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).

The

was
,

the

:
The
Moone
full
three
dayes
old
,
the
winde
full
South
;
At
these
times
I
began
this
trick
of
youth
.
I
speake
not
of
the
Tide
;
for
vnderstand
,
My
legges
I
made
my
Oares
,
and
rowed
by
land
,
Though
in
the
morning
I
began
to
goe
,
Good
fellowes
trooping
,
flock'd
me
so
,
That
make
what
hast
I
could
,
the
Sunne
was
set
,
E're
from
the
gates
of
London
I
could
get
.
At
last
I
tooke
my
latest
leaue
,
thus
late
At
the
Bell
Inne
,
that
's
extra
Aldersgate
.
There
stoode
a
horse
that
my

carie
,
From
that
place
to
the
end
of
my

,
My

,
no

but
guelded
Nagge

That
with

bore

:
And
of
good
cariage
he
himselfe
did
show
,
These
things
are
ex'lent
in
a
beast
,
you
know
.
There
,
in
my
Knapsack
,
(
to
pay
hungers
fees
)
I
had
good
Bacon
,
Bisket
,
Neates-tongue
,
Cheese
,
With
Roses
,
Barbaries
,
of
each
Conserues
,
And
Mithridate
,
that
vigrous
health
preserues
;
And
I
entreate
you
take
these
words
for
no-lyes
,
I
had
good
Aqua
vita
,
Rosa
so-lies
:
With
sweet
Ambrosia
,
(
the
Gods
owne
drinke
)
Most
ex'lent
geere
for
mortalls
,
as
I
thinke
.
Besides
,
I
had
both
vineger
and
oyle
,
That
could
a
daring
sawcie
stomack
foyle
.
This
foresaid
Tuesday
night
'twixt
eight
and
nine
,
Well
rigg'd
and
ballac'd
,
both
with
Beere
and
Wine
,
I
stumbling
forward
,
thus
my
iaunt
begun
,
And
went
that
night
as
farre
as
Islington
.
There
did
I
finde
,
(
I
dare
affirme
it
bold
)
A
Maydenhead
of
twenty
fiue
yeeres
old
,
But
surely
it
was
painted
,
like
a
whore
,
And
for
a
signe
,
or
wonder
,
hang'd
at
'
dore
,
Which
shewe
,
a
Maidenhead
,
that
's
kept
so
long
,
May
be
hang'd
vp
,
and
yet
sustaine
no
wrong
.
There
did
my
louing
friendly
Host
begin
To
entertaine
me
freely
to
his
Inne
:
And
there
my
friends
,
and
good
associates
,
Each
one
to
mirth
himselfe
accommodates
.
At
Well
head
both
for
welcome
,
and
for
cheere
,
Hauing
a
good
New
tonne
,
of
good
stale
Beere
:
There
did
we
Trundle
downe
health
,
after
health
(
Which
oftentimes
impaires
both
health
and
wealth
.
)
Till
euery
one
had
fill'd
his
mortall
Trunke
,
And
onely
Nobody
was
three
parts
drunke
.
The
morrow
next
,
Wednesday
Saint
Swithins
day
,
From
ancient
Islington
I
tooke
my
way
.
At
Hollywell
I
was
inforc'd
carrowse
,
Ale
high
,
and
mightie
,
at
the
Blinde-mans
house
.
But
ther
's
a
helpe
to
make
amends
for
all
,
That
though
the
Ale
be
great
,
the
Pots
be
small
.
At
High-gate
hill
to
a
strange
house
I
went
,
And
saw
the
people
were
to
eating
bent
,
I
neither
Borrow'd
,
Crau'd
,
Ask'd
,
Begg'd
or
Bought
,
But
most
laborious
with
my
teeth
I
wrought
.
I
did
not
this
cause
meate
or
drinke
was
scant
,
But
I
did
practise
thus
before
my
want
;
Like
to
a
Tilter
that
would
winne
the
prize
,
Before
the
day
hee
'le
often
excercise
.
So
I
began
to
put
in
vre
,
at
first
These
principles
'gainst
hunger
,
and
'gainst
thirst
,
Close
to
the
Gate
,
their
dwelt
a
worthy
man
,
That
well
could
take
his
whiffe
,
and
quaffe
his
Canne
,
Right
Robin
Good-fellow
,
but
humors
euill
Doe
call
him
Robin
Pluto
,
or
the
Deuill
.
But
finding
him
a
Deuill
,
freely
harted
,
With
friendly
farewels
I
tooke
leaue
and
parted
.
And
as
alongst
I
did
my
Iourney
take
,
I
dranke
at
Broomes-well
,
for
pure
fashions
sake
.
Two
miles
I
trauelled
then
,
without
a
bayte
,
The
Sarazens
head
at
Whetstone
entring
straight
,
I
found
an
Host
,
might
lead
an
Host
of
men
,
Exceeding
Fat
,
yet
named
Lean
,
and
Few
,
And
though
we
make
small
reckoning
of
him
heere
,
Hee
's
knowne
to
be
a
very
Great
man
there
.
There
I
tooke
leaue
,
of
all
my
Company
,
Bade
all
farewell
,
yet
spake
to
No-body
.
Good
Reader
thinke
not
strange
,
what
I
compile
,
For
No-body
was
with
me
all
this
while
.
And
No-body
did
drinke
,
and
winke
,
and
scinke
,
And
on
occasion
freely
spend
his
Chinke
.
If
any
one
desire
to
know
the
man
,
Walke
,
stumble
,
Trundle
,
but
in
Barbican
.
Ther
's
as
good
Beere
and
Ale
as
euer
twang'd
,
And
in
that
street
kinde
No-body
is
hang'd
,
But
leauing
him
,
vnto
his
matchlesse
fame
,
I
to
St.
Albanes
in
the
Euening
came
,
Where
Mr.
Taylor
,
at
the
Sarazens
head
,
Vnask'd
(
vnpaid
for
)
me
both
lodg'd
and
sed
.
The
Tapsters
,
Hostlers
,
Chamberlaines
,
and
all
,
Sau'd
mee
a
labour
,
that
I
need
not
call
,
The
Iugges
were
fild
and
fild
,
the
cups
went
round
,
And
in
a
word
great
kindnes
there
I
found
,
For
which
both
to
my
Cosen
,
and
his
men
,
I
le
still
be
thankefull
in
word
,
deed
,
and
pen.
Till
Thursday
morning
there
I
made
my
stay
,
And
then
I
went
plaine
Dunstable
high-way
.
My
very
hart
with
drought
me
thought
did
shrinke
,
I
went
twelue
miles
,
and
no
one
bad
me
drinke
.
Which
made
me
call
to
minde
,
that
instant
time
,
That
Drunkennes
was
a
most
sinful
crime
.
When
Puddle-hill
I
footed
downe
,
and
past
A
mile
from
thence
I
found
a
Hedge
at
last
.
There
stroke
we
sayle
,
our
Bacon
,
Cheese
and
Bread
We
drew
like
Fidlers
,
and
like
Farmers
fed
,
And
whilst
2.
houres
we
there
did
take
out
ease
,
My
Nagge
made
shift
to
mump
greene
Pulse
and
Pease
.
Thus
we
our
hungry
stomacks
did
supply
,
And
dranke
the
water
of
a
Brooke
hard
by
.
A
way
t'ward
Hockley
in
the
hole
,
we
make
,
When
straight
a

Who

I
thank'd
and
prayd
him
to
put
vp
his
Chinke
,
And
willingly
I
wisht
it
drownd
in
drinke
.
Away
Rode
he
,
but
like
an
honest

