Are not these horrible drinkers? Sure God will one day hold the Cup of vengeance to their lips, and bid them drink their fills.

The Proud-man is a great drinker. It is not his belly, but his back, that is the drunkard. He pincheth the poor, racks out the other fine, enhanceth the rent, spends his own means, and what he can finger besides, upon clothes. If his rent-day make even with his Silkman, Mercer, Taylor, he is well. And his white Madam drinks deeper then he. The walls of the City are kept in reparation with easier cost, then a Ladies face, and the appurtenances to her head.

The Ambitious is a deep-drinker: O he hath a dry thirst upon him. He loves the wine of promotion extremely. Put a whole monopoly into the cup, and he will carouse it off. There is a time when other drunkards give over for asleeping-while: this drinker hath never enough.
