उत्तर

Some expressions of humour from the extract are as follows:

  1. An ass‘s nole I fixed on his head.
  2. And forth my mimic comes. When they him spy,
    As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye,
  3. Sever themselves, and madly sweep the sky, So, at his sight, away from his fellows fly;
  4. Then will two at once woo one;
    That must need to be sport alone:
    And those things do best please me
    That befall preposterously.
  5. Away, you Ethiope!
  6. Hang off, thou cat, thou burr! vile thing, let loose,
    Or I will shake thee from me like a serpent!
  7. Get you gone, you dwarf;
    You minimus, of hind'ring knot-grass made;
    You bead, you acorn.
  8. Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray:
    My legs are longer though, to run away.