,
I
found
at
Hockley
standing
at
the
Swan

A

bale
,
My
fees
were
paide
before
,
with
sixe-pence
Ale.
To
quitt
this
kindnesse
,
I
most
willing
am
The
man
that
paide
for
all
,
his
name
is
Dam
At
the
greene
Dragon
,
against
Grayes-Iune
gate
,
He
liues
in
good
Repute
,
and
honest
state
.
I
forward
went
in
this
my
Roauing
race
,
To
Stony
Stratford
I
toward
night
did
pace
,
My
minde
was
fixed
through
the
Towne
to
passe
,
To
finde
some
Lodging
in
the
Hay
or
Grasse
,
But
at
the
Queenes
Armes
from
the
window
there
,
A
comfortable
voyce
I
chaunc'd
to
heare
,
Call
Taylor
,
Taylor
and
be
hang'd
come
hither
,
I
look'd
for
small
intreaty
and
went
thither
,
There
were
some
friends
,
which
I
was
glad
to
see
,
Who
knew
my
Iourney
;
lodg'd
,
and
boorded
me
.
On
Friday
morne
,
as
I
would
take
my
way
,
My
friendly
Host
entreated
me
to
stay
,
Because
it
Rain'd
he
tolde
me
I
should
haue
,
Meate
,
Drinke
,
and
Horse-meate
and
not
pay
or
craue
.
I
thank'd
him
,
and
for
's
loue
remaine
his
debter
,
But
if
I
liue
,
I
will
requite
him
better
.
(
From
Stony
Stratford
,
the
way
hard
with
stones
)
Did
founder
me
,
and
vexe
me
to
the
bones
,
In
blustring
weather
,
both
for
winde
and
Raine
,
Through
Tocetter
I
trotted
,
with
much
paine
,
Two
miles
from
thence
,
we
satt
vs
downe
and
dynde
,
Well
Bulwark'd
by
a
hedge
,
from
raine
and
winde
.
We
hauing
fed
,
away
incontinent
,
With
weary
pace
toward
Dauentry
we
went
,
Foure
miles
short
of
it
,
one
o're-tooke
me
there
,
And
tolde
me
he
would
leaue
a
Iugge
of
Beere
,
At
Dauentry
at
the
Horse-shoe
,
for
my
vse
,
I
thought
it
no
good
manners
to
refuse
,
But
thank'd
him
,
for
his
kinde
vnasked
gift
,
Whilest
I
was
lame
as
scarce
a
leg
could
lift
,
Came
ilmping
after
to
that
stony
Towne
,
Whose
hard
streetes
,
made
me
almost
halt
tight
downe
.
There
had
my
friend
performed
the
words
he
saide
,
And
at
the
doore
a
Iugge
of
liquor
staide
The
folkes
were
all
informed
,
before
I
came
,
How
,
and
wherefore
my
Iourney
I
did
frame
,
Which
caused
mine
Hostesse
from
her
doore
come
out
,
(
hauing
a
great
Wart
Rampant
on
her
snowt
.
)
The
Tapsters
,
Hostlers
,
one
another
call
,
The
Chamberlaines
with
admiration
all
,
Were
fild
with
wonder
,
more
then
wonderfull
,
As
if
some
Monster
sent
from
the
Mogull
,
Some
Elephant
from
Affricke
,
I
had
beene
,
Or
some
strange
beast
from
th'
Amazonian
Queene
.
As
Buzards
,
Widgions
,
Woodcocks
,
and
such
fowle
,
Doe
gaze
and
wonder
at
the
broad-fac'd
Owle
,
So
did
these
brainlesse
Asses
,
all-amaz'd
,
With
admirable
Non
sence
talk'd
and
gaz'd
.
They
knew
my
state
,
(
although
not
tolde
by
me
,
)
That
I
could
scarcely
goe
,
they
all
did
see
,
They
dranke
of
my
Beere
,
that
to
me
was
giuen
,
But
gaue
me
not
a
drop
,
to
make
all
eeuen
.
And
that
which
in
my
minde
was
most
amisse
,
My
Hostesse
she
stood
by
and
saw
all
this
,
Had
she
but
said
,
come
neere
the
house
my
friend
,
For
this
day
heere
shall
be
your
Iourneys
end
,
Then
had
she
done
,
the
thing
which
she
did
not
,
And
I
in
kinder
wordes
had
paid
the
shot
.
I
doe
intreat
my
friends
,
(
as
I
haue
some
)
If
they
to
Dauentry
doe
chance
to
come
,
That
they
will
balke
that
Inne
;
or
if
by
chaunce
,
Or
accident
into
that
house
they
glaunce
,
Kinde
Gentlemen
,
as
they
by
you
reape
profit
,
My
hostesse
Care
of
mee
,
pray
tell
her
of
it
.
Yet
doe
not
neither
,
Lodge
there
when
you
will
,
You
for
your
money
shall
be
welcome
still
.
From
thence
that
night
,
although
my
bones
were
sore
,
I
made
a
shift
to
hobble
seau'n
miles
more
:
The
way
to
Dunchurch
,
foule
with
dirt
and
mire
,
Able
,
I
thinke
,
both
man
and
horse
to
tire
.
On
Dunsmore
Heath
,
a
hedge
doth
there
enclose
Grounds
,
on
the
right
hand
,
there
I
did
repose
.
Wits
whetstone
,
want
,
there
made
vs
quickly
learne
,
With
kniues
to
cut
downe
Rushes
,
and
greene
Fearne
,
Of
which
we
made
a
field-bed
in
the
field
,
Which
fleepe
,
and
rest
,
and
much
content
did
yeeld
.
There
with
my
mother
Earth
,
I
thought
it
fit
To
lodge
,
and
yet
no
Incest
did
commit
:
My
bed
was
Curtain'd
with
good
wholesome
ayres
,
And
being
weary
,
I
went
vp
no
stayres
:
The
skie
my
Canopy
,
bright
Pheabe
shinde
,
Sweet
bawling
Zephirus
breath'd
gentle
winde
,
In
heau'ns
Starre
Chamber
I
did
lodge
that
night
,
Tenne
thousand
Starres
,
me
to
my
bed
did
light
;
There
baracadoed
with
a
banke
lay
wee
Below
the
lofty
branches
of
a
tree
,
There
my
bed-fellowes
and
companions
were
,
My
Man
,
my
Horse
,
a
Bull
,
foure
Cowes
,
two
Steere
:
But
yet
for
all
this
most
confused
rowt
,
We
had
no
bed-staues
,
yet
we
fell
not
out
,
Thus
Nature
,
like
an
ancient
free
Vpholster
,
Did
furnish
vs
with
bedstead
,
bed
,
and
bolster
;
And
the
kinde
skies
,
(
for
which
high
Heau'n
be
thanked
,
Allow'd
vs
a
large
Couering
and
a
Blanket
:
Aurora's
face
gan
light
our
lodging
darke
.
We
arose
and
mounted
,
with
the
mounting
Larke
,
Through
plashes
,
puddles
,
thicke
,
thinne
,
wet
and
dry
,
I
trauail'd
to
the
Citie
Couentry
.
There
Maister
Doctor
Holland
caus'd
me
stay
The
day
of
Saturne
,
and
the
Sabaoth
day
.
Most
friendly
welcome
,
he
did
me
affoord
,
I
was
so
entertain'd
at
bed
and
boord
,
Which
as
I
dare
not
bragge
how
much
it
was
,
I
dare
not
be
ingrate
and
let
it
passe
,
But
with
thankes
many
I
remember
it
(
In
stead
of
his
good
deedes
)
in
words
and
writ
,
He
vs'd
me
like
his
sonne
,
more
then
a
friend
,
And
he
on
Monday
his
commends
did
send
To
Newhall
,
where
a
Gentleman
did
dwell
,
Who
by
his
name
is
hight
Sacheuerell
.
The
Tuesday
Iulyes
one
and
twenteth
day
,
I
to
the
Citie
Lichfield
tooke
my
way
,
At
Sutton
Coffill
with
some
friends
I
met
,
And
much
adoe
I
had
from
thence
to
get
,
There
I
was
almost
put
vnto
my
trumps
,
My
Horses
shooes
were
worne
as
thinne
as
pumps
;
But
noble
Vulcan
,
a
mad
smuggy
Smith
,
All
reparations
me
did
furnish
with
.
The
shooes
were
well
remou'd
,
my
Palfrey
shod
,
And
he
referr'd
the
payment
vnto
God.
I
found
a
friend
,
when
I
to
Lichfield
came
,
A
Ioyner
,
and
Iohn
Piddock
is
his
name
,
He
made
me
welcome
,
for
he
knew
my
iaunt
,
And
he
did
furnish
me
with
good
prouant
:
He
offred
me
some
money
,
I
refus'd
it
,
And
so
I
tooke
my
leaue
,
with
thanks
excus'd
it
.
That
Wednesday
I
a
weary
way
did
passe
,
Raine
,
winde
,
stones
,
dirt
,
and
dabling
dewie
grasse
,
With
here
and
there
a
pelting
scatter'd
village
,
Which
yeelded
me
no
charity
,
or
pillage
:
For
all
the
day
,
nor
yet
the
night
that
followed
,
One
drop
of
drinke
I
'm
sure
my
gullet
swallowed
.
At
night
I
came
t'
a
stonie
Towne
call'd
Stone
,
Where
I
knew
none
,
nor
was
I
knowne
of
none
:
I
therefore
through
the
streetes
held
on
my
pace
,
Some
two
miles
farther
to
some
resting
place
:
At
last
I
spide
a
meddow
newly
mowde
,
The
Hay
was
rotten
,
the
ground
halfe
o're-flowde
:
We
made
a
breach
,
and
entred
horse
and
man
,
There
our
pauillion
,
we
to
pitch
began
,
Which
we
erected
with
greene
Broome
and
Hay
T'
expell
the
colde
,
and
keepe
the
raine
away
;
The
skie
all
muffled
in
a
cloud
gan
lowre
,
And
presently
there
sell
a
mighty
showre
,
Which
without
intermission
downe
did
powre
,
From
tenne
at
night
,
vntill
the
mornings
foure
.
We
all
that
time
close
in
our
Couch
did
lye
,
Which
being
well
compacted
,
kept
vs
dry
.
The
worst
was
,
we
did
neither
sup
nor
sleepe
,
And
so
a
temperate
dyet
we
did
keepe
.
The
morning
all
enroab'd
in
drisling
fogges
,
We
being
as
ready
as
we
had
beene
dogges
:
We
neede
not
stand
vpon
long
ready
making
,
But
gaping
,
stretching
,
and
our
eares
well
shaking
:
And
for
I
found
my
Host
and
Hostesse
kinde
,
I
like
a
true
man
left
my
sheetes
behinde
.
That
Thursday
morne
,
my
weary
course
I
fram'd
,
Vnto
a
Towne
that
is
Newcastle
nam'd
,
(
Not
that
Newcastle
standing
vpon
Tine
)
But
this
Townes
scituation
doth
confine
Neere
Cheshiere
,
in
the
famous
County
Stafford
,
And
for
their
loue
,
I
owe
them
not
a
straw
for
't
;
But
now
my
versing
Muse
craues
some
repose
,
And
whilst
she
sleepes
I
le
spowt
a
little
prose
.
In
this
Towne
of
Newcastle
,
I
ouertooke
an
Hostler
,
and
I
asked
him
what
the
next
towne
was
called
,
that
was
in
my
way
toward
Lancaster
,
he
holding
the
end
of
a
riding
rod
in
his
mouth
,
as
if
it
had
beene
a
Fluit
,
piped
me
this
answere
,
and
said
,
Talke
on
the
hill
;
I
asked
him
againe
what
hee
said
,
Talke
on
the
hill
:
I
demaunded
the
third
time
,
and
the
third
time
he
answered
me
as
he
did
before
,
Talke
on
the
hill
.
I
began
to
grow
chollericke
,
and
asked
him
why
hee
could
not
talke
,
or
tell
mee
my
way
as
well
there
,
as
on
the
hill
;
at
last
I
was
resolued
,
that
the
next
Towne
was
foure
miles
off
mee
,
and
the
name
of
it
was
,
Talke
on
the
hill
.
I
had
not
trauailed
aboue
two
miles
farther
:
but
my
last
nights
supper
(
which
was
asmuch
as
nothing
)
my
mind
being
enformed
of
it
by
my
stomacke
.
I
made
a
vertue
of
necessity
,
and
went
to
breakfast
in
the
sunne
:
I
haue
sared
better
at
three
sunnes
many
a
time
before
now
,
in
Aldersgate
streete
,
Creeplegate
,
and
new
Fishstreete
;
but
here
is
the
oddes
,
at
those
Sunnes
they
will
come
vpon
a
man
with
a
Tauerne
bill
,
as
sharpe
cutting
as
a
Taylors
bill
of
Items
:
A
Watch-mans
blil
,
or
a
Welch-hooke
falles
not
halfe
so
heauy
vpon
a
man
;
besides
,
most
of
the
Vintners
haue
the
law
in
their
owne
hands
,
and
haue
all
their
Actions
,
Cases
,
Bills
of
Debt
,
and
such
Reckonings
tried
at
their
owne
Barres
;
from
whence
there
is
no
appeale
.
But
leauing
these
impertinencies
,
in
the
materiall
Sunne-shiee
,
wee
eate
a
substantiall
Dinner
,
and
like
miserable
Guestes
wee
did
budget
vp
the
Reuersions
.
And
now
with
sleepe
,
my
Muse
hath
eas'd
her
braine
.
I
'le
turne
my
stile
from
prose
,
to
verse
againe
.
That
which
we
could
not
haue
,
we
freely
spar'd
,
And
wanting
drinke
,
most
soberly
we
far'd
.
We
had
great
store
of
fowle
(
but
't
was
foule
way
)
And
kindly
euery
step
entreates
me
stay
,
The
clammy
clay
sometimes
my
heeles
would
trip
,
One
foote
went
forward
,
th'
other
backe
would
slip
.
This
weary
day
,
when
I
had
almost
past
,
I
came
vnto
Sir
Vrian
Legh's
at
last
,
At
Adlington
,
neere
Macksfield
he
doth
dwell
,
Belou'd
,
respected
,
and
reputed
well
.
Through
his
great
loue
,
my
stay
with
him
was
fixt
,
From
Thursday
night
,
till
noone
on
Monday
next
,
At
his
owne
table
I
did
dayly
eate
,
Whereat
may
be
suppos'd
,
did
want
no
meate
,
He
would
haue
giu'n
me
Gold
or
Siluer
either
,
But
I
with
many
thankes
,
receiued
neither
.
And
thus
much
without
flatterie
I
dare
sweare
,
He
is
a
Knight
beloued
farre
and
neere
.
First
he
's
beloued
of
his
God
aboue
,
(
which
loue
,
he
loues
to
keepe
,
beyond
all
loue
)
Next
with
a
Wife
and
Children
he
is
blest
,
Each
hauing
Gods
feare
planted
in
their
brest
.
With
faire
Demaines
,
Reuennue
of
good
Lands
,
Hee
's
fairely
blest
by
the
Almighties
hands
,
And
as
hee
's
happy
in
these
outward
things
,
So
from
his
inward
minde
,
continuall
springes
Fruits
of
Deuotion
,
deeds
of
Piety
,
Good
hospitable
workes
of
Charity
,
Iust
in
his
Actions
,
Constant
in
his
word
,
And
one
that
wonne
his
honour
with
his
sword
.
Hee
's
no
Carranto
,
Capr'ing
,
Carpet
Knight
,
But
he
knowes
when
,
and
how
to
speake
or
fight
.
I
cannot
flatter
him
,
say
what
I
can
,
Hee
's
euery
way
a
compleat
Gentleman
.
I
write
not
this
,
for
what
he
did
to
me
,
But
what
mine
eares
,
and
eyes
did
heare
and
see
,
Nor
doe
I
pen
this
to
enlarge
his
fame
,
But
to
make
others
Imitate
the
same
.
For
like
a
Trumpet
were
I
pleasd
to
blow
,
I
would
his
worthy
worth
more
amply
show
,
But
I
already
feare
haue
beene
too
bolde
,
And
craue
his
pardon
,
me
excusd
to
holde
.
Thankes
to
his
Sonnes
and
seruants
euery
one
,
Both
males
and
females
all
,
excepting
none
.
To
beare
a
letter
he
did
me
require
,
Neere
Manchester
,
vnto
a
good
Esquire
:
His
kinsman
Edmond
Prestwitch
,
he
ordain'd
,
That
I
at
Manchester
was
Entertain'd
Two
nights
,
and
one
day
,
ere
we
thence
could
passe
,
For
Men
and
Horse
,
Rost
,
boyl'd
,
and
Oates
,
and
Grasse
:
This
Gentleman
,
not
onely
gaue
me
harbor
,
But
in
the
morning
sent
to
me
his
Barber
,
Who
lau'd
,
and
shau'd
me
,
still
I
spard
my
purse
,
Yet
sure
he
left
me
many
a
haire
the
worse
.
But
in
conclusion
,
when
his
worke
was
ended
,
His
Glasse
informd
,
my
face
was
much
amended
.
And
for
the
kindnesse
he
to
me
did
show
,
God
grant
his
Customers
beards
faster
grow
,
That
though
the
time
