_Flint_. Nor ever will be with that old stingy booby. Look here-- take it. [_Gives him a purse_.] _O'Con_. What must I do for this? _Flint_. Mark me, our lieutenant is in love with the old rogue's daughter: help us to break his worship's bones, and carry off the girl, and you are a made man. _O'Con_. I'll see you hanged first, you pack of skurry villains! [_Throws away the purse_.] _Flint_. What, sirrah, do you mutiny? Lay hold of him. _O'Con_. Nay, then, I'll try your armour for you. [_Beats them_.] _All_. Oh! oh!--quarter! quarter! [_Exeunt_ CORPORAL FLINT _and_ SOLDIERS.] _Just_. [_Coming forward_.] Trim them, trounce them, break their bones, honest Humphrey--What a spirit he has! _Rosy_. Aquafortis. _O'Con_. Betray your master! _Rosy_. What a miracle of fidelity! |
