you
again in London?
Sir John. Why, Madam, not till the Ducks have eat up the Dirt; as
the Children say.
Neverout. Come, Sir John; I foresee it will rain terribly.
Lady Smart. Come, Sir John, do nothing rashly; let us drink first.
Ld. Sparkish. I know Sir John will go, tho’ he was sure it would
rain Cats and Dogs: But pray, stay, Sir John; you’ll be time enough to
go to Bed by Candle-light.
Ld. Smart. Why, Sir John, if you must needs go; while you stay,
make good Use of your Time: Here’s my Service to you, a Health to
our Friends in Darbyshire: Come, sit down; let us put off the evil
Hour as long as we can.
 Sir John. Faith, I could not drink a Drop more, if the House was
full.
Col. Why, Sir John, you used to love a Glass of good Wine in
former Times.
Sir John. Why, so I do still, Colonel; but a Man may love his House
very well, without riding on the Ridge: Besides, I must be with my
Wife on Tuesday, or there will be the Devil and all to pay.
Col. Well, if you go To-day, I wish you may be wet to the Skin.
Sir John. Ay; but they say, the Prayers of the Wicked won’t prevail.

[Sir John takes Leave, and goes away.

Ld. Smart. Well, Miss, how do you like Sir John?

Miss. Why, I think, he’s a little upon the silly, or so: I believe, he
has not all the Wit in the World; but I don’t pretend to be a Judge.
Neverout. Faith, I believe, he was bred at Hogs-Norton, where the
Pigs play upon the Organs.
Ld. Sparkish. Why, Tom, I thought You and He were Hand and
Glove.
Neverout. Faith, he shall have a clean Threshold for me; I never
darkned his Door in my Life, neither in Town nor Country; but he’s a
quere old Duke by my Conscience; and yet, after all, I take him to
be more Knave than Fool.
Lady Smart. Well, come; a Man’s a Man, if he has but a Nose on
his Head.
Col. I was once with Him and some other Company over a Bottle;
and, egad, he fell asleep, and snor’d so hard, that we thought he
was driving his Hogs to Market.
Neverout. Why, what! you can have no more of a Cat than her
Skin; you can’t make a Silk Purse out of a Sow’s Ear.
 Ld. Sparkish. Well, since he’s gone, the Devil go with him and
Sixpence; and there’s Money and Company too.
Neverout. Faith, he’s a true Country Put. Pray, Miss, let me ask you
a Question?
Miss. Well; but don’t ask Questions with a dirty Face: I warrant,
what you have to say will keep cold.
Col. Come, my Lord, against you are disposed; Here’s to all that
love and honour you.
Ld. Sparkish. Ay, that was always Dick Nimble’s Health. I’m sure
you know he’s dead.
Col. Dead! Well, my Lord, you love to be a Messenger of ill News:
I’m heartily sorry; but, my Lord, we must all die.
Neverout. I knew him very well: But, pray, how came he to die?
Miss. There’s a Question! you talk like a Poticary: Why, because he
could live no longer.
Neverout. Well; rest his Soul: We must live by the Living, and not
by the Dead.
Ld. Sparkish. You know, his House was burnt down to the Ground.
Col. Yes; it was in the News: Why Fire and Water are good
Servants, but they are very bad Masters.
Ld. Smart. Here, take away, and set down a Bottle of Burgundy:
Ladies, you’ll stay, and drink a Glass of Wine before you go to your
Tea.

[All taken away, and the Wine set down, &c.

[Miss gives Neverout a smart Pinch.

