Can  Touch  your  oonrage,  and,  ■•  fkr  aa  ny
OiMi  teief  oonnesion  led  me,  honor.
8kmL  Then

I'm  satiafied.
(M,  {iromeaUy,)  Bight  eaaUy,  methlnka.
What  IB  the  ipell  in  hie  asseyeration
Mere  than  in  mine  ?

Stral,  I  merely  aaid  that  /

Waa  latiilLed-- not  that  yon  were  abaoWed.
Qub.  Again  I  Am  I  accused  or  no?

Stral,  Go  to,

You  wax  too  inaolent.    If  drcnmitanee
And  general  suspicion  be  against  you.
Is  the  fault  mine  ?    Is't  not  enough  that  I
IXecline  all  question  of  your  guilt  or  innoeenee  ?

Qah,  My  lord,  my  lord,  this  is  mere  oosenage,
A  Tile  equiTOcation ;  you  well  know
Tour  doubts  are  certainties  to  all  around  you^
Your  looks  a  voice— your  frowns  a  sentence ;  you
Are  pnctising  your  power  on  me— because
You  have  it ;  but  beware !  you  know  not  whom
You  strive  to  tread  on.
etna,  Threafst  thou  ?

Oa6.  l^ot  eo  much

As  you  aeOQse.    You  hint  the  basest  ii^ury,
And  I  retort  it  with  an  open  warning.
Stnd,  As  you  have  said,  'tis  true  I  owe  you  some-
thing.
For  which  you  seem  disposed  to  pay  yourself.
OtA.  Not  with  your  gold.
StroL  With  bootless  iasolenoe.
[To  hU  Attendants  and  Idbmstbtn,
You  need  not  further  to  molest  this  man,
But  let  him  go  his  way.    Ulric,  good  morrow !

[Exii  Stralbnhbix,  Iobhstein,  and  AttendatUi.
Oab,  (foUowinff.)  I'll  after  him  and—

Ubr,  {itqppinff  him,)  Not  a  step.
Oab.  Who  shall

Oppose  me?

Ulr,  Your  own  reason,  with  a  moment's

Thought.
Oab,     Must  I  bear  this  ?

Ulr,  Fshaw !  we  all  must  bear

The  arrogance  of  something  higher  than
OurselTee    the  highest  cannot  temper  Satan,
Nor  the  lowest  his  ricegerents  upon  earth.
