The revelry became fast and furious.

One of the younger gentlemen who was seated near the Bishop snatched the bonnet of that dignitary from his head and placed it upon his own.

He then drained a bumper to his health, and passed the goblet and the cap to his next neighbor.

Both circulated till they reached the Viscount of Ghent, who arose from his seat and respectfully restored the cap to its owner.

Brederode then took a large "cup of silver and gold," filled it to the brim, and drained it to the confusion of Cardinal Granvelle; stigmatizing that departed minister, as he finished, by an epithet of more vigor than decency.
