Now you talk of dancing, Wine, 'tis one of your qualities, let's pay the Musicians all together: we have often made other men have light heads and heels, there's no hurt a little in tripping for ourselves, what say you? Strike up Piper. Lustily, make a merry day on't; nay, leave out none, at Dancing and at Football, all fellows. Be your leave gentlemen— will't please you be here sir? Who's this Tobaco? Why comes he into our company? I do hear say there is a controversy— among you, and I am come— to moderate the business, It sha'not need, we are concluded sir. Your name is Tobaco I take it. No sir you take it not— deesee, 'tis I that take it. But we take it very ill, you should intrude yourself into our mirth. I did guess, by the chimney your nose that you might stand in need of water, to quench some fire in your kitchen. Hoh? Water. He has spit me out already Sugar tossed and nutmeg. puh. vanish. He has blown away the spice too. Now, do you not know me— what do ye stand at gaze— Tobacco is a drink too. A drink? Wine, you and I come both out of a pipe. Prithee go smoke somewhere else, we are covetous of your acquaintance. Do not incense me, do not inflame Tobacco. We do not fear your puffing sir, and you have any thing to say to us be brief and speak it. Then briefly— and without more circumstance— not to hold you in expectation. Heida, this is prolixity itself. Oh sir his words are not well died in his mouth. Or his understanding is not sufficiently lighted yet give him leave I pray. I do come— Not yet to the purpose methinks. And I do mean— Somewhat— would hear out. And I intend— Yet again, think, think, till tomorrow, we may chance meet again. Stay, I command you stay. How, you command us by whose authority.? That must be disputed. Attend my argument; The sovereign ought to command, I am your sovereign, the sovereign drink Tobaco. Ergo.— I see Tobacco is sophisticated. I ought to command you, and it will become your duty to obey me— You our sovereign a mere whiffler. I say again I am your Prince, bow, and do homage. You have turned over a new leaf Tobacco. You are very high Tobacco, I see ill weeds grow apace. Most high and mighty trinidado. For whose virtue would you be exalted, if it shall please your smoky excellence? Not yours,— nor yours— nor yours— but altogether, all the virtues which you severally glory in, are in me united,— look not so coy, Call water to spread your faction, and you are but like the giddy elements changing and borrowing creatures, whilst I Tobacco am acknowledged a Heavenly quintessence, a divine herb. Tobacco you are out. After what rate is this an ounce? Let us beseech your excellence, for less title we must not give you having so much virtue as you pretend, to let us understand foam of your particular graces and qualities.
