THE WORLD’S TRAGEDY.
AGRIPPA
So I have heard. Last year I flirted
With Isis — but was unconverted.
If this man’s prophet loose my nails
I’ll gibe no more at prophet’s whales.
PUBLIUS
I loathe and despise all kinds of fiction
Whether or no it ease life’s friction.
AGRIPPA
Anoint the next fair lambkin’s fleece
With rock-sand in the stead of grease.
PUBLIUS
He speaks again.
ISSA
Forgive me, brothers !
I knew not what I did.
PUBLIUS
His mother’s
Here; wants the body.
