to win the game. Farmer's Son:-- The game, sir, the game, sir! it is not in your power, I'll cut you into inches in less than half-an-hour. My head is made of iron, my heart is made of steel, My sword is a Ferrara that can do its duty weel. Goloshan:-- My body is like rock, sir, my head is like a stone, And I will be Goloshan when you are dead and gone. Enter Wallace:-- Here come I, Sir William Wallace, wight, Who shed his blood for Scotland's right; Without a right, without a reason, Here I draw my bloody weapon. (_Fights with Goloshan--the latter falls._) Farmer's Son:-- Now that young man is dead, sir, and on the ground is laid; And you shall suffer for it, I'm very much afraid. Wallace:-- It was not me that did the deed, nor me that did the crime, 'Twas this young man behind me who drew his sword so fine. Sir Alexander:-- Oh, you artful villain, to lay the blame on me! For my two eyes were shut, sir, when this young man did dee. Wallace:-- How could your eyes be shut, sir, when you were looking on? How could your eyes be shut, sir, when both the swords were drawn? Farmer's Son (to Wallace):-- How can you thus deny the deed? As I stood looking on, You drew your sword from out its sheath, and slashed his body down.

Dr. Brown enters:-- Here come I, old Dr. Brown, the foremost doctor in the town. Wallace:-- What makes you so good, sir? Doctor:-- Why, my travels. Wallace:-- And where have you travelled? Doctor:-- From Hickerty-pickerty-hedgehog, three times round the West Indies, and back to old Scotland. Wallace:-- Is that all? Doctor:-- No sir. I have travelled from fireside to chairside, from chairside to stoolside, from stoolside to tableside, from tableside to bedside, from bedside to press-side, and got many a lump of bread and butter from my mother; and that's the way my belly's so big. Wallace:-- Well, what can you cure? Doctor:-- I can cure the rurvy-scurvy, and the rumble-gumption of a man who has been seven years dead or more, and can make an old woman of sixty look like a girl of sixteen. Wallace:-- How much would you take to cure this dead man? Would
