Macd. What three things does Drinke especially
Macd. prouoke?
Port. Port.
Port. Marry, Sir, Nose‑painting, Sleepe, and Vrine.
Port. Lecherie, Sir, it prouokes, and vnprouokes: it prouokes

Port. sion, equiuocates him in a sleepe, and giuing him the Lye,
Port. leaues him.

Port. That it did, Sir, i'the very Throat on me: but I
Port. requited him for his Lye, and (I thinke) being too strong
