Marrúcinus Asinius! ill thou usest

That hand sinistral in thy wit and wine

Filching the napkins of more heedless hosts.

Dost find this funny? Fool it passeth thee

5

How 'tis a sordid deed, a sorry jest.

Dost misbelieve me? Trust to Pollio,

Thy brother, ready to compound such thefts

E'en at a talent's cost; for he's a youth

In speech past master and in fair pleasantries.
