Drunk? he's a beast and he be drunk, there's no man that is a sober man will be drunk, he's a boy and he be drunk. No, he's a man as thou art. Thus 'tis when a man will not be ruled by his friends, I bade him keep under the lee, but he kept down the weather two bows, I told him he would be taken with a planet, but the wisest of us all may fall. True Hodge. Whope lend me thy hand Dick, I am fallen into a Well, lend me thy hand, I shall be drowned else. Hold fast by the bucket Hodg, A rope on it. I there is a rope on it, but where art thou Hodge? In a Well, I prithee draw up. Come give up thy body, wind up, hoist. I am over head and ears, In all Hodge, in all. How loathsome is this beast man's shape to me? This mould of reason so unreasonable, Sirrah, why dost thou trip him down seeing he's drunk? Because sir I would have drunkards cheap. How mean ye? Why they say, that when any thing hath a fall, it is cheap, and so of drunkards. Go to help him up, but hark who knocks? Sir, here's one of Master Barnsies men with a letter to my old master. Fran. Which of them is it? They call him Nicholas sir. Go call him in. By your leave ho, how now young master how be't? Look ye sirrah, where your fellow lies, he's in a fine taking, is he not? Whope Hodge, were art thou man, where art thou? O in a well. In a well man, nay then thou art deep in understanding, I once today you were almost so sir, Who I, go to young master, I do not like this humour in ye give every man his do, and give him no more: say I was in such a case, go to 'tis the greatest indignation that can be offered to a man: and but a man's more god her given, you were able to make him swear out his hear: blood, what though that honest Hodge have cut his finger heere? or as some say, cut a feather? what though he be mump, misled, blind, or as it were 'tis no consequent to me: you know i have drunk all the Alehouses in Abington dry, and laid the taps on the tables when i had done: 'sblood I'll challenge all the true rob. pots in Europe, to leap up to the chin in a barrel of beer, and if i can not drink it down to my foot ere i leave, and then set the tap in the midst of the house, and then turn a good turn on the toe on it, let me be counted nobody, a pingler, nay let me be bound to drink nothing but small beer seven years after, and I had as.
