No, mistress, 'tis your high-fed, lusty, rambling, ram pant ladies — that are troubled with the vapours : 'tis your ratafia, persico, cinnamon, citron, and spirit of clara, cause such swimming in the brain, that carries many a guinea full tide to the doctor : but you are not to be bred this way : no galloping abroad, no receiving visits at home, for in our loose country the women are as dangerous as the men.
Patch. So I told her, sir, and that it was not decent to be seen in a balcony — ...but she threa- tened to slap my chops, and told me I was her servant, not her governess.
Sir J. Did she so? but I'll make her to know that you are her duenna. Oh, that incompnra- ble custom of Spain ! Why, here's no depending upon old women in my country — for they are as wanton at eighty as a girl of eighteen ; and a man may as safely trust to Asgil's translation, as to his great grandmother's not marrying again.
Isa. Or to the Spanish ladies' veils and duennas for the safeguard of their honour.
