This is beyond suffering: was ever Wine so undervalued? Barbarous detractors, whose beginning came from a dunghill, I defy you. Bacchus, look down, and see me vindicate thine honour, I scorn to procrastinate in this, and this minute you shall give account of your insolences: my spirits high, I am enemy to both. Is Wine drawn? then have at you, I'll make good Ale. I stand for the honour of Beer, were you an army. Hold, hold, hold. How now? what comes Water running hither for? Let my fear ebb a little. What tide brought you hither, Water? The pure stream of my affection: oh how I am troubled! I am not yet recovered. So me thinks you look very thine upon't Water: but why do we not fight? Do not talk of fight, is it not time that Water should come to quench the fire of such contention. I tell you, the care of your preservation made me break my banks to come to you, that you might see the overflowing love I bear you: your quarrel hath echoed unto me; I know your ambition for superiority: you are all my kinsmen, near allied to Water, and though I say it, sometimes not a little beholding to Water, even for your very make. Will you refer yourselves to me, and wade no further in these discontentments, I will undertake your reconcilement and qualification. To thee, Water? wilt thou take upon thee to correct our irregularity? Thou often goest beyond thy bounds thyself. But if they consent, I shall. I am content. And I. Then without further circumlocution or insinuation, Water runs to the matter: you shall no more contend for excellency, for Water shall allow each of you a singularity. First, you Wine, shall be in most request among Courtiers, Gallants, Gentlemen, and Poetical wits, Qui melioris luti homines, being of a refined mould, shall choose as a more nimble and active watering, to make their brains fruitful, Fecundi calices quem non? but so as not confined to them, nor limiting them to you, more than to exhilerate their spirits, and acuate their inventions. You Beer, shall be in most grace with the Citizens, as being a more stayed Liquor, fit for them that purpose retirement and gravity, that with the Snail carries the cares of a house and family with them, tied to the attendance of an illiberal profession, that neither trot nor amble, but have a sure pace of their own, Bos lassus fortius figit pedem, The black Ox has trod upon their foot: yet I bond you not with the City, though it be the common entertainment, you may be in credit with gentlemen's Sellars, and carry reputation before you from March to Christmas— tide I should say; that Water should forget his Tide.

This is beyond ſuffering: was euer Wine ſo vndervalued? Barbarous detractors, whoſe beginning came from a dunghill, I defie you. Bacchus, looke downe, and ſee me vindicate thine honour, I ſcorne to procraſtinate in this, and this minute you ſhall giue account of your inſolencies: my ſpirits high, I am enemy to both. Is Wine drawn? then haue at you, Ile make good Ale. I ſtand for the honor of Beere, were you an army. Hold, hold, hold. How now? what comes Water running hither for? Let my feare ebbe a little. What tide brought you hither, Water? The pure ſtreame of my affection: oh how I am troubled! I am not yet recouered. So me thinkes you looke very thine vpon't Water: but why doe we not fight? Doe not talke of fighting, is it not time that Water ſhould come to quench the fire of ſuch contention. I tell you, the care of your preſeruation made me breake my banks to come to you, that you might ſee the ouerflowing loue I beare you: your quarrell hath ecchoed vnto me; I know your ambition for ſuperioritie: you are all my kinſmen, neere allyed to Water, and though I ſay it, ſometimes not a little beholding to Water, euen for your very makings. Will you referre your ſelues to mee, and wade no further in theſe diſcontentments, I will vndertake your reconcilement and qualification. To thee, Water? wilt thou take vpon thee to correct our irregularitie? Thou often goeſt beyond thy bounds thy ſelfe. But if they conſent, I ſhall. I am content. And I. Then without further circumlocution or inſinuation, Water runnes to the matter: you ſhall no more contend for excellencie, for Water ſhall allow each of you a ſingularitie. Firſt, you Wine, ſhall bee in moſt requeſt among Courtiers, Gallants, Gentlemen, and Poeticall wits, Qui melioris luti homines, being of a refined mould, ſhall chooſe as a more nimble and actiue watering, to make their braines fruitfull, Fecundi calices quem non? but ſo as not confin'd to them, nor limitting them to you, more then to exhilerate their ſpirits, and acuate their inuentions. You Beere, ſhall bee in moſt grace with the Citizens, as being a more ſtayed Liquor, fit for them that purpoſe retirement and grauitie, that with the Snaile carries the cares of a houſe and family with them, tyed to the attendance of an illiberall profeſſion, that neither trot nor amble, but haue a ſure paſe of their owne, Bos laſſus fortius figit pedem, The black Oxe has trod vpon their foot: yet I bound you not with the Citie, though it bee the common entertainement, you may bee in credit with Gentlemens Sellars, and carry reputation before you from March to Chriſtmas—tide I ſhould ſay; that Water ſhould forget his Tide.
