Again, in the "Masque of Gypsies:" "He were very carefully carried at his mother's back, rocked in a cradle of Welsh cheese, like a maggot, and there fed with _broken beer_ and blown wine of the best daily." And in Scot's "Belgicke Pismire," 1622, p. 76: "Having before fed themselves full with the sweat of other mens browes, even to gluttonie, drunkenesse, and surfetting, may releeve with their scraps, crummes, bones and _broken beere_, the necessities of such as they or their predecessors have before undone and made beggers."

Pox! who'd be That vile, scorn'd name, that stuffs all court-gate bills? Lieutenant, thou may'st teach me valour yet. SLICER. Teach thee!
