Viat. Why, farewell Hanson-Toot ! I'll no more on 

 thee : Til go twenty miles about, first : Pub ! I sweat tbat 

 my shirt sticks to my back. 



Pise. Come, Sir, now we are up the hill ; and now how 

 do you? 



Viat. Why, very well, I humbly thank you, Sir, and 

 warm enough, I assure you. What have we here, a 

 church ? As I'm an honest man, a very pretty church !

 rising to son-set. This formidable shrew did Coriale one day undertake to scold 

 with, io her own language ; and succeeded so well in the attempt, that, by

 prophet wot an impostor t and at a city railed Mohan, in the East- Indies, he 

 ia public disputed with a Mahometan, who had railed him Giaur, or infidel, in 

 UMM words : " But I pray thee. teU me, thou Mahometan ! doit thou, in sad-

 teat free, emit me Giaur, but Chat I shall quit you with an answer much to
