What, you wish to get into my house to gormandise and swill at my expense. Go go!" The caliph laughed heartily at this reply; and then called out to the man, "Indeed we are merchants, and seek but for shelter till the hour of prayer." "Tell me, then," replied the man, "and mind you tell me the truth. Have you eaten and drunk your fill for the night?"
It's mighty lucky for the gang that they swill patent medicines instead of lettin' that Jones up the street give' em a quick finish over the prescription counter. That pill-wrangler couldn't tell the difference between an auger-hole riffle-board and a porous plaster if there wasn't a label on the box.
Whenever an individual has descended so low that he imbibes these things, he has gotten out of our class and has become a common, every-day fiend. No, the neurasthenic is no commonplace fellow. He may undergo a useless operation for appendicitis, but he will not swill down dirty dopes. His office is high-toned and esthetic.
As to the public, indeed, I sometimes feel inclined to say with Ben Jonson in his famous Ode: If they love lees and leave the lusty wine, Envy them not their palates with the swine. But it is a pitiful sight to see unfortunate men who might do better work, condemned to filling the trough with insipid and unsavoury swill collected from the refuse-pails of the town.
He was debating, and he argued like this: Jolyon drinks a glass, perhaps two, he's so careful of himself. James, he can't take his wine nowadays. Nicholas Fanny and he would swill water he shouldn't wonder! Soames didn't count; these young nephews Soames was thirty-one couldn't drink! But Bosinney?
I took him to do my work, not to train him up in religion." Well, suppose the soul of thy servant be thus little worth in thine eyes; yet what wilt thou say for thy children, who behold all thy ways, and are as capable of drinking up the poison of thy footsteps, as the swine is of drinking up swill: I say, what wilt thou do for them?
And is it not even thus they would swill the mind with the pleasures of the body, as hogherds do their swine, while they will not allow it can be gay any longer than it is hoping, experiencing, or remembering something that refers to the body; but will not have it either to receive or seek for any congenial joy or satisfaction from within itself?
But there's no use in advisin' or warnin'; it's like the pigs and the hot swill one will stick in his nose and run away squalin'; the next one will do the same, and the next and the next. They never take warnin's; it's the way of the world!" But nothing dimmed the glory of Pearl's rainbow dream or stilled the happy songs her heart sang day and night.
"Fools that we are to stand like helpless brats when there is liquor enough and to spare in yon cellars. He who is minded to go dry throat to Heaven had best make haste; for me I will e'en swill a bucket to the devil's health, and so to hell." Half-a-dozen men followed him, pushing aside mine host who strove to bar the door.
"Well, that a'n't nothin' to hender. I'll jest fetch out them old boards out of the wood-shed, and knock up a little sty right off, daown by the end o' the shed, and you ken keep your swill that I've hed before, and it'll come handy." "But pigs are so dirty!"
