<l><i>Frank</i>. Come, Wench; why here's a business soon dispatch'd.</l>
<l>Thy heart I know is now at ease: thou needst not</l>

<l>Can speak against thy fame: thy childe shall know</l>
<l>Who to call <i>Dad</i> now.</l>
<l><i>Win</i>. You have discharg'd</l>
<l>The true part of an honest man; I cannot</l>
<l>Request a fuller satisfaction</l>

<l>We should not live together.</l>
<l><i>Frank</i>. Had I fail'd</l>
<l>In promise of my t . . .