Neverout. Lord, Miss, what d’ye mean! D’ye think I have no

Feeling?
 Miss. I’m forc’d to pinch, for the Times are hard.
Neverout [giving Miss a Pinch.] Take that, Miss; what’s Sauce for a
Goose is for a Gander.
Miss [screaming.] Well, Mr. Neverout, if I live, that shall neither go
to Heaven nor Hell with you.
Neverout [takes Miss’s Hand.] Come, Miss; let us lay all Quarrels
aside, and be Friends.
Miss. Don’t be so teizing! You plague a body so!——Can’t you
keep your filthy Hands to yourself?
Neverout. Pray, Miss, where did you get that Pick-Tooth Case?
Miss. I came honestly by it.
Neverout. I’m sure it was mine, for I lost just such a one; nay, I
don’t tell you a Lye.
Miss. No; if You lye, it is much.
Neverout. Well; I’m sure ’tis mine.
Miss. What! you think every Thing is yours, but a little the King
has.
Neverout. Colonel, you have seen my fine Pick-Tooth Case; don’t
you think this is the very same?
Col. Indeed, Miss, it is very like it.
Miss. Ay; what he says, you’ll swear.
Neverout. Well; but I’ll prove it to be mine.
Miss. Ay; do if you can.
Neverout. Why, what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is my own.
Miss. Well, run on till you’re weary, nobody holds you.

[Neverout gapes.
 Col. What, Mr. Neverout, do you gape for Preferment?
Neverout. Faith, I may gape long enough, before it falls into my
Mouth.
Lady Smart. Mr. Neverout, my Lord and I intend to beat up your
Quarters one of these Days: I hear, you live high.
Neverout. Yes, faith, Madam; live high, and lodge in a Garret.
Col. But, Miss, I forgot to tell you, that Mr. Neverout got the
devilishest Fall in the Park To-day.
Miss. I hope he did not hurt the Ground: But how was it, Mr.
Neverout? I wish I had been there, to laugh.
Neverout. Why, Madam, it was a Place where a Cuckold has been
bury’d, and one of his Horns sticking out, I happened to stumble
against it; that was all.
Lady Smart. Ladies, let us leave the Gentlemen to themselves; I
think it is Time to go to our Tea.
Lady Answ. & Miss. My Lords and Gentlemen, your most humble
Servant.
Ld. Smart. Well, Ladies, we’ll wait on you an Hour hence.

[The Gentlemen alone.

Ld. Smart. Come, John, bring us a fresh Bottle.

Col. Ay, my Lord; and, pray, let him carry off the dead Men (as we
say in the Army.)

[Meaning the empty Bottles.

Ld. Sparkish. Mr. Neverout, pray, is not that Bottle full?

Neverout. Yes, my Lord; full of Emptiness.
 Ld. Smart. And, d’ye hear, John? bring clean Glasses.
Col. I’ll keep mine; for I think, the Wine is the best Liquor to wash
Glasses in.
 POLITE CONVERSATION, ETC.
DIALOGUE III.

The Ladies at their Tea.

