make good company. Graus, Graus! another flagon.
IV:1:7 2ND BRAVO.
Of the right Catalan.
IV:1:8 3RD BRAVO.
Nay, for my omelette.
IV:1:9 FLIX.
Hungry men think the cook lazy.
[Enter GRAUS with a Flagon of wine.]
IV:1:10 1ST BRAVO.
'Tis mine.
IV:1:11 2ND BRAVO.
No, mine.
IV:1:12 1ST BRAVO.
We'll share.
IV:1:13 2ND BRAVO.
No, each man his own beaker; he who shares has the worst half.
IV:1:14 3RD BRAVO.
[to FLIX, who brings the omelette]
An egg and to bed.
IV:1:15 GRAUS.
Who drinks, first chinks.
IV:1:16 1ST BRAVO.
The debtor is stoned every day. There will be water-work to-morrow,
and that will wash it out. You know me?
IV:1:17 GRAUS.
In a long journey and a small inn, one knows one's company.
IV:1:18 2ND BRAVO.
Come, I'll give, but I won't share. Fill up.
IV:1:19 GRAUS.

IV:1:22 AN OLD MAN.
Burgos is not what it was.
IV:1:23 5TH BRAVO.
[waking]
Sleep ends and supper begins. The olla, the olla, Mother Flix;
[shaking a purse]
there's the dinner bell.
IV:1:24 2ND BRAVO.
That will bring courses.
IV:1:25 1ST BRAVO.
An ass covered with gold has more respect than a horse with a
pack-saddle.
IV:1:26 5TH BRAVO.
How for that ass?
IV:1:27 2ND BRAVO.
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.