of
yeare
be
deere
or
cheape
,
From
fruitfull
faces
hee
may
mowe
and
reape
.
Then
came
a
Smith
,
with
Shoes
,
and
Tooth
and
Nayle
,
He
searched
my
Horse
hooues
,
mending
what
did
faile
,
Yet
this
I
note
,
my
Nagge
,
through
stones
and
dirt
,
Did
shift
shoes
twice
,
ere
I
did
shift
one
shirt
:
Can
these
kinde
thinges
be
in
obliuion
hid
?
No
,
Mr.
Prestwitch
,
this
and
much
more
did
,
His
friendship
did
command
,
and
freely
gaue
All
before
writ
,
and
more
then
I
durst
craue
.
But
leauing
him
a
little
,
I
must
tell
,
How
men
of
Manchester
,
did
vse
me
well
,
Their
loues
they
on
the
tenter-hookes
did
racke
,
Rost
,
Boyld
,
Bak'd
,
too
too
much
,
White
,
Claret
,
Sacke
,
Nothing
they
thought
too
heauy
or
too
hot
,
Canne
follow'd
Canne
,
and
Pot
succeeded
Pot
,
That
what
they
could
doe
,
all
they
thought
too
little
,
Striuing
in
loue
the
Traueller
to
whittle
.
We
went
vnto
the
house
of
one
Iohn
Pinners
,
(
A
man
that
liues
amongst
a
crew
of
Sinners
)
And
there
Eight
seuerall
sorts
of
Ale
we
had
,
All
able
to
make
one
starke
drunke
or
mad
.
But
I
with
courage
brauely
flinched
not
,
And
gaue
the
Towne
leaue
to
discharge
the
shot
.
We
had
at
one
time
set
vpon
the
Table
,
Good
Ale
of
Hisope
,
't
was
no
Esope
Fable
:
Then
had
we
Ale
of
Sage
,
and
Ale
of
Malt
,
And
Ale
of
Worme-wood
,
that
can
make
one
halt
,
With
Ale
of
Rosemary
,
and
Bettony
,
And
two
Ales
more
,
or
else
I
needes
must
lye
.
But
to
conclude
this
drinking
A
lye
tale
,
We
had
a
sort
of
Ale
,
called
Scuruy
Ale.
Thus
all
these
men
,
at
their
owne
charge
and
cost
,
Did
striue
whose
loue
might
be
expressed
most
.
And
farther
to
declare
their
boundlesse
loues
,
They
saw
I
wanted
,
and
they
gaue
me
Gloues
,
In
deed
,
and
very
deede
,
their
loues
were
such
,
That
in
their
praise
I
cannot
write
too
much
;
They
merit
more
then
I
haue
here
compil'd
,
I
Lodged
at
the
Eagle
and
the
Childe
,
Whereas
my
Hostesse
,
(
a
good
Auncient
woman
)
Did
entertaine
me
with
respect
,
not
common
.
She
caus'd
my
Linnen
,
Shirts
,
and
Bands
be
washt
,
And
on
my
way
she
caus'd
me
be
refresht
,
She
gaue
me
twelue
Silke
poyntes
,
she
gaue
me
Baken
,
Which
by
me
much
refused
,
at
last
was
taken
,
In
troath
shee
prou'd
a
mother
vnto
me
,
For
which
,
I
euermore
will
thankfull
be
.
But
when
to
minde
these
kindnesses
I
call
,
Kinde
Mr.
Prestwitch
Author
is
of
all
,
And
yet
Sr.
Vrian
Leigh's
good
Commendation
Was
the
maine
ground
of
this
my
Recreation
.
From
both
of
them
;
there
what
I
had
,
I
had
,
Or
else
my
entertainment
had
bin
bad
.
O
all
you
worthy
men
of
Manchester
,
True
bred
blouds
of
the
County
Lancaster
)
When
I
forget
what
you
to
me
haue
done
,
Then
let
me
head-long
to
confusion
runne
.
To
Noble
Mr.
Prestwach
I
must
giue
Thankes
,
vpon
thankes
,
as
long
as
I
doe
liue
,
His
loue
was
such
,
I
ne're
can
pay
the
score
,
He
farre
surpassed
all
that
went
before
,
A
horse
and
man
he
sent
,
with
boundlesse
bounty
,
To
bring
me
quite
through
Lancasters
large
County
.
Which
I
well
know
is
Fifty
miles
at
large
,
And
he
defrayed
all
the
Cost
and
charge
.
This
vnlook'd
pleasure
,
was
to
me
such
pleasure
,
That
I
can
ne're
expresse
my
thankes
with
measure
.
So
Mistresse
Saracoale
,
Hostesse
kinde
,
And
Manchester
with
thankes
I
left
behinde
.
The
Wednesday
being
Iulyes
twenty
nine
,
My
Iourney
I
to
Preston
did
Confine
,
All
the
day
long
it
rayned
but
one
showre
,
Which
from
the
Morning
to
the
Ene'n
did
powre
,
And
I
,
before
to
Preston
I
could
get
,
Was
sowsd
,
and
pickeld
both
with
Raine
and
sweat
.
But
there
I
was
supply'd
,
with
fire
and
food
,
And
any
thing
I
wanted
,
sweete
and
good
.
There
,
at
the
Hinde
,
kinde
Mr.
Hinde
mine
Host
,
Kept
a
good
table
,
Bak'd
and
boyld
,
and
Rost
,
There
Wedensday
,
Thursday
,
Friday
I
did
stay
,
And
hardly
got
from
thence
on
Saturday
.
Vnto
my
Lodging
often
did
repaire
,
Kinde
Mr.
Thomas
Banister
,
the
Mayor
,
Who
is
of
worship
,
and
of
good
Respect
,
And
in
his
Charge
discreet
and
circumspect
.
For
I
protest
to
God
I
neuer
saw
,
A
Towne
more
wisely
Gouern'd
by
the
Law.
They
tolde
me
when
my
Soueraigne
there
was
last
,
That
one
mans
rashnes
,
seem'd
to
giue
distast
▪
It
grieu'd
them
all
,
but
when
at
last
they
found
,
His
Majesty
was
pleasd
,
their
ioyes
were
crown'd
,
He
knew
the
fairest
Garden
hath
some
weedes
,
He
did
accept
their
kinde
intents
,
for
deedess
One
man
there
was
,
that
with
his
zeale
too
hot
.
And
furious
hast
,
himselfe
much
ouer
▪
shot
.
But
what
man
is
so
foolish
,
that
desires
To
get
good
Fruit
,
from
thistles
,
thornes
and
bryers
?
Thus
much
I
thought
good
to
demonstrate
heere
,
Because
I
saw
how
much
they
grieued
were
.
That
any
way
,
the
least
part
of
offence
,
Should
make
them
seeme
offensiue
to
their
Prince
.
Thus
three
nights
was
I
staide
and
lodg'd
in
Preston
,
And
saw
nothing
ridiculous
to
iest
on
,
Much
cost
and
charge
the
Mayor
vpon
me
spent
,
And
on
my
way
two
miles
,
with
me
he
went
,
There
(
by
good
chance
)
I
did
more
friendship
get
,
The
vnder
Shriefe
of
Lancashire
,
we
met
,
A
Gentleman
that
lou'd
,
and
knew
me
well
,
And
one
whose
bounteous
minde
doth
beare
the
bell
.
There
,
as
if
I
had
beene
a
noted
thiefe
,
The
Mayor
deliuered
me
vnto
the
Shriefe
.
The
Shriefes
authority
did
much
preuaile
,
He
sent
me
vnto
one
that
kept
the
Iayle
.
Thus
I
perambulating
,
poore
Iohn
Taylor
,
Was
giu'n
from
Mayor
to
Shriefe
,
from
Shriefe
to
Iaylor
,
The
Iaylor
kept
an
Inne
,
good
beds
,
good
cheere
,
Where
paying
nothing
,
I
found
nothing
deere
.
For
the
vnder
Shriefe
kinde
Maister
Couill
nam'd
,
(
A
man
for
house-keeping
renown'd
and
fam'd
)
Did
cause
the
Towne
of
Lancaster
afford
Me
welcome
,
as
if
I
had
beene
a
Lord.
And
't
is
reported
,
that
for
dayly
bounty
,
His
mate
can
scarce
be
found
in
all
that
County
.
Th'extreames
of
mizer
,
or
of
prodigall
He
shunnes
,
and
liues
discreete
and
liberall
,
His
wiues
minde
,
and
his
owne
are
one
,
so
fixt
,
That
Argos
eyes
could
see
no
oddes
betwixt
,
And
sure
the
difference
,
(
if
there
diff'rence
be
)
Is
who
shall
doe
most
good
,
or
he
,
or
she
.
Poore
folks
reports
,
that
for
releeuing
them
,
He
and
his
wife
,
are
each
of
them
a
Iem
;
At
th'Inne
,
and
at
his
house
two
nights
I
staide
,
And
what
was
to
be
paid
,
I
know
he
paide
;
If
nothing
of
their
kindnesse
I
had
wrote
,
Ingratefull
me
the
world
might
iustly
note
:
Had
I
declar'd
all
I
did
heare
and
see
,
For
a
great
flatt'rer
then
I
deem'd
should
be
,
He
and
his
wife
,
and
modest
daughter
Besse
,
With
Earth
and
Heau'ns
felicity
,
God
blesse
.
Two
dayes
a
man
of
his
at
his
command
,
Did
guide
me
to
the
midst
of
Westmerland
,
And
my
Conductor
,
with
a
liberall
fist
To
keepe
me
moyst
,
scarce
any
Alehouse
mist.
The
fourth
of
August
(
weary
,
halt
,
and
lame
)
We
in
the
darke
,
t
a
Towne
call'd
Sebder
came
,
There
Maister
Borrowd
,
my
kinde
honest
Host
,
Vpon
me
did
bestow
vnasked
cost
.
The
next
day
I
held
on
my
iourney
still
,
Sixe
miles
vnto
a
place
call'd
Carling
hill
,
Where
Maister
Edmond
Branthwaite
doth
recide
,
Who
made
me
welcome
,
with
my
man
and
guide
.
Our
entertainement
,
and
our
fare
was
such
,
It
might
haue
satisfied
our
betters
much
;
Yet
all
too
little
was
,
his
kinde
heart
thought
,
And
fiue
miles
on
my
way
himselfe
me
brought
,
At
Orton
he
,
I
,
and
my
man
did
dine
With
Maister
Corney
,
a
good
true
Diuine
,
And
surely
Maister
Branthwait's
well
belou'd
,
His
firme
integrity
is
much
approu'd
:
His
good
effects
,
doth
make
him
still
affected
Of
God
and
good
men
,
(
with
regard
)
respected
.
He
sent
his
man
with
me
,
o're
Dale
and
Downe
,
Who
lodg'd
,
and
borded
me
at
Peereth
Towne
,
And
such
good
cheere
,
and
bedding
there
I
had
,
That
nothing
,
(
but
my
weary
selfe
)
was
bad
;
There
a
fresh
man
,
(
I
know
not
for
whose
sake
)
With
me
a
iourney
would
to
Carlile
make
;
But
from
that
Citie
,
about
two
miles
wide
Good
Sir
Iohn
Dalston
lodg'd
me
and
my
guide
.
Of
all
the
Gentlemen
in
England
bounds
,
His
house
is
neerest
to
the
Scottish
grounds
,
And
Fame
proclaimes
him
,
farre
and
neere
,
aloud
,
He
's
free
from
being
couetous
,
or
proud
:
His
sonne
Sir
George
,
most
affable
,
and
kinde
,
His
fathers
image
,
both
in
forme
and
minde
:
On
Saturday
to
Carlile
both
did
ride
,
Where
(
by
their
loues
and
leaues
)
I
did
abide
,
Where
of
good
entertainement
I
found
store
,
From
one
that
was
the
Mayor
the
yeare
before
,
His
name
is
Maister
Adam
Robinson
,
I
the
last
English
friendship
with
him
won
.
He
(
gratis
)
found
a
guide
to
bring
me
thorough
,
From
Carlile
to
the
Citie
Edinborough
:
This
was
a
helpe
,
that
was
a
helpe
alone
,
Of
all
my
helps
inferiour
vnto
none
.
Fight
miles
from
Carlile
runnes
a
little
Riuer
,
Which
Englands
bounds
,
from
Scotlands
grounds
doth
seuer
.
Without
Horse
,
Bridge
,
or
Boate
I
o're
did
get
On
foote
,
I
went
yet
scarce
my
shooes
did
wet
.
I
being
come
to
this
long
look'd
for
land
,
Did
marke
,
remarke
,
note
,
renote
,
viewd
and
scand
:
And
I
saw
nothing
that
could
change
my
will
,
But
that
I
thought
my selfe
in
England
still
.
The
Kingdomes
are
so
neerely
ioyn'd
and
fixt
,
There
scarcely
went
a
paire
of
Sheares
betwixt
;
There
I
saw
skie
aboue
,
and
earth
below
,
And
as
in
England
,
there
the
Sunne
did
shew
:
The
hills
with
Sheepe
repleate
,
with
Corne
the
dale
,
And
many
a
cottage
yeelded
good
Scotch
Ale
;
This
County
(
Avandale
)
in
former
times
,
Was
the
curst
climate
of
rebellious
crimes
:
For
Cumberland
and
it
,
both
Kingdomes
borders
,
Were
euer
ordred
,
by
their
owne
disorders
,
Such
sha
king
,
shifting
,
cutting
throates
,
and
thieuing
,
Each
taking
pleasure
,
in
the
others
grieuing
;
And
many
times
he
that
had
wealth
to
night
,
Was
by
the
morrow
morning
beggerd
quite
:
To
many
yeares
this
pell-mell
furie
lasted
,
That
all
these
borders
were
quite
spoyl'd
and
wasted
,
Confusion
,
hurly-burly
raign'd
and
reueld
,
The
Churches
with
the
lowly
ground
were
leueld
;
All
memorable
monuments
defac'd
,
All
places
of
defence
o'rethrowne
and
rac'd
.
That
who
so
then
did
in
the
borders
dwell
,
Liu'd
little
happier
then
those
in
hell
.
But
since
the
all-disposing
God
of
heauen
,
Hath
these
two
Kingdomes
to
one
Monarch
giuen
,
Blest
peace
,
and
plenty
on
them
both
hath
showr'd
Exile
,
and
hanging
hath
the
theeues
deuowr'd
,
That
now
each
subiect
may
securely
sleepe
,
His
Sheepe
,
and
neate
,
the
blacke
the
white
doth
keepe
,
For
now
those
Crownes
are
both
in
one
combinde
Those
former
borders
,
that
each
one
confinde
,
Appeares
to
me
(
as
I
doe
vnderstand
)
To
be
almost
the
Center
of
the
land
,
This
was
a
blessed
heauen
expounded
riddle
,
To
thrust
great
Kingdomes
skirts
into
the
middle
.
Long
may
the
instrumentall
cause
suruiue
From
him
and
his
,
succession
still
deriue
True
heires
vnto
his
vertues
,
and
his
throane
,
That
these
two
Kingdomes
euer
may
be
one
.
This
County
of
all
Scotland
is
most
poore
,
By
reason
of
the
outrages
before
,
Yet
mighty
store
of
Corne
I
saw
there
growe
,
And
as
good
grasse
as
euer
man
did
mowe
:
And
as
that
day
I
twenty
miles
did
passe
,
I
saw
eleuen
hundred
Neat
at
grasse
,
By
which
may
be
coniectur'd
at
the
least
,
That
there
was
sustenance
for
man
and
beast
.
And
in
the
Kingdome
I
haue
truly
scand
,
There
's
many
worser
parts
,
are
better
mand
,
For
in
the
time
that
theeuing
was
in
vre
,
The
Gentles
fled
to
places
more
secure
.
And
left
the
poorer
sort
,
t'
abide
the
paine
,
Whilest
they
could
ne're
finde
time
to
turne
againe
.
That
Shire
of
Gentlemen
is
scarce
and
dainty
,
Yet
there
's
reliefe
in
great
aboundance
plenty
,
Twixt
it
and
England
,
little
oddes
I
see
,
They
eate
,
and
liue
,
and
strong
and
able
bee
,
So
much
in
Verse
,
and
now
I
le
change
my
stile
,
And
seriously
I
'le
write
in
Prose
a
while
.
To
the
purpose
then
;
my
first
nights
Lodging
in
Scotland
was
at
a
place
called
Mophot
,
which
they
say
is
thirty
miles
from
Carlile
,
but
I
suppose
them
to
be
longer
then
forty
of
such
miles
as
are
betwixt
London
and
S.
Albanes
,
(
but
indeed
the
Scots
doe
allow
almost
as
large
measure
of
their
miles
,
as
they
doe
of
their
drinke
,
for
an
English
Gallon
either
of
Ale
or
Wine
,
is
but
their
quart
,
and
one
Scottish
mile
now
and
then
may
well
stand
for
a
mile
and
a
halfe
or
two
English
)
but
howsoeuer
short
or
long
,
I
found
that
dayes
iourney
the
weariest
that
euer
I
footed
;
and
at
night
being
come
to
the
Towne
,
I
found
good
