_Idle._ Well then; can me that same! What hast thou learned?
_Idle._ _Ich cannot tell_--thou sayest even very well! For, if thou couldst tell, then had not I well Taught thee thy lesson which must be taught; To tell all, when thou canst tell right naught.
_Idle._ Yea; and, therefore, Shalt have a new coat, by God I swore!
_Idle._ Yea, a new coat, by-and-by. Off with this old coat! _a new coat_, cry!
