I have quite lost Scent of her.--Where has the little Charmer of my Heart conceal'd herself? Odd! 'tis well if that Rogue Carlos hasn't been here, and carry'd her off the Premises.--My Heart flutters within me for Fear of him, like a Bird that's hunted in a Cage.--Ye Gods, and Goddesses, ye murm'ring Streams, ye shady Groves, Brooks, Woods, and Floods, pity poor Tony! I have travers'd the House from Top to Bottom. If she is'nt in this Closet, I'll leave off my fruitless Search.--Perhaps she may be at Prayers: But that's not very likely neither. However, I'll take one Peep to gratify my Curiosity.--

(Takes out his Spectacles and peeps at the Closet-Door)

Odd! there she is, like a good Christian, confessing her Sins to her old, ghostly Father.--How I flame with Love and Religion both at once! Odd! they are very earnest at their Devotions.--'Tis well if the Flesh does not get the better of the Spirit.--She has Charms enough to raise Vigour in a Priest as old as Nestor. I'll peep once again.--Bless us! the Devil has got the upper Hand, as I imagin'd.--Body of me, they kiss, and cling, and Prayer is turn'd to Rapture.--T'other Peep, and then.--Oh! Death and Damnation!--'Tis young Carlos, the strong-back'd, young Dog Carlos, in Masquerade. --Odd! I'll blow the Dog up.--I'll teach him to take the Habit before he's enter'd into Orders, with a Pox to him.--I'll ingratiate myself, however, by this Discovery, in Don Manuel's Favour, and get this Rival of mine lock'd up forever and ever.--Odd! I dar'nt trust 'em tho' any longer together.--I'll knock, I'm resolv'd, and spoil their Sport however.
