Brothers + 

Scene⁠—A lawyer’s dreadful den. + 

Enter stall-fed citizen. + 

Lawyer + 

Mornin’. How-de-do? + 

Citizen + 

Sir, same to you. + 

Called as counsel to retain you + 

In a case that I’ll explain you. + 

Sad, so sad! Heart almost broke. + 

Hang it! where’s my kerchief? Smoke? + 

Brother, sir, and I, of late, + 

Came into a large estate. + 

Brother’s⁠—h’m, ha⁠—rather queer + 

Sometimes tapping forehead here. + 

What he needs⁠—you know⁠—a “writ”⁠— + 

Something, eh? that will permit + 

Me to manage, sir, in fine, + 

His estate, as well as mine. + 

Of course he’ll storm; ’twill break, I fear, + 

His loving heart⁠—excuse this tear. + 

Lawyer + 

Have you nothing more? + 

All of this you said before⁠— + 

When last night I took your case. + 

Citizen + 

Why, sir, your face + 

Ne’er before has met my view! + 

Lawyer + 

Eh? The devil! True: + 

My mistake⁠—it was your brother. + 

But you’re very like each other. + 
