Why, but if the speech be foul, 'twere none come nigh it!  But if a fowl be
faire, all may partake of the repast, although past and time for us to sit
together and sup of such wit as can be made of it.  For, whoever heard of a
witty fowl?  
And again, to woo.  But, never shall it be said that wooing be foul, if the
wooer be fair....
