19 Of Marcus his drunken feasting.
When Marcus makes (as oft he doth) a feast,The Wine still costs him more then all the rest.
Were water in this towne as deare as hay,
His horses should not long at liuery stay.
But tell me, is't not a most foolish tricke,
To drinke to others healths till thou be sicke?
Yet such the fashion is of Bacchus crue,
To quaffe and bowze, vntill they belch and spue:
Will proue an eating to thy wit and wealth.
