DAGGOO (springing). Swallow thine, mannikin! White skin, white liver!

SPANISH SAILOR (meeting him). Knife thee heartily!

Big frame, small spirit!

ALL. A row! A row! A row!

TASHTEGO (with a whiff). A row a’low, and a row aloft — Gods and men — both brawlers! Humph!

BELFAST SAILOR. A row! Arrah a row! The Virgin be blessed, a row! Plunge in with ye!

ENGLISH SAILOR. Fair play! Snatch the Spaniard’s knife! A ring, a ring!

OLD MANX SAILOR. Ready formed. There! The ringed horizon. In that ring Cain struck Abel. Sweet work, right work!

No? Why then, God, mad’st thou the ring?
