May I never have luck if they're not gold rings, and real gold, and set with pearls as white as a curdled milk, and every one of them worth an eye of one's head! Whoreson baggage, what hair she has! if it's not a wig, I never saw longer or fairer all the days of my life. See how bravely she bears herself and her shape!
I sat down, mechanically, as it appeared to me for a strange swimming dizzy sort of sensation had suddenly overtaken me, accompanied by a whoreson tingling, as Shakespeare hath it, in my ears. I was unable to eat a morsel; but I could have drunk the ocean, had it been claret or vin de grave to both of which I helped myself as largely as good manners would allow, or a little beyond, mayhap.
Ye are welcome to Scotland, ye prick-the-clout loon, he said, thrusting forth a paw; much the colour of a badger's back, and of most portentous dimensions. 'Gil Hobson? Gil whoreson! exclaimed Wandering Willie; 'it's a gentle chap that I judge to be an apprentice wi' auld Joshua Geddes, to the quaker-trade. 'What trade be's that, man? said he of the badger-coloured fist.

And they cursed me and reviled me, while I stood laughing and grinning at them, till at last I asked, "How shall my master slay me when he bought me with this my blemish?" Thereupon his rage redoubled and he struck hand upon hand exclaiming, "By Allah! in my life never saw I a whoreson like this slave; and he saith this is but a half lie! How, then, if he had told me a whole lie?
The moment he said this the governor started to his feet, and seizing the chair he had been sitting on exclaimed, "By all that's good, you ill-bred, boorish Don Bumpkin, if you don't get out of this at once and hide yourself from my sight, I'll lay your head open with this chair. You whoreson rascal, you devil's own painter, and is it at this hour you come to ask me for six hundred ducats!
Art but a scurvy tyrannical servant to let thy poor master from his share of the swag with your whoreson pilgrims, palmers and friars, black, grey, and crutched; for all these are of our brotherhood, and of our art, only masters they, and we but poor apprentices, in guild. For his tongue was an ell and a half.
He went up to the first door and knocked, whereupon a maid came out and said, 'Who art thou? 'Tell thy master, replied he, 'that Noureddin Ali stands at the door and says to him, "Thy slave kisses thy hands and awaits thy bounty." The girl went in and told her master, who cried out at her, saying, 'Go back and tell him that I am not at home. So she returned and said to Noureddin, 'O my lord, my master is from home. With this, he went away, saying to himself, 'Though this fellow be a whoreson knave and deny himself, another may not be so. Then he came to the second door and sent in a like message to the master of the house, who denied himself as the first had done, whereupon Noureddin repeated the following verse: They're gone who, if before their door thou didst arrest thy feet, Would on thy poverty bestow both flesh and roasted meat.
"There, you see," said he of the Grove, hearing Sancho's exclamation, "how you have called this wine whoreson by way of praise." "Well," said Sancho, "I own it, and I grant it is no dishonour to call anyone whoreson when it is to be understood as praise. But tell me, senor, by what you love best, is this Ciudad Real wine?"
