And you?—

Fife. A scratch in quiddity, or kind:

But not in ‘quo’—my wounds are all behind.

But, as you say, to stop this strain,

Which, somehow, once one’s in the vein,

Comes clattering after—there again!—

What are we twain—deuce take ’t!—we two,

I mean, to do—drench’d through and through—

Oh, I shall choke of rhymes, which I believe

Are all that we shall have to live on here.
