MARINERS.
1st Mar. There was no weather permitting in it. I heard the Admiral say he had his orders to sail for the Adriatic, and the ships at Formiæ were to join him here last night.
Gri. Weather permitting.
1st M. No: no weather permitting. If it had been weather permitting, would they have put out in the teeth of a sou’-wester? that’s what I look at.
2nd M. No sailor would have done it; least of all Regulus.
Gri. Then ’twas Cæsar’s fault not to have said weather permitting.
3rd M. Eight firstrates: the pick of the fleet.
1st M. Nay, seven, mate. The Ulysses is put in for repairs.
SENECIO.
What is it you talk of, fellows?
