Than for to cover courtly for a king.
[Re]enter Miles with a message of pottage and broth; and, after him, Bacon.
Miles. Spill, sir? why, doe you thinke I never carried twopeny chop[1444] before in my life?——
By your leave, nobile decus, for here comes Doctor Bacons pecus,[1445]
Being in his full age to carrie a messe of pottage. 221
Bacon. Lordings, admire not if your cheere be this,
For we must keepe our accademicke fare;
No riot where Philosophie doth raine:
And therefore, Henrie, place these potentates, 225
And bid them fall unto their frugall cates.
