ACT IV.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

SCENE I. -- King Street, in front of the town-house. KEMPTHORN

in the pillory. MERRY and a crowd of lookers-on.

 

KEMPTHORN (sings).

The world is full of care,

Much like unto a bubble;

Women and care, and care and women,

And women and care and trouble.

 

Good Master Merry, may I say confound?
