O here, St. Swithin's, the 15 day, variable weather, for the most part rain, good! for the most part rain: why, it should rain forty days after, now, more or less, it was a rule held, afore I was able to hold a plough, and yet here are two days no rain; ha! it makes me muse.

It's good for nothing but to choke a man, and fill him full of smoke and embers: there were four died out of one house last week with taking of it. and two more the bell went for yesternight ; one of them, they say, will never scape it; he voided a bushel of soot yesterday, upward and downward.

Σελίδα 44 - I must tell you, signior, that, in this last encounter, not having leisure to put off my silver spurs, one of the rowels catch'd hold of the ruffle of my boot, and, being Spanish leather, and subject to tear, overthrows me...

Σελίδα 42 - I'd forswear them all, by the foot of Pharaoh ! There's an oath ! How many water-bearers shall you hear swear such an oath ? O, I have a guest — he teaches me — he does swear the legiblest of any man christened : By St. George ! the foot of Pharaoh ! the body of me ! as I am a gentleman and a soldier!