ordinary
Countrey
entertainment
;
my
fare
,
and
my
lodging
was
sweete
and
good
,
and
might
haue
serued
a
far
better
man
then
my selfe
,
although
my selfe
haue
had
many
times
better
:
but
this
is
to
be
noted
,
that
though
it
Rained
not
all
the
day
,
yet
it
was
my
fortune
to
be
well
wet
twise
,
for
I
waded
ouer
a
great
Riuer
called
Eske
in
the
morning
,
somewhat
more
then
4.
miles
distance
from
Carlile
in
England
,
and
at
night
within
two
miles
of
my
lodging
,
I
was
faine
to
wade
ouer
the
Riuer
of
Annan
in
Scotland
,
from
which
Riuer
the
County
of
Annandale
hath
it's
name
.
And
whilst
I
waded
on
foote
,
my
man
was
mounted
on
horse-backe
,
like
the
George
without
the
Dragon
.
But
the
next
morning
,
I
arose
and
left
Mophot
behind
me
,
and
that
day
I
trauailed
twenty
one
miles
to
a
sory
Village
called
Blithe
,
but
I
was
blithe
my selfe
to
come
to
any
place
of
harbour
or
succour
,
for
since
I
was
borne
,
I
neuer
was
so
weary
,
or
so
neere
being
dead
with
extreame
trauell
;
I
was
founderd
and
refounderd
of
all
foure
,
and
for
my
better
comfort
,
I
came
so
late
,
that
I
must
lodge
without
doore
all
night
,
or
else
in
a
poore
house
where
the
good
wife
lay
in
Child-bed
,
her
husband
being
from
home
,
her
owne
seruant
Mayd
being
her
nurse
.
A
Creature
naturally
compacted
and
artificially
adorned
with
incomparable
homelines
;
but
as
thinges
were
I
must
either
take
or
leaue
,
and
necessity
made
me
enter
,
where
we
gat
Egges
and
Ale
by
measure
and
by
tale
.
At
last
to
bed
I
went
,
my
man
lying
on
the
floore
by
me
,
where
in
the
night
there
were
Pidgeons
did
very
bountifully
mute
in
his
face
:
the
day
being
no
sooner
come
,
and
I
hauing
but
fifteene
miles
to
Ederborough
,
mounted
vpon
my
ten
toes
,
and
began
first
to
hobble
,
and
after
to
Amble
,
and
so
being
warme
,
I
fell
to
pace
by
degrees
;
all
the
way
passing
through
a
most
plentifull
,
and
firtill
Countrey
for
Corne
and
Cattle
:
and
about
two
of
the
clocke
in
the
afternoone
that
Wednesday
,
being
the
thirteenth
of
August
,
and
the
day
of
Clare
the
Virgin
(
the
Signe
being
in
Virgo
)
the
Moone
foure
dayes
olde
,
the
winde
at
,
West
,
I
came
to
take
rest
,
at
the
wished
,
long
expected
,
Auncient
famous
Citty
of
Edenborough
,
which
I
entred
like
pierce
penilesse
,
altogether
monyles
,
but
I
thanke
God
not
friendlesse
;
for
being
there
,
for
the
time
of
my
stay
I
might
borrow
,
(
if
any
man
would
lend
)
spend
if
I
could
get
,
begge
if
I
had
the
impudence
,
and
steale
if
I
durst
aduenture
the
price
of
a
hanging
,
but
my
purpose
was
to
house
my
horse
,
and
to
suffer
him
and
my
Apparell
to
Lye
in
durance
,
or
Lauender
in
stead
of
Litter
,
till
such
time
,
as
I
could
meete
with
some
valiant
friend
that
would
desperately
disburse
.
Walking
thus
downe
the
street
,
(
my
body
being
tyred
with
Trauell
,
and
my
minde
attyred
with
moody
,
muddy
,
Moore-ditch
melancholly
)
my
Contemplation
did
deuoutly
pray
,
that
I
might
meete
one
or
other
to
prey
vpon
,
being
willing
to
take
any
slender
acquaintance
of
any
man
whatsoeuer
,
viewing
,
and
circumuiewing
euery
mans
face
I
met
,
as
if
I
meant
to
draw
his
picture
,
but
all
my
acquaintance
was
Non
est
inuentus
,
(
pardon
me
Reader
,
that
Latine
is
none
of
mine
owne
,
I
sweare
by
Priscians
Pericranion
,
an
oath
which
I
haue
ignorantly
broken
many
times
.
)
At
last
I
resolu'd
,
that
the
next
Gentleman
that
I
met
withall
,
should
be
acquaintance
whether
he
would
or
no
,
and
presently
fixing
mine
eyes
vpon
a
Gentleman-like
obiect
,
I
looked
on
him
as
if
I
would
suruay
something
through
him
,
and
make
him
my
perspectiue
:
and
he
much
musing
at
my
gazing
,
and
I
much
gazing
at
his
musing
,
at
last
hee
crost
the
way
and
made
toward
me
,
and
then
I
made
downe
the
streete
from
him
,
leauing
him
to
encounter
with
my
man
who
came
after
me
leading
my
Horse
,
whome
hee
thus
Accosted
.
My
friend
(
quoth
hee
)
doth
yonder
Gentleman
,
(
meaning
mee
)
know
mee
that
he
lookes
so
wistly
on
me
;
truely
Sr.
said
my
man
I
thinke
not
,
but
my
Mr.
is
a
stranger
come
from
London
,
and
would
gladly
meete
with
some
acquaintance
to
direct
him
where
he
may
haue
lodging
and
horse-meate
:
presently
the
Gentleman
,
(
being
of
a
generous
disposition
)
ouer-tooke
me
with
vnexpected
and
vndeserued
courtesie
,
brought
me
to
a
lodging
,
and
caused
my
Horse
to
bee
put
into
his
owne
Stable
,
whilest
we
discoursing
ouer
a
pinte
of
Spanish
.
I
related
asmuch
English
to
him
as
made
him
lend
me
Ten
shillings
,
(
his
name
was
Mr.
Iohn
Maxwell
)
which
money
I
am
sure
was
the
first
that
I
handled
after
I
came
from
out
the
walles
of
London
:
but
hauing
rested
two
houres
and
refreshed
my selfe
,
the
Gentleman
and
I
walked
to
see
the
Citty
,
and
the
Castle
,
which
as
my
poore
vnable
and
vnworthy
pen
can
,
I
will
truely
discribe
.
The
Castle
on
a
loftie
Rocke
is
so
strongly
grounded
,
bounded
,
and
founded
,
that
by
force
of
man
it
can
neuer
bee
confounded
;
the
Foundation
and
Walles
are
vnpenetrable
,
the
Rampiers
Impregnable
,
the
Bulwarkes
Inuincible
,
no
way
but
one
to
it
is
or
can
be
possible
to
be
made
passable
.
In
a
word
,
I
haue
seene
many
Straights
and
Fortresses
,
in
Germany
,
the
Netherlands
,
Spaine
,
and
England
,
but
they
must
all
giue
place
to
this
vnconquered
Castle
both
for
strength
and
Scituation
.
Amongst
the
many
memorable
thinges
which
I
was
shewed
there
,
I
noted
especially
a
Great
peece
of
Ordinance
of
Iron
,
it
is
not
for
batterie
,
but
it
will
serue
to
defend
a
breach
,
or
to
tosse
balles
of
wilde-fire
against
any
that
should
assaile
or
assault
the
Castle
;
it
lyes
now
dismounted
.
And
it
is
so
great
within
,
that
it
was
tolde
mee
that
a
Childe
was
once
gotten
there
,
but
I
to
make
tryall
crept
into
it
,
lying
on
my
backe
,
and
I
am
sure
there
was
Roome
enough
and
spare
for
a
greater
then
my selfe
.
So
leauing
the
Castle
,
as
it
is
both
defenciue
against
any
opposition
,
and
magnificke
for
Lodging
and
Receite
,
I
descend
lower
to
the
Citty
,
wherein
I
obserued
the
fairest
and
goodliest
Street
that
euer
mine
eyes
beheld
,
for
I
did
neuer
see
or
heare
of
a
streete
of
that
length
,
(
which
is
halfe
an
English
mile
from
the
Castle
to
a
faire
Port
which
they
call
the
Neather-bow
)
and
from
that
Port
the
streete
which
they
call
the
Kenny-hate
is
one
quarter
of
a
mile
more
:
downe
to
the
Kings
Pallace
called
Holy-rood-House
,
The
buildings
on
each
side
of
the
way
being
all
of
squared
stone
,
fiue
,
sixe
,
and
seauen
Storyes
high
,
and
many
by
Lanes
and
Closes
on
each
side
of
the
way
,
wherein
are
Gentlemens
houses
,
much
fairer
then
the
buildings
in
the
high
streete
,
for
in
the
High-street
the
Marchants
and
Tradesmen
doe
dwell
,
but
the
Gentlemens
mansions
and
goodliest
Houses
are
obscurely
founded
in
the
aforesaid
Lanes
:
the
Walles
are
eight
or
ten
Foote
thicke
,
exceeding
strong
,
not
built
for
a
day
,
a
weeke
,
or
a
month
,
or
a
yeare
;
but
from
Antiquitie
to
Posteritie
,
for
many
Ages
;
There
I
found
entertainment
beyond
my
expectation
or
merite
,
and
there
is
Fish
,
Flesh
,
Bread
and
Fruite
,
in
such
variety
,
that
I
thinke
I
may
offencelesse
call
it
superfluitie
,
or
sacietie
.
The
worst
was
,
that
Wine
and
Ale
was
so
scarce
,
and
the
people
there
such
Mizers
of
it
,
that
euery
night
before
I
went
to
bed
,
if
any
man
had
asked
mee
a
Ciuill
question
,
all
the
wit
in
my
head
could
not
haue
made
him
a
Sober
answer
.
I
was
at
his
Maiesties
Pallace
,
a
Stately
and
princely
seate
,
wherein
I
saw
a
sumptuous
Chappell
most
richly
adorned
,
with
all
apurtenances
belonging
to
so
sacred
a
place
,
or
so
Royall
an
owner
.
In
the
inner
Court
,
I
saw
the
Kings
Armes
cunningly
carued
in
stone
,
and
fixed
ouer
a
doore
aloft
on
the
wall
,
the
red
Lyon
being
the
Crest
,
ouer
which
was
written
this
inscription
in
Latine
,
Nobis
haec
inuicta
miserunt
,
105.
proaui
.
I
enquired
what
the
English
of
it
was
?
it
was
told
me
as
followeth
,
which
I
thought
worthy
to
be
recorded
.
106.
Fore-fathers
hath
left
this
to
vs
vnconquered
.
This
is
a
worthy
and
a
memorable
Motto
,
and
I
thinke
few
Kingdomes
or
none
in
the
world
can
truly
write
the
like
,
that
notwithstanding
so
many
inroades
▪
incursions
,
attempts
,
assaults
,
ciuill
warres
,
and
forraigne
hostilities
,
bloodie
battels
,
and
mightie
foughten
fields
,
that
maugre
the
strength
and
pollicie
of
enemies
,
that
Royall
Crowne
and
Scepter
hath
from
one
hundred
and
seauen
descents
,
keepe
still
vnconquered
,
and
by
the
power
of
the
King
of
Kings
(
through
the
grace
of
the
Prince
of
peace
)
is
now
left
peacefully
to
our
peacefull
King
,
whom
long
in
blessed
peace
,
the
God
of
peace
defend
and
gouerne
.
But
once
more
,
a
word
or
two
of
Edinborough
,
although
I
haue
scarcely
giuen
it
that
due
which
belongs
vnto
it
,
for
their
lofty
and
stately
buildings
,
and
for
their
faire
and
spacious
streete
,
yet
my
minde
perswades
me
that
they
in
former
ages
that
first
founded
that
Citie
,
did
not
so
well
in
that
they
built
it
in
so
discommodious
a
place
;
for
the
Sea
,
and
all
nauigable
Riuers
,
being
the
chiefe
meanes
for
the
enriching
of
Townes
and
Cities
,
by
the
reason
of
Traffique
with
forraigne
Nations
,
with
exportation
,
transportation
,
and
receite
of
variety
of
Marchantdizing
;
so
this
Citie
had
it
beene
built
but
one
mile
lower
on
the
Sea
side
,
I
doubt
not
but
it
had
long
before
this
beene
comparable
to
many
a
one
of
our
greatest
Townes
and
Cities
in
Europe
,
both
for
spaciousnesse
of
bounds
,
Port
,
state
,
and
riches
.
It
is
said
that
King
Iames
the
fifth
(
of
famous
memorie
)
did
graciously
offer
to
purchase
for
them
,
and
to
bestow
vpon
them
freely
,
certaine
lowe
and
pleasant
grounds
a
mile
from
them
on
the
Sea
shore
,
with
these
conditions
,
that
they
should
pull
downe
their
Citie
,
and
build
it
in
that
more
commodious
place
,
but
the
Citizens
refused
it
:
and
so
now
it
is
like
(
for
me
)
to
stand
where
it
doth
,
for
I
doubt
such
another
proffer
of
remoueall
will
not
be
presented
to
them
,
till
two
dayes
after
the
Faire
.
Now
haue
with
you
for
Leeth
,
whereto
I
no
sooner
came
,
but
I
was
well
entertained
by
Mr.
Barnard
Lindsay
,
one
of
the
Groomes
of
his
Maiesties
Bed-chamber
,
hee
knew
my
estate
was
not
guilty
,
because
I
brought
no
guilt
with
mee
(
more
then
my
sinnes
,
and
they
would
not
passe
for
current
there
)
hee
therefore
did
replenish
the
vaustity
of
my
emptie
purse
,
and
discharged
a
peece
at
mee
with
two
bullets
of
gold
,
each
being
in
value
worth
eleuen
shillings
white
money
:
and
I
was
credibly
informed
that
within
the
compasse
of
one
yeare
,
there
was
shipped
away
from
that
onely
Port
of
Leeth
,
fourescore
thousand
Boles
of
Wheate
,
Oates
,
and
Barley
,
into
Spaine
,
France
,
and
other
forraigne
parts
,
and
euery
Bole
containes
the
measure
of
foure
English
bushels
,
so
that
from
Leeth
onely
hath
beene
transported
three
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
bushels
of
Corne
;
besides
some
hath
beene
shipped
away
from
St.
Andrewes
,
from
Dundee
,
Aberdeene
,
Disert
,
Kirkady
,
Kinghorne
,
Burnt-Iland
,
Dunbar
,
and
other
portable
Townes
,
which
makes
mee
to
wonder
that
a
Kingdome
so
populous
as
it
is
,
should
neuerthelesse
sell
so
much
bread
corne
beyond
the
Seas
,
and
yet
to
haue
more
then
sufficient
for
themselues
.
So
I
hauing
viewed
the
Hauen
and
Towne
of
Leeth
,
tooke
a
passage
Boate
to
see
the
new
wondrous
Well
,
to
which
many
a
one
that
is
not
well
,
comes
farre
and
neere
in
hope
to
be
made
well
:
indeede
I
did
heare
that
it
had
done
much
good
,
and
that
it
hath
a
rare
operation
to
expell
or
kill
diuers
maladies
;
as
to
prouoke
appetite
,
to
helpe
much
for
the
auoyding
of
the
grauell
in
the
bladder
,
to
cure
sore
eyes
,
and
olde
vlcers
,
with
many
other
vertues
which
it
hath
,
but
I
(
through
the
mercy
of
God
hauing
no
neede
of
it
,
did
make
no
great
inquisition
what
it
had
done
,
but
for
nouelty
I
dranke
of
it
,
and
I
found
the
taste
to
be
more
pleasant
then
any
other
water
,
sweet
almost
as
milke
,
yet
as
cleare
as
cristall
,
and
I
did
obserue
that
though
a
man
did
drinke
a
quart
,
a
pottell
,
or
as
much
as
his
belly
could
containe
,
yet
it
neuer
offended
or
lay
heauie
vpon
the
stomacke
,
no
more
then
if
one
had
dranke
but
a
pint
or
a
small
quantity
.
I
went
two
miles
from
it
to
a
towne
called
Burnt-Iland
,
where
I
found
many
of
my
especiall
good
friends
,

