Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

KInd
friend
,
I
am
sure
you
can
defend
me
from
being
bitten
with
your
Beares
,
though
not
from
being
back-bitten
by
Envie
;
you
can
stave
me
,
and
save
me
,
from
the
Goring
of
your
Bulls
,
but
there
are
too
many
heards
of
other
Horned
Beasts
to
But
at
my
Inventions
,
and
tosse
my
harmlesse
meaning
,
as
their
empty
Iudgements
,
and
Witlesse
fancies
are
enclin'd
;
howsoever
I
am
resolv'd
to
love
you
,
and
not
to
Respect
them
I
am
glad
that
you
can
say
that
an
excessive
time
of
charge
is
past
with
you
,
and
I
hope
for
better
dayes
and
times
.
I
have
touched
here
and
there
merrily
upon
the
Game
,
but
so
farre
from
offence
,
that
I
doe
expect
that
it
will
be
pleasing
both
to
the
Wise
,
and
to
the
Indifferent
Readers
.
And
mee
thinkes
very
fools
should
not
be
angry
with
it
,
for
I
have
thrust
in
a
great
many
Bables
to
please
them
to
If
any
thing
doe
seeme
distastefull
in
it
,
my
Comfort
is
,
that
a
Wise
man
will
not
set
his
Wit
to
mine
,
and
be
offended
but
if
a
Foole
be
angry
,
then
I
will
not
set
my
Wit
to
his
,
and
take
exceptions
.
And
thus
with
my
best
wishes
to
you
and
yours
,
I
remaine
a
poore
friend
to
you
and
yours

COncerning
Buls
,
sure
no
man
is
so
Dull
,
Orignorant
but
that
he
knowes
a
Bull
:
There
are
more
sorts
of
Bulls
then
Beares
by
ods
,
For
lupiter
,
(
the
chiefe
of
Heathen
gods
)
Into
a
Bull
,
was
pleas'd
himselfe
to
Shape
,
When
on
Europa
he
committed
Rape
:
And
to
a
Bull
,
he
turn'd
his
forme
divine
When
he
(
on

)
got

.
Taurus
(

)

