ce of bullets? _Clinch. sen._ Oh, by no means in the world, sir. _Sir H._ I'll try the strength of your stomach, however. Sir, you're a dead man. [_Presenting the Pistol to his Breast._ _Clinch. sen._ Consider, dear sir, I am going to the Jubilee: when I come home again, I am a dead man at your service. _Sir H._ Oh, very well, sir; but take heed you are not so choleric for the future. _Clinch. sen._ Choleric, sir! Oons, I design to shoot seven Italians in a week, sir. _Sir H._ Sir, you won't have provocation. _Clinch. sen._ Provocation, sir! Zouns, sir, I'll kill any man for treading upon my corns: and there will be a devilish throng of people there: they say that all the princes of Italy will be there. _Sir H._ And all the fops and fiddlers in Europe----But the use of your swimming girdle, pray sir? _Clinch. sen._ Oh lord, sir, that's easy. Suppose the ship cast away; now, whilst, other foolish people are busy at their prayers, I whip on my swimming girdle, clap a month's provision in my pocket, and sails me away, like an egg in a duck's belly.

Was not that right, Dicky? _Dicky._ Ay, 'faith, sir; but why don't you speak to her? _Clinch. jun._ I beg your pardon, Dicky; I know my distance. Would you have me to speak to a lady at the first sight? _Dicky._ Ay sir, by all means; the first aim is the surest. _Clinch. jun._ Now for a good jest, to make her laugh heartily----By Jupiter Ammon, I'll give her a kiss. [_Goes towards her._ _Enter_ WILDAIR, _interposing_. _Sir H._ 'Tis all to no purpose; I told you so before; your pitiful five guineas will never do. You may go; I'll outbid you. _Clinch. jun._ What the devil! the madman's here again. _Lady D._ Bless me, cousin, what d'ye mean?
