He plays o' the viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and | hath all the good gifts of nature. | 30 | Mar. He hath indeed, almost natural; for besides that he's a fool, he's a great quarreller; and but that he hath the gift of a coward to allay the gust he hath in quarrelling, 'tis thought | among the prudent he would quickly have | 35 | the gift of a grave. Sir To. By this hand, they are scoundrels and substractors that say so of him. Who are they? | Mar. They that add, moreover, he's drunk | 40 | nightly in your company. Sir To. With drinking healths to my niece. I'll drink to her as long as there is a passage in my throat and drink in Illyria. He's a 45 coward and a coystrill that will not drink to my niece till his brains turn o' the toe like a parish-top. What, wench! Castiliano vulgo! for here comes Sir Andrew Agueface.