A

If
any

Pasipha
Queene
of
Creet
,
(
a
Royall
Trull
)
Was
monstrously
enamour'd
of
a
Bull
:
'Twixt
whom
the
Monster
Minotaure
was
got
,
As
in
th
eighth
Booke
of
Ovid
it
was
wrot
.
But
sure
the
stories
truth
is
better
fram'd
,
That
sayes
there
was
a
man
there
(
Taurus
nam'd
)
Who
was
beloved
of
the
lustfull
Queene
,
And
had
with
her
too
oft
familiar
beene
.
'T
is
said
Semir
amis
(
King
Ninus
Mother
)
Did
love
a
Bull
,
which
is
as
true
as
'tother
,
When
as
Just
Minos
,
(
Creets
victorious
King
)
The
Megarans
did
to
's
subjection
bring
,
For
which
to
Iove
a
feast
he
solemniz'd
,
Wherein
a
hundred
Buls
were
sacrific'd
.
The
Brazen
Bull
of
Ph●…llaris
the
Tyrant
,
Was
such
a
Beast
,
as
made
the
World
admire
on
't
,
In
which
men
Roasted
,
were
to
death
Tormented
,
And
he
first
suffred
in
't
that
it
Invented
.
There
dwels
a
man
at
Rome
,
that
Buls
can
make
,
To
make
seduced
Kings
,
and
Kingdomes
Quake
,
Which
Buls
(
though
Lead
)
(
O
wondrous
to
behold
Are
quickly
Metamorphos'd
into
Gold.
There
's
the
Philosophers
Admired
Jemme
,
(
That
long
sought
Jewell
,
worth
a
Diademe
)
That
hard
,
hard
stone
,
which
many
men
have
sought
And
all
they
found
,
they
found
themselves
worth
nought
;
The
Castle
Angello
,
doth
it
Immure
And
there
turnes
drossy
Lead
,
to
Gold
most
pure
.
There
are
Bulbeggers
,
which
fright
Children
much
,
There
are
Bull
Taverns
,
that
mens
Wits
will
tutch
;
And
further
(
for
the
Buls
Renowne
and
fame
)
We
had
an
ex'lent
Hangman
of
that
name
.
Suppose
a
man
's
match'd
with
a
beauteous
Wife
,
Who
with
an
ugly
Dwarfe
defiles
her
life
,
To
please
her
husband
,
she
can
fiddle
,
faddle
,
Whilst
oftentimes
a
Monkey
fits
his
Saddle
,
A
man
may
say
,
that
he
most
basely
is
Bull'd
with
an
Vrchin
,
through
his
Wifes
Amisse
.
And
now
of
late
a
Bull
's
a
Common
Creature
,
For
men
(
with
nonsence
)
do
speak
Bull
's
by
Nature
,
From
East
to
West
,
from
North
unto
the
South
,
Bull
's
are
produc'd
each
houre
,
by
Word
of
Mouth
.
Which
every
day
are
brought
unto
the
Printer
,
Faster
then
Mother
Puddings
made
her
Winter
.
To
the
decay
of
many
a
Tallow
Taper
,
And
the
consuming
many
a
Reame
of
Paper
,
Soft
Mault
doth
make
sweet
Fire
,
the
Proverb
sayes
,
Or
else
the
Bull
sayes
so
,
you
see
which
wayes
.
If
men
would
use
to
Leape
before
they
Looke
,
Bulls
should
not
thus
be
thrust
in
many
a
Booke
,
For
though
Care
may
be
Kill'd
with
any
Cat
,
You
are
not
sure
the
Fire
is
in
the
Fat
,
Fooles
faine
(
say
they
)
do
often
make
faire
Words
,
Yet
some
may
Catch
the
Bush
some
beat
the
Birds
.
But
Better
comes
the
seldome
,
I
desire
For
My
Kill
set
the
Peck
of
Mault
on
fire
.
This
any
man
may
to
him selfe
apply
That
When
the
Larks
fall
,
we
may
catch
the
skie
.
But
if
my
Judgement
do
me
not
deceive
I
do
esteeme
it
better
lacke
then
leave
.
Though
Brawne
and
Bacon
breeds
from
Bores
and
Hoggs
,
Yet
hungry
Puddings
Will
eat
dirty
Doggs
.
And
sure
a
man
had
better
bide
away
,
Then
come
to
late
,
A
Faire
after
the
Day
.
If
such
a
one
speed
well
,
it
is
as
rare
,
As
t
is
To
catch
a
Taber
with
a
Hare
.
Which
is
as
certaine
as
blind
Fortunes
Wheele
,
Or
hold
fast
Like
a
wet
Taile
by
the
Eele
.
Let
every
man
a
true
decorum
keepe
,
Because
t
is
ill
,
A
waking
Dogge
to
sleepe
.
And
t
is
a
Proverb
throughout
Christendome
,
That
never
One
day
was
not
built
in
Rome
.
If
great
men
give
me
nothing
,
I
say
plaine
,
I
le
hurle
as
much
as
that
at
them
againe
.
He
that
stickes
downe
a
Goose
,
and
steales
a
Feather
,
Doth
(
by
that
match
)
not
save
,
or
profit
neither
.
Along
Corne
for
short
harvest
men
may
see
,
Like
tedious
woeing
for
a
scornefull
shee
.
T
is
folly
for
a
man
to
fall
at
strife
With
Women
,
who
hath
nine
Cats
like
a
life
;
For
when
the
Gray-Horse
is
the
better
Mare
,
A
Blinde
man
may
be
taken
with
a
Hare
.
Spet
in
your
hold
,
take
better
hands
I
say
,
We
may
be
heere
to
Morrow
,
and
gone
to
day
.
The
man
that
angrie
is
without
amends
,
T
is
fit
(
without
a
canse
he
be
made
friends
:
)
For
though
men
know
their
Cattel
by
their
marks
The
greatest
men
are
not
the
wisest
Clarkes
.
I
purpose
no
mans
credit
to
defame
,
But
He
that
is
balfe
hang'd
,
bath
no
good
name
.
Though
all
these
Rimes
are
scarcely
worth
a
Token
The
Water
to
the
Pott
goes
till
t
is
broken
.
Who
cuts
their
fingers
must
abide
them
bleed
.
And
when
Geese
preach
,
then
let
thr
Fox
take
heede
.
T
is
hard
to
make
me
thinke
,
or
late
,
or
soone
,
That
ever
Greene
Cheese
was
made
of
the
Moone
.
Nor
is
it
fit
(
as
I
doe
understand
)
To
put
a
mad
Sword
in
a
nak'd
mans
hand
.
A
man
may
be
a
Drunkard
or
a
Leacher
,
And
yet
mend
as
the
Bolt
doth
mend
the
Fletcher
.
Or
as
the
sowre
Ale
mends
the
Sommer
,
so
A
man
(
mistooke
)
may
make
his
friend
,
his
foe
.
For
all
this
,
't
is
not
fitting
to
be
book'd
,
How
once
olde
Lincolne
ore
the
Devill
look'd
.
The
Ancient
Proverb
still
doth
stand
in
force
,
Some
better
may
looke
one
then
steale
a
Horse
.
It
may
be
some
will
not
these
lines
allow
,
But
then
they
take
a
wrong
Eare
by
the
Sow
.
T
was
never
yet
a
question
in
the
Law
,
To
stumble
at
a
Blocke
,
leape
ore
a
straw
.
But
any
man
of
simple
wit
may
finde
,
That
all
this
Corne
hath
shaken
downe
no
Winde
.
He
that
will
wrangle
for
an
Egge
that
's
Addle
,
Although
he
lose
the
Horse
,
may
winne
the
Saddle
.
And
thus
my
Muse
,
most
lowly
elevated
,
These
English
Proverbs
hath
to
Bulls
tranflated
.
More
worthy
,
and
Remarkeable
observations
of
the
Bull.
AS
is
before
Repeated
in
my
lines
,
Taurus
(
the
Bull
)
'
mongst
the
Celestial
Signes
;
So
Taurus
is
a
Mountaine
,
whose
high
Top
Doth
seeme
to
scale
the
Skies
,
and
underprop
The
Bull
that
's
stellified
;
That
Hill
doth
Bound
All
Asia
on
the
North
,
about
it
round
Is
many
a
Kingdome
and
large
Continent
,
Which
shewes
the
Bull
is
mighty
in
extent
.
A
Bull
's
a
Beast
of
State
and
Reputation
,
For
he
that
eats
Bull
Beefe
,
(
by
approbation
)
With
eating
such
strong
meate
,
I
do
assure
ye
'T
will
puffe
him
up
,
and
make
him
swell
with
fury
.
If
any
man
will
but
himselfe
examine
,
Hee
le
find
a
Bull
,
a
Buckler
against
famine
,
A
Bull
's
a
happy
Creature
,
whence
proceeds
Most
of
the
food
,
whereon
most
people
feeds
:
He
,
and
his
sweet
hearts
(
most
beloved
Kine
)
Yeelds
thousands
where
with
all
to
suppe
and
dine
.
The
Calves
,
(
his
sonnes
and
daughters
)
plenteously
With
young
and
tender
Veale
,
our
wants
supply
.
And
from
the
Bull'd
Cow
,
(
in
perpetuall
motion
)
Milke
flowes
amongst
us
daily
like
a
Ocean
,
Sweet
Creame
,
and
Cockney
Curds
they
yeeld
each
day
,
And
(
for
the
poor
)
Whig

