can you tell me what are the pump, the sole, solely singular, and the goose? I know it is talking about something bawdy, but please feel free to tell me the plot of shakespeare.
MERCUTIO
30 Sure wit, follow me this jest now till thou hast worn out thy pump, that when the single sole of it is worn, the jest may remain, after the wearing solely singular.
ROMEO
O single-soled jest, solely singular for the singleness.
MERCUTIO
Come between us, good Benvolio. My wits faints.
ROMEO
Switch and spurs, switch and spurs, or I'll cry a match.
MERCUTIO
Nay, if our wits run the wild-goose chase, I am done, for thou hast more of the wild-goose in one of thy wits than, I am sure, I have in my whole five. Was I with you there for the goose?
ROMEO
35 Thou wast never with me for anything when thou wast not there for the goose.
