PROLOGUE, SPOKEN BY MR

H.
_Mr.H._ Landlord, has the man brought home my boots?
_Landlord_.

Yes, Sir.
_Mr.H._ You have paid him?
_Landlord_.

There is the receipt, Sir, only not quite filled up, no name, only blank--"Blank, Dr.to Zekiel Spanish for one pair of best hessians." Now, Sir, he wishes to know what name he shall put in, who he shall say "Dr." _Mr.H._ Why, Mr.H.to be sure.
_Landlord_.

So I told him, Sir; but Zekiel has some qualms about it.
He says he thinks that Mr.H.only would not stand good in law.
_Mr.H._ Rot his impertinence! Bid him put in Nebuchadnezzar, and not trouble me with his scruples.
_Landlord_.

I shall, Sir.
