1st Bar. Dig. continues Digging and Sings
Britons rais’d an earthy mound,
When e’re their Chieftains died,
And I am digging under ground,
Where delvers have not tried.
Antiquarius and Discipulus enter.
Ant.—Has this fellow no feeling of his business, he sings at Barrow opening?
Dis.—He knows not that he treads on hallow’d Mould!
Ant.—’Tis e’en so, the hand of Antiquaries only hath the Barrow Sense.
