SCENE TAKEN FROM THE NEW HARVARD EDITION OF SHAKSPEARE.

DRAMATIS PERSONAE.

THEO. Homeless, tattered and tanned,

Nay, bid me not resign love.

Oh, naughty, naughty Clawa,

I'll strike you with a feathaw.

How can I bear to leave thee.

JULIA. Tommy, O Tommy, don't go,

The clock in the steeple strikes one.

THEO. What! my grandfather's clock?

(He collapses in an ash-barrel. JULIA falls out of the window.)

DINAH (within). Another note and you die.

THEO. I die, I die;

See that my grave's kept green.

(Cocks crow and the morning sun comes peeping over the hills.)

1 An instrument lately introduced in the Pierian Sodality by a medical student, and murmuring, "Somebody's coming when the dew-drops fall."
