[Footnote 153: Published in 1620, and assigned his patent the same year. He is also heard again of in 1642, when his patent was petitioned against, but unsuccessfully.] [82.] A Proper Gentlewoman went to speak with a rich Mizer that had more Gowt than good manners, at her taking leave hee requested her to tast a Cup of Canara: Shee (contrary to his expectation) tooke him at his word and thanked him. Hee commanded _Jeffrey Starveling_ his man, to wash a glasse, and fill it to the Gentlewoman. Honest _Jeffrey_ fill'd a great glasse about the bignesse of two Taylors thimbles, and gave it to his master, who kist it to save cost, and gave it to the Gentlewoman, saying that it was good Canara of six yeeres old at the least, to whom shee answered (seeing the quantity so small,) Sir, as you requested me, I have tasted your wine, but I wonder that it should be so little, being of such a great age. [61.] There were two notable boon Companions which when they were met were alwayes so indeared to each others Company that very seldom an earlier houre than midnight could part them, but when they were drunk they had two troublesome infirmities, _Jack_ could not goe nor _Will_ could not speak; therefore one night before they fell to drinking, they made Articles of Agreement that when they were drunke _Will_ should carry _Jack_, and _Jack_ should speak for _Will_, and after this agreement to drinking they went pell-mell, untill the one was drunk, and the other lame: So after they had paid the Reckoning, _Will_ takes up _Jack_ a pick-pack and carries him to _Ludgate_, and being very weary sets him down in the dark close by the prison. The Constable and Watch who were within the Gate hearing a bustle, called out, saying, Who goes there? Come before the Constable. _Will_ could goe well enough, but could not speak, so he went over to the Constable, who examined him whence he came, and why he was out so late, and where he lived; to which _Will_ could answer nothing, but make mouths: but _Jack_ having his tongue at liberty, as he was sitting in the blind hole, cryes to the Constable, Sir, he cannot speak. Upon that the Constable asked who was that which spake, and commanded him to come before him; to which _Jack_ made answer, Sir, I can't goe, at which the Constable and Watch laught; _Will_ took up his load again and away they marcht. _To his Quill._ Thou hast been wanton, therefore it is meet, [5.] Thou shouldst do penance--do it in a sheet.
