Ber. Alas! I’m hungry, love can’t support itself on air.

Rod. I’m much more hungry; think how much I’ve had to bear.

Ber. Monster! is it for this I left my frugal home in haste,

To fly with you and see this dreadful waste.

Where is our home? where do you mean to go?

Rod. Upon my word, Berlinda, I don’t know;

I think we’ll pic-nic, drink the morning dew,

And eat the berries,—see, I’ve got a few,—

And then we’ll take a quiet stroll to search

For parson, marriage lines, and church,
