"Why, Jack shall make a fortune, dine on venison, and drink claret. --Ay, but Tom--Tom shall dine with his brother, when his pride will let him; at other times, he shall bless God over a half-pint of ale and a Welsh-rabbit; and both shall go to heaven as they may."

-- Henry MacKenzie, The Man of Feeling, 1771
