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).

A

OF
THE

of
*
MONSIER
PANDORSVS
WALDOLYNNATVS
,
that
merry
American
Philosopher
,
or
the
Wiseman
of
the
New
World
;
being
Antipode
to
Aesop
,
placed
with
him
as
parallel
in
the
front
.
Done
according
to
the
simple
truth
of
his
owne
naked
deliuery
.
And
dedicated
to
THOMAS
THVRSBY
Esquire
,
no
lesse
fit
to
be
publicke
,
then
desirous
of
retirement
and
priuacie
.
YOV
shun
all

,
though
your

and

With
long
experience
makes
you
truly
fit

Wherefore
Pandorsus
wils
me
pricke
you
heere
Shriefe
in
my
booke
,
who
might
be
in
the
Sheere
.
AS
the
East
and
West
are
opposite
,
so
stand
These
Wise-●en
in
the
front
on
either
hand
.
Aesope
well
known
an
Easterne
witty
thing
:
But
our
Pandorsus
Westerne
fame
I
sing
;
Whose
picture
in
the
Front
,
whose
markes
before
,
Behinde
,
within
,
without
,
I
late
did
score
;
Yet
lest
that
picture
,
nor
these
markes
,
should
make
His
worth
enough
apparant
,
briefely
take
His
life
anatomiz'de
,
but
chiefly
where
It
may
our
sucklings
with
example
rer●
.
The
lines
are
drawne
euen
by
his
owne
true
light
,
From
partiall
flattery
free
,
and
enuious
spight
.
Within
that
S●i●re
where
Hyndes
with
dumplings
fed
,
Beget
best
Lawyers
,
was
Pandors●s
bread
:
But
for
his
P●r●nts
were
of
better
ranke
,
And
in
a
Co●ste
Town●
dwelt
,
they
Clarret
dranke
,
And
wrie-mouth'd
Pl●i●●
br●ts
butts●
and
〈◊〉
did
eate
,
And
crooked
Crabs
with
such
prodigious
mea●e

Thus
for
a
wonder
they
prepar●d
in
feeding
:
And
such
he
prou'd
,
who
from
that
root●
had
breeding

Though
no
P●n

P●ndorsus

For

and
g●ue
so

As

Momus
thought

But
what
to
her
they
gaue
,
from
him
they
tooke
,
And
now
in
vaine
for

in

we

Looke
for

and

An
itching
humor
,
whence
extracted
was
This
quint

of

,
this
masse
Of

,
who
partakes
A

A

Gote-bearded

A

;
not

but
feede
;
A
Hare
in

,
and
yet
a
Snaile
in

.
This
is
the
man
whom
we
Pandorsus
call
.
Whose
armes
or
Rebus
thus
we
blasen
shall
.
Vpon
a
stat●ly
wall
Saint
George
doth
ride
(
Wanting
a
horse
)
in
pompe
and
armed
pride
;
Beneath
there
is
a
Den
,
in
that
the
Dragon
.
This
tells
his
name
,
whose
worthy
parts
we
brag
on
.
It
is
his
owne
deuice
,
let
all
men
know
:
So
is
the
rest
which
we
in
order
show
.
His
Mothers
Husband
(
who
reputed
was
His
Father
)
being
rich
and
well
to
passe
,
A
wealthy
Merchant
and
an
Alderman
,
On
forraigne
shores
did
trau●ll
now
and
than
:
The
whilst
a
Gallant
Souldier
,
new
come
forth
From
warre
b●got
this
man
of
mickle
worth
.
This
gallant
Souldier
,
then
from
●Belgia
brought
A
wondrous
Mandrake
(
with
much
perill
bought
)
Sprung
(
though
some
thin●e

fabulous
)
from
seed
The
gallow●s
drop
(
for
so
this
roote
doth
breed
,
)
Which
whilst
his
mother
did
in
pl●asure
eye
,
Our
Mo●nsurs
shape
,
she
did
conc●iue
thereby
.
Much
like
that
Mandrake
,
writ●en
,
turning
round
,
As
from
the
gallow●s
he
had
dropt
to
ground
.
And
l●t
no
dou●tfull
Reader
much
admire
,
A
Myrmidon
should
be
Pandorsus
Syre
,
For
as
there
's
none
with
vs
get
brauer

Then
Lawyers
,
or
the
tender
Citizen
,
So
none
more
cowards
g●t
,
then
those
which
are
Our
brauest
Spirits
,
most
renownde
in
warre
.
The
cause
I
know
not
,
or
I
list
not
tell
,
But
so
it
often
falles
,
and
heere
so
fell
.
None
bolder
then
Pandorsus
Syre
,
then
he
None
fearefuller
;
and
yet
he
needs
would
be
A
Souldier
,
where
the
Muster-booke
he
fild
,
But
fought
with
none
,
nor
ne're
saw

Artemon
was
more
hardy
though
afraid
Of
his
owne
shadow
.
Wagers
haue
beene
laid
,
That
let
an
enemie
fart
,
he
would
out-run
An
Irishman
,
for
feare
t
'had
been
a
gun
.
Where
learned
Spencer
maketh
harna'st
Feare
Afraid
the
clashing
of
his
armes
to
heare
,
That
apprehension
he
from
hence
did
gaine
,
Our
Monsieur
did
,
what
Spencer
did
but
faine
.
But
stay
,
I
haue
forgot
to
let
you
know
His
education
,
and
to
shew
you
how
(
Being
nusled
vp
in
Letters
)
he
in
sport
His
time
wore
out
at
Schoole
and
Innes
of
Court
,
Yet
so
as
once
a
Gipsie
,
who
did
looke
Vpon
his
Palme
,
said
he
,
should
liue
by
's
booke
;
Which
fortune
some
conceiue
hath
doubtfull
scope
,
As
if
his
booke
should
saue
him
from
the
rope
:
But
since
he
proues
,
it
meant
another
thing
,
That
teaching
Tongues
,
he
should
liue
like
a
King
;
And
so
he
now
doth
,
liuing
as
he
lust
,
And
by
his
owne
will
measuring
what
is
iust
.
For
being
set
to
Schoole
when
he
was
young
,
He
of
all
knowledge
learn'd
both
taile
and
tongue
.
Th'
Italian
,
Latin
,
Spanish
and
the
French
,
He
grew
as
cunning
in
,
as
at
a
Wench
.
A
Dictionary
of
all
words
of
Art
,
And
Lullies
old-ends
,
he
hath
got
by
heart
.
Th'
apparrell
of
all
knowledge
he
doth
weare
,
And
'bout
him
Bias-like
)
his
wealth
doth
beare
.
And
now
(
growne
ripe
)
he
doth
religion
choose
That
's
most
in
fashion
,
as
our
great
ones
vse
:
But
otherwise
for
truth
hee
'le
neuer
burne
,
Th'
aduantage
of
his
wry-necke
helps
him
turne
:
He
knowes
the
way
,
and
wills
the
world
ne're
doubt
,
That
comming
raw
in
,
hee
'le
go
rosted
out
.
In
youth
he
tooke
to
Wife
a
louely
Dame
,
Not
hight
the
chast
Penelope
by
name
;
But
worthy
such
an
attribute
,
for
shee
Her
wandring
loose
Vlisses
did
not
see
In
twenty
yeeres
,
and
yet
t'
is
thought
her
bed
Shee
kept
vnstain'd
,
and
vn-ad-horn'd
his
head
.
But
what
a
blessing
was
,
he
thought
a
curse
,
His
wife
had
better
beene
,
had
shee
been
worse
,
Her
goodnesse
made
him
hate
her
;
she
had
dide
But
that
a
dozen
must
be
kil'd
beside
.
He
knew
not
then
(
as
I
haue
heard
him
say
)
Th'
Italian
tricke
,
but
the
plaine
English
way
,
Of
simple
Country
poysoning
,
now
he
knowes
To
do
t
by
inches
;
Court
perfection
growes
.
Lopus
and
Squire
,
are
not
so
skil'd
as
hee
,
And
scarce
Romes
Conclaue
in
that
mysterie
.
He
can
a
Nullitie
worke
,
diuorce
the
life
Twixt
soule
and
body
,
sooner
then
some
wife
.
And
if
his
ricke
be
knowne
,
men
ne're
will
seeke
A
doubtfull
way
by
law
,
but
do
the
like
.
His
wife
thus
scap'd
a
scouring
,
so
did
he
,
When
being
merry
once
in
company
And
passing
Smith-field
(
then
vnpau'd
)
too
late
With
rich
Canary
hauing
linde
his
pate
,
The
owle-eyde
Sharkers
spi'd
him
,
how
he
felt
To
finde
a
post
;
his
meaning
soone
they
smelt
:
And
then
the
sturdiest
knaue
,
with
sodain'd
rush
,
Our
wauering
Monsieur
on
his
knees
did
push
,
The
whil'st
another
kindly
to
him
spoke
;
Help't
him
out
of
the
durt
,
and
chang'd
his
cloke
.
This
cloke
he
wore
next
day
,
and
passing
by
A
Brokers
shop
,
the
prentice
lowde
gan
cry
Sirs
stop
the
theefe
,
the
cloake
this
fellow
weares
Is
mine
:
with
that
they
swarm'd
about
his
eares
,
Conuayde
him
to
a
Iustice
,
where
one
swore
He
had
been
branded
stagmaticke
before
.
Another
said
,
he
was
the
man
that
hung
Three
dayes
beyond
Seas
,
as
the
ballad
sang
;
The
cause
why
he
his
necke
awry
,
did
hold
,
Was
for
he
hang'd
long
,
and
was
ta'ne
downe
cold
But
to
the
Iustice
being
throughly
knowne
,
For
carrying
letters
where
't
must
not
be
showne
,
And
for
his
skill
,
each
moderne
language
speaking
,
And
wondrous
Art
,
to
silence
doores
from
squeaking
,
With
losse
of
his
good
cloke
,
he
slipt
the
hooke
,
And
thus
he
once
was
saued
by
his
booke
.
Thus
farre
I
stretch
my
lines
,
thus
farre
he
liues
,
And
more
I
'le
write
,
when
he
direction
giues
.
But
if
I
die
,
these
lines
shall
be
the
glasse
His
worth
to
shew
,
and
how
I
thankfull
was
.
To
the
ouer-wise
,
ouer-wilfull
,
ouer-curious
,
or
ouer-captious
Readers
.
I
Faine
would
tell
some
Tales
,
but
I
'de
be
loth
,
To
haue
men
be
so
wise
to
thinke
them
troth
.

would
all

If

But
since
that
Nature

I

Thus
if

I
vse
Bird

still

I

those

Not

of

difference

And
in

For
though
man
be

Yet
sure
an

no

And
so
an

Asse

Though

Excuse

PLutarch
in
the
life
of
Alexander
the
Great
,
writes
of
a
Woman
brought
to
a
Serpentine
and
poysonous
natur●
,
by
feeding
ordinarily
on
Serpents
.
This
hath
so●e
r●s●mblance
with
this
tale
,
whose
Morall
is●
that
man
should
carefully
,
guard
himselfe
from
others
,
and
from
himselfe
:
From
others
,
because
though
we
come
neere
sin
,
with
a
purpose
to
punish
it
;
yet
being
full
of
contagion
,
the
effect
is
hazardous
:
much
more
when
wee
conuerse
with
it
daily
;
as
they
witnesse
,
who
keeping
company
with
prophane
,
dissolute
,
and
blasphemou●
persons
,
doe
often
come
out
such
themselues
,
seldome
otherwise
.
Beware
therefor●
of
euill
company
,
and
euill
custome
.
To
walke
in
the
counseil
of
the
wicked
,
leads
you
to
stand
in
the
way
of
sinners
,
and
caus●th
you
to
sit
in
the
seate
of
scorners
.
To
conuerse
with
Hereticks
vnder
whatsoeuer
pretence
is
dangerous
.
Thus
therefore
guard
your selfe
from
outward
inuasion
,
from
others
;
but
keepe
one
eye
to
looke
inward
.
The
worst
company
is
at
home
,
within
a
mans
selfe
.
His
senses
stirred
vp
to
pleasure
,
are
so
many
Serpents
in
his
bosome
,
seeking
his
destruction
:
neither
will
they
easily
bee
charmed
.
The
sting
of
sinne
is
sweet
,
but
deadly●
Set
your
vnsanctified
app●tite
and
will
to
gouerne
these
,
and
you
are
vndone
.
The
flesh
will
let
in
the
world
and
the
deuill
,
in
stead
of
God
and
Heauen
.
But
let
your
sanctified
Reason
bee
your
gouernour
,
and
you
are
safe
at
home
and
abroad
.
Mortifie
therefore
your
members
which
are
on
the
earth
;
fornication
,
vncleannesse
,
the
inordinate
aff●ction
,
euill
concupiscence
,
and
couetousnesse
,
which
is
Idolatry
,
&c.
The
place
of
greatest
danger
where
your
foe
may
land
and
enter
,
is
the
Cinque-ports
,
the
fiue
senses
:
watch
therefore
ouer
these
,
and
ouer
our
affections
,
and
you
are
safe
.

THe
Griffon
(
well
alli'd
,
and
great
in
power
)
Made
challenge
to
be
generall
Emperour
Of
beasts
,
and
birds
;
whose
title
to
decide
,
A
generall
Councell
was
proclaimed
wide
Through
all
the
world
,
and
euery
bird
and
beast
Together
met
,
the
greatest
,
and
the
least
.
Mongst
these
some
crawling
serpents
,
some
with
feet
,
And
some
with
wings
did
at
this
Councell
meet
,
And
claim'd
the
place
of
beasts
,
and
did
alledge
Full
many
ancient
lawes
of
priuiledge
●or
their
high
honour
;
b●t
the
chiefe
was
this
;
●hey
prou'd
themselues
beasts
,
out
of
Genesis
.
●ut
when
that
Law
was
read
,
and
it
was
found
,
●heir
treason
brought
a
curse
vpon
the
ground
;
●hat
euer
since
their
poyson
did
annoy
●oth
birds
an●●●●sts
,
and
oft
did
both
destroy
;
Cloking
their
●●aud
,
guilding
their
villanie
With
ancient
vniuersall-vnity
;
Betraying
truth
with
darke
a●biguous
lies
,
And
cosening
man
of
blessed
Paradise
:
Adulterating
,
purging
of
the
sence
Of
holy
Writ
,
vnder
a
good
pretence
:
They
had
by
generall
voice
,
strict
banishmen●
●rom
comming
nere
this
Court
of
Parliament
.
And
now
the
rest
proceed
;
but
by
the
way
Arose
another
cause
of
some
delay
,
Comming
to
choose
a
Speaker
,
bolde
Iack
daw
Would
interpose
his
skill
,
and
vouch
a
Law
,
(
The
law
of
Para●ites
)
that
each
one
might
Speake
what
him
list
,
gainst
reason
or
gainst
right
.
And
that
no
Speaker
needed
,
ought
to
be
,
Where
such
a
mixture
was
;
for
if
quoth
he
,
We
choose
a
bird
,
the
beasts
will
all
dissent
;
If
they
a
beast
,
we
shall
be
discontent
.
This
speech
,
though
true
in
pa●t
,
did
all
offend
,
B●cause
they
saw
his
busie
tongue
did
bend
To
c●osse
all
businesse
,
and
his
wit
de●ise
To
change
the
firmest
knots
to
nullities
.
So
they
agreed
toge●her
in
this
sort
,
To
cut
his
nimble
tongue
a
little
short
,
For
sa●cie
tatling
,
where
he
should
not
teach●
And
being
silent
where
he
ought
to
preach
.
But
he
aueides
his
sentence
with
a
quirke
,
Pleading
of
old
he
longed
to
the
Kirke
,
Though
seldom
he
came
there
;
and
each
one
tooke
Him
for
no
Clarke
,
vntill
he
claim'd
his
booke
Then
they
perceiu'd
his
skill
;
and
soone
discerned
How
he
to
flatter
and
backbite
was
learned
;
Could
mount
a
steeples
top
and
with
the
winde
Turne
like
a
weather-cocke
his
ready
minde
,
Seruing
the
time
.
Therefore
they
onward
passe
To
choose
a
Speaker
;
some
would
haue
the
Asse
,
Because
he
could
diminish
nought
nor
adde
,
But
truth
deliuer
,
were
it
good
or
bad
:
Yet
most
mislik'd
that
choice
,
and
those
pronounce
The
Parrot
fit
,
and
some
the
nimble
Ounce
;
Some
the
sweet
Nightingale
,
and
some
the
Dog
,
And
some
the
Fox
,
the
Baboone
,
some
the
Hog
;
Some
Robin
red-brest
,
or
the
speckled
Thrush
,
Some
Chantecleere
,
and
some
the
VVoodcock
flush
.
Some
chose
the
Ape
,
and
some
mislike
his
voice
,
So
sundry
factions
rise
from
his
heard
choice
.
At
last
the
Elephant
perswades
with
all
,
To
take
an
equall
course
,
and
Man
to
call
As
Speaker
,
Iudge
,
and
Vmpire
in
this
thing
,
Being
by
nature
the
worlds
generall
King
,
And
the
most
fit
t'
appoint
and
to
depute
His
owne
Emperiall
bird
beast
substitute
.
To
this
they
all
consent
,
and
to
this
end
In
humble
wise
to
Man
this
Message
send
,
That
he
their
Patron
,
Gouernor
and
Lord
,
VVould
daigne
this
mighty
difference
to
accord
VVith
reason
and
authority
.
His
consent
Is
soone
obtain'd
:
now
gins
the
Parliament
.
In
which
the
Griffon
thus
begins
his
plea.
Grand
Emperour
,
of
Ayre
,
Earth
,
and
Sea
;
I
challenge
by
prerogatiue
,
and
birth
,
To
be
your
Vicar
generall
on
the
Earth
,
O're
birds
and
beasts
:
The
beasts
I
ought
command
,
Because
vpon
foure
feet
like
them
I
stand
.
The
birds
I
ought
to
rule
,
cause
I
can
flie
With
these
my
wings
like
them
,
and
soare
as
hie
.
I
doe
surpasse
the
beasts
in
hauing
wings
,
The
birds
in
legs
,
in
taile
,
and
other
things
:
My
force
doth
match
the
Lyons
,
and
my
heart
The
Eagle
,
or
excels
them
in
each
part
.
Your
doome
I
therefore
claime
,
that
I
may
be
Plac'd
equall
to
my
worth
in
soueraigntie
:
And
next
your selfe
the
Emperour
be
of
Earth
,
According
to
the
priuiledge
of
my
birth
.
Then
spake
the
Elephant
,
and
said
,
that
he
Ought
ouer
beasts
the
only
Lord
to
be
.
His
strength
was
great
,
and
more
then
others
farre
,
His
honours
purchasde
more
in
manly
warre
:
His
le●rning
more
,
the
letters
vnderstanding
,
And
aptly
doing
all
,
wise
Man
commanding
.
Gainst
him
vp
rose
the
Syre
of
Ban●es
his
horse
,
And
challeng'd
him
to
try
,
wit
,
worth
,
and
force
.
This
grew
to
heate
,
but
then
the
mighty
Rucke
Soone
parts
the
fray
,
each
did
from
other
plucke
;
Desires
she
might
be
heard
,
her
challenge
was
To
rule
all
birds
,
since
she
all
●●rds
did
passe
.
The
Wren
straight
hopt
about
,
and
said
,
his
●ame
Did
shew
from
what
a
royall
stocke
he
came
.
And
euery
bird
and
beast
,
the
great
and
small
,
Had
his
ambitious
ayme
to
gouerne
all●
Which
hauing
made
,
in
silence
all
sate
downe
Being
ouer-aw'd
with
mans
Emperiall
frowne
.
Each
fear'd
,
each
hop'd
,
vntill
at
length
the
Man
Rose
vp
,
and
to
determine
thus
began
.
I
was
your
Master
made
,
you
made
for
me
,
And
whatsoeuer
in
the
Globe
there
be
Hid
or
reueal'd
,
t'
is
mine
.
And
I
alone
Sole
Emperouram
,
vnder
that
onely
One.
Nor
doubt
you
this
;
the
question
now
in
hand
Is
for
the
vnder-king-ship
of
my
land
;
For
t'
is
not
fit
that
I
should
troubled
be
With
euery
toy
,
when
subiects
dis●gree
:
But
that
my
Presiden●
should
still
be
nigh
,
Your
doubts
and
iarrest
'
appease
and
rectifie
.
It
only
rests
to
shew
what
parts
are
fit
For
gouernment
.
That
's
courage
,
strength
and
wit
,
Mercy
and
iustice
,
and
the
guard
to
those
,
Awe
to
command
,
dexteritie
to
dispose
.
If
any
part
of
these
be
separate
,
The
rule
is
most
imperfect
,
and
the
State
Falls
to
con●empt
;
the
lawes
are
trodden
downe
,
The
Scepter
broken
,
and
despi●'d
the
Crowne
.
This
shewes
how
many
her●
haue
vainly
sought
For
one
good
part
,
the
wreath
that
many
ought
.
That
nor
the
Ruck
,
the
Elephant
nor
Ho●se
,
Are
fit
to
gouerne
for
their
matchlesse
force
;
Nor
for
their
wit
alone
;
for
then
the
Oxe
Might
make
his
claime
too
,
and
subtle
Foxe
:
Much
lesse
the
silly
Wren
for
honor'd
house
,
Nor
the
catt-fearing
,
Elephant-frighting
Mouse
.
For
these
would
breed
contempt
,
and
Athens
Owle
Might
challenge
so
night-rule
of
eu'ry
Fowle
.
Nor
is
it
meet
this
Griffon
should
obtaine
What
by
pret●nce
of
right
he
seeks
to
gaine
.
Because
his
title
halts
on
either
side
,
Except
in
halues
,
himselfe
he
will
deuide
.
He
is
no
beast
:
his
talents
,
wings
,
and
head
Conclude
against
his
challenge
in
my
stead
.
Nor
yet
a
bird
:
his
body
,
legs
,
and
tayle
With
euidence
his
garments
all
do
quaile
.
But
if
where
proofe
lyes
hid
,
we
may
proceede
By
probabilities
;
from
spurious
●eede
He
tooke
his
being
,
and
would
neither
loue
,
Being
like
to
neither
,
but
a
Tyrant
proue
.
And
where
he
boasts
his
wondrous
strength
and
hart
,
It
's
false
he
doth
pretend
,
because
that
part
Which
shewes
him
Lyon-like
in
shape
,
hide
,
haire
,
Doth
of
the
kingly-Lyon
stand
in
feare
.
And
that
birds
part
which
he
from
th'
Eagle
tooke
,
On
the
sky-towring
Eagle
dares
not
looke
.
The
Lyon
therefore
I
ordaine
and
make
The
King
of
beasts
;
his
awfull
voice
shall
shake
The
proudest
spirit
.
And
the
Eagle
shall
Be
King
of
Birds
,
and
ouer-looke
them
all
.
This
sentence
past
,
the
Parlament
arose
,
And
with
these
rules
of
truth
the
Sessions
close
.
Epimythium
.
Who
seeks
two
swords
to
sway
,
hath
right
to
none●
Who
seeks
two
offices
,
is
not
fit
for
one
:
Who
seeks
two
callings
,
takes
too
much
in
hand
:
Who
hath
two
faiths
,
doth
true
to
neither
stand
.
One
sword
,
one
office●calling
,
and
one
faith
,
Is
fit
for
one
Man
;
so
this
storie
saith
.
Who
seekes
two
swords
to
sway
,
hath
right
to
none
.
The
Pope
challengeth
not
onely
Peters
keyes
and
Pauls
sword
,
but
hath
found
two
swords
in
Peters
hand
,
with
which
he
(
like
another
Alexander
)
cuts
asunder
the
knots
hee
cannot
vndoe
.
The
band
of
marriage
betwixt
man
and
woman
:
The
hand
of
loyall
obedience
betwixt
subiects
and
Soueraignes
;
The
band
of
conscience
betwixt
God
and
man
;
hee
cuts
asunder
by
dispensing
with
marriages
,
allegeance
,
and
others
,
&c.
By
his
behauiour
therefore
in
these
things
,
it
may
bee
iudged
whether
hee
be
fit
to
haue
many
swords
that
cannot
vse
one
well
.
Edged
tooles
are
not
to
bee
put
into
the
hands
of
drunkards
:
Hee
is
scarce
sober
that
makes
all
other
drunke
with
the
c●p
of
his
abhominations
.
Who
seekes
two
offices
,
is
not
fit
for
one
.
To
the
late
Queene
of
famous
memory
,
a
Courtier
who
had
great
place
about
her
Maiestie
,
made
suite
for
an
office
belonging
to
the
Law.
Sh●e
told
him
he
was
vnfit
for
the
place
.
He
confest
as
much
,
but
promised
to
finde
out
a
sufficient
Deputy
.
Do
(
saith
she
)
and
then
I
may
bestow
it
vpon
one
of
my
Ladies
,
for
they
by
deputation
may
execute
the
office
of
Chancellor
,
chiefe
Iustice
,
and
others
,
as
well
as
you
.
This
answered
him
,
and
I
would
it
could
answer
all
others
:
that
●it
men
might
be
placed
in
euery
office
,
and
none
how
great
soeuer
suff●red
to
keepe
two
.
They
should
take
offices
for
the
Common-wealths
benefit
;
but
they
take
them
like
Farmes
for
to
inrich
themselues
.
This
discourageth
all
professions
,
both
in
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
:
one
place
is
fit
for
one
man.
Who
seekes
two
Callings
,
takes
too
much
in
hand
.
The
Church
hath
some
of
these
,
who
are
better
Phisitions
,
Lawyers
,
Merchants
,
or
Handicrafts-men
,
then
Diuines
.
The
Common-wealth
hath
many
of
these
,
some
who
receiue
tythes
,
buy
and
sell
Church-liuings
,
retaine
Deanryes
,
and
Prebenda●ies
.
and
are
well
seene
in
all
occupations
,
but
in
that
which
they
were
bound
to
professe
.
To
be
a
Marchant
,
a
Maultster
,
a
Brewer
,
a
Grasier
,
a
Sheepe-master