Master

and
the
good
olde
Captaine
Murray
,
did
very
bountifully
furnish
mee
with
gold
for
my
expences
,
but
I
being
at
dinner
with
those
aforesaid
Gentlemen
,
as
we
were
discoursing
,
there
befell
a
strange
accident
,
which
I
thinke
worth
the
relating
.
I
know
not
vpon
what
occasion
they
began
to
talke
of
being
at
Sea
in
former
times
,
and
I
(
amongst
the
rest
)
said
I
was
at
the
taking
of
Cales
,
whereto
an
English
Gentleman
replied
,
that
he
was
the
next
good
voyage
after
at
the
Ilands
:
I
answered
him
that
I
was
there
also
.
He
demanded
in
what
Ship
I
was
?
I
tolde
him
in
the
Rainebowe
of
the
Queenes
,
why
(
quoth
hee
)
doe
you
not
know
mee
?
I
was
in
the
same
Ship
,
and
my
name
is
Witherington
.
Sir
,
said
I
,
I
doe
remember
the
name
well
,
but
by
reason
that
it
is
neere
two
and
twenty
yeeres
since
I
saw
you
,
I
may
well
forget
the
knowledge
of
you
:
well
,
said
hee
,
if
you
were
in
that
Ship
,
I
pray
you
tell
me
some
remarkable
token
that
happened
in
the
voyage
:
whereupon
I
tolde
him
two
or
three
tokens
which
hee
did
know
to
be
true
.
Nay
then
said
I
,
I
will
tell
you
another
which
(
perhaps
)
you
haue
not
forgotten
;
as
our
Ship
and
the
rest
of
the
fleete
did
ride
at
Anchor
at
the
I
le
of
Flores
(
one
of
the
Isles
of
the
Azores
)
there
were
some
fourteene
men
and
boyes
of
our
Ship
,
that
for
nouelty
would
goe
a
shore
,
and
see
what
fruit
the
I
land
did
beare
,
and
what
entertainement
it
would
yeeld
vs
:
so
being
landed
,
wee
went
vp
and
downe
and
could
finde
nothing
but
stones
,
heath
and
mosse
,
and
wee
expected
Oranges
,
Limonds
,
Figges
,
Muske-millions
,
and
Potatoes
:
in
the
meane
space
the
winde
did
blow
so
stiffe
,
and
the
Sea
was
so
extreame
rough
,
that
our
Ship-boate
could
not
come
to
the
land
to
fetch
vs
,
for
feare
she
should
be
beaten
in
pieces
against
the
rockes
;
this
continued
fiue
dayes
,
so
that
wee
were
all
almost
famished
for
want
of
foode
:
but
at
last
(
I
squandring
vp
and
downe
)
by
the
prouidence
of
God
I
happened
into
a
Caue
or
poore
habitation
,
where
I
found
fifteene
loaues
of
bread
,
each
of
the
quantity
of
a
penny
loafe
in
England
,
I
hauing
a
valiant
stomacke
of
the
age
of
almost
120.
houres
breeding
,
fell
too
,
and
eate
two
loaues
and
neuer
said
grace
:
and
as
I
was
about
to
make
a
Horse-loafe
of
the
third
loafe
,
I
did
put
12.
of
them
into
my
breeches
,
and
my
sleeues
,
and
so
went
mumbling
out
of
the
Caue
,
leaning
my
backe
against
a
tree
,
when
vpon
the
sodaine
a
Gentleman
came
to
me
and
saide
,
friend
what
are
you
eating
,
bread
quoth
I
,
for
Gods
sake
said
hee
giue
me
some
,
with
that
I
put
my
hand
into
my
breech
,
(
beeing
my
best
pantrey
)
and
I
gaue
him
a
Loafe
,
which
hee
receiued
with
many
thankes
,
and
saide
that
if
euer
hee
could
requite
it
hee
would
.
I
had
no
sooner
tolde
this
tale
but
Sr.
Henry
Witherington
did
acknowledge
himselfe
to
bee
the
man
that
I
had
giuen
the
Loafe
vnto
22.
yeares
before
,
where
I
found
the
Prouerbe
true
that
men
haue
more
priuiledge
then
mountaines
in
meeting
.
In
what
great
measure
,
hee
did
requite
so
small
a
courtesie
,
I
will
relate
in
this
following
discourse
in
my
Returne
through
Northumberland
:
So
leauing
my
man
at
the
towne
of
Burnt
Iland
,
I
tolde
him
,
I
would
but
goe
to
Sterling
,
and
see
the
Castle
there
,
and
withall
to
see
my
honourable
friends
the
Earle
of
Marr
,
and
Sir
William
Murray
Knight
,
Lord
of
Abercarny
,
and
that
I
would
returne
within
two
dayes
at
the
most
:
But
it
fell
out
quite
contrary
;
for
it
was
fiue
and
thirtie
dayes
before
I
could
get
backe
againe
out
of
these
Noble-mens
company
.
The
whole
progresse
of
my
trauell
with
them
,
and
the
cause
of
my
stay
,
I
cannot
with
gratefulnesse
omit
;
and
thus
it
was
.
A
worthy
Gentleman
,
named
Master
Iohn
Fenton
,
did
bring
mee
on
my
way
sixe
miles
,
to
Dumfermling
,
where
I
was
well
entertained
,
and
lodged
at
Master
Iohn
Gibb
his
house
,
one
of
the
Groomes
of
his
Maiesties
Bed-chamber
,
and
I
thinke
the
oldest
Seruant
the
King
hath
:
withall
I
was
well
entertained
there
by
Master
Crighton
at
his
owne
house
,
who
went
with
mee
,
and
shewed
mee
the
Queenes
Palace
;
(
a
delicate
and
a
princely
Mansion
)
withall
I
saw
the
ruines
of
an
auncient
and
stately
built
Abbey
,
with
faire
Gardens
,
Orchards
,
and
Medowes
belonging
to
the
palace
:
all
which
with
faire
and
goodly
Reuenues
,
by
the
suppression
of
the
Abbey
,
were
annexed
to
the
Crowne
.
There
also
I
saw
a
very
faire
Church
,
which
though
it
be
now
very
large
and
spacious
,
yet
it
hath
in
former
times
been
much
larger
.
But
I
taking
my
leaue
of
Dumfermling
,
would
needs
goe
and
see
the
truely
noble
Knight
Sir
George
Bruce
,
at
a
Towne
called
the
Cooras
:
there
hee
made
mee
right
welcome
,
both
with
varietie
of
fare
,
and
discourse
;
and
after
all
,
hee
commaunded
three
of
his
men
to
direct
mee
to
see
his
most
admirable
Cole-mines
;
which
(
if
man
can
or
could
worke
wonders
)
is
a
wonder
:
for
my selfe
neither
in
any
trauels
that
I
haue
been
in
,
nor
any
History
that
I
haue
read
,
or
any
Discourse
that
I
haue
heard
,
did
neuer
see
,
reade
,
or
heare
of
any
worke
of
man
that
might
parallell
or
be
equiualent
with
this
vnfellowed
and
vnmatchable
worke
:
and
though
all
I
can
say
of
it
,
cannot
describe
it
according
to
the
worthinesse
of
his
vigilant
industry
,
that
was
both
the
occasion
,
Inuentor
,
and
Maintainer
of
it
:
yet
rather
then
the
memory
of
so
rare
an
Enterprise
,
and
so
accomplisht
a
profit
to
the
Common-wealth
shall
bee
raked
and
smothered
in
the
dust
of
obliuion
,
I
will
giue
a
little
touch
at
the
description
of
it
,
although
I
amongst
Writers
,
am
like
he
that
worst
may
,
holds
the
candle
.
The
Mine
hath
two
wayes
into
it
,
the
one
by
sea
and
the
other
by
land
;
but
a
man
may
go
into
it
by
land
,
and
returne
the
same
way
if
he
please
,
and
so
he
may
enter
into
it
by
sea
,
and
by
Sea
hee
may
come
foorth
of
it
:
but
I
for
varieties
sake
went
in
by
Sea
,
and
out
by
Land.
Now
men
may
obiect
,
how
can
a
man
goe
into
a
Mine
,
the
entrance
of
it
being
in
the
Sea
,
but
that
the
Sea
wil
follow
him
and
so
drown
the
Mine
.
To
which
obiection
thus
I
answer
,
That
at
a
low
water
,
the
Sea
being
ebd
away
,
and
a
great
part
of
the
sand
bare
;
vpon
this
same
sand
(
beeing
mixed
with
rockes
and
cragges
)
did
the
Master
of
this
great
worke
build
a
round
circular
frame
of
stone
,
very
thicke
,
strong
,
and
ioyned
together
with
glutinous
or
bitunous
matter
,
so
high
withall
▪
that
the
Sea
at
the
highest
flood
,
or
the
greatest
rage
of
storme
or
tempest
,
can
neither
dissolue
the
stones
so
well
compacted
in
the
building
,
or
yet
ouerflowe
the
height
of
it
.
Within
this
round
frame
,
(
at
all
aduentures
)
hee
did
set
workemen
to
digge
vvith
Mattockes
,
Pickaxes
,
and
other
instruments
fit
for
such
purposes
.
They
did
digge
more
then
fourtie
foot
downeright
,
into
and
through
a
Rocke
.
At
last
they
found
that
which
they
expected
,
which
was
Sea-cole
,
they
following
the
veine
of
the
Mine
,
did
digge
forward
still
:
So
that
in
the
space
of
eight
and
twentie
,
or
nine
and
twenty
yeares
they
haue
digged
more
then
an
English
mile
under
the
Sea
,
that
when
men
are
at
worke
belowe
,
an
hundred
of
the
greatest
Shippes
in
Britaine
may
saile
ouer
their
●●●ads
.
Besides
,
the
Mine
is
most
artificially
cut
like
an
Arch
or
a
Vault
all
that
great
length
,
vvith
many
nookes
and
by-wayes
in
it
:
and
it
is
so
made
,
that
a
man
may
walke
vpright
in
the
most
places
,
both
in
and
out
.
Many
poore
people
are
there
set
on
worke
,
which
otherwise
through
the
want
of
imployment
would
perish
.
But
when
I
had
seene
the
Mine
,
and
was
come
foorth
of
it
againe
;
after
my
thankes
giuen
to
Sir
George
Bruce
,
I
tolde
him
,
that
if
the
plotters
of
the
Powder
Treason
in
England
had
seene
this
Mine
,
that
they
(
perhaps
)
would
haue
attempted
to
haue
left
the
Parliament
House
,
and
haue
vndermined
the
Thames
,
and
so
to
haue
blowne
vp
the
Barges
and
Wherries
,
wherein
the
King
,
and
all
the
Estates
of
our
Kingdome
were
.
Moreouer
,
I
said
that
I
could
affoord
to
turne
Tapster
at
London
:
so
that
I
had
but
one
quarter
of
a
mile
of
his
Mine
to
make
mee
a
Celler
,
to
keepe
Beere
and
Bottle-ale
in
.
But
leauing
these
Iestes
in
Prose
,
I
will
relate
a
few
Verses
that
I
made
merrily
of
this
Mine
.
I
That
haue
wasted
Months
,
Weekes
,
Dayes
and
Howers
In
viewing
Kingdomes

,

and

Without

measuring
many
paces
,
And
with
my
pen
describing
sundrie
places
,
With
few
additions
of

(
Because
I
haue

Nor
Britaines
Odcomb
(
Zanye

In
all

ambling
saw
the
like

this
is

I
was
in
(
would
I
could
describe
it
well
)
A
darke
,
light
,
pleasant
,
profitable
hell
,
And
as
by
water
I
was
wafted
in
,
I
thought
that
I
in
Charons
Boate
had
bin
:
But
being
at
the
entrance
landed
thus
,
Three
men
there
(
in
the
stead
of
Cerberus
)
Conuaid
me
in
,
in
each
ones
hand
a

