[Gargantua and Pantagruel Book III. by Francois Rabelais]@TWC D-Link bookGargantua and Pantagruel Book III. CHAPTER 3 8/11
I have sore felt the experience thereof in mine own particular; for now the lecherous varlets are always wooing me, courting me, and making much of me, which they never did when I was all to pieces. The soul of one in debt is insipid, dry, and heretical altogether. Thirdly, with the cowl and Domino de Grobis, return to Raminagrobis; and in case, being thus qualified, thirty thousand boatsful of devils forthwith come not to carry thee quite away, I shall be content to be at the charge of paying for the pint and faggot.
Now, if for the more security thou wouldst some associate to bear thee company, let not me be the comrade thou searchest for; think not to get a fellow-traveller of me,--nay, do not.
I advise thee for the best.
Get you hence; I will not go thither.
The devil take me if I go.