In

is
said

In

If
any
man
enquire
farther
after
this
tale
,
let
h●
call
to
minde
the
late
death
of
that
renowned
King
France
,
whose
life
was
terrible
to
Rome
and
her
a●
her●nts
.
He
had
many
admonitions
to
beware
of
Iesuitic●
practises
,
but
would
not
take
heede
,
his
confiden●
might
rather
be
tearmed
presumption
then
courage
.
I
haue
heard
a
story
of
him
which
may
be
as
true
its
strange
:
the
probabilitie
is
great
.
Monsieur
D.
Plessis
(
that
glorious
starre
of
o●
age
)
being
euer
bold
with
the
King
,
because
the
ki●
knew
him
honest
,
and
durst
trust
him
farther
then
Protestant
Prince
may
trust
a
Popish
Catholike
wi●
safety
,
told
his
Master
that
all
the
world
did
wond●
at
the
sodaine
repeale
of
that
edict
of
banishment
solemnly
made
by
the
Parliament
against
all
●esuit●
vpon
so
iust
an
occasion
as
the
wounding
of
his
sacr●
person
by
one
of
their
disciples
.
He
humbly
besoug●
him
to
giue
him
licence
to
put
him
in
minde
ho●
once
professing
the
reformed
religion
,
euen
in
arme●
he
had
been
defended
from
the
treacheries
of
his
enemies
by
that
God
whose
cause
hee
fought
for
.
But
now
in
the
armes
of
peace
,
hee
was
endangered
by
them
who
pretend
his
protection
,
for
that
they
thought
that
howsoeuer
for
some
respects
he
carried
himselfe
,
he
could
not
be
in
loue
with
their
darkenesse
who
had
beene
acquainted
with
the
true
light
:
And
the
Protestants
thought
so
likewise
,
the
rather
induced
hereunto
by
Gods
miraculous
deliuerance
of
him
●rom
the
horror
of
that
bloody
attempt
,
not
suffering
any
part
to
be
punished
but
his
mouth
with
which
hee
had
offended
.
But
hee
besought
him
to
remember
that
the
hearts
of
Kings
are
in
the
hands
of
God
aswell
as
their
heads
;
and
if
they
forsake
or
forget
him
and
what
he
hath
done
for
them
,
hee
in
Iustice
often
giues
them
ou●r
into
the
hands
of
their
enemies
.
I
enforce
no
man
to
beleeue
this
Narration
;
the
●robability
,
with
the
credit
of
the
Relator
,
and
the
●uccesse
,
haue
preuailed
with
me
to
accept
and
repor●●t
.
As
his
death
was
the
damnable
act
of
a
Iesuiticall
Assasinat
of
the
Romish
religion
,
so
this
admonition
●eares
the
shape
of
a
true
Israelit●
and
one
of
the
house
of
peace

PHAENIX
.
DEDICATED
To
the
honorable
KNIGHT
Sr.
ROBERT
RICHE
,
and
his
noble
LADY
.
THere
's
but
one
Phaenix
,
is
there
had
been
more
,
Your
names
had
stood
within
,
but
now
before
.
TH'
Arabian
Phaenix
,
being
noble
,
young
,
And
newly
from
his
fathers
ashes
sprung
,
Seeing
how
other
birds
did
louers
take
Of
their
owne
kind
,
would
needs
like
tr●●
ma●●
And
thought
by
what
good
course
he
might
preuent
His
doubted
ruine
,
and
seeme
prouident
,
Where
nature
(
as
he
iudg'd
)
defectiue
stood
,
In
leauing
single
,
such
an
absolute
good
.
His
meanes
was
marriage
,
married
he
would
be
,
But
where
to
choose
a
Mate
he
could
not
see
:
For
choose
hee
might
and
please
his
curious
eyne
,
Each
bird
made
suite
to
be
his
Valantine
.
The
Pehen
drest
her selfe
and
spred
her
taile
,
The
Turkey●hen
aduanc'd
her
spotted
saile
.
The
Turtle
left
her
mate
to
ioyne
with
him
,
The
Siluer-Swan
,
in
ruffled
pride
did
Swim
,
The
Parakite
,
and
Goldfinch
,
,
Citie
heires
,
Offer'd
him
loue
,
and
what
besides
was
theirs
:
The
courtly
Pheasant
gaudy
Pop●niay
,
In
varied
coloures
drest
themselues
that
day
:
The
sweet
Canary
singer
stroue
t'
excell
The
merry-making
mournefull
Ph●lomel
;
Who
left
deploring
,
and
did
mirth
preferre●
Wishing
the
Phaenix
would
haue
rauish't
her
.
All
these
,
with
all
besides
the
rest
excelling
,
Did
woo
him
,
proffer
loue
,
their
passions
telling
.
But
all
in
vaine
;
the
bird
of
Paradise
,
Had
with
her
pleasing
forme
bewitcht
his
eyes
.
He
wooes
,
and
winnes
her
too
,
with
small
adoe
,
"
Where
both
desire
,
both
parties
seeme
to
wooe
:
And
who
would
not
desire
so
rare
a
one
,
Whom
●ll
desire
,
him
to
enioy
alone
?
They
married
are
.
Opinions
equall
voice
,
Say
both
are
happy
in
each
others
choice
.
For
she
was
faire
,
and
rare
,
and
rich
,
and
young
,
And
wise
,
and
noble
,
and
full
sweetly
sung
;
In
●ll
complete
she
was
,
only
did
faile
,
Hauing
too
small
a
body
for
her
t●ile
.
This
fault
she
tooke
by
kinde
,
it
cost
her
nought
,
From
her
birth
place
the
frai●tie
first
she
brought
.
And
though
by
all
good
meanes
she
stroue
to
hide
This
naturall
blemi●h
,
still
it
was
espide
.
And
spied
the
more
,
because
this
corporall
ill
,
Being
single
here
,
did
each
mans
fancy
fill
.
"
That
disproportion
doubles
in
the
minde
,
"
Where
we
it
single
in
the
body
finde
.
And
so
it
fell
out
here
;
not
long
they
dwelt
In
peace
,
but
loues
fire
alteration
felt
,
And
gan
to
slake
and
coole
,
where
it
should
not
,
And
where
it
should
be
coole
,
it
waxed
hot
.
Shee
now
did
hate
and
loath
,
the
sweet
she
had
,
And
linger
after
something
that
was
bad
.
Her
taile
was
too
too
large
for
him
to
tread
,
He
too
too
little
her
to
ouer-spread
.
To
ouerspread
her
body
was
not
much
,
But
her
insatiate
taile
,
and
minde
was
such
.
So
weakest
stomacks
strongest
meates
desire
.
So
greatest
smoke
riseth
from
smallest
fire
.
So
slender
wits
great
matters
vndertake
.
So
swift
pursuite
,
doth
slow
performance
make
.
So
th'
appetite
,
by
impotence
is
mou'd
.
So
shee
(
though
little
)
eu'ry
great
thing
lou'd
.
She
lou'd
all
great
things
,
and
all
rare
things
sought
,
But
what
she
had
that
she
esteemed
nought
.
She
had
what
others
long'd
for
,
and
enioyde
What
all
desir'd
:
and
that
enioying
cloyde
.
And
now
she
ginnes
to
hate
,
and
wish
in
heart
,
A
fit
occasion
offer'd
were
to
part
.
But
wanting
such
,
shee
frames
one
:
doth
traduce
,
And
wound
his
honour
for
her
owne
excuse
.
And
still
pretending
modesty
a
cause
,
Immodestly
,
she
triall
claimes
by
lawes
.
Although
the
Phaenix
her
with
teares
did
woo
,
She
separation
sought
,
and
gets
it
too
.
The
sentence
past
,
she
Cynosure
doth
wed
,
An
vnknowne
fowle
,
by
th'
ayre
begot
and
bred
.
He
(
following
kind
)
trod
oft
,
and
quencht
her
heate
,
And
she
laid
oft
,
fild
many
a
neast
and
seate
With
addle
egges
;
but
neuer
bird
did
spring●
Out
of
those
●hells
,
nor
other
liuing
thing
.
Yet
some
in
their
opinions
counted
wise
,
Say
that
such
egges
do
hatch
the
Cockatrice
.
Yet
nothing
from
these
spurious
Embrions
came
But
naked
promises
,
and
open
shame
.
In
memory
of
whose
vnhappy
wombe
,
That
brought
dead
fruit
forth
,
like
a
liuing
tombe
,
(
Dead
fruit
,
much
like
faire
apples
all
of
smoake
,
Which
grow
in
Sodome
,
and
the
eaters
choake
,
)
Each
courtly
lady
now
vpon
their
head
,
Do
weare
a
bird
of
Paradise
,
instead
Of
a
light
feather
;
which
doth
warning
giue
,
How
free
from
lightnesse
,
Ladies
ought
to
liue
:
How
constant
they
should
be
,
how
firme
in
loue
:
Not
feather-like
,
apt
with
each
breath
to
moue
.
How
well
proportion'd
,
not
so
great
below
,
But
lesse
in
shew
,
and
more
in
truth
to
know
.
To
fit
the
bottome
with
an
equall
saile
,
And
not
to
ouer-top
the
head
with
taile
.
All
this
it
tells
them
,
and
doth
shew
beside
,
"
How
addle
egges
spring
out
of
lust
,
and
pride
.
"
How
noble
houses
by
ignoble
deeds
,
"
Bury
themselues
and
their
owne
ruine
br●eds
.
"
How
beautie
and
all
vert●es
of
the
minde
,
"
Conioynde
with
wealth
,
adorne
not
woman
kinde
:
"
Except
with
these
,
true
chastitie
be
plac'd
,
"
And
that
againe
,
by
modesty
be
grac'd
.
And
now
I
will
proceede
to
tell
my
story
,
How
sad
the
Phaenix
was
in
minde
,
how
sory
To
be
so
sleighted
and
so
ill
respected
,
By
her
for
whose
sake
,
he
had
all
neglected
.
This
wounds
his
heart
,
and
he
resolues
too
late
,
All
second
matches
for
the
first
to
hate
;
To
liue
alone
,
and
neuer
mor●
to
minde
Fond
alteration
,
in
the
course
of
kinde
.
But
griefe
perp●ex't
him
so
,
he
fear'd
to
die
,
E●●●e
were
fitted
for
posteritie
.
And
so
his
neast
vnmade
,
he
quickly
might
,
Both
life
,
and
nam●
,
and
memory
loose
out-right
This
to
pre●ent
,
his
●light
he
nimbly
takes
O're
hill●s
and
dales
,
o're
desarts
,
riu●rs
,
lakes
,
O're
kingdomes
,
countries
,
bounding
East
and
West
,
And
spices
gathers
vp
to
build
his
neast
.
Which
made
,
and
finding
still
●is
former
griefe
,
Not
cur'd
but
growing
desperate
of
reliefe
,
Him
better
seem'd
by
p●iuiledge
of
kinde
,
To
kill
his
body
,
and
renue
his
minde
:
To
leaue
g●iefe
where
it
breeds
with
earth
on
earth
,
And
●ecr●ate
his
spirit
with
spritly
birth
,
(
Li●●●re
,
which
touching
powder
straight
resolues
T●●
grosser
parts
;
and
eac●
it selfe
inuolues
In
its
owne
element
)
then
so
t'
out
weare
And
tyre
away
with
griefe
sixe
hundred
yeare
,
(
For
so
long
liues
the
Phae●ix
)
but
thought
he
,
"
So
long
●e
dies
that
liues
in
miserie
.
And
●herefore
soone
betakes
him
to
his
neast
,
Wherefore-prep●r'd
he
finds
his
funerall
drest
.
The
Sun
shi●es
bright
and
hot
,
he
with
his
wings
Makes
more
the
heate
:
&
sparkling
diamond
brings
,
Whose
strong
reflection
,
or
retention
rather
Either
beates
backe
the
heate
,
or
heate
doth
gather
.
Which
kindled
(
like
dri'd
leaues
with
burning
glasses
)
Consumes
the
neast
,
and
bird
,
and
all
to
ashes
.
Vpon
these
ashes
fruitfull
dewes
descend
,
And
the
hot
Sun
his
actiue
beames
do
b●nd
.
So
heate
and
moisture
twixt
them
procreate
,
A
silly
worme
vnlike
the
bird
in
state
.
But
time
doth
giue
it
growth
,
and
shape
,
and
feathers
,
And
still
perfection
from
each
houre
it
gathers
.
Till
to
the
former
equall
it
appeares
,
Or
rather
all
one
bird
,
except
in
yeares
.
The
rauenous
Vulture
wondring
long
had
stood
To
marke
all
this
,
within
a
neighbour
wood
.
Which
hauing
seene
,
ambition
pricks
her
so
,
That
she
resolues
what'euer
power
saith
no
,
Example
and
direction
hence
to
take
,
Her selfe
and
hers
all
Phaenixes
to
make
.
So
calls
she
first
the
Hee
,
and
then
the
young
:
And
thus
gan
speake
to
them
with
rauisht
tounge
.
How
much
my
power
hath
done
,
how
much
my
wit
,
You
know
,
yet
know
some
repetition
fit
.
I
do
the
Eagle
rule
,
(
the
birds
braue
King
)
And
worke
him
to
my
minde
in
euery
thing
.
He
preyes
on
whom
I
list
;
still
on
the
best
;
Eates
what
I
stint
him
,
and
leaues
you
the
rest
.
I
gouerne
euery
Hawke
,
or
bird
of
prey
;
Such
as
confront
the
Eagle
,
me
obay
;
And
make
me
sharer
in
their
richest
prize
,
And
how
to
please
me
best
,
best
meanes
deuise
.
I
that
despise
Religion
,
scorne
all
law
,
Do
binde
all
other
birds
to
both
by
awe
:
To
both
for
my
aduantage
,
else
you
know
I
can
prophane
the
Temple
well
enough
;
Pollute
the
Altar
;
search
the
graue
,
each
tombe
,
And
dig
out
of
the
priuiledged
wombe
Of
hallow'd
earth
,
dainties
for
you
to
lurch
,
Mans
flesh
,
enshrined
in
the
sacred
Church
.
You
know
I
foster
Souldiers
not
for
loue
,
But
to
breed
warres
;
the
slaine
my
prey
still
proue
.
All
sorts
,
professions
,
kinds
,
I
prey
vpon
,
When
their
sweete
slesh
is
turn'd
to
carrion
.
For
carrion
is
my
food
,
let
others
kill
And
hazzard
life
for
life
,
we
safely
will
Eate
the
vnfortunate
,
the
weake
,
distressed
,
Whom
want
enfeebled
,
mightie
power
oppressed
.
This
is
our
practise
.
But
I
cald
ye
now
For
higher
aimes
:
to
giue
you
notice
how
We
may
aspire
in
royaltie
and
pride
Aboue
the
Eagle
,
and
all
birds
beside
.
Much
time
,
much
study
,
with
full

intelligence
Of
a
rare
secret
,
which
exceedeth
farre
Th'
Alchi●isters
Idol
,
call'd
th'
Elixar

This
is
,
to
vnderstand
and
know
aright
,
What
course
to
take
,
and
how
we
compasse
might
The
glorious
eminence
,
the
singular
grace
,
The
famous
Phaenix
hath
in
euery
place
:
How
to
attaine
her
nature
,
beauty
,
state
;
And
without
copulatio●
procreate
.
At
l●ngth
my
wit
,
my
industry
,
and
chance
Concurring
,
did
this
happinesse
aduance●
For
watching
lately
,
as
I
often
did
,
In
desart
vast
,
among
thicke
bushes
hid
,
I
saw
(
vnseene
)
the
mysterie
throughout
,
And
can
resolue
each
rite
,
each
scrupulous
doubt
.
The
circumstance
were
needlesse
,
whil'st
the
fact
Shall
manifest
each
seuerall
Scene
,
and
act
,
With
happy
issue
;
and
accomplish
so
Our
wishes
,
that
we
shall
amazed
goe
;
Amazed
goe
,
to
see
our selues
so
low
,
So
soone
to
such
a
pitch
of
glory
grow
:
So
soone
translated
,
metamorphosed
,
And
new
created
from
the
foot
to
head
:
Beyond
our
hopes
,
report
,
the
present
station
Of
other
birds
,
almost
to
adoration
.
Enquire
not
how
,
but
each
prepare
t'
obay
,
What
I
command
;
performance
leads
the
way
.
Hie
on

hie
all
,
to

And
through
the
whole

make
a
scrutinie
For

,
Rare
pretious
stones
,

,

Bring
them
together
,
lay
them
on

hill
,
And

successe

my
deep

.
The
young
ones
all
obayde
,
but
then
the
Male
Staid
long
t'
enquire
the
reason
of
this
tale
.
Yet
long
he
durst
not
stay
,
lest
shee
from
thence
Should
beate
him
for
his
arrogant
offence
:
For
females
of
all
rauening
fowles
beare
sway
,
And
the
blacke
Vulture
is
a
bird
of
prey
.
The
male
ne're
meddles
with

