I knew she did not like me; if she had, she wou'd have lain with me; for I wou'd have done so, because I lik'd her: But that's past, and I have her. And now, what shall I do with her--If I put my Horns in my Pocket, she'll grow Insolent.-- If I don't; that Goat there, that Stallion, is ready to whip me through the Guts.--The Debate then is reduc'd to this; Shall I die a Heroe? or live a Rascal?--Why, Wiser Men than I, have long since concluded, that a living Dog is better than a dead Lion.--
[To Const. and Heart.]
Gentlemen, now my Wine and my Passion are governable, I must own, I have never observ'd any thing in my Wife's Course of Life, to back me in my Jealousie of her: but Jealousie's a mark of Love; so she need not trouble her head about it, as long as I make no more words on't.
