A Contention for Honor and Riches

About the show

Ingenuity courts Lady Riches while Gettings and Clod quarrel over her and approach a duel; the Courtier and Soldier compete for Lady Honor. Personified figures such as Honesty, No-Pay, Long Vacation, and Foul-Weather-in-Harvest interrupt the conflicts. Lady Riches accepts Gettings while promising Clod the husband’s office in reversion, and Ingenuity and Honor reveal they are married, prompting a general reconciliation.
