Is but a scratch which I have magnified

That I might shun the terrors of thy sword!

Phy. Hands off, thou drunken madman! Set me free.

I never said these things!

Eth.Thou craven cur,

Dost thou then fear to reap before my face

The crop that thou hast sown behind my back?

Thy life shall pay for this!

Phy. (contemptuously).I am not wont

To weigh the words I speak to such as thou.
