Scene IX.—In the Public Garden.

Di. Twenty-one past—twenty-five coming on;

One-third of life departed, nothing done.

Out of the mammon of unrighteousness

That we make friends, the Scripture is express.

My Spirit, come, we will agree;

Content, you’ll take a moiety.

Sp. A moiety, ye gods, he, he!

Di. Three-quarters then? O griping beast;

Leave me a decimal at least.
