SCOLD.

Unpack my heart with words,

And fall a cursing, like a very drab,

A scullion!

Fie upon 't! Foh!

_Hamlet, Act ii. Sc. 2_. SHAKESPEARE.

Find all his having and his holding

Reduced to eternal noise and scolding,--

The conjugal petard that tears

Down all portcullises of ears.

_Hudibras_. S. BUTLER.

Abroad too kind, at home 't is steadfast hate,

And one eternal tempest of debate.

_Love of Fame_. DR. E. YOUNG.
