IOhn
of

I
am
bould
heere
to
bring
you
into
a
guest-house
or
Hospitall
,
and
to
leaue
you
there
;
not
as
a
Patient
,
but
as
a
Patron
or
Treasurer
:
I
could
wish
,
that
vpon
this
sudden
calling
to
such
an
office
,
you
would
not
(
like
one
swolne
with
the
fatnesse
of
your
place
)
grow
bigger
or
prouder
,
nor
(
indeede
)
more
couetous
then
you
are
:
but
like
a
man
within
compasse
,
whose
bare
(
or
rather
thread-bare
)
content
is
his
kingdome
,
tread
all
Ambition

Stay
now
;
for
your
charge
:
you
shall
sweare
to
the
vttermost
of
your
endeuours
,
without
fraude
or
imposture
to
releeue
and
cherish
all
such
creatures
as
are
by
the
hand
of
Fortune
committed
to
your
custodie
,
as
also
to
elect
and
choose
officers
of
good
reputation
and
sincere
practise
to
supply
inferiour
places
vnder
you
as
:
a
Porter
,
who
shall
refuse
none
that
are
willing
to
enter
;
a
surgeon
,
that
will
protract
the
cure
long
ynough
vpon
them
,
and
that
if
any
desperate
Censurer
shal
stab
either
at
you
or
me
,
for
vndertaking
,
or
assigning
this
office
or
place
,
you
presently
take
him
into
the
darke
ward
,
and
there
let
him
be
lookt
to
,
and
kept
close
as
a

,
till
some
bodie
beg
him
;
all
this
you
shall

TO
THE
GOOD
OLD
Gentlewoman
,
and
her
special
Benefactresse
,
Madam
Fortune
,
Dame
Folly
(
Matron
of
the
Hospitall
)
makes
curtesie
,
and
speakes
as
followeth
.
IN
good
truth
(
Madame
)
I
am
at
my
wits
end
(
ere
I
begin
)
to
thinke
,
what
Error
,
or
Fury
it
is
that
hath
so
successiuely
possest
the
poore
despised
Nation
of
Poets
(
these
many
thousand
yeeres
)
still
to
defame
,
&
traduce
your
Ladyshyp
with
the
imputatiue
slanders
of
Niggardise
and
instability
;
when
I
(
which
haue
known
you
better
and
more
inwardly
,
then
a
thousand
of
these
Candle-wasting-Booke
Wormes
)
can
affirme
you
to
be
the
most
bounteous
,
open-handed
,
firme
,
vnswayed
,
constant
Ladie
vnder
Heauen
.
But
since
it
is
no
other
then
the
breath
of
such
a
pitifull
family
;
let
it
vanish
(
as
one
of
my
owne
Mottley
houshold
notes
wel
)
like
Tabacco
smoake
.
And
now
(
most
excellent
Patronesse
)
that
you
may
feele
(
for
I
know
you
do
not
vse
to
see
)
the
desire
I
haue
to
be
truely
gratefull
for
so
manie
Mountaines
of
Benefits
clapt
vpon
me
(
since
I
first
taught
Adam
to
make
him
a
suite
of
fig
leaues
)
I
do
heere
present
your
La.
with
the
translated
Species
of
an
Hospital
,
&
some
few
Bedred
fooles
,
lately
multiplied
out
of
Italian
into
English
,
with
a
most
prosperous
and
chymicall
successe
.
My
hopes
are
that
you
(
out
of
your
gratious
and
accustomed
blindnesse
)
will
not
so
much
,
as
deigne
to
looke
vpon
their
diseases
,
but
passe
them
ouer
with
the
hand
of
Fauour
,
as
you
haue
often
done
other
sicke
creatures
of
their
sanguine
complexion
.
They
lacke
cherishing
,
good
Lady
,
let
them
not
want
it
.
I
know
a
good
plump
Foole
comes
as
welcome
to
you
at
all
times
,
as
the
wisest
Anatomy
in
a
kingdome
;
you
take
no
pleasure
in
one
of
these
leane
withered
Cato's
:
&
it
is
much
more
in
the
way
of
your
praise
,
that
you
should
bestow
your
fauours
on
such
as
(
with
adoration
)
will
weare
them
on
their
foreheads
,
then
on
those
,
who
(
out
of
their
too
much
knowledge
)
studie
to
conceale
and
make
them
appeere
cheape
and
contemptible
.
Well
Madame
,
you
haue
the
happinesse
both
to
consider
and
distinguish
these
things
without
me
;
and
yet
if
the
olde
Dutch-man
(
he
of
Roterodam
)
were
to
be
brought
to
the
racke
now
,
he
would
protest
me
(
though
I
doubt
he
were
scarce
a
sound
Protestant
)
to
haue
too
meane
facultie
in
counsell
;
there
was
a
true
trick
of
my selfe
now
(
if
you
marke
it
)
Folly
must
haue
a
flurt
of
lightnesse
and
ostentation
euer
.
I
feare
nothing
more
,
but
that
I
haue
beene
too
graue
all
this
while
,
&
appeer'd
like
one
dancing
in
a
gowne
:
If
I
haue
,
pardon
me
;
I
beg
it
with
as
forced
a
looke
,
as
a
Player
that
in
speaking
an
Epilogue
makes
loue
to
the
two
pennie-roume
for
a
plaudite
.
But
leauing
this
,
what
say
you
?
Are
my
children
of
the
Spittle
to
be
receiued
into
your
good
thoughts
,
or
no
?
they
stay
on
the
other
side
of
the
leafe
waiting
your
pleasure
.
Me
thinkes
being
Fooles
,
they
should
be
answered
according
to
their
folly
,
which
is
with
silence
,
which
is
with
consent
.
Prologue
of
the
Author
to
the
beholders
.
THe
manifest
vanitie
,
euident
folly
,
and
expresse
madnes
of
some
miserable
and
vnhappie
men
,
who
with
a
mind
puffed
vp
with
pride
,
a
noddle
lighter
than
an
oake
apple
,
and
more
voide
of
wit
,
than
cockles
of
meate
in
the
waine
of
the
moone
,
presume
notwithstanding
extremely
vpon
themselues
,
in
that
they
are
of
this
friendly
and
pleasant
sort
of
Buffones
;
(
for
according
to
the
saying
of
the
Philosopher
,
where
little
wit
is
,
thither
doe
men
runne
with
greatest
fauour
and
liking
)
being
lifted
vp
to
such
an
height
,
that
like
to
that
memorable
gourd
in
Ariosto
,
in
short
space
of
time
they
must
needs
fall
:
is
the
principallest
cause
that
I
being
amazed
and
astonished
at
this
their
so
great
folly
,
after
my
Theater
of
sundrie
humors
and
inclinations
,
haue
taken
vpon
me
to
build
this
most
famous
Hospitall
,
where
the
renowmed
folly
of
these
men
may
be
seene
and
discerned
,
written
(
as
it
were
)
in
Text
letters
,
and
in
chambers
or
lodgings
apart
,
painted
and
set
foorth
by
me
with
so
beautifull
and
workman-like
prospectiue
,
that
other
Fooles
shall
flocke
about
them
;
and
as
the
Kings
of
Fooles
,
they
shall
receiue
an
open-mouthed
applause
of
them
all
,
to
the
ende
,
that
while
the
pipkin
boyleth
,
the
smoak
that
pleaseth
themselues
so
much
,
may
forcibly
come
steaming
out
at
the
crowne
of
their
owne
hats
.
Yet
is
this
no
reason
,
but
that
the
generall
Folly
of
the
world
,
spurreth
me
forward
to
doe
the
same
,
besides
the
kindes
of
particular
Follies
,
the
which
procure
me
that
(
all
humaine
kinde
participating
of
the
same
)
I
build
for
each
one
of
them
distinct
Cels
,
wherein
they
may
all
commodiously
,
and
with
great
ease
repose
themselues
.
And
in
this
point
,
it
will
appeare
how
godly
a
man
the
Author
of
this
frame
was
;
who
besides
the
building
,
made
at
the
great
instance
of
so
many
weake
and
poore
in
braine
,
with
excellent
inuention
hath
deuised
to
recommend
them
all
to
some
God
;
vnder
whose
protection
they
might
bee
kept
,
or
as
far
as
is
possible
,
defended
,
and
helped
of
their
folly
.
So
he
will
specially
beseech
Minerua
,
to
take
care
of
franticke
and
delirant
Fooles
;
Iupiter
Hospitalis
,
of
melancholike

sauage
;

,

,

;

;

Iuno
,
of
the

louing
Fooles
;
Goddesse

,

desperate

Vulcanus
,
of
heteroclite
,
light-brained
,
and
addle-headed

,
of
scoffing
Fooles
;

and

of
those
angrie
and
froward
;
Mars
,
of
the
furious

them

;
and
finally
,
infernall
Pluto
,
of
mischieuous
or
diabolicall
Fooles
.
In
the
meane
while
I
coniure
the
housholde
Gods
,
that
they
will
haue
a
care
of
this
family
of
general
Fooles
;
and
the
Gods
Tutelar
,
that
they
will
vndertake
the
tuition
and
protection
of
this
new
Hospitall
.
Goddesse
Ops
,
that
with
conuenient
remedies
,
shee
will
succour
so
many
infirme
,

naked

wit
and
vnderstanding
;
Goddesse
Medetrina
,
that
she
will
cure
them
well
;
God
Aesculapius
,
that
with
miraculous
Hellebore
,
he
will
purge
them
after
some
sort
;
Goddesse
Sospita
,
that
she
will
heale
them
out
of
hand
;
God
Ianus
,
that
hee
will
permit
euerie
one
to
enter
within
the
gates
of
this
Hospitall
,
that
they
may
behold
the
miserie
of
these
vnhappie
and
infortunate
:
and
that
especially
which
is
performed
on
the
festiuall
day
of
all
Fooles
,
as
the
Romaines
were
accustomed
,
the
Author
desireth
,
that
the
gates
may
be
set
broad
open
,
where
they
may
see
the
Bacchanals
of
the
Menades
,
a
matter
pleasant
aboue
all
Hydra
,
Medusa
,
or
Python
so
dreadfull
and
horrible
as
he
will
be
:
And
then
one
after
another
you
shall
see
the
palace
of
the
Witch
Alcina
,
chamber
by
chamber
,
full
of
people
enchanted
in
braine
,
and
transformed
with
brutish
Metamorphoses
into
vnreasonable
and
sottish
folke
,
where
betweene
laughter
&
admiration
,
euerie
one
shal
thinke
Not
to
the
wise
Reader
.
IT
being
but
a
Poeticall
fiction
,
that
this
whole
world
was
in
the
beginning
framed
of
Chaos
,
vpon
better
aduise
and
reason
one
may
change
opinion
,
or
at
least
haue
his
owne
censure
by
himselfe
:
it
seeming
vnto
mee
a
more
probable
thing
,
that
from
the
beginning
of
Forme
,
which
the
philosophers
hold
to
be
perfection
,
this
world
groweth
daily
to
Chaos
and
confusion
.
But
if
the
materiall
frame
be
any
waies
answerable
to
him
,
who
is
the
epitomethereof
(
man
being
termed
Microcosmos
)
I
am
sure
this
assertion
may
well
be
maintained
.
For
Nature
(
diuine
ministresse
)
contending
in
the
creation
of
all
things
,
to
imprint
in
them
the
seale
and
forme
of
Diuinitie
,
shee
findeth
no
enemie
nor
obstacle
to
this
her
perfect
worke
but
matter
,
which
still
encreaseth
according
to
the
augmentation
,
and
growth
of
things
created
.
Hereupon
commeth
the
great
difference
betweene
the
superiour
immortall
,
and
the
inferiour
corruptible
parts
of
man
,
the
faculties
of
the
soule
and
minde
,
being
choaked
in
all
her
diuine
intentions
,
by
the
grosse
humours
and
temperature
of
the
bodie
,
wherein
as
in
a
darke
and
loathsome
prison
,
it
is
while
the
gayle
deliuerie
of
death
inclosed
.
And
from
hence
in
like
manner
doth
it
arise
,
that
this
wittie
,
and
worthie
Author
,
obserueth
in
the
tree
of
humaine
conceit
and
vnderstanding
,
so
many
grafts
of
follie
and
fopperie
inserted
,
as
that
no
man
how
mightie
or
profound
soeuer
he
be
in
his
owne
sight
,
is
exempted
from
some
measure
or
proportion
of
these
dottrell
drammes
.
In
religion
(
which
is
the
highest
action
amongst
men
)
is
it
not
a
woonderfull
thing
to
see
the
obstinate
opposition
of
some
more
fantasticke
,
then
truely
zealous
:
one
iudging
euerie
decent
formalitie
,
deepe
and
dangerous
superstition
;
another
abandoning
all
true
ground
and
substance
,
for
naked
traditionall
rite
and
forme
.
Next
vnto
this
in
the
second
cure
of
our
bodies
,
how
infinite
are
the
follies
of
Phisitions
in
the
practise
of
their
Art
,
into
whose
hands
notwithstanding
at
one
time
or
other
are
committed
the
liues
of
almen
,
wading
through
such
a
number
of
incertainties
before
they
attaine
to
one
sound
probatum
,
and
making
their
trials
&
experiments
vpon
the
poore
carcases
of
men
:
and
yet
for
all
this
,
looke
what
through
an
whole
age
,
hath
beene
receiued
for
holsome
&
healthfull
administration
,
in
another
succeeding
,
is
reiected
as
most
preiudiciall
and
pernitious
.
So
that
the
applications
and
medicine
of
their
first
founders
,
is
now
of
no
woorth
,
except
they
haue
recourse
to
minerals
,
wherein
likewise
as
they
confesse
themselues
they
haue
attained
to
qualitie
;
but
of
quantitie
are
as
yet
altogether
ignorant
.
The
like
may
be
said
of
all
Arts
and
professions
amongst
men
,
wherein
there
is
that
confusion
and
incertaintie
,
as
the
doings
of
one
are
reprehended
by
another
for
most
vaine
and
foolish
.
But
if
you
enter
into
the
particular
humours
and
enclinations
of
each
one
,
Lord
,
what
a
pell-mell
of
conceit
and
muention
you
shall
discouer
,
this
seed
being
so
thicke
sowen
in
all
their
operations
,
that
after
their
deepe
consultations
,
firme
resolutions
,
and
prouident
circumspection
,
of
all
this
their
labour
,
there
commeth
vp
nothing
but
tares
and
folly
,
which
the
wisest
man
,
after
due
consideration
so
often
affirmed
.
One
is
ambitious
,
and
hauing
brought
his
thoughts
and
imaginations
to
a
good

some
instant
folly

they
being
reared
to
a
great
height
,
(
like
the
Babilonian
tower
)
vtterly
ouerthroweth
them
to
the
ground
.
Another
puts
on
the
Foxe
with
temporizing
humilitie
,
and
yet
omitting
some
small
circumstances
in
his
complots
and
contriuance
,
a
momentarie
error
confoundeth
all
his
laboured
and
prouident
deuises
.
For
as
violence
setleth
hatred
and
disdaine
in
the
harts
of
men
,
Nam
oderint

:
so
absolute
humilitie
breedeth

;

the
Italian
Prouer

Well
,
hauing
in
this
Hospitall
receiued
so
good
comfort
,
and
succour
my selfe
;
in
religious
charitie
I
could
not
but
make
knowne
vnto
you
this
worthie
Italian
worke
,
framed
peraduenture
vpon
their
yeere
of
Iubilee
,
or
grace
,
and
therefore
propounded
in
generall
to
all
men
,
for
reliefe
and
cure
of
their
giddie
maladies
.
I
craue
no
pardon
of
my
errors
or
faults
(
yet
are
they
many
,
and
onely
mine
owne
)
beeing
but
a
Foole
,
in
reporting
to
Fooles
what
an
other
hath
censured
of
humaine
folly
:
And
therefore
you
see
I
neither
incite
you
to
gratitude
,
by
Alexanders
receiuing
a
cup
of
water
so
thankfully
,
nor
to
reward
in
distributing
of
your
goodwils
,
by
imitation
of
that
noble
Prince
,
who
so
kindly
remunerated
the
taking
of
alowse
from
his
garment
.
Tullies
sentences
lye
dead
in
my
minde
,
and
I
haue
vtterly
lost
the
memoriall
of
Lycosthenes
Apophthegmes
:
this
I
did
carelesly
,
accept
you
of
it
as
lightly
.
Yet
consider
what
patience
you
haue
with
the
wine
you
drink
in
Tauernes
,
and
beleeue
me
(
as
a
poore
Traueller
)
it
is
all
exceedingly
bastardiz'd
from
his
originall
purity
:
and
euen
your
Phisicall
drams
,
that
are
so
greedily
sought
after
,
suffer
a
little
sophistication
by
the
hands
of
the
Apothecarie
.
Thinke
not
much
therefore
,
if
so
tickle
and
foolish
a
commoditie
as
this
is
,
be
somewhat
endamaged
by
the
transportation
of
it
out
of
Italy
,
but
making
some
pleasant
and
profitable
collection
out
of
the
same
,
let
vs
leaue
all
preeminence
of
folly
to
themselues
,
as
I
ascribe
all
due
reward
and
demerite
to
my
originall
Author
.
It
is
certaine
,
that
there
is
few
names
of
men
or
places
,
in
all
the
moderne
examples
of
this
Booke
,
but
haue
agnomination
or
proximitie
with
the
humours
&
qualities
of
the
partie
described
:
but
this
would
haue
made
too
homely
an
hotchpotch
in
English
,
and
obscured
so
much
wit
as
shineth
through
this
whole
miste
of
folly
,
by
too
palpable
and
triuiall
scurrilitie
.
If
any
man
finde
helpe
,
or
cure
of
his
maladie
,
by
deuout
inuocation
on
his
proper
Saint
,
or
Patron
,
let
him
ascribe
the
principall
glorie
thereof
to
him
,
and
yet
be
thankfull
to
his
earthly
founder

