"Yes," said the noble sailor, "I will do my duty, and that is to blow up your ship the very first opportunity in my power." This was said with a stern countenance, and a corresponding voice. The captain seemed astonished, and first looking over his larboard shoulder, and then over his starboard shoulder, said to his officers, "this is a damn'd queer fellow! I do not believe he is an Englishman.
No, I am for things possible and Natural: Some Female Devil, old and damn'd to Ugliness, And past all Hopes of Courtship and Address, Full of another Devil called Desire, Has seen this Face this Shape this Youth, And thinks it's worth her Hire.
'Twas I that murder'd her Thou lyest thou durst as well be damn'd as touch her, She was all sacred; and that impious Hand That had profanely touch'd her, Had wither'd from the Body. I lov'd her I ador'd her, and could I, Could I approach her with unhallowed thoughts? No, no, I durst not But as devoutest Pilgrims do the Shrine.
"Ach, gang to hell," he said with brutal callousness. "You're no' hauf a woman like Leebie. She's a tippy wee lass, an' has a way wi' her. She has some spirit, an' is aye snod and nate," and there was a tantalizing smile about his lips that was plainly meant to irritate Mag. "I was guid enough a gey lang while, an' " "Ay, but you've haen a damn'd guid innins," he interrupted.
And so low is he reduced, that he blubbers over the reflection upon his past fondness for her cubs, and upon his present doubts of their being his: 'What a damn'd thing is it, Belford, if Tom and Hal should be the hostler dog's puppies and not mine! Very true! and I think the strong health of the chubby-faced muscular whelps confirms the too great probability. But I say not so to him.
I do disown her, since she is so wicked To bid me kill my Friend. Why, thou'rt my Friend, Alcander. Alcan. I'll forgive thee that. Fal. So will not his Majesty: I may be hang'd for't. Alcan. Thou should'st be damn'd e'er disobey thy Mistress. Fal. These be degrees of Love I am not yet arriv'd at; When I am, I shall be as ready to be damn'd In honour as any Lover of you all. Alcan.
Preserve thy Soul, if thou hast any sense Of future Joys, after this vile damn'd Action. Er. Ah, what have I done? Alcip. That which if I should let thee live, Erminia, Would never suffer thee to look abroad again. Thou'st made thy self and me Oh, I dare not name the Monsters. But I'll destroy them while the Gods look down, And smile upon my Justice. Er. Hold, hold, and hear my Vows of Innocence.

Hum, and has the Devil serv'd me thus? but no matter, I must be gadding, like an old Coxcomb, to Cadiz, and then, jaunting to Sea, with a Pox, to take pains to be a Cuckold, to bring my Wife into a strange Land, amongst Unbelievers, with a vengeance, as if we had not honest Christian Cuckold-makers enough at home; Sot that I was, not to consider how many Merchants have been undone by trusting their Commodities out at Sea; why, what a damn'd ransom will the Rogues exact from me, and more for my Wife, because she's handsome; and then, 'tis ten to one, I have her turned upon my hands the worse for wearing; oh, damn'd Infidels! no, 'tis resolv'd, I'll live a Slave here, rather than enrich them.
