    of Prosperpina and Jupiter. Why, here's our fellow Shakespeare
    puts them all down. Aye, and Ben Jonson too. O that B.J. is a
    pestilent fellow, he brought up Horace giving poets a pill, but
    our fellow, Shakespeare, hath given him a purge that made him
    beray his credit.

Act iii. Sc. 1.
