"Aye, the immortal is a-trippin' it i' the New Jeroosalem: but the mortal was very lamentably took wi' a fit, three days back the same day, young man, as thou earnest wi' thy bloody threats." "A fit?" "Aye, sir, an' verily such a fit as thou thysel' witness'd. 'Twas the third attack an' he cried, 'Oh! he did, an' 'Ah! just like that. 'Oh! an' then 'Ah! Such were his last dyin' speech.