Il
pazzissimo
.
Of
Follie
in
generall
:
the
first
discourse
.
COnsidering
,
I
haue
taken
vpon
my selfe
this
burden
,
to
manifest
to
the
worlde
,
the
prodigious
and
monstrous
kindes
of
folly
,
which
with
an
aspect
,
and
countenaunce
more
deformed
then
Cadmus
his
serpent
,
more
vgly
then
the
Chimera
,
fuller
of
poison
then
the
dragon
of
Hesperides
,
more
hurtful
&
preiudiciall
then
Corebus
his
monster
,
more
terrible
then
the
Minotaure
of
Theseus
,
of
more
horrible
presence
then
Geryon
with
his
three
heads
,
is
come
downe
into
the
worlde
,
to
powre
out
amongst
vs
the
contagion
of
her
poison
,
like
the
beast
Alcida
,
to
the
hurt
and
dommage
of
euery
one
:
it
is
very
requisite
,
that
I
describe
her
after
such
a
manner
,
as
that
her
very
countenaunce
onely
may
be
of
force
to
daunt
&
terrifie
any
one
,
and
that
the
whole
world
may
be
ready
to
verifie
that
the
Harpies
were
not
so
fowle
,
and
vncleane
,
Hercules
his
bull
so
pestiferous
,
nor
the
sea
monster
Hesion
so
dommageable
as
she
;
who
entring
once
into
the
seate
of
the
braine
,
she
obfuscateth
imagination
,
peruerteth
conceit
,
alienateth
the
minde
,
corrupteth
reason
,
and
so
disturbeth
and
hindreth
a
man
,
that
he
can
neither
read
,
deliuer
,
nor
act
any
thing
as
he
shoulde
doe
:
but
on
the
contrarie
,
with
turbulent
conceptions
,
wauering
and
inconstant
motions
,
broken
sleep
,
a
sick
braine
,
&
an
emptie
soacked
head
,
like
a
withered
cucumber
,
he
vainely
like
a
blinde
mill
horse
,
whirleth
about
a
thousand
fopperies
,
some
of
them
no
lesse
lamentable
then
ridiculous
:
But
the
greatest
inconuenience
that
springeth
from
her
is
this
,
that
continually
weakening
the
braine
,
she
causeth
man
to
remaine
so
blockish
,
and
insensate
,
that
he
thinketh
himselfe
wisest
,
when
he
is
most
foole
;
then
deeming
,
that
he
is
an
other
Mercury
,
when
he
is
but
a
Corydon
,
or
some
Menalca
,
among
the
vulgar
:
and
this
commeth
to
passe
(
as
Hippocrates
in
his
Aphorismes
auerreth
)
bicause
;
Stultorum
infinitus
est
numerus
:
infinite
is
the
number
of
fooles
;
and
euen
as
Arpiages
not
impiously
onely
,
but
further
vnnaturally
and
villanously
did
with
his
owne
sonnes
braines
,
so
setteth
she
her
monstrous
teeth
against
one
and
other
,
coueting
to
satisfie
the
greedie
humours
of
humaine
fantasie
.
This
pretie
peate
,
spareth
not
kings
,
hath
no
respect
to
emperours
,
esteemeth
not
captaines
,
makes
no
reckoning
of
the
learned
,
regardeth
not
the
rich
,
feareth
not
those
noble
,
there
is
no
consideration
can
bridle
,
or
make
her
refraine
from
striking
,
(
like
a
blinde
man
)
round
about
,
and
at
randone
,
on
euery
side
,
whole
mortall
race
.
Behold
the
hand
that
this
beast
aunciently
bore
ouer
the
worlde
,
so
that
the
people
Agathyrses
inhabiting
neere
the
Syrtes
,
or
sandie
deserts
,
the
first
among
fooles
,
in
signe
of
their
euident
follie
,
went
naked
with
their
bodies
painted
of
sundry
colours
,
like
the
Leopards
spots
:
whereupon
Virgil
in
the
fourth
of
his
Aeneades
saith
:
The
Cretanes
,
Drypes
,
and
painted
Agathyrsians
rage
.
The
Audabatians
being
the
pictures
of
true
folly
,
were
woont
to
fight
in
the
warres
with
their
eies
closed
:
The
Arcadians
(
right
Fooles
)
thought
themselues
more
ancient
then
the
moone
:
and
for
this
cause
Seneca
in
his
Hippolytus
saith
:
Contemning
thee
,
that
didst
amidst
the
stars
soshine
:
A
planet
placed
there
:
since
th'
old
Arcadians
time
:
The
Himantopoles
voide
of
witte
,
went
creeping
vpon
the
earth
with
their
hands
and
feete
,
as
serpents
do
.
The
Mendesians
depriued
of
all
iudgement
,
performed
the
greatest
honours
they
coulde
possiblie
deuise
to
goateheards
.
The
people
Psylli
cockscombes
in
the
fourth
degree
,
as
Herodotus
reporteth
,
fought
with
armed
bands
against
the
south
wind
,
being
preiudicial
to
them
:
The
Tonemphians
halfe
out
of
their
wits
,
seriously
made
choise
of
adogge
insteade
of
a
king
,
and
by
the
motions
and
waggings
of
his
taile
,
they
presaged
empires
and
dominions
,
which
they
were
to
possesse
.
But
who
doth
not
perceiue
what
folly
raigneth
amongst
men
,
when
the
learned
,
who
shoulde
bee
wiser
then
others
,
shewe
themselues
otherwhiles
more
foolish
,
affirming
things
which
babies
woulde
scarce
beleeue
,
and
all
the
Magpies
in
a
countrie
would
hardly
vouchsafe
to
chatter
such
foppish
flimflams
as
they
doe
:
Is
not
that
of
Plinies
a
goodly
gullerie
,
that
Phileta
Coo
,
a
compounder
of
Elegies
,
was
of
so
light
and
subtile
a
bodie
,
Licinius
Mutianus
,
tels

simple
lie
,
when
he
reporteth
,
Ptolomaeus
Philadelphus
had
an
Hart
,
instructed
after
such
a
manner
,
as
that
he
plainly
vnderstood
his
master
,
when
he
spoke
to
him
in
Greeke
:

place

But
because
we
shall
the
better
know
in
generall
,
if
we
discourse
in
particular
,
by
little
and
little
,
let
vs
examine
Fooles
in

,

thus

the
full
and

of

,
we
seeke
after

Of
Franticke
and
doting
Fooles
:
the
second
discourse
.
THe
generall
opinion
of
all
learned
Iohn
Fernelius
Ambianus
in
the
fift
Booke
of
his
workes
medicinall
writeth
)
is
procured
sometimes
by
choler
,
and
otherwhiles
,
by
a
subtill
effused
blood
through
the
braine
,
or
some
other
cause
:
but
Frensie
hath
euer
his
cause
,
from
that
inflammation
of
the
braine
,
which
before
we
mentioned
:
and
besides
deliration
is
oftentimes
a
Symptome
,
or
after
passion
of
an
feuer
,
or
of
some
more
grieuous
maladie
,
but
of
a
Frensie
there
is
no
Symptome
,
it
effecting
&
causing
a
fit
or
feuer
;
and
this
dotage
hapneth
often
,
whereas
Frensie
falleth
out
but
seldome
;
Frensie
being
a
far
more
violent
infirmitie
,
then
deliration
or
dotage
.
But
because
I
meane
not
to
intreat
of
Folly
,
so
much
according
to
Phisitions
,
as
the
vulgar
opinion
,
I
haue
for
this
cause
,
comprehended
,
Franticke
and
brain-sicke
Fooles
vnder
one
kinde
,
because
wee
commonly
say
,
when
any
one
goeth
about
a
thing
arsie-versie
,
that
such
a
man
doteth
,
or
is
Franticke
,
the
same
happening
to
him
,
which
sorteth
them
,
who
are
properly
oppressed
with
Frensie
or
madnes
:
Amongst
vs
therefore
ordinarily
,
Franticke
,
and
deliring
Fooles
be
those
,
who
with
a
kind
of
imitation
of
their
owne
folly
&
Frensie
,
swarue
from
al
sense
,
in
anything
they
vtter
,
being
inconstant
,
and
so
intricating
themselues
,
that
another
Sphinx
,
should
haue
work
enough
to
explane
their
conceits
,
&
Oedipus
himselfe
would
sweate
,
to
apprehend
the
meaning
of
their
words
:
for
there
vtterance
is
readie
,
and
at
hand
,
but
then
fantasie
on
the
other
side
in
them
,
is
mounted
on
a
winged
Pegasus
rouing
here
and
there
at
randome
.
Of
this
kinde
of
Fooles
,
two
examples
only
may
serue
for
the
learned
,
the
one
of
a
certaine
man
,
named
by
Seneca
in
his
Epistles
,
Sparsus
,
to
whom
he
ascribeth
Orlando
Furioso
,

without

,
so
that

might

in
token
of
the
understanding
thou
hast
giuen
to
thesefooles
,
who
before
were
as
voide
of
witte
,
as
this
gourd
is
emptie
of
substance
:
Peace

Of
solitarie
and
melancholike
Fooles
:
the
thirde
discourse
.
THe
most
renowmed
Phisitions
,
as
well
ancient
as
moderne
,
ioine
in
this
fundamentall
conclusion
,
that
melancholie
is
to
be
reputed
a
kinde
of
dotage
,
without
feauer
or
fit
,
which
springeth
from
no
other
thing
then
aboundance
of
melancholike
humour
that
occupieth
the
seate
of
the
minde
,
it
being
a
common
thing
with
all
melancholike
persons
to
haue
the
braine
euill
affected
,
either
essentially
by
nature
,
or
voluntarily
by
their
owne
consent
,
as
Altomar
affirmeth
Paulus
Medicus
assertion
in
his
thirde
booke
and
fourteenth
chapter
;
as
also
the
position
of
Iohn
Fernelius
Ambianus
,
in
his
treatie
De
partium
morbis
,
&
symptomatibus
,
Donato
Antonio
d'Altomare
,
by
the
authoritie
of
Galen
,
in
his
second
booke
Decausis
symptomatum
:
of
Aetius
in
his
particular
chapter
of
melancholie
,
and
of
Trallianus
in
the
thirteenth
chapter
of
his
first
booke
,
prooueth
that
melancholike
men
haue
onely
their
partimaginatiue
offended
,
and
not
cogitation
,
nor
memorie
,
they
being
deceiued
for
the
most
part
about
things
to
be
seene
or
discerned
,
wherein
the
errour
of
imagination
concurreth
,
and
not
of
the
other
two
faculties
.
In
like
manner
all
generally
confesse
thus
much
,
that
the
kinds
of
this
melancholike
madnes
be
sundrie
and
diuers
,
the
which
may
well
be
perceiued
in
the
progresse
of
this
our
worke
in
hande
:
and
amongst
the
variable
effects
of
this
madnes
,
they
assigne
these
:
that
it
is
accompanied
with
little
courage
or
valour
:
they
possessed
therewith
be
replenished
with
feare
and
sadnes
,
not
able
to
yeelde
any
reason
thereof
:
they
desire
to
be
solitarie
:
are
in
hatred
with
humane
conuersation
;
they
abhorre
recreations
,
and
contentments
for
a
time
;
and
then
againe
(
as
Theodorus
Priscianus
in
his
second
booke
of
De
medendis
humani
corporis
malis
,
Cumean
Sibilla
,
and
before
the
gate
thereof
,
it
hath
Iupiter
for
a
signe
,
whom
as
protector
of
such
like
people
,
we
will
in
this
inuocation
following
call
vpon
for
aide
and
helpe
.
A
petition
to
Iupiter
for
melancholike
and
sauage
Fooles
.
THis
troope
of
weakelings
,
depriued
of
all
helpe
and
aduise
,
directed
by
thy
name
&
by
my
meane
,
haue
recourse
vnto
thee
,
thou
greatest
sonne
of
Opis
&
Saturne
,
brother
&
companion
to
Queene
Iuno
,
condignlie
called
Iupiter
,
in
respect
of
the
helpe
thou
affoords
them
that
neede
;
the
most
excellent
and
greatest
,
for
thy
infinite
goodnes
wherewith
thou
gouernest
the
whole
worlde
,
a
father
,
a
creator
,
altitonant
king
of
the
gods
,
lord
of
the
world
,
rector
of
Olympus
,
corrector
of
faults
&
offences
,
highest
father
aetherean
,
Sceptiger
,
omnipotent
,
with
many
other
illustrous
titles
,
bicause
al
things
at
the
least
point
with
thy
finger
,
are
readie
to
obey
:
wherefore
being
moued
by
so
great
deitie
,
&
by
so
great
maiestie
stirred
vp
,
I
request
thee
by
that
pittie
the
Curetians
shewed
in
nourishing
thee
in
mount
Ida
,
to
haue
commiseration
of
these
poore
comfortlesse
people
:
and
if
the
loue
of
Europa
,
or
of
thy
sweete
page
Ganimede
comfort
thee
at
the
hart
,
thinking
on
the
martyrdome
,
suffered
paine
,
susteined
and
passed
vexations
of
so
great
pleasures
afterwardes
ensuing
,
by
the
same
iudiciall
insight
,
I
coniure
thee
to
ease
these
afflicted
,
to
comfort
these
distressed
,
and
to
deliuer
out
of
vexation
and
greefe
the
melancholistes
,
who
are
put
ouer
to
thee
as
to
their
fauourable
star
:
If
thou
beest
hee
that
begot
Minerua
,
goddesse
of
wisedome
,
purge
their
heads
of
so
great
follie
,
wherwith
they
abound
.
If
thou
beest
truly
called
Panompheus
,
for
that
thou
hearest
euery
mans
voice
,
attend
then
not
the
voices
,
but
euen
the
shrill
cries
and
exclamations
of
these
abandoned
.
If
thou
beest
the
Hospitall
Iupiter
,
so
celebrated
of
Poets
,
haue
care
of
these
who
in
a
poore
Hospitall
call
out
aloude
for
thy
succour
.
If
thou
beest
that
Iupiter
Penetrant
,
helde
so
deere
in
olde
time
,
let
these
mens
miseries
pearce
not
onely
to
the
eares
,
but
euen
to
the
bowels
of
such
a
pittifull
gods
hart
.
If
thou
beest
the
Lapidian
Iupiter
which
workest
woonders
in
stones
,
what
greater
miracle
canst
thou
performe
then
this
,
to
remoue
from
these
insensible
stones
the
sauage
and
obdurate
humour
they
are
possessed
withall
?
If
thou
beest
that
Iupiter
whom
all
men
call
Genius
,
for
the
inclination
and
desire
thou
hast
to
be
fauouable
to
all
,
haue
a
little
regard
I
beseech
thee
vnto
them
who
haue
neede
of
thy
greatest
grace
.
If
thou
beest
that
prodigious
Iupiter
who
hath
wrought
so
many
miracles
in
former
ages
,
performe
presently
this
woonder
,
that
thornes
may
become
roses
,
thistles
lillies
,
and
nettles
gilloflowers
:
and
then
with
liuely
voice
the
whole
Hospitall
will
resounde
,
euer
liue
thou
great

will

thy

,
offering
to
thy
image
a
thousand
bunches
of
wilde
rew
,
for
hauing
purged
these
men
of
so
great
bestialitie
as
raigned
in
them
:
Confident
therefore
in
thy
accustomed
assistance
,
I
expect
for
these
impotent
,
due
helpe
and
aide
.
Of
idle
and
carelesse
Fooles
:
the
fourth
discourse
.
IN
the
tribe
of
Fooles
,
it
is
requisite
we
also
number
certaine
idle
or
carelesse
men
,
who
seeme
alwaies
to
be
asleepe
in
matters
concerning
themselues
,
being
surprized
with
such
a
slothfulnes
,
that
in
a
manner
Diogenianus
his
prouerbe
The
sunne
on
them
his
beames
doth
seldome
cast
:
Nor
in
his
chariot
mounts
the
glittring
skie
:
To
earth
descending
when
the
day
is
past
.
And
amongst
these
may
we
rightly
place
that
Vacia
a
Romaine
citizen
mentioned
by
Seneca
in
his
epistles
,
Vaciahio
sit
us
est
;
this
is
a
sordid
or
sluggish
Vaciahio
.
It
seemeth
also
that
Ouid
alludeth
to
these
men
in
that
verse
:
Stulte
,
quid
est
somnus
gelidae
nisi
mortis
imago
?
For
questionlesse
a
foole
of
this
kinde
is
so
drowsie
in
all
his
operations
,
as
hemay
in
a
manner
be
saide
to
be
dead
:
whereupon
master
Iohn
Dante
hauing
relation
to
such
miserable
people
,
vtttered
these
verses
following
concerning
them
:
The
world
of
these
,
no
fame
,
will
aie
permit
:
Mercie
,
and
iustice
,
hold
them
in
disdaine
:
No
words
:
to
looke
,
and
leaue
them
is
more
fit
.
But
if
moderne
examples
be
of
greater
force
,
to
discouer
Cauccio
Lupidio
,
for
one
most
notable
,
who
entring
into
an
Inne
,
while
his
companions
supped
merily
,
and
sat
two
howers
at
the
table
,
he
was
two
howers
,
and
a
quarter
in
tying
one
of
his
shoe
strings
;
and
when
the
oaste
thinking
hee
had
supped
with
the
rest
,
called
vpon
him
to
goe
to
bed
,
he
yet
demaunded
a
bodkin
to
make
a
new
hole
for
his
shoe
tying
,
iudging
that
this
shoe
sat
not
yet
cleane
enough
to
his
minde
.
But
surely
that
of
Marchetto
Piombino
,
is
no
lesse
famous
,
who
going
to
Rome
to
seeke
a
master
and
to
learne
some
trade
wherewith
to
gaine
his
liuing
,
in
the
way
hee
light
by
chance
vpon
a
stone
,
the
which
he
began
to
spurne
before
him
with
his
feete
;
and
before
he
recouered
the
neerest
gate
of
Rome
,
all
his
companions
that
set
out
with
him
,
returning
backe
,
found
him
yet
encombred
about
rouling
that
stone
afore
him
:
finally
in
presence
of
them
all
,
he
sat
downe
vpon
the
ground
,
and
saide
:
that
when
he
once
came
to
Rome
wals
,
he
would
thrust
it
so
farre
in
,
as
that
afterward
,
it
might
neuer
more
annoy
such
strangers
as
trauelled
thither
.
These
miserable
,
and
infortunate
crew
therefore
,
depriued
of
wit
and
vnderstanding
,
hauing
neede
of
Apolloes
illumination
and
grace
,
they
maintaine
the
ensigne
of
him
,
as
of
their
Protector
,
before
their
Cell
,
whilest
they
remaine
in
obscuritie
and
holes
,
in
this
darksome
Guest-house
of
their
madnes
;
wherefore
with
solemne
supplications
,
let
vs
call
vpon
god
Apollo
in
their
ayd
:
saying
:
An
orizon
to
Apollo
for
idle
and
carelesse
Fooles
.
OSacred
Apollo
,
called
by
the
Graecians
Phoebus
,
who
with
thy
golden
haire
or
beames
comfortest
both
the
one
and
the
other
Hemispheare
,
acceptable
to
all
,
discourteous
to
none
,
cast
such
a
light
of
thy
diuine
beames
vpon
this
blind
and
carelesse
retinue
of
fooles
,
that
they
may
perceiue
themselues
by
thee
in
minde
rectified
,
and
thus
enioying
thy
diuine
illumination
,
exalt
and
magnifie
by
this
meanes
,
that
thy
vertue
and
power
which
slew
the
proud
Cyclopes
,
wounded
the
wicked
sonnes
of
Niobe
,
and
extinguished
that
cursed
serpent
Python
,
whereupon
thou
drewest
to
thy selfe
that
glorious
title
of
Pythius
:
Thou
planter
of
Amfrisus
,
inhabiter
of
Parnassus
,
louer
of
Helicone
;
lord
of

Caballyne
,

Laurell
,
inuentor
of
the
Harpe
,
master
of
Astrologie
,
and
prince
of
Phisicke
,
helpe
these
poore
slimslacks
,
who
haue
need
of
internal
remedies
,
for
the
restitution
of
their
disturbed
braine
,
destitute
witte
,
obfuscate
vnderstanding
,
lost
memorie
:
and
as
thou
art
called
Pronopius
,
for
deliuering
the
Beotians
from
gnats
;
Lemnius
for
curing
the
Sicilians
of
the
plague
;
Erethibius
for
healing
the
Rhodians
of
the
Emeroydes
,
so
I
beseech
thee
by
these
noble
titles
correspondent
to
thy
great
dietie
,
with
the
others
of
Thimbrius
,
Cataoneus
,
Cylleus
,
Tenateus
,
Larisseus

