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.]
