Well, then, hark'ye, honest Humphrey,--you are sure now, you will never be a rogue--never take a bribe hey, honest Humphrey? _O'Con_. A bribe! what's that? _Just._ A very ignorant fellow indeed! _Rosy_. His worship hopes you will not part with your honesty for money. _O'Con_. Noa, noa. _Just_. Well said, Humphrey--my chief business with you is to watch the motions of a rake-helly fellow here, one Lieutenant O'Connor. _Rosy_. Ay, you don't value the soldiers, do you, Humphrey? _O'Con_. Not I; they are but zwaggerers, and you'll see they'll be as much afraid of me as they would of their captain. _Just_. And i'faith, Humphrey, you have a pretty cudgel there! |
