Ver. Yes, sir, methought the house was all a-fire, as it were.
Sir Dav. Didst thou not see how the devils grinned and gnashed their teeth at me, Vermin?
Ver. Alas, sir, I was afraid one of 'em would have bit off my nose, as he vanished out of the door.
Sir Dav. Lead me away, I'll go to my wife, I'll die by my own dear wife. Run away to the Temple, and call Counsellor, my lawyer; I'll make over my estate presently, I shan't live till noon; I'll give all I have to my wife. Ha, Vermin!
Ver. Truly, sir, she's a very good lady.
Sir Dav. Ah, much, much too good for me, Vermin; thou canst not imagine what she has done for me, man; she would break her heart if I should give any thing away from her, she loves me so dearly. Yet if I do die, thou shalt have all my old shoes.
Ver. I hope to see you live many a fair day yet though.
Sir Dav. Ah, my wife, my poor wife! lead me to my poor wife. [Exeunt.
