that of rogue '

knave of knaves! that inexhaustible wag of a pedlar !that
scampering rip of a wayfaring huckster! With what a
light hand he disposes of momentous considerations. How
sliimminol
Y he relates that ' having in.. flown over many

simple men I yet Nature might have made me as theseare
therefore I'll not disdain l' I am glad thou west not
hanged, my Autolycus !"
