Who? JOHN. The man who has anything better to do; And yet so far forgets himself, so far degrades His position as Man, to this worst of all trades, Which even a well-brought-up ape were above, To travel about with a woman in love,-- Unless she's in love with himself. ALFRED. Indeed! why Are you here then, dear Jack? JOHN. Can't you guess it? ALFRED. Not I. JOHN. Because I HAVE nothing that's better to do. I had rather be bored, my dear Alfred, by you, On the whole (I must own), than be bored by myself. |
