The Tinker Burgomaster Receiving a Deputation 
Abrahams. Your most humble servant, honorable Burgomaster! We have been sent here 
by the council to congratulate you on your election to the office of burgomaster of the city; 
or the council, after considering your merits more than your condition and circumstances, 
has elected you burgomaster. 
Sanderus. The council looks upon it as unjust that so wise a man should be occupied 
with such base affairs and should bury his great talents in the earth. 
Herman Honored colleagues! Convey my respects and gratitude to the iust and up¬ 
right councillors and assure them of my protection. 
The Political Tinker, Act III, Scene 2.
