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
