(To chicot) In your impromptu, sir, how much is memory Of other's wit.? CHICOT Your shaft does not come home to me, My memory is short, so short it irks me sore. Why! I cannot recall where I've seen yoti before, Whether 'twas in a rout of cowards and poltroons In the war, or with chains on your wrists as galloons, (Lattghter) In the king's gaUeys. 82 THE JESTERS V u L c A N o, furiously Dare but say those words again — s o L A N G E , frightened Hold him back, Oliver. VULCANO I'll split your to...ngue in twain For speaking them. CHICOT To us our speech is like his sword To a brave belted knight.