Lady Smart. Well, Ladies; now let us have a Cup of Discourse to
ourselves.
Lady Answ. What do you think of your Friend, Sir John Spendall?
Lady Smart. Why, Madam,’tis happy for him, that his Father was
born before him.
Miss. They say, he makes a very ill Husband to my Lady.
Lady Answ. But he must be allow’d to be the fondest Father in the
World.
Lady Smart. Ay, Madam, that’s true; for they say, the Devil is kind
to his own.
Miss. I am told, my Lady manages him to Admiration.
Lady Smart. That I believe; for she’s as cunning as a dead Pig; but
not half so honest.
Lady Answ. They say, she’s quite a Stranger to all his Gallantries.
Lady Smart. Not at all; but, you know, there’s none so blind as
they that won’t see.
Miss. O Madam, I am told, she watches him, as a Cat would watch
a Mouse.
Lady Answ. Well, if she ben’t foully belied, she pays him in his own
Coin.
Lady Smart. Madam, I fancy I know your Thoughts, as well as if I
were within you.
 Lady Answ. Madam, I was t’other Day in Company with Mrs.
Clatter; I find she gives herself Airs of being acquainted with your
Ladyship.
Miss. Oh, the hideous Creature! did you observe her Nails? they
were long enough to scratch her Granum out of her Grave.
Lady Smart. Well, She and Tom Gosling were banging
Compliments backwards and forwards; it look’d like Two Asses
scrubbing one another.
Miss. Ay, claw me, and I’ll claw thou: But, pray, Madam; who were
the Company?
Lady Smart. Why, there was all the World, and his Wife; there was
Mrs. Clatter, Lady Singular, the Countess of Talkham, (I should have
named her first;) Tom Goslin, and some others, whom I have forgot.
Lady Answ. I think the Countess is very sickly.
Lady Smart. Yes, Madam; she’ll never scratch a grey Head, I
promise her.
Miss. And, pray, what was your Conversation?
Lady Smart. Why, Mrs. Clatter had all the Talk to herself, and was
perpetually complaining of her Misfortunes.
Lady Answ. She brought her Husband Ten Thousand Pounds; she
has a Town-House and Country-house: Would the Woman have her
—— hung with Points?
Lady Smart. She would fain be at the Top of the House before the
Stairs are built.
Miss. Well, Comparisons are odious; but she’s as like her Husband,
as if she were spit out of his Mouth; as like as one Egg is to another:
Pray, how was she drest?
Lady Smart. Why, she was as fine as Fi’pence; but, truly, I
thought, there was more Cost than Worship.
Lady Answ. I don’t know her Husband: Pray, what is he?
 Lady Smart. Why, he’s a Concealer of the Law; you must know, he
came to us as drunk as David’s Sow.
Miss. What kind of Creature is he?
Lady Smart. You must know, the Man and his Wife are coupled
like Rabbets, a fat and a lean; he’s as fat as a Porpus, and she’s one
of Pharaoh’s lean Kine: The Ladies and Tom Gosling were proposing
a Party at Quadrille, but he refus’d to make one: Damn your Cards,
said he, they are the Devil’s Books.
Lady Answ. A dull unmannerly Brute! Well, God send him more
Wit, and me more Money.
Miss. Lord! Madam, I would not keep such Company for the
World.
Lady Smart. O Miss, ’tis nothing when you are used to it: Besides,
you know, for Want of Company, welcome Trumpery.
Miss. Did your Ladyship play?
Lady Smart. Yes, and won; so I came off with Fidlers Fare, Meat,
Drink, and Money.
Lady Answ. Ay; what says Pluck?
Miss. Well, my Elbow itches; I shall change Bed-fellows.
Lady Smart. And my Right Hand itches; I shall receive Money.
Lady Answ. And my Right Eye itches; I shall cry.
Lady Smart. Miss, I hear your Friend Mistress Giddy has discarded
Dick Shuttle: Pray, has she got another Lover?
Miss. I hear of none.
Lady Smart. Why, the Fellow’s rich; and I think she was a Fool to
throw out her dirty Water before she got clean.
Lady Answ. Miss, that’s a very handsome Gown of yours, and
finely made; very genteel.
Miss. I’m glad your Ladyship likes it.
 Lady Answ. Your Lover will be in Raptures; it becomes you
admirably.
Miss. Ay; I assure you I won’t take it as I have done; if this won’t
fetch him, the Devil fetch him, say I.
Lady Smart [to Lady Answ.] Pray, Madam, when did you see Sir
Peter Muckworm?
Lady Answ. Not this Fortnight; I hear, he’s laid up with the Gout.
Lady Smart. What does he do for it?
Lady Answ. Why I hear he’s weary of doctoring it, and now makes
Use of nothing but Patience and Flannel.
Miss. Pray, how does He and my Lady agree?
Lady Answ. You know, he loves her as the Devil loves Holy Water.
Miss. They say, she plays deep with Sharpers, that cheat her of
her Money.
Lady Answ. Upon my Word, they must rise early that would cheat
her of her Money; Sharp’s the Word with her; Diamonds cut
Diamonds.
Miss. Well, but I was assur’d from a good Hand that she lost at
one Sitting to the Tune of a hundred Guineas; make Money of that.
Lady Smart. Well, but do you hear, that Mrs. Plump is brought to
Bed at last?
Miss. And, pray, what has God sent her?
Lady Smart. Why, guess, if you can.
Miss. A Boy, I suppose.
Lady Smart. No, you are out; guess again.
Miss. A Girl then.
Lady Smart. You have hit it; I believe you are a Witch.
 Miss. O Madam; the Gentlemen say, all fine Ladies are Witches;
but I pretend to no such thing.
Lady Answ. Well, she had good Luck to draw Tom Plump into
Wedlock; she ris’ with her —— upwards.
Miss. Fie, Madam! what do you mean?
Lady Smart. O Miss; ’tis nothing what we say among ourselves.
Miss. Ay, Madam; but they say, Hedges have Eyes, and Walls have
Ears.
Lady Answ. Well, Miss, I can’t help it; you know, I am old Tell-
Truth; I love to call a Spade a Spade.
Lady Smart [mistakes the Tea-tongs for the Spoon.] What! I think
my Wits are a Wool-gathering To-day.
Miss. Why, Madam, there was but a Right and a Wrong.
Lady Smart. Miss, I hear, that You and Lady Coupler are as great
as Cup and Can.
Lady Answ. Ay, Miss; as great as the Devil and the Earl of Kent.
Lady Smart. Nay, I am told, you meet together with as much Love,
as there is between the old Cow and the Hay-stack.
Miss. I own, I love her very well; but there’s Difference betwixt
staring and stark mad.
Lady Smart. They say, she begins to grow fat.
Miss. Fat! ay, fat as a Hen in the Forehead.
Lady Smart. Indeed, Lady Answerall, (pray, forgive me) I think,
your Ladyship looks thinner than when I saw you last.
Miss. Indeed, Madam, I think not; but your Ladyship is one of
Job’s Comforters.
Lady Answ. Well, no matter how I look; I am bought and sold: but
really, Miss, you are so very obliging, that I wish I were a handsome
young Lord for your Sake.
 Miss. O Madam, your Love’s a Million.
Lady Smart [to Lady Answ.] Madam, will your Ladyship let me wait
on you to the Play To-morrow?
Lady Answ. Madam, it becomes me to wait on your Ladyship.
Miss. What, then, I’m turn’d out for a Wrangler.