Buttermilk

Cheese
Raw

,
or
to
Bait
Mouse-traps
,
And

,
to

the
Flemmings
Chaps
,
The
Milk-Pans
do
allow
,
like
bounteous
Pooles
,
Meanes
to
make
Cheese-cakes
,
Custards
,
Flawns
,
and
Fools
,
And
at
the
Milk-pale
,
I
have
seene
and
heard
Good
Sullabubs
,
have
been
both
made
and
mard
.
It
is
the
Bull
's
Conjunction
with
the
Cow
(
With
blest
encrease
)
that
doth
these
things
allow
.
Without
the
Bull
we
should
be
so
unstor'd
,
The
Kingdome
could
not
yeeld
a
Posset
Curd
.
Know
then
by
this
(
good
Reader
)
what
a
Bull
is
,
And
he
that
will
not
know
it
,
but
a
Gull
is
.
The
One
(

For

a
Bull
of

A
stout
,
a
valiant
,
and
a
Head-strong-Beast
,
Which
did
not
fight
this
18
Moneths
at
least
;
A
Beast
of
mighty
pollicy
and
power
,
That
at
his
Dog
foes
will
looke
Grim
,
and
Lower
,
Hee
'le
knit
the
Brow
with
terror
,
in
such
sort
,
That
when
he
chafes
most
,
then
he
makes
most
sport
;
At
push
of
Pike
,
he
with
his
head
will
play
,
And
with
his
feet
spurne
injuries
away
;
Hee
'l
turne
and
wind
as
nimble
as
an
Eele
,
And
kicke
,
and
skornes
abuses
with
his
Heele
;
Hee
'le
fling
and
throw
,
hee
'le
bravely
tosse
&
turn
,
Hee
'le
hurle
and
heave
,
and
dangerously
spurne
,
Note
but
his
valour
,
when
hee
's
at
the
stake
,
How
he
prepares
himselfe
the
Dog
to
take
:
His
f●…eet
fix'd
fast
,
disdaining
once
to
stirre
,
His
wary
eye
upon
the
angry
Cur.
Whilst
politickly
with
his
Head
he
weaves
,
And
with
advantage
up
his
foe
he
heaves
,
With
such
a
force
,
that
often
with
the
fall
Hee
's
dead
,
or
lam'd
,
or
hath
no
power
to
sprawle
.
Thus
hath
our
Bull
fought
in
his
owne
defence
,
And
purchas'd
(
for
his
Master
(
Crowns
and
pence
.
And
for
that
purpose
may
do
so
agen
,
(
I
wish
I
had
the
knowledge
to

For
since
the
time
a
Bull
a
Dog
could
tosse
,
Our
Beare-Garden
had
never
such
a
losse
:
But
le

