In twelfht night act 2 scene 3 shakespeare writes:

“impeticos thy gratillity”

impeticos comes from the italian word: pitocare as john florio explains:
Pitoccáre, to begge vp and downe for broken pieces of meate or scraps. Also to dodge and palter.
Pitócco, an old crafty begger, a micher, a patcht-coat-begger, dodger, a paltrer, a wrangler.
Impeticos is a new burlesque word that shakespeare creates and borrows from the italian pitocare
Begging and pocketing is a distinctive characteristic of the clown feste that seeing how much money sir tobey got from sir andrew feste wanted to do the like, but in the end he received only a paltry sixpence.