[The Gentlemen come in to the Ladies to drink Tea.

Miss. Mr. Neverout, we wanted you sadly; you are always out of
the Way when you should be hang’d.
Neverout. You wanted me! Pray, Miss, how do you look when you
lye?
Miss. Better than you when you cry. Manners indeed! I find, you
mend like sour Ale in Summer.
Neverout. I beg your Pardon, Miss; I only meant, when you lie
alone.
Miss. That’s well turn’d; one Turn more would have turn’d you
down Stairs.
Neverout. Come, Miss; be kind for once, and order me a Dish of
Coffee.
Miss. Pray, go yourself; let us wear out the oldest first: Besides, I
can’t go, for I have a Bone in my Leg.
Col. They say, a Woman need but look on her Apron-string to find
an Excuse.
Neverout. Why, Miss, you are grown so peevish, a Dog would not
live with you.
Miss. Mr. Neverout, I beg your Diversion; no Offence, I hope: but
truly in a little time you intend to make the Colonel as bad as
yourself; and that’s as bad as bad can.
 Neverout. My Lord, don’t you think Miss improves wonderfully of
late? Why, Miss, if I spoil the Colonel, I hope you will use him as you
do me; for, you know, love me, love my Dog.
Col. How’s that, Tom? Say that again: Why, if I am a Dog, shake
Hands, Brother.

[Here a great, loud, long Laugh.

Ld. Smart. But, pray, Gentlemen, why always so severe upon poor
Miss? On my Conscience, Colonel and Tom Neverout, one of you two
are both Knaves.
Col. My Lady Answerall, I intend to do myself the Honour of dining
with your Ladyship To-morrow.
Lady Answ. Ay, Colonel; do if you can.
Miss. I’m sure you’ll be glad to be welcome.
Col. Miss, I thank you; and, to reward You, I’ll come and drink Tea
with you in the Morning.
Miss. Colonel, there’s Two Words to that Bargain.
Col. [to Lady Smart.] Your Ladyship has a very fine Watch; well
may you wear it.
Lady Smart. It is none of mine, Colonel.
Col. Pray, whose is it then?
Lady Smart. Why, ’tis my Lord’s; for they say, a marry’d Woman
has nothing of her own, but her Wedding-Ring and her Hair-Lace:
But if Women had been the Law-Makers, it would have been better.
Col. This Watch seems to be quite new.
Lady Smart. No, Sir; it has been Twenty Years in my Lord’s Family;
but Quare put a new Case and Dial-Plate to it.
 Neverout. Why, that’s for all the World like the Man who swore he
kept the same Knife forty Years, only he sometimes changed the
Haft, and sometimes the Blade.
Ld. Smart. Well, Tom, to give the Devil his Due, thou art a right
Woman’s Man.
Col. Odd-so! I have broke the Hinge of my Snuff-box; I’m undone
beside the Loss.
Miss. Alack-a-day, Colonel! I vow I had rather have found Forty
Shillings.
Neverout. Why, Colonel; all that I can say to comfort you, is, that
you must mend it with a new one.

