_Savage_.--I killed none but my enemies. I never killed my own
countrymen. I never killed my friend. Here, take my blanket, and let it
come over in the boat, but see that the murderer does not sit upon it, or
touch it. If he does, I will burn it instantly in the fire I see yonder.
Farewell! I am determined to swim over the water.

_Mercury_.--By this touch of my wand I deprive thee of all thy strength.
Swim now if thou canst.

_Savage_.--This is a potent enchanter. Restore me my strength, and I
promise to obey thee.

_Mercury_.--I restore it: but be orderly, and do as I bid you; otherwise
worse will befall you.

_Duellist_.--Mercury, leave him to me. I'll tutor him for you. Sirrah,
savage, dost thou pretend to be ashamed of my company? Dost thou know I
have kept the best company in England?

_Savage_.--I know thou art a scoundrel! Not pay thy debts! kill thy
friend who lent thee money for asking thee for it! Get out of my sight!
I will drive thee into Styx!

_Mercury_.--Stop! I command thee. No violence! Talk to him calmly.

_Savage_.--I must obey thee. Well, sir, let me know what merit you had
to introduce you into good company? What could you do?

_Duellist_.--Sir, I gamed, as I told you. Besides, I kept a good table.