not

But

Clenches
,
Long
and
short
Tales
.
A
Tale
of
a
Bull
that
was
bought
instead
of
a
Cowe
.
IT
was
well
knowne
to
many
ancient
people
to
this
day
,
that
in
the
Citie
of
Gloucester
,
without
the
South
Gate
,
in
the
Parish
of
Saint
Ewins
,
(
where
my selfe
was
borne
)
there
dwelt
a
Schoolemaster
,
who
was
called
Master
Greene
,
to
whom
I
with
many
more
went
to
Schoole
,
for
some
small
learning
beyond
the
Horn-Booke
;
This
Master
Greene
did
love
new
milke
so
well
,
that
because
he
would
be
sure
to
have
it
new
,
he
would
buy
a
Cowe
of
his
owne
,
and
to
that
purpose
went
to
the
Beast
Market
,
but
by
the
way
having
met
with
some
friends
,
and
a
Cup
or
two
of
Sack
,
it
had
so
wrought
in
the
old
mans
pate
,
that
when
he
came
to
the
Beast-market
,
his
eyes
so
dazled
and
doated
on
a
faire
Bull
,
that
he
suppos'd
his
Cod
to
be
a
goodly
Cowes
Vdder
;
so
he
(
neither
naming
Cowe
or
Bull
)
demanded
the
price
of
the
Beast
,
till
at
the
last
the
Bull
was
bought
and
sold
,
and
driven
home
to
a
stable
of
Master
Greenes
,
who
being
glad
of
his
good
bargaine
,
told
his
wife
of
it
;
and
when
the
Evening
milking
time
was
come
,
Master
Greene
,
with
his
Wife
and
Maid
,
went
to
the
Stable
,
where
the
Wench
kneeling
downe
to
milke
,
and
taking
the
Bull
by
the
Cod
,
shee
said
shee
could
find
ne're
a
Teate
,
whereat
the
man
and
woman
were
amaz'd
;
and
the
Bull
(
for
his
owne
ease
)
instead
of
milke
,
pist
in
the
Paile
,
for
the
which
Master
Greene
was
ever
mockt
and
flouted
,
and
my selfe
(
with
my
Fellow
Schollers
)
to
shew
our
acute
forwardnesse
in
Rime
,
and
out
of
the
thallownesse
of
our
deepe
judgements
,
composed
this
poeticall
Enco
nium
.
Our
Master
Greene
,
was
overseene
,
In
buying
of
a
Bull
;
For
when
the
Maid
,
did
meane
to
milke
,
He
pist
the
Paile
halfe
full
-
probatum
.
Our
Schoolemaster
did
take
these
Verses
so
kindly
,
that
having
found
out
the
grave
Authors
of
them
;
he
(
to
expresse
,
or
declare
his
love
to
Poetry
)
gave
us
such
speedy
,
present
,
and
yet
backward
sure
payment
,
that
we
danc'd
at
it
,
and
were
so
merry
,
that
our
cheekes
ran
downe
with
water
.
Another
Tale
of
a
Towne
Bull.
A
Parson
of
a
Countrey
Village
(
for
the
encrease
of
Towne
Calves
)
kept
a
lusty
Bull
,
which
serv'd
for
the
use
of
the
whole
Parish
;
which
Bull
,
was
fallen
so
poor
and
leane
,
that
his
bones
might
have
been
almost
told
as
they
were
ready
to
start
out
of
his
skin
,
and
the
cold
Winter
being
come
,
the
miserable
Parson
put
the
Bull
to
graze
on
the
bare
ground
in
in
the
Churchyard
,
(
for
there
was
little
or
no
Grasse
)
and
there
was
also
a
Horse
of
the
Parsons
as
leane
as
the
Bull
,
which
fed
(
or
fasted
)
in
the
said
Churchyard
.
These
poore
Beasts
being
almost
starved
with
hunger
and
cold
,
and
the
hardnesse
of
their
Masters
heart
,
it
fortuned
that
in
a
very
darkenight
,
there
arose
a
very
violent
Tempest
of
wind
and
raine
,
so
that
the
Bull
for
succour
and
shelter
from
the
weather
,
went
into
the
Church
porch
,
and
there
lay
downe
and
dyed
with
cold
and
famine
.
The
Horse
likewise
(
having
the
like
purpose
to
get
out
of
the
storme
)
went
to
the
Church-porch
,
and
by
reason
it
was
so
darke
,
he
stumbled
over
the
dead
Bull
,
and
ran
his
head
against
the
Church
doore
,
which
was
so
old
and
broken
that
with
the
force
of
the
Horses
fall
,
it
flew
open
and
let
the
Horse
into
the
Church
,
who
recovering
his
legs
,
and
walking
up
and
downe
,
musing
where
he
was
,
at
the
last
he
came
to
the
Bell
Ropes
,
which
the
Countrey
people
that
used
to
Ring
,
had
(
for
the
ease
of
their
hands
)
made
wispes
,
or
wads
of
Hay
fast
round
about
the
hand-fasts
or
handles
of
the
Ropes
;
the
which
Hay
,
the
Horse
smelling
out
,
he
being
hungry
,
laid
lippes
to
,
and
pull'd
so
hard
at
the
Hay
,
that
the
Rope
gave
warning
to
the
Bell
,
and
the
Bell
to
the
Clapper
,
that
it
Rang
now
and
then
a
stroake
or
twain
,
which
the
Parson
hearing
,
he
marvelled
much
what
the
matter
should
be
,
or
who
should
jangle
the
Bels
so
confusedly
at
that
time
of
the
night
,
in
the
meane
space
the
Horse
goes
from
Rope
to
Rope
,
(
as
he
could
find
them
in
the
darke
)
which
caused
every
Bell
to
toll
in
an
untuned
Diapason
:
At
last
the
Parson
arose
,
and
called
up
the
Clerke
,
and
some
neighbours
,
and
lighted
their
Lanthornes
(
which
were
the
lighter
and
the
heavier
for
their
Candles
)
so
they
came
amazedly
and
fearefully
to
the
Churchyard
,
and
there
they
found
the
Bull
dead
in
the
Church-porch
,
and
the
Horse
in
the
Bell-frey
ringing
his
Knell
.
Although
there
be
no
impossibilitie
in
this
Tale
,
yet
I
am
not
guilty
of
the
beleefe
of
it
,
nor
am
I
bound
to
prove
it
.
Bulls

Tales

A
Taxation
,

was
laid
upon
a
Countrey
Village
,
for
the
repairing
or
mending
of
a
bad
high-way
,
against
the
which
collection
the
people
grumbled
and
murmur'd
very
much
;
So
that
one
of
the
most
grave
and
wise
of
he
Parish
,
said
to
the
Officers
that
gathered
the
money
,
I
tell
you
friends
,
if
these
kind
of
Bursements
and
elections
be
laid
thus
tollerably
upon

it

O

some

lighted
in

Canst

To

Sir

but
yet
you
have
done
me
a

deal
more
injury
then
I
have
done

would
have

I
am
no
such
Slut
as
you
call'd
me
,
neither
do
I
keep

did
intreat

was
sorry
that
a

should
be
angry
for
nothing
;
but
the

did
entreat

the
more
furious
the

An

ONe

his

that
it

he

Of
Rome
.
A
Traveller
was
talking
what
a
good
City
Rome
was
,
to
whom
one
of
the
company
said
,
that
all

Irish
wood
an

to

A
Countrey
Fellow
came
into
Westminster
Hall
,
where
one
told
him
that
the
roofe
of
it
was
made
of
Irish
wood
,
and
that
the
nature
of
it
was
such
,
that
no
Spider
would
come
neere
it
,
and
he
said
(
further
)
that
in
Ireland
,
no
Toad
,
Snake
,
or
Caterpiller
can
live
,
but
that
the
Earth
,
or

Trees
will

Ah
(
quoth
the

man

I
wish
with
all
my
heart
that
the
Benches
,
Barres
and
Flooring
were
all
made
of
such
earth
and
wood
,
and
that
all
Coaches
,
Barges

Wherries
,
were
made
of
Irish
Oake
,
that
all
our
English
Caterpillers
might
be
destroyed

Thomas

complaint

Taylor

MAster
Thomas
Coriat
(
on
a
time

complained
against
me
to
King
Iames
,
desiring
His
Majestie
that
he
would
cause
some
heavie
punishment
to
be
inflicted
upon
me
,
for
abusing
him
in
writing
(
as
he
said
I
had
)
to
whom
the
King
replide
,
that
when
the
Lords
of
His
Honourable
Privie
Councell
had
leisure
,
and
nothing
else
to
do
,
then
they
should
heare
and
determine
the
differences
betwixt
Master
Coriat
the
Scholler
,
and
Iohn
Taylor
the
Sculler
:
which
answer
of
the
King
was
very
acceptable
to
Master
Coriat
.
Whereupon
I
made
this
following
Petition
to
the
King.

