H o w long hall thou been uv town ? Smith. Faith, not above an hour : Anct if I had not meet you here, I had gone to look you out; for I long to talk with you freely of all the ftrange new tlungs we have heard in the Country. Johnf. And by m y troth, I have long'd as much to laugh with you at all the impertinent, dull, fantaftical things we are tired out with here. Smith. Dull and fantaftical! that's an excellent C o m - pofition. Pray what are our M e n of Bufinefs doing ? Johnf. I ne'er enquire after 'em. Thou knoweft m y Humour lies another way. I love to pleafe myfelf as much, and to trouble others as little as I can ; and therefore do naturally avoid the Company of thoffe folemn Fops, who, being incapable of Reafon, and infenfible of Wit and Pleaiure, are always looking grave, and troubling one another, m hopes to be thought M e n of Bufinefs. Smith. Indeed I have ever obferv'd, that your grave Lookers are the dulleft of Men. A 4 Jvhnf* |