There

There

and
there

rowles

Yet
all
I

And

Then

Was

Thus

Thus
in
by

out

I
past
,
And
tooke
my
leaue
of
good
Sir
George
at
last
.
The
Sea
at
certaine
places
doth
leake
,
or
soake
into
the
Mine
,
which
by
the
industry
of
Sir
George
Bruce
,
is
all
conueyd
to
one
well
neere
the
land
;
where
hee
hath
a
deuise
like
a
horsemill
that
with
three
horses
and
a
great
chaine
of
Iron
,
going
downeward
many
fadomes
,
with
thirty
sixe
buckets
fastened
to
the
chaine
,
of
the
which
eighteene
goes
downe
still
to
be
filled
,
and
eighteene
ascends
vp
to
be
emptied
,
which
doe
empty
themselues
(
without
any
mans
labour
)
into
a
trough
that
conueyes
the
water
into
the
Sea
againe
;
by
which
meanes
he
saues
his
Myne
which
otherwise
would
be
destroyed
with
the
Sea
,
beside
he
doth
make
euery
weeke
ninety
or
an
hundred
Tuns
of
salt
,
which
doth
serue
part
of
Scotland
,
some
hee
sends
into
England
,
and
very
much
into
Germany
:
all
which
shewes
the
painefull
industry
with
Gods
blessings
to
such
worthy
endeauours
:
I
must
with
many
thankes
remember
his
courtesie
to
mee
,
and
lastly
,
how
he
sent
his
man
to
guide
me
ten
miles
on
the
way
to
Sterling
,
where
by
the
way
I
saw
the
outside
of
a
faire
and
stately
house
called
Allaway
,
belonging
to
the
Earle
of
Marr
,
which
by
reason
that
his
Honor
was
not
there
,
I
past
by
and
went
to
Sterling
,
where
I
was
entertained
and
lodged
at
one
Mr.
Iohn
Archibalds
,
where
all
my
want
was
that
I
wanted
roome
to
containe
halfe
the
good
cheere
that
I
might
haue
had
there
;
hee
had
me
into
the
Castle
,
which
in
few
words
I
doe
compare
to
Windsor
for
scituation
,
much
more
then
Windsor
in
strength
,
and
somewhat
lesse
in
greatnes
;
yet
I
dare
affirme
,
that
his
Majesty
hath
not
such
another
hall
to
any
house
that
he
hath
neither
in
England
nor
Scotland
,
except
Westminster
Hall
which
is
now
no
dwelling
Hall
for
a
Prince
being
long
since
metamorphosed
into
a
house
for
the
Law
and
the
profits
.
This
goodly
Hall
was
built
by
King
Iames
the
fourth
,
that
married
King
Henry
the
eights
sister
and
after
was
slaine
at
Flodden
field
;
but
it
surpasses
all
the
halls
for
dwelling
houses
that
euer
I
saw
,
for
length
,
breadth
,
height
and
strength
of
building
,
the
Castle
is
built
vpon
a
rocke
very
lofty
,
and
much
beyond
Edenborough
Castle
in
state
and
magnificence
,
and
not
much
inferiour
to
it
in
strength
,
the
roomes
of
it
are
lofty
,
with
carued
workes
on
the
seelings
,
the
doores
of
each
roome
beeing
so
high
that
a
man
may
ride
vpright
on
horsebacke
into
any
chamber
or
lodging
.
There
is
also
a
goodly
faire
Chappell
,
with
Cellers
,
Stables
,
and
all
other
necessary
Offices
,
all
very
stately
and
besitting
the
Maiestie
of
a
King.
From
Sterling
I
rode
to
Saint
Iohnston
,
a
fine
Towne
it
is
,
but
it
is
much
decayed
,
by
reason
of
the
want
of
his
Maiesties
yearely
comming
to
lodge
there
.
There
I
lodged
one
night
at
an
Inne
,
the
Goodman
of
the
house
his
name
being
Patrick
Pettcarne
,
where
my
entertainement
was
with
good
cheere
,
good
drinke
,
good
lodging
,
all
too
good
to
a
bad
weary
guest
.
Mine
Host
tolde
mee
that
the
Earle
of
Marr
and
Sir
William
Murray
of
Abercarny
were
gone
to
the
great
hunting
to
the
Brea
of
Marre
;
but
if
I
made
hast
I
might
perhaps
finde
them
at
a
Towne
called
Breekin
,
or
Breechin
,
two
and
thirty
miles
from
Saint
Iohns
Stone
,
wherevpon
I
tooke
a
guide
to
Breekin
the
next
day
,
but
before
I
came
,
my
Lord
was
gone
from
thence
foure
dayes
.
Then
I
tooke
another
guide
,
which
brought
mee
such
strange
wayes
ouer
mountaines
and
rockes
,
that
I
thinke
my
horse
neuer
went
the
like
;
and
I
am
sure
I
neuer
saw
any
wayes
that
might
fellow
them
.
I
did
goe
through
a
Country
called
Glaneske
,
where
passing
by
the
side
of
a
hill
,
so
steepe
as
is
the
ridge
of
a
house
,
where
the
way
was
rocky
,
and
not
aboue
a
yard
broad
in
some
places
,
so
fearefull
and
horrid
it
was
to
looke
downe
into
the
bottome
,
for
if
either
horse
or
man
had
slipt
,
he
had
fallen
(
without
recouery
)
a
good
mile
downe-right
;
but
I
thanke
God
,
at
night
I
came
to
a
lodging
in
the
Lard
of
Eggells
Land
,
where
I
lay
at
an
Irish
house
,
the
folkes
not
being
able
to
speake
scarce
any
English
,
but
I
sup'd
and
went
to
bed
,
where
I
had
not
laine
long
but
I
was
enforced
to
rise
,
I
was
so
stung
with
Irish
Musketaes
,
a
Creature
that
hath
sixe
legs
,
&
liues
like
a
monster
altogether
vpon
mans
flesh
,
they
doe
inhabite
and
breed
in
most
sluttish
houses
,
and
this
house
was
none
of
the
cleanliest
,
the
beast
is
much
like
a
louse
in
England
,
both
in
shape
and
nature
;
in
a
word
they
were
to
me
the
A.
and
the
Z.
the
Prologue
and
the
Epilogue
,
the
first
and
the
last
that
I
had
in
all
my
trauells
from
Edenborough
;
and
had
not
this
highland
Irish
house
helped
mee
at
a
pinch
,
I
should
haue
sworne
that
all
Scotland
had
not
beene
so
kind
as
to
haue
bestowed
a
Louse
vpon
me
:
but
with
a
shift
that
I
had
,
I
shifted
off
my
Caniballs
,
and
was
neuer
more
troubled
with
them
.
The
next
day
I
trauelled
ouer
an
exceeding
high
mountaine
,
called
mount
Skeene
,
where
I
found
the
valley
very
warme
before
I
went
vp
it
;
but
when
I
came
to
the
top
of
it
,
my
teeth
beganne
to
daunce
in
my
head
with
colde
,
like
Virginall
iackes
;
and
withall
,
a
most
familiar
mist
embraced
mee
round
,
that
I
could
not
see
thrice
my
length
any
way
:
withall
,
it
yeelded
so
friendly
a
deaw
,
that
it
did
moysten
through
all
my
clothes
:
Where
the
olde
Prouerbe
of
a
Scottish
Miste
was
verified
,
in
wetting
mee
to
the
skinne
.
Vp
and
downe
,
I
thinke
this
hill
is
sixe
miles
,
the
way
so
vneuen
,
stonie
,
and
full
of
bogges
,
quagmires
,
and
long
heath
,
that
a
dogge
with
three
legs
will
outrunne
a
horse
with
foure
:
for
doe
what
we
could
,
wee
were
foure
houres
before
we
could
passe
it
.
Thus
with
extreame
trauell
,
ascending
and
descending
,
mounting
&
alighting
,
I
came
at
night
to
the
place
where
I
would
bee
,
in
the
Brea
of
Marr
,
which
is
a
large
Countie
,
all
composed
of
such
mountaines
,
that
Shooters
Hill
,
Gads
Hill
,
Highgate
Hill
,
Hampsted
hill
,
Birdlip
hill
,
or
Maluerne
hilles
,
are
but
Mole
▪
hilles
in
comparison
,
or
like
a
Liuer
,
or
a
Gizard
vnder
a
Capons
wing
,
in
respect
of
the
altitude
of
their
toppes
,
or
perpendicularitie
of
their
bottomes
.
There
I
saw
Mount
Benawne
,
with
a
furr'd
mist
vpon
his
snowie
head
in
stead
of
a
nightcap
:
(
for
you
must
vnderstand
,
that
the
oldest
man
aliue
neuer
saw
but
the
snow
was
on
the
top
of
diuers
of
those
hilles
,
both
in
Summer
,
as
well
as
in
Winter
.
)
There
did
I
finde
the
truely
Noble
and
Right
Honourable
Lords
,
Iohn
Erskin
Earle
of
Marr
,
Iames
Stuart
Earle
of
Murray
,
George
Gordon
Earle
of
Engye
,
sonne
and
heire
to
the
Marquesse
of
Huntley
,
Iames
Erskin
,
Earle
of
Bughan
,
and
Iohn
Lord
Erskin
,
sonne
and
heire
to
the
Earle
of
Marre
,
and
their
Countesses
,
with
my
much
honoured
,
and
my
best
assured
and
approoued
friend
,
Sir
William
Murray
Knight
,
of
Abercarnye
,
and
hundred
of
others
Knights
,
Esquires
,
and
their
followers
;
all
and
euery
man
in
generall
in
one
habit
,
as
if
Licurgus
had
beene
there
and
made
Lawes
of
Equalitie
:
For
once
in
the
yeare
,
which
is
the
whole
moneth
of
August
,
and
sometimes
part
of
September
;
many
of
the
Nobilitie
and
Gentry
of
the
Kingdome
(
for
their
pleasure
)
doe
come
into
these
high-land
Countreyes
to
hunt
,
where
they
doe
all
conforme
themselues
to
the
habite
of
the
high-land
men
,
who
for
the
most
part
speake
nothing
but
Irish
;
and
in
former
time
were
those
people
which
were
called
the
Redshankes
:
Their
habite
is
shooes
with
but
one
sole
apiece
;
stockings
(
which
they
call
short
hose
)
made
of
a
warme
stuffe
of
diuers
colours
,
which
they
call
Tartane
:
as
for
breeches
,
many
of
them
,
nor
their
forefathers
neuer
wore
any
,
but
a
ierkin
of
the
same
stuffe
that
their
hose
is
of
,
their
garters
beeing
bands
or
wreathes
of
hay
or
straw
,
with
a
plead
about
their
shoulders
,
which
is
a
mantle
of
diuers
colours
,
much
finer
and
lighter
stuffe
then
their
hose
,
with
blew
flat
caps
on
their
heads
,
a
handkerchiefe
knit
with
two
knots
about
their
neckes
:
and
thus
are
they
attyred
.
Now
their
weapons
are
long
bowes
,
and
forked
arrowes
,
Swords
and
Targets
,
Harquebusses
,
Muskets
,
Durks
and
Loquhabor
Axes
.
With
these
Armes
I
found
many
of
them
armed
for
the
hunting
.
As
for
their
Attire
,
any
man
of
what
degree
soeuer
that
comes
amongst
them
,
must
not
disdaine
to
weare
it
:
for
if
they
doe
,
then
they
will
disdaine
to
hunt
,
or
willingly
to
bring
in
their
dogges
:
but
if
men
bee
kinde
vnto
them
,
and
bee
in
their
habit
;
then
are
they
conquered
with
kindnesse
,
and
the
sport
will
be
plentifull
.
This
was
the
reason
that
I
found
so
many
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
in
those
shapes
.
But
to
proceed
to
the
Hunting
.
My
good
Lord
of
Marr
hauing
put
me
into
that
shape
,
I
rode
with
him
from
his
house
,
where
I
saw
the
ruines
of
an
olde
Castle
,
called
the
Castle
of
Kindroghit
.
It
was
built
by
King
Malcolm
Canmore
(
for
a
hunting
horse
)
who
raigned
in
Scotland
when
Edward
the
Confessor
,
Harold
,
and
Norman
William
raigned
in
England
:
I
speake
of
it
,
because
it
was
the
last
house
that
I
saw
in
those
parts
;
for
I
was
the
space
of
twelue
dayes
after
,
before
I
saw
either
house
,
corne
fielde
,
or
habitation
for
any
creature
,
but
Deere
,
wilde
Horses
,
Wolues
,
and
such
like
Creatures
,
which
made
mee
doubt
that
I
should
neuer
haue
seene
a
house
againe
.
Thus
the
first
day
wee
traueld
8.
miles
,
where
there
were
small
cottages
built
on
purpose
to
lodge
in
,
which
they
call
Lonquhards
,
I
thanke
my
good
Lord
Erskin
,
he
commanded
that
I
should
alwayes
bee
lodged
in
his
lodging
,
the
Kitchin
being
alwayes
on
the
side
of
a
banke
,
many
Kettles
and
Pots
boyling
,
and
many
spits
turning
and
winding
,
with
great
variety
of
cheere
:
as
Venison
bak't
,
sodden
,
rost
,
and
stu'de
Beefe
,
Mutton
,
Goates
,
Kid
,
Hares
,
fresh
Salmon
,
Pidgeons
,
Hens
,
Capons
,
Chickins
,
Partridge
,
Moorecoots
,
Heathcocks
,
Caperkellies
and
Termagants
;
good
Ale
,
Sacke
,
White
and
Claret
,
Tent
(
or
Allegant
)
with
most
potent
Aqua
vitae
.
All
these
and
more
then
these
wee
had
continually
,
in
superfluous
aboundance
,
caught
by
Faulconers
,
Foulers
,
and
Fishers
,
and
brought
by
my
Lords
tenants
and
purueyers
to
victuall
our
Campe
,
which
consisted
of
fourteene
or
fifteene
hundred
men
and
horses
;
the
manner
of
the
hunting
is
this
.
Fiue
or
sixe
hundred
men
doe
rise
early
in
the
morning
,
and
they
doe
disperse
themselues
diuers
wayes
,
and
7.8
.
or
10.
miles
compasse
they
doe
bring
or
chase
in
the
Deere
in
many
heards
,
(
two
,
three
,
or
foure
hundred
in
a
heard
)
to
such
or
such
a
place
as
the
Noblemen
shall
appoint
them
;
then
when
day
is
come
,
the
Lords
and
Gentlemen
of
their
Companies
,
doe
ride
or
goe
to
the
said
places
,
sometimes
wading
vp
to
the
middles
through
bournes
and
riuers
:
and
then
they
being
come
to
the
place
,
doe
lye
downe
on
the
ground
,
till
those
foresaid
Scouts
which
are
called
the
Tinckhell
do
bring
downe
the
Deere
:
But
as
the
Prouerbe
sayes
of
a
bad
Cooke
,
so
these
Tinkhell
men
doe
lick
their
owne
fingers
;
for
besides
their
bowes
and
arrowes
which
they
carry
with
them
,
wee
can
heare
now
and
then
a
harguebuse
or
a
musquet
goe
off
,
which
they
doe
seldome
discharge
in
vaine
:
Then
after
wee
had
stayed
three
houres
or
thereabouts
,
wee
might
perceiue
the
Deere
appeare
on
the
hills
round
about
vs
,
(
their
heads
making
a
shew
like
a
wood
)
which
being
followed
close
by
the
Tinkhell
,
are
chased
downe
into
the
valley
where
wee
lay
;
then
all
the
valley
on
each
side
being
way-laid
with
a
hundred
couple
of
strong
Irish
Grey-hounds
,
they
are
let
loose
as
occasion
serues
vpon
the
heard
of
Deere
,
that
with
Dogges
,
Gunnes
,
Arrowes
,
Durks
and
Daggers
,
in
the
space
of
two
houres
fourescore
fat
Deere
were
slaine
,
which
after
are
disposed
of
some
one
way
and
some
another
,
twenty
or
thirty
miles
,
and
more
then
enough
left
for
vs
to
make
merry
withall
at
our
Rendeuouze
.
I
liked
the
sport
so
well
,
that
I
made
these
two
Sonnets
following
.
WHy
should
I
wast
Inuention
to
endite
,
Ouidian
fictions
,
or
Olympian
games
?
My
misty
Muse
enlightened
with
more
light
,
To
a
more
noble
pitch
her
ayme
She
frames
.
I
must
relate
to
my
great
Maister
IAMES
,
The
Calydonian
anuall
peacefull
warre
;
How
noble
mindes
doe
eternize
their
fames
By
martiall
meeting
in
the
Brea
of
Marr
:
How
thousand
gallant
Spirits
come
neere
and
farre
,
With
Swords
and
Targets
,
Arrowes
,
Bowes
and
Gunnes
,
That
all
the
Troope
to
men
of
iudgement
,
are
The
God
of
Warres
great
neuer
conquered
Sonnes
.
The
Sport
is
Manly
,
yet
none
bleed
but
Beasts
,
And
last
,
the
Victors
on
the
Vanquisht
feasts
.
IF
Sport
like
this
can
on
the
Mountaines
bee
,
Where
Phoebus
flames
can
neuer
melt
the
Snow
:
Then
let
who
lift
delight
in
Vales
below
,
Skie-kissing
Mountaine
pleasures
are
for
me
:
What
brauer
obiect
can
mans
eyesight
see
,
Then
Noble
,
Worshipfull
,
and
worthy
wights
,
As
if
they
were
prepard
for
sundry
fights
,
Yet
all
in
sweet
society
agree
:
Through
Heather
,
Mosse
,
'mongst

