SHAKSPERE
From King Lear, Act iii, sc. 4, printed 1608.
Child Rowland to the darke tower came.
His word was still, Fy, fo, and fumme!
I smell the bloud of a British man.
1. So 1623: both quartos, darke towne come.
Act iii, sc. 6.
Sleepest or wakest thou, jolly shepheard?
Thy sheepe bee in the corne;
And for one blast of thy minikin mouth
Thy sheepe shall take no harme.
From The Taming of the Shrew, Act iv, sc. 1, printed 1623, I, 221.
It was the friar of orders gray,
As he forth walked on his way.