Marmorius
of

,
that
it
may
please
thee
to
adde
vnto
these
epythites
this
one

the
great
Phisition
of
Fooles
ydle

,
to
the
ende
that
thy
name
throughout
the
whole
world
,
with
exceeding
prayses
,
may
be
extolled
and
magnified
.
But
if
in
commiseration
thou
regardest
these
men
,
as
thou
hast
done
the
former
nations
,
in
honour
of
thee
,
thou
shalt
see
consecrated
before
thy
image
a
paire
of
spectacles
of
sixtie
pound
weight
in
thy
Temple
of
Delphos
,
as
a
true
signe
of
thy
hauing
recouered
,
and
healed
so
senselesse
a
people
as
these
were
,
and
alwaies
this
one
honour
shall
be
attributed
to
thee
,
that
the
blinde
see
by
meane
of
great
Apolloes
spectacles
at
their

:
dispatch
therefore
,
and
make
haste
of
thy
helpe
,
for
thou
canst
not
delay
neuer
so
little
,
but
these

carelesse

Fooles
,
will
in

prooue
absolute

.
Of
drunken
Fooles
:
the
fift
discourse
.
IT
is
an
euident
,
and
manifest
thing
,
that
amongst
the
diuers
kindes
of
matter
,
that
procured
by
the
fume
,
and
vapour
of
wine
,
is
to
be
placed
;
which
constituteth
these
kinde
of
Fooles
,
whom
we
commonly
call
drunkards
;
they
being
of
this
qualitie
,
that
when
they
bee
heated
and
chafed
with
wine
,
they
raise
such
tumults
and
noyse
,
as
they
resemble
herein
Steropus
or
Bruntus
in
Vulcane
his
forge
:
wherfore
Atheneus
Beware
of
brawles
oft
stirred
vp
in
wine
:
And
Herodotus
in
this
consideration
saith
,
that
wine
The
former
age
which
was
of
purest
gold
,
Made
acornes
sauorie
,
with
sharpe
hunger
sause
:
And
Nectar
sweet
,
of
riuer
water
cold
.
Oh
,
happie
were
this
our
age
,
if
with
such
abstinence
it
were
endued
,
but
the
truth
is
,
they
are
now
adaies
no
other
,
but
giddie-headed
Pyes
,
chattering
after
fiftie
in
the
hundred
,
when
the
good
Rhenish
liquor
beginneth
to
worke
.
Among
those
of
late
daies
,
one
example
of
Margute
of
Binasco
is
able
to
fill
the
whole
world
with
laughter
;
for
when
he
hath
drunke
but
three
cups
of
muskadell
,
then
he
sleepes
like
god
Bacchus
,
and
thus
his
wits
riding
on
the
spurre
,
at
last
he
arriueth
with
the
first
poste
in
Lubberland
,
where
at
the
first
setting
of
foote
,
he
meeteth
Tom
Tospot
,
taking
him
for
the
best
companion
in
the
world
:
but
when
the
good
Canarie
gets
but
vp
to
his
crowne
,
then
like
one
of
the
Menades
or
Bacchus
furious
Nunnes
,
he
runneth
vp
and
downe
the
house
,
filling
euerie
place
with
such
terrour
,
as
it
seemeth
,
another
wilde
Baiardo
hath
broken
his
halter
,
no
man
daring
to
come
in
the
way
of
such
a
headstrong
beast
as
this
:
yet
sometimes
he
procureth
to
the
companie
great
solace
and
recreation
,
as
that
night
he
did
,
when
being
drunke
,
and
going
to
bed
,
hee
beheld
the
moone
,
and
thinking
it
had
beene
a
riuer
,
he
said
to
his
companions
and
friends
;
Hold
me
I
pray
you
,
for
feare
I
drowne
my selfe
in
this
riuer
.
Among
the
ancients
,
the
Scythians
,
and
Thracians
are
greatly
blamed
,
because
the
greatest
glorie
they
tooke
,
was
in
drinking
while
they
were
drunke
:
wherefore
Horace
writeth
of
them
.
The
Thracians
tosse
the
bowles
with
merrie
glee
:
And
Aristotle
in
reproch
of
the
Syracusanes
maketh
Claudius
,
Caldius
;
and
for
Nero
,
Mero
,
or
Wine
.
But
he
that
knownes
not
what
an
euill
ebrietie
is
,
let
him
onely
read
the
description
of
Bacchus
,
set
downe
by
the
Poets
,
for
by
this
he
shall
be
cleerely
satisfied
concerning
the
errour
thereof
:
For
Bacchus
was
painted
in
forme
of
a
boy
,
in
that
,
drunkardes
forgoe
their
wit
and
vnderstanding
:
&
in
womans
forme
,
bicause
drunkards
performe
no
operation
manlike
:
disroabed
and
naked
,
for
that
a
man
can
communicate
no
secret
with
ebrious
men
:
and
drawen
in
a
chariot
,
bicause
instabilitie
and
inconstancie
is
incident
to
them
:
with
an
iuie
garland
about
his
head
,
in
that
,
as
the
iuie
weakeneth
and
ruinateth
wals
,
so
drunkards
are
apt
to
all
kinde
of
waste
&
spoile
.
And
thus
much
may
suffice
for
this
race
of
fooles
,
who
within
the
Hospitall
before
their
Cell
,
haue
god
Abstemius
for
an
ensigne
,
bicause
he
is
the
protector
and
aduocate
of
all
drunkardes
:
wherefore
let
vs
haue
recourse
vnto
him
in
this
petition
following
,
for
their
fauour
and
furtherance
,
A
petition
to
god
Abstemius
for
drunken
Fooles
.
WIth
fewe
words
,
but
with
so
much
the
more
groaning
of
spirite
in
such
great
need
,
I
come
vnto
thee
O
thou
contemner
of
Lyaeus
,
aduersarie
to
Bacchus
,
foe
to
Liberus
,
and
mortall
enimie
to
Bromius
,
beseeching
thee
by
that
vertue
through
which
thou
didst
effect
,
that
the
Locrians
held
it
for
a
capital
offence
,
to
be
drunken
with
wine
,
&
stirredst
vp
in
Mosco
Sophista
,
and
Apollonius
Thianeus
,
thoughts
heere
from
so
remote
and
alienate
,
they
hating
the
Phigalians
aboue
any
contagious
disease
,
in
that
their
whole
life
was
in
the
bottome
of
cellers
;
that
thou
wouldest
reforme
these
men
of
this
foolish
desire
they
haue
,
to
be
euery
day
drunke
.
And
if
thou
grantest
them
this
grace
and
fauour
,
we
at
this
present
make
a
vowe
,
to
hang
vp
before
thy
image
a
bottle
ful
of
good
Zante
cuite
,
in
token
of
the
health
thou
hast
vouchsafed
this
foolish
crew
,
more
of
good
will
,
then
for
any
vse
thou
hast
of
it
.
Peace
be
with
thee
,
and
helpe
those
that
haue
need
of
thy
assistance

Of

Fooles

in

singular
Oratour
in
his

,
two
yeeres
before
he

lost
his

in
such
a
sorte
,
that
he
coulde
not
deliuer
fower
words
togither
of

matter
,
or
that
might
be

supplication

Fooles

NOw
I
turn
me
to
old
Caron
,
prince
of
the
Stigian
lake
,
lorde
of
Cocytus
,
famous
pylate
of
Lethes
,
principall
keeper
of
Phlegeton
:
and
by
thy
boate
which
ferrieth
ouer
mortall
men
to
the
lake
of
obliuion
,
I
intreate
thee
that
thou
wouldst
looke
backe
vpon
this
forgetfull
rablement
,
who
hauing
lost
their
remembrance
of
things
worldly
,
stande
plunged
in
the
water
of
Lethes
,
nay
&
gorged
vp
to
the
very
throat
:
Vouchsafing
helpe
to
this
madging
,
thou
shalt
before
thy
graue
bearded
image
,
and
in
the
temple
consecrated
to
thy
name
amongst
the
Cizenians
,
see
hanged
vp
a
case
of
crickets
,
as
a
signe
of
thy
helping
these
fooles
;
who
hauing
nowe
woorse
memories
then
a
cricket
,
shall
then
discouer
so
ample
remembrance
,
that
blessed
Caron
to
his
great
glorie
,
may
remember
himselfe
to
drawe
out
of
that
Lethean
gulph
those
men
,
who
are
now
continually
drowned
and
buried
therein
:
Beare
vp
therefore
the
helme
of
thy
barke
,
and
passe
them
ouer
at

while
the
memorie
thereof
is

greater
then
euer

Of
stupide
,
forlorne
,
and
extaticall
Fooles
:
the
seuenth
discourse
.
IN
the
ranke
and
number
offooles
are
they
also
woorthie
to
be
placed
,
who
in
their
actions
,
wordes
,
deliberations
,
and
resolutions
,
seeme
like
immooueable
and
insensiblestones
:
whereupon
,
men
assignethem
the
name
of
stupide
,
forlorne
,
and
extaticall
fooles
,
they
being
in
a
manner
halfe
dead
in
all
the
operations
that
proceede
from
them
:
Of
this
race
were
the
people
Gousofanti
,
inhabiters
of
one
part
of
Libya
,
who
were
of
so
dead
and
fearefull
a
disposition
,
that
they
shunned
the
meeting
with
any
one
,
neither
coulde
they
be
brought
to
conuerse
with
any
men
liuing
,
they
thinking
themselues
halfe
kilde
in
other
mens
companie
.
The
ancient
Rhegians
are
likewise
described
to
be
of
this
nature
,
who
by
their
slothfulnes
and
woonderfull
timiditie
,
raised
a
prouerb
,
that
when
men
spake
of
an
abiect
or
cowardly
man
,
they
woulde
say
Rheginis
timidior
;
more
fearefull
then
the
Rhegians
:
Who
will
denie
that
Artemon
the
Grecian
to
haue
beene
a
stupide
foole
,
and
stript
of
all
wit
,
that
enclosed
himselfe
in
a
house
so
long
time
betweene
two
wals
,
and
to
no
purpose
,
causing
two
of
his
seruants
to
hold
an
iron
target
continually
ouer
his
head
,
to
the
ende
nothing
might
fall
vpon
him
from
aboue
,
to
his
hurt
or
danger
;
and
when
sometimes
hee
went
abroad
out
of
the
house
,
he
was
borne
in
a
litter
with
a
couer
ouer
it
,
brauely
accommodated
for
the
same
feare
.
What
report
Aristophanes
and
Lucianus
of
one
Colombino
Bergamasco
(
although
he
was
thought
to
haue
had
an
excellent
wit
)
that
in
praying
he
made
very
many
and
often
gestures
;
but
his
wordes
were
choaked
in
the
halfe
vtterance
,
for
while
hee
was
feruent
in
gesture
,
his
words
as
frozen
,
durst
not
discouer
themselues
,
there
being
so
little
correspondencie
betwixt
the
one
and
the
other
.
Among
these
examples
,
I
iudge
that
of
the
Salonesian
to
bee
thankes
woorthie
,
who
when
he
was
come
to
the
barre
to
plead
in
fauour
of
a
clyent
of
his
,
was
suddenly
surprised
with
a
cold
sweate
,
which
put
him
into
a
tertian
feuer
,
that
as
it
were
in
poste
,
sent
him
headlong
to
hell
,
or
the
region
of
Rhadamanthus
.
Now
these
Fooles
are
properly
recommended
to
Sentinus
,
protector
of
them
insensate
,
and
before
their
Cell
in
the
Hospitall
they
haue
erected
his
ensigne
,
because
they
expect
from
him
that
aide
,
which
we
in
this
petition
following
,
earnestly
seeke
for
at
his
hands
.
A
petition

God
Sentinus

FRom
the
patrone
of

of
these

doe
these
poore

forlorne
Fooles
expect
opportune
helpe
and
succour
,
to
the
ende
the
valour
thou
gauest
to
Theseus
and
Pirithous
to
enter
the
irreturnable
shadowes
of

Ditis
his

;
as
also
that
thou
gauest
to

Typhis
to
furrow
the
raging
waues
of
the
Colchian
sea
,
he
to
rauish
faire
Proserpina
,
and
the
other
to
steale
away
the
golden-fleece
,
so
much
esteemed
,
that
this
vertue
(
I
say
)
by
thy
grace
being
found
in
them
,
they
may
appeere
to
be
miraculously
deliuered
,
to
thy
great
honour
and
glorie
,
from
the
feare
and
amasement
of
death
.
The
which
if
they
obtaine
(
as
they
hope
to
doe
)
they
will
offer
to
thy
glorious
deitie
,
a
faire
bunch
of
nettles
,
as
acknowledging
their
recouered
sense
,
from
the
sting
of
thy
diuinitie
,
and
their
wit
lost
happily
restored
:
yeeld
therefore
to
their
prayers
,
if
this
glorie
touch
thee
so
neere

hart

as
rightly
it
ought

THis
grosse
sort
of
ignorants
commonly
called
Oxe-heads
,
who
natu
rally
apprehend
nothing
,
&
when
they
are
in

are
so
incircumspect

that
a

may
make

beleeue

are
they

we
terme
by
the
name
of

notted

Egnatius
to
this
purpose
maketh
mention
of
one
Britannio

who
naturally
was
so
grosse

blockish
,
as
his
Indoctior
Philonide

more
vnlearned

THese
dull-pated-Calfes
haue
recourse
vnto
thee
,
thou
most
sollemne
Oxe
of
the
Aegyptians
,
by
all
men
called
,
Apis
,
and
Serapis
,
to
obtaine
at
thy
hands
this
fauour
,
that
seeing
they
be
Oxen
(
as
thou
art
)
thou
wilt
bee
vnto
them
so
gratious
,
that
they
become
not
one

more
grosse
then
Cammels

For
that
honour
therefore
which
is
done
vnto
thee
in
Aegypt

which
farre
exceedeth

Tortoyse

I
pray

rebeseech
thee
to
grant
vnto
them
this
demaunded
grace

fauour

The
which
if
thou
shalt
doe
(
as
we
hope
no
lesse
)
in
the
Temple
consecrated
to
thee
,
and
before
thy
image
thou
shalt
see
placed
a
bottle
of
hay

with
an

to
shew

Of
dottrels
and
shallow-pated
Fooles
:
the
ninth
discourse
.
THese
Infortunate
,
and
Lourdish
sort
,
that
so
often
haue
their
wits
a woolgathering
,
their
heads
being
as
emptie
of
wit
,
as
an
egshel
,
and
that
through
the
absurditie
of
their
gestures
,
words
and
cogitations
mooue
euerie
one
to
laughter
that
heareth
them
,
in
this
Catologue
of
Fooles
are
termed
,
dottrels
,
and
men
shallow-pated
.
And
such
did
the
Bithinians
discouer
themselues
to
be
,
who
(
as
Caelius
writeth
)
climbed
Boëtians
borne
in
grosse
and
foggie
aire
.
Amongst
those
of
late
daies
,
the
example
of
Francino
of
Matelica
may
suffice
,
who
not
forbearing
to
plaie
the

tooke

he
woulde
needes
be
spinning
of
varne
,
but
he
so
besnared
the
threed
&
tow
togither
,
as
the
old
woman
being
starke
madde
,
was
faine
to
breake
the
rocke
continually
vpon
his
head
,
and
thus
rating
and
chiding
,
she
halfe
despaired
of
her
sonne
whom
she
sawe
to
haue
so
little
witte
and
vnderstanding
.
Mattuccio
of
Valuasson
poore
sillie
soule
,
was
also
such
an
one
,
for
when
his
father
sent
him
into
the
countrey
,
to
see
what
the
haruest
folks
did
,
although
he
was
fower
and
thirtie
yeeres
olde
,
hee
fell
a
playing
with
the
children
at
Musse
and
Scailepin
,
occupying
himselfe
the
whole
day
in
such
fopperies
:
afterwards
returning
home
,
without
relating
any
thing
to
that
purpose
for
which
he
was
sent
.
There
was
an
other
also
of
Castell
Bubano
in
Romagna
,
in
wit
sympathizing
much
with
the
name
of
his
countrey
,
who
barren
of
all
conceit
,
one
day
when
he
should
haue
carried
victuals
to
certaine
workmen
,
by
his
masters
commandement
,
he
went
into
a
corne-field
to
make
of
these
droanes
and
oten
pipes
that
children
vse
to
plaie
vpon
,
and
consumed
the
whole
day
in
these
ninneries
,
the
workmen
expecting
in
vaine
that
this
hammar-headed
dolte
shoulde
bring
them
their
dinner
,
being
halfe
dead
with
hunger
.
But
this
example
of
Tonino
Buffalora
,
giues
life
to
themall
,
who
in
his
returne
from
Rome
,
passing
through
the
forrest
of
Rauenna
,
he
filled
a
wallet
full
of
flies
and
gnats
,
being
such
great
ones
as
that
woode
affoordeth
,
and
a
good
large
pillowbeere
with
horse-flies
,
carrying
them
into
his
countrey
,
where
being
arriued
,
hee
presently
sent
to
his
friendes
and
kinsfolkes
,
that
they
woulde
come
and
see
him
,
for
he
would
present
them
with
certaine
strange
conceits
which
hee
had
brought
with
him
from
Rome
;
who
though
they
knew
him
to
be
but
a
foole
,
yet
tooke
they
him
not
for
so
very
a
sotte
as
at
last
they
found
him
;
for
taking
them
all
a
tone
side
into
a
secret
chamber
,
he
powred
out
before
them
that
huge
number
of
flies
,
gnats
,
and
hornets
,
which
flewe
in
the
eies
and
faces
of
euerie
one
,
with
some
small
disturbance
,
yet
giuing
them
so
great
occasion
to
laugh
,
as
surely
for
the
nouelty
of
this
iest
they
were
readie
to
burst
therewith
.
Fooles
therefore
of
this
broode
bee
all
termed
dizzards
and
shallow-pated
,
who
within
this
Hospitall
haue
hanging
out
for
a
signe
,
the
Samian
sheepe
,
as
their
great
fauourer
:
and
therefore
in
this
supplication
wee
will
request
his
aide
and
succour
.
A
supplication
to
the
Samian
sheepe
,
for
shallow-pated
,
and
dottrell
Fooles
.
IF
the
honor
which
the
ancient
Samians
did
vnto
thee
(
O
reuerend
Sheepe
)
bee
such
,
as
it
farre
exceedeth
that
which
the
Delphians
did
to
the
wolfe
thy
enimie
,
and
greatly
surmounteth
that
which
was
perfourmed
to
the
Romaines
goose
,
and
the
Egyptians
goate
,
and
if
thy
glorious
worship
bee
one
of
the
greatest
solemnities
that
euer
any
people
hath
religiously
celebrated
;
by
this
honor
,
and
by
such
worship
,
I
nowe
entreate
thee
,
that
of
these
thy
sheepe
thou
wilt
haue
that
care
,
which
vnto
thy selfe
being
one
,
seemeth
conuenient
,
and
so
much
the
rather
,
bicause
if
thou
beest
not
propitius
vnto
them
now
at
their
neede
,
thou
wilt
loose

