* * * * * Hang up your juleps, and your Portugal possets, Your barley broths and sorrel soups; they are mangy And breed the scratches only: Give me sack!
The devil now becomes a constant resource for humour. In "The Chances"Antonio has lost his jewels. His servant suggests that the thieves have"taken towards the ports. " _Ant. _ Get me a conjurer, One that can raise a water-devil. I'll port 'em. Play at duck and drake with my money? Take heed, fiddler, I'll dance ye by this hand: your fiddl...estick I'll grease of a new fashion, for presuming To meddle with my de-gambos! get me a conjurer, Inquire me out a man that lets out devils.
Beaumont and Fletcher were great conversationalists, their racy railleryis said to have been as good as their plays. They were members of thecelebrated Mermaid Club in Fleet Street, a centre where the wits of theday sharpened their humour in friendly conflict. In his epistle to BenJonson, Beaumont writes-- "What things have we seen Done at the 'Mermaid!' heard words that have been So nimble and so full of subtle flame, As if that every one from whom they came Had meant to put his whole wit in a jest, And had resolved to live a fool the rest Of his dull life.
