       MIRABELL
       Come, sir, will you endeavour to forget yourself--and transform into Sir Rowland?

Nay, I shan't be quite the same Waitwell neither--for now I remember me, I'm married, and can't be my own man again.
       Ay, there's my grief; that's the sad change of life: To lose my title, and yet keep my wife.