and

,
and

,
Mongst
craggy
cliffes
,
and

,
Hares

,
Where
two

Low

,
your
Sports
are
low
as
is
your
Seate
,
The
High-land
Games
and
Minds
,
are
high
and
great
.
Beeing
come
to
our
lodgings
,
there
was
such
Baking
,
Boyling
,
Rosting
,
and
Stewing
,
as
if
Cooke
Ruffian
had
beene
there
to
haue
scalded
the
Deuill
in
his
feathers
:
and
after
supper
a
fire
of
firre
wood
as
high
as
an
indifferent
May-pole
:
for
I
assure
you
,
that
the
Earle
of
Marre
will
giue
any
man
that
is
his
friend
,
for
thankes
,
as
many
Firre
trees
(
that
are
as
good
as
any
shippes
mastes
in
England
)
as
are
worth
(
if
they
were
in
any
place
neere
the
Thames
,
or
any
other
portable
Riuer
)
the
best
Earledome
in
England
or
Scotland
either
:
For
I
dare
affirme
hee
hath
as
many
growing
there
,
as
would
serue
for
mastes
(
from
this
time
to
the
end
of
the
world
)
for
all
the
Shippes
,
Carackes
,
Hoyes
,
Galleyes
,
Boates
,
Drumlers
,
Barkes
,
and
Water-craftes
,
that
are
now
,
or
can
bee
in
the
world
these
fourtie
yeares
.
This
sounds
like
a
lie
to
an
vnbeleeuer
;
but
I
and
many
thousands
doe
knowe
that
I
speake
within
the
compasse
of
truth
:
for
indeede
(
the
more
is
the
pitie
)
they
doe
growe
so
farre
from
any
passage
of
water
,
and
withall
in
such
rockie
Mountaines
,
that
no
way
to
conuey
them
is
possible
to
bee
passable
either
with
Boate
,
Horse
,
or
Cart.
Thus
hauing
spent
certaine
dayes
in
Hunting
in
the
Brea
of
Marr
,
wee
went
to
the
next
Countie
called
Bagenoch
,
belonging
to
the
Earle
of
Engye
,
where
hauing
such
sport
and
entertainement
as
wee
formerly
had
;
after
foure
or
fiue
dayes
pastime
,
wee
tooke
leaue
of
hunting
for
that
yeare
;
and
tooke
our
iourney
toward
a
strong
house
of
the
Earles
,
called
Ruthen
in
Bagenoch
,
where
my
Lord
of
Engye
and
his
noble
Countesse
(
being
daughter
to
the
Earle
of
Argile
)
did
giue
vs
most
noble
welcome
three
dayes
.
From
thence
wee
went
to
a
place
called
Ballo
Castle
,
a
faire
and
stately
house
;
a
worthy
Gentleman
beeing
the
owner
of
it
,
called
the
Lard
of
Graunt
;
his
wife
beeing
a
Gentlewoman
honourably
descended
,
being
sister
to
the
right
Honourable
Earle
of
Atholl
,
and
to
Sir
Patricke
Murray
Knight
;
shee
beeing
both
inwardly
and
outwardly
plentifully
adorned
with
the
guifts
of
Grace
and
Nature
:
so
that
our
cheere
was
more
then
sufficient
;
and
yet
much
lesse
then
they
could
affoord
vs.
There
staied
there
foure
dayes
,
foure
Earles
,
one
Lord
,
diuers
Knights
and
Gentlemen
,
and
their
seruants
,
footemen
and
horses
;
and
euery
meale
foure
long
Tables
furnished
with
all
varieties
:
Our
first
and
second
course
beeing
threescore
Dishes
at
one
boord
;
and
after
that
alwayes
a
Banquet
:
and
there
if
I
had
not
forsworne
wine
till
I
came
to
Edinbrough
,
I
thinke
I
had
there
dranke
my
last
.
The
fifth
day
with
much
adoe
wee
gate
from
thence
to
Tarnaway
,
a
goodly
house
of
the
Earle
of
Murrayes
,
●●here
that
right
Honourable
Lord
and
his
Ladie
did
welcome
vs
foure
dayes
more
.
There
was
good
cheere
in
all
varietie
,
with
somewhat
more
then
plentie
for
aduantage
:
for
indeed
the
Countie
of
Murray
is
the
most
pleasantess
,
and
plentifullest
Countrey
in
all
Scotland
;
being
plaine
land
,
that
a
Coach
may
bee
driuen
more
then
foure
and
thirtie
myles
one
way
in
it
,
all
alongst
by
the
Sea-coast
.
From
thence
I
went
to
Elgen
in
Murray
,
an
auncient
Citie
,
where
there
stood
a
faire
and
beautifull
Church
with
three
steeples
,
the
walles
of
it
and
the
steeples
all
yet
standing
;
but
the
Roofe
,
Windowes
,
and
many
Marble
Monuments
and
Toombes
of
honourable
and
worthie
personages
all
broken
and
defaced
:
this
was
done
in
the
time
when
ruine
bare
rule
,
and
Knox
knock'd
downe
Churches
.
From
Elgen
we
went
to
the
B.
of
Murray
his
house
which
is
called
Spinye
,
or
Spinaye
.
A
reuerend
Gentleman
hee
is
,
of
the
noble
name
of
Dowglasse
,
where
wee
were
very
well
welcomed
,
as
befitted
the
honour
of
himselfe
and
his
guests
.
From
thence
wee
departed
to
the
Lord
Marquesse
of
Huntleyes
,
to
a
sumptuous
house
of
his
,
named
the
Bogg
of
Geethe
,
where
our
entertainement
was
like
himselfe
,
free
,
bountifull
and
honourable
.
There
(
after
two
dayes
stay
)
with
much
entreatie
and
earnest
suite
,
I
gate
leaue
of
the
Lords
to
depart
towards
Edinbrough
:
the
Noble
Marquesse
,
the
Earles
of
Marr
,
Murray
,
Engie
,
Bughan
,
and
the
Lord
Erskin
;
all
these
,
I
thanke
them
,
gaue
me
gold
to
defray
my
charges
in
my
iourney
.
So
after
fiue
and
thirtie
dayes
hunting
and
trauell
,
I
returning
,
past
by
another
stately
mansion
of
the
Lord
Marquesses
,
called
Stroboggy
,
and
so
ouer
Carny
mount
to
Breekin
,
where
a
wench
that
was
borne
deafe
and
dumbe
came
into
my
chamber
at
mid-night
(
I
beeing
asleepe
)
and
shee
opening
the
bed
,
would
faine
haue
lodged
with
mee
:
But
had
I
beene
a
Sardanapalus
,
or
a
Heliogobalus
,
I
thinke
that
either
the
great
trauell
ouer
the
Mountaines
had
tamed
me
;
or
if
not
,
her
beautie
could
neuer
haue
mooued
me
.
The
best
parts
of
her
were
,
that
her
breath
was
as
sweet
as
sugar-carrion
,
being
very
well
shouldered
beneath
the
waste
;
and
as
my
Hostesse
tolde
mee
the
next
morning
,
that
shee
had
changed
her
Maiden-head
for
the
price
of
a
Bastard
not
long
before
.
But
howsoeuer
,
shee
made
such
a
hideous
noyse
,
that
I
started
out
of
my
sleepe
,
and
thought
that
the
Deuill
had
beene
there
:
but
I
no
sooner
knewe
who
it
was
,
but
I
arose
,
and
thrust
my
dumbe
beast
out
of
my
chamber
;
and
for
want
of
a
locke
or
a
latch
,
I
staked
vp
my
doore
with
a
great
chaire
.
Thus
hauing
escaped
one
of
the
seuen
deadly
sinnes
at
Breekin
,
I
departed
from
thence
to
a
Towne
called
Forfard
;
and
from
thence
to
Dundee
,
and
so
to
Kinghorne
,
Burnt
Iland
,
and
so
to
Edinbrough
,
where
I
stayed
eight
dayes
,
to
recouer
my selfe
of
falles
and
bruises
which
I
receiued
in
my
trauell
in
the
high-land
mountainous
Hunting
.
Great
welcome
I
had
shewed
mee
all
my
stay
at
Edinbrough
,
by
many
worthy
Gentlemen
,
namely
,
olde
Master
George
Todrigg
,
Master
Henry
Leuingston
,
Master
Iames
Henderson
,
Master
Iohn
Maxwell
,
and
a
number
of
others
,
who
suffered
me
to
want
no
wine
or
good
cheere
,
as
may
be
imagined
.
Now
the
day
before
I
came
from
Edinbrough
,
I
went
to
Leeth
,
where
I
found
my
long
approoued
and
assured
good
friend
Master
Beniamin
Iohnson
,
at
one
Master
Iohn
Stuarts
house
:
I
thanke
him
for
his
great
kindnesse
towards
mee
:
for
at
my
taking
leaue
of
him
,
hee
gaue
mee
a
piece
of
golde
of
two
and
twentie
shillings
to
drinke
his
health
in
England
.
And
withall
,
willed
mee
to
remember
his
kinde
commendations
to
all
his
friendes
:
So
with
a
friendly
farewell
,
I
left
him
,
as
well
,
as
I
hope
neuer
to
see
him
in
a
worse
estate
:
for
hee
is
amongst
Noble-men
and
Gentlemen
that
knowes
his
true
worth
,
and
their
owne
honours
,
where
with
much
respectiue
loue
hee
is
worthily
entertained
.
So
leauing
Leeth
,
I
return'd
to
Edinbrough
,
and
within
the
port
or
gate
,
called
the
Netherbowe
,
I
discharged
my
pockets
of
all
the
money
I
had
:
and
as
I
came
pennilesse
within
the
walles
of
that
Citie
at
my
first
comming
thither
;
so
now
at
my
departing
from
thence
,
I
came
monesse
out
of
it
againe
;
hauing
in
my
company
to
conuey
mee
out
,
certaine
Gentlemen
,
amongst
the
which
was
Master
Iames
Acherson
,
Laird
of
Gasford
,
a
Gentleman
that
brought
mee
to
his
house
,
where
with
great
entertainement
hee
and
his
good
wife
did
welcome
me
.
On
the
morrowe
he
sent
one
of
his
men
to
bring
mee
to
a
place
,
called
Adam
,
to
Master
Iohn
Acmootye
his
house
,
one
of
the
Groomes
of
his
Maiesties
Bed-chamber
;
where
with
him
,
and
his
two
brethren
,
Master
Alexander
,
and
Master
Iames
Acmootye
,
I
found
both
Cheere
and
Welcome
not
inferiour
to
any
that
I
had
had
in
any
former
place
.
Amongst
our
viands
that
wee
had
there
,
I
must
not
forget
the
Sole
and
Goose
,
a
most
delicate
Fowle
,
which
breedes
in
great
aboundance
in
a
little
Rocke
called
the
Basse
,
which
stands
two
miles
into
the
Sea.
It
is
very
good
flesh
,
but
it
is
eaten
in
the
forme
as
wee
eate
Oysters
,
standing
at
a
side-boord
,
a
little
before
dinner
,
vnsanctified
without
grace
;
and
after
it
is
eaten
,
it
must
be
well
liquored
with
two
or
three
good
rowses
of
Sherrie
or
Canarie
sacke
.
The
Lord
or
Owner
of
the
Basse
doth
profite
at
the
least
two
hundred
pound
yearely
by
those
Geese
;
the
Basse
it selfe
being
of
a
great
height
,
and
neere
three
quarters
of
a
mile
in
campasse
,
all
fully
replenished
with
Wildfowle
,
hauing
but
one
small
entrance
into
it
,
with
a
house
,
a
garden
,
and
a
Chappell
in
it
;
and
on
the
toppe
of
it
a
Well
of
pure
fresh
water
.
From
Adam
Mr.
Iohn
and
Mr.
Iames
Acmootye
went
to
the
Towne
of
Dunbarr
with
mee
,
where
tenne
Scottish
pintes
of
wine
were
consumed
and
brought
to
nothing
for
a
farewell
:
there
at
Master
Iames
Baylies
house
I
tooke
leaue
,
and
Master
Iames
Acmootye
comming
for
England
,
said
,
that
if
I
would
ride
with
him
,
that
neither
I
nor
my
horse
should
want
betwixt
that
place
and
London
.
Now
I
hauing
no
money
or
meanes
for
trauell
,
beganne
at
once
to
examine
my
manners
,
and
my
want
:
at
last
my
want
perswaded
my
manners
to
accept
of
this
worthy
Gentlemans
vndeserued
courtesie
.
