LD. TOL.: Though p'r'aps I may incur your blame,
The things are few
I would not do
In Friendship's name!

LD. MOUNT.: And I may say I think the same;
Not even love
Should rank above
True Friendship's name!

PHYLLIS: Then free me, pray; be mine the blame;
Forget your craze
And go your ways
In Friendship's name!
In Friendship's name!

ALL: Oh, many a man, in Friendship's name,
Has yielded fortune, rank, and fame!
But no one yet, in the world so wide,
Has yielded up a promised bride!

WILLIS: Accept, O Friendship, all the same,

ALL: This sacrifice to thy dear name!
Accept this sacrifice to thy dear name!
