Sir Ant. Why, I ftill fay a true bred Englifh-man is ever out of Humour when he's out of Pocket : He knows no-more how to want Money, than how to borrow ir « Val. And when he does, is as furly in borrowing, as others are in lending Money. Sir Ant. 'Tis almoft as dangerous too, to offer him Money, 2s to lend Money to another Man s For he is as likely out of a want of Senfe, tofufpcft your Courtefie * as a Stranger, out of a want of Honefty, never to return it. Val. That way, indeed, our Countrymen take care, never to think themfelves oblig'd : W e can be ungrateful Sir Ant. And cheat our Benefactors ©f their good Offices, by an Ingratitude, almoft natural to us j and that makes a tolerable amends for our want of the more fub-lim'd Villanies of warmer Countries. Val.

When our furly Friend is Civil enough to be ob-hg d, I have a Twin-Purfe at his Service too Val. You are very much out of his Favour of late Sir AnK So I find: What's the Matter with the Fool ? 1 4- Vol. |
