Self-conceit

O that you could turn your eyes toward the napes of your necks and make but an interior survey of your good selves! O that you could!

I am known to be a humorous patrician,
and one that loves a cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tiber in't;
said to be something imperfect in favouring the first complaint;
hasty and tinder-like upon too trivial motion;
one that converses more with the buttock of the night than with the forehead of the morning:
what I think I utter, and spend my malice in my breath.