Of
plaine
lourdish
,
and
naturall
Fooles
:
the
eleuenth
discourse
.
THere
be
certaine
silly
wretches
in
the
world
,
so
blockish
in
resoning
,
harsh
in
proceeding
,
&
in
their
operations
,
proceedings
,
&
negotiations
so
foolish
,
that
in
al
right
they
obtaine
the
title
of
lourdish
&
natural
fooles
in
the
world
,
being
distinct
from
al
those
we
haue
before
made
mention
of
.
And
if
we
be
content
to
referre
our selues
to
the
examples
of
ancient
writers
,
we
must
necessarily
affirme
,
that
Miltiades
so
celebrated
by
Homere
,
was
one
of
these
archdolts
:
for
he
then
came
to
succour
Troy
,
when
the
citie
was
alreadie
ruinated
,
and
destroyed
,
and
therefore
it
grew
into
a
prouerbe
with
Lucian
.
Mitiadis
auxilium
,
Ille
ego
qui

gracili
modulat

,
Saide
,
I
Iohn
Nicolo
,
who
was
condemned
for
the
stinking
creuices
that
were
carried
to
Rauenna
.
And
what
say
you
to
that
goodly
Logician
scarce
worth
three
farthings
,
who
expounding
those
verses
of
Peter
Hispanus
,
Barbara
,
celarent
,
Dary
,
Ferro
,
Baralipton
.
Said
,
that
the
barbarous
soldiers
of
king
Darius
had
put
on
their
head
peeces
,
murmuring
exceedingly
:
and
then
declaring
the
meaning
of
the
other
;
Celantes
,
Dabitis
,
Fapesmo
,
Frisesomorum
,
Expounded
,
that
those
murrions
or
headpeeces
,
made
the
Phrigians
and
Moores
togither
astonished
:
then
comming
to
the
other
,
Cesare
,
Camestres
,
Festino
,
Baroco
,
Darapti
,
He
interpreted
,
that
Caesars
men
were
arriued
at
Mestra
,
and
that
they
made
haste
to
be
vpon
their
bones
:
and
last
of
all
lighting
vpon
this
verse
,
Felapton
,
Disamis
,
Datisi
,
Brocardo
,
Ferison
,
He
expounded
,
that
Caesar
said
to
Philip
Anthonie
and
the
rest
of
his
friends
;
stabbe
,
and
thrust
me
these
men
through
with
your
swordes
.
Was
not
this
of
Martinello
of
Villafranca
,
an
apparant
cockscombrie
,
who
making
the
superscription
of
a
letter
that
went
to
his
sonne
in
the
Vniuersitie
at
Bologna
,
writ
thus
:
To
the
deuine
spirite
of
my
sonne
Andrew
Scarpaccia
,
who
frequenteth
the
lectures
of
the
greatest
Phisition
in
all
Bologna
,
who
in
three
yeeres
will
become
an
other
Falopia
,
if
God
of
his
grace
preserue
him
liuing
:
with
this
direction
vnderneath
:
In
Bologna
neere
to
asses
tower
in
a
womans
house
that
letteth
chambers
by
the
moneth
.
These
therefore
bee
doltes
and
naturals
,
and
for
the
same
cause
are
recommended
to
god
Fatuello
,
partaker
and
defender
with
drawen
sworde
of
such
like
people
;
wherefore
hauing
the
image
of
such
a
like
God
vpon
the
dore
of
their
cell
,
it
is
requisite
that
with
this
inuocation
following
,
we
reuerence
and
call
vpon
his
name
.
An
inuocation
to
God
Fatuello
,
for
lourdish
and
naturall
Fooles
.
MAy
it
please
thee
great
monarch
of
naturalles
,
the
true
ghost
and
spirite
of
all
fantasticks
,
by
the
resonance
of
thy
name
,
conformable
to
these
fooles
,
with
thy
genius
in
like
manner
to
fauour
this
blockish
bande
of
naturals
,
in
all
humility
hauing
recourse
to
thee
,
and
by
that
Temple
which
thou
hast
in
Valcamonica
,
where
so
many
lobbes
meerely
depende
on
thy
dominion
and
empire
;
these
men
beseech
thee
that
though
in
name
thou
beest
but
a
foole
,
yet
in
their
actions
doe
not
so
shew
thy selfe
and
power
:
and
thus
doing
before
thy
image
,
they
wil
immolate
some
famous
niddicocke
which
shall
be
a
true
signe
,
that
by
thy
grace
and
fauour
they
are
now
no
longer
fooles
.
Now
this
is
the
rewarde
thou
shalt
haue
if
thou
beest
readie
and
athand
with
thy
succour
.
Of
vicicious
Fooles
:
the
twelfth
discourse
.
THere
bee
in
the
worlde
certaine
fooles
,
who
togither
with
the
deminution
of
braine
,
and
losse
of
witte
,
retaine
in
them
certaine
vices
,
which
seeme
sometimes
to
proceede
from
a
kinde
of
dexteritie
in
them
;
but
in
truth
they
are
rather
deriued
from
the
defect
of
a
witte
corrupt
,
and
depraued
,
then
any
thing
else
;
in
this
maner
,
like
mules
kicking
at
euery
one
that
commeth
neere
them
,
through
the
malignant
nature
and
condition
they
haue
:
And
these
kinde
of
men
we
thought
good
to
terme
by
the
name
of
vitious
fooles
,
for
that
a
fitter
or
more
conformable
word
cannot
be
found
out
,
to
impose
vpon
them
.
Some
man
peraduenture
may
thinke
that
one
Cippius
,
named
by
Lucilius
,
may
well
be
placed
amongst
vicious
Signor
a
lei
volete
bene
adio
?
Ladie
will
itplease
you
my
heate
to
coole
?
Signor
nò
,
perche
sete
vn
Sier
Matthio
:
No
sir
,
said
she
,
bicause
you
seeme
but
a
foole
:
then
he
replied
;
Lasciatemi
adungue
fare
il
fatto
mio
:
Let
me
yet
furbish
you
with
my
toole
.
Of
an
other
vicious
foole
this
pranke
is
reported
;
that
one
day
in
the
market
place
he
got
vp
vpon
a
butchers
stall
,
and
gathering
about
him
a
goodly
audience
,
hee
began
to
crie
out
,
that
al
men
might
come
and
heare
him
:
wherefore
the
people
being
assembled
togither
he
said
;
Imagine
that
I
am
the
great
beast
which
calleth
a
counsell
of
the
other
lesser
;
for
my
part
I
will
goe
breake
my
faste
,
goe
you
and
hang
your selues
if
you
will
:
and
thus
hee
deluded
the
people
,
departing
with
laughter
and
scorne
to
euery
one
.
This
man
was
much
like
to
an
other
,
who
at
a
time
of
solemne
councell
,
about
a
treatie
of
certaine
publike
affaires
,
entred
into
the
counsell
chamber
,
and
cried
out
aloud
:
I
giue
my
verdite
that
euery
one
of
you
be
dawcockes
.
And
one
Norandino
of
Sauignano
was
not
much
vnlike
these
,
being
a
most
vitious
foole
,
who
at
a
time
,
when
a
great
disputation
was
helde
in
the
citie
of
Cesena
,
neere
to
that
towne
,
and
passing
by
chance
through
the
place
where
all
the
disputants
were
gathered
togither
,
making
roume
amongst
them
all
with
a
good
quarter
staffe
,
he
spake
with
a
loud
voice
:
I
hold
this
conclusion
,
that
Sauignano
is
not
distant
from
Cesena
aboue
ten
miles
;
and
next
I
maintaine
this
other
,
that
Sauignano
is
male
,
and
Cesena
is
female
;
as
also
i
le
stand
to
this
,
that
more
people
will
giue
eare
to
me
,
which
am
but
a
Foole
,
then
to
you
,
who
would
appeare
to
be
wise
:
And
last
of
all
,
I
will
affirme
,
and
prooue
this
other
,
that
if
euer
a
wiseman
went
thorough
Cesena
,
I
should
not
be
a
foole
my selfe
.
These
of
this
kinde
therefore
are
called
vicious
fooles
,
and
within
the
Hospitall
they
enioy
a
cell
which
hath
hanging
without
,
the
image
of
the
goddesse
Themis
,
vpon
whom
,
as
their
protectrix
in
this
vnder
supplication
we
will
call
for
helpe
.
A
supplication
to
goddesse
Themis
for
vicious
Fooles
.
O
Great
daughter
of
heauen
and
earth
,
so
woonderfully
beloued
of
Iupiter
,
as
thou
art
desirous
of
his
loue
,
be
not
niggardly
of
thy
help
to
those
,
who
being
fooles
and
vicious
,
seeke
at
the
handes
of
Themis
,
the
goddesse
of
reasonable
demaunds
,
that
which
is
requisite
for
them
to
request
and
sue
for
:
They
demaunde
therefore
this
iust
and
lawfull
sute
;
that
of
Heauen
thy
father
thou
wouldest
obtaine
wit
for
their
vnderstanding
and
vertue
for
their
mindes
,
for
if
by
thy
grace
and
fauour
they
shall
be
deliuered
from
such
a
defect
;
in
thy
temple
so
much
honored
by
the
Boëtians
neere
the
riuer
Celisus
,
thou
shalt
see
offred
vnto
thee
a
Spanish
mule
,
which
will
be
an
euident
signe
of
the
great
victorie
and
triumph
thou
shalt
obtaine
by
such
a
deliuerie
.
Of
malicious
and
despightfull
fooles
:
the
thirteenth
discourse
.
SOme
men
there
be
,
that
inwardly
haue
inserted
in
them
such
a
spirit
,
as
if
they
happen
at
any
time
to
be
offended
or
iniuried
by
anie
one
,
with
a
foolish
wilfulnes
at
one
instant
,
they
begin
to
contend
with
him
;
and
as
of
the
offenders
side
,
iniuries
and
offences
multiply
,
so
likewise
togither
with
hatred
,
doe
continuall
rancors
and
despightes
encrease
on
their
part
:
so
as
the
matter
commeth
to
this
passe
,
that
brutishly
thus
hammering
and
boiling
in
their
mindes
,
they
obtaine
the
name
of
malitious
and
despightfull
fooles
.
Amongst
auncient
examples
,
that
peraduenture
of
Cleomedes
Astipalensis
a
man
of
mightie
strength
,
named
by
Plutarke
,
may
well
be
placed
;
who
being
defrauded
of
a
certaine
rewarde
quoy
quanquam
,
is
of
all
men
crowned
,
or
such
a
kinde
of
peeuish
Poul-iobham
,
that
for
the
biting
of
a
flea
,
could
finde
in
his
hart
to
kill
the
whole
world
,
&
when
he
is
in
his
spleene
&
sir
Iohn
Chimneis
humor
,
he
feares
not
all
the
great
ordinance
of
the
Tower
;
for
enuie
and
despight
take
away
from
him
all
foresight
,
of
the
danger
and
blow
that
hangeth
ouer
the
head
of
his
furie
.
Wherefore
,
to
this
our
purpose
,
it
is
reported
of
him
,
that
on
a
time
another
calling
him
,
head
of
a
base
violl
,
he
was
through
this
word
mooued
to
such
choler
,
that
he
reached
him
such
a
blow
,
which
missing
him
,
&
lighting
vpon
a
pillar
by
,
broke
all
this
Fooles
owne
hand
&
arme
;
and
when
he
cleerly
saw
the
dammage
which
redounded
to
himselfe
,
entring
into
greater
furie
then
before
,
he
threw
a
flinte-stone
to
haue
hit
him
on
the
head
,
which
lighting
against
the
wall
,
and
recoyling
backe
,
tooke
himselfe
on
the
breast
,
so
that
raging
presently
with
double
furie
and
madnes
,
he
went
to
runne
his
head
against
the
other
mans
belly
,
who
drawing
back
,
he
ran
his
owne
head
against
the
wal
,
&
broke
it
all
ouer
:
and
last
of
all
,
hauing
no
otherthing
wherewith
to
shew
his
spleene
,
hee
indiscreetly
out
of
his
stomacke
powers
a
belch
in
his
face
,
saying
:
Goe
to
,
take
this
,
seeing
I
can
in
no
other
sort
reuenge
my self
.
Christoforo
of
Crispino
was
a
notable
wayward
,
and
despitefull
Foole
,
who
because
on
a
time
another
said
vnto
him
(
he
being
of
rude
and
homely
aspect
)
you
are
a
welfauoured
yoong
man
;
abhorring
this
mans
ironicall
speech
,
hee
threw
a
cheese
at
his
breast
,
and
because
he
tooke
vp
the
cheese
&
carried
it
away
to
eat
,
he
sent
after
him
a
knife
which
he
had
;
but
he
taking
vp
the
knife
also
to
serue
his
turne
to
cut
the
cheese
withal
,
being
neer
to
a
bakers
shop
,
the
other
tooke
vp
as
much
bread
as
hee
could
in
his
hand
and
threw
it
at
him
;
the
which
in
like
manner
he
taking
vp
to
serue
him
to
eate
his
cheese
withall
,
the
other
would
last
of
all
haue
throwen
an
emptie
cup
without
wine
at
him
,
which
was
readie
at
hand
:
but
hee
saying
vnto
him
:
nay
gentle
brother
,
but
fill
it
with
wine
,
and
then
send
it
after
mee
in
gods
name
.
With
these
words
he
grew
into
such
a
furie
,
as
running
to
a
fountaine
neere
hand
,
he
would
needes
haue
cast
it
full
of
water
at
him
:
but
this
man
smiling
,
and
flying
away
like
a
trecherous
Parthian
,
or
snearing
companion
,
said
:
I
will
haue
the
knife
,
the
bread
and
the
cheese
,
and
let
the
cup
and
the
water
remaine
with
thee
,
for
we
are
now
share
and
share
like
:
and
thus
did
he
delude
the
last
blow
of
this
despitefull
Foole
,
who
in
the
end
perceiued
that
he
was
exceedingly
derided
for
his
foolish
enterpise
.
A
more
famous
example
of
malitious
Folly
cannot
be
produced
,
then
that
which
diuine
Ariosto
setteth
downe
in
peruerse
and
wicked
Gabrina
,
especially
in
that
Stanza
,
which
beginneth
thus
:
Hearke
thou
(
said
she
)
that
art
so
stoute
,
and
fell
,
As
thou
contem'st
,
and
mak'st
a
scorne
of
me
,
For
if
thou
knew'st
what
newes
I
could
thee
tell
Of
her
,
whom
dead
,
thou
dost
bemoane
I
see
:
Then
would'st
thou
me
behold
with
merrie
glee
,
But
rather
then
I
will
the
same
declare
,
Thou
shalt
me
into
mammocks
pull
and
tare
.
For
the
cursed
olde
wretch
,
with
all
furious
despite
,
sought
to
wreake
her selfe
,
on
miserable
Zerbino
,
not
imparting
to
his
lamentable
Fortune
one
onely
sparke
of
pitie
or
commiseration
,
like
a
diuelish
and
impious
witch
,
as
no
question
she
was
.
These
kinde
of
men
are
therefore
deseruedly
called
,
despitefull
,
or
malitious
Fooles
;
and
in
the
Hospitall
they
haue
a
Cell
,
which
hath
the
goddesse
Nemesis
hanging
out
for
a
signe
,
to
whom
in
this
their
so
great
need
,
let
vs
haue
recourse
,
it
being
that
goddesse
,
who
commonly
hath
care
of
this
kinde
of
Fooles
.
A
petition
to
goddesse
Nemesis
,
for
despitefull
and
malitious
Fooles
.
WIth
all
zeale
possible
,
and
as
great
vehemencie
as
may
be
graunted
vnto
vs
,
we
implore
thy
greatest
fauour
and
helpe
,
O
thou
sacred
goddesse
,
by
the
ancients
termed
Rhamnusia
,
because
in
Rhamnunte
a
citie
of
Asia
thy
image
is
seene
,
made
by
the
hand
of
Phidias
,
hauing
recourse
vnto
thee
,
because
we
know
there
is
no
better
remedie
for
these
despitefull
Fooles
,
then
the
assistance
and
ayde
of
that
goddesse
,
who
punishing
and
chastising
the
wicked
and
offenders
,
is
worthily
held
for
the
curer
of
these
Fooles
wounds
:
wherefore
if
we
obtaine
that
succour
,
which
from
so
iust
a
goddesse
we
may
well
hope
for
,
be
assured
that
thankful
for
thy
fauors
,
we
will
offer
in
the
Temple
of
Adrastus
consecrated
to
thee
,
an
hand-flasket
of
skalions
and
garlicke
,
and
all
of
vs
will
salute
the
name
of
Adrastia
,
belching
foorth
all
despightfull
sauours
,
euident
arguments
of
the
recouerie
procured
to
these
men
,
in
whose
behalfe
,
we
direct
vnto
thee
this
present
inuocation
;
heale
them
therefore
,
and
peace
remaine
with
thee
.
Of
ridiculous
Fooles
:
the
fourteenth
discourse
.
THere
be
some
fooles
,
who
day
by
day
perform
things
so
strange
,
fantastical
,
&
vnusuall
,
that
partly
for
the
raritie
of
them
,
and
partly
for
their
excesse
therein
,
make
anie
one
laugh
that
seeth
or
giueth
any
eare
vnto
them
:
and
heereupon
it
is
,
that
all
men
call
them
ridiculous
fooles
,
hauing
a
name
conformable
to
the
actions
and
deeds
they
euerie
day
performe
.
Iustine
the
Historiographer
,
among
the
ridiculous
follies
of
Sardanapalus
,
setteth
downe
this
for
one
,
that
he
being
aboue
measure
delighted
in
womanlike
effeminacies
,
apparelled
himselfe
sometimes
in
feminine
habite
,
and
so
intruding
amongst
the
girles
and
yoong
wenches
,
hee
vsed
the
rocke
and
spindell
as
they
did
,
performing
all
those
things
which
women
are
accustomed
to
practise
.
Homers
folly
also
is
recounted
among
parts
ridiculous
;
for
it
is
reported
of
him
,
that
he
woulde
miserablie
haue
strangled
himselfe
for
this
occasion
only
,
bicause
he
could
not
dissolue
an
aenigma
or
doubtfull
question
,
the
which
by
channce
was
propounded
vnto
him
by
certaine
sailers
or
marriners
.
This
other
of
the
Poet
Philemon
is
verie
excellent
,
who
(
as
Valerius
Maximus
declareth
)
seeing
an
asse
Iohn
Rauisius
Textor
putteth
A
petition
to
god
Risus
for
ridiculous
Fooles
.
I
Can
not
but
with
great
gigling
and
laughter
turne
my selfe
vnto
thee
,
O
thou
sonne
of
Iupiter
,
or
Bacchus
,
friend
to
all
Sycophants
,
constant
affectionate
to
drunkards
,
enemie
to
all
molestation
,
more
then
to
contagion
or
sicknes
,
nourished
by
Venus
,
brought
vp
by
Cupid
,
&
maintained
at
the
charges
of
goddesse
Flora
,
a
braue
fellow
for
thy
life
,
a
good
companion
for
thy
wit
,
a
mercenarie
aduocate
for
the
time
,
and
with
olde
Democritus
in
behalfe
of
these
men
,
make
vnto
thy selfe
a
loude
squeaking
laughter
,
like
them
,
the
tinckling
of
frying
pannes
make
in
Saint
Markes
place
:
for
if
it
were
not
thou
that
gauest
helpe
and
nourishment
to
these
ridiculous
fooles
,
all
the
whole
Hospitall
woulde
be
but
in
a
miserable
plight
;
neither
woulde
any
thing
but
sadnes
and
melancholie
bee
discerned
ouer
all
:
but
these
men
by
thy
fauour
doing
their
indeuour
,
do
yet
make
their
followers
merrie
,
and
remooue
from
their
mindes
that
discontentment
,
which
they
receiue
from
humours
phreneticall
,
delirant
,
melancholike
,
and
sauage
,
and
other
such
like
vnto
these
:
wherefore
many
men
are
not
a
little
bound
vnto
thee
,
in
perceiuing
by
thy
meanes
,
their
harts
exhilarated
,
and
mindes
replenished
with
exceeding
alacritie
,
the
which
fauour
and
grace
if
thou
continuest
,
as
in
these
particular
sort
of
fooles
,
we
desire
thou
shouldest
,
bee
sure
that
in
thy
temple
thou
shalt
heare
more
prodigious
laughters
,
then
euer
were
heard
at
any
of
Heliogabalus
,
or
Commodus
their
banquets
:
And
all
this
shall
be
done
to
please
thee
,
who
art
the
occasion
of
all
laughter
.
Of
ostenting
and
vaine
glorious
Fooles
:
the
fifteenth
discourse
.
THe
greatest
number
of
fooles
that
wee
finde
,
may
peraduenture
be
these
whereof
at
this
present
wee
discoursing
,
make
cleere
and
glorious
mention
of
the
same
to
the
worlde
,
and
by
this
glorious
title
or
imposition
,
we
terme
them
vainglorious
or
ostenting
fooles
:
for
they
loue
nothing
more
,
contend
earnestly
after
no
other
matter
,
nor
with
greater
care
and
anxietie
couet
or
desire
any
thing
more
then
the
glorie
of
the
worlde
,
whereof
they
are
so
greedie
and
desirous
,
as
couetous
men
of
gold
,
Beares
of
honie
,
&
bees
of
flowers
;
it
being
the
breakfast
,
dinner
,
and
dissert
of
all
their
operations
:
and
by
the
reason
of
this
grosse
matter
they
haue
in
their
heads
,
their
wits
cannot
enter
into
the
sayings
of
the
wise
,
denounced
against
them
:
as
that
of
Aristotle
,
who
in
the
bookes
of
his
secrets
to
Alexander
,
saith
,
that
Nulla
tanta
fortitudo
est
,
vt
superbiae
pondus
Th'
Aruenians
that
themselues
durst
brothers
faine
To
Latians
,
that
of
Troiane
race
remaine
.
And
like
vnto
these
was
one
Murrhanus
,
not
hee
that
makes
oile
iarres
,
but
an
other
,
of
whom
Virgill
speaketh
in
the
twelfth
of
his
Aeneides
saying
:
Murrhanus
who
with
loftie
words
sets
foorth
Among
other
examples
of
glorious
fooles
,
auncient
writers
place
this
of
Misenus
Aeneas
his
trumpetter
,
who
held
himselfe
so
singular
in
that
profession
,
as
that
he
durst
challenge
the
maryne
goddes
or
Tritones
,
to
sound
with
him
:
as
also
those
of
Martia
,
who
prouoked
Apollo
to
the
selfe
same
conflict
:
Thamir
is
a
Thracian
,
who
was
so
bolde
as
to
thrust
herselfe
in
amongst
the
Muses
to
sing
;
and
togither
with
these
that
of
Araene
,
who
woulde
needes
contend
with
Minerua
for
weauing
of
wooll
:
but
last
of
all
that
of
Cassiope
daughter
to
Cepheus
,
who
woulde
be
preferred
before
the
Nereides
:
as
likewise
Niobe
woulde
haue
beene
before
Latona
,
Antigona
the
daughter
of
Laomedon
,
before
Iuno
;
and
Lychion
Deucalions
daughter
before
Diana
:
and
in
truth
the
tribe
of
glorious
,
&
many-asses
is
greater
then
the
rest
,
bicause
in
all
times
wee
haue
seene
triall
,
that
the
braine
hath
boiled
more
on
this
,
then
any
other
side
:
what
shal
we
say
of
that
inhumaine
Remulus
,
who
attributing
too
much
vnto
himselfe
,
and
ouer
highly
pleased
in
his
owne
valour
,
condemned
the
Troians
besieged
in
Italy
,
of
effeminacie
and
cowardize
,
Virgill
relating
these
proud
wordes
of
him
:
Before
them
all
,
most
sturdie
he
and
proud
Went
thundring
out
,
vnwoorthy
words
alwaies
Vaunting
himselfe
,
with
clamors
,
shrill
and
loud
:
What
may
be
thought
of
that
Martus
,
one
of
the
basest
crewe
of
the
Boëtian
people
,
who
was
so
bolde
as
to
make
himselfe
a
god
?
What
of
Appion
the
grammarian
,
who
vndoubtedly
promised
him
immortality
,
to
whom
he
did
but
dedicate
any
of
his
workes
?
Menecrates
the
physicion
also
,
was
beyond
all
measure
glorious
,
who
was
neuer
woont
to
take
any
reward
for
such
patients
as
he
cured
,
but
requested
this
onely
at
their
handes
,
that
they
woulde
call
themselues
his
humble
seruants
,
and
terme
him
an
other
Iupiter
:
Nestorius
the
heretcike
was
also
one
of
this
number
,
for
in
an
oration
that
he
made
to
the
people
of
Constantinople
,
he
soothed
himselfe
so
greatly
,
that
the
next
day
following
hee
promised
heauen
to
euery
one
of
them
:
And
Rhemnius
Palemon
the
grammarian
or
Pedant
,
is
not
farre
different
from
these
,
he
being
woont
to
glorie
,
that
learning
was
borne
and
came
into
the
worlde
with
him
,
as
also
with
him
it
was
like
to
perish
.
But
why
do
I
passe
ouer
Paulus
Samosatenus
,
who
went
through
the
market
places
,
streetes
,
and
high-waies
,
vaunting
publikely
of
his
learning
,
and
caused
whatsoeuer
came
first
into
his
mouth
to
bee
set
downe
in
writing
by
certaine
registers
?
As
also
why
do
I
conceale
the
Emperour
Domitian
,
who
delighted
in
nothing
more
then
this
,
to
be
called
a
great
Lord
,
and
God
?
wherfore
Eusebius
saith
,
Domitian
first
commanded
that
himselfe
should
be
called
a
Lord
and
God
;
and
a
certaine
flattering
Poet
made
of
him
these
verses
:
The
Edict
of
our
Lord
and
God
,
Which
doth
alliudgements
ratifie
.
And
to
what
ende
omit
I
the
Prince
Caius
Caesar
,
who
made
an
Edict
,
that
hee
might
be
numbred
among
the
gods
,
and
that
Statues
should
bee
erected
vnto
him
in
the
name
of
the
greatest
Iupiter
?
Neither
will
I
forget
Themison
Cyprian
,
who
would
needs
be
called
Hercules
,
haue
incense
offered
vnto
him
,
&
be
celebrated
with
diuine
prayses
like
vnto
him
.
And
what
shall
I
further
say
of
Nero
,
who
greedie
of
eternall
fame
,
would
in
any
wise
haue
the
moneth
of
Aprill
called
Neronea
,
and
ordayned
(
as
Suetonius
writeth
)
that
the
citie
of
Rome
should
be
called
Nerapolis
?
Alexander
Macedon
in
Iupiter
Hammon
.
Salomoneus
made
many
fictions
of
celestiall
thunder
and
lightning
by
meane
of
Mathematicall
discipline
,
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
obtaine
the
title
of
a
god
.
Varro
Pergeus
corrupted
by
flatterers
wordes
was
easily
perswaded
,
that
himselfe
was
the
goodliest
man
in
the
world
,
and
that
hee
sung
more
diuinely
and
sweetly
then
the
Muses
themselues
.
Hanno
the
Carthaginian
was
accustomed
to
take
birds
,
whom
he
taught
to
pronounce
these
words
,
Hanno
is
a
god
.
Sellus
was
a
certaine
poore
vaine
glorious
Dolt
,
who
concealed
his
owne
pouertie
,
as
much
as
was
possible
,
extremely
desiring
for
a
worldly
glorie
,
to
be
reputed
rich
.
Herostratus
a
vaine
glorious
Foole
in
conceit
(
by
report
of
Aulus
Gellius
)
burnt
all
the
Temple
of
Diana
Ephesian
,
onely
to
obtaine
an
immortall
fame
in
the
world
for
the
same
:
and
to
conclude
,
Empedocles
Agrigentine
being
a
Foole
,
one
degree
aboue
all
others
,
threw
himselfe
headlong
into
the
flames
of
mount
Aetna
,
to
the
end
that
men
might
vndoubtedly
thinke
,
how
he
was
flowen
vp
into
heauen
.
In
our
daies
also
this
number
of
Fooles
is
so
augmented
,
as
there
is
no
place
so
little
,
wherein
a
great
companie
of
them
may
not
be
seene
.
Out
of
all
doubt
the
example
of
that
vaine
glorious
Tuscane
like
another
Thraso
in
these
our
daies
is
A
supplication
to
goddesse
Iuno
,
for
vaine-glorious
Fooles
.
O
Thou
greatest
of
the
Goddesses
,
Queen
of
heauen
,
sister
and
play-fellow
to

