You are raſh and unadviſ’d, what

I will maintain for truth: what you have done
I wiſh you could make good; But
I may fear
You are mark’t out by your own wilfulneſſe,
The ſubject of much woe and ſad misfortune.
Mat.I know not what I am; but did you know
The number, and the weight of my afflictions,
You could not chide me thus without ſome pity.
Har.Indeed I pity you, and now y’are calme,

With me ſir is your buſineſſe?
Mat.As well as he that got him,
Pray Gentlemen keep your countenances. Not know
’Tis like I may have known you heretofore,
But cannot readily collect; perhaps
You are much chang’d byTravel, Time, and Bra-
Since I laſt ſaw you. There he may finde
I partly gueſſe, but will not know him yet.
Good Gentlemen ſay nothing.
