Why, Witmore, thou hast the faculty opposite to that of a witch, and canst lay a tempest. I should as soon have imagined one man could have stopt a cannon-ball in its full force as her tongue. _Money_. Ha, ha, ha! he is the best company in the world, sir, and so full of his similitudes! _Wit_. Luckless, good morrow; I shall see you soon again. |
