A cup of Sacke
Now
it is but folly to offer a little Sacke to my Readers, for it is not a
little or small Sack that can hold them; yet for all that they may hold
or contayne a little Sacke, (when they have it.) A roaring Gallant
having
dranke so much Sacke, that his head and his belly were full, and empty
of Ebriety and Sobriety, and his purse and brayne discharg'd of Wit and
Money, was inforced to cast up his Sacke with more haste than he
receiv'd
it, which being done, and his stomacke somewhat eas'd, hee threw the
Pottle-pot
downe the staires, saying, Drawers, you Rogues, bring more Sacke, for
all
this is gone.
Sack was a type of Spanish
white wine, very popular and quite common;
it is is one of the ingredients in A Posset.
