Then stood again his testy lord upon the shoulder of Muhh—for with the lord goeth power to restore hidden names—saying, Muhh, Muhh, thou hast misst it.  I said, Go over and do that.  And behold, thou hast misst it.  Were I less the lover I am, aulde figg, would I bring the boo & hoo upon thee.  Thinkst thou that the sholder acheth?  (And he grinded down his foot into the shoulder.)  Verily, I have numberd the neurons of the galoxy, and traind them to traffick in pain; yea, I know how to bring the boo-hoo, and the wah-wah know I how to bring.  Yet, being right level, know I too that good godding is about one centum more than chastening; and into this last centum goeth a dose of favor.  And so, I but leave with thee some mere admonishment, and break thy shoulder besides.  Go whither I command, tarrying not to converse with thy belongings, nor asking whether they also wish to go (tho, that cart is no more for us a vexer).  For, after the manner of my play against thy cart—that thing, I say, hath come atween us before, tho ne’ermore—I shall cast them down.
