And Silks of Civil: And the poorest Snake,
That feeds on Lemons, Pilchers, and near heated His pallet with sweet flesh, will bear a case More fat and gallant than his starved face. Pride, the Inquisition, and this belly evil, Are, in my judgement, Spain's three headed devil. MORE. Indeed it is a plague unto their nation, Who stagger after in blind imitation. HALES. My Lords, with welcome, I present your Lordships A solemn health. MORE. I love health well, but when as healths do bring Pain to the head and bodies sufeiting, Then cease I healths.-- Nay, spill not, friend, for though the drops be small, Yet have they force, to force men to the wall. WOLSEY. Sir Christopher, is that your man? HALES. And like your grace; he is a Scholar and A Lingest, one that hath travelled many parts Of Christendom, my Lord. |
