handfome too, and rich ? for you that know marts, nnift needs
know, that I (ball never be conflant to fuch an ugly old Sefia.
Merc. As to my Youth and Beauty, you Ihall know more of
that another Time. But, prithee, why art thou fo covetous of
JRiches?.
Phad. Whv ? becaufe Riches will procure every thing elfe
that I can wifh for.
Merc. But what if every thing elfe could be procur'd with-
out Riches : would not that do as well ?

Phad. Why no ; there's a Pleafure^ methinks, in havbg
the Money before one lays it out.
Merc. And yet, 'till it is laid out, it is as ufelefs as fo
much Dirt.
Phad. Aye— that may be— but when my Heart dances to
the chinking of Money, it is not at leifure to think of that.
Merc. But fuppofe, that, without Money, you could procure
all that Money could . buy and more.
Phad. Why, as well as I love Money, I have no Objec-
tion to any good Thing that Money won't buy : but pray
how is it to be had ?

Mercp To be had ? why, upon the eafieft Terms in the
World ; only by a Motion of the Finger, or a Stamp with
the Foot.
Phad. Phoo, that's impoiSble.
