      In which verses, the poet if I be not deceived, doth covertly and by the way imply a difference betweene liberall drinking of wine, or being somewhat cup-shotten, and drunkennesse indeed: for to sing, to laugh, and to daunce, be ordinarie matters, incident to those who have taken their liquor well, and be heat with wine, but to prate like a foole, and not as the Latine seemeth to reade.
