And again:—

Yea every cup is fast to others wedged.

They always double drink, they must be pledged.

He that begins, how many so’er they be,

Looks that each one do drink as much as he.

And further on, to the same effect:—

Oh! how they’ll wind men in, do what they can,

By drinking healths, first unto such a man,

Then unto such a woman! Then they’ll send

An health to each man’s mistresse or his friend;

Then to their kindreds or their parents deare,

They needs must have the other jug of beere;

Then to their captains and commanders stout,

Who for to pledge they think none shall stand out;

Last to the king and queen they’ll have a cruse.

Whom for to pledge they think none dare refuse.[147]
