Dialogue—Junot and Sir Hew.

    JUNOT—Come, we will fight you once again;
                    Why don't your troops advance?

                    Would ye were aw in France!!

    JUNOT—Send us but home with purse and sword,
                    We'll Lisbon leave to you:

                    No feighting for Sir Hew!!!