,
meat
,
or
nest
:
But
shee
commands
,
and
he
sits
like
a
guest
.
He
seeing
her
incenst
,
away
doth
post
Ore
many
Seas
,
and
many
an
vnknowne
Coast
,
And
all
the
world
surueyes
from
East
to
West
,
From
North
to

and
gathers
what
is
best
;
Sweet

They
would
haue
flowne
away

but
't
was
too

.
Quoth
shee

dies

With
that
she
sinkes
,
her

and
all
combust
Her

turn'd

Which
tells
vs
this
:
Pride
still
doth
ouer-build
.
●Folly

not
in
architecture
skill'd
.
●Wit
frames
his
Plot
according
to

●And

●And

Epimythium
.
The
Phaenix
betokens
vnitie
in
Religion
.
This
was
proper
to
the
Iew●s
,
but
they
forsooke
it
,
as
the
bird
of
Paradice
did
the
Phaenix
.
Then
it
came
to
the
Gentiles
and
seemed
to
returne
to
its
owne
nature
to
be
vniuersall
,
not
tyed
to
place
,
or
Nation
,
or
person
.
The
Phaenix
died
,
and
out
of
the
ashes
arose
a
new
Phae●ix
.
Christ
came
not
to
destroy
but
fulfill
the
Law.
The
old
faith
remaines
which
was
first
preached
in
Paradice
,
the
ceremonies
only
are
abolish●d
by
the
pr●sence
of
the
thing
signified
.
That
seems
another
,
which
is
the
same
truth
.
Wee
Christians
possesse
what
the
Iewes
expected
.
They
are
diuorced
(
with
the
bird
of
Paradice
)
for
their
vnfaithfulnesse
and
vnbeleefe
;
now
they
are
wedded
to
the
Cynosure
their
owne
wils
and
stiffe-necked
opinions
and
traditions
.
They
tread
and
cac●le
,
and
lay
egges
;
addle
egges
or
rather
adders
egges
,
egges
of
winde
without
fruit
,
which
neuer
proue
birds
.
They
expect
in
vaine
an
other
Messias
to
saue
them
,
till
the
true
Messias
is
ready
to
come
to
iudge
them
.
They
are
a
scattred
people
,
hatefull
to
all
where
they
inhabite
.
The
●Vulture
and
her
brood
is
the
Clergie
of
Rome
;
where
the
shee
or
female
preuailes
.
Shee
will
be
called
the
Mother
Church
,
which
is
truly
the
whore
of
Babylon
,
the
malignant
Church
,
the
Aduersarie
,
the
Antichrist
.
Shee
builds
to
her
owne
ruine
,
her
power
and
policie
shall
ouerthrow
it selfe
.
Shee
shall
burne
in
her
owne

.
Let
all
such
therefore
as

Good
day
my
friend
to
you
and
eke
to
vs.
We
three
are
met
to
argue
and
debate
Which
of
vs
liueth
in
the
happiest
state
;
Whether
the
ayre
,
the
earth
,
or
fire
doth
giue
To
what
they
breed
best
sustenance
to
liue
.
And
we
would
gladly
heare
how
farre
the
sea
May
with
fire
,
ayre
,
and
earth
compared
be
.
You
happily
we
met
as
we
would
wish
,
Being
a
prompt
,
deep
diuing
,
subtle
fish
,
And
ablest
to
resolue
vs.
Come
then
show
The
life
you
lead
,
and
learne
our
liues
to
know
.
The
Lamprey
soone
consents
.
And
first
the
Mole
Doth
thus
begin
.
Deare
friends
I
left
my
hole
To
breath
the
open
ayre
(
whose
light
I
hate
)
T'
acquaint
yee
with
the
blessings
of
my
state
.
And
to
perswade
ye
,
if
you
loue
your
rest
To
liue
with
me
in
peace
,
and
plenty
blest
.
It
fits
me
first
to
speake
,
for
I
had
first
My
being
,
long
before
the
earth
was
curst
.
Darkenesse
was
not
created
;
t
is
as
old
As
that
great
workeman
which
the
whole
doth
mold
But
light
was
made
long
after
,
and
doth
show
,
That
ignorance
is
elder
then
to
know
.
The
workmans
selfe
in
cloudy
darknes
keeps
;
For
no
eye
sees
or
when
he
wakes
or
sleepes
.
He
loues
not
euery
curious
foole
should
see
What
ioyes
,
what
treasures
,
in
obliuion
bee
.
The
worthy
Grecian
would
haue
learn'd
that
Art
,
For
ignorance
is
wisdoms
better
part
.
When
all
was
Chaos
first
the
Center
stood
,
And
all
the
solide
parts
,
call'd
Earth
.
The
flood
Was
next
being
ponderous
.
The
ayre
flew
higher
;
And
as
a
hedge
to
all
was
placed
fire
.
What
first
was
plac'd
was
worthiest
,
&
brought
fort●
The
first
of
creatures
,
and
best
things
of
worth
.
And
first
it
brought
forth
things
that
were
below
;
The
roote
had
life
,
before
the
fruit
did
g●ow
.
And
we
(
earths
darlings
)
had
our
shape
within
Ere
you
without
.
Nor
doe
th'
effects
of
sin
(
Ambitious
sin
which
light
and'knowledge
sought
And
(
fondly
curious
)
blinde
obedience
thought
A
base
director
)
so
afflict
and
kill
Vs
h●re
within
;
as
you
who
share
in
ill
Of
punishment
and
guilt
,
with
foolish
man
;
Yet
no
way
from
his
rule
acquit
ye
can
.
You
dwell
with
him
,
and
dye
with
him
.
But
we
Are
earth
by
nature
,
procreated
free
.
And
our
forefathers
customes
still
obay
,
Doe
as
they
did
,
and
follow
their
blind
way
.
Not
striuing
busily
our
wits
t'
approue
By
searching
doubts
,
but
rather
shew
our
loue
,
By
louing
eu●n
their
errors
that
are
gone
,
Or
reuerently
beleeuing
they
had
none
.
Our
dyet
is
most
choice
,
on
rootes
to
feed
,
And
rellish
first
the
sweet
of
euery
seed
.
You
liue
on
th'
excrement
,
and
do
not
know
,
That
fundamentall
vertue
springs
below
.
Besides
you
liue
like
slaues
,
but
I
am
free
,
Though
bloudy-minded
Man
oft
seeks
for
me
.
The
Lyo●
did
pretend
because
I
haue
Foure
feet
,
that
I
by
nature
was
his
slaue
:
He
call'd
for
this
a
Councell
,
sent
for
me
To
sweare
to
his
seruile
supremacie
.
But
I
(
refusing
th'
othe
)
to
spite
him
more
Did
vndermine
his
Councell-chamber
flore
And
had
not
light
(
damn
d
light
)
my
plot
bewraide●
He
had
to
hell
s●nke
by
the
traine
I
laide
.
But
light
discouered
me
,
and
since
that
deed
I
loath
light
more
,
and
so
in
darknesse
breed
.
Darknes
thou
sweet
companion
,
friend
of
sleepe
,
How
I
delight
in
thee
.
With
thee
doth
keepe
All
that
man
seeks
for
,
euery
secret
plot
,
Darke
mysterie
,
close
sttatagem
;
what
not
?
Inuisible
wealth
,
with
treasures
manifold
,
But
chiefe
Mans
soule
,
his
god
,
almighty
gold
.
This
Man
knowes
well
,
and
knowing
learnes
of
me
To
dig
and
delue
till
in
his
graue
he
be
.
Then
all
proclaime
him
happy
:
say
he
is
At
peace
and
rest
,
and
doth
emoy
all
blisse
.
And
such
say
truth
:
for
he
returnes
againe
To
his
first
being
,
and
doth
so
remaine
.
"
Contentment
with
darke
ignorance
doth
dwell
,
"
And
light
and
knowledge
only
maketh
hell
.
Then
without
farther
strife
liue
all
with
mee
,
If
you
will
taste
no
paines
,
nor
errors
see
.
The
changeable
Chamelion
laught
out-right
,
To
heare
the
blinde
Mole
raile
so
much
at
light
.
And
said
;
Your
darker
spirits
can't
conceiue
,
The
blessed
fruit
,
that
we
from
light
receiue
.
Let
fooles
depend
on
faith
implicatiue
,
Wise-men
into
the
depth
of
truth
will
diue
.
Darknesse
and
ignorance
,
which
you
suppose
Had
an
eternall
being
,
are
the
foes
Of
all
eternall
beings
;
and
indeed
Are
voide
in
nature
without
fruit
,
root
,
seed
.
Darknesse
is
but
the
absence
of
cleare
light
.
As
error
is
the
ignorance
of
right
.
So
these
two
are
vacuities
,
want
being
;
Not
seene
by
others
,
nor
yet
others
seeing
.
From
nothing
,
nothing
springs
;
something
there
was
From
whence
this
vniuersall
frame
,
this
Masse
Of
strange
agreeing
contrarieties
,
Had
essence
:
and
't
was
something
that
had
eyes
:
For
sure
it
was
not
ignorance
,
nor
night
,
They
could
not
see
to
order
things
so
right
.
But
it
was
knowledge
,
wisedome
,
light
,
and
truth
,
Figur'd
in
mature
age
,
and
actiue
youth
.
The
priuiledge
you
plead
,
Antiquitie
,
Proues
onely
,
that
of
old
you
vs
de
to
lye
;
And
that
all
truth
you
hate
,
for
truth
doth
run
Still
to
the
light
,
and
you
the
light
do
shun
.
And
where
you
challenge
your
creation
first
;
It
is
not
like
,
Nature
would
make
the
worst
Before
the
best
;
except
this
can
preferre
Your
claime
,
that
as
young
workemen
vse
to
erre
In
their
first
workes
;
so
Nature
first
did
try
To
make
right
eyes
,
by
making
yours
awry
.
Much
rather
truth
it
is
,
she
did
bestow
,
Labour
in
framing
others
;
but
for
you
,
She
left
you
to
corruption
,
night
,
and
chance
,
Which
made
you●
eies
such
,
such
your
countenance
.
And
your
tame-blinde
obedience
well
befits
Such
earth-bred
,
doltish
,
dull
,
and
sluggish
wits
.
But
ayerie
Spirits
acquainted
with
the
light
,
Will
not
be
led
by
custome
from
the
right
.
No
loue
,
no
friends
,
no
predecessor
shall
Peruert
their
iudgements
;
they
examine
all
.
And
for
the
food
ye
boast
to
eat
boast
still
;
No
root
,
herbe
,
fruit
of
yours
,
I
handle
will.
They
are
corr●pted
.
Ayre
doth
only
giue
True
nourishment
,
and
happiest
meanes
to
liue
.
The
sick-man
shewes
this
,
who
the
weather
fayre
,
Remooues
for
health
,
from
close
to
th'
open
ayre
.
And
for
the
light
,
your
death
doth
it
approoue
;
When
onl●
then
your
eyes
are
seen
to
moue
.
Then
you
begin
to
see
,
and
loath
the
kinde
Which
being
blind
themselues
brought
you
vp
blind
,
Bereauing
you
of
many
a
bles●ed
sight
,
Which
we
enioy
,
●ho
loue
and
liue
in
light
.
Your
freedom
from
all
beasts
I
like
.
T'
is
ill
●o
be
s●bi●cted
to
anothers
will
:
B●t
that
to
your
superiors
I
do
hate
,
And
therefore
am
exilde
from
euery
state
:
I
liue
a
poore
thin
creature
,
by
the
ayer
;
My selfe
I
feed
with
hopes
,
others
with
prayer
.
My
eyes
I
oft
lift
vp
,
and
roole
about
,
D●siring
to
be
s●en

But
neither
with

nor

Supply
the
l●ast
defect
of
others
lacke

I
beare
no
Wooli
to

,
no

to

;
Let
sh●ep
,
and
Calues
,
relecue
the

that

I
rauisht
go
with
a
distracted
looke
,
A●d
turne
my
mind
,
still
,
as
I
turne
my
booke
,
My
will
doth
lead
my
conscience
,
not
my
wit.
And
euery
riddle
for
my
purpose
fit
:
Hating
whats'ere
is
old
,
I
loue
the
new
And
to
all
purposes
,
change
my
ready
hue
.
My
flesh
is
low
,
my
spirit
high
and
prowd
Doth
contradict
what
order
hath
allow'd
.
I
fast
when
others
feast
,
feast
when
they
fast
,
And
with
Angelicall
food
,
I
do
out-last
All
Gormandiz●rs
.
Come
then
,
liue
with
me
All
that
loue
life
,
and
light
,
and
would
be
free
.
The
Salamander
hearing
this
discourse
,
Sayd
.
Sure
you
both
do
argue
without
force
.
Darke
ignorance
our
nature
doth
contemne
:
And
curious
search
wise
Magistrates
condemne
By
blindnesse
we
our
wants
and
dotage
shew
:
To
those
,
not
reuerence
but
reproch
is
due
.
Not
priuatiue
blindn●sse
,
our
antiquitie
showes
,
But
onely
that
which
by
long
seeing
growes
.
But
you
blinde
Mole
do
ignorance
affect
,
Which
breeds
derision
,
scorne
and
dis-respect
.
For
what
a
sensel●sse
part
is
this
in
you
,
Your
fathers
●aults
and
errours
to
allow
?
And
not
much
rather
to
reforme
your
owne
,
By
shunning
the
defects
,
which
they
haue
showne
?
Your
food
is
grosse
and
earthly
;
dirt
and
mould
Mixt
with
old
roots
,
do
much
corruption
hold
.
Yet
(
though
they
gin
to
die
,
with
age
and
wither
)
The
good
with
bad
(
being
old
)
you
cram
togither
.
This
makes
my
fiery
spirit
scorne
to
keep
I●
your
darke
celles
,
where
knowledge
seems
to
sleep
.
But
you
Chameleon
with
a
hand
too
bold
,
Oppose
,
contemne
,
and
scorne
,
whats'ere
is
old
.
You
onely
loue
to
see
,
but
not
to
doo
,
You
dote
on
knowledge
and
on
error
too
.
"
T'
is
error
,
in
our
sight
to
ou●r●eene
,
"
And
but
our
owne
,
all
iudgements
dis-esteeme
:
"
T'
is
error
to
be
fondly
ouer-wise
,
"
Too
pure
,
too
iust
,
too
perfect
,
too
precise
.
There
is
a
meane●
For
knowledge
sure
doth
liue
"
Onely
,
where
it
doth
good
to
others
giue
.
You
too
too
sawcie
hidden
secrets
handle
,
And
too
too
fond
your
o●ne
conceits
doe
dandle
,
And
cocker
with
obseruance
:
being
so
A
friende
to
superstition
,
though
a
foe
.
The
light
you
vse
,
is
borrowed
not
your
owne
,
The
colours
that
you
see
,
their
ground
vnknowne
.
Your
darke
imperfect
,
double
glimmering
sight
,
Is
but
th'
extended
beames
of
greater
light
.
Arising
from
vicinitie
of
fire
,
To
which
the
purest
elements
aspire
In
their
refined
parts
;
the
earth
in
gold
And
pretious
stones
,
doe
most
resemblance
hold
;
The
sea
in
salt
,
in
Pearles
,
in
dewes
that
rise
,
And
to
the
Sonne-ward
with
ambition
flies
;
The
Ayre
in
colous
and
in
Meteors
bright
,
Which
the
Sunnes
place
vsurpe
in
darkest
night
.
T
is
fire
alone
that
searcheth
and
refines
,
And
doth
diuide
the
grosse
from
purer
mines
.
T
is
fire
that
makes
grasse
,
herbe
,
andtree
to
grow
:
Meltes
the
seas
Icie
chaines
,
and
th'
earths
cold
snow
.
It
cheares
the
young
,
it
cherisheth
the
old
,
Reuiues
the
dying
,
makes
the
Coward
bold
.
Nothing
without
it
can
be
said
to
liue
,
Whats'ere
hath
being
,
it
doth
glory
giue
.
Which
makes
me
to
determine
,
that
the
light
Which
you
inuisible
call
,
is
but
a
sprite
Made
by
your
feare
,
and
strong
imagination
,
Without
true
being
,
essence
,
or
foundation
.
For
light
the
greater
't
is
,
doth
more
appeare
;
So
should
that
light
of
lights
,
if
such
there
were
.
My
indgement
therefore
in
this
rule
doth
runne
,
There
's
nothing
greater
then
the
glorious
Sunne
,
Here
I
set
downe
my
rest
.
And
for
the
schooles
,
That
teach
beleefe
,
let
them
still
tutor
fooles
.
From
your
contention
,
my
instruction
sprung
;
And
thus
I
learn'd
to
thinke
when
I
was
young
.
The
Mole
doth
feede
too
much
on
earthly
meat
,
And
the
Chameleon
nought
but
ayre
doth
eat
.
I
neither
like
your
fast
,
nor
yet
your
feasting
,
For
twixt
you
two
all
earnest
turnes
to
ieasting
.
And
doth
perswade
me
thinke
,
there
is
no
food
,
In
earth
or
ayre
,
that
doth
or
hurt
,
or
good
.
So
all
my
knowledge
,
practise
,
life
,
doth
chime
,
According
to
the
current
,
state
,
and
time
.
I
thinke
they
'r
only
gulls
that
liue
in
awe
Of
any
thing
but
want
,
death
,
and
the
law
.
I
quench
all
fiery
zeal
wheres'ere
I
co●e
;
And
would
haue
Policie
speake
,
Religion
dumbe
.
I
poyson
with
my
breath
,
both
foe
and
friend
,
And
to
my
pleasuredo●
each
proiect
bend
:
In
briefe
I
onely
am
a
freeman
borne
,
Who
loue
my
s●lfe
alone
,
and
others
scorne
.
The
Lamprey
hearing
this
damn'd
Atheist
tell
,
A
tale
befitting
none
b●t
Machiuael
,
Thrust
his
eye-guarded
h●ad
aboue
the
brim
,
Of
the
rug'd
waues●
and
to
the
shore
did
swim
.
And
on
his
slippery
belly
gan
to
slide
,
Till
he
came
neere
the
Salamanders
side
.
Thou
cursed
slaue
(
q●oth
he
)
though
I
proceed
From
some
of
thy
neere
kin
,
of
serpents
seed
.
And
am
halfe
serpent
,
as
thou
wholly
art
,
Yet
I
am
halfe
a
fish
;
and
euen
that
part
Prouokes
me
contradict
the
cursed
note
,
Which
thou
didst
vomit
from
thy
venomd
throat
.
Thy
Pedigree
is
lineally
detiued
From
that
great
Serpent
,
which
at
first
depriued
The
rest
of
feet
;
and
being
ouer-wise
Gull'd
credulous
man
of
glorious
paradise
.
Still
thou
partak'st
that
nature
,
and
each
tree
,
Thy
tongue
or
teeth
touch
,
so
infected
be
In
root
and
fruit
,
that
who
so
eats
doth
die
,
Poyson'd
b'accurst
,
cold
infidelitie
.
Too
light
beleefe
,
and
too
too
earnest
thirst
Of
curious
knowledge
,
causde
de●th
enter
first
:
But
now
thy
skill
hath
brought
it
so
about
,
That
hearing
,
seeing
,
feeling
,
still
we
doubt
.
And
flying
one
extreame
,
we
fondly
fall
Into
the
contrary
;
wise
,
fooles
,
and
all
.
"
Yet
blindnesse
better
is
,
then
hauing
eyes
,
"
Not
t'
acknowledge
truthes
,
but
count
them
lye●
.
"
T'
is
better
to
be
doubtfull
what
we
know
,
"
Then
to
be
Truthes
profest
and
open
foe
.
The
Mole
and
the
Chameleon
better
are
,
And
neerer
truth
,
then
thou
thy selfe
by
farre
.
Yet
the
Cham●leon
somewhat
doth
resemble
Thy
nature
,
but
he
can
more
close
dissemble
.
He
is
not
so
prophane
,
so
impious
,
bold
,
To
call
all
truth
in
doubt
,
both
new
and
old
;
Though
he
giues
darknesse
not
the
praise
he
ought
,
And
too
too
curious
,
after
knowledge
sought
:
Yet
he
confesseth
that
there
is
a
light
He
cannot
see
,
through
th'
impotence
of
sight
.
But
you
all
light
and
knowledge
do
confine
Within
the
Sunne
,
as
if
it
were
diuine
:
And
like
a
desperate
traytor
,
foolish
theefe
,
From
art
and
nature
steale
,
to
kill
beleefe
.
Come
then
good
fellowes
(
quoth
the
Lamprey
)
take
This
monster
vp
against
vs
;
let
vs
make
Him
an
exampl●
of
our
iustice
showne
,
Vpon
Truthes
foe
,
so
manifestly
knowne
.
With
that
he
nimbly
twines
himselfe
about
The
Salamander
(
being
quicke
and
stour
:
)
Chameleon
and
the
Mole
,
the
Lampr●y
aide
Which
makes
the
Salamander
much
disinay'd
.
Yet
he
doth
lay
about
with
tongue
,
teeth
,
nailes
,
And
bites
them
all
,
but
oddes
at
length
pr●uailes
.
And
they
remaining
victors
cast
him
downe
F●om
the
steepe
cliffe
,
and
so
the
Atheist
drowne
.
Then
comming
backe
,
they
two
the
Lamprey
pray
His
wi●e
opinion
of
their
st●ife
to
say
:
That
they
may
know
to
which
part
he
enclines
Whether
to
darknesse
,
or
where
spl
ndor
shines
.
He
soone
consents
,
and
tells
how
he
(
by
kinde
B●ed
and
brought
vp
in
●u●
)
is
of
the
minde
The
Mole
spake
truth
.
For
happinesse
(
quoth
he
)
"
Consists
in
what
we
haue
,
not
what
we
see
.
And
sight
prouokes
vs
wish
,
and
couet
change
And
so
in
boundl●sse
,
endlesse
,
toyle
we
range
.
"
He
that
knowes
most
,
knowes
best
what
he
doth
misse
,
"
The
losse
of
Parad●se
is
only
this
.
"
Th●
simple
innocent
truth
this
instance
fameth
;
"
Man
in
the
darke
being
naked
nothing
shameth
.
Thus
he
discourst
,
then
tells
how
he
behaues
Himselfe
in
darkn●sse
,
vnder●eath
the
waues
.
How
he
prefers
old
gnorance
,
before
N●w
K●owledge
,
and
(
I
wot
)
knowes
cause
therefore
.
Shewes
how
for
this
opinion
he
was
brought
Before
the
Whale
,
yet
lo●g
in
vaine
was
sought
:
Tells
how
he
scapes
the
sear●h
b●
many
creeks
And
winding
holes
,
when
Hipp●a
him
seeks
:
For
they
(
Phoenician
Cre●ishes
being
swift
)
Are
Purseuants
which
he
can
hardly
shift
:
Yet
he
hath
learned
counsell
,
who
directs
His
whole
proceeding
when
he
ought
suspects
.
First
subtle
Polypus
to
whom
he
cleaues
,
And
seeming
part
of
him
the
search
deceaues
.
The
turbulent
Cuttle
,
who
doth
raise
the
mud
,
Aud
such
a
colour
mingle
with
the
flood
,
That
no
eye
can
discouer
where
he
lies
,
And
so
he
often
scapes
the
craftie
spies
.
Then
creepes
to
stones
that
lye
on
silt
and
sand
,
(
Not
to
the
corner-stone
on
stedfast
land●
)
And
if
by
chance
they
finde
him
spite
of
these
,
And
so
attach
him
,
then
he
can
with
ease
Slip
through
their
fingers
,
or
himselfe
vnwinde
,
By
leauing
some
part
of
his
slime
behinde
.
He
can
equiuocate
,
and
double
so
,
That
●uery
way
at
once
he
seemes
to
go
.
Yet
once
he
taken
was
,
and
brought
to
triall
,
Where
with
his
doubtfull
answer●
,
stif●e
deniall
,
Low
crowching
,
smoth
conueyance
,
flattering
guise
He
scap't
th'
Exchequer
,
Prison
,
and
th'
A●s
;
si●e
.
Then
being
askt
,
why
darker
ignorance
Before
the
light
he
did
in
speech
aduance
.
He
answers
,
first
it
was
to
try
his
wit
;
Not
that
he
held
it
,
to
be
true
or
fit
.
Againe
,
because
●inall
vse
of
light
he
had
,
He
to
make
some
fooles
like
himselfe
was
glad●
With
these
slye
answers
,
and
great
friends
beside
,
And
faithfull
bribes
,
he
did
from
danger
glide
:
And
such
fe●'d
friends
he
had
in
euery
Court
,
And

,
at

Of

in

To

●en
shewes
he
how
the

he
had
two

(

The
Mole
is
the
blinde

obstinate
,
refractary
Romish
Catholike
,
who
hath
no
other
answere
or
reason
for
any
article
of

or
point
of
religion
,
but
this
:
My
predecessors
were
of
this
opinion
,
and
they
were
wiser
then
I
am
.
His
Positions

2.
Caeca

3.

