Let us see what shall it be, my lord? a humming double pot of ale, with a roasted crab dancing in it like a wherry above bridge? -or, hum ay, young men are sweet-toothed a quart of burnt sack, with sugar and spice? good against the fogs. Or, what say you to sipping a gill of right distilled waters? Come, we will have them all, and you shall take your choice.

Mexico shows a great liking for sweets; no block is complete without its little stands or peregrinating hawkers of all manner of temptations to the sweet-toothed, ranging from squares of "fudge" in all colors of the rainbow to barber-pole sticks a half-yard long.
