Ithimore
Saist thou me so? have at it; and doe you heare?
Ithimore
Of that condition I wil drink it up; here's to thee.
Ithimore
There, if thou lov'st me doe not leave a drop.
Ithimore
Three and fifty dozen, I'le pledge thee.
Ithimore
Hey Rivo Castiliano, a man's a man.
Ithimore
Ha, to the Jew, and send me mony you were best.
Ithimore
Doe?nothing; but I know what I know.
He's a murderer.
Ithimore
You knew Mathias and the Governors son; he and I kild 'em both, and yet never touch'd 'em.
Ithimore
I carried the broth that poyson'd the Nuns, and he and I, snicle hand too fast, strangled a Fryar.
Ithimore
We two, and 'twas never knowne, nor never shall be for me.
Ithimore
Love me little, love me long, let musicke rumble,
Whilst I in thy incony lap doe tumble.
Ithimore
Wilt drinke French-man, here's to thee with a—pox on this drunken hick-up.
Ithimore
Like thy breath, sweet-hart, no violet like 'em.
Ithimore
Play, Fidler, or I'le cut your cats guts into chitterlins.
Ithimore
Give him a crowne, and fill me out more wine.
Ithimore
Dost not know a Jew, one Barabas?
Ithimore
I scorne the Peasant, tell him so.
Ithimore
Tis a strange thing of that Jew, he lives upon pickled Grashoppers, and sauc'd Mushrumbs.
Ithimore
He never put on cleane shirt since he was circumcis'd.
Ithimore
The Hat he weares, Judas left under the Elder when he hang'd himselfe.
Ithimore
No, I'le send by word of mouth now; Bid him deliver thee a thousand Crownes, by the same token, that the Nuns lov'd Rice, that Fryar Bernardine slept in his owne clothes. Any of 'em will doe it.
Ithimore
The meaning has a meaning; come let's in:
To undoe a Jew is charity, and not sinne.