Iupiter
,
amongst
all

most
glorious

euen
as
the
sunne
is
of
greatest
glorie
among
the
planets
,
haue
that
care
I
beseech
thee
of
these
vain
glorious

as
standeth
fittest

:
And
once
againe
I
entreate
thee
by
these
glorious
impositions
and
titles
,
first
of
Saturnia

bicause
thou
wert
the

of
Saturnus

in

are
to
thee
recommended
,
and
vnder
the

of
thy

preserued

Thou
art
yet
further
that
Opigena
,
who
assistest
women

:
that
Februale

or
Februata
,
which
by
monethly
issue
purgest
feminine
sex
;
that
Fluonia
,
who
hast
power
to
restraine
the
menstruous
bloud
of
women
,
while
they
conceiue
:
wherefore
among
so
many
helpes
adioined
to
thy

,
assist
also
these
vaine
fooles
:
be
vnto
them
with
thy

so
propitious
;
as
besides
the
goodly
church
which
thou
hast
in
the
Lacinian
promontorie
,
by
meane
whereof
thou
art
called
Lacinia
;
besides
the
chappell
which
thou
hast
in
a
citie
of
the
Argiues
called
Prosymna
,
and
whereupon
they
terme
thee
Prosymnia
;
and
besides
the
aulter
which
the
Hetruscians
made
vnto
thee
in
the
Marquisate
of
Ancona
,
through
which
thou
art
called
Cupra
;
thou
maiest
also
see
in
this
Hospitall
a
temple
erected
to
thy
name
,
by
meane
of
which
thou
maist
also
be
Hospitalaria

in
a
manner
conuenient
,
that
these
whom
we
call
Parasiticall
or
counterfeit
Fooles
,
should
haue
place
in
the
Hospitall
of
our
Incurables
,
in
that
they
not
being
really
Foolish
in
minde
,
as
the
others
are
,
haue
little
to
doe
in
this
assembly
,
but
it
seemeth
that
they
should
rather
be
placed
in
the
number
of
the
wise
,
sage
Cato
affirming
that
,
Stultitiam
simulare
loco
,
prudentia
summa
est
.
To
play
the
Foole
in
time
and
place
is
greatest
wisedome
sure
.
And
hereupon
commeth
it
that
so
much
is
attributed
to
the
wisedome
of
Meson
the
Astrologer
,
who
foreseeing
the
future
calamitie
which
was
like
to
light
on
his
countreymen
the
Athenians
in
an
expedition
they
vndertooke
against
the
Sicilians
,
fayned
himselfe
to
be
a
Foole
,
for
that
he
would
not
be
present
with
them
at
so
great
an
ouerthrowe
.
As
also
in
like
manner
wee
read
of
Vlysses
,
who
because
he
would
not
haue
gone
to
the
Troian
warre
,
he
sowed
salt
like
a
natutall
Foole
,
and
yoaking
togither
diuers
and
sundry
beasts
to
the
plowe
,
he
made
all
men
woonder
at
his
sudden
madnes
,
but
onely
Palamedes
,
who
discouered
him
by
laying
his
yoong
sonne
amongst
the
furrowes
,
whom
the
subtile
Greeke
prudently
shunning
,
he
by
this
act
manifested
that
he
was
well
in
his
wits
,
and
no
Foole
at
all
.
But
because
there
be
some
that
otherwhiles
play
the
Fooles
in
iest
,
with
that
little
folly
they
haue
in
their
heads
,
it
being
a
manifest
signe
of
folly
,
to
play
the
Foole
for
no
purpose
at
all
,
to
giue
other
men
contentment
,
by
such
men
I
say
,
we
onely
meane
it
,
when
in
this
our
Hospital
we
place
Parasiticall
or
counterfeit
Fooles
.
And
there
is
no
doubt
but
that
amongst
these
men
,
we
may
well
reckon
that
Gallus
Vibius
named
by
Caelius
,
in
the
sixt
booke
of
his
ancient
lectures
the
fiue
and
thirtie
chapter
,
who
many
times
fayning
himselfe
to
be
a
Foole
,
and
iesting
in
this
manner
,
at
last
he
came
to
be
so
in
good
earnest
,
growing
a
starcke
naturall
Foole
,
to
the
ende
that
whereas
he
scoffed
and
deluded
others
,
for
chastisement
of
his
folly
,
he
might
at
last
remaine
derided
and
flouted
himself
.
In
our
daies
one
Garbinello
hath
a
notable
grace
in
playing
of
the
foole
,
who
as
in
representing
a
poore
Padoan
countrey
man
,
a
Magnifico
,
or
some
doddipoule
Doctor
Gratian
he
hath
no
fellow
;
so
in
this
other
kind
of
dissimulation
,
exceedeth
he
all
others
,
for
whosoeuer
heareth
or
seeth
him
,
by
actions
,
gestures
,
and
words
,
iudgeth
him
to
bee
no
other
then
a
naturall
Foole
.
In
this
point
Pedretto
of
Moiano
one
like
the
other
,
shewed
himselfe
a
gallant
fellow
:
for
when
the
Venetian
Signiors
,
vpon
important
occasions
,
pressing
ordinarie
galleots
or
saylers
in
their
state
,
would
also
haue
commaunded
this
man
to
goe
,
although
he
shunned
not
to
be
in
the
galleies
with
many
others
,
yet
to
giue
some
recreation
to
certaine
gentlemen
his
friends
,
with
whom
he
had
compacted
,
he
appeared
one
day
apparelled
after
the
saylers
fashion
with
a
chaine
at
his
leg
before
the
Captaine
of
these
companies
,
and
with
an
oare
in
his
hand
hee
began
a
little
of
himselfe
to
rowe
and
sing
at
the
oares
as
they
doe
,
and
afterwards
taking
the
whistle
in
his
hand
which
they
vse
in
galleies
,
he
made
an
excellent
call
therewith
as
could
bee
deuised
:
after
this
hauing
a
sacke
full
of
bisket
before
him
,
hee
began
to
distribute
it
amongst
the
companie
,
and
carried
the
Captaine
a
great
peece
of
it
,
saying
how
that
,
and
an
head
of
Garlicke
,
made
a
gossips
feast
a
ship-boord
:
and
at
last
taking
a
Turkish
cymitar
,
and
drawing
it
amongst
the
companie
,
he
began
to
crie
out
allai
,
allai
maumeth
russelai
,
which
importeth
as
much
,
as
God
and
great
Mahumet
,
and
began
to
flourish
therewith
against
the
winde
;
sometimes
striking
here
,
sometimes
there
,
while
at
the
last
all
sweatie
,
and
wearie
,
euerie
one
beholding
him
,
hee
fell
downe
as
dead
,
wrapping
himselfe
in
a
marriners
rug
,
and
calling
a
notarie
to
set
downe
his
last
will
and
testament
,
wherein
leauing
some
thing
to
euerie
one
,
he
said
,
that
he
bequeathed
to
the
Captaine
of
the
companie
a
great
lubber
and
knaue
to
be
buried
,
and
that
being
a
marriner
,
he
would
be
enterred
in
no
other
place
,
then
in
the
gallie-pumpe
,
because
that
was
the
most
conuenient
graue
for
his
knaueship
;
and
while
(
he
dissembling
himselfe
to
be
dead
)
they
would
haue
carried
him
away
,
he
leaps
me
vp
of
a
sudden
,
and
said
to
the
Captaine
:
Signior
Captaine
,
I
assure
you
,
that
among
all
the
saylers
you
haue
pressed
,
there
is
not
a
woorser
then
my selfe
,
wherfore
dismisse
me
at
this
time
(
for
Gods
sake
)
if
you
will
not
haue
your
galleie
to
carrie
the
woorst
name
of
any
that
belongeth
to
the
Signioria
;
for
which
cause
the
Captaine
smiling
,
and
taking
great
pleasure
in
this
conceit
,
hee
was
for
this
time
content
to
remit
him
,
seeing
he
had
counterfeited
the
Foole
so
cunningly
,
and
gaue
him
moreouer
a
mocenigo
,
or
peece
of
golde
A
supplication
to
god
Mercurie
,
for
parasiticall
and
counterfeit
Fooles
.
LOoke
what
helpe
is
to
be
looked
for
,
from
the
sonne
of
Iupiter
and
Cyllena
,
is
expected
from
thee
concerning
these
Fooles
,
O
thou
great
interpreter
of
the
gods
,
because
these
be
properly
they
that
conforme
themselues
so
iumpe
with
thy
genius
and
humour
,
as
that
they
seeme
to
all
the
world
thy
coosen
germaines
.
These
(
as
thou
seest
)
be
dissemblers
,
and
thy selfe
the
god
of
deceit
,
being
he
who
with
such
notable
cosenage
did'st
steale
away
Apollo
his
kine
,
from
Argos
their
heardsman
.
But
if
this
suffice
not
to
mooue
thee
,
why
then
by
the
famous
and
honourable
titles
which
thou
obtainest
of
Poets
,
&
first
of
Hermetes
,
that
is
expounder
of
words
,
of
Camillus
that
is
a
seruant
or
nuntio
,
thou
being
highest
Iupiter
his
messenger
,
of
Alipedes
,
for
the
wings
thou
hast
at
thy
legs
as
the
celestiall
Purseuant
of
Manigena
,
for
that
thou
wert
borne
of
Maia
the
daughter
of
Athlantes
,
of
Arcades
,
because
thou
wert
brought
forth
in
Arcadia
,
of
Cyllenius
,
in
that
thou
wert
borne
on
mount
Cyllena
,
of
Lygius
,
Agryphon
,
and
Nomius
;
all
of
them
with
vehement
intreaties
beseech
thee
,
to
haue
that
care
of
them
,
which
to
so
great
a
God
appertayneth
,
&
seemeth
but
correspondent
to
so
feruent
&
effectuall
recommendations
.
And
the
more
to
prouoke
thee
to
this
charitable
enterprise
,
they
set
before
thy
eies
so
many
of
thy
performed
honorable
actions
,
as
to
haue
beene
the
inuentor
of
the
Harpe
,
of

