Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher
Chapter 86
“_Quarl._ How now, Numps! almost tired in your protectorship? overparted, overparted?”
An odd sort of propheticality in this Numps and old Noll!
_Ib._ sc. 6. Knockhum’s speech:—
“He eats with his eyes, as well as his teeth.”
A good motto for the Parson in Hogarth’s _Election Dinner_,—who shows how easily he might be reconciled to the Church of Rome, for he worships what he eats.
