_Bib_. I had too much of that last night; I was a little disguised, as they say. _Fail_. Why disguised? Hadst thou put on a clean band, or washed thy face lately? Those are thy disguises, Bibber. _Bib_. Well, in short, I was drunk; damnably drunk with ale; great hogan-mogan bloody ale: I was porterly drunk, and that I hate of all things in nature. _Burr, rising_.] And of all things in nature I love it best. _Bib_. Art thou there, i'faith? and why, old boy? _Burr_. Because, when I am porterly drunk, I can carry myself. _Bib_. Ha, ha, boy. _Fail_. This porter brings sad news to you, Will; you must trust him for a suit of clothes, as bad as 'tis: Come, he's an honest fellow, and loves the king. _Bib_. Why, it shall be my suit to him, that I may trust him. _Burr_. I grant your suit, sir. _Fail_. Burr, make haste and dress you; Sir Timorous dines here to-day: you know him? |
