DIALOGUE.

First Shewman.
My masters—here's the lion great,
The pride of all creation;

Second.
And here the dwarf and giant wait,
The wonder of the nation.

Mountebank.
But here's the doctor, lord of fate,
Stands first in reputation.

First Shewman.
He's a quack.

Second.
Drive him back.

Mountebank.
Envious rogues, you fear me.

First Shewman.
Best be civil.

27

Second.
Why? the Devil!

All.
Let the people hear me.

CHORUS.
Now with song and dance rejoice,
All be mirth and gay delight;
Every heart and every voice
Join to greet the festive night.

FINIS.
