SCENE IV.

(a flourish.
Buckramo, Goosino, Bodkinda, Pressboardalio, Yardwandelli, and the rest of their party.
Buck.
Thy train-band lore in martial science asks
The chief command, Goosino—be it thine—
Bodkinda, Pressboardalio, Yardwandelli,
Sons of the needle all, the foes at hand.
Now act like men; or by yon azure heaven—

Goos.
The word of onset?

Buck.
Cabbage, and Saint George.

Goos.
Then, slaughter and black vengeance, fall on gruff;
And damn'd be they that first cry, hold, enough.

(fight off the stage.
 

This line from Cato.

------ Fall on, Macduff;
And damn'd be he that first cries hold, enough.
Macbeth.
