Invincibly good-humour'd still I laugh:

A stout good soldier I, valorous to a fault,

When once my stomach's up and supper served:

You know my humour, not one spark of pride,

Such and the same for ever to my friends:

If cudgell'd, molten iron to the hammer

Is not so malleable; but if I cudgel,

Bold as the thunder: is one to be blinded?

I am the lightning's flash: to be puff'd up?

I am the wind to blow him to the bursting:
