A mastif whelp with other ruff-Island-lik Currs fetcht from amongst the Antipedes | ||
Satire 60.
[When Dick for want of druncken mates growes sicke]
When Dick for want of druncken mates growes sicke,Then with himself to worke goes faithfull Dick.
The butt'rie dore t'ymselfe he shutteth close,
That done, then goes the pottstraight waies to's nose:
A health (quoth noble Dick: each Hogshead than,
Must seeming pledge this honest faithfull man.
But straight from kindnes Dick to humors growes,
Throwing about the cupps, the potts, & glasses,
And railes ath' Iunns; calling them druncken Asses.
From this to kindnes hee dus come; and then,
A freshe a drinking Richard fales agen,
Ne're ceasing this same faithfull coyle to keepe,
Tall vnder th' Hogshead he falls fast a sleepe.
