now too old to be engaged in that undertaking ; I above 40 years , and you above SO : I speak according to the usual measure of the life of man . And though I know there are many depravations there , and am very well satisfied of the truth of several of the

outlandish sauces ; thou art the dapifer to thy palate , or the cup-bearer to thy appetite , the creature of theswallow , or the slave of the wesard . The land hath scarce flesh , the sea fish , or the air fowl curious enough for thy licorous throat ; by thy good-will
