uch a deal of filth in a poet? Cris. O------balmy froth------ Caes. What's that? Cris.------Puffie------inflate------turgidious-------ventosity. Hor. Balmy, froth, puffie, inflate, turgidous, and ventosity are come up. Tib. O terrible windy words. Gal. A sign of a windy brain. Cris. O------oblatrant------furibund------fatuate------strenuous--- Hor. Here's a deal; oblatrant, furibund, fatuate, strenuous. Caes. Now all's come up, I trow. What a tumult he had in his belly? Hor.
