The things we do!

[_Exit for Beare_.
_Neigh_. This showes him for a plain and honest man,
That will not flatter with too many wordes;
Some shriltong'd fellowes would have cogd and faind,
Saying, ile draw the best in Christendome.
_Beech_. Hees none of those, but beares an honest minde,
And shames to utter what he cannot prove.
_Enter Merry_.
But here he comes: is that the best you have?
_Mer_. It is the best upon mine honest worde.
_Beech_. Then drinke to us.
_Mer_. I drinke unto you both.
_Nei_. _Beech_. We pledge you both, and thanke you hartelie.
_Beech_. Heres to you sir.
_Neigh_. I thank you.
[_Maister Beech drinkes; drinke Neighbour_.
_Neigh_. Tis good indeed and I had rather drinke
Such beare as this as any _Gascoine_ Wine:
But tis our _English_ manner to affect
Strange things, and price them at a greater rate,
Then home-bred things of better consequence.
_Mer_. Tis true indeede; if all were of your mind,
My poore estate would sooner be advanc'd,
And our French Marchants seeke some other trade.
