Disraeli, Benjamin, Earl of Beaconsfield, 1804-1881

"Count Alarcos; a Tragedy"


Nay, the sheep should have his belly full who quarrels with his mate.
IV:1:28 5TH BRAVO.
But how for that ass?
IV:1:29 A FRIAR.
[advancing]

Peace be with ye, brethren! A meal in God's name.
IV:1:30 5TH BRAVO.
Who asks in God's name, asks for two. But how for that ass?
IV:1:31 FLIX.
[bringing the olla]

Nay, an ye must brawl, go fight the Moors. 'Tis a peaceable house,
and we sleep quiet o' nights.
IV:1:32 5TH BRAVO.
Am I an ass?
IV:1:33 FLIX.
He is an ass who talks when he might eat.
IV:1:34 5TH BRAVO.
A Secadon sausage! Come, mother, I'm all peace; thou'rt a rare hand.
As in thy teeth, comrade, and no more on't
IV:1:35 1ST BRAVO.
When I will not, two cannot quarrel.
IV:1:36 OLD MAN.
Everything is changed for the worse.
IV:1:37 FRIAR.
For the love of St. Jago, senors; for the love of St. Jago!
IV:1:38 5TH BRAVO.
When it pleases not God, the saint can do little.
IV:1:39 2ND BRAVO.
Nay, supper for all, and drink's the best meat. Some have sung
for it, some danced. There is no fishing for trout in dry breeches.
You shall preach.
IV:1:40 FRIAR.
Benedicite, brethren --
IV:1:41 1ST BRAVO.
Nay, no Latin, for the devil's not here.
IV:1:42 2ND BRAVO.
And prithee let it be as full of meat as an egg; for we do many
deeds, love not many words.
