The Temple Beau

Val. Would I were.–To shew you I distrust not your Friendship, I’ll open my whole Breast to you. I had for almost two Years pursued that other Lady, and after a long Series of Importunity, at last obtain’d her Consent, and To-morrow was the appointed Day. But about a Month since, the Lady whom I told you of in our way from the Park, came hither; that I lik’d her, you’ll easily believe; but by frequent Conversation, the Disease possess’d my whole Mind. My Love for her, and Aversion for my former Mistress, encreased daily.
