Scene IX.

Love for Love

by William Congreve





[To them] JEREMY with BUCKRAM.

VALENTINE
What, is my bad genius here again! Oh no, 'tis
the lawyer with an itching palm; and he's come to be scratched. My
nails are not long enough. Let me have a pair of red-hot tongs
quickly, quickly, and you shall see me act St. Dunstan, and lead the
devil by the nose.

BUCKRAM
O Lord, let me begone: I'll not venture myself with
a madman.
