Sir _Tim_. Courage and Reputation!--ha, ha, ha--why, you lousy
Tatterdemallions--dare ye talk of Courage and Reputation? _Sharp_. Why, Sir, who dares question either? Sir _Tim_. He that dares try it. [Kicks 'em. _Sharp_. Hold, Sir, hold. _Sham_. Enough, enough, we are satisfy'd. Sir _Tim_. So am not I, ye mangy Mungrels, till I have kickt Courage and Reputation out of ye. _Sham_. Hold there, Sir, 'tis enough, we are satisfy'd, that you have Courage. Sir _Tim_. Oh, are you so? then it seems I was not to be believ'd--I told you I had Courage when I was angry. _Sham_. Ay, Sir, we have prov'd it, and will now swear it.--But we had an Inclination to try, Sir. Sir _Tim_. And all you did, was but to try my Courage, hah! _Sharp_. On our Honours, nothing else, Sir _Timothy_. Sir _Tim_. Though I know ye to be cursed cowardly lying Rogues, yet because I have use of ye, I must forgive ye.--Here, kiss my Hand, and be forgiven. |
