A TRAGEDY
87
ACT IV.
SCENE I. A small Gothic hall, or ante-room, in Argyll's Castle, a door at the bottom of the Stage, leading to the apartment of the Earl, before which is discovered the Piper pacing backwards and forwards, playing on his bag-pipe.
Enter Dugald.
DUGALD.
Might do good service by the ears to set
Two angry clans; but for a morning's rouse,
Here at an old man's door, it does, good sooth,
Exceed all reasonable use. The Earl
Has pass'd a sleepless night: I pray thee now
Give o'er, and spare thy pains.
PIPER.
As long as breath within my body is.
