Honnyman.

It's no more Murder than to crack a Louse,

That is, if you've the Wit to keep it private.

And as to Haunting, Indians have no Ghosts,

But as they live like Beasts, like Beasts they die.

I've kill'd a Dozen in this self-same Way,

And never yet was troubled with their Spirits.

Orsbourn.

Orsbourn.

Then I'm content; my Scruples are remov'd.

And what I've done, my Conscience justifies.

But we must have these Guns and Hatchets alter'd,

Or they'll detect th' Affair, and hang us both.

Honnyman.

Honnyman.

That's quickly done—Let us with Speed return,

And think no more of being hang'd or haunted;

But turn our Fur to Gold, our Gold to Wine,

Thus gaily spend what we've so slily won,
