SIR JO. I am blind.

BLUFF. Death, had any other man interrupted me -

SIR JO. Good Mr. Sharper, speak to him; I dare not look that way.

SHARP. Captain, Sir Joseph's penitent.

BLUFF. Oh, I am calm, sir, calm as a discharged culverin. But
'twas indiscreet, when you know what will provoke me. Nay, come,
Sir Joseph, you know my heat's soon over.

SIR JO. Well, I am a fool sometimes, but I'm sorry.

BLUFF. Enough.

SIR JO. Come, we'll go take a glass to drown animosities. Mr.
Sharper, will you partake?

SHARP. I wait on you, sir. Nay, pray, Captain; you are Sir
Joseph's back.
