Scene — The Parlour at the Bull Inn, Birch-wood-corner. 

 Erro and Entomophilus. 



Entomophilus, {adjusting a wreath of Vicia cracca round 

 Erro's head.) There's a purple crown : have we not an arm- 

 chair in the room ? he must not sit on this footy affair : oh ! 

 yes, I'll place it on the table: there's a throne; come, mount 

 up : next to the possession of great genius is the capability of 

 discerning it, and the disposition of honouring it in others. 

 Come, come, mount, and make a speech ; prorogue the par- 

 liament. 



Erro. What! what! what! no, don't be silly, I'm not 

 going to perch myself up there. 



Ent. Ah! that's the way ; talent is always wayward; I'll 

 put the chair clown then. Now, take this water-net in the 

 right hand for a sceptre, and this box in the left, so ; it's a 

 globe, the emblem of universal sovereignty, that's it. There 

 sits the king of entomology ! the friend of the wise, the terror 

 of all pretenders, the abstractor of Straus-Diirckheim, the 

 Delta, the Omega, the Rusticus, the Editor, wit, and critic, 

 of the Entomological Magazine. Oh king ! live for ever ! 



Erro. — 



Ast illos centeni quemque sequuntuf, 

 Purpurei cristia juvenes auroque corusci. 



Ent. Answering the address in Hebrew ; that's all right.