He
obeyes
that
which
he
calls
the
mother
Church
,
before
God
,
who
is
his
heauenly
Father
.
For
he
had
rather
breake
ten
of
his
commandements
then
one
of
hers
.
Gods
Sabboth
day
is
his
play●day
,
and
euery

his

.
What
hee
spends
on
Christmas

,
hee
spares
on
Ashwednesday
,
and
Goodfriday

And
this
is
his
generall

two

The

is
in

a

He
liues
by

there
builds
Castles

Churches●
none
on

earth
will
please
him

He
would
be
of
the
triumphant

glorious
Church
,
but
not
of
the
terrene
militant
Church
,
which
is
subject
to
stormes

deformities

he

findeout
Sr.

&
be
an
Elder
there
:
In
this
point
,
and
in
that
of
r●●isting
ciuill
gouernours
,
he
seems
the
same
with
the
Romish
Catholicke

What

can

Th●
Ostrich
answers
;
Sir
I
do
not

This
iron
,
as
you
thinke
I
do
,
for
meate
.
I
only
keepe
it
,
lay
it
vp
in

,
To
helpe
my
needy
friends
,
and
friendlesse
poore
.
I
often
meere
(

Many

Se●uing

Such
I

helpe
in

With
trauellers
I
meete
that
are
beset
By
theeues

Then
I
beget
My selfe
a●ong

present
Out
of

ready

,
A

or

To

the

,
and
the

The
Merchant
mus'de
(
as
well
he
might
)
at
this
,
And
thought
within
himselfe
;
this
fellow
is
Most
fit
for
my
imployment
,
I
will
straight
Hire
him
to
be
my
Bailiefe
.
No
deceit
Lurkes
in
his
simple
shew
;
he
'le
surely
keepe
,
My
plow-yrons
,
when
my
lazie
hindes
do
sleepe
.
This
to
the
Ostrich
motion'd
,
he
agrees
,
The
wages
are
set
downe
,
the
vailes
,
the
fees
,
The
liuory
,
with
circumstance
enough
,
And
they
come

And
now
God
speed
the
〈◊〉
The
Ostrich
carefully
laies
vp
the
rakes
,
The
pitch-forke
teines
,
the
yron-pointed
stakes
,
The
wedges
,
hammer

hatchet
,
and

with

He
needs
no
locke
and
key
to
keepe
them
vnder
,
But
keeps
both
lock
&
key
,
where
you
wold
wonder
.
Then
comes
into
the
house
,
puts
vp
the
gun
,
The
sword
and
dagger
;
and
when
this
is
done
,
Deuoures
the
dripping-pan
,
the
cob-irons

spit

And
swallowes
all
the

The
Merchant
prais'd
his
fortune
,
that
he
had
Got
one
so
good
,
'
mongst
many
seruants
bad
.
Told
him
he
shortly
would
his
state
preferre
,
From
being
Bailiffe
,
to
be
Treasurer
;
For
he
could
not
inuent
a
surer
hold
,
Then
th'
Ostrich
had
for
siluer
,
or
for
gold
.
And
now
the
Merchant
leauing
one
at
home
,
That
he
may
well
trust
,
goes
abroad
to
rome
:
Neglects
his
house
and
lands
,
thinkes
all
is
well
,
And
as
he
wont
to
doe
,
doth
buy
and
sell
.
Mongst
other
things
he
sold
,
because
the
warres
Began
afresh
,
he
truct
for
yron
barres
.
For
he
was
one
of
those
that
would
for
gaine
:
Sell
bullets
,
where
they
were
shot
home
againe
,
And
did
our
Mines
and
Woods

Ordnance
wast
,
Which
spite
of
lawes
,
he
to
the
Enemie
past
,
Much
yrone
he
had
at
home
,
and
sold
beside
All
kinde
of
armour
fit
for
such
a
tide
.
So
home
he
comes
glad
of
so
good
a
mart
,
For
here
he
knowes
the
Ostrich
playes
the
part
Of
a
good
Bailiffe
.
He
may
easily
thriue
,
When
such
a
full
winde
doth
his
fortune
driue
.
His
land
he
finds
vntill'd
,
he
wonders
then
And
thinkes
the
fault
rests
on
his
lazy
Men.
They
say
they
wanted
yrons
for
the
plough
,
He
wonders
,
for
the
Bailiffe
had
enough
.
He
findes
his
house
all
naked
,
not
a
bit
Of
meate
prepar'd
,
the
Cooke
wants
pot
,
and
spit●
He
goes
to
bed
,
the
theeues
assault
his
house
:
He
hath
no
weapon
to
resist
a
Mouse
.
H●
riseth
early
,
lookes
for

,
The
place
remaines

no

His

are
gone
,
his

and
all

Now
to

he
doth
call

The
Seruants
ioyne
in

first

And
shew
their

,
●ow
hard
he
was

curst
.
How
he
kept
backe
their
wages
and
their
meate
,
And
gaue
them
worke
,
but
gaue
them
not
to
eate
.
How
he
neere
hand
had
made
a
monstrous
neast
,
Where
whilst
they
fasted
,
he
and
his
did
feast
.
And
thither
he
conuaide
the
yron
worke
Where
the
she
Ostrich
and
his
young
did
lurke
;
Who
swallow'd
all
:
for
they
haue
mawes
as
large
As
culuerings
,
which
would
as
soone
discharge
The
yron
loade
;
and
sooner
farre
would
spend
,
And
bring
a
world
of
wealth
to
lauish
end
.
The
Ostrich
to
excuse
himselfe
bewraies
The
place
where
safely
he
this
yron
layes
.
Carries
him
to
a
priuate
hole
,
where
still
He
dung'd
,
when
he
his
maw
did
ouer-fill
.
Quoth
he
if
you
can
good
distinction
make
,
Each
seuerall
peece
you
may
from
hence
vptake
.
The
plow-geares
,
cart-geares
,
and
the
toole
for
war
,
Spits
,
pots
,
and
cobirons
,
here
together
are
.
Each
wedge
,
knife
,
hammer
,
and
the
smallest
naile
,
Drawne
lymbick
wise
through
stomacke
,
guts
&
taile
It
's
a
rare
chymicall
extraction
now
,
Better
then
all
the
drugs
the
Mount-bankes
show
.
It
passeth
our
elixar
,
or
the
stone●
Sought
for
by
many
,
but
attaind
by
none
.
Th'
obstruction
of
the
Liuer
,
and
the
spleene
,
It
opens
,
mollifies
,
and
purgeth
cleane
.
A
secret
t'
is
assured
,
for
madnesse
,
folly
,
Wild
i●alousie
,
and
cloudy
melancholly
,
It
cures
the
Gout
,
and
qualifies
the
cause
,
Suppling
a
hide-bound
purse
like
th'
oile
of

:
It
dries
vp
humours
,
humours
that
a
bound
,
And
mans
weake
body
it
makes
safe
and
sound
.
The
merchant
stood
amaz'd
,
but
at
the
last
,
He
seazde
vpon
the
Ostrich
,
held
him
fast
:
Made
him
be
tide
be●inde
a
horse
,
and
stript
,
(
His
buttocks
bare
as
now
they
be
)
and
whipt
.
Ransackt
his
neast
,
and
brake
before
his
face
His
egs
,
though
his
poore
Hen
in
hope
of
grace
,
Did
sue
for
their
repriuall
.
But
in
vaine
,
He
look●s
to
finde
his
Iron
there
againe
.
Which
missing
he
proceedes
,
exiles
him
quite
,
And
then
vpon
his
gate
this
note
doth
write
.
Let
Rich-men
wisely
feare
,
All
such
as
feathers
weare
,
It
's

whats'ere

And
soone

The

To

rheume
;
But
th'
vse
they
neuer
faile
To

The
Ostrich
euer
since
his

lost

Goes
like
a

rogue
at

post

He
hates
a

to

since

was

,
And
for

,
ti'de
at

He
hides
his

,
and

thereto
side
.
Much
harme
and
spoile
he
did
,
for
none
could
passe
But
fild
his
pouch
,
if
bird
,
beast
,
fish
,
it
was
.
At
length
th'
oppressed
birds
,
with
fish
,
and
beast
,
Petition
to
their
Soueraignes
,
and
request
Aide
and
protection
gainst
the
open
wrong
,
This
tyrant
daily
did
,
and
had
done
long
.
The
beasts
vnto
the
Lyon
made
complaint
.
Birds
to
the
Eagle
.
Fishes
did
acquaint
The
Seas
great
Emperour
the
Whale
.
with
griefe
,
They
all
sustain'd
,
and
all
implor'd
reliefe
.
Long
was
it
ere
they
could
be
heard
,
for
still
,
The
Cormorant
,
(
for
so
we
call
him
will
)
Had
many
friends
in
euery
Court
,
which
he
Maintainde
with
large
shares
,
and
full
liberall
fee.
For
still
his
gorge
full
laden
,
ready
stood
,
And
when
they
mist
else-where
they
here
had
food
:
Food
of
each
kinde
,
for
euery
stomacke
fit
,
And
such
as
fauorites
were
,
had
part
of
it
.
Long
thus
he
put
them
off
,
yet
at
the
last
,
By
counter-bribes
,
their
weake
petitions
past
.
The
Eagle
first
did
seeke
him
,
and
he
found
,
The
theefe
where
he
would
wish
,
vpon
the
ground
,
Quoth
he
,
well
met
,
are
you
the
fowle
that
prey
,
Vpon
our
harmlesse
subiects
night
and
day
,
That
none
can
this
way
passe
and
vse
his
trade
,
But
is
a
subiect
to
your
fury
made
?
Not
I
sir
(
quoth
the
Cormorant
)
I
am
one
,
That
liue
in
contemplation
all
alone
.
This
poke
I
begge
with
,
to
sustaine
my
need
,
And
I
no
fowle
am
but
a
beast
indeed
.
Quoth
then
the
Eagle
,
wherefore
serue
thy
wing
?
O
(
quoth
the
Cormorant
)
thou
mighty
king
Of
feathered
fowles
,
these
two
are
my
forefeet
,
Held
vp
to
honor
thee
,
with
reuerence
meete
.
And
that
thou
maist
be
full
resolu'd
,
and
know
That
I
vnto
the
Lyon
duty
owe
,
As
subiects
to
their
Soueraignes
,
not
to
thee
,
Without
thou
wilt
vsurpe
authoritie
,
And
into
other
neighbour
Realmes
incroch
(
Which
to
thy
Iustice
were
a
fowle
reproch
)
Heare
but
my
voice
.
With
that
he
steps
aside
,
And
in
the
water
thrusts
his
wezand
wide
,
And
like
an
Asse
gan
bray
.
The
Eagle
straight
Hearing
his
voice
,
suspected
no
deceit
,
But
p●●●
away
to
seeke
what
now
he
saw
.
When
the
late
noyse
he
made
did
thither
draw
The
kingly
Lyon
,
who
did
hunt
about
,
As
th'
other
did
to
finde
th'
oppressor
out
.
And
when
he
spide
him
;
What
art
thou
quoth
he
The
beast
gainst
whom
so
many
plaine
to
me
?
O
noble
Lyon
,
quoth
the
Cormorant
,
I
am
a
fish
,
the
water
still
I
hant
.
And
here
I
take
my
food
,
and
lead
my
life
,
Free
from
oppression
,
and
each
cause
of
strife
.
Why
,
quoth
the
Lyon
,
now
I
heard
thee
bray
Like
to
an
Asse
.
True
,
True
,
my
Lord
ye
say
,
(
Quoth
this
smooth
hypocrite
)
for
I
would
faine
Be
like
an
Asse
,
so
innocent
and
plaine
.
I
loue
beasts
well
,
and
next
your
excellence
,
The
humble
Asse
,
for
still
his
patience
.
And
now
to
put
your
highnesse
out
of
doubt
,
Behold
me
swimme
and
diue
,
(
so
launcht
he
out
Far
from
the
Lyons
reach
)
If
beasts
quoth
he
,
Can
swimme
and
diue
thus
,
I
a
beast
may
be
.
With
that
he
diues
,
saying
,
Sir
fare
you
well
,
Your
faire
commends
to
the
King
Whale
I
'le
tell
.
The
Lyon
parted
thence
;
the
Whale
that
way
Had
sought
this
Monster
all
the
liue-long
day
;
And
seeing
such
an
vn●outh
thing
glide
past
,
Within
his
Kingdome
,
with
such
nimble
hast
;
He
call'd
and
bad
him
stay
,
and
will'd
him
tell
,
If
he
were
Onocrotalus
,
that
fell
And
cruell
murtherer
,
who
hauocke
made
Of
all
that
in
that
wealthy
Rode
did
trade
?
O
mighty
Emperour
(
aloud
he
cri'de
)
I
hardly
scap't
euen
now
his
cursed
pride
For
being
by
my
noble
Master
sent
,
(
The
Eagle
King
of
fowles
)
you
to
present
With
birds
and
other
iunkets
in
my
crop
,
He
needs
would
me
from
your
glad
presence
stop
;
And
but
he
heard
you
comming
,
I
surmise
,
His
lawlesse
force
had
made
me
lawfull
prize
.
Quoth
then
the
Whale
,
I
search
to
meete
that
slaue
.
But
what
art
thou
that
canst
so
well
behaue
,
Thy
tayle
and
nimble
fins
?
Art
not
a
fish
?
That
I
were
such
(
quoth
he
)
it
is
my
wish
.
I
like
thy
milder
reigne
where
subiects
say
,
For
loue
,
and
not
for
dread
,
they
thee
obey
.
And
would
arm'd
in
white
scales
,
if
I
might
choose
Serue
thee
a
fish
,
and
my
blacke
feathers
loose
.
But
Nature
this
forbids
;
yet
still
I
striue
,
Euen
from
my
youth
,
fish-like
to
swim
and
diue
:
And
vnderstand
their
language
,
and
conuerse
With
them
whose
ciuill
manners
,
are
lesse
fierce
Then
beasts
or
birds
be
.
For
they
drinke
far
more
And
eat
much
lesse
,
then
we
doe
on
the
shore
.
This
drinking
I
delight
in
,
and
haue
tride
,
By
all
good
meanes
to
make
my
belly
wide
.
Yet
see
,
I
am
a
fowle
.
So
vp
he
hies
,
And
takes
his
wings
with
speede
,
and
far
thence
flies
?
The
Whal●
then
found
his
cunning
and
straight
sent
A
priuy
letter
of
his
close
intent
,
Both
to
the
Eagle
and
the
Lyon
stout
,
To
meet
and
ioyne
,
and
finde
this
Out-law
out
.
They
met
,
and
ioynd
,
and
then
this
Out-law
found
Nor
in
the
Sea
,
nor
yet
vpon
the
ground
:
Nor
flying
in
the
aire
,
but
in
a
hold
,
A
hollow
tree
,
whose
strength
made
braggard
bold
.
They
spoke
him
faire
,
but
he
discerned
plaine
,
Their
drift
,
and
cride●
Faire
words
make
Idiots
faine
.
They
threatned
him
,
but
threats
he
doth
deride
,
And
saith
,
by
threatning
words
none
euer
dyde
.
The
Eagle
would
haue
ventred
on
his
neast
,
But
he
his
bill
held
right
vpon
his
breast
,
Like
a
stiffe
souldi●rs
pike
,
sharpe
,
long
,
and
armd
;
And
no
way
but
right
downe
he
could
be
harmd
.
The
Lyo●
would
haue
torne
with
teeth
and
nailes
The
tree
vp
by
the
roote
,
but
wanted
sailes
To
swim
so
farre
,
for
it
in
waters
stood
.
The
Wh●le
then
thought
to
tosse
it
in
the
flood
,
But
in
a
rocke
it
grew
,
and
growing
so
,
He
bad
them
do
their
worst
,
he
fear'd
no
foe
.
They
saide
,
they
would
besiedge
and
starue
him
out
;
He
laught
amaine
,
and
shew'd
how
gainst
that
doub●
He
was
prouided
,
hauing
store
to
serue
So
long
,
till
if
they
staid
,
they
all
would
starue
.
Then
each
bethought
himselfe
of
many
a
wile
And
war-like
stratagem
,
how
to
beguile
This
politique
Rebell
,
and
to
force
him
yield
Or
starue
within
,
or
venter
to
the
field
.
All
workes
the
ayre
,
the
water
,
or
the
land
Did
ere
produce
,
these
Captaines
vnderstand
:
B●t
none
found
able
to
enforce
his
strength
:
The
warlike
Ly●n
yet
conceiu'd
at
length
How
to
effect
it
.
Great
confederates
heare
,
(
Quoth
he
)
what
I
propound
.
There
's
uought
I
feare
But
what
I
speake
of
.
Once
I
did
rebell
Against
out
Generall
Soueraigne
Man
:
to
tell
This
fault
doth
touch
my
honour
,
but
you
all
,
I
●now
haue
been
co-partners
in
my
fall
,
And
his
most
gracious
pardon
.
Then
,
O
then
I
kept
within
my
fort
,
a
hideous
den
Caru'd
out
of
rocke
it
was
;
and
no
way
he
Could
force
me
out
,
or
make
assault
on
me
.
At
last
with
indignation
mou'd
,
he
takes
A
mighty
flint
vp
,
and
with
hurling
,
breakes
The
same
against
a
rocke
,
which
flying
sings
,
And
sparkles
from
the
ayre
betwixt
them
springs
As
from
a
red-hot
yron
,
when
a
Smith
With
heauy
hammer
beats
it
on
a
stith
.
Neere
hand
he
had
before
laid
leaues
with
rosse
From
Okes
torne
with
a
Northern
blast
,
and
mosse
Dride
in
the
parching
Sun
:
and
wood
which
dide
By
killing
age
,
and
stood
my
den
beside
.
The
sparks
inflam'd
this
stuffe
,
which
in
the
mouth
Of
my
darke
Caue
he
plac'd
:
the
winde
then
South
Forc'd
in
the
smoke
,
and
this
ayre-thickning
smoke
Infor'd
me
thus
,
either
come
out
or
choke
.
The
issue
you
remember
:
this
alone
Must
be
our
proiect
now
;
or
Art
hath
none
.
Hie
therefore
braue-bird
brother
,
quickly
take
Twixt
your
strong
tallents
this
great
flint
,
and
make
Experience
of
my
plot
.
Mount
with
it
hie
And
let
it
fall
,
that
fire
may
from
it
flie
:
Which
kindled
once
,
fan
gently
with
your
wing
,
And
cherish
with
soft
breath
:
then
let
the
king
Of
fishes
with
his
mighty
nostrels
puffe
Till
it
●lames
fiercely
,
and
burnes
hot
enough
.
This
counsell
they
applaud
;
but
th'
Eagle
thought
How
purer
,
hotter
,
flames
might
soone
be
●ought
:
And
vp
he
nimbly
fores
the
milke-white
way
,
Where
(
being
a
minion
knowne
)
he
findes
no
stay
;
Each
dore
●●ies
ope
alone
,
till
to
the
eare
Of
mighty
loue
he
gets
,
and
let
him
heare
His
businesse
and
his
suite
,
which
was
for
fire
And
thunderbolts
;
loue
grants
his
full
desire
.
Downe
quickly
he
descends
and
makes
a
traine
About
the
place
where
this
theefe
doth
remaine
:
Then
powder
he
applies
vnto
the
root
Of
t'hollow
tree
,
and
thence
the
slaue
doth
shoot
.
He
shoots
him
thence
into
the
ayre
as
hye
,
As
th'
Eagles
selfe
could
follow
with
his
eye
.
And
downe
he
comes
and
doth
descend
the
deep
,
Where
the
still
Center
doth
no
motion
keep
.
Then
vp
againe
aboue
the
swelling
maine
,
He
bounds
,
there
floting
without
sense
or
paine
.
And
ere
he
can
recouer
labouring
breath
,
That
's
lo●h
to
part
,
the
Whal●
from
vndern●ath
The
traytor
doth
attach
,
and
straightway
brings
To
be
arrayn'd
before
the
other
Kings
.
Him
they
examine
,
but
he
will
confesse
No
truth
,
but
what
they
know
as
he
doth
gh●sse
.
Then
they
doe
racke
him
(
being
rent
before
)
Yet
he
no
truth
,
but
many
a
lye
doth
rore
.
Till
with
the
violent
torture
and
constraint
,
Life
almost
failing
,
and
with
sufferings
faint
,
His
gorge
he
vomits
and
bewraies
with
paine
The
truth
,
for
which
they
sought
so
long
in
vaine
.
And
first
(
preposterously
)
he
casteth
out
,
All
slimy
lubricke
meats
,
Eele
,
Gudgeon
,
Trout
;
The
Citie
heires
,
Gilt-head
and
Golden●eye
,
Belonging
to
the
Sea-kings
soueraignty
.
And
with
this
euidence
conuict
,
the
tryall
Proceeds
to
proue
him
guilty
in
denyall
Of
farther
wrongs
done
.
The
Wood-cocke
,
Parret
,
The
Goose
,
the
Dotterell
,
lack●daw
prone
to
parret
,
The
Sea●gull
and
the
Cinclos
weake
and
friendlesse
,
And
of
poore
widdow
-
Turtles
numbers
endlesse
,
With
diuers
subiects
to
the
royall
Eagle
,
He
doth
as
easily
voide
,
as
erst
inueagle
.
Yet
still
vnto
the
Lyon
he
denies
Himselfe
a
trespasser
,
but
all
those
lyes
He
lately
made
,
and
late
was
taken
in
,
Afford
presumption
of
his
farther
sinne
.
For
which
againe
they
racke
him
one
pin
higher
,
And
then
he
vtters
more
then
they
desire
.
A
foolish
Cony
,
and
an
innocent
Lambe
,
A
credulous
Cal●●
new
weaned
from
the
dam
,
And
yet
in
wardship
;
a
ridiculous
M●use
For
feare
of
Cats
leauing
her
sheltring
house
:
And
last
of
all
,
(
for
which
the
Lyon
greeued
)
A
Hare
,
from
execution
oft
repreeued
.
All
these
with
easie
vtterance
,
doth
declare
That
he
did
fowle
,
nor
beast
,
nor
fishes
spare
But
preide
on
all
,
and
so
became
a
prey
To
the
Eagle
,
Whale
,
and
Lyon
,
eu'ry
way
.
Which
prou'de
and
made
by
demonstration
plaine
,
Beyond
the
power
of
impudence
to
faine
:
He
then
excepts
against
th'vndue
proceeding
,
They
in
his
apprehension
vsde
,
not
heeding
The
law
of
Nations
,
but
by
force
constraining
(
Himselfe
)
an
others
subiect
,
remaining
In
peace
,
and
league
with
them
,
to
be
arrayn'd
Like
to
a
Traytor
,
and
with
tortures
payn'd
.
He
saith
the
place
he
kept
in
was
without
Their
iurisdiction
,
and
he
made
no
doubt
To
proue
it
with
large
priuiledges
blessed
A
sanctuarie
for
the
poore
distressed
.
They
slight
his
cauils
;
And
the
Whale
demands
In
whose
vnknowne
,
strange
gouernment
it
stands
If
not
in
one
of
theirs
?
For
ayre
,
earth
,
sea
,
And
all
they
haue
(
but
Man
and
what
Mans
be
)
,
Doe
properly
belong
to
one
of
these
,
Who
may
dispose
of
all
,
as
they
best
please
.
I
pray
then
(
quoth
the
Corm●rant
)
relate
To
whose
Emperiall
crowne
,
and
to
whose
state
,
My
enuy'd
neast
belongs
?
which
of
you
three
Claime
th'
interest
as
Lord
by
right
of

