WILLIAM
Lapis.
EVANS
That is a good William. What is he, William, that does lend articles?
WILLIAM
Articles are borrowed of the pronoun, and be [35] thus declined: Singulariter
nominativo hic, hæc, hoc.
EVANS
Nominativo hig, hag, hog. Pray you mark: genitivo huius. Well, what is your
accusative case?
WILLIAM
Accusativo hinc.
EVANS
I pray you have your remembrance, child: accusativo [40] hing, hang, hog.
QUICKLY
‘Hang-hog’ is Latin for bacon, I warrant you.
EVANS
Leave your prabbles, ’oman. − What is the focative case, William?
WILLIAM
O − vocativo, O. [45]
EVANS
Remember, William: focative is caret.
QUICKLY
And that’s a good root.
EVANS
’Oman, forbear.
