Hush, Gracchus hears, that hath retail'd more lies, Broachèd more slanders, done more villainies, Than Fabius' perpetual golden coat (Which might have _Semper idem_ for a mott) Hath been at feasts, and led the measuring[440] At court, and in each marriage revelling; Writ Palæphatus'[441] comment on those dreams 70 That Hylus takes, 'midst dung-pit reeking steams Of Athos' hot-house. Gramercy, modest smile, Chremes asleep! Paphia, sport the while. Lucia, new set thy ruff; tut, thou art pure, Canst thou not lisp "good brother," look demure?
