Enter, from the brothel, two Gentlemen.

First Gent.

No, nor never shall do in such a place as this, she being once gone.

First Gent.

But to have divinity preached there! did you ever dream of such a thing?

Sec. Gent.

No, no. Come, I am for no more bawdy-houses. Shall’s go hear the vestals sing?

First Gent.

I’ll do any thing now that is virtuous; but I am out of the road of rutting for ever.
