No. VI / The Boar's Head Companion
Sir John
Falstaff
Falstaff raises a pewter cup in the warm, crowded Boar's Head Tavern at Eastcheap. The physical orientation of the mug is part of the joke—and part of the company it keeps.
The drinker's side cheerfully justifies the owner's indulgence. The side facing one's companion delivers one of Sir John's less charitable assessments.
So, have a mug with Sir John. Why? Because it's your lucky day.
“If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked.”