that

starts
up

out

that

bad

tell

Martha
protests
that

because

and
like

I
am
prating

quoth
Arbella
,
seeing
the
matter
drawes
toward
so
good
a
conclusion
,
let
's
een
have
the
tother
Pint
before
we
go
;
truly
sayes
Iane
,
the
motion
is
not
to
be
misliked
,
what
say
you
Gossip
Vrsula
truly
sayes
Ellin
,
I
would
go
with
you
with
all

heart
,
but
I
promist
to
meet
Lydya
at
a
Lector
that
we
might
take
a
neighbourly
nap
together
.
Vpon
this
rose
a
hurly
burly
,
that
the
whole
assembly
dispersed
themselves
divers
wayes
,
some
one
way
,
some
another
,
and
in
conclusion
,
the
businesse
was
all
wisely
ended
as
it
was
begun
.
A
Beare
.
Beare
and
forbeare
,
I
now
speake
of
the
Beare
,
And
therefore
(
Reader
)
give
,
or
lend
an
Eare.
FIrst
therefore
,
in
much
briefenesse
I
am
rendring
Where
,
and
how
Beares
have
breeding
and
engendring
,
Some
are
Ossean
,
some
are
Callidonian
,
Some
Aeremanthian
Beares
,
and
some
Aemonian
,
Some
rugged
Russians
,
some
Sun-burnt
Numidians
,
Amphibians
)
And
lastly
,
the
white
swimming
Beares
,
Some
do
affirme
a
Beare
to
be
a
creature
,
Whelp'd
like
a
lump
,
with
neither
shape
or
feature
,
Untill
the
Damme
doth
licke
it
into
fashion
,
And
makes
the
lamp
a
Beare
in
transformation
.
As
Taylors
with
their
precious
wisdomes
Tallants
,
Do
licke
,
and
Metamorphose
Gulls
to
Gallantt
.
Whereby
a
fashion
oft
is
shap'd
(
by
chance
)
Out
of
an
ill-bread
lumpe
of
ignorance
.
But
for
the
Beare
he
keepes
his
shape
most
constant
,
The
Taylor
(
and
his
creatures
)
change
each
instant
,
The
Beare
keepes
still
,
the
fashion
he
brought
hither
,
The
gallant
Gull
's
inconstant
,
like
Weather
.
A
Beare
's
a
temperate
Beast
,
most
free
from
riot
,
A
prudent
Schoolmaster
,
of
sparing
dyet
,
Hee
'le
live
foure
moneths
from
every
kind
of
meat
,
By
sucking
of
his
left
foot
,
like
a
Teat
.
Which
is
an
abstinence
that
doth
require
,
More
then
the
fast
of
a
Carthusisian
Fryer
,
No
Capuchin
,
or
immur'd
Anchorite
,
Did
never
(
so
much
)
curbe
his
Appetite
.
And
as
Beares
suffer
hunger
,
I
am
sure
,
No
beast
created
,
doth
more
cold
endure
:
When
fridged
Boreas
blustring
blasts
do
blow
,
Mid'st
Rocks
,
of
hoary
Ice
,
and
hills
of
Snow
,
The
worst
of
Winters
sharp
extremity
,
The
hardy
Beare
,
abides
most
constantly
.
And
in
hot
Africke
,
and
the
Libian
Coast
,
Where
Phaebus
flames
doth
seeme
the
world
to
Roast
:
Where
Negro
Moores
,
are
dride
and
blackly
dide
,
That
heat
(
excessive
)
there
the
Beare
doth
bide
.
So
that
with
hunger
,
heat
,
and
pinching
cold
,
The
Beares
extremities
are
manifold
.
Being
growne
unto
Maturity
and
strength
,
And
having
hither
past
the
seas
,
at
length
,
At
Beare-Garden
,
(
a
sweet
Ro●…untious
Golledge
)
Hee
's
taught
the
Rudiments
of
Art
and
knowledge
.
There
doth
he
learne
to
dance
,
and
(
gravely
grumbling
)
To
fight
&
to
be
Active
(
bravely
tumbling
)
To
practise
wards
,
and
postures
,
to
and
fro
,
To
guard
himselfe
,
and
to
offend
his
foe
;
Upon
his
hind
feet
,
Tipto
stiffe
to
stand
,
And
cuffe
a
Dog
off
with
his
foot-like
hand
;
And
afterwards
(
for
recreations
sake
)
Practise
to
run
the
Ring
about
the
stake
.
Whilst
showts
,
and
Mastives
mouthes
do
fill
the
sky
That
sure
Acteon
ne're
had
such
a
cry
.
Thus
Beares
do
please
the
hearing
and
the
sight
,
And
sure
their
sent
will
any
man
invite
:
For
whosoer'e
spends
most
,
shall
finde
this
fauour
,
That
by
the
Beares
and
Dogs
,
hee
's
made
a
savour
.
And
as
a
Common-wealth
,
(
oft
by
Ill-willers
;
)
Is
vex'd
by
prowling
knaves
,
and
Caterpillars
,
So
is
a
Beare
(
which
is
a
quiet
Beast
)
By
Curres
and
Mungrels
,
oftentimes
opprest
.
And
tyde
to
what
he
doth
hee
's
bound
to
see
,
The
best
and
worst
of
all
their
cruelty
.
And
for
mens
monies
,
what
shift
ere
they
make
for
't
,
What
ere
is
laid
or
paid
,
the
Beare
's
at
stake
for
't
.
Though
he
be
hardly
drawne
to
't
,
'gainst
his
will
,
Hee
's
bound
to
see
and
beare
,
and
bide
much
ill
;
Besides
the
baiting
of
a
Beare
is
rare
,
Unlike
the
baiting
of
a
Horse
or
Mare
:
The
Horse
hath
Provender
,
and
Hey
for
Bait
,
And
doth
in
peace
and
quiet
eate
his
meat
;
When
as
the
Beare
,
is
Tugg'd
,
Lugg'd
,
Bit
&
Beaten
And
eates
no
Bait
,
but
likely
to
be
Eaten
.
A
Beare
is
like
a
Watchman
by
his
coat
,
He
weares
a
Rugge-Gowne
alwayes
(
if
you
note
,
)
And
(
like
a
Watchman
)
oft
a
Beare
will
be
As
mannerly
,
and
watch
as
well
as
he
.
And
as
a
grumbling
Officer
