First Line: PARACELSUS (ENTERING HURRIEDLY)
Last Line: [EXIT, PURSUED BY A COW.]
Subject(s): OXFORD UNIVERSITY;
PARACELSUS (@3entering hurriedly@1):
I am become a frightful bloody murtherer:
Meeting my grandam in the buttery hatch,
I hackt, forsooth, and hewed her jauntilie,
And cast her reaking fragments on the air.
[@3Exit, pursued by a Cow.@1]
