Sir Revel
‘S PEAK , gentlemen, what shall we do today?
Drink some brave health upon the Dutch carouse?
Or shall we to the Globe and see a play?
Or visit Shoreditch for a bawdy-house?
Let's call for cards or dice, and have a game:
To sit thus idle is both sin and shame.’
This speaks Sir Revel, furnished out with fashion,
From dish-crowned hat unto the shoes' square toe,
That haunts a whore-house but for recreation,
Plays but at dice to coney-catch or so;
Drinks drunk in kindness, for good fellowship,
Or to the play goes but some purse to nip.
