I bestow'd * Dorsers, panniers. T Ch-incomes, the Frencli disease.
62 THE BALL.
A visit on the ladies which you wot of, They have their wits still, and resolve to keep them ; They will not hang themselves for a young lord, Nor grow into consumption; other men Have eyes, and nose, and lips, and handsome legs too ; So fare you well, my lord, I left your kick With your cousin to buy otto. [^ewit.
Lord R. Very well. But hark you, cousin Bostock : you have a mind And modest constitution, I expected ...You would have lifted up your leg.
Bos. To kick him ? Why, an' you would have given a thousand pound, I could not do't for laughing ; beside. He was your friend, my lord.
Lord R. Did you spare him For that consideration ?
Bos. Howsoever, What honour had it been for me to quarrel. Or wit, indeed ? If every man should take All the abuses that are meant, great men Would be laugh'd at ; some fools must have their jests ; Had he been any man of blood or valour. One that profess'd the sword, such as the Colonel, Less provocation would have made me active.
