Slubber-Degullion.
A nasty, paltry fellow. A slub is a roll of wool drawn out and only slightly twisted; hence to slubber, to twist loosely, to do things by halves, to perform a work carelessly. Degullion is compounded of the word “gull,” or the Cornish “gullan,” a simpleton.

“Quoth she, ‘Although thou hast deserved,
Base slubber-degullion, to be served
As thou didst vow to deal with me.”
