Methinks, said _Didius_, half rising from his chair, in order to remove a bottle and a tall decanter, which stood in a direct line betwixt him and _Yorick_----you might have spared this sarcastic stroke, and have hit upon a more proper place, Mr. _Yorick_--or at least upon a more proper occasion to have shewn your contempt of what we have been about: If the sermon is of no better worth than to light pipes with----'twas certainly, Sir, not good enough to be preached before so learned a body; and if 'twas good enough to be preached before so learned a body----'twas certainly, Sir, too good to light their pipes with afterwards.

'Methinks,' said Didius, half rising from his chair, to remove a bottle which stood betwixt him and Yorick - 'you might have spared this sarcastic stroke, and have hit upon a more proper place, Mr. Yorick, to have shown your contempt of us. If the sermon is of no better worth than to light pipes with - 'twas certainly, Sir, not good enough to be preached before so learned an assembly; and if 'twas good enough to be preached before us, 'twas certainly too good to light pipes with afterwards.'
