which is further confirmed by the barbarous dialect it introduced into our language ; all the terms of drinking which once abounded with us, are without exception, of a base Nor- thern origin *. But the best account I can find * These barbarous phrases are Dutch, Danish, or German. The term slrinker, a filler of wine, a butler or cup-bearer, according to Phillips ; and in taverns, as appears by our dra- matic poets, a drawer, is Dutch ; or according to Dr. Nott, purely Danish, from Skcnker.

Thus, op-zee, Dutch, means literally over-sea. Mr. Gifford has recently told us in his Jonson, that it was a name given to a stupifying beer introduced into England from the Low-Countries ; hence op-zee or over-sea ; andfreezen in German, signifies to swallow greedily : from this vile alliance they compounded a harsh term, often used in our old plays.
