SCENE II.

Rumbo and Blunderbore.

'Sfish! what have we got here?

Blund.
Do you want to know,
You hulking slobber-chops?

Rumb.

Rumb.

In your greasy marrow!

Rumb.

Rumb.
You lie—

Blund.
Sirrah!

Rumb.
Sirrah!

Blund.
Sirrah!

Rumb.
Nay, then I send all gentleness a jogging.
Have at your loggerhead!—

Blund.
Have at your noggin!—
