LAMPITO
A Boeotian lady.

For them to pack immediately
That darling dainty thing ... a good fat eelVide supra, p. 23. I meant of course;
But they refused because some idiotic old decree's in force.
O this strange passion for decrees nothing on earth can check,
Till someone puts a foot out tripping you,
and slipping you
Break your neck.
