Lady T. What words-what love-what duty can repay such obligations?

Lord T. Preserve but this desire to please, your power is endless.

Lady T. Oh! till this moment, never did I know, my lord, I had a heart to give you!

Lord T. By Heaven! this yielding hand, when first it gave you to my wishes, presented not a treasure more desirable!-Oh, Manly! sister! as you have often shared in my disquiet, partake of my felicitymy new-born joy! See here, the bride of my desires! This may be called my wedding-day.

Lady G. Sister, (for now, methinks, that name is dearer to me than ever) let me congratulate the happiness that opens to you.

Manly. Long, long, and mutual, may it flow!

Lord T. To make our happiness complete, my dear, join here with me to give a hand, that amply will repay the obligation.

Lady T. Sister, a day like this

joy.

Lady G. Admits of no excuse against the general [Gives her Hand to MANLY. Manly. A joy, like mine-despairs of words to speak it.

Lord T. Oh, Manly, how the name of friend endears the brother! [Embracing him. Manly. Your words, my lord, will warm me to deserve them.

Lady T. Sister, to your unnerring virtue, I now
commit the guidance of my future days.
Never the paths of pleasure more to tread,
But where your guarded innocence shall lead ;
For, in the marriage state, the world must own,
Divided happiness was never known.

To make it mutual, nature points the way;
Let husbands govern; gentle wives obey. [Exeunt.
