Why, may not that be the skull of a lawyer? Where be his quiddities
now, his quillities, his cases, his tenures, and his tricks? Why
does he suffer this mad knave now to knock him about the sconce
with a dirty shovel, and will not tell him of his action of
battery? Hum! This fellow might be in's time a great buyer of land,
with his statutes, his recognizances, his fines, his double
vouchers, his recoveries: is this the fine of his fines, and the
recovery of his recoveries, to have his fine pate full of fine
dirt? Will his vouchers vouch him no more of his purchases, and
double ones too, than the length and breadth of a pair of
indentures? The very conveyances of his lands will scarcely lie in
this box; and must the inheritor himself have no more, ha?
(Hamlet, 5.1.109-114) |
