The true-born Irishman : $b or, Irish fine lady : a comedy of two acts
Macklin, Charles
Comedy plays; English drama -- Irish authors
_Mush._ Mr. Diggerty--madam--ladies--
_Omnes._ Ha, ha, ha! away with him--away with him.
_Mush._ Mr. Diggerty, you shall answer for this.
_Omnes._ Away with him--away with him. Ha, ha, ha!
[_He is carried off._
_O’Dogh._ Now, gentlemen and ladies, you may go plunder one another at
cards and dice as fast as you can--and, like the Count, make yourselves
objects for a farce.--If every fine lady and coxcomb in this town were
turned into a farce, faith we should be the merriest people in all
Europe--but ours is over for to-night, and pretty well upon the whole.
Indeed, I think ’tis very fairly ended:
The coxcomb’s punish’d;
The fine Irish lady’s mended.