?
For
if
it
proper
be
to
one
,
the
rest
Haue
done
much
wrong
,
t'
vsurp
his
interest
Whose
it
should
be
.
This
question
he
did
make
Hoping
thereby
their
setled
loues
to
shake
●y
couetous
ambition
,
whilst
they
all
●ould
make
their
claimes
,
and
so
asunder
fall
.
●ut
the
foreseeing
Eagle
bids
him
minde
●is
owne
affaires
,
and
not
to
thinke
t'vnwinde
●he
snares
true
Iustice
laies
about

,
●ut
interposing
such
slight
cause
of

●etwixt
such
firme
friends
,
in
strong
league
combinde
And
with
all
strength
of
entercourse
entwinde
.
And
yet
to
satisfie
this
curious
doubt
,
Know
(
quoth
the
Eagle
)
that
being
hem'd
about
With
floting
waters
,
it
belongs
to
him
Who
gouerns
all
that
in

But
as

doth
stand
,
It
longs
to
him
that
is
the
king
of
land
.
And
the
large
tree
which
spreads
his
spacious
bowes
In
th'
open
ayre
,
within
my
kingdome
growes
.
Thy
neast
thus
longs
to
all
of
vs
,
thy
food
Stolne
from
our
subiects
,
in
th'
ayre
,
earth
,
flood
:
And
thou
thy selfe
must
needs
,
if
thou
beest
either
Beast
,
bird
,
or
fish
,
be
one
of
ours
;
if
neither
,
Say
what
thou
art

or
whose
thou
art
;
for
all
But
Man
and
Monsters
in
this
number
fall

Then
(
quoth
the
Cormorant
)
I
doe
belong
Vnto
the
fearefull
Dragon
,
whose
blacke
tongue
Threats
death
to
each
of
you
,
and
keeps
in
awe
Your
humbler
spirits
,
making
his
will
your
law
,
He
is
the
king
of
serpents
,
whose
strong
breath
Confounds
your
strength
with
all-subduing
death
.
He
rules
the
vpper
region
,
purging
fire
Which
searcheth
hell
,
and
doth
to
heau'n
aspire
.
This
,
this
alone
it
was
which
I
obay'd
When
that
strong
law
vnto
my
neast
you
layd
.
But
you
that
sprightly
power
by
int●usion
Falsely
vsurpt
to
my
deuout
confusion
.
Fire
onely
to
the
Dragon
doth
belong
;
To
him
,
and
vnto
me
,
you
haue
done
wrong
.
To
him
I
doe
appeale
;
and
haue
resort
In
this
great
cause
to
his
infallible
Court.
This
speech
inflam'd
their
hearts
with
heat
&
scorne
To
be
confronted
thus
,
thus
ouerborne
By
a
base
villaine
who
did
proudly
brag
on
The
free
protection
of
their
foe
the
Dragon
.
So
with
a
full
resolue
,
they
all
agree
Each
for
himselfe
and
his
reueng
to
bee
.
The

They

To

to

But
out-lawes

And

Our

Law-state-Church
Pyrats
,
when
no

Can
their

to

The
first
pretending

of

And

fall
;
Doe
kill
in

and
oppresse
with

Both
the
delinquent

and
the

The

Whilst

perhaps
)

By

of

our

Who

They
'le
not
teach

but
swallow
many
Churches
:
They
vnto
ignorance
our
soules
betray
;
And
to
seducing

giue
silent
way
.
The

knowes

no

And

Rome

In

Vpon

As

I
would
not

such
A

or
of

The
Asse
I
talke
of
,
bred
in
Thess●ly
Came
to
a
country
man
,
a
neighbour
by
And
made
great
mone
,
that
euery
sauage
beast
In
woods
and
fields
,
the
greatest
and
the
least
Misus
de
him
,
wrongd
him
,
made
it
all
their
sport
To
trouble
him
,
who
had
no
remedy
for
't
.
The
Man
seemde
pit●ifull
,
enclind
to
good
,
And
gaue
the
Asse
aduice
to
leaue
the
wood
,
To
dwell
with
him
who
able
was
and
strong
,
His
weake
Retainers
to
protect
from
wrong
.
True
(
quoth
the
Asse
)
your
wit
,
your
strength
I
know
,
But
how
can
I
deserue
the
grace
and
shew
?
What
benefit
or
pleasure
whilst
I
liue
Can
I
doe
you
,
who
must
my
liuelyhoood
giue
?
Quoth
Man
,
for
my
protection
,
and
my
meat
You
shall
affoard
me
but
your
dung
and
sweat
,
Those
excrements
t'
inrich
and
lust

ground
,
That
it
with
corne
and
vintage
may
abound
.
And
when
I
chance
to
trauell
farre
and
nye
,
You
like
a
friend
,
shall
beare
me
company
.
The
Asse
was
glad
the
cou●nants
were
so
good
,
And
straight
agrees
,
nor
long
consulting
stood
.
The
articles
were
drawne●
read
openly
,
Sealed
and
deliuered
interchangable
.
And
homethey
goe
,
and
long
together
dwelt
Without
repentance
;
neither
greeuance
felt
.
But
man
in
innocence
remain'd
not
long
,
And
since
is
apt
to
doe
all
innocence
wrong
.
Sure
here
it
fell
out
so
.
The
crafty
Man
Wo
say
and
vnsay
,
lye
,
and
cauill
can
,
Went
to
the
Asse
,
and
(
all
inrag'd
)
demands
?
Why
all
that
while
he
had
not
dung'd
his
lands
?
Sir
(
quoth
the
Asse
)
such
compasse
as
I
yield
I
haue
with
daiely
care
laid
in
your
field
.
True
(
quoth
the
Man
)
but
that
will
not
suffice
To
dung
my
ground
,
that
plenty
may
arise
;
Yet
so
you
vndertooke
.
Then
out
of
hand
See
you
prouide
enough
to
serue
my
land
.
And
yeeld
what
you
keepe
backe
good
store
of
sweat
Or
I
le
giue
store
of
blowes
,
but
not
of
meat
.
The
Asse
finds
he
is
wrong'd
,
but
sees
not
how
To
right
himselfe
;
weake
men
to
stronger
bow
.
He
does
what
man
commands
,
and
rather
more
Till
Man
grows
rich
,
and
so
grows
proud
,
with
store
.
Then
man
must
trauaile
,
must
his
kinsfolke
see
And
other
countries
how
they
fashion'd
be
.
The
Asse
must
goe
with
him
,
so
't
was
agreed
To
beare
him
company
.
Well
mote
they
speed
,
The
Man
a
saddle
sets
vpon
his
backe
,
A
hal●er
on
his
head
,
which
wit
doth
lacke
.
What
meane
you
master
(
quoth
the
simple
Asse
)
These
will
but
make
me
weary
as
I
passe
?
Foole
(
quoth
the
Man
)
thinke
you
I
le
haue
my
Page●
Not
suited
to
the
fashions
of
this
age
?
I
should
be
sham'd
to
s●e
you
neere
me
stand
,
Without
a
cloake
,
and
bout
your
neck
a
band
.
Proud
was
the
silly
Asse
,
to
heare
he
stood
So
high
in
fauour
,
and
doth
onward
skud
With
willing
pace
,
not
like
a
sleepy
snaile
,
But
tossing
of
his
eares
,
winching
his
taile
.
Long
trauailde
they
,
till
to
a
brook
they
came
,
Wherein
a
many
siluer
fishes
swam
.
A
bridge
was
n●●re
,
but
Man
withheld
his
eye
,
And
would
not
see
the
bridge
,
some
reason
why
.
The
Asse
went
through
the
water
:
quoth
he
then
,
All
beasts
are
far
more
happier
than
all
Men.
You
are
by
nature
safely
cloth'd
,
and
armde
,
Gainst
cold
,
heat
,
drought
,
and
wet
;
we
easly
harmde
With
any
small
annoyance
.
You
are
free
,
And
gainst
all
these
extreames
must
patient
be
.
The
Asse
being
prais'd
,
vpon
no
ground
stood
still
,
But
must
turne
backe
againe
to
shew
his
skill
,
To
boast
his
valour
,
let
his
Master
know
All
his
good
parts
,
and
s●ruices
arow
.
Now
sir
,
quoth
he
,
you
on
my
backe
I
'le
beare
,
Safe
o're
this
water●
G●t
vp
,
nothing

.
The
Man
leapt
lightly
vp
.
Dissimulation
"
Doth
neither
stirrup
n●●d
,
nor
great
perswasion
.
The
Asse
doth
quickly
passe
the
Ri●er
.
Then
He
stayes
,
and
prayes
him
light
.
No
,
(
s●ith
the
Man
)
Proceed
vpon
your
iourney
you
can
beare
,
I
dare
not
light
,
to
fall
I
stand
in
fear●
.
I
'le
kneele
then
(
quoth
the
Asse
)
and
down
he
kneels
,
The
Man
straight
raisde
him
with
his
whip
and
heels
.
O
Master
(
quoth
the
Ass●●
you

You●

For

make

away

Our

So
on
they
goe
,
till
the
Asse
now
almost
tyred

Askt
pitty
of
the
Man

and

Th●t
the

The

denide
it
,
and
then
laught
out-right
.
And
doubled
blowes
with
whip
,
with
heele
,
&
staffe
.
O
tyrant
(
quoth
the
Asse
)
dost
fight
and
laugh
?
Are
these
th'
effects
of
promises
and
words
?
Is
this
the
peace
your

bond
,

Keep

O
man
thinke
how
You
make

,
when
you

breake

Why
(
quoth
the
Man
)
my

vnbroke

I
haue
performde
whatsere

I

I

I

Therefore
I

You

In

And

O

Since

I

O

Doctrine

No

Tradesman

Lavvyer

nor
Diuine

Though
much
frō

they
warp

frō

decline
,
Could
be
the
a●thors
of
this
ample
euill

But
truthes
professed

that
i●gling

That
Diuell
who
taught
it
first
,
and
practiz'd
too
,
In
paridise
,
vnto
our
generall
woe
.
That
Diuell
which
doth
renue
in
euery
age
,
By
this
alone
his
kingdome
and
image
.
For
without
this
his
kingdome
would
decay
,
And
without
this
his

weare
away
.
This
onely
murthers
truth
,
opposeth

Deceiuing
,
whether
true

If
true
we
dare
not

it

If
false

it

Quoth
Man
,
thou
preachest
well
;
and
well
mightst
passe
Couldst
thou
speake
Latin
too
,
to
say
a
Masse
.
Thy
folly
was
in
fault
rashly
to
draw
,
Thy
articles
without
aduice
at
law
.
There
wanted
stops
,
pricks
,
letters
,
here
and
there
,
And
by
your
leaue
some
words
the
truth
to
cleere
.
Nay
quoth
the
Asse
,
had
euery
word
,
stop
,
letter
,
Been
left
vnwritten
my
estate
were
better
.
This
is
the
plague
,
when
power
expoundeth
lawes
Not
as
the
truth
requires
,
but
as
the
cause
.
When
euery
letter
may
an
error
breed
,
To
helpe
the
rich
,
and
begger
such
as
need
.
When
tyrants
do
capitulate
and
treat
Not
to
conclude
,
but
to
deceiue
and
cheat
.
When
your
false
minds
are
candi'de
ore
with
words
As
your
gay
sheathes
conceale
your
bloody
swords

Now
(
quoth

I
thinke
that
Balaams
Asse
,
Or
golden
Apuly's
,
thy
Tutor
was
.
Thou
art
so
eloquent
,
so
learned
,
witty
,
As
if
thou
hadst
been
taught
in
Athens
Citty
.
In

(
quoth
the
Asse

now
I
espie
,
You
speake
no
truth
,
but
when
yee
thinke
to
lie
.
I
was
a
Cockny
once
,
of
noble
blood
,
Traind
vp
in
Athens
Court
,
and
in
the
flood
of
pleasure
,
bathde
my
youth
,
(
but
not
in
Art
,
)
Which
causde

transformation

teares
,
and
smart

Yet
went
our
Master
,
and
was
well
allowde●
(
With
many
of
my
kin
)
in
that
thicke
crowde
,
When
Philip
did
so
learnedly
dispute
,
And
made
Demost
●enes
with
wonder
mute
.
I
was
in
fauour
then
,
and
then
did
passe
,
For
braue
and
wise
,
though
now
I
be
an
Asse
.
For
no
Man
ought
to
iudge
by
forme
,
or
face
,
By
fauour
,
or
imployment
,
or
by
place
,
Which
are
the
wise
and
foolish
.
Dunces

And
they

me
,
(

)
If
they

fortune

,
to

How
I

was
,
you

There
is

Caualere

That
hath
not
trauailde
.
And
the'rs
few
of
these
,
Which
scape
bewitching
,
passing
ouer
Seas
.
When
I
first
trauail'd
,
my
braue
Spirit
did
moue
,
T'
attempt
great
Ladies
and
to
purchace
loue
.
I
purcha'st
loue
so
long
,
till
all
I
had
,
Was
purcha'st
from
me
,
and
my selfe
full
glad
,
To
leaue
both
Court
and
Citie
,
and
to
try
,
A
better
Country
fortune
to
espie
.
With
much
much
toyle
,
and
many
courtly
shifts
,
At
length
I
did
arriue
mongst
craggy
clifts
,
And
barraine
rocks
,
t'
a
smoaky
house
which
stood
Alone
,
besides
a
fearefull
desart
wood
.
There
with
a
wither'd
witch
I
long
time
staid
,
A
Bel-dame
that
had
been
Mede●es
maid
.
She
turn'd
me
to
an
Asse
that
very
day
,
Th'
Odcombian
wit
,
did
odly
scape
away
,
He
may
his
good
shooes
praise
,
pray
for
his
heeles
,
By
those
he
scap't
.
And
yet
I
feare
he
feeles
,
His
braine
,
was
turning
,
if
he
euer
passe
That
way
againe
,
he
will
turne

And
so
will
many

as
I
,
Except

No

I

So
they
went
in

rest
,
but
euer
since
,
The
Man
mounts
on
the
Asse
,
although
he
wince

There
is
no
remedy
,
and
he
must
obay

That

bridell'd

way

He

Now

when

Yet

When
ther

but
his

He

all
that

can

The
cause
which
made
him
first
a
slaue
to
Man.
Epimythium
.
We
must
learne
from
hence
these
lessons
.
1.
First
to
beware
with
whome
wee
deale
:
for
if
hee
be
stronger
either
in
person
,
or
by
friends
,
wee
shall
become
his
prey
:
if
hee
be
richer
,
hie
gold
will
weigh
dow
one
siluer
:
if
he
be
more
eloquent
,
his
lies
will
be
belecued
before
our
truths
:
if
hee
bee
the
Iudge
,
he
will
giue
sentence
according
to
his
honour
,
or
at
least
according
to
his
owne
profit
.
This
is
seene
by
generall
●xperience
,
and
●sp●cially
in
that
man
of
sinne
,
who
pretends
to
Iudge
of
all
controu●rsies
,
and
expounder
of
all
doubts
;
d●termin●s
the
darkest
things
to
be
cleere
in
his
owne
b●half●
;
and
the
most
clecre
and
pregnant
proofes
brought
against
him
,
to
be
darke
and
obscure
.
2.
Secondly
,
we
must
beware
of
whom
wee
take
counsell
;
they
may
be
our
enemies
to
morrow
,
that
are
our
friends
to
day
;
we
often
shew
our
euid●nces
to
such
,
who
for
a
larger
free
giuen
by
our
aduers●ries
,
know
how
to
betray
vs
,
and
open
a
gap
for
the
ouerthrow
of
our
cause
.
3.
Thirdly
,
to
whom
we
slee
for
protection
from
wrongs
,
lest
shunning
the
Buzzard
,
wee
become
a
prey
of
the
Sparhauke
.
Many
poore
men
are
swallowed
in
this
pit-fall
:
we
make
lawes
to
tye
our
owne
winges
.
So
much
of
euery
act
is
taken
as
will
scrue
for
lime-twigs
to
take
vs
;
the
rest
which
should
reforme
,
lies
vse
lesse
.
We
receiue
strength
into
a
towne
,
which
beeing
once
in
possession
,
hold
for
themselues
,
and
plague
vs
worse
the
then
enemies
would
haue
done
.
So
the
Brittai●es
(
our
fellowes
)
call'd
in
the
S●x●ns
(
our
fathers
)
and
all
histories
are
full
of
like
examples
.
We●el
might
the
last
yeere
haue
looked
into
this
glasse
,
now
it
is
too
late
.
The
hand
which
holdes
it
,
hath
practised
the
Falcone●s
first
prou●rbe
in
many
places
before
.
It
knowes
how
to
holde
fast
:
and
knowes
no
other
honour
,
but
profit
.
But
C●llis
was
wiser
,
who
would
rather
yeeld
it selfe
to
the
Archduke
then
expect
profferd
deliuerance
by
vs.
The
French
durst
not
let
vs
haue
footing
againe
in
France
,
we
had
taught
them
too
well
before
how
hardly
we
are
intreated
to
let
goe
our
hold
in
so
good
a
Countrey
.
Let
this
then
teach
vs
to
beware
.
4.
Fourthly
,
let
vs
take
heede
to
whom
wee
giue
And
what
we
giue
.
A
talent
is
too
much
for
a
Cynicke
to
receiue
;
a
groat
too
little
for
a
King
to
giue
:
discretion
must
guide
liberality
.
Many
bounties
haue
miscarried
,
and
been
lost
,
vndoing
both
the
giuer
and
receiuer
,
whil'st
they
were
not
proportioned
according
to
the
worth
and
respect
of
both
parties
.
Our
age
may
looke
in
this
glasse
.
Who
giues
some
the
first
peny
,
giues
him
earnest
mony
to
begge
still
,
encouraging
rather
then
releeuing
.
Giue
such
the
whip
.
We
often
giue
presents
to
our
betters
,
&
they
expect
the
custome
still
:
power
demands
that
of
duty
,
which
was
first
granted
by
way
of
bencuolence
.
Lastly
let
vs
beware
what
we
receiue
from
others
and
what
we
put
on
.
It
may
be
a
saddle
,
which
wee
thinke
an
ornament
,
and
a
bridle
which
we
thinke
a
grace
.
Diuers
forraigne
ouertures
shew
this
,
and
at
home
the
inu●stitures
of
Ireland
,
made
by
the
Pope
to
Henry
the
second
whereby
that
Sea
challengeth
right
in
Ireland
.
All
other
titles
and
prerogatiues●which
come
from
thence
,
are
of
this
nature
;
and
were
sent
to
this
end
,
to
be
witnesses
of
their
interest
.
Doubtlesse
the
Diuell
pretends
thus
to
bee
author
of
our
knowledge
;
&
saith
but
for
him
we
had
neuer
known
good
and
euill
asunder
.
Our
lawes
and
priuiledges
written
in
the
Norm●n●
tongue
are
euidences
to
prooue
our
subiection

