SIR PETER. Moral to the last drop! SIR OLIVER. Aye and marry her Joseph if you can.--Oil and Vinegar egad:--you'll do very well together. ROWLEY. I believe we have no more occasion for Mr. Snake at Present-- SNAKE. Before I go--I beg Pardon once for all for whatever uneasiness I have been the humble instrument of causing to the Parties present. SIR PETER. Well--well you have made atonement by a good Deed at last-- SNAKE. But I must Request of the Company that it shall never be known-- SIR PETER. Hey!--what the Plague--are you ashamed of having done a right thing once in your life? SNAKE. Ah: Sir--consider I live by the Badness of my Character!-- I have nothing but my Infamy to depend on!--and, if it were once known that I had been betray'd into an honest Action, I should lose every Friend I have in the world. SIR OLIVER. Well--well we'll not traduce you by saying anything to your Praise never fear. [Exit SNAKE.] |
