CHAPTER 4.XV.
How the ancient custom at nuptials is renewed by the catchpole.
The catchpole, having made shift to get down a swingeing sneaker of Breton wine, said to Basche, Pray, sir, what do you mean?

By St.Joseph's wooden shoe, all good customs are forgot.

We find the form, but the hare is scampered; and the nest, but the birds are flown.

There are no true friends nowadays.

You see how, in several churches, the ancient laudable custom of tippling on account of the blessed saints O O, at Christmas, is come to nothing.
