Come, kiss. 530 "Trin. -But that the poor monster's in drink; "An abominable monster !" Cal. I'll shew thee the best springs; I'll pluck thee berries; I'll fish for thee, and get thee wood enough. A plague upon the tyrant that I serve! I'll bear him no more sticks, but follow thee, Thou wond'rous man." Trin. A most ridiculous monster; to make a wonder of a poor drunkard. 543 Cal.
