Nay since Brutus has spoke the word, the first health shall be imposed on you Valerius, and if ever you have been germanised let it be after the Dutch fashion. The General may command. He may, why else is he called the Commander? We will entreat Valerius. Since you will needs enforce a high-german health, look well to your heads, for I come upon you with this dutch Tassaker, if you were of a more noble science than you are, it will go near to break your heads round. O Morke gyff men eine man, Skerry merry vip, O morke gyff men eine man Skerry merry vap. O morke gyff men eine man, that tik die scine long o drievan can; Skerry merry vip, and skerry merry vap, and skerry merry runke ede bunk. Ede hoore was a hay dedle down Deal drunk a: Skerry merry runk, ede bunk, ede boor was drunk a O daughter yeis ein alto kleene Skerry merry vip, O daughter yeis ein alto kleene, Skerry merry vap, O daughter yeis ein alto kleene, Ye molten slop, ein year a lean Skerry merry vip, and skerry merry vap And skerry merry runk ede bunk Ede hoore was a bay dedle down Dedle drunk a: Skerry merry, runk ede bunke ede hoor was drunk a. Gramercies Valerius, came this high-german health as double as his double double ruff, i'd pledge it. Were it in Lubeckes or double double beer their own natural, liquour i'd pledge it, were it as deep as his ruff, let the health go round about the board as his band goes round about his neck, I am no more afraid of this dutch falchion, than I should be of the heathenish invention. I must entreat you spare me, for my brain brooks not the fumes of wine, their vaporous strength offends me much. I would have none spare me, for i'll spare none, Collatine will pledge no health unless it be to his Lucrece. What's Lucrece but a woman, and what are women? But tortures and disturbance unto men. If they be foul theyare odious, and if fair, theyare like rich vessels full of poisonous drugs, Or like black serpents armed with golden scales, For my own part, they shall not trouble me. Sex sit fast, for I proclaime my selfe a womans chā pion, and shall vnhorse thee else. For my own part, I'm a married man, and I'll speak to my wife to thank thee Brutus. I have a wife too, and I think, the most virtuous Lady in the world. I cannot say but that I have a good wife too, & I love her: but if she were in heaven, beshrew me if I would wish her so much hurt as to desire her company upon earth again yet upon my honour, though she be not very fair, she is exceeding honest. Nay the less beauty the less temptation to despoil her honesty. I should be angry with him that should make question of her honour.