,
of
merchandize
,
and
of
Rhetoricke
;
to
haue
first
instructed
the
Aegyptians
in
good
letters
;
freed
Mars
out
of
prison
,
and
bound
Prometheus
in
mount
Caucasus
,
causing
him
to
be
torne
into
mammocks
by
vultures
:
and
they
beseech
thee
by
these
famous
former
exploites
,
that
it
would
please
thee
to
adde
thereunto
the
wise
and
valiant
defence
of
this
kind
of
fooles
:
The
which
if
thou
shalt
execute
,
expect
without
any
delay
,
before
thy
image
in
the
Temple
of
the
Phenicians
,
the
oblation
of
a
Foxes
skinne
,
which
will
be
an

Of
lunaticall
and
Fooles
by
season
:
the
seuenteenth
discourse
.
THere
are
but
fewe
that
knowe
not
these
kinde
of
fooles
by
their
name
onely
,
whom
at
this
present
we
terme
lunaticall
or
fooles
by
season
,
who
bicause
they
are
not
continually
vexed
with
this
furie
but
onely
sometimes
,
and
with
certaine
intermission
,
haue
obtained
the
imposition
or
name
of
lunatickes
,
they
appeering
mutable
in
this
infirmitie
of
their
follie
like
the
moone
:
or
rather
bicause
this
kinde
of
madnes
is
proper
and
peculiar
to
those
,
that
are
borne
in
the
eclipse
;
or
else
in
that
in
the
waining
or
encrease
of
the
moone
,
and
according
to
the
diuers
alterations
of
it
,
this
infirmitie
somtimes
greatly
aboundeth
,
and
otherwhiles
also
hath
his
force
exceedingly
abated
.
Wherefore
Iulius
Firmicus
in
the
fourth
booke
of
his
Mathematickes
saith
;
Et
siluna
male
fuerit
Looke
on
that
whipper
Digennie
I
say
That
cals
her selfe
Diana
,
Vglie
,
deformed
foule
,
and
filthie
Like
a
rammish
goate
,
an
ape
or
a
monckey
:
And
beholding
else
where
a
certaine
appendant
,
hee
sung
of
him
these
verses
following
:
You
sir
,
who
teacheth
yoong
men
to
be
nought
,
Shall
be
for
a
Corydon
taken
and
thought
.
Among
these
lunatickes
we
may
also
put
Menegone
of
Olmo
,
who
thus
in
the
moones
waining
,
tottering
in
braine
,
went
vp
and
downe
the
ditches
to
gather
rootes
,
bringing
many
times
bundels
of
nettles
and
wilde
thistles
into
the
market
place
,
minding
to
fell
this
baggage
in
steede
of
holesome
rootes
;
sometimes
he
went
a
fishing
for
frogs
,
and
filled
a
trey
full
of
toades
,
which
he
knew
not
:
and
otherwhiles
also
playing
the
Tinker
,
hee
went
crying
vp
&
downe
the
countrie
all
blacke
as
a
cole
,
who
hath
any
candle-stickes
,
dishes
,
kettels
or
pans
to
mend
;
neither
was
he
like
a
tinker
in
any
thing
,
but
onely
the
smeare
,
and
collow
of
his
beard
,
with
a
greasie
sacke
on
his
shoulder
,
which
for
this
purpose
he
carried
about
with
him
.
These
be
therefore
those
kinde
of
lunatickes
wee
haue
hitherto
spoken
of
,
who
within
the
Hospitall
haue
hanging
out
before
the
dore
of
their
Cell
for
a
signe
,
the
goddesse
Hecate
,
whom
as
their
fauorite
,
according
to
our
accustomed
manner
,
wee
will
with
this
petition
vnder
written
salute
.
A

vouchsafe
cheerefully
to

Of
carpet
and
amorous
Fooles
:
the
eighteene
discourse
.
NOw
woulde
it
be
requisite
that
we
had
the
knowledge
and
practise
togither
of
as
many
amorous
accidents
,
as
haue
fallen
out
both
in
the
old
,
and
this
our
present
age
,
that
we
might
describe
with
conuenient
solemnitie
,
all
the
fopperies
of
louers
,
they
being
manifest
causes
of
a
thousand
other
follies
,
which
from
this
stock
as
from
their
beginning
,
drawing
their
originall
and
essence
,
cause
their
life
not
onely
to
appeere
,
but
really
and
in
effect
to
be
the
strangest
and
maddest
race
,
that
may
be
imagined
.
This
follie
seemeth
principally
to
be
rooted
,
in
thoughts
,
desires
,
conceites
,
resolutions
,
wordes
,
gestures
,
signes
,
and
actions
,
all
of
which
linking
themselues
togither
,
make
a
man
in
cases
of
loue
so
foolish
,
that
the
argument
heereof
exceedeth
any
other
subiect
I
haue
before
spoken
of
:
with
fonde
thoughts
the
foolish
louer
goeth
about
to
make
castles
in
the
aire
of
himselfe
,
imagining
daily
,
which
is
the
breefest
and
speediest
meane
to
accomplish
his
incontinencies
,
which
howerly
maketh
him
vnquiet
,
troubled
,
afflicted
in
minde
,
and
passionate
out
of
measure
.
From
hence
commeth
it
,
that
hee
ruminates
on
treasures
,
riches
,
states
,
dominions
,
empires
,
and
power
,
as
the
readiest
waies
whereby
to
compasse
the
thing
beloued
:
and
with
these
apprehensions
hee
ioineth
a
desire
of
Craesus
wealth
,
the
golde
of
Media
,
Caesars
power
,
and
the
Emperour
Commodus
his
meanes
:
and
heereupon
he
thinketh
on
incantations
,
witcheries
,
drugs
,
and
all
kinde
of
Magicke
practise
,
desiring
with
the
stone
Gyges
to
become
inuisible
,
or
the
herbe
Eliotropia
,
to
obtaine
the
secretes
of
Peter
of
Abano
,
or
those
of
Ciecco
d'Ascoli
,
or
the
other
of
Antonio
di
Fantis
to
knowe
how
to
put
in
practise
Salomons
keie
;
and
with
coniuration
to
commaund
spirits
:
of
one
side
he
striues
after
Alchimy
,
which
enriching
him
with
golde
and
siluer
enough
,
may
by
this
meanes
possesse
him
likewise
of
his
loue
;
on
the
other
side
he
betaketh
himselfe
to
deceitfull
Cabalistrie
,
which
by
vertue
of
vnknowne
names
,
can
dispose
of
his
mistres
,
to
his
owne
minde
:
and
thus
expatiating
amidst
a
thousand
imaginations
,
howe
to
finde
out
baudes
,
panders
,
seruants
,
brokeresses
,
or
some
olde
nurse
factoresse
,
to
write
letters
,
conceits
,
sonnets
,
madrigals
and
songs
;
to
sende
flowers
,
nosegaies
,
newe-yeeres
gifts
,
presents
,
and
bounties
,
and
to
set
downe
by
himselfe
in
effectuall
wordes
his
endured
amorous
seruitude
,
he
goeth
by
little
and
little
in
this
manner
,
extenuating
his
wit
,
and
consuming
his
iudgement
and
vnderstanding
in
these
fantasies
.
Amidst
these
his
foolish
desires
,
he
coueteth
to
be
a
flea
,
a
flie
,
or
an
ante
,
that
by
this
meanes
he
might
enter
into
the
chamber
of
his
beloued
:
he
contendeth
to
mine
vnder
the
earth
as
conies
do
;
for
the
self
same
effect
he
hungreth
after
al
kind
of
greatnes
,
beauty
,
parts
,
&
fauour
,
that
aboue
all
the
world
he
may
know
how
to
be
in
her
grace
,
and
(
which
is
worst
)
he
would
that
both
life
and
death
should
serue
his
turne
at
an
instant
.
In
conceite
he
frameth
amorous
deuises
,
wittie
and
excellent
embleames
,
sweete
and
smooth
falling
rythmes
,
sententious
censures
,
artificiall
sayings
,
ingenious
stratagemes
:
and
thus
hammereth
he
in
his
mind
both
night
and
day
,
about
whatsoeuer
he
thinketh
in
the
end
may
procure
him
any
assistance
;
with
resolution
he
determineth
to
attend
the
conclusion
,
and
to
be
firme
in
his
intentions
,
resoluing
with
himselfe
no
more
to
endure
,
nor
any
longer
to
suffer
torment
and
griefe
;
but
marke
what
he
saith
,
determineth
and
resolueth
;
for
by
and
by
he
affronteth
her
with
wordes
,
and
courteth
her
sometimes
bitterly
,
otherwhiles
sweetelie
,
and
then
in
mediocritie
:
with
his
gestures
hee
seeketh
to
mooue
her
to
compassion
,
crossing
his
armes
with
an
high-ho
,
and
if
he
be
cunning
in
his
motions
,
and
actions
,
hee
will
make
her
euen
readie
to
kill
herselfe
with
compassion
:
to
conclude
,
his
carriage
is
such
,
that
beastes
themselues
are
sometimes
wiser
and
more
prudent
then
one
of
these
amorous
fooles
:
for
an
onely
example
of
these
amorous
Fooles
Romain
Marke
Antonie
is
set
downe
,
who
besotted
with
the
loue
of
Cleopatra
Queene
of
Egypt
,
lost
for
her
onely
cause
both
his
empire
,
life
,
and
honour
.
That
of
Pyramis
and
Thisby
entangled
one
with
an
others
loue
,
can
not
be
concealed
,
who
one
for
the
other
miserablie
died
:
whereupon
Strozzapadre
in
these
verses
following
celebrateth
their
Of
Pyramis
and
Thesbie
,
example
we
may
make
,
Whom
cruell
death
vnto
himselfe
,
by
equall
means
did
take
:
And
Calentius
in
his
Epigrammes
writeth
of
them
:
Pyramis
and
Thisbies
loue
,
was
most
vnfained
sure
:
For
both
of
them
with
proper
hande
,
did
meeke
their
deathes
endure
.
The
example
also
of
Hercules
is
most
famous
,
who
Iuiled
in
the
affection
he
bore
to
Omphale
Queene
of
the
Lidians
,
he
was
brought
for
her
loue
to
apparell
himselfe
like
a
girle
,
and
spin
amongst
damosels
and
yoong
maides
as
a
woman
:
wherefore
in
the
Poet
Propertius
he
thus
debateth
with
himselfe
:
In
long
side
gowne
,
I
Lydian
webs
did
spinne
:
This
seruile
function
following
euery
day
,
My
breast
was
couered
with
a
partlet
thinne
:
And
with
these
hands
I
could
the
girle
well
play
.
And
euen
so
in
like
manner
is
that
of
Theban
Hemon
,
a
notable
example
,
who
for
loue
killed
himselfe
before
the
tombe
of
Antigona
,
the
daughter
of
Oedipus
and
Iocasta
:
as
also
that
of
Sappho
,
who
threw
herselfe
headlong
from
the
Leucadian
promontorie
for
Phaoes
sake
:
whereupon
Angelus
Politianus
in
his
Elegies
writeth
of
her
:
Sappho
Virago
,
who
in
death
did
oft
exclaime
,
Of
loue
:
both
honour
,
to
Leucadian
sea
and
blame
:
That
of
Phedra
who
hanged
her selfe
for
loue
of
Hippolitus
,
Ausonius
saying
of
her
,
I
haue
perswaded
what
I
can
,
trie
nowe
some
other
:
tell
me
whom
:
marrie
let
Silius
Italicus
saith
,
Deepe
wounded
Dido
stands
vpon
the
burning
pile
,
And
last
of
all
,
that
of
Phillides
daughter
to
Licurgus
,
king
of
Thrace
,
who
hanged
her selfe
vpon
a
beame
for
loue
of
Demophoon
sonne
to
Theseus
,
whose
death
is
by
Pamphilus
Sassus
described
in
these
verses
following
:
Phillis
to
me
,
of
death
,
a
noble
pattern
giues
,
Hangd
was
her
bodie
,
yet
her
liuing
fame
suruiues
.
Was
not
that
folly
of
Aristoteles
verie
great
,
who
offered
incense
to
a
concubine
he
had
,
as
to
a
goddesse
:
as
also
that
of
Nero
,
who
married
himselfe
to
Sporo
a
yoong
boy
,
and
Doriphoro
his
freeman
?
with
that
of
Periander
Corynthian
,
who
according
to
Herodotus
,
lay
Aristophanes
Ephesian
,
who
according
to
Plutarch
in
his
Parallelles
,
Fuluius
Romanus
,
who
by
the
same
Authors
testimonie
,
exceedingly
affected
a
mare
,
by
whom
he
had
a
daughter
called
Hippona
?
Of
Cyparisso
that
fell
in
loue
with
a
Doe
?
Of
Pigmalion
and
Alchiades
Rhodian
,
who
were
each
of
them
affected
with
the
loue
of
a
dumbe
Statue
?
And
last
of
all
,
of
Serses
,
who
sincerely
loued
one
Platano
?
Of
latter
daies
Galleazzo
Mantuano
(
as
Pontanus
reporteth
)
being
Tiron
Milanese
,
ouergone
with
the
loue
of
a
fish
in
a
Pond
,
which
hee
tearmed
il
Gobbo
,
or
the
bunch-backt
,
it
hauing
beene
eaten
by
certaine
good
fellowes
,
remained
many
daies
afflicted
out
of
measure
for
this
losse
;
neither
could
he
any
waies
be
comforted
,
he
alwaies
thinking
that
the
death
of
his
fish
Gobbo
,
would
likewise
draw
speedily
after
it
his
owne
life
.
These
bee
therefore
amorous
Fooles
,
recommended
to
God
Cupid
his
protection
,
whom
to
this
ende
,
in
their
behalfe
,
wee
affectionately
sollicite
with
this
inuocation
following
.
An
inuocation
to
god
Cupid
for
amorous
Fooles
.
GOD
saue
thee
faire
winged
child
,
al
haile
most
gentle
son
of
Venus
,
liue
for
euer
thou
most
excellent
quiuered
Archer
,
and
yet
once
more
Viue
,
thou
discreete
warriour
in
the
Marshall
enterprises
of
Loue
:
All
these
Fooles
taken
in
thy
net
,
catched
with
thy
baite
,
and
in
thy
prison
captiuated
,
as
humble
subiects
of
thy
dominion
and
Empire
,
they
with
all
humble
submission
entreat
thee
,
that
thou
wouldest
be
touched
with
their
torments
,
and
haue
that
commiseration
of
their
tribulations
and
griefe
,
which
in
so
tender
and
effeminate
a
god
as
thou
art
,
is
not
onely
thought
requisite
,
but
euen
proper
,
and
euerie
way
pertinent
to
thy
deitie
.
Remooue
thy
snares
,
take
away
thy
hooks
,
put
vp
thy
arrowes
,
lay
aside
thy
bow
,
&
shew
thy selfe
vnto
them
naked
,
&
disarmed
,
to
the
ende
they
may
not
be
affraid
of
those
weapons
,
wherwith
somtimes
offended
,
they
haue
sufficiently
prooued
what
hurt
they
carrie
with
them
.
The
which
thing
if
thou
shalt
vouchsafe
to
effect
,
in
that
notable
Temple
thou
enioyest
in
the
iland
of
Cyprus
,
they
promise
to
offer
a
great
peece
of
flint-stone
,
without
the
steele
to
strike
fire
withall
,
to
shew
that
thy
flames
be
quenched
,
and
that
fire
smoothered
vp
,
which
when
it
bursteth
foorth
,
miserably
consumeth
euerie
ones
hart
.
Of
desperate
Fooles
:
the
nineteenth
discourse
.
THere
be
certaine
accidents
which
sometimes
happen
vnto
men
,
through
which
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
one
being
mooued
by
the
bitternes
of
such
effects
,
hee
falleth
into
so
great
desperation
,
as
loosing
all
sense
and
vnderstanding
,
he
giueth
himselfe
wholly
ouer
,
as
a
pray
to
griefe
,
and
so
far
yeeldeth
to
his
afflicted
and
tormented
mind
,
as
the
heauines
of
such
a
mischance
foolishly
and
fondly
vrgeth
and
inciteth
him
thereunto
:
and
through
this
malignant
effect
,
he
obtayneth
amongst
men
the
title
of
a
desperate
Foole
.
For
this
kinde
of
passion
is
questionlesse
a
plaine
madnes
in
such
like
men
,
who
not
being
able
to
endure
crosses
,
hasten
after
an
ende
of
the
same
,
altogether
vnwoorthie
of
one
wise
,
or
that
knoweth
how
to
gouerne
himselfe
.
Of
this
kinde
of
argument
,
the
first
example
which
commeth
to
my
minde
,
is
that
of
Luctus
Sillanus
,
sonne
in
lawe
to
Claudius
the
Emperour
,
who
for
that
hee
was
depriued
of
his
wife
Octauia
shee
being
giuen
to
Nero
,
was
suddenly
oppressed
with
so
great
anguish
of
minde
,
that
the
verie
day
of
her
mariage
,
the
more
to
make
him
be
enuied
(
as
Cornelius
Tacitus
affirmeth
)
with
his
owne
poynard
he
killed
Silius
Italicus
,
a
famous
Poet
,
of
whom
Angelus
Politianus
recounteth
He
died
old
,
and
did
suruiue
his
sonne
:
By
his
owne
hand
,
this
cruell
deed
was
done
.
In
the
Romaine
Chronicles
we
read
of
Marcus
Portius
Latro
,
who
ouercome
with
the
great
molestation
of
a
double
quartaine
,
layde
himself
his
owne
hands
on
his
backe
,
and
willingly
gaue
vp
the
ghoast
.
Wee
finde
written
in
Ouid
of
Sardanapalus
King
of
the
Assyrians
,
that
being
vexed
with
a
grieuous
war
,
when
hee
saw
his
affaires
goe
quite
backward
,
hee
threw
himselfe
desperately
vpon
a
burning
pile
of
wood
,
and
in
that
fire
most
miserably
died
,
and
these
be
Ouid
verses
:
These
bodies
deere
thou
maist
commit
vnto
the
fire
,
Biondus
and
Corius
make
mention
of
Ezelino
the
tirant
of
Padoa
,
that
being
wounded
in
one
of
the
battailes
he
Martine
Turriano
,
prince
of
Mylane
,
like
a
madde
beast
he
vnbound
and
tore
open
his
wounde
,
giuing
vp
his
life
as
one
desperate
,
and
who
as
it
seemed
was
borne
onely
to
the
dammage
and
ruine
of
humaine
kinde
.
Caelius
reciteth
this
notable
follie
of
one
Timantes
Cleoneus
,
by
profession
a
champion
,
who
not
being
Shee
saying
thus
,
and
eeke
prepar'd
to

