SCENE I.

Galigantus seated at a table, several Grandees and Ladies attending on either hand.
He waves his Wand, and all bow and curtesy to the ground.
1st Gran.
My noble lord—if I may be so bold—

Gal.
No hurry, friend! good places can keep cold.

Clerk enters, with bundles of parchments.
Clerk.
May Heaven preserve your Greatness from the vapours!
For here are such petitions, scrolls, and papers,
To look them o'er no mortal eye is able—

Gal.
Then there's the more—“to lie upon the table.”
