order of the siege is given, is altogether directed

by an Irishman, a very valiant gentleman, i'

faith.

Flu. It is Captain Macmorris, is it not?

Gow. I think it be.

Flu. By Cheshu, he is an ass, as in the world:

I will verify as much in his beard: he has no

more directions in the true disciplines of the

wars, look you, of the Roman disciplines, than

is a puppy-dog.

Gow. Here a' comes; and the Scots captain,

Captain Jamy, with him.

Flu. Captain Jamy is a marvellous falorous

gentleman, that is certain; and of great expedi-

tion and knowledge in th' aunchient wars, upon

my particular knowledge of his directions: by

Cheshu, he will maintain his argument as well

as any military man in the world, in the disci-

plines of the pristine wars of the Romans.

Jamy. I say gud day, Captain Fluellen.

Flu. God-den to your worship, good Captain

James.

Gow. How now, Captain Macmorris! have

you quit the mines? have the pioners given o'er?

Mac. By Chrish, la! tish ill done: the work

ish give over, the trumpet sound the retreat. By

my hand, I swear, and my father's soul, the

work ish ill done; it ish give over: I would have

blowed up the town, so Chrish save me, la! in an

hour: O! tish ill done, tish ill done; by my

hand, tish ill done!
