Here he is, and here I yield him; and I beseech your Grace, let it be book’d with the rest of this day’s deeds; or, by the Lord, I will have it in a particular ballad else, with mine own picture on the top of it, Colevile kissing my foot: to the which course if I be inforc’d, if you do not all shew like gilt twopences to me; and I, in the clear sky of fame, o’er-shine you as much as the full moon doth the cinders of the element, which shew like pins’ heads to her; believe not the word of the Noble. Therefore let me have right, and let desert mount. _Second part, Henry IV. act 4. sc. 6._ I knew, when seven justices could not take up a quarrel, but when the parties were met themselves, one of them thought but of an _if_; as, if you said so, then I said so; and they shook hands, and swore brothers.

Speaking of Discord, “She never went abroad, but she brought home such a bundle of monstrous lies, as would have amazed any mortal, but such as knew her; of a whale that had swallowed a fleet of ships; of the lions being let out of the tower to destroy the Protestant religion; of the Pope’s being seen in a brandy-shop at Wapping,” _&c._ _History of John Bull, part. 1. ch. 16._ The other branch of wit in the thought, _viz._ ludicrous combinations and oppositions, may be traced through various ramifications. And, first, fanciful causes assigned that have no natural relation to the effects produced. _Lancaster._ Fare you well, Falstaff; I, in my condition, Shall better speak of you than you deserve.
