And tell me, ye sons of shotten herrings, wasn't it worth more to save him than the dirty silver? for silver we can get again, brave boys: there's more fish in the sea than ever came out of it, and more silver in Nombre de Dios than would pave all the streets in the west country: but of such captains as Franky Drake, Heaven never makes but one at a time; and if we lose him, good-bye to England's luck, say I, and who don't agree, let him choose his weapons, and I'm his man."
Sometimes they are met five hundred Leagues from Land. They live without drinking any fresh Water. They are a pleasant small Bird. They cannot dive, and are easily shotten. They can neither fly, nor go; but get into the Fish-wares, and cannot fly over the Rods, and so are taken.
To speak moderately, I truly confess, it is beyond the ken of my understanding to conceive how those women should have any true grace or valuable virtue, that have so little wit as to disfigure themselves with such exotic garbs, as not only dismantles their native, lovely lustre, but transclouts them into gaunt bar-geese, ill-shapen, shotten shell-fish, Egyptian hieroglyphics, or at the best into French flirts of the pastry, which a proper English woman should scorn with her heels.
Is you gwine to put me out to be snot at? Me done thought thar war 'nuff white folks to get shotten at, widout de poor darkies like me. "'Yes; but you want to be free, do you not, Ham? "'Yeas; Massa Tom, I wants dat I wants it bad; but how is gwine to come? "'Fight for it. You are no better than I am, are you? Had you not as well be shot as for me to be? "'Yeas, sir; dat am so.
You screw up your mouths, and try to put all the shine you can into your eyes, till, from continual effort, they look like those of a shotten herring; and yet you expect all to be like what you are in your ordinary way. After he has begun to paint your hair, you throw it about with your hands in all directions but the right, and all his work is to begin over again.
"Good! surely, provost, ye hae na had an inspection; they're crackit in divers places; they're shotten out wi' infirmity in others. In short, the whole kirk, frae the coping to the fundament, is a fabric smitten wi' a paralytic." "It's very extraordinar, Mr Smeddum," was my reply, "that nobody has seen a' this but yoursel'."
Out of the Bawdy-house? I beleave thee; nay, I am a right Lovell I, I look like a shotten herring now for't. Jone's as good as my lady in the darke wee me. I have no more Roe than a goose in me; but on to the mischiefe, on. Grimes. You beate the Bawd downe with the Chamber dore and bade her keepe that for the Reckoning. Lov. Umh, there was witt in my drinke, I perceive; on. Grimes.

But we lose precious time, since you design me a kind Hour in your Chamber. Har. Oh Traitor! Mop. You'll be sure to keep it from Harlequin. Har. Ah yes, he, hang him, Fool, he takes you for a Saint. Scar. Harlequin! Hang him, shotten Herring. Har. Ay, a Cully, a Noddy. Mop. A meer Zany. Har. Ah, hard-hearted Turk. Mop. Fit for nothing but a Cuckold. Har. Monster of Ingratitude! Mop.
