peter and wendy (1911) ill. by f d bedford - this man is mine

HOOK: (with curling lip) So, Pan, this is all your doing!

PETER: Ay, Jas Hook, it is all my doing.

HOOK: Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet thy doom.

PETER: Dark and sinister man, have at thee.

J. M. Barrie (1860-1937) Scottish novelist and dramatist [James Matthew Barrie]
Peter Pan, Act 5 (1904, pub. 1928)

In Barrie's novelization, Peter and Wendy, ch. 15 "Hook Or Me This Time" (1911), this is rendered:

“So, Pan,” said Hook at last, “this is all your doing.”
“Ay, James Hook,” came the stern answer, “it is all my doing.”
“Proud and insolent youth,” said Hook, “prepare to meet thy doom.”
“Dark and sinister man,” Peter answered, “have at thee.”