may
weare
A
Collor
and
a
Chaine
,
so
doth
a
Beare
.
'T
is
writ
by
Authors
(
Philosophicall
)
How
that
a
Beare
is
usefull
,
Physicall
,
For
Agues
,
and
hot
Feavers
,
take
his
haire
,
His
Greace
(
or
Lard
)
will
aking
Limbes
repaire
:
His
Marrow
strengthens
,
(
if
you
do
annoint
)
Shrunk
Sinewes
,
Nerves
,
or
an
enfeebled
joint
,
The
oyle
boyl'd
from
his
feet
will
operate
The
Gowtes
tormenting
much
to
mitigate
,
And
when
man
's
in
consumption
,
like
to
pine
,
The
Bears
pith's
good
,
that
grows
amidst
his
Chine
.
A
Beares
skin
Tann'd
it
'h
haire
,
is
for
a
bed
Better
then
Blanquet
,
Rugg
,
or
Coverled
.
A
Beares
Teeth
,
Painters
in
high
price
do
hold
,
To
make
them
Instruments
to
gild
with
gold
,
And
for
his
Furre
it
is
such
ex'lent
stuffe
,
That
Many
a
Lady
weares
it
in
a
Muffe
;
Dry
a
Beares
Liver
,
and
to
Powder
beat
it
,
And
let
a
Maid
of
forty
five
yeares
eat
it
;
Although
a
thousand
false
Knaves
would
deceive
her
Yet
she
shall
keep
her
Maidenhead
for
ever
.
Thus
having
shew'd
of
Beares
their
sundry
breeding
Their
formes
,
their
admirable
sparing
feeding
:
Their
patience
,
courage
,
temperance
,
sortitude
,
And
many
vertues
that
have
them
endu'd
,
For
feare
I
should
mens
patience
much
offend
,
I
le
give
one
short
touch
more
and
make
an
end
.
Then
for
the
further
honour
of
the
Beares
,
They
(
with
the
stars
)
are
mounted
in
their
Sphears
:
There
Vrsa
Major
in
the
firmament
,
Is
stellifide
,
a
glorious
ornament
,
And
there
,
the
little
Beare
,
(
a
starre
more
finer
)
Is
call'd
Artophilax
,
or
Vrsa
Minor
,
And
who
so
reads
the
second
part
of
Ovid
,
There
shall
they
finde
(
what
here
is
writ
)
approved
.
Now
once
againe
,
pray
lend
your
eyes
and
eares
,
I
le
write
of
baiting
of
the
Bulls
and
Beares
.
It
is
a
Game
so
ancient
,
that
I
wot
Records
can
scarce
shew
when
we
usde
it
not
.
Except
now
,
in
these
sad
infectious
times
,
That
heav'ns
just
hand
doth
plague
us
for
our
crimes
,
The
Game
is
by
authority
supprest
:
And
Beares
,
and
Bulls
,
and
Dogs
,
have
too
much
rest
,
Through
want
of
baiting
growne
to
such
a
straine
,
(
Hard
to
be
tam'd
,
or
brought
in
frame
againe
)
Almost
all
mad
for
want
of
exercise
,
Filling
the
Aire
with
roaring
and
with
cries
,
That
those
who
neer
the
Bear-Garden
are
dwelling
Do
heare
such
bellowing
bawling
,
yawling
,
yelling
,
As
if
Hell
were
broake
loose
,
or
(
truth
to
speake
)
The
Devils
at
foot-ball
were
or
Barley-breake
.
There
's
three
couragious
Bulls
,
as
ever
plaid
,
Twenty
good
Beares
,
as
er'e
to
stake
was
taid
,
And
seventy
Mastives
of
such
Breed
and
Races
,
That
from
fierce
Lions
will
not
turne
their
faces
;
A
male
and
female
Ape
(
kind
Jacke
and
Jugge
)
Who
with
sweet
complement
do
kisse
and
hugge
,
And
lastly
there
is
Jacke
an
Apes
his
Horse
,
A
Beast
of
fiery
fortitude
and
force
.
As
for
the
Game
I
boldly
dare
relate
,
'T
is
not
for
Boyes
,
or
fooles
effeminate
,
For
whoso'ere
comes
thither
,
most
and
least
,
May
see
and
learne
some
courage
from
a
Beast
:
And
't
is
not
only
a
base
Rabble
Crew
,
That
thither
comes
,
It
may
be
proved
true
,
That
to
the
Beare-Garden
comes
now
and
than
,
Some
Gamesters
worth
ten
thousand
pounds
a
man.
For
rough
behaviour
that
's
no
great
disgrace
,
There
's
more
hors-play
us'd
at
each
deere
hors-race
,
More
heads
,
or
legs
,
or
necks
,
are
broake
each
day
,
At
Cards
,
Dice
,
Tables
,
Bowles
,
or
foot-ball-play
.
The
Game
hath
been
maintain'd
,
and
will
,
we
hope
Be
so
againe
(
now
favour
gives
it
scope
)
For
Kings
,
for
Princes
,
for
Ambassadors
,
Both
for
our
Countreym●…n
,
and
forreigners
.
Which
hath
been
held
,
a
Royalty
and
Game
,
And
(
though
ecclips'd
)
will
be
againe
the
same
.
But
now
(
to
make
an
end
)
must
be
explain'd
,
How
it
the
name
of
Paris-Garden
gan'd
:
The
name
of
it
was
from
a
Royall
Boy
,
(
Brave
Illions
fire-brand
,
wracke
and
sacke
of
Troy
)
Paris
(
King
Priams
sonne
)
a
sucking
child
,
Was
throwne
away
into
the
woods
so
wilde
,
There
that
young
Prince
was
cast
to
live
or
perish
,
And
there
a
Bear
with
sucke
,
the
babe
did
cherish
;
And
as
a
rare
memoriall
of
the
same
,
From
Paris
,
Paris-Garden
hath
the
name
.
Those
that
will
not
beleeve
it
,
let
them
go
To
France
,
in
Paris
,
they
may
find
it
so
,
Or
if
not
there
,
let
them
looke
narrowly
,
In
Matthew
Paris
famous
History
.
And
that
we
have
obtain'd
againe
the
Game
,
Our
Paris-Garden
Flag
proclaimes
the
same
.
Our
Beares
,
and

