JUDGE (tossing his books and paper about)
All the legal furies seize you!
No proposal seems to please you, I can't sit up here all day, I must shortly get away.

ALL. And a good Judge, too!
JUDGE. Yes, I am a Judge!

ALL. And a great sn.o.b, too!
JUDGE. Though defendant is a sn.o.b,
ALL. And a great sn.o.b, too!
