Has. Do you forgive yourself?
Elv. I never will.
Enter Keeper.
Keep. One of our prisoners, who, in his cell, makes the most pitious moans, has sent to entreat that Mr. Haswell will not leave this place till he has heard his complaints and supplications.
Has. Bring me to him. [Going.
Elv. Nay, leave me not thus—perhaps never to see you more!——
Has. You shall see me again—in the mean time, reflect on what you merit.
[Exit with Keeper.
Elv. And what is that?—Confusion!—and yet, he says, I am to see him again—speak with him.—Oh! there's a blessing to the most abandoned, a divine propensity (they know not why) to commune with the virtuous! [Exit.
