Breakfast in Bed; Or Philosophy Between the Sheets: A Series of Indigestible Discourses (Classic Reprint)

Do you know Hircius and Spungius, servants to Dorothea, in that curious old play by Massinger, the Virgin Martyr f Ihave always looked upon these two fellows as the perfection of scoundrelism. To steal pence off the tray of a blind mans dog is ordinarily esteemed the acme of baseness; but Hircius and Spungius go far beyond this. They take the saintly Yirgin swages, but they are bond-servants to Venus La Venere druffianly and to Bacchus (B acchus who is head warden of Vintners Hall, ale Conner, mayor of all victualling houses; lanceprezade to red noses and invincible A dalantado over the armada of deep-scarleted, rubified, and carbuncled faces).
