BUTLER.
'Tis given in trust to Major Geraldin;
This is a carnival night, and there's a feast
Given at the Cattle—there we shall surprize them,
And hew them down. The Pestalutz, and Lesley,
Have that commission—soon as that is finish'd—

Danger! The devil! What do you think me, General?

DEVEREUX.
Death and hell!
Thou know'st that I'm no milk-sop, General!

Standing before him with the pike, his murderer,
That eye of his looking upon this coat—
Why—why—the devil fetch me! I'm no milk-sop!