,
and

The
streets

perambulate
,
And
honest
sport
,
and
lawfull
merriment
,
Shall
thrice
a
weeke
be
shew'd
,
to
give
content
.
Heere
followes

And

Vpon

MY
Muse
is
Mounted
'twixt
the
soaring
wings
Of
Pegasus
,
who
bravely
flies
and
flings
Through
ayre
,
through
clouds
,
through
sun-shine
,
&
descries
Each
earthly
Regions
Rare
Varieties
.
The
numbers
infinite
,
of
sundry
creatures
,
Their
strange
diversity
in
formes
and
Natures
,
And
as
in
gliding
flight
,
I
swiftly
soare
Or'e
Sun-burnt
Africke
,
and
the
Libian
shore
,
There
(
with
much
pleasure
)
I
did
cast
mine
eye
Upon
the
well-made
Horse
of
Barbarie
,
And
crossing
or'e
the
Mediterran
Maine
,
I
saw
the
prauncing
Jennet
of
proud
Spaine
,
straight
the
Iberian
fume
of
Aristippus
,
●…url'd
us
to
Greece
,
and
there
I
view'd
their
Hippos
.
Then
back
or'e
Italy
amaine
we
flew
,
Whereas
their
fierce
Cavallo
I
did
view
,
In
Naples
I
the
Courser
brave
espide
,
Thence
,
we
or'e
Almaine
,
and
low
Belgia
glide
,
There
my
Muse
saw
the
bounding
Palfrey
Prancē
,
From
thence
my
wing'd
horse
bore
me
over
France
There
foaming
fiery
hot
the
gallant
Gaul
,
Did
daunce
Corantoes
with
his
Frenth
Chevall
.
Then
or'e
Hibernia
,
we
tooke
speedy
flight
,
And
there
the
Irish
Hobby
pleas'd
my
sight
,
Then
my
Pegasian
wings
began
to
flag
,
I
view'd
the
English
Steed
,
and
Scottish
Nag
.
And
as
the
heat
of
blood
my
Bcast
inflames
He
kick'd
and
threw
me
headlong
into
*
Thames
,
And
as
I
fell
,
his
hoofe
bestow'd
a
wince
,
Upon
my
pate
,
and
there
's
the
marke
ere
since
.
The
gentle
River
at
my
fall
did
grieve
,
Set
me
on
land
safe
,
gave
me
meanes
to
live
:
And
Pegasus
inspir'd
me
with
his
heele
,
That
ever
since
an
itching
vaine
I
feele
,
Of
sprightfull
Poesie
,
though
not
so
well
,
As
men
may
say
I
therein
do
excell
.
But
I
can
do
(
as
many
more
have
done
)
Bring
Reames
of
Paper
to
confusion
.
Nor
doth
my
Muse
rejoyce
in
merriments
,
Drawne
from
wits
sorded
obsceane
excrements
;
I
le
curbe
her
in
,
from
medling
with
the
State
,
Or
libelling
'gainst
men
infortunate
,
I
meane
to
keep
my
eares
upon
my
head
,
And
on
mens
miseries
I
scorne
to
tread
.
I
have
observ'd
no
proud
man
ever
yet
,
Did
any
thing
but
ruine
,
and
hatred
get
;
I
know
obedience
,
and
humilitie
,
Is
best
with
all
belov'd
tranquilitie
,
I
know
the
lawes
guard
me
from
mischiefes
Jawes
,
Which
lawes
I
love
,
&
those
that
made
those
lawes
Nor
shall
my
lines
(
for
things
indifferent
)
In
Church
or
Common-wealth
er'e
make
a
rent
.
Thus
Pegasus
did
to
Pernassus
soare
,
And
on
the
Thames
I
got
a
healthfull
Oare
,
Which
ofttimes
I
have
us'd
,
and
will
againe
,
Meane
time
I
le
use
the
vigour
of
my
braine
,
As
Homer
writ
the
warres
of
Mice
and
Frogs
,
So
I
(
his
Ape
)
do
write
of
Beares
and
Dogs
:
Of
Bulls
,
and
Bulls
begot
by
word
of
mouth
Of
Horses
,
and
some
Tales
of
age
and
youth
,
And
now
my
Muse
againe
begins
to
mount
,
The
Horses
excellency
to
recount
,
You
famous
Palfreyes
of
the
flaming
Sunne
,
(
That
scorn'd
the
management
of
Phaeton
)
Who
with
the
heat
of
Sol's
bright
Axelltree
Caus'd
all
this
under
world
on
fire
to
be
;
(
I
know
the
morall
meaning
of
the
same
,
Is
,
man
should
not
beyond
true
reason
ayme
.
)
Let
Ecus
,
Phlegon
,
Aethon
,
and
Piruis
,
Apolloes
golden
Teame
Assist
my
Muse
,
But
't
is
no
matter
,
keepe
your
daily
course
,
Without
your
aide
my
wit
is
nere
the
worse
;
Whilst
you
are
reeking
with
celestiall
sweat
I
,
of
Terrestriall
Horses
meane
to
treat
.
A
Horse
(
of
all
the
Beasts
beneath
the
skie
)
Is
best
,
and
most
for
mans
commodity
:
His
exact