[Miss laughs.

Col. What, Miss! you can’t laugh, but you must shew your Teeth.
Miss. I’m sure you shew your Teeth when you can’t bite: Well,
thus it must be, if we sell Ale.
Neverout. Miss, you smell very sweet; I hope you don’t carry
Perfumes.
Miss. Perfumes! No, Sir; I’d have you to know, it is nothing but the
Grain of my Skin.
Col. Tom, you have a good Nose to make a poor Man’s Sow.
Ld. Sparkish. So, Ladies and Gentlemen, methinks you are very
witty upon one another: Come, box it about; ’twill come to my
Father at last.
Col. Why, my Lord, you see Miss has no Mercy; I wish she were
marry’d; but I doubt, the grey Mare would prove the better Horse.
Miss. Well, God forgive you for that Wish.
Ld. Sparkish. Never fear him, Miss.
 Miss. What, my Lord, do you think I was born in a Wood, to be
afraid of an Owl?
Ld. Smart. What have you to say to that, Colonel?
Neverout. O my Lord, my Friend the Colonel scorns to set his Wit
against a Child.
Miss. Scornful Dogs will eat dirty Puddens.
Col. Well, Miss; they say, a Woman’s Tongue is the last thing about
her that dies; therefore let’s kiss and Friends.
Miss. Hands off! that’s Meat for your Master.
Ld. Sparkish. Faith, Colonel, you are for Ale and Cakes: But after
all, Miss, you are too severe; you would not meddle with your Match.
Miss. All they can say goes in at one Ear, and out at t’other for me,
I can assure you: Only I wish they would be quiet, and let me drink
my Tea.
Neverout. What! I warrant you think all is lost, that goes beside
your own Mouth.
Miss. Pray, Mr. Neverout, hold your Tongue for once, if it be
possible; one would think, you were a Woman in Man’s Cloaths, by
your prating.
Neverout. No, Miss; it is not handsome to see one hold one’s
Tongue: Besides, I should slobber my Fingers.
Col. Miss, did you never hear, that Three Women and a Goose are
enough to make a Market?
Miss. I’m sure, if Mr. Neverout or You were among them, it would
make a Fair.

[Footman comes in.

Lady Smart. Here, take away the Tea-table, and bring up Candles.
 Lady Answ. O Madam, no Candles yet, I beseech you; don’t let us
burn Day-Light.
Neverout. I dare swear, Miss, for her Part, will never burn Day-
Light, if she can help it.
Miss. Lord, Mr. Neverout, one can’t hear one’s own Ears for you.
Lady Smart. Indeed, Madam, it is Blind-Man’s Holiday; we shall
soon be all of a Colour.
Neverout. Why, then, Miss, we may kiss where we like best.
Miss. Fogh! these Men talk of nothing but kissing.

[She spits.

Neverout. What, Miss, does it make your Mouth water?

Lady Smart. It is as good be in the Dark as without Light;
therefore pray bring in Candles: They say, Women and Linen shew
best by Candle-Light: Come, Gentlemen, are you for a Party at
Quadrille?
Col. I’ll make one with you three Ladies.
Lady Answ. I’ll sit down, and be a Stander-by.
Lady Smart. [to Lady Answ.] Madam, does your Ladyship never
play?
Col. Yes; I suppose her Ladyship plays sometimes for an Egg at
Easter.
Neverout. Ay; and a Kiss at Christmas.
Lady Answ. Come, Mr. Neverout; hold your Tongue, and mind your
Knitting.
Neverout. With all my Heart; kiss my Wife, and welcome.
 [The Colonel, Mr. Neverout, Lady Smart and Miss go to Quadrille,
and sit till Three in the Morning.

[They rise from Cards.]

Lady Smart. Well, Miss, you’ll have a sad Husband, you have such
good Luck at Cards.
Neverout. Indeed, Miss, you dealt me sad Cards; if you deal so ill
by your Friends, what will you do with your Enemies?
Lady Answ. I’m sure ’tis time for honest Folks to be a-bed.
Miss. Indeed my Eyes draws Straw.

