    Mar. Good, now sit downe, and tell me he that knowes
    . Why this same strikt and most obseruant watch,
    . So nightly toyles the su{B}iect of the l{A}nd,
    . And why su{C}h dayly cost {O}f brazen Ca{N}non
    . And (F)o(R)r(A)i(N)e marte, for implements of warre,
    . Why such impresse of ship-writes, whose sore taske
    . Does not diuide the sunday from the weeke:
    . What might be toward that this sweaty march
    . Doth make the night ioynt labourer with the day,
    . Who is't that can informe me? ---------------------------------------------------
    Ham. O the king doth wake to night, & takes his rowse,
    . Keepe wassel, and the swaggering vp-spring reeles,
    . And as he dreames, his draughts of renish downe,
    . The kettle, drumme, and trumpet, thus bray out,
    . The triumphes of his pledge.

    Hor. Is it a custome here?

    Ham. I mary i'st and though I am
    . Natiue here, and to t[H]e m[A]ne[R] bo[R]ne,
    .[I]t i[S] a custome, more honourd in the breach,
    . Then in the obseruance.