So
that
night
hee
brought
mee
to
a
place
called
Cober
spath
,
where
wee
lodged
at
an
Inne
,
the
like
of
which
I
dare
say
,
is
not
in
any
of
his
Maiesties
Dominions
.
And
for
to
shewe
my
thankfulnesse
to
Master
William
Arnet
and
his
wife
,
the
owners
thereof
,
I
must
a
little
explaine
their
bonntifull
entertainement
of
guests
,
which
is
this
:
Suppose
tenne
,
fifteene
,
or
twentie
men
and
horses
come
to
lodge
at
their
house
,
the
men
shall
haue
flesh
,
tame
and
wild-fowle
,
fish
,
with
all
varietie
of
good
cheere
,
good
lodging
,
and
welcome
;
and
the
horses
shall
want
neither
hay
or
prouender
:
and
in
the
morning
at
their
departure
the
reckoning
is
iust
nothing
.
This
is
this
worthy
Gentlemans
vse
,
his
chiefe
delight
beeing
onely
to
giue
strangers
entertainement
gratis
:
And
I
am
sure
,
that
in
Scotland
beyond
Edinbrough
▪
I
haue
beene
at
houses
like
Castles
for
building
;
the
Master
of
the
house
his
Beauer
being
his
blew
Bonnet
,
one
that
will
weare
no
other
shirts
,
but
of
the
Flaxe
that
growes
in
his
owne
ground
;
and
of
his
wiues
,
daughters
,
or
seruants
spinning
;
that
hath
his
Stockings
,
Hose
,
and
Ierkin
of
the
Wooll
of
his
owne
sheepes
backes
;
that
neuer
(
by
his
pride
of
Apparell
)
caused
Mercer
,
Draper
,
Silke-man
,
Embroyderer
,
or
Haberdasher
to
breake
and
turne
bankerupt
:
and
yet
this
plaine
home-spunne
fellow
keepes
and
maintaines
thirtie
,
fourtie
,
fiftie
seruants
,
or
perhaps
more
,
euery
day
releeuing
three
or
fourescore
poore
people
at
his
gate
;
and
besides
all
this
,
can
giue
Noble
entertainement
for
foure
or
fiue
dayes
together
to
fiue
or
sixe
Earles
and
Lords
,
besides
Knights
,
Gentlemen
&
their
followers
,
if
they
be
three
or
foure
hundred
men
and
horse
of
them
,
where
they
shall
not
onely
feed
but
feast
,
and
not
feast
but
banquet
,
this
is
a
man
that
desires
to
know
nothing
so
much
as
his
duty
to
God
and
his
King
whose
greatest
cares
are
to
practise
the
works
of
Piety
,
Charity
,
and
Hospitality
:
hee
neuer
studies
the
consuming
Art
of
fashionlesse
fashions
,
hee
neuer
tries
his
strength
to
beare
foure
or
fiue
hundred
Acres
on
his
backe
at
once
,
his
legges
are
alwayes
at
liberty
,
not
being
fettered
with
golden
garters
,
and
manacled
with
artificiall
Roses
,
whose
weight
(
sometime
)
is
the
last
Relliques
of
some
decayed
Lordship
:
Many
of
these
worthy
house-keepers
there
are
in
Scotland
,
amongst
some
of
them
I
was
entertained
;
from
whence
I
did
truely
gather
these
aforesaid
obseruations
.
So
leauing
Coberspath
we
rode
to
Barwicke
,
where
the
worthy
old
Soldier
and
ancient
Knight
,
Sir
William
Bowyer
,
made
me
welcome
;
but
contrary
to
his
will
,
we
lodged
at
an
Inne
,
where
Mr.
Iames
Acmooty
paid
all
charges
:
but
at
Barwicke
there
was
a
grieuous
chance
hapned
,
which
I
think
not
fit
the
relation
to
be
omitted
.
In
the
Riuer
of
Tweed
,
which
runnes
by
Barwicke
are
taken
by
Fishermen
that
dwell
there
,
infinite
numbers
of
fresh
Salmons
,
so
that
many
housholds
and
families
are
relieued
by
the
profit
of
that
Fishing
;
but
(
how
long
since
I
know
not
)
there
was
an
order
that
no
man
or
boy
whatsoeuer
should
Fish
vpon
a
Sunday
:
This
order
continued
long
amongst
them
,
till
some
eight
or
nine
weekes
before
Michaelmas
last
,
on
a
Sunday
,
the
Salmons
plaid
in
such
great
aboundance
in
the
Riuer
,
that
some
of
the
Fishermen
(
contrary
to
Gods
law
and
their
owne
order
)
tooke
boates
and
nettes
and
Fished
,
and
caught
neere
three
hundred
Salmons
;
but
from
that
time
vntill
Michaelmas
day
that
I
was
there
which
was
nine
weekes
,
and
heard
the
report
of
it
,
and
saw
the
poore
peoples
miserable
lamentations
,
they
had
not
seene
one
Salmon
in
the
Riuer
;
and
some
of
them
were
in
despaire
that
they
should
neuer
see
any
more
there
;
affirming
it
to
be
God
,
Iudgement
vpon
them
for
the
prophanation
of
the
Saboth
.
The
thirtieth
of
September
wee
rode
from
Barwicke
to
Belford
,
from
Belford
to
Anwick
the
next
day
from
Anwick
to
Newcastle
,
where
I
found
the
noble
Knight
,
Sir
Henry
Witherington
;
who
,
because
I
would
haue
no
gold
nor
siluer
,
gaue
mee
a
bay
Mare
,
in
requitall
of
a
loafe
of
bread
that
I
had
giuen
him
two
and
twenty
yeares
before
,
at
the
lland
of
Flores
,
of
the
which
I
haue
spoken
before
.
I
ouertooke
at
Newcastle
a
great
many
of
my
worthy
friends
,
which
were
all
comming
for
London
,
namely
,
Maister
Robert
Hay
,
and
Maister
Dauid
Drummond
,
where
I
was
well
welcom'd
at
Maister
Nicholas
Tempests
house
.
From
Newcastle
I
rode
with
those
Gentlemen
to
Durham
,
to
Darington
,
to
Northallerton
,
and
to
Topeliffe
in
Yorkshire
,
where
I
tooke
my
leaue
of
them
,
and
would
needs
try
my
pennilesse
fortunes
by
my selfe
,
and
see
the
Citty
of
Yorke
,
where
I
was
lodged
at
my
Right
Worshipfull
good
friends
,
Maister
Doctor
Hudson
one
of
his
Maiesties
Chaplaines
,
who
went
with
me
,
and
shewed
me
the
goodly
Minster
Church
there
,
and
the
most
admirable
,
rare-wrought
,
vnfellowed
Chapter
house
.
From
Yorke
I
rode
to
Doncaster
,
where
my
horses
were
well
fed
at
the
Beare
,
but
my selfe
found
out
the
honourable
Knight
,
Sir
Robert
Anstruther
at
his
father
in
lawes
,
the
truely
noble
Sir
Robert
Swifts
house
,
hee
being
then
high
Sheriffe
of
Yorkeshire
,
where
with
their
good
Ladies
,
and
the
right
Honourable
the
Lord
Sanquhar
,
I
was
stayed
two
nights
and
one
day
,
Sir
Robert
Anstruther
(
I
thanke
him
)
not
onely
paying
for
my
two
horses
meat
,
but
at
my
departure
,
hee
gaue
mee
a
Letter
to
Newarke
vpon
Trent
,
twenty
eight
miles
in
my
way
,
where
Mr.
George
Atkinson
mine
host
made
me
as
welcome
as
if
I
had
beene
a
French
Lord
,
and
what
was
to
bee
paid
,
as
I
cal'd
for
nothing
,
I
paid
as
much
;
and
left
the
reckoning
with
many
thankes
to
Sir
Robert
Anstruther
.
So
leauing
Newarke
,
with
another
Gentleman
that
ouertooke
mee
,
wee
came
at
night
to
Stamford
,
to
the
signe
of
the
Virginitie
(
or
the
Maydenhead
)
where
I
deliuered
a
Letter
from
the
Lord
Sanquhar
;
which
caused
Master
Bates
and
his
wife
,
being
the
Master
and
Mistresse
of
the
house
,
to
make
mee
and
the
Gentleman
that
was
with
mee
great
cheare
for
nothing
.
From
Stamford
the
next
day
wee
rode
to
Huntington
,
where
wee
lodged
at
the
Post-masters
house
,
at
the
signe
of
the
Crowne
;
his
name
is
Riggs
.
Hee
was
informed
who
I
was
,
and
wherefore
I
vndertooke
this
my
pennilesse
Progresse
:
wherefore
hee
came
vp
into
our
chamber
,
and
sup'd
with
vs
,
and
very
bountifully
called
for
three
quarts
of
Wine
and
Sugar
,
and
foure
lugges
of
Beere
.
Hee
did
drinke
and
beginne
Healths
like
a
Horse-leech
,
and
swallowed
downe
his
cuppes
without
feeling
,
as
if
he
had
had
the
dropsie
,
or
nine
pound
of
Spunge
in
his
maw
.
In
a
word
,
as
hee
is
a
Poste
,
hee
dranke
poste
,
striuing
and
calling
by
all
meanes
to
make
the
Reckoning
great
,
or
to
make
vs
men
of
great
reckoning
.
But
in
his
payment
hee
was
tyred
like
a
Iade
,
leauing
the
Gentleman
that
was
with
mee
to
discharge
the
terrible
Shott
,
or
else
one
of
my
horses
must
haue
laine
in
pawne
for
his
superfluous
calling
,
and
vnmannerly
intrusion
.
But
leauing
him
,
I
left
Huntington
,
and
rode
on
the
Sunday
to
Packeridge
,
where
Master
Holland
at
the
Faulkon
,
(
mine
olde
acquaintance
)
and
my
louing
and
auncient
Hoste
gaue
mee
,
my
friend
,
my
man
,
and
our
horses
excellent
good
cheere
,
and
welcome
,
and
I
paid
him
with
,
Not
a
penie
of
money
.
The
next
day
I
came
to
London
,
and
obscurely
comming
within
Moore-gate
,
I
went
to
a
house
and
borrowed
money
:
And
so
I
stole
backe
againe
to
Islington
,
to
the
signe
of
the
Mayden-head
,
staying
till
Wednesday
that
my
friendes
came
to
meete
mee
,
who
knewe
no
other
,
but
that
Wednesday
was
my
first
comming
:
where
with
all
loue
I
was
entertained
with
much
good
cheere
:
and
after
Supper
wee
had
a
play
of
the
life
and
death
of
Guy
of
Warwicke
,
plaied
by
the
Right
Honourable
the
Earle
of
Darbie
his
men
.
And
so
on
the
Thursday
morning
beeing
the
fifteenth
of
October
,
I
came
home
to
my
house
in
London
.
THE
EPILOGVE
TO
all
my
Aduenturers
and
others
.
THus
did
I
neither
spend
,
or
begge
,
or
aske
,
By
any
course
,
direct
,
or
indirectly
:
But
in
each
tittle
I
perform'd
my
taske
,
According
to
my
bill
most
circumspectly
.
I
vow
to
God
I
haue
done
SCOTLAND
wrong
,
(
And
(
iustly
)
gainst
me
it
may
bring
an
Action
)
I
haue
not
giuen
't
that
right
which
doth
belong
,
For
which
I
am
halfe
guilty
of
detraction
:
Yet
had
I
wrote
all
things
that
there
I
saw
,
Misiudging
censures
would
suppose
I
flatter
,
And
so
my
name
I
should
in
question
draw
,
Where
Asses
bray
,
and
pratling
Pies
doe
chatter
:
Yet
(
arm'd
with
truth
)
I
publish
with
my
Pen
,
That
there
th'
Almighty
doth
his
blessings
heape
,
In
such
aboundant
food
for
Beasts
and
Men
;
That
I
ne're
saw
more
plenty
or
more
cheape
:
Thus
what
mine
eyes
did
see
,
I
doe
beleeue
;
And
what
I
doe
beleeue
I
know
is
true
:
And
what
is
true
vnto
your
hands
I
giue
,
That
what
I
giue
may
be
beleeu'd
of
you
.
But
as
for
him
that
sayes
I
lye
or
dote
,
I
doe
returne
,
and
turne
the
Lye
in
's
throate
.
Thus
Gentlemen
,
amongst
you
take
my
ware
,
You
share
my
thankes
,
and
I
your
moneyes
share
.
Yours
in
all
obseruance
and
gratefulnesse
,
euer
to
be
commanded
.
