A drunkard clasp his teeth and not undo 'em,
To suffer wet damnation to run through 'em.

O, think upon the pleasure of the palace,
Secured ease and state, the stirring meats Ready to move out of the dishes,
That e'en now quicken when they're eaten!
Banquets abroad by torch light, music, sports,
Bare-headed vassals that had ne'er the fortune To keep on their own hats, but let horns wear 'em!
Nine coaches waiting, hurry, hurry, hurry!

Since, by your greatness, you
Are nearer heaven in place; be nearer it
In goodness: rich men should transcend the poor,
As clouds the earth; rais'd by the comfort of
The sun, to water dry and barren grounds.
Cyril Tourneur
