THE STRIPLING: A TRAGEDY.
153
No! good gold pieces are not to be despised.
Be they gold or copper it is the same to me.
What think you of this angry fool, Bruton?
He has cause to be angry. You have stripped the coat from the back of his poor silly master.
Well; he will go to Paris in his waistcoat. He may find it the fashion there, perhaps, to go so clothed.
And how long will he keep his waistcoat when he gets amongst the worthies of the Palais Royal?
What does that signify? The thick waters of the Seine will make him coat, vest, and winding-sheet, all in one, with no more to do about the matter.
Enter a Man, with papers, &c.
Oh, ho! Mr. Skriever; you are come at last with the deeds.