,
Leapt
out
of
bed
,
with
furie
all
enflam'd
,
Putting
her
sword
,
on
left
side
by
and
by
.
With
that
which
followeth
:
In
these
our
daies
that
desperate
follie
reported
by
Cecco
of
Brisselli
,
is
questionlesse
verie
ridiculous
,
who
hauing
in
the
heat
of
sommer
a
mightie
strong
itch
,
he
suffered
likewise
as
great
a
disturbance
,
by
a
swarme
of
flies
,
as
in
such
cases
it
oftentimes
hapneth
,
and
so
great
was
the
molestation
which
he
receiued
from
them
,
as
not
being
able
to
shake
them
off
,
of
his
nose
,
forehead
,
or
hands
,
nor
from
the
nape
of
his
neck
,
which
was
all
candied
,
like
a
most
desperat
man
,
he
one
day
threw
himselfe
into
a
tubbe
of
honie
,
saying
:
I
hope
you
will
remaine
heere
catched
and
taken
by
the
heeles
,
and
afterwards
leauing
the
tubbe
,
he
might
perceiue
those
shamelesse
creatures
,
to
be
clotted
all
of
a
cluster
within
the
barrell
to
his
singular
contentment
.
But
now
on
the
other
side
list
a
while
:
for
at
the
smell
of
the
honie
,
there
came
a
most
irkesome
swarme
of
bees
and
waspes
,
by
whose
buzzing
and
stinging
hee
being
sore
vexed
,
entred
into
such
a
rage
by
this
seconde
assault
,
as
apparrelling
himselfe
from
hande
to
foote
,
like
to
a
man
compleate
armed
with
his
beuer
downe
,
he
went
and
sate
in
the
sunne
,
saying
:
now
hum
and
bum
,
as
long
as
you
will
,
for
in
despight
of
flies
,
and
all
the
bees
and
waspes
in
the
worlde
,
I
will
keepe
this
my
scalde
itch
to
my selfe
:
but
an
infinite
armie
of
these
creatures
fluttering
about
him
,
at
the
onely
odour
and
smell
of
his
corruption
,
in
the
ende
,
not
being
able
to
beholde
himselfe
thus
besieged
,
he
grew
desperate
,
and
cast
himselfe
into
a
caldron
of
hot
scalding
lee
,
saying
;
and
you
loue
honie
so
well
,
as
it
seemeth
you
do
,
come
hither
a
gods
name
and
fasten
vpon
me
.
This
sort
therefore
before
spoken
of
,
be
desperate
fooles
,
who
haue
within
the
Hospitall
for
an
ensigne
the
picture
of
the
goddesse
Venilia
,
wherefore
as
their
protectresse
let
vs
with
dew
praiers
and
entreatie
,
sollicite
her
in
their
behalfe
.
A
supplication
to
goddesse
Venilia
for
desperate
Fooles
.
O
Thou
which
replenishest
mens
mindes
with
hope
,
comfortest
with
sage
meditation
the
disconsolate
,
restorest
wearied
spirits
to
true
&
vnfained
alacritie
,
&
therefore
by
all
the
afflicted
arte
sedulously
called
vpon
,
while
others
thus
groane
vnder
their
burden
,
and
that
thou
seest
the
terrible
extremities
and
hart
burnings
of
these
fooles
,
procure
that
thy
mercifull
hart
may
be
touched
with
such
commiseration
,
as
that
thou
causing
thy selfe
to
bee
knowne
for
goddesse
Venilia
,
mother
and
guardian
of
the
desperate
,
these
men
may
thus
by
thy
fauour
,
bee
as
it
were
raised
from
death
to
life
;
for
when
they
shall
perceiue
their
wandring
and
lost
spirits
recouered
,
togither
with
their
dried
vp
bloud
,
and
colour
wan
reuiued
,
they
shall
in
a
pleasant
bonde
and
dutie
,
be
obliged
to
fasten
vp
in
thy
temple
a
hangmans
coller
,
with
an
olde
rotten
halter
,
as
a
true
signe
,
that
by
thy
fauour
they
haue
escaped
death
,
and
that
from
desperate
estate
,
they
are
reduced
to
an
assured
hope
of
future
life
.

THere
be

who
by
no
meanes
can
be
perswaded
,
either
to

,
honestie
,
or
truth
:
obseruing
in
their
operations
,
neither
rule

are
of
a
spirit
crosse

reuerse

not
yeelding
to

consenting
to

nor
conformable

are

out

Of
scoffing
Fooles
:
the
one
and
twentith
discourse
.
TAles
,
bables
,
fables
,
I
will
not
say
wittily
,
but
scoffingly
related
together
with
correspondent
actions
,
gestures
,
and
operations
to
the
same
,
constitute
those
kinde
of
men
,
whom
we
here
call
scoffing
or
iesting
Fooles
,
whose
intent
is
no
other
,
but
to
recreat
and
make
merrie
the
world
,
they
retayning
in
their
heads
a
disposition
more
then
Iouiale
,
from
whence
inuentions
flow
abundantly
,
and
a
thousand
odde
prancks
they
euerie
day
performe
in
presence
of
the
multitude
:
as
that
Clisophus
parasite
to
Philip
K.
of
Macedonia
,
of
whom
Lynceus
M.
Varro
,
&
Galba
make
Strato
Athenian
,
were
famour
Buffons
,
as
Hippolochus
Macedon
in
an
epistle
which
he
writ
to
Linceus
testifieth
,
and
Callimidon
,
Locusta
,
Dinia
,
and
Menedemus
,
to
whom
Telefanes
in
his
booke
of
Cityes
saith
,
that
Demetrius
Poliorceta
,
as
Philarcus
writeth
in
the
sixt
Romaine
Scilla
,
who
otherwise
was
so
graue
and
strickt
in
all
his
proceedings
.
Of
late
daies
,
one
Gonella
was
a
notable
Buffon
,
as
likewise
Carafalla
;
and
yet
of
later
memorie
Boccofresca
the
Padoan
,
who
I
am
perswaded
had
neuer
his
equall
for
Buffonerie
,
much
lesse
any
superiour
:
and
he
was
so
much
the
more
an
ingenious
scoffer
,
by
how
much
he
would
neuer
once
smile
himselfe
,
though
he
made
all
the
rest
of
the
companie
almost
burst
with
laughing
:
for
he
was
not
like
the
Tirinthians
,
so
celebrated
by
Theophrastus
,
who
being
naturall
Buffons
borne
,
had
on
a
time
generall
recourse
to
the
Oracle
of
Delphos
,
to
know
whether
there
were
any
meanes
,
for
the
recouerie
of
this
kinde
of
Folly
;
to
whom
the
Oracle
made
answere
,
that
I
,
there
was
:
so
they
could
sacrifice
a
Bull
to
Neptune
god
of
the
sea
without
laughing
,
the
which
thing
not
being
able
to
execute
,
they
remained
in
the
same
state
of
Buffonerie
,
as
at
the
first
.
Yet
scoffers
and
iesters
are
good
in
this
one
point
,
for
they
make
men
merrie
,
and
expell
melancholy
from
the
heart
,
neither
do
they
eate
their
bread
in
treacherie
,
as
flatterers
doe
,
from
whom
proceedeth
nothing
but
shame
,
and
detriment
togither
.
Now
these
Fooles
haue
before
their
cell
in
the
Hospitall
,
an
image
of
god
Fabulanus
erected
as
their
friend
and
fauourer
:
wherefore
let
it
seeme
no
maruaile
,
though
to
him
,
who
is
protector
of
these
friuolous
chatterers
,
in
this
inuocation
following
,
we
duly
&
fitly
recommend
them
.
A
prayer
to
god
Fabulanus
,
for
scoffing
Fooles
.
THese
men
O
God
Fabulanus
bee
true
gnathoes
,
friendes
and
affecters
by
life
of
thy
name
:
for
they
neither
thinke
nor
speake
of
any
thing
but
fables
and
tales
,
which
spring
from
thee
,
and
inserted
in
them
,
take
so
deepe
roote
as
that
they
shewe
themselues
to
be
the
children
and
true
ofspring
of
God
Fabulanus
:
and
for
this
cause
thy
glorious
godhead
must
needes
haue
a
care
of
thy
deere
friendes
,
that
are
conuersant
with
the
kings
and
princes
of
the
worlde
,
holding
them
in
so
tender
esteeme
,
as
that
it
may
be
knowne
,
how
without
thy
assistance
,
they
coulde
vtter
nothing
sauorie
or
gratious
in
any
sorte
:
Vouchsafe
them
therefore
requisite
protection
,
and
so
effect
,
that
they
may
be
stirred
vp
to
offer
at
thy
aulter
,
which
thou
hast
amongst
the
Tirinthians
,
the
tales
of
Piouan
Arlotto
,
printed
in
parchment
with
text
letters
,
to
the
ende
the
gift
and
present
which
they
offer
,
may
aptly
correspond
with
thee
their
courteous
and
bountifull
benefactour
.
Of
Iouiall
,
recreatiue
,
facete
,
and
friendly
Fooles
:
the
two
and
twentith
discourse
.
THese
sorts
may
be
discerned
from
meere
parasites
or
buffones
in
this
point
:
for
buffones
at
all
times
without
rule
,
mediocritie
,
or
discretion
,
are
readie
to
vtter
and
performe
all
kinde
of
licentious
scurrilitie
,
but
these
facete
companions
,
are
not
so
extreame
in
their
speech
nor
performance
,
obseruing
further
a
decorum
and
decencie
in
all
their
proceedings
,
their
mirth
also
being
farre
more
moderate
then
that
of
buffones
,
which
surely
is
altogither
scurrile
and
dissolute
:
These
sort
of
men
are
for
the
most
part
stored
with
excellent
pleasant
quips
,
notable
tales
,
recreatiue
speeches
,
merrie
prouerbes
,
and
conceited
inuentions
,
manifesting
euen
in
their
verie
exterior
countenances
towards
all
men
,
a
certaine
domesticall
,
friendly
,
sweete
,
affable
,
and
tractable
disposition
.
Marcus
Tullius
in
an
Epistle
to
his
brother
Quintus
,
declareth
Sextus
Nemus
to
bee
such
an
one
;
and
in
his
second
de
Legibus
,
he
setteth
downe
the
olde
Poet
Aristophanes
for
one
of
facete
dexteritie
.
So
Horatius
in
the
first
of
his
sermons
,
attributeth
to
Lucilius
this
iocund
alacritie
of
spirite
saying
,
Lucilius
was
both
wise
and
ciuill
sure
,
And
excellent
,
the
griefe
of
minde
to
cure
:
In
these
our
moderne
times
,
Piouan
Arlotto
was
reputed
for
a
woonderfull
facete
companion
,
whose
sentences
and
sayings
put
in
print
,
shew
the
value
of
his
wit
in
this
kinde
of
folly
.
There
want
not
at
this
day
in
Rome
,
and
the
courts
of
great
princes
,
diuers
fooles
of
this
sort
:
for
more
courtiers
are
conuersant
in
this
studie
,
then
in
any
other
;
it
being
a
very
conuenient
meanes
,
whereby
to
obtaine
the
fauour
of
princes
,
great
ladies
,
and
gentlewomen
,
who
are
sooner
many
times
woone
with
some
cheerefull
and
pleasant
report
,
then
with
the
long
seruice
those
poore
soules
emploie
about
them
,
for
after
due
examination
of
their
owne
errors
,
they
oftentimes
sing
:
O
passions
lost
with
thoughts
both
light
&
fraile
.
And
an
example
of
this
may
be
obserued
in
one
master
Bernardine
of
Beneuento
,
who
seruing
in
the
courte
of
a
great
Italian
prince
,
obtained
one
day
the
fauour
of
a
most
beautifull
ladie
,
onely
for
this
gentle
and
wittie
retortion
:
for
she
saying
that
it
was
very
hot
about
his
lodging
;
hee
wittily
answered
by
way
of
admiration
:
How
can
that
be
faire
lady
,
when
from
Beneuento
(
which
signifieth
in
Italian
good
winde
)
there
can
not
come
but
fresh
and
fine
cooles
!
An other
courtier
called
master
Andrew
of
Pomerano
,
while
he
serued
in
the
court
of
Frauncis
the
first
king
of
Fraunce
,
with
an
excellent
sudden
inuention
,
got
himselfe
the
fauour
of
his
lorde
in
an
instant
,
for
they
being
doubtfull
in
the
court
,
on
what
side
Charles
the
fift
would
assaile
the
kingdome
of
Fraunce
,
and
some
saying
about
Marcelles
,
others
in
Nauarra
,
and
a
thirde
sorte
in
Prouence
,
one
saying
in
one
place
,
an
other
in
an
other
;
this
man
in
presence
of
many
,
the
king
himselfe
hearing
it
,
saide
,
how
aboue
all
other
places
it
was
requisite
to
fortifie
Lingua
d'occa
,
for
Languedocke
as
the
French
terme
it
,
signifying
in
the
Italian
a
goose
toong
,
bicause
it
was
likely
the
rauenous
eagle
(
for
the
eagle
is
the
crest
of
the
Empire
)
woulde
sooner
light
there
then
any
where
else
.
And
of
master
Nicholo
d'Oruietto
this
other
is
mentioned
,
that
seruing
in
the
courte
of
Pope
Leo
,
a
most
courteous
prince
,
on
a
day
,
in
fower
words
onely
,
he
got
his
holines
fauour
for
euer
;
for
while
on
a
time
they
were
talking
of
a
benefice
vacant
(
this
word
sounding
neere
Vacca
in
the
Latine
for
a
cowe
)
it
being
sued
for
by
one
of
the
house
of
Vitelli
(
this
comming
neere
Vitulus
in
the
same
toong
for
a
he-calf
,
on
whom
it
might
haue
beene
bestowed
)
he
wittily
said
:
Holie
father
,
all
reason
woulde
that
it
shoulde
in
any
sort
bee
giuen
to
Vitello
,
bicause
shee
hath
no
neerer
kinred
then
himselfe
,
playing
vpon
the
word
Vacante
,
which
commeth
neere
Vacca
,
signifying
a
cow
,
which
is
mother
to
the
calfe
.
Now
iocund
fooles
of
this
sort
,
haue
a
cell
within
the
Hospitall
,
which
hath
hanging
out
the
picture
of
god
Bacchus
,
particular
patrone
of
such
like
fooles
:
wherefore
as
one
to
them
most
friendly
,
let
vs
cheerefully
with
this
vnder
written
petition
salute
him
.
A

GOod

O

all

mirth
of

if
thou
wilt
be
carroused

O
sweete
Lyaeus
,
then
preserue
&
maintaine
this
pleasant
fraternitie
or
colledge
consecrated
to
thee
:
Behold
how
they
expect
from
thee
that
iocunditie
wherewith
the
Bachides
were
surprised
,
being
inamoured
with
thee
,
when
so
willingly
they
followed
thee
to
the
fortunate
enterprises
of
the
Indies
;
from
which
victorie
returning
,
thou
wert
the
first
that
in
nauale
triumph
(
by
thee
inuented
)
didst
weare
a
kingly
diademe
,
sitting
vpon
the
backe
of
an
Indian
elephant
;
if
therefore
thou
holdest
thy selfe
their
friend
,
as
hitherto
euer
thou
hast
done
,
according
to
the
naturall
inclination
which
bendeth
thee
towards
them
,
they
will
bee
content
not
onely
to
call
thee
Bimatris
,
for
hauing
had
miraculouslie
two
mothers
in
the
worlde
,
Semele
,
and
Ioue
,
Saturmiter
,
hauing
beene
first
in

and

to

thee
Nyseus
of
Nisa

Anio
of

,
Thiontis
of

Nictalius
bicause
thou
art

&
honoured
in

,
Mitrophorus
,
for

;
Orcus

so
called

But
they
will
further

they

Of

TEstines

,
bee
fonde
effects
that
proceede
from
certaine
fantasticall
humours
in
their
heades
,
whom
wee
commonly
call
testie
&
fustian
fooles
:
&
because
this
whole
matter
is
nourished
by
choler
,
and
humaine
inconstancie
,
it
consisteth
in
nothing
else
but
in
sundrie
cogitations
and
actions
,
resoluing
it selfe
in
the
ende
into
a
toie
and
humour
,
according
as
with
such
a
passion
it
seemeth
well
befitting
:
and
of
such
like
disposition
bee
all
those
that
are
prompt
to
anger
,
and
then
as
easie
to
be
pacified
,
wherefore
the
Poet
Horace
manifesteth
himselfe
a
testie
foole
,
when
he
saith
;
Irasci
facilem
,
tantum
vt
placabilis

;
ready
to

angrie
,
onely
that
I
might
assoone

And
Ausonius
the
Poet
,
was
also
a
froward
foole
,
by
his
owne
I
sought
my
sodaine
anger
for
to
hide

And
for
my

I
did
abide

Of
outragious

Bedlem
Fooles
:
the
fower
and
twentith
discourse
.
AMongst
the
whole
race
of
Fooles
,
there
are
not
any
more
insupportable
,
then
those
whom
wee
call
Fell
,
and
outragious
Fooles
,
for
the
qualitie
of
their
humour
is
so
wilde
and
vntamed
,
as
it
is
requisite
to
auoide
them
,
no
otherwise
then
wee
would
shun
the

Neither
are
they
mad

furious
onely
towards
others

endammaging

with
the
furie
they
are
possessed
withall
,

this

Ancient
Hercules
is
painted
with
this
kinde
of
furie
set
foorth
,
who
after
he
had
put
on
Nessus
the
Centaures
coate
,
through
impatience
of
griefe
,
threw
himselfe
into
the
flames
of
Mount
Oeta
:
whereupon
Claudian
sayeth
:
Thou
fliest
the
top
of
Oetes
,
flaming
all
on
fire
:
And
Ouid
in
the
thirteenth
of
his
Metamorphosis
bringeth

cut

and

making

There
shiuers
:
vp
vnto
the
azurd
skie
:
And
in
the
other
he
saith
:
I
cast
into
the
water
,
shrubs
,
bowes
,
stones
,
clods
,
&
trees
:
Making
it
(
cleere
before
)
as
fowle
as
any
lees
:
And
this
is
the
cause
why
in
an
other
place
hee
describeth
,
that
when
Astolphus
woulde
haue
healed
him
:
he
bound
him
with
many
ropes
,
like
a
Bedlem
Foole
,
as
nowe
he
was
become
.
Athamas
the
sonne
of
Aeolus
is
described
for
so
bestiall
and
furious
by
the
Poet
Ouid
,
as
in
his
outragious
humour
hee
killed
his
owne
sonne
named
Learcus
,
and
these
be
Ouids
verses
in
the
sixt
de
fastis
:
From
hence
it
grew
that
Athamas
,
so
cruel
did
remaine
:
And
that
by
fathers
hand
,
Learcus
was
so
slaine
.
Herodotus
reporteth
this
of
Cambyses
,
that
hauing
violated
Alcmeons
furie
or
the
fastes
of
Phineus
:
Lucanus
in
his
first
booke
,
mentioneth
one
Pentheus
among
the
Fooles
of
this
kinde
,
who
for
hauing
contemned
In

no

Of
Orestes

Paulus

prouerbe
did
arise
,
Oresti
pallium
Peter
Antonio
of
the
valley
of
Taro
,
a
gardner
by
profession
,
performed
somewhat
a
more
solemne
beastialitie
;
for
hauing
had
certaine
fruite
of
his
spoiled
in
the
night
(
as
so
it
chanced
)
hee
fell
heerewith
into
so
woonderfull
an
amazement
and
furious
extasie
with
all
,
that
with
his
teeth
hee
tore
and
deuoured
aspade
,
shouell
,
and
dung-cart
,
not
being
able
to
mitigate
this
violent
humour
,
which
besides
all
reason
did
driue
him
to
madnes
.
Like
vnto
this
man
was
Dominicon
of
Guastalla
,
who
by
a
mischance
in
a
morning
had
a
bedde
of
yoong
beanes
killed
and
spoiled
,
and
for
so
small
a
matter
he
grew
into
that
furie

disposed
vpon
this
no

he
eate
vp
his
fodder

in

Let
it
therefore
suffice
,
that
such

men
bee
called
outragious

within
the
Hospitall
they

hanging
out
for

fantasticall
humours
that
possesse

Therefore
let
vs
haue
recourse

him
,
as
to
that
god
which
kindleth
the
fire
of
theirfurie
,
to
the
ende
that
blowing

may
be

of
such

A
supplication
to

Mars
for

TO

of

deere

I
nowe
come
to
offer
vnto
thee
the
recommendation
of
these
outragious
and
brutish
fooles
,
who
daily
growe
in
foolish
humours
,
to
the
ende
that
withdrawing
from
them
thy
terrible
influence
,
they
may
gently
like
lambes
suffer
themselues
to
bee
tied
,
euen
as
thou
thy selfe
wert
sweetely
bounde
fast
with
Venus
in
Vulcanes
net
.
If
therefore
beside
the
songs
and
hymnes
of

