For my part, I have no great stomach to fasting; for alas! it is as easy as pissing a bed, and a trade of which anybody may set up; there needs no tools.

I am much more inclined not to fast for the future; for to do so there is some stock required, and some tools are set a-work.

No matter, since you are so steadfast, and would have us fast, let us fast as fast as we can, and then breakfast in the name of famine.

Now we are come to these esurial idle days.

I vow I had quite put them out of my head long ago.
