(To The Right Honourable the Lord Cliff, October 7 1634) […] The boonest companions for drinking are the Greeks and Germans: but the Greek is the merrier of the two, for he will sing and dance and kiss his next companion but the other will drink as deep as he; if the Greek will drink as many glasses as there be letters in his Mistresses name, the other will drink the number of his years, and though he be not apt to break out into singing, being not of so airy a constitution, yet he will drink often musically a health to every one of these 6 notes,Ut, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La; which, with his reason, are all comprehended in this Exameter. Ut Relevet Miserum Fatum Solitosque Labores. |