William
of
Norm●ndy

as
the
vniuersall
speech
of
the
Latin
proued

slauery
to
Rome
,
though
none
were
thought
free
men

and
braue
fellowes

slaues

spake
that
tongue

rest
Barbari●●s

Merchants
will
trust

to
draw

into

they
bridle
and
saddle
vs
with
gay

,
(
like
foot-clothes
to
Asses
;
)
then
they
girt
vs
vp
sure
,
and
mount
our
backs
,
whil'st
we
can
walke
free
in
no
ground
,
not
in
the
streets
.
Our

There

who

would

when

Of
what
we
all
seeke
,
cannot
one
finde
out
.
How
to
agree
,
and
reconcile
th'
obscure
,
The
fabulous
,
and
c●rtain●
Age
of
our

The
Age
obscure
;
is
that
before
the
Floud
:
The
Fabulous
,
on
fained
Wonders
stood
The
race
of
gods
,
on
gold●n
Legends
told
,
Where
for
sad
truths
,
mad
●ictions
were
enrold
.
This
latter
Age
more
plaine
and
cleere
,
we
call
The
certaine
Age
,
or
th'
Age
Historicall
.
Yet
houres
,
and
day●s
,
and
yeeres
haue
sure
been
lost
In
some
of
these
,
which
our
accounts
haue
crost
.
And
so
they
easily
might
,
when
from
the
Sunne
To
lying
Clocks
for
our
accounts
we
runne
.
This
tale
makes
all
apparant
,
or
at
least
,
Makes
probable
,
what
some
haue
thought
a
ieast
.
Within
a
Churchyard
once
a
Dyall
stood
Vpon
a
square
hewne
Marble
,
which
the
Flood
In
vaine
with
enuious
waues
had
often
sought
To
spoile
,
when
it
the
whole
world
vnder
brought
.
But
Seth's
wise
sonnes
had
fastned
it
so
sure
,
It
could
all
stormes●
and
stre●●e
of
times
endure
.
And
thereon
they
had
caru'd
the
Art
,
and
lore
They
learned
of
their
Grandsire
long
before●
Vpon
a
Church
or
steeples
side
neere
hand
A
goodly
Clocke
of
curious
worke
did
stand
;
Which
ouer
paysde
with
lead
or
out
of
frame
,
Did
time
miscall
,
and
euery
houre
misname
.
Th●
Dyall

aloud
gan

Reforme

The

rather
in
thy

be
.
Had'st
thou
tould
euer

to

end
then
Was
I
plac'de
here
,
by
th'
art
of
cunning
Men
?
The
weather-Cocke
vpon
the
steeple
standing
And
with
his
sharpe
eye
all
about
commanding
,
Heard
their
contention
,
wil'd
them
to
appeale
To
him
the
Chiefe
of
all
that
Common-weale
.
Told
them
that
he
was
set
to
Ouersee
And
to
appease
,
to
guide
and
to
agree
All
diff'rence
in
that
place
;
and
whatso'ere
He
setteth
downe
from
Iustice
cannot
erre
.
For
from
the
winde
he
information
takes
Which
searcheth
through
the
world
,
&
swiftly
make●
A
true
suruay
of
euery
proofe
and
cause
,
And
doth
of
Reason
know
the
ground
,
and
lawes
.
He
bids
them
boldly
speake
,
and
bring
their
pleas
,
And
hee
'le
define
th'
infallible
truth
with
ease
.
The
Dial
then
beginnes
.
The
globe-like
world
From
Center
to
Circumf
rence
being
whorl'd
In
neuer-resting
motion
,
maketh
●ime
In
sundry

and

.
This
Time
the
measure
of
all
mutable
things
Comes
with
lead-heeles
,
flies
hence
with
fiery
wings
;
Sleepes
with
two
eyes
,
hath
two

euer

,
Twixt

,

,
daies

,
distinction
making
And
though
the
diff'rence
and
degrees
of
change
,
In
seuerall
yeares
,
be
wonderfull
and
strange
;
Some
by
the
Moone
,
some
reckoning
by
the
Sunne
,
And
some
the
great
yeare
,
whē
th'
heauens
hauing
ru●
Their
compleat
course
,
doe
to
that
point
arriue
Whence
the
first
mouer
,
them
did
motion
giue
;
Yet
the
most
generall
certaine
count
of
all
Is
measur'd
by
the
Sunne
,
whose
rise
and
fall
Makes
day
,
and
night
,
and
noone
,
and
midnight
too
,
Spring
,
Summer
,
Winter
,
Autumne
,
and
the
two
Solsticiums
,
Equinoctials
,
and
the
houres
Now
naked
,
and
then
deck't
in
gaudy
flowers
.
This
Adam
to
his
Grandsons
hauing
told
,
With
other
Arts
,
and
wonders
manifold
,
How
all
the
world
both
fire
and
flood
should
try
;
They
plac'd
me
here
,
to
tell
posterity
Such
hidden
mysteries
;
And
to
direct
The
wiser
Soules
deep-diuing
intellect
.
About
me
they
haue
grau'd
seauen
liberall
Arts
,
The
Sciences
,
with
their
diuiner
parts
,
A
circle
and
a
Gnomon
set
aboue
With
Characters
;
which
as
the
Sunne
doth
moue
In
his
ascent
,
or
low
declension
,
tells
The
certaine
houre
,
degree
,
and
all
things
else
.
But
for
my
speech
was
slow
,
and
cause
the
Sunne
Did
often
vnder
clouds
for
pleasure
runne
,
Succeeding
ages
did
this
C●ocke
out
finde
T'
attend
on
me
,
and
to
declare
my
minde
,
From
me
intelligence
and
rules
ro
gather
To
measure
night
,
close
stormes
,
and
cloudy
weather
:
And
in
the
Morne
,
finding
his
reckoning
wrong
,
By
my
straight
rule
,
to
tune
and
set
his
song
.
But
this
forgetfull
Clocke
at
randome
strikes
,
Not
as
I
bid
,
but
fondly
what
it
likes
:
Robs
short-liu'de
Man
of
his
most
precious
time
,
And
orderlesse
,
doth
others
orders
chime
.
It
will
not
follow
me
,
but
wanting
wit
,
VVould
haue
the
Sunne
and
Me
to
waite
on
it
.
This
matter
so
apparant
,
though
I
might
Wild
Weather-Cocke
,
except
against
your
right
To
iudge
,
and
thinke
you
partiall
at
the
least
,
Since
you
o're-cloude
me
when
the
Sun
comes
West
,
And
will
take
part
with
it
,
that
's
in

,
In

,
and
in

,
almost
the
same
With
you
;
yet
know
I'l●
not
refuse
Thy
censure
,
but
high
place
with
honour
vse
.
Thus
did
the
Dyal
end
,
and
then
the
Clocke
Low-louting
to
the
powder
Weather

,
Began
his

In

Can

Behold

But

were

All

This

To

O●

as
for

I
heere
was

next
thee
in

To
giue

ease

to

the
wondring

What
thou

The
whil'st
thou

And

The

is
my

first
placed

That
Common
Persons
who
presume
not

Thy

may
haue
intelligence
And
learne
from

the
close

hidden
sence
Of
all
those
Characters
,
and
not
expound
As
list
themselues
,
darke
riddles
,
so
profound
:
Nor
contradict
,
nor
yet
correct
by
force
,
According
to
the
Gnomon
,
my
true
course
;
But
the
false
Gnomon
rather
to
correct
By
my
aduice
,
whose
way
is
still
direct
.
Who
knowes
not
,
that
the
Sun
in
his
round
race
,
Many
degr●es
is
gone
from
his
first
place
,
And
like
a
drunkard
reeling
to
and
fro
,
With
giddy
steps
doth
shift
his
circle
so
;
That
where
he
was
euen
now
,
he
comes
no
more
,
His
course
is
all
confusde
,
behin'ds
before
?
Needs
must
the
Dial
then
deceiued
be
,
Which
trusts
a
Guide
that
doth
so
disagree
Within
it selfe
,
and
without
iudgement
shines
Alike
on
all
,
making
of
fooles
Diuines
.
And
teaching
Fishermen
to
see
as
farre
,
As
learned
Shepheards
,
without
other
starre
.
Too
common
in
this
Guide
,
to
guide
aright
;
Or
if
he
could
,
where
is
the
Guide
for
night
?
I
then
am
present
still
at
euery
neede
Poore
erring
man
,
in
ignorant
night
to
leade
.
Then
why
should
this
bold
Dial
,
dare
to
speake
Against
my
greatnesse
,
or
the
orders
breake
Of
custome
and
consent
?
since
all
make
choice
To
feede
,
fast
,
pray
,
or
play
,
led
by
my
voice
?
And
that
all
bargaines
made
,
all
wagers
laide
,
Not
by
the
Dial
but
the
Clocke
are
paide
?
Which
truth
,
whilst
all
the
world
dare
neuer
doubt
,
This
Dial
seemes
to
question
,
and
(
growne
stout
)
Exc●pts
against
thy
iudgement
too
,
that
thus
He
might
be
free
and
seeme
to
gouerne
vs.
But
since
our
causes
are
so
neere
of
kinne
,
Let
that
respect
some
grace
and
fauour
winne
With
thy
high
holinesse
,
that
thou
maist
see
To
giue
iust
sentence
for
your selfe
and
me
.
The
weather-Cocke
thrice
turn'd
himselfe
about
,
As
taking
care
to
minde
the
matter
out
;
And
thrice
return'd
,
as
if
he
were
as
free
From
preiudice
,
as
from
integritie
.
Then
thrice
hee
claps
his
wings
(
which
courage
showes
)
And
thrice
aloude
his
senslesse
sentence
crowes
.
To
giue
a
reason
,
wherefore
,
how
,
and
what
,
When
,
where
,
by
whom
,
or
fondly
this
or
that
,
Might
argue
reference
to
higher
power
;
But
what
is
he
whose
place
doth
equall
our
?
We
are
the
rule
of
reason
,
truths
cleare
law
.
Heare
then
with
reuerence
,
and
obey
with
awe
.
Without
more
question
,
argument
,
or
triall
,
The
iudgement
I
pronounce
against
the
Dial.
The
Dial
shall
be
guided
by
the
Clock●
This
is
the
sentence
of
the
weather
-
Cock.
Which
when
the
Cl●ck
had
heard
(
puftvp
withp●ide
)
He
ginnes
the
wronged
Dial
to
deride
;
And
sits
his
tongue
at
large
,
too
much
,
too
soone
;
Twelu
times
he
fetch'd
his
breath
,
&
laugh'd
out
none
.
The
Dial
then
with
indignation
moued
By
this
inuectiue
speech
their
fault
reproued
.
Poore
silly
Clock
(
quoth
he
)
reioyce
thy

,
Time
will
reforme
thy
ignorant
zeale
with
s●ill
,
Stay
thy
distempered
course
,
which
hurried
now
,
By
mad-braind
humor
,
goes
it
knowes
not
how
.
Time
that
's
my
pupill
,
shall
thy
Tutor
be
,
And
teach
a
diff'rence
twixt
thy selfe
and
me
;
Then
thou
wilt
know
thy
error
,
and
recant
That
euer
thou
wert
proud
of
so
much
want
.
But
as
for
thee
(
thou
iudge
corrupt
and
base
,
Who
bindst
all
knowledge
Prentise
to
thy
place
)
Know
this
,
th'
all-seeing
Sunne
thy
folly
knowes
,
And
to
each
vulgar
eye
thy
shaddow
showes
,
That
they
may
plainly
see
how
poore
thou
at
Thy
head
deform'd
,
defectiue
euery
part
.
And
that
those
high
prerogatines
of
state
You
challenge
proper
to
your selfe
,
are
late
Vpstart
intrusions
,
vsurpations
new
;
Forg'd
by
the
force
or
flattery
of
some
few
.
The
promise
which
you
boast
,
to
haue
the
winde
Blow
where
you
list
,
and
alte●
when
you
minde
,
Is
false
,
and
foolish
;
but
't
was
promisde
still
To
blow
and
guide
you
right
,
if
that
you
will.
And
so
it
doth
,
so
it
doth
others
too
,
If
they
consent
,
not
whether
they
will
or
no.
For
when
they
would
the
point
and
quarter
know
Where
it
doth
breath
,
on
me
they
looke
;
I
show
The
truth
to
them
and
thee
,
if
you
looke
right
,
If
not
,
you
are
misled
by
your
owne
sight
.
But
how
can'st
thou
others
from
error
keepe
When
as
thy selfe
foulded
in
error
deepe
,
Shun'st
reformation
,
and
wilt
neither
minde
,
My
graue
directions
,
nor
the
powerfull
wind

I
can
remember
,
long
before
thou
Wert
When
wise
Alcedo
stood
where
as
thou

He
calm'd
all
stormes
,
and
pacified
the

To
patient

bent

He

Directions

how
their

When

Lee-shore

when

And
when

when

In

Anchor-fast

and
when
to

With
a

and
when
againe

How

Their

Some
of

in

Their

Thy

His

,
and
thy
pedigree
behold
As
it
in
ancient
story
is
inrould
.
A
trayt'rous
Slaue
,
his
Master
hauing
slaine
Did
sole
Commander
of
the
world
remaine
.
But
whilst
he
slept
;
a
chickin
of
that
Cocke
Which
Cephas
check't
when
he
denyde
the
rocke
,
And
forc't
him
to
repent
,
to
sigh
,
and
weep
,
Did
with
his
voyce
the
murtherer
wake
from
sleep
,
And
would
not
suffer
him
to
rest
in
sin
,
But
he
would
rouse
his
conscience
still
within●
This
Murtherer
,
a
Cocke
of
kinde
did
get
,
And
him
to
kill
this
kinder
Cocke
did
set
,
Who
soone
perform'd
the
taske
he
tooke
in
hand
:
For
Chauntecleer
would
●uffer
,
not
withstand
.
He
watchfull
was
and
tended
his
vocation
,
To
stirre
vp
others
to
their
occupation
:
He
lou'd
the
pearle
more
then
the
barley
corne
;
To
crow
,
and
not
to
quarrell
he
was
borne
.
So
he
was
slam●
,
and
slaine
by
one
of
those
From
whence
thy
proud
succession
strangely
rose
Who
hight
Alectrion
,
and
while-ere
had
bin
The
Pandor
vnto

And
then
(
being
Captaine
of
great
Mars

Of

VVith
that
the
angry
Clocke
in
rage
strooke

The
Sexton
came
indeed
,
and
one
did
tell
,
Look't
on
the
Diall
,
saw
all
was
not

For
that
said
twelue
,
the
Clock

He
tooke
the

off

which
caus●d

Suruaide
the

,
for
there
the
fault
might
be

And
found
some
cog
supply

Some
whe●les
were
taken
off
,
and
borne
to
Court
,
To
trundle
vp
and
downe
,
and
there
make
sport
.
And
some
with
dust
,
and

,
were
duld
and
foild
,
And
some
stood

so

Makes

and

then
by
the
Sunne
Sets
the
new
course
,
which
it
doth
truly
runne
.
Then
going
vp
the
steeples
top
he
spies
The
weather-cocke
how
palpably
it
lies
.
For
at
each
Corner
the
Kings-fishers
stood
,
Full
South
;
and
that
the
Dial
prooued
good
.
But
the
fond
Weather-cocke
(
being
w●ather-wise
)
From
the
Calme
blast
turn'd
his
scornefull
eyes
.
The
Sexton
tooke
him
downe
,
and
straight
did
see
An
easie
way
how
he
might
mended
be
,
His
head
was
too
too
great
,
with
3.
combes
crownde
Which
euer
when
the
wind
blew
turn'd
him
round

His
taile
was

when

Was

weather
The
Sexton
cut
his
crownes
,
and
gaue
more

With
them
and
with
the
spurs
vnto
his
tayle
So
humbled
now
in
habite
,
looke
and
minde
,
He
waites
with
due
obedience
on
the
winde
:
Knowes
his
high
place
was
not
to
rule
,
but
serue
,
And
means
no
more
from
this
strict
course
to
swerue●
This
tale
no
mortall
needs
,
it
is
not
darke
,
But
points
a
worke
fit
for
our
learned
Clarke
Who
by
the
Dyal
may
reforme
the
Clocke
,
And
by
kings
fishers
turne
the
Weather-cocke
.
We
haue
the
winde
to
helpe
vs
and
the
Sunne
,
And
works
are
halfe
accomplisht
when
begun
.
Then
who
'le
begin
?
who
is
on
our
side
,
who
?
Where
words
,
winde
,
writings
faile
,
resolue
to
Doe
.
I
had
thought
this
Tale
should
haue
needed
no
other
●ongue
then
it
s
owne
to
bee
rightly
vnderstood
.
But
because
I
see
it
too
misty
for
some
apprehensions
,
whose
wills
are
as
desirous
as
others
to
know
truth
,
I
haue
added
this
by
way
of
illustration
to
enlighten
such
as
accept
well
of
my
good
meaning
,
which
is
to
informe
others
according
to
that
which
I
haue
recei●ed
,
and
to
be
reformed
where
I
erre
my selfe
.
1.
First
the
teaching
part
of
the
militant
Church
,
which
consists
of
the
Clergie
,
I
haue
vayled
vnder
the
Cl●cke●
.
The
wheeles
are
the
distinct
degrees
and
offices
they
en●oy
of
superioritie
,
and
inferioritie
;
wherein
the
Harmonie
of
the
whole
consisteth
.
The
weights
are
the
priuiledges
,
immunities
,
prerogatiues
and
donations
of
seuerall
kinds
,
bestowed
vpon
the
Church
in
seuerall
ages
,
by
good
Kings
,
liberall
professors
and
benefactors
.
The
challenge
the
Clocke
seemes
to
make
h●ere
to
rule
the
Dyal
,
resembleth
the
controuersie
the
Church
of
Rome
raiseth
in
the
Catholicke
Church
about
the
exposition
,
the
restrayning
or
publishing
of
the
Scriptures
.
2.
The
Dyal
is
the
written
word
,
which
is
of
it selfe
dead
and
vnprofitable
,
without
farther
illumination
.
Since
none
of
the
Philosophers
,
nor
Salomon
himselfe
by
the
me●re
strength
of
Nature
,
could
from
thence
draw
sauing
knowledge
,
without
sauing
grace
.
But
as
the
Dyal
hath
reference
to
the
Sunne
;
so
hath
this
to
the
Sonne
of
righteousnesse
.
Neither
am
I
without
warrant
for
vsing
this
bold
Allegorie
,
since
the
sweet
Singer
of
Israel
compares
the
same
word
to
a
lanterne
,
and
the
spirit
to
a
light
,
when
he
saith
elegantly
,
and
like
a
Diuine
POET
,
Thy
word
is
a
lanterne
vnto
my
feet
,
and
a
light
vnto
my
path
.
Now
as
it
is
absurd
that
the
Dyal
should
bee
set
by
the
vncertaine
gadding
of
the
Clock
:
So
is
it
more
absurd
that
the
Clergy
should
so
iudge
of
the
Scriptures
,
as
to
conclude
o●
teach
any
thing
by
w●●●
pretence
soeuer
against
it
,
or
to
vouch
vnwritten
veri●●es
(
as
some
call
them
)
or
traditions
contradictorie
to
the
written
word
.
But
much
rather
as
the
〈◊〉
ought
to
be
set
by
the
Dyal
;
so
ought
the
Church
to
subiect
it selfe
to
bee
directed
by
the
Scriptures
.
and
to
prooue
and
examine
it selfe
by
the
same
rule
whether
it
be
in
the
faith
or
no.
And
finding
i●
sel●●
in
the
right
,
it
ought
by
manifest
proofes
and
arg●●ents
from
thence
to
shew
forth
the
same
faith
〈…〉
3.
Thirdly
,
the
Weather-cocke
who
〈◊〉
himselfe
as
iudge
in
this
controuersie
betweene
the
Dyal
and
the
Clocke
,
is
that
Pope
of
Rome
,
who
challengeth
the
same
prerogatiue
iure
diuino
,
oue●
the
Church
and
Scriptures
.
How
falsely
he
doth
this
,
and
yet
how
impudently
,
is
well
knowne
to
all
.
For
I
know
not
what
the
Pope
hath
more
to
doe
with
the
rule
of
the
Catholique
Church
,
then
the
Weather-cocke
(
because
he
stands
vpon
the
top
of
the
steeple
)
hath
to
doe
with
the
gouernment
of
the
Clock
and
Dyal
.
I
haue
heard
and
read
the
reasons
vpon
which
the
contrary
opinion
is
grounded
,
but
for
my
owne
part
can
see
no
strength
in
them
able
to
turne
any
but
Weather-cock●
.
The
prioritie
of
place
,
the
whole
Church
perhaps
would
bee
content
to
yeeld
him
for
the
generall
peace
,
and
to
expresse
the
true
humilitie
of
holy
Pastors
,
who
follow
the
example
and
doctrine
of
their
master
Christ
.
But
for
him
(
that
turnes
and
returnes
as
vncertainely
with
euery
blast
of
humor
or
occasion
,
as
any
Weathercocke
at
●e
change
of
the
winde
)
to
challenge
not
onely
the
●mmunitie
from
errors
,
and
the
infallibilitie
of
iudge●ent
,
but
also
to
be
Christs
Vicar
Generall
vpon
earth
,
〈◊〉
Peters
Successor
,
the
Apostolicall
Prince
,
and
Vniuersall
Bishop
of
the
whole
Church
,
to
haue
all
power
in
Heauen
and
on
Earth
,
and
all
iurisdiction
both
temporall
and
spirituall
,
impropriated
to
his
Cha●re
,
and
●nnexed
to
his
place
,
this
seemes
strange
;
and
they
●ustly
deny
it
him
,
who
are
not
giddy
with
standing
●oo
neere
him
,
or
troubled
with
the
same
vertigo
,
by
●eason
of
the
height
of
place
,
from
whence
they
looke
●pon
the
rest
of
the
poore
afflicted
and
distressed
●ocke
of
Christ
Iesus
.
But
for
this
proud
challenge
●hey
know
truly
how
to
style
him
the
great
Antichrist
,
and
crowne
him
with
this
triple
Crowne
;
the
Man
of
sinne
,
the
Whore
of
Babylon
,
the
Vicar
Generall
of

