I say little ; but when time shall serve, there shall be smites. 1 dare not Jight^ but I will wink and hold out mine iron. It is a simple one, but what thoogh, t^ will toast cheese, . . • Faith I will live so long as I may, that *8 the certain of it. . . Men may sleep, and they may have their throats about them at the same time ; and, some say, knives have edges.** Nym is in one respect the very opposite of Pistol. Both are imbeciles and cowards, yet the former is a quiet fool, using but few wo...rds ; but he evidently attaches quite as much importance to the few and simple, as Pistol does to the many and boisterous. Nym's character is also admirably sketched in a few words by the boy. •• For Nym," says the boy, " he hath heard that men of few words are the best men ; and therefore he scorns to say his prayers lest 'a should be thought a coward. But his few bad words are matched with as few good deeds ; for 'a never broke any man's head but his own, and that was against a post when he was drunk." PISTOL.
