Truth to one's word has always pass'd
For hard; but you may just as well
Prove it purely impossible,—
If you've an eye for argument.—

Hist!
The Schoolmaster.
What is it?
The Sexton.
Hark
The Schoolmaster.
I hear the organ play!
The Sexton.

The Schoolmaster.
The Pastor?
The Sexton.
Even so.
The Schoolmaster.
Save the mark
But he is out betimes!
The Sexton.

He stirr'd no pillow yesternight.
The Schoolmaster.
What do you say?
