JUSTICE CREDULOUS.
You do, do you, hussy? Well, I think I’ll take pretty good care of you. Here, Humphrey, I leave this lady in your care. Now you may walk about the garden, Miss Pert; but Humphrey shall go with you wherever you go. So mind, honest Humphrey, I am obliged to go abroad for a little while; let no one but yourself come near her; don’t be shame-faced, you booby, but keep close to her. And now, miss, let your lieutenant or any of his crew come near you if they can. [Exit.]
LAURETTA.
How this booby stares after him! [Sits down and sings.]
LIEUTENANT O’CONNOR.
Lauretta!
LAURETTA.
Not so free, fellow! [Sings.]
LIEUTENANT O’CONNOR.
Lauretta! look on me.
LAURETTA.
Not so free, fellow!
LIEUTENANT O’CONNOR.
No recollection!
LAURETTA.
Honest Humphrey, be quiet.
LIEUTENANT O’CONNOR.
Have you forgot your faithful soldier?
LAURETTA.
Ah! Oh preserve me!
