BASTARD.  Here's a stay  That shakes the rotten carcass of old Death  Out of his rags! Here's a large mouth, indeed,  That spits forth death and mountains, rocks and seas;  Talks as familiarly of roaring lions  As maids of thirteen do of puppy-dogs!  What cannoneer begot this lusty blood?  He speaks plain cannon-fire, and smoke and bounce;  He gives the bastinado with his tongue;  Our ears are cudgell'd; not a word of his  But buffets better than a fist of France.  Zounds! I was never so bethump'd with words  Since I first call'd my brother's father dad.

Here's a Stay
