Dr. Margrave.
How strangely and how wisely Providence
Directs the course of life! How oft we see
That bitter medicine was kindly given.
Had Isabelle remained your ward, brought up
With Henry here, they might, indeed, have married;
But never would have felt such certainty
Of true, unbribed affection as will be
The blessing and the memory of their life.
Dennis and Michael are heard singing as they enter.
Dennis and Michael (song)
The rogue and the ruffian love darkness and night,
But we will go forth when the morning is bright,
And the joy of the world shall the happiness be
Of Dennis O'Blarney and Michael Magee.
Dennis (seeing the Judge).
Bless your honor's house—the rogues are taken.
Michael.
They've taken Captain Pawlett and another.
Dennis.
