"There we did n't split a flagon in three parts.... The Tsar of Muscovy drinks me down a quartern of aqua vitae at a gulp, I've seen him do it....I would I were the Bacchus on this cup, with the purple grapes adangle above me.... Wine and women wine and women... good wine needs no bush... good sherris sack"... His voice died into unintelligible mutterings, and his gray unreverend head sank upon the table.
