Master, I marvel how the fishes live in the sea. First Fish. Why, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones I can compare our rich misers to nothing so fitly as to a whale; a' plays and tumbles, driving the poor fry before him, and at last devours them all at a mouthful: such whales have I heard on o' the land, who never leave gaping till they've swallowed the whole parish, church, steeple, bells, and all.-Act 2, Sc.
