As for the money, and the trick I dream’d of,

Those hopes are flown, and I shall hold it triumph,

So I but ’scape a scouring—Cursed fortune,

To have so delicate a morsel snatch’d

Out of my very jaws!—What shall I do?

What new device? for I must change my plan.

—Nothing so difficult, but may be won

By industry.—Suppose, I try it thus. (Thinking.)

—’Twill never do.—Or thus?—No better still.

But thus I think.—No, no.—Yes, excellent!
