And Syllabubs made at the Milking-paile,
Although they be many, Beere comes not in any,
But all are composed with a pot of good ale."

- Dioclesian [Prophetess]; brewis (added in 1773 Dict., in vol. 6 of the title above) [BKG Note: None of the plays in the title above appear to be attributed specifically to Beaumont or Fletcher. The Prophetess is now thought to be a collaboration of Fletcher and Messinger, adapted by Betterton as the opera The Prophetess or, the Life of Dioclesian. The Dict. quotation reads "ocean" and the text reads "inundation" in both the play and the opera so the quotation may be from memory.]
