Trap. Has he been writ to?
I Play. Yes, sir, and here's his answer.
Trap. Let both the letters be produced before the audience. Pray, Mr Prompter, who shall we have to act the part?
I Play. Sir, I like the part so well that I have studied it in the hope of some time playing it.
Trap. You are an exceeding pretty young fellow, and I am very glad of the exchange.
Sir H. Halloo, hark forwards: hark, honest Ned, good-morrow to you; how dost, Master Mayor? What, you are driving it about merrily this morning? Come, come, sit down; the squire and I will take a pot with you. Come, Mr Mayor, here's—liberty and property and no excise.
May. Sir Harry, your health.
Sir H. What, won't you pledge me? Won't you drink no excise?
May. I don't love party healths, Sir Harry.
All Ald. No, no; no party healths, no party healths.
