PORTER
That it did, sir, i' th' very throat on me; but
I requited him for his lie, and, I think, being too strong for him,
though he took up my legs sometime, yet I made a shift to cast
him.

PORTER
It did, sir. It got me right in the throat. But I got even with
drink. I was too strong for it. Although it weakened my legs and
made me unsteady, I managed to vomit it out and laid it flat on the
ground.