Nor
had
these

of
warre
at

"
And

is

Yet
(

that

incens'd

With

that

must

;
so
vndeserued

"
Ill

and
haue
no

Then
they
proceed
to

,
from

to

;
"
The
way
to
ill
is
easie
;
but
who
knowes
The
Clue
that
we
returne

?
hence
proceeds
A
Challenge
from
wrong'd
Wharton
:
Steward
needs
No
such
stale
prouocation
:
Mischiefes
feet
"
Are
swift
to
blood
:
their
quicke
desires
soon
meet
,
And
(
met
)
soone
fight
;
bold
Steward
falls
by
Fate
;
Wharton
by
Chance
:
those
powers
each
other
hate
.
So
I
haue
seene
from
th'
Indies
East
and
West
,
Two
Ships
well
rigg'd
and
mann'd
vpon
the
brest
Of
Thetis
d●ncing
,
spreading
flags
abroad
For
ioy
of
their
long-wisht-for
English
roade
;
Past
now
all
dangerous
Ro●ks●
Gulphs
,
Pyrats
,
Sand
,
Ready
t'vnlade
their
rich
fraught
on
firme
land
,
And
tell
the
story
of
their
perils
past
,
And
frolicke
with
glad
friends
in
peace
,
at
last
.
When
spying
each
other
so
bedeckt
,
adorn'd
,
With
outward
pomp
:
ones
pride
the
other
scorn'd
,
And
from
that
enuious
scorn
some
word
proceeding
,
And
from
that
word
some
blow
,
from
that
blow
bleeding
.
Then
giuing
way
to
fury
,
all
inrag'd
,
Both
are
in
desp'rate
tearmes
of
fight
ingag'd
.
The
fire
in
water
,
Lead
in
th'
ayre
,
their
center
Doe
madly
seeke
;
and
both
these
r●dely
enter
The
strong
ships
wombe
,
and
ransac●e
euery
hold
,
For
pretious
life
,
neglecting
Indi●n
gold
.
The
shot
seems
thunder
,
but
the
dying
grones
Of
slaughtered
soules
,
shrike
louder
,
deeper
tones
Then
roring
Cannons
,
whose
thicke
charging
rout
Le
ts
water
freely
in
,
and
poures
bloud
out
.
In
this
hot
fight
both
firmly
doe
defend
,
Both
nimbly
do
assault
,
both
madly
spend
,
Strength
,
skill
,
and
all
to
hurt
.
Conquest
inclines
To
neither
part
as
partiall
.
Equall
lines
Are
drawne
betwixt
them
both
by
Fate
and
Chance
;
Till
th'
one
his
topsaile
fairely
doth
aduance
To
win
the
winde
,
and
in
that
vantage
flies
With
force
and
fury
on
his
foe
;
who
plies
All
meanes
to
salue
this
losse
,
and
to
regaine
Faire
ods
,
or
equall
standing
once
againe
.
But
all
in
vaine
,
fortune
,
the
winde
,
and
sea
,
Con●ederate
with
the
aduerse
seeme
to
be
.
So
this
to
sinke
(
rather
then
yeeld
)
resolues
,
And
halfe
his
tatter'd
sides
the
Sea
inuolues
.
When
th'
other
(
couetous
)
grapples
with
his
foe
,
To
bourd
and
rob
him
:
and
(
being
chained
so
)
The
s●ip
that
leaks
sinks
,
and
with
his
weight
drawes
The
Conqueror
with
Conquest
,
to
deaths
iawes
.
So
fares
it
with
these
noble
Combatants
Both
equally
of
blood
and
honor
vaunts
:
Both
enui'd
and
belou'd
alike
,
both
friends
,
Both
yong
,
both
valiant
,
and
their
life
and
ends
So
paralell
,
and
twin-like
like
in
all
That
they
obtain'd
one
graue
,
one
●unerall
.
One
graue
,
one
funerall
,
they
obtain'd
,
yet
lost
The
●ame
and
honor
their
youth
thirsted
most
.
Because
their
quarrell
on
false
grounds
begun
,
Could
not
produce
true
praise
,
nor
true
blame
shun
.
The
wounds
thou
gau'st
stout
Wharto●
had
bin
good
Against
thy
Kings
or
faiths
foe
;
and
thy
blood
Heroicke
Steward
,
had
been
nobly
shed
,
Against
such
slaues
;
so
both
had
brauely
bled
.
And
your
brasse
Monuments
had
spoke
the
fame
Of
Whartons
noble
,
Stewards
royall
name
.
Then
the
fierce
challenger
for
his
quicke
charge
,
And
stout
assault
with
wounds
giuen
deepe
and
large
;
His
apt
command
of
euery
part
soone
shunning
,
All
wounds
saue
one
,
giuen
more
by
chance
then
cunning
And
the
Defendant
,
who
so
long
time
stood
Drownd
(
yet
vndanted
)
in
his
owne
life
blood
;
And
deadly
wounded
,
past
all
hope
of
liuing
,
Death
in
his
death
to
his
haile
fooeman
giuing
;
Had
filld
the
largest
leaues
of
Fames
faire
story
,
And
both
worne
wreath
of
triumph
,
conquest
,
glory●
And
then
like
patterns
●o
both
Realms
,
set
out
By
vertue
for
example
;
the
wise
and
stout
Had
been
your
schollers
,
and
their
lessons
read
,
In
those
greene
fields
,
where
both
so
boldly
bled
.
Bnt
now
(
aye
me
!
)
as
rocks
,
bars
,
sands
,
at
sea
,
Or
marks
set
vp
to
shew
ships
where
they
bee
,
Or
rather
as
some
wrack'd
ships
selfe
,
whose
mast
Ore-looks
the
waues
,
and
yet
still
sticking
fast
In
th'
eating
silt
,
bids
the
wise
Pilot
flye
The
tracklesse
path
,
where
such
hid
dangers
lye
.
So
stand
these
two
,
the
signes
of
woe
,
and
ruth
,
Of
shipwrackt
honor
,
fortune
,
valour
,
youth
;
And
by

confirme
this
speech
for

"
Vertue

greater
priuiledge

"
Our

"
And
he

Either
of
these
in

doth
betray
"
The

and

England
,
behold
in

what
thou

And

see
in
Steward
euery

Of
thy

power
;
shun
enmitie

,
None

of

Let

Breed

The

seemes

What

Yet

will.
A

Seemes

when

Of

O
why
do

"
Nobilitie

This
(
Sir

I
speake
t'
excite
your
royall
power
To
rescue
Noble
Sanquir
,
who
this
houre
Is
by
the
too-strick't
vnrespectiu●
lawes
Condemn'd
to
die
a
villa
ines
d●ath

The
cause
And
quarrell
this
.
The
Barron
chanc'd
to
play
With
a
rude
Fencer
;
where
both
did
bewray
Their

ability
at
Rapier
foyles

The

to
vphold
his

toyles

But
wanteth
skill
;
which
makes
his
hate
arise
;
And
with
an
enuious
thrust
at
Sanquirs
eyes
,
The
wicked
and
inchant●d
foyle
depriu●s
An
eye
of
sight
;
worth
many
Fencers
liues
.
The
suffering
Lord
forbeares
to
kill
him
then
But
being
after
scorn'de
by
watermen
,
Fidlers
,
and
such
base
instruments
of
hell
For
this
foule
blemish
,
his
great
heart
did
swell
.
And
(
full
of
noble
courage
)
loth
to
do
So
blacke
a
de●de
himselfe
he
puts
it
to
His
mans
performance
,
who
obaide
too
soone
,
Repentan●e
came
before
the
deede
was
done

The
equall
lawes
to
equalls
doth
appoint
An
eye
should
haue
an
eye
,
ioynt
answere
ioynt
.
But
where
suc●●ddes
of
persons
be
,
I
ghesse
An
eye
should
haue
a
life
to
boote
,
no
lesse
.
Yet
not
on
this
or
that
doth
Sanquir
stand
;
His
death
,
his
life
,
his
doome
is
in
your
hand
.
He
doth
confesse
the
foulnesse
of
his
guilt
:
He
sorrowes
for
the
blood
that
he
hath
spilt
.
Your
mercy
(
royall
Sir
)
he
doth
implore
For
this
rash
act
,
who
neuer
beg'd
before
.
Scarce
had
he
don●
,
and
e're
the
king
could
speake
,
An
other
thus
begins
.
If
you
should
wreake
Each
English
peasants
life
with
bloud
so
hie
As
noble
Sanquir
is
,
No
memorie
Of
your
faire
traine
,
of
Natiue
Scots
,
should
stand
,
To
let
times
know
the
glory
of
that
land
.
Souldiers
must
doffe
their
armes
,
and
gowns
put
on
,
If
villaines
so
foule
may
passe
vpon
Lords
vnreueng'de
;
or
if
those
antique
names
,
Those
honors
,
trophees
,
and
eternall
fames
,
We
got
by
killing
many
Englishmen
,
Be
for
the
death
of
one
,
thus
lost
agen
.
If
thus
to
quench
the
fewde
you
pleased
are
,
You
thereby
quench
the
heart
of
lawfull
warre
.
Remember
what
a
souldier
he
hath
bin
;
How
easly
might
forget
it
was
a
sinne
.
And
thinke
he
did
but
chastice
one
of
those
Who'gainst
his
Leader
muteni'de
,
and
rose
.
Many
of
th'
English
haue
been
pardoned
For
treasons
capitall
.
Some
honored
For
their
knee-seruice
,
and
no
other
merit
.
Then
(
Sir
)
let
vs
who
lineally
inherit
Allegeance
,
worth
,
and
honours
;
sometime
finde
You
left
not
all
your
Scottish
blood
behinde
:
Nor
meane
to
leaue
vs
in
the
hands
of

Who
kill
with
law
more
friends
,
then
fewdes
kil
foes
.
Thus
ended
he
;
And
then
as
in
a
Queere
Of
solemne
singers
,
one
shall
euer
heare●
After
the
Trebles
hath
the
Antheme
sung
,
(
And
their
diuisions
with
shrill
vtterance
●ung

;
The
Base
,
the
Tenor
,
Counter-tenor

,
With
Howboyes
,
Cornets
,
Trumpets
,
Organs
meet
,
And
ioyne
their
hye-stretcht
notes
,
that
all
the
ring
Seemes
Eccho-like
,
their
sonnets
to
resing
:
So
did
the
graue
and
gallant
troope
,
which
stood
About
the
King
(
like
a
dew-dropping
wood
)
Conuey
their
powres
to
make
this
consort
full
And
cryed
;
Be

Or

take
Carlis●e

And

so

With
that
(
as
if
all

aduance
)
Comes
from
the
Regent
and
the
King
of
France
,
Letters
,
intreating

;
And
last
,
as
if
the
difference
of
a
wife
Should
from
this
fact
take
characters
,
to
know
A
true
good
wife
,
from
a
good
wife
in
show
:
Comes
his
forsaken
Lady
all
in
blacke
,
(
W●ose
youth
from
him
did
due
beneuolence
lacke
)
Weeping
,
intreating
,
for
her
lost
Lords
sinne
,
And
then
like
fullomes
that
run
euer
in
A
baile
of
Gossips
(
some
true
beggars
borne
,
Pittying
this
Lord
more
then
the
Lord
of

)
Beg
his
remission
with
obstreperous
voice
:
But
mongst
the
rest
,
she
that
made
lowdest
noise
,
Was
Turners
Widdow
,
whose
shrill
throat
did
yell
,
That
she
was
satisfied
,
and
all
was
well
.
The
king
abhord
it
,
and
his
vpright
heart
,
Beholding
these
assaults
on
euery
part
,
Made
it
his
glory
to
be
onely
good
,
And
from
his
crowne
to
wipe
those
staines
of
blood
.
Thus
he
replies●
"
The

"
Heau'n
plac'd
vpon

which
none
can

stands

To

blurs
it
out

The

;
the
Actors

A

too-good

The

then
submits

dies

That

The

DEDICATED
To

make
not

but
the

of

the
end

Though

Clyentlesse

Friendlesse

't
is
to
you
I
sue
For
kinde

You

are
they
Who
by

guide

in
our
way
.
You
looke
not
on
the
fee
,
but
on
the
cause
,
And
follow
truth
,
as
truth
doth
lead
the

The

with

Passe

TH'
inhabitants
of
the

did
bost
,
No

to

For
they
no

Monkes

nor
Foxes
had

Nor
Law

Retriuers
who
make

run
mad
,
With
their
strife-stirring
tongues
;
but
liu'd
as
free
,
From
these
,
as
by
them
others
combred
be
.
And
though
our
whole
land
cannot
boast
so
farre
,
That
we
from
all
such
vermin
quitted
are
:
Yet
happy
is
our
Ile
,
that
's
hemd
about
With
water-walles
,
to
keepe
our
enemies
out
;
Whilst
we
(
as
Adam
did
)
in
Eden
dwell
,
And
scarce
of
famine
in
an
age
heare
tell
.
Where
hils
are
clad
with
woods
,
and
vales
with
corn
Whose
laden
eares
doe
listen
to
be
shorne
.
Where
shephearde
neither
Lyon

,
nor
Beare

Nor
rauening

But
each
in

dwell
,
and
sillie
sheepe
From
all

Man
,
doe
one
the
other
keepe
.
O
happy
are
we
if
we
know
our
good
,
And
if
our

be
rightly
vnderstood
:
To
liue
thus
free
vnder
so
blest
a
King

Iust
Magistrates
and

that

The

Conuerting

No

Can
here

But
each
in
safety
may
his
owne
possesse
,
More
free
then
Kings
,
because
our
cares
be
lesse
.
But
most
vnhappy
are
those
neighbour
lands
,
Where
Peace
,
and
Plenty
,
as
two
strangers
stands
;
Where
bloodie
war
,
and
bloodlesse
famine
ride
Vpon
the
ruin'd
top
of

Pride
:
Where
Law
destroies
,
Diuinity
deceiues
,
And
where
the
crowne
the
care
of
kingdome
leaues
.
Where
men
eate
men
,
as
beast
deuourd

,
The

kill
,
the

the

Where

Makes

This

How

Cain

He
might
doo

mortified

who
obeyes

who
is
a

is
the
onely
freeman
;
for
him
the
Magistrate
beares
the
sword

He
would
be
honest
without
law
,
and
will
be
honest
if
the
la●
should
●orbid
him
.
Yet
would
he
not
resist
,
but
submit
himselfe
to
power

Hee
is
free

Paul

The

is
come

lately

A

With

The

him
t'inst●uct

A

how

might
s●ape

you

'l
watch
ye

so
that
no

way
Remaines
to

night

To
scrape

a

Within

where
safe
from
beasts

men
,
And
foule
,

euery
bloody
foe
you
shall
,
Your
life
securely
lead
in
spite
of
all

The
simple
Cony
doubting
no
deceit
,
Thought
treason
had
not
councell
for
a
bait●
And
therefore
thanks
his
foe
,
and
(
glad
at
heart
)
To
dig
his
owne
graue
vseth
all
his
art
.
A

seeks

Free
from

He
with
his

grates

was●
Theref●re
(
dissemblingly

the
Polcat
gins
,
To
licke
and
catch
the
Cony

and
so
wins
Hold
vnderneath
his
throat
,
which
hauing
fast
,
The
tragedy
begins
,
the
sport
is
past
.
For
all
assault
him
then
on
euery
part
,
Some
at
his
sides
,
some
at
his
head
and
heart
.
Some
at
his
belly

poisonous
Snake

at
his

a
deadly
issue
make

The
helplesse
Cony
●ues
,
intreat●
,

striues
,
But
he
must
die
had
he
ten
thousand
liues
.
Each
foe
his
greedy
go●ge
with
blood
doth
glut
And
with
his
sweet
flesh
cram
each
hollow
gut
.
"
But
blood
that
's
sweet
in
tast
,
is
not
so
sound
,
"
To
feed
vpon
,
as
milke
that
's
easier
found
.
The
Snake
with
poisonous
touch
had
venome
spred
,
Through
all
the
swelling
vaines
,
from
taile
to
head
.
And
they
had
suckt
the
blacke
infection
in
;
A
fitting
vengeance
for
their
crying
sinne
.
Straight
they
their
stomacke
find
not
well
at
●ase
,
And
something
feele
,
that
doth
their
minds
displease
.
The
VVeasel
first
suspects
the
Snake
,
for
he
Can
neuer
with
a
Serpent
well
agree
;
Saies
,
they
are
poisond
all
by
one
base
slaue
,
VVhose
company
the
Ferret
needs
would
haue
.
The
Snake
replies
,
he
did
no
more
but
what
He
was
appointed
to
performe
by
plot
.
And
if
they
foolishly
had
eat
their
last
,
He
could
not
mend
with
sorrow
what
was
past
.
They
find
it
true
,
but
find
it
now
too
late
,
Each
rauing
dies
,
and
yeelds
constraind
by
fate
.
Yet
ere
they
die
,
all
doe
their
farewell
take
,
By
shaking
teeth
together
on
the
S●ake
.
VVho
deadly
wounded
,
crawles
but
faintly
thence
,
Confounded
with
the
guilt
of
his
offence
.
And
heeding
not
his
way
,
by
good
mishap
,
Became
a
prisoner
to
the
warriners
trap
.
This
feast
was
ended
thus

away

And
where
they
did

Some
are
of
opinion
that
wisedome
consisteth
i●
the
abilitie
to
giue
good
counsell
.
But
I
thinke
the
knowledge
how
to
take
good
counsell
and
how
to
discerne
the
differences
of
ad●ise
,
is
the
principallpart
of
wisedome
.
That
Frog
in
Aesope
which
in
a
great
drought
spying
water
i●
a
deep
pit
aduised
his
fellow
to
leape
downe●
that
they
might
be
satisfied
and
liue
there
,
gaue
good
counsell
and
seemed
to
be
a
patterne
of
the
first
wisedome
spoken
of●
But
the
other
Frogge
that
refused
his
aduise
,
and
diued
deeper
then
the
present
time
,
then
the
bott●me
of
the
pit
with
this
question
;
But
if
the
water
faile
vs
there
,
how
shall
we
get
out
,
or
how
shall
we
liue
there●
was
a
figure
of
the
second
wisedome
,
and
teacheth
vs
that
it
is
harder
to
take
good
counsell
then
to
giue
it
.
Let
vs
therefore
beware
in
this
point
,
and
learne
to
looke
a
little
beyond
that
good
which
is
first

