<p class="hangingindent">MACDUFF: What three things does drink especially provoke?</p>
<p class="hangingindent">PORTER: Marry, sir, nose-painting, sleep, and urine.<br />
Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes;<br />
it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance:<br />
therefore, much drink may be said<br />
to be an equivocator with lechery:<br />
it makes him, and it mars him;<br />
it sets him on, and it takes him off;<br />
it persuades him, and disheartens him;<br />
makes him stand to, and not stand to;<br />
in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep,<br />
and, giving him the lie, leaves him.</p>