making
gives
the
eye
delight
,
A
body
brave
,
lin'd
with
a
noble
sprite
,
And
though
he
knew
no
reson
,
or
a
mind
,
Yet
unto
man
hee
's
tractably
enclin'd
,
In
dangerous
war
,
the
Horse
the
brunt
doth
carry
,
Where
every
Rider
seemes
a
Sagitary
,
In
peace
,
a
Horse
for
state
,
for
Tilt
or
Tourney
,
For
quicke
dispatch
,
or
ease
in
any
journey
,
For
pleasure
,
carriage
,
and
for
husbandry
,
The
Horse
doth
furnish
our
necessity
.
The
poorest
Horse
that
is
,
or
ever
was
,
Doth
much
more
service
then
the
golden
Asse
,
That
's
deck'd
with
borrowed
trappings
,
yet
such
beasts
,
Advance
audaciously
their
brainlesse
Crests
,
Neere
where
the
Princely
Lyon
doth
resort
,
And
there
in
pride
and
sensuall
lust
do
snort
,
Yet
can
they
not
out
strip
all
beasts
so
farr
,
But
Wisdomes
eye
perceives
them
what
they
are
.
The
hunting
Horse
is
of
good
use
for
pleasure
.
The
Sumpter
Horse
doth
understand
the
treasure
.
The
Mill-horse
hath
an
endlesse
journey
(
round
)
The
Pack-horse
overladen
measures
ground
,
The
Mare
and
Gelding
servesour
businesse
well
,
Whilst
(
for
poore
Hackneyes
)
England
is
a
Hell.
And
what
's
a
Horses
gaine
for
all
his
paine
,
But
bread
,
grasse
,
hay
,
oats
,
or
such
kind
of
Graine
,
tyres
.
That
is
the
summum
bonum
,
he
desires
,
Through
want
of
which
there
's
many
a
good
Horse
I
have
seene
Gallants
(
three
parts
drunke
almost
)
*
Ride
,
as
they
meant
to
see
the
Devill
in
post
,
And
when
they
to
their
journies
end
have
come
,
Their
horses
mucky
wet
,
with
sweat
and
foame
,
The
Riders
fall
unto
their
drinking
vaine
,
The
Ostler
walkes
the
Horse
a
turne
or
twaine
,
Their
jawes
tyde
up
unto
the
empty
Racke
,
The
whilst
their
Riders
smoake
,
and
swallow
sack
,
Quaffes
,
capers
,
sings
a
Katch
,
a
round
,
or
Ditty
,
And
leaves
the
Horse
unto
the
Hostlers
pitty
,
And
so
the
jades
of
meat
do
get
such
store
,
As
Lazarus
once
had
at
the
Gluttons
dore
.
Thus
many
a
good
Horse
proves
a
jade
indeed
Being
over
rid
,
and
want
whereon
to
feed
,
All
those
that
to
a
beast
beares
such
a
mind
,
I
wish
them
all
so
served
in
their
kind
.
There
's
many
wayes
,
mens
barbarous
cruelty
,
Doth
cause
diseases
multiplicity
To
be
in
Horses
,
and
the
damned
Trade
To
sell
a
Botch'd
sophisticated
jade
,
In
*
Smithfield
is
in
practise
twice
a
weeke
,
He
that
beleeves
me
not
,
let
him
go
seeke
.
There
shall
he
see
the
ambler
made
to
trot
,
The
lame
and
founderd
,
lusty
,
(
being
hot
)
The
trotter
shall
be
forc'd
with
ease
to
amble
,
And
through
the
horsemarket
shall
be
such
scamble
With
galloping
,
and
trotting
,
ambling
,
pacing
,
Most
odious
swearing
,
lying
,
and
out-facing
,
Such
dawbing
horses
griefes
with
counterfeiting
,
That
hee
's
a
cunning
buyer
scapes
their
cheating
.
In
ancient
times
,
horses
much
fame
did
gaine
,
Which
Poets
and
Historians
do
maintaine
:
Besides
the
swist
skie-scalding
Pegasus
,
Great
Alexander
had
Bucephalus
,
Reinoldo
had
his
Bayard
,
and
there
are
,
Names
giv'n
to
horses
,
both
in
peace
and
war.
But
leaving
stately
horses
,
it
is
found
†
The
Bear-garden
is
circular
,
or
rovnd
,
Where
Iack-an-Apes
his
horse
doth
swiftly
run
His
circuit
,
like
the
horses
of
the
Snn.
And
quicke
as
lightning
,
his
will
trace
and
track
,
Making
that
endlesse
round
his
Zodiacke
,
Which
Iacke
(
his
Rider
)
bravely
rides
a
straddle
,
And
in
his
hot
Careere
perfumes
the
saddle
;
Hee
's
active
,
and
hee
's
passive
in
his
pace
,
And
sprung
from
ancient
and
approved
race
,
His
grandsires
grandsire
,
was
begot
perforce
,
Between

Night-mare
,
and

That

Horse

A

and
from

For

He