most
apparant

The

FAme
that
in

Without

In

Of

For

Which

And
that

This

The

And

These

Among

It
so
fell
out
(
as
oft
strange
things
befall
)
A
gallant
Knight
,
ariued
at
that
faire
Hall
,
Attended
on
with
such
a
noble
sort
,
Of
warlike
squires
,
as
fild
this
spatious
Court.
Who
curiously
enquiring
of
the
rout
,
Whose
Court
it
was
,
could
no
waies
find
it
out
.
For
contradictions
crosse
each
other
so
,
As
truth
from
falshood
he
could
no
waies
know
.
Bad
fame
did
call
it
hers
,
and
said
,
she
was
A
guide
to
such
as
vnto
glo●y
passe
.
False
Fame
did
call
it
hers
;
he
saw
they
lide
,
For
'
boue
their
heads
,
two
brighter
Queens
he
spide
.
True
fame
spake
to
him
then
,
and
let
him
know
,
That
●he
and
good
fame
did
the
building
owe
,
Being
eldest
borne
,
to
Titan
and
the
Earth
,
Before
the
Gyants
war
:
when
th'
others
birth
Long
since
was
subiect
to
their
p●rents
sinne
,
And
heauens
curse
which
now
they
liued
in
.
For
as
those
Gyants
gainst
the
Gods
did
war
,
So
these
to
t●uth
professed
enemies
are
;
Had
by
strong
hand
,
and
fraud
,
vsurpd
her
state●
And
to
expresse
to
vertue
v●most
hate
,
Had
bard
all
passage
other
houses
hie
,
That
mor
all
men
might
in
obliuion
die
Or
haue
their
memories
blasted
,
glories
kild
By
eating
time
,
wi
hlies
and
slanders
fild
.
She
wisht
him
then
if
he
his
good
desired
To
haue
repeated
,
or
his
spi●
it
aspired
To
worthy
honor
as
old
knights
had
wont
,
(
Whose
swords
not
rust
,
but
too
much
vse
did
blunt
)
That
he
would
vse
some
meanes
to
set
them
f●ee
,
Whereby
his
blest
name
might
●ternizd
be
.
Good
Fame
then
told
him
,
that
the
only
way
,
How
he
this
enterprize
accomplish
may
,
Was
by
the
helpe
of
mercy
,
prudence
,
art
,
Iustic●
and
zeale
,
and
Constancy
of
heart
.
All
their
knowne
friends
to
summon
vp
in
armes
,
To
force
the
place
,
and
to
disperse
those
swarmes
Of
idle
vagabonds
;
who
kept
below
And
hated
good
Fame
,
would
not
true
fame
know
.
Then
(
since
the
stayres
of
fame
were
broken
downe
,
And
do
es
stopt
vp
to
glory
and
renowne
)
She
wild
him
make
an
engine
where
withall
,
He
might
her
lodging
and
her
sisters
scale
.
And
so
himselfe
in
spite
of
perill
,
raise
Aboue
the
reach
of
enuy
,
or
dispraise
.
The
Knight
(
in
spirit
rauisht
with
delight
To
heare
their
speech
,
to
see
their
goodly
sight
)
Mounts
his
fierce
Coursers
backe
,
with
which
at
hand
His
Squires
attend
vpou
his
strict
command
.
Wils
euery
one
of
them
to
take
a
dame
,
Such
as
the
Ladies
of
the
house
did
name
,
Who
there
attended
that
they
might
direct
This
high
attempt
,
with
order
and
respect
.
The
Squires
with
willing
minds
the
knight
obaide
,
And
each
behind
them
tooke
a
louely
maide

Prudence
directs
her
Squires
to
lead
the
way
,
(
Who
followes
her
direction
cannot
stray
,
)
At
length
they
come
vnto
a
fruitfull
wood
,
Wherein
a
world
of
vpright
timber
stood
;
Tall
Cedars
,
Cypres
,
Pine
and
royall
Okes
,
With
country
Elmes
,
and
Ash
for
plow
and

.
The

Laurell
,
and
the

Mirrh
,
The
smarting
Birch
,
and
the
sweet

Firr
Grew
there
in
order
,
and
all
trees
beside
,
Where
in
the
thrifty
Woodreeue
taketh
pride
,
The
knight
suruaies
all
this
,
yet
●inds
not
one
Fit
to
be
feld
;
till
Prudence
lights
upon
A
proud
straight
Aspe
,
whose
wauing
top
did
leane
On
a
slight
Poplar
,
with
some
shrubs
betweene
.
The
cursed
Eldar
,
and
the
fatall
Yewe
,
With
W●●ch
and
Nightshade
in
their
shadowes
grew
;
Whose
saples
tops
,
with
mildewes
often
stood
,
And
grew
self-seare
,
and
ouertopt
the
wood
.
The
Rauen
&
Shreikeowle
there
did
build
their
neasts
,
And
at
their
roots
did
harbour
harmefull
beasts
,
Which
Pruden●e
saw
,
but
mercy
would
not
see
,
Till
she
perceiu'd
how
euery
other
tree
Droop'd
vnderneath
the
height
of
these

,
And
could
not
thriue
,
or
grow
till
these
were
gone
.
She
therefore
(
ioynd
with
Constancie
and
Zeale

Besought
sharpe

,
who
doth
euenly
deale
Her

blowes
,
to

all
these
with
speed
;
Who
soone
consents
,
and
soone

performes
the
deed
.
At
euery
stroke
she
fetcht
,
the
trees
did
grone
,
The
rest
did
eccho
laughter
to
their
mone

And
now
they
lye
along
,
their
branches
topt
,
Their
barke

off

their

Then

For

Since

The

Whose

And

With

Salutes

Of

To

into

Where

There

In

with

Of
this

vndertooke
This
high
attempt
,
that
Fame
might
rightly
looke
On
all
deseruers
,
and
that
man
might
finde
,
Like
freedome
for
his

as
for

.
That
vertue
migh
be
crowned
by
true
fame
,
And
honest

liue
with

Which
promise
gladly
both
the

swore

In

and
now
as
heretofore
The

of

And

is
knowne

The

they
crowne
The
Soueraigne

Fames

winds
blow
Through
th'

foure

that
the

know
Th'
extent
of
vertuous
actions
;
how
no
power
Can
stop
their
passage
,
nor
lanke

deuoure
Their
sweet
remembrance
;
which
shall
liue
as
long
As
nature
hath
an
eare
,
or
eye
,
or

.
To
euery
Squire
then
they
this
fauour
giue
,
That
after
death
their
Fames
shall
euer
liue

For
still
those
Ladies
,
whose

they
So
well
aduanc't'shall

Repeate

prefer
them

Beyond

as

doth

Surpasse

or
those

we
doe
,
When
others
wills
,
and
ours
we
conquer
too
.
Now
't
is
proclaimd
that
if
we
tell
no
lies
,
We
may
with
boldnesse
speake
and
feare
no
spies
.
That
what
this
age
hath
done
,
this
age
may
heare
,
As
well
repeated
now
as
the
next
yeere
.
That
all
our
words
our selues
shall
first
expound
,
And
that
no
forc't
construction
shall
confound
Our
honest
meaning
,
but
bee
't
ill
or
well
,
We
may
with
freedome
our
opinions
t●ll
.
Since
no
man
dares
to
doe
the
thing
which
he
,
Would
haue
all
the
world
both
heare
and
see
.
These
orders
ratified

fall

And

And

As

Which

your
heauen-garded
state

safer

then
that
of
Mithridate
,
The
King
of
Pontus
,
vnto
whom
befell
,
VVhat
strange
aduenture
in
this
tale
I
tell
.
This
King
perceiuing
well
there
was
no
band
,
Of
duty
,
loue
,
or
nature
,
could
withstand
The
strong
inticement
of
corrupting
gold
,
Or
baser
lust
,
or
humor
ouerbold
,
Or
fond
ambition
(
which
makes
empty
slaues
Swim
bladder
borne
vpon
the
floting
waues
Of
false
Opinion
,
with
the
arme
of
pride
,
Of
borrowed
power
,
and
ignorance
beside
)
But
that
these
would
peruert
the
faith
they
had
,
And
cause
them
after
farther
hopes
run
mad
;
Did
to
preuent
all
this
,
a
guard
prouide
Of
faithfull
beasts
,
whose
strength
had
oft
been
tried
.
A
Bull
,
a
Horse
,
a
Hare
,
the
Captaines
were
,
Of
this
strong
guard
,
whose
force
did
nothing
feare
But
falshood
,
and
Ingra●itude
,
and
Treason
,
From
which
they
were
as
free
,
as
man
from
reason
VVhy
knowing
more
then
beasts
,
he
should
not
hate
As
they
doe
,
to
be
treacherous
,
and
ingrate
.
These
three
together
being
put
to
feed
,
And
sport
themselues
till
there
were
farther
need
Of
their
knowne
faith
,
together
long
did
dwell
In
peace
and
loue
,
till
on
a
time
it
fell
That
they
with
rest
and
ease
full
fed
and
fa●
,
Had
time
to
play
,
to
dally
,
and
to
chat
.
Then
did
the
wanton
Hart
propound
a
course
,
Betwixt
himselfe
and
the
couragious
Horse
.
The
warlike
Horse
did
dare
the
horned
Bull
To
make
one
in
the
race
,
who
straight
way
full
Of
burning
choller
,
and
adusted
blood
,
Bad
cowards
run
,
hee
for
no
footman
stood
.
T
was
meet
for
them
that
durst
not
stand
it
out
,
To
vse
their
heeles
,
his
heart
was
too
too
stout
.
The
angry
Hart
replies
,
ther
's
none
of
you
,
But
may
to
me
as
to
your
better
bow
,
I
swifter
then
the
Horse
,
my
feet
can
vse
,
And
for
my
head
,
the
Bull
I
le
not
refuse
To
combat
with
,
my
courage
I
am
sure
Is
like
my
strength
as
able
to
indure
,
And
doe
,
as
either
of
you
dare
or
can
,
And
more
I
am
esteemd
by
royall
man.
Those
Serpents
which
you
run
from
,
I
seeke
forth
,
And
teare
them
with
my
teeth
as
nothing
worth
.
And
as
my
life
to
man
is
sweet
and
pleasing
,
So
is
my
death
,
each
part
some
sorrow
easing
.
My
hornes
all
mortall
poyson
can
expell
,
My
marrow
makes
stiffe-ioynted
misers
well
.
My
fat
yeelds
strength
and
sweetnesse
;
that
fierce
lad
Achilles
,
neuer
other
spoonemeat
had
.
Which
made
him
such
a
Captaine
,
euery
part
Is
physicall
and
comforteth
the
heart
.
Yea
euen
my
excrements
the
dropsie
cures
,
My
teares
,
like
precious
Iewels
,
man
allures
.
To
seek
them
vp
,
wheresoeuer
they
be
shed
.
My
skin
great
Captaines
weare
when
I
am
dead
;
And
boast
that
they
haue
such
a
coat
of
proofe
,
Which
wounds
withstands
,
whence
venome
stands
aloofe
.
Then
why
)
O
baser
creatures
)
dare
you
brag
And
match
your selues
with
the
long
liuing
Stag
?
My
life
is
long
,
cause
I
with
cost
am
wrought
,
But
nature
slights
your
liues
,
as
good
for
nought
.
The
crested
Horse
,
with
fiery
eyes
did
show
,
What
inward
rage
did
in
his
hot
blood
flgw
To
heare
this
bold
speech
vttered
,
and
with
head
Tost
in
the
ayre
his
hardned
hoofes
doth
tread
The
scornd
earth
with
contempt
,
then
thus
breaks
out
;
O
thou
fearefull
of
all
the
rout
Of
hunted
beasts
,
how
haps
it
that
you
dare
With
me
your
master
and
your
Lord
compare
?
Forget
ye
my
preheminence
?
the
loue
Man
beares
me
?
how
one
spirit
seemes
to
mo●e
Me
and
my
rider
?
that
we
start
and
run
,
Stop
,
turne
,
trot
,
amble
,
as
we
were
but
one
?
Haue
you
at
any
time
been
calld
to
war
,
Where
none
but
Captaines
and
great
Souldiers
are
?
Trusted
to
heare
their
Councels
?
on
your
backe
Borne
the
Commander
of
that
royall
packe
?
I
haue
done
this
and
more
,
borne
him
about
Through
worlds
of
danger
,
and
then
borne
him
out
He
trusts
me
when
his
legs
he
dare
not
trust
,
And
when
his
hand
,
faile
them
performe
I
must
.
Nay
when
he
failes
himselfe
in
euery
part
,
I
adde
another
life
,
another
heart
.
In
war
I
thus
befriend
him
,
in
his
need
,
And
so
in
peace
,
I
helpe
his
wants
to
feed
.
I
till
this
land
that
else
would
barren
be
,
Beare
all
his
carriage
,
and
am
seldome
free
From
some
imploiment
,
but
must
neere
him
stand
As
being
fit
,
and
apt
for
his
command
.
If
he
to
visit
friends
abroad
doth
fare
,
I
must
along
with
him
,
true
friends
we
are
.
If
he
intends
to
hunt
such
beasts
as
you
,
For
sport
,
or
hate
,
or
need
,
he
lets
me
know
The
time
,
the
place
,
the
end
,
and
we
agree●
I
see
the
sport
,
and
hunt
as
well
as
he
.
How
often
haue
I
seene
some
fearefull
Hart
,
Perhaps
your
●ire
,
at
my
dread
presence
start
;
Fly
hence
with
vtmost
speed
,
and
neuer
slacke
His
willing
pace
,
when
I
vpon
my
backe
Bearing
my
noble
master
haue
at
length
O'retane
the
lubber
,
hauing
lost
his
strength
?
VVhilst
I
still
foming
courage
,
breathing
sprite
,
Haue
sought
another
conquest
long
ere
night
;
And
after
that
a
third
,
vnwearied
yet
,
Yet
you
your selfe
as
Paralell
will
set
To
match
and
ouermatch
my
worth
,
my
force
;
As
if
weake
Stags
might
braue
the
peerelesse
Horse
.
For
physicall

easily
yeeld

Aliue
I
profit
man

This
makes
him

your

to

Yet
being
dead
my

their
vertues

.
VVhich
I
refer
to

to
relate●
As
scorning
Hog-like
to

so

This
only
I
conclude
,
If
man
should
choose
To
saue
but
one

The
armed
Bull

To

Hart
so

the
Horse
so

And
all
the
while
they
spake
,
he
tost
about
With
hornes
and

the
dust
;
then
bellowd
out
This
bolder
braue
;
What
ignorance
is
this
,
That
causeth
both
of
you
,
so
much
amis●e
To
boast
your
false

,
and
neglect
the
true
,
Which
res●s
in

,
belongs
to
none

The
Wolfe
,
the
Greyhound
,
and
●ach
questing
cur
,
Makes
thee
poore
trembling
Hart
keepe
such
a
stir
.
To
shift
thy
layer
,
as
if
thy
life
were
lost
,
With
euery
faint
blast
,
that
the
leaues
downe

And
this
couragious
Horse

Of

With

other
vses
fit
for

(
As
they
that
least
can
doe
,
best
cauill
can
)
Let
this
his
answer
be
,
the
spur
and
bit
Shewes
man
trusts
not
his
courage
,
nor
his
wit.
For
if
he
tyre
or
faint
,
his
spur
prouokes
,
And
prickes
him
forward
,
with
continuall
strokes
.
And
if
with
head-strong
heat
,
he
madly
rides
,
The
bridle
curbes
him
,
and
his

guides
.
"
All

Not

doe
raise

"
Out
of
our

whilst
we
easily
are
"
Made
instruments
either
of

Else
might
our

When

But
truth
is
far
from
such
ostents
,
those
deeds
We
call
our
owne
,
which
from
our
choice
proceeds
.
The
yoke
we
beare
,
and
wherewithall
we
till
The
earth
for

,
is
by

not

What

By

Or

as

And

then
what
you
both
before
Haue
mentioned

so
freely
I
confesse
Man

in

His

in

And

from

which
springs
From

Then
at

,
you
are

As

And
through

their

take

Whilst
you

For
what
from
you
they
borrow
,
they
must
grant
They
feare
their
foes
enioy
,
whilst
they
doe

Thus
therefore
all
the
nobler
nations
vse
To
sight
on
foot
,
whilst
coward
rather
choose
To
share
with
beasts
in
glory
,
and
to
get
Themselues
a

,
through

hardy
heat
.
So
you
on

,
and
they
on
you
depend
,
Such
seruice
iudgement
neuer
did
commend
.
And
thus
in
sportiue
war
,
and
warlike
sport
,
You
doe
your
rider
from
himselfe
transport
.
Whilst
you
not
man-li●e
grow
,
but
beast-like
he
Resembles
you
,
in
all
these
sports
we
see
.
Yea
often
to
mischance
you
doe
betray
Your
heedlesse
rider
,
and
in
midst
of
play
Pr●cipitate
his
soddaine
fortune
so
,
That
who
hath
you
a

shall
need
no

But
may
himselfe

a
happy

proclaime
,
If
by

he
scapes
without

But
now
if
either
of

thinke
you
can
,
Out
of

proue
more
fit

And
better
able

Him

Then
I

Proceed

I
defie
your

And
with
bold
challenge
summon
you
to
fight

A
triple
combat

to
decide
the

They
both
with
eager
appetite
accept
These
wisht
conditions
,
and
by
this
haue
stept
For
from
each

;
all
prepard
doe
stand
At
full

,
to
ioyne
this
treble
band

The

wise
they
euenly
cast

And
each
with
rage
expects
,
that
dreadly
blast

Which
warnes
them
charge

Each
roreth
out
his
wrath

Nor
other
need
of
drums

The
Hart
doth
bray
,
the
bounding
Steed
doth
neigh

The
Bull
doth
bellow
,
deepe
,
and
lowde
and
high
.
The
earth
doth
tremble
,
and
the
ayre
doth
shun
,
This
dreadfull
thunder
;
as
when
laden

Spits
forth
its

in

restraind

The

As
dreading
to

mighty

Thus
meet
the
valiant
Bull
,
the
Hart
and
Horse

The
Hart
and
Horse
first
touch
tha'ppointed
place
Being
more
swift

and
apter
for
the
race

And
let
each
other
,
with
much
dange●
feele
The
force
of
horned
head
,
and
armed
heele
.
But
ere
a
second
bout
they
can
performe
,
In
comes
the
boystrous
Bull
,
like
winters
storme
,
And
seuers
them
with
such
a
violent
push
,
That
they
amazde
,
turne
giddy
with
the
rush
.
But
(
nimble
both
and
actiue
they
repay
The
sturdie
Bull
,
with
all
the
speed
they
may

The
Hart
with
his
broadhornes
,
doth
make
him
reel●
But
the
kinde
Horse
,
vpholds
him
with
his
heele
.
The
Bull
thanks
neither
,
for
the
one
did
pearce
His
hollow
flanke
,
the
other
much
more
fearce
,
Did
breake
a
rib
,
and
bruise
his
shoulder
blade
,
And
taught
him
with
lesse
choller
to
inuade
.
Yet
th'ods
is
soone
recouer'd
with

Which
hath

And
rent
one
weaker

from
branched
Hart

As

riuen

The
subtle
Hart
,
then
shuns
those
ruder
blowes
,
And
tho'ds
of
handistrokes
too
dearely
knowes●
The
Horse
taught
by
his
wounds
,
doth
keepe
aloofe

And
stands
vpon
defence

with

The
Bull
assaults
them
both
with
watchfull
eye

And
seeks
how

spie

The
Horse
and
Hart
vpon

In

Bull
assaults
the
Hart
,
but
he
giues
way
,
And
slips
his
furie
with
what
slight
he
may
.
Yet
turnes
not
head
,
as
fearefull
cowards
will
,
But
wefes
aside
,
to
tyre
his
foe
with
skill
.
The
Bull
then
strikes
the
Horse
a
deadly
cuff
,
But
he
requites
him
with
a
counterbuff
.
The
Hart
strikes
in
betwixt
,
the
Bull
turnes
rownd
,
The
Horse
leaps
right
vp
,
doth
coruet
,
and
bownd
;
So
at
one
instant
,
fatally
they
me●te
;
The
Bull
his
death
meets
from
the
Horses
feet
.
The
Hart
th'
aduantage
takes
,
the
●orse
aloft
Strikes
his
one
horne
into
his
belly
soft
,
Which
there
hangs
fast
;
the
Horse
doth
with
his
fall
.
Breakes
the
Harts
necke
,
this
is
the
end
of
all
None
hath
the
conquest
,
all
of
them
are
slaine
.
Their
death
's
not
doubted
,
long
they
there
remaine
,
Till
that
the
King
their
Master
,
hauing
neede
Of
their
attendance
,
goes
his
guard
to
feed
,
For
none
might
tend
them
else
,
least
they
acquainted
With
others
bribes
,
by
treason
should
be
tainted
.
So
enters
he
the
place
,
and
there
he
spies
What
doth
affright
him
,
all
his
comfort
lies
Dead
at
his
feet
,
then
sadly
going
neere
Their
carrion
corpes
,
he
doth
a
murmur
heare
,
As
armed
souldiers
in
a
Citie
sound
,
Or
fire
in
th'
ayre
,
or
wind
within
the
ground
.
And
doubting
the
successe
,
three

He

Bees
from

Bull
,
Waspes

And
Hornets
from

Hart.
He
motions
peace
,
and
hopes
to
part
the

,
They
send
three
souldiers
,
who
sends
him
away

For
each
of
them
doth
fix
his

Wit●in
the
flesh
of
the
amazed
King.
He
flies
with
speed
from
thence
,
they

out

The
conq●est
all
expect

all

But
what
befell
I
know

;
this
I
know
,
The
King
cride
out
aloud

The

that
grow
From

O
