Why, he that's tied here, Crab, my dog. |
|
4 |

5 |
In thy tale. |
|
6 |
Lose the tide, and the voyage, and the master, and

|
|
11 |
No. |
|
12 |
No, neither. |
|

Marry, thus: when it stands well with him, it
|
|
15 |
What a block art thou, that thou canst not! My

|
16 |
Ay, and what I do too: look thee, I'll but lean,
|
|
17 |
Why, stand-under and under-stand is all one. |
|
18 |
Ask my dog: if he say ay, it will! if he say no,
|
|
19 |
Thou shalt never get such a secret from me but by a parable. |
|
20 |
I never knew him otherwise. |

A notable lubber, as thou reportest him to be. |
|
22 |
Why, fool, I meant not thee; I meant thy master. |

|
|
24 |
Because thou hast not so much charity in thee as to
|
|
25 |

|
26 |
Him we go to find: there's not a hair on's head
|
|
27 |
Can nothing speak? Master, shall I strike? |
|
28 |
Nothing. |
|
29 |
Why, sir, I'll strike nothing: I pray you,— |
|
30 |

|
31 |
I am but a fool, look you; and yet I have the wit to
|
|
32 |
With my master's ship? why, it is at sea. |
|
33 |
The blackest news that ever thou heardest. |
|
34 |
Why, as black as ink. |
|
35 |
Fie on thee, jolt-head! thou canst not read. |
|
36 |
I will try thee. Tell me this: who begot thee? |
|
37 |
O illiterate loiterer! it was the son of thy
|
|
38 |
There; and St. Nicholas be thy speed! |
|
39 |
Ay, that she can. |
|
40 |
And thereof comes the proverb: 'Blessing of your
|
|
41 |
That's as much as to say, Can she so? |
|
42 |

|
|
44 |
Then may I set the world on wheels, when she can

Well, that fault may be mended with a breakfast. Read on. |
|
48 |
That makes amends for her sour breath. |
|
49 |
It's no matter for that, so she sleep not in her talk. |
|
50 |
O villain, that set this down among her vices! To

52 |
I care not for that neither, because I love crusts. |
|
53 |
Well, the best is, she hath no teeth to bite. |
|
54 |
If her liquor be good, she shall: if she will not, I
