Rory. Oh, yes! oh yes! hear ye! hear ye, all manner of men—the election is now going to begin forthwith in the big field, and Rory O’Ryan holds the poll for Talbot. Talbot for ever!—huzza!
(Exit Rory, followed by the Boys, who exclaim “Talbot for ever!—huzza!” The Landlord and Farmer join them.)
Lord J. Talbot, I am glad you are what I always thought you—I’m glad you did not write that odious song. I would not lose such a friend for all the songs in the world. Forgive me for my hastiness this morning. I’ve punished myself—I’ve promised to vote for Wheeler.
Talb. Oh, no matter whom you vote for, my lord, if you are still my friend, and if you know me to be yours.
(They shake hands.)
Lord J. I must not say, “Huzza for Talbot!”
(Exeunt.)
