I Am her Keeper; expect here a while, And I'll prepare her. Exit. Gentle Niece, Misconstrue not my actions, it's my care Of thee, and to satisfy the duty I owe to my dead Brother, thy kind parent: I thus restrain thee, thou art young, and canst not. Being so good thy self, suspect the world Hath any false men in't; I know there are Gallants, that study to undo such Virgins As thou art, that will flatter and betray Thy Fortune's to their riot, this unhappiness I would prevent, and have new found a man, Into whose arms I may deliver up The wealth that I am trusted with. What success? Good Master Yongrave: how do you Like this Gentleman. Do what you please, I relish not your air, Thats only sweet to me that profit brings, There is no music without golden strings. Sir, I must desire You would excuse me, I would go with you, But that I have considered, it'll be better That I should not appear, since you intend To have it private, there will be less notice If I be absent, and it may be thought You by some trick stole her away: D'yee mark? Then, sir, that opinion Will save our credit, and excuse the want Of ceremony, and the fruitless charge, Which is expected at her marriage: Is it not best? You're not wise, Eugenia, go to the Church, and let me Salute you quickly happy bride and bridegroom: Away, I say.

Plot summary
Plot — Changes, or Love in a Maze
Goldsworth’s twin daughters, Chrysolina and Aurelia, are daily courted by numerous suitors, including the foolish knight Simple, whom Mistress Goldsworth favours for his title, and the would-be poet Caperwit. Both girls favour the same suitor, Gerard, but with selfless sisterly affection, each wants the other to have him. Gerard comes under pressure to choose between them, not only from Goldsworth but also from his friend Thornay, who wants to woo whichever one he leaves; but, loving them equally, he cannot decide. Thornay decides to seize the initiative and woos Chrysolina (who consequently thinks him disloyal to Gerard), then misleads Gerard into thinking that she has reciprocated and that he should concentrate on Aurelia. But Chrysolina is offended by Gerard’s sudden neglect, and Aurelia takes it as a sign of his fickleness, and refuses him. She also rejects Simple’s suit, but her attempts to be polite about it to her mother are misconstrued, and Mistress Goldsworth sets about making wedding plans. Sir John Woodhamore keeps his niece Eugenia inside, away from the world and its temptations, while he seeks a husband worthy of her; he has decided on Youngrave. When Youngrave is left alone to woo her, however, she asks him to carry a letter to Thornay, the man she loves. Thornay protests that he isn’t interested: he loves Chrysolina. To get her own back on Gerard, Chrysolina pretends to return Thornay’s love; but she is upset to hear that he has rejected Eugenia, and sends him to make amends. He does so, feeling guilty at the way he has treated her, and her uncle catches them kissing. They pretend that he was only delivering a message from Youngrave, who then arrives to find Woodhamore planning their wedding. The miserly uncle decides it will be a secret marriage: he prefers the scandal of a supposed elopement to the expense of a public celebration; consequently he will not be present. This will enable an appropriate substitution of bridegroom. Admiring Youngrave’s self-sacrificing willingness to put Eugenia’s choice of suitor above his own wishes, Chrysolina falls for him. Despite her hints, Youngrave decides on a life of celibacy. The twins worry that they may end up unmarried. Chrysolina asks Eugenia to use her influence to win Youngrave for her. Thornay explains to Chrysolina why Gerard neglected her; Aurelia visits the melancholy Gerard and apologises for her behaviour. In a separate strand of action, Caperwit is pursued to the Goldsworths’ house by…
