English as she is spoke

The commander Forbin of janson, being at a repast with a celebrated Boileau, had undertaken to pun him upon her name:–”What name,” told him, “carry you thither? Boileau: I would wish better to call me Drink wine.” The poet was answered him in the same tune:–”And you, sir, what name have you choice? Janson: I should prefer to be named John-Meal. The meal don’t is valuable better than the furfur?”

    Oh man, I though you were finally getting an education and reading Chaucer! I didn’t realise that there was something wrong until I got to “The meal don’t is valuable better than the furfur?”
    I’m not exactly sure what that means…
