The Profligate A PLAY In Four Acts
By ARTHUR W. PINERO
“It is a good and soothfast saw; Half-roasted never will be raw; No dough is dried once more to meal, No crock new-shapen by the wheel; You can’t turn curds to milk again, Nor Now, by wishing back to Then; And having tasted stolen honey, You can’t buy innocence for money.”
LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN
First Printed, 1891 New Impressions, 1902, 1909, 1914
All applications respecting amateur performances of this play must be made to Mr. Pinero’s Agents, Samuel French Limited, 26 Southampton Street, Strand, London, W.C.
