First to breakfast, then to dine,
Is to conquer Bellarmine:
Distinctions then are budding.
Old Sutcliff's wit[201]
Did never hit,
But after his bag-pudding.
Chorus. Old Sutcliffs wit, &c.
And. Most admirable! A good eating song!
Chris. Let's walk in and practise it; my bowels
Yearn till I'm in charity with all.
And. A christian resolution, good Sir Christopher!

SCENE VI.
Meanwell with a letter in his hand, Hearsay, Slicer.
Meanwell reads.
Sweet sir, I am most passionately yours,
To serve you all the ways I can: Priscilla.
Very well penn'd of a young chambermaid.
I do conceive your meaning, sweet Priscilla.
You see I have the happy fortune on't;
A night for nothing, and entreated, too.