[She’s almost asleep.

Neverout. Why, Miss, if you fall asleep, somebody may get a Pair
of Gloves.
Col. I’m going to the Land of Nod.
Neverout. Faith, I’m for Bedfordshire.
Lady Smart. I’m sure I shall sleep without rocking.
Neverout. Miss, I hope you’ll dream of your Sweetheart.
Miss. Oh, no doubt of it: I believe I shan’t be able to sleep for
dreaming of him.
Col. [to Miss.] Madam, shall I have the Honour to escort you?
Miss. No, Colonel, I thank you; my Mamma has sent her Chair and
Footmen. Well, my Lady Smart, I’ll give you Revenge whenever you
please.

[Footman comes in.

Footman. Madam, the Chairs are waiting.

[They all take their Chairs, and go off.

FINIS.
 ILLUSTRATIVE NOTES.

Page 5, l. 1. 1695.—This date, and the previous “more than forty

years past,” are of course adjusted to the date of the book’s
appearance. See Introduction for its probable chronology.
Page 5, l. 18. For “because” I am half inclined to read “became”—a
very likely misprint.
Page 6, ll. 4-10. “Twelve ... Sixteen.”—This would bring us to 1723,
which may or may not mark the date of a version of the
“Conversation.” The first “Twelve” would almost exactly coincide with
the “Essay on Conversation” referred to above.
Page 12, l. 18. “Isaac the Dancing-Master.”—Called by Steele in
“Tatler,” No. 34, “my namesake Isaac.” He is best known by Soame
Jenyns’ couplet:—

“And Isaac’s rigadoon shall live as long

As Raphael’s painting or as Virgil’s song.”

He was, as became his profession, a Frenchman. Southey refers to

him in “The Doctor.”
Page 16, l. 6. “Comedies and other fantastick Writings.”—Where
they will be found, as the ingenious Mr. Wagstaff says, “strewed here
and there.”
Pages 16, 17.—“Graham. D. of R. E. of E. Lord and Lady H.”—I do
not know that attempts at identifying these shadowy personages
would be very wise. But the date assigned to the Colonel is one of
the marks of long incubation. “Towards the end” of Charles II.’s reign
would be about 1684. A fine gentleman of that day might very well
have been Mr. Wagstaff’s “companion” had the latter written in 1710
—less well had he written a quarter of a century later.
Page 18, l. 24.—Swift, like a good Tory and Churchman, never
forgave Burnet.
Page 21, l. 2. “Selling of Bargains” is the returning of a coarse
answer to a question or other remark. So in Dorset’s charming poem
about “This Bess of my heart, this Bess of my soul.”
Page 24, l. 26. “Great Ornaments of Style,” or, as it hath been put
otherwise, “a grand set-off to conversation.”—Observe that in these
passages as to Free-Thinking and Oaths, Swift maintains his
invariable attitude as to profanity.
Page 25, last line. “Poet.”—I know him not, if he ever existed save
as a maggot of Swift’s brain.
Page 26, l. 13. “Sir John Perrot.”—Deputy of Ireland and a stout
soldier, but an unlucky politician. He died in the Tower, where he is
not unlikely to have had leisure and reason to perfect himself in
commination.
Page 31, l. 16. “Lilly.”—The Latin grammarian, of course, not the
astrologer.
Page 32, l. 12. “e’n’t” I presume to be identical with ain’t.
Page 36, l. 21. It may seem strange that Mr. Wagstaff, who loves
not books and scholars, should refer to a grave philosopher. But fine
gentlemen in his youth had to know or seem to know their Hobbes.
Page 38, l. 26. “Please.”—sic in orig.
Page 41.—In this page Swift strikes in with his friends against the
“dunces.” One may suspect that Tom Brown was in the first draught,
and perhaps Dennis, Ward and Gildon being added later.
Page 42, l. 6.—Ozell, the translator of Rabelais. Stevens I do not
know or have forgotten, and the “Dunciad” knows him not.
Page 44, l. 26. “The Craftsman.”—This must be one of the latest
additions, the “Craftsman” being the organ of Pulteney and the
