[_Then he must fight against the snail with his club_. MILES. O Jupiter Lord, dost thou not see and hear, How he feareth the snail, as it were a bear! THERSITES. Well, with my club I have had good luck;Now with my sword have at thee a pluck! [_And he must cast his club away_. I will make thee, ere I go, f...or to duck, And thou were as tall a man as Friar Tuck. I say yet again, thy horns in draw, Or else I will make thee to have wounds raw. Art thou not afeardTo have thy beardPared with my sword? [_Here he must fight then with his sword against the snail, and the snaildraweth her horns in_.
