DEATH AND THE LAWYER.

317

LAWYER.

Oh, no! we never should agree ;Besides, you said, some other dayYou'd call, when I was in the way.

DEATH.

I own I did—then, be it so,

And when you feel dispos'd to go,

Perhaps you'll kindly let me know:—

As to the cause I had to try

With you—why, let it e'en stand by—

Some other time will do—I'll now,

With your permission, make my bow;

But don't forget me ! if you do,

I'll certainly remember you,

And you shall recollect this warning :^

Good morning to you, Sir—good morning!—

Next time you'll go!— I'll not be flamm'd.

[Exit Death.

LAWYER (solus).

Go ! —if I do go,-------------------------
