_Men._ Why, then you should discover a brace of unmeriting,[2797] proud, violent, testy magistrates, alias fools, as 40 any in Rome. _Sic._ Menenius, you are known well enough too. _Men._ I am known to be a humorous patrician, and one that loves a cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber[2798] in't; said to be something imperfect in favouring the first[2799][2800] 45 complaint, hasty and tinder-like upon too trivial motion;[2799][2801] one that converses more with the buttock of the night than with the forehead of the morning: what I think I utter, and spend my malice in my breath. Meeting two such wealsmen as you are,--I cannot call you Lycurguses--if the drink[2802] 50 you give me touch my palate adversely, I make a crooked face at it. I can't say your worships have delivered the[2803] matter well, when I find the ass in compound with the major part of your syllables: and though I must be content to bear with those that say you are reverend grave men, yet they[2804] 55 lie deadly that tell you you have good faces. If you see this[2805] in the map of my microcosm, follows it that I am known well enough too? what harm can your bisson conspectuities[2806] glean out of this character, if I be known well enough too? _Bru._ Come, sir, come, we know you well enough. 60 _Men._ You know neither me, yourselves, nor any thing. You are ambitious for poor knaves' caps and legs: you wear out a good wholesome forenoon in hearing a cause between an orange-wife and a fosset-seller, and then rejourn the controversy[2807] of three-pence to a second day of audience. When 65 you are hearing a matter between party and party, if you[2808] chance to be pinched with the colic, you make faces like mummers; set up the bloody flag against all patience; and, in roaring for a chamber-pot, dismiss the controversy bleeding,[2809] the more entangled by your hearing: all the peace you 70 make in their cause is, calling both the parties knaves. You are a pair of strange ones. _Bru._ Come, come, you are well understood to be a perfecter giber for the table than a necessary bencher in the Capitol. 75
