_O'Con_. Right, right; an apothecary should never be out of
spirits. But come, faith, 'tis time honest Humphrey should wait on the justice; that must be our first scheme. _Rosy_. True, true; you should be ready: the clothes are at my house, and I have given you such a character, that he is impatient to have you: he swears you shall be his body-guard. Well, I honour the army, or I should never do so much to serve you. _O'Con_. Indeed I am bound to you for ever, doctor; and when once I'm possessed of my dear Lauretta, I will endeavour to make work for you as fast as possible. _Rosy_. Now you put me in mind of my poor wife again. _O'Con_. Ah, pray forget her a little: we shall be too late. _Rosy_. Poor Dolly! _O'Con_. 'Tis past twelve. _Rosy_. Inhuman dropsy! _O'Con_. The justice will wait. _Rosy_. Cropped in her prime! _O'Con_. For heaven's sake, come! _Rosy_. Well, flesh is grass. |
