One wonders whether Ben Jonson, for all his satirical intention, had as much observation as much of an eye for contemporary types as Shakespeare's rustics and roysterers prove him to have had.
As if to make up for the silence with which the guests had hitherto listened to Zicci, every tongue was now loosened; every man talked, no man listened. In the serene beauty of the night and scene there was something wild and fearful in the contrast of the hubbub and Babel of these disorderly roysterers.
"'Why, my lord, I would not have these roysterers break upon the Prince's incognito. Pray, sir, this way and you'll be secure'; he points to an inner door. "'I believe we are as safe here, sir, says my Lord Middleton. "'Egad, sir, come away, says Colonel Boyce; and he was in fact dragging the Prince across the room when the door bursts open and in comes a stranger, a little man.
He had no companion but his own thoughts, except when some of the drunken roysterers invaded his room to remind him of the rope that hung over the tree near the well and to drive home the information with kicks of their heavy boots. His thoughts were black and bitter. This, then, was the end. He was to be hung to furnish an occasion of laughter to a horde of drunken brutes.
Unlike Chattelin, who endeavored to satisfy his guests with delicate repasts and light wines, the hosts of the Devil and the King's Head provided the more substantial fare of old England, and laid themselves out to please roysterers who liked pots of ale in the morning, and were wont to drink brandy by the pint as the clocks struck midnight.
I live in a venerable suburb of London, in an old house which in bygone days was a famous resort for merry roysterers and peerless ladies, long since departed.
The little town boasted, a daily paper, and it contained the following: "The community is prepared to overlook an occasional scene of hilarity among the Federal soldiers stationed in this vicinity, but when a gang of roysterers is led by a chaplain, as was the case yesterday, all right-minded people will be indignant.
The three men rose and swaggered, but obeyed the host's orders, and left the room. "I am sorry, young Master, that these roysterers should have affronted you, as my wife tells me that they have. I did not know that they were in the house. We cannot well refuse to take in their horses; but we know well who they are, and, if you are travelling far, you had better ride in company."
A and wished to learn the names of the boys who had created such a scandalous disturbance. Mr. A invited the roysterers to give up their names under penalties of extra school. Hateful necessity! Silence succeeded. A grew irate. The monitor tried to conceal a smile. "Any boy who was making any noise at all stand up." The Caterpillar rose slowly, long and thin, spick and span.
He gave one farewell glance to the dark, silent house the grave of the fairest hopes of all his life. Then he set out upon long, dreary, aimless wandering through the endless, nocturnal streets. Like shadows the shapes of night glided by him. Shy harlots loud roysterers benzin flames more harlots and here and there one lost in thought even as he.
