Cutter of Coleman-street.
Pun.I know the name, Sir, well enough; but I onely try'd my Master's memory, 'Twas the Tartarians.
Wor.I, I, those were the men.
Joll.How, John? why all the world man lies betwixt 'em, they live up in the North.
Pun.The North?
Joll.I the very North, John.
Pun.That's true indeed, but these were another Nation of Tartarians that liv'd in the South, they came antiently from the others.
Joll.How got you from 'em, John, at last?
Pun.Why faith, Sir, by a Ladies means, who, to tell you the truth, fell in love with me; my Master has it all in his Book, 'tis a brave story.
Joll.In what Ship came you back?
Pun.A plague of't, that question will be our ruine.
Wor.What Ship? 'twas call'd a thing that swims, what dee you call't?
Joll.The Mermaid?
Wor.No, no, let me see.
Joll.The Triton?
Wor.No, no, a thing that in the water does——— it swims in the water———
Joll.What is't? the Dolphin?
Wor.No, no, I ha' quite forgot the name on't, but 'tis no matter, it swims———
Joll.What say you, John?
Pun.I, Sir, my Master knows well enough; you cann't conceive the misery we endur'd, Sir.
Joll.Well, Brother, I'l but ask you one question more, where did you leave your Will?
Pun.'Life, now he's pos'd again——— we shall never carry't through.
Wor.I'l tell you presently, Brother— let me see,
Reads in his Scrowl.
Memorandums about my Will; left to my Brother the whole charge of my Estate——— hum— hum— five thousand pounds— hum— What did you ask me, brother?

Joll.In what place you left your Will?

Joll.