,
thou
desirest
to
heare
a
still
pipe
sounding
in
thy
Temple
:
and
ouer

aboue
the
carpe
and
pike
fishes
,
that
were
anciently
consecrated
to
thee
,
thou
beest
willing
farther
to

offred

yeeld
some
hope
of
recouerie
to
these
poore
miserable
wretches

to
offer
vnto
thee
fully

Of
grosse
and
three
elbowed
Fooles
:
the
fiue
and
twentith
discourse
.
IT
is
an
vse
and
custome
,
to
name
certaine
men
in
the
world
,
by
the
title
of
grosse
and
three
elbowed
fooles
,
when
such
an
extreme
iocunditie
taketh
place
in
them
,
or
rather
a
kind
of
leuity
&
vnusuall
boldnes
,
which
inciteth
them
to
speake
and
performe
some
follies
,
not
altogither
vnlike
the
disposition
they
are
of
:
and
these
are
for
the
most
part
a
vaine
kinde
of
people
,
which
drawe
verie
neere
to
buffones
,
or
scoffers
,
they
vttering
iestes
that
procure
laughter
,
and
playing
their
prankes
out
of
all
season
,
as
those
who
notwithstanding
it
bee
lent
,
yet
make
it
still
Shrouetide
;
and
as
well
in
badde
as
good
times
,
retaine
still
their
humours
of
follies
,
not
respecting
(
as
before
I
saide
)
neither
time
,
place
,
persons
,
nor
a
thousand
other
necessarie
circumstances
.
The
ancient
example
of
Damasippus
Athenian
,
celebrated
by
Caelius
,
Mascella
d'Asino
,
was
also
one
of
this
tribe
,
for
being
seruitor
to
a
verie
rich
Spanish
knight
,
who
one
day
threatned
that
he
woulde
take
off
his
head
(
vsing
badly
the
Italian
worde
capezza
,
which
signifieth
an
halter
or
head-straine
)
and
he
faining
not
to
vnderstande
it
(
though
he
had
it
presently
at
his
fingers
ends
)
went
into
the
stable
where
there
were
ten
or
twelue
horse
head-straines
,
and
bringing
them
all
to
his
master
,
hee
saide
,
that
his
noble
Signorie
might
take
which
of
them
he
would
,
so
it
woulde
please
him
to
forbeare
that
with
which
his
trusse
was
tied
vp
;
so
that
the
Spaniard
was
faine
to
laugh
at
this
fellowes
mad
conceit
,
and
thus
passing
ouer
his
choler
,
he
receiued
him
to
former
grace
.
They
therefore
like
vnto
these
aboue
mentioned
,
are
called
grosse
and
three
elbowed
fooles
,
and
within
the
Hospitall
they
haue
hanging
out
for
a
signe
,
the
goddesse
Volupta
or
Voluptina
,
sometimes
so
deuoutly
reuerenced
amongst
the
Romaines
,
on
whom
according
to
our
vsually
manner
,
we
will
in
this
vnder
written
supplication
,
for
their
helpe
and
succour
,
inuocate
.
A
supplication
to
goddesse
Voluptina
,
for
grosse
and
threeelbowed
Fooles
.
BY
the
great
alacrities
and
contentments
,
which
in
thy
deere
bosome
are
laide
vp
,
O
goddesse
Voluptina
;
by
Democritus
his
laughter
;
by
that
of
Philisto
Nicean
,
who
therewith
burst
againe
;
by
the
ioie
of
Phillipides
Comedian
,
that
died
with
the
same
;
by
the
exhilaration
of
Chilo
Lacedemonian
,
that
gaue
vp
his
ghost
in
his
sonnes
armes
,
after
he
had
seen
him
crowned
in
the
game
of
Olympus
;
by
as
manie
tigh-hees
as
euer
came
out
of
god
Liber
or
Bacchus
his
mouth
;
and
lastly
by
all
that
iocunditie
which
is
resident
in
the
whole
Chore
or
Quire
of
the
graces
:
I
pray
,
rebeseech
,
and
once
againe
entreate
thee
,
that
thou
wilt
but
so
much
bridle
the
disposition
of
these
three-elbowed
fooles
to
mirth
and
iolitie
,
that
if
not
wholie
recouered
,
yet
at
least
that
they
be
somewhat
bettered
by
thy
meanes
,
and
fauour
;
which
doing
,
bee
sure
they
will
hang
vp
in
honour
of
thee
in
thy
temple
,
a
Cimball
or
droane
pipe
,
much
like
that
of
Morrice
dauncers
in
a
merrie
May
day
morning
,
in
token
that
with
so
readie
succour
thou
hast
ioifully
releeued
these
poore
miserable
men
.
Of
Fooles
obstinate
,
like
to
an
horse
or
mule
:
the
sixe
and
twentith
discourse
.
THatrace
of
stiffenecked
fooles
,
replenished
with
such
obstinacie
,
as
they
seeme
harder
then
the
diamond
,
and
must
be
entreated
fower
whole
howers
togither
to
yeeld
vnto
the
least
iot
of
that
becommeth
them
,
standing
naturally
vpon
wilfulnes
,
and
being
as
stiffe
as
a
stake
,
within
this
foolish
Hospitall
,
are
properly
called
fooles
obstinate
like
a
mule
.
In
holie
Scriptures
,
obdurate
Pharao
was
for
a
most
notable
example
one
of
these
;
whose
marble
hart
hath
left
vnto
posteritie
a
lamentable
memoriall
of
an
obstinate
foole
,
of
whom
it
may
be
doubted
whether
he
were
son
to
Obduracie
it selfe
,
or
that
he
were
progenitor
or
father
of
the
same
.
Iultan
the
Apostata
,
is
also
by
writers
set
downe
for
a
foole
of
this
kind
,
who
in
his
life
being
euer
an
enimie
,
and
contrarie
to
Christ
,
in
his
last
gaspe
also
most
fellonious
&
accursed
hee
neuer
repented
himselfe
of
his
former
contempts
,
for
mad
with
anger
and
furie
against
him
,
(
although
he
confessed
that
he
was
plainely
subdued
)
he
contended
with
wordes
to
despise
the
victor
;
saying
,
O
thou
Galilean
thou
hast
vanquished
:
All
the
auncient
cruell
tyrants
as
Dionysius
,
Busiris
,
Phalaris
,
one
Hieronymus
,
Policrates
,
Creon
,
and
they
of
late
daies
,
as
one
Romaine
Ecceline
and
Valentine
,
with
others
,
are
placed
in
this
infamous
and
reprochfull
squadron
;
besides
the
base
frie
of
those
,
of
whose
folly
there
remaineth
no
other
mention
in
writers
,
but
that
they
put
them
into
this
Hospitall
of
force
,
in
that
it
was
builte
at
their
sute
,
and
instance
.
Amongst
whom
I
will
mention
one
,
that
would
make
one
runne
his
head
against
a
wall
to
heare
the
irkesome
,
mulish
,
and
Asinaicall
obstinacie
(
as
we
may
well
terme
it
)
which
was
founde
in
a
fellowe
woorthie
well
to
be
beaten
with
staues
,
as
they
beat
down
walnuts
with
long
poles
,
called
Bronte
of
Saint
Alberto
,
who
being
borne
as
it
shoulde
seeme
for
a
spectacle
of
vnusual
wilfulnes
,
and
obstinacie
of
minde
,
stoode
stiffely
one
day
to
it
,
that
whereas
Donatus
in
a
place
saith
,
Ianua
sumrudibus
,
I
am
a
gate
,
entrance
,
or
instruction
to
the
rude
and
ignorant
;
this
worde
Ianua
in
that
place
was
ment
by
the
citie
of
Genoa
,
and
for
confirmation
of
this
his
opinion
,
hee
cited
the
authoritie
of
a
certaine
Phisicall
vocabulare
,
which
one
master
Simon
a
Genowese
,
hath
made
vpon
all
Galens
workes
,
where
he
saide
,
that
hee
had
seene
it
thus
expressed
:
and
notwithstanding
there
wanted
not
many
learned
men
in
euery
corner
,
who
perceiuing
this
his
simplicitie
,
openly
condemned
him
of
his
obstinat
position
,
yet
would
not
this
Puglian
beetle
head
euer
yeeld
,
or
be
perswaded
,
that
it
signified
a
gate
:
there
was
arguing
and
debating
to
and
fro
,
sometimes
with
this
reason
,
and
otherwhiles
with
that
;
and
at
last
,
resolute
in
no
sorte
to
acknowledge
his
errour
,
he
saide
,
that
if
it
were
not
ment
by
Genoa
,
it
was
not
in
like
manner
vnderstoode
by
a
gate
,
or
porte
,
but
rather
by
a
porter
,
or
gate-keeper
so
as
perceiuing
the
sophistrie
and
deepe
distinction
of
this
buffone
,
that
argued
logically
,
euery
one
blessed
himselfe
for
woonder
,
that
hee
had
but
yet
yeelded
so
much
to
the
honorable
assembly
that
was
about
him
.
An other
archpedant
,
and
most
pedanticall
pedagoge
,
(
for
that
is
the
head
strongst
ging
of
all
others
,
in
that
it
is
the
blindest
&
most
ignorant
)
surnamed
Blesus
;
entring
one
day
into
disputation
with
a
master
of
a
schoole
,
being
a
learned
man
,
of
great
vnderstanding
,
and
excellently
well
accustomed
,
concerning
those
words
of
Cato
:
Trocho
lude
,
aleas
fuge
:
Whip
the
top
,
let
dice
goe
hop
;
hee
so
obstinaely
maintained
,
that
Cato
in
these
words
gaue
leaue
to
yoong
men
to
play
at
snaphaunch
,
and
that
in
their
diet
,
they
in
any
wise
should
take
heed
of
garlicke
,
as
this
discreet
and
wise
teacher
was
faine
to
leaue
him
to
his
ignorance
,
saying
,
he
had
reason
to
doe
as
he
did
.
This
peeuish
obstinate
Pedant
after
the
masters
confirmation
,
further
adding
these
wordes
:
See
whether
I
knew
as
much
as
I
affirmed
or
no
;
for
I
haue
read
Diomedes
,
Scopa
,
and
Priscian
,
more
then
fower
times
ouer
,
and
I
haue
a
Dictionarie
called
Tortello

drie
fat
of
words
and
phrases
,
that
cleereth
all
them
of
doubt
,
which
stand
out
in
contention
,
and
disputation
with
me
about
these
points
.
Suffice
it
that
such
be
obstinate
Fooles
like
the
mule
,
who
within
the
Hospitall
haue
for
their
deuotion
the

therfore
with
solemne

both
may
be
knowen
,
&
reach
vnto
them
that
perceiuerance
which
raigneth
in
thee
,
considering
that
for
the
fauour
thou
herein
shewest
to
this
obstinate
crew
,
thou
shalt
see
offred
vnto
thee
a
good
clout
of
leather
,
such
as
the
Rusticks
of
Romagnia
set
vpon
their
shooes
,
the
which
shall
be
fastened
before
thy
image
as
an
ensigne
,
to
manifest
that
the
obstinacy
they
haue
obtayned
from
thee
,
is
far
more
beneficiall
then
that
other
they
were
possessed
withall
before

Of
pildpated
and
odious
Fooles
:
the
seuen
and
twentith
discourse
.
THey
are
commonly
called
pildpated
or
odious
Fooles
,
who
taking
delight
to
offende
sometimes
one
,
and
then
another
,
not
being
able
to
containe
,
their
humour
applieth
it selfe
one
while
against
this
man
,
and
then
against
that
;
so
as
in
the
ende
it
commeth
to
this
passe
,
that
either
the
most
part
,
all
,
or
those
of
the
better
sort
ioine
together
,
and
seeking
reuenge
,
they
cause
them
to
remaine
pildpated
fooles
;
for
they
be
those
that
bear
away
sometimes
the
good
bastenadoes
,
and
carrie
home
the
blowes
vpon
their
heads
,
which
oftentimes
for
their
blockish
importunities
they
haue
deserued
.
And
though
sometimes
it
may
be
thought
otherwise
,
because
they
are
stout
and
peremptorie
out
of
measure
in
their
owne
conceites
,
hoping
in
this
sort
to
beare
downe
their
companion
or
any
man
they
deale
withall
,
whom
they
esteeme
but
as
a
withered
Tauerne
Iuie
bush
,
yet
doe
they
so
much
the
rather
remaine
taken
of
a
sudden
:
For
it
seldome
times
hapneth
,
but
that
he
who
presumeth
so
much
of
himselfe
,
is
at
last
taken
vp
for
halting
,
by
another
as
stoute
as
he
,
that
will
stand
hard
to
his
tackle
,
and
returne
buffe
for
baffe
.
Cateline
thought
to
haue
taken
Marcus
Tullius
napping
,
with
a
notable
plot
he
deuised
against
him
;
but
this
wise
and
politicke
man
returned
all
the
mischiefe
vpon
his
owne
head
,
and
by
meanes
of
the
same
woman
discouering
all
his
practises
,
hee
hampered
him
in
such
a
sort
,
that
in
the
ende
(
as
Salust
writeth
)
he
together
with
all
his
companions
remained
as
Laurence
de
Medices
,
neere
kinsman
to
Duke
Alexander
,
thought
he
had
performed
a
great
exploite
(
as
Iouius
recounteth
,
&
Ruscellus
more
copiously
then
he
)
in
killing
this
Duke
within
one
of
the
chambers
of
his
George
Sanese
also
thinke
to
haue
effected
a
notable
peece
of
seruice
,
in
minding
to
deliuer
into
the
French
mens
hands
the
Castle
of
Milane
?
And
yet
this
treason
being
discouered
,
the
Traytor
lost
both
the
friendship
of
the
one
,
with
his
life
and
good
name
at
an
instant
.
All
these
kinde
of
men
therefore
are
called
woorthily
pildpated
Fooles
,
because
they
are
discouered
,
and
it
comes
home
to
them
at
length
,
euen
as
they
thought
to
haue
taken
others
tripping
.
And
these
men
haue
for
their
signe
within
the
Hospitall
a
Rhadamantus
,
to
whom
I
nowe
turne
my selfe
,
to
demand
succor
(
as
vsually
I
am
wont
)
for
these
miserable
,
ignorant
,
and
treacherous
sort
,
with
swoord
readie
drawne
.
A
supplication
to
Rhadamantus
for
pildpated
Fooles
.
AMong
all
the
infernall
iudges
,
there
is
not
any
more
vpright
or
seuere
then
thou
and
Minos
,
togither
with
Eacus
the
son
of
Egina
,
and
Iupiter
:
And
therefore
for
this
cause
thou
art
deseruedly
called
vpon
,
to
salue
and
cure
this
kinde
of
vniust
fooles
,
that
in
the
kingdome
of
Ditis
sittest
in
the
chiefest
chaire
:
performe
therfore
that
which
is
expected
from
thy
office
&
place
,
&
(
as
reason
requireth
)
we
will
offer
vnto
thee
a
pilde
threadbare
gowne
,
that
hath
beene
in
the
hands
of
a
Iewe
for
the
space
of
tenne
yeeres
,
which
shall
not
haue
vpon
it
so
much
as
one
nappe
or
haire
,
for
a
testimoniall
,
to
the
ende
this
may
manifest
vnto
the
worlde
,
that
there
is
not
any
who
better
laieth
open
and
discouereth
these
pildpated
fooles
then
thy selfe
,
they
being
subiect
to
that
whippe
and
scourge
,
which
woonderfully
chasteneth
men
of
their
qualitie
and
condition
.
Of
irregular
and
vnbridled
Fooles
:
the
eight
and
twentith
discourse
.
THose
insolent
sorte
,
who
rashly
and
licentiously
proceeding
,
vsurpe
a
libertie
to
offende
others
,
either
in
wordes
or
deedes
,
they
thinking
the
whole
world
to
be
their
owne
,
and
that
with
this
abused
libertie
,
they
may
at
their
pleasure
,
bandie
against
euerie
one
,
are
in
fewe
words
termed
,
vnbrideled
fooles
,
like
an
horse
,
hauing
naturally
inserted
in
them
indomptable
mindes
,
and
insolent
shamelesse
dispositions
;
neither
can
you
with
fitter
epithites
more
aptly
describe
the
qualitie
of
this
foolish
crewe
,
who
kicke
and
wince
with
their
heeles
,
forwarde
,
behinde
,
and
on
all
sides
,
at
euery
one
they
meete
withall

It
seemeth
that
Seneca
in
his
Epistles
reckoneth
one
Oscus
to
bee
in
the
Aretine
,
Franco
,
Burchiello
,
Bernia
,
and
other
such
like
friends
of
Pasquine
,
&
Marforius
;
wherefore
no
maruaile
though
at
length
they
came
to
bee
sifted
out
,
and
by
those
soundlie
bitten
,
A
supplication
to
goddesse
Hippona
,
for
vnbridled
fooles
.
WHen
the
auncients
(
O
dunghill
goddesse
)
placed
thy
acceptable
image
in
sties
and
stables
,
it
was
not
in
contempt
of
thee
,
being
thus
amongst
beasts
as
one
scorned
or
neglected
,
but
bicause
they
knew
that
all
creatures
haue
some
god
or
goddesse
their
fauorite
,
as
Syluanus
is
god
of
sheepe
;
Miagro
the
god
of
flies
;
Bubona
goddesse
of
oxen
;
and
for
this
cause
also
wert
thou
adored
as
the
goddesse
,
ouerseer
of
horses
,
and
their
stables
,
and
if
Nicholas
Cuchiero
of
Saint
Quaranta
knewe
but
thus
much
,
be
thou
assured
,
though
he
be
but
a
poore
man
,
yet
woulde
he
spend
three-halfepence
in
buying
of
thy
image
,
to
fasten
on
the
toppe
of
his
cart
,
that
at
all
times
thou
maist
be
a
fauorite
to
his
horses
:
And
therefore
for
this
cause
,
haue
those
poore
tankerdbearing
iades
in
recommendation
,
who
though
they
were
neuer
good
for
any
thing
else
,
yet
may
they
serue
to
fill
three
or
fower
cesternes
with
water
:
But
if
propitius
,
according
to
thy
accustomed
maner
,
thou
shalt
behold
with
a
pitifull
eie
other
mensnecessities
,
thou
shalt
perceiue
that
with
as
much
speede
as
is
possible
,
no
trifles
shall
be
offered
vnto
thee
,
for
when
thou
thinkest
least
vpon
it
,
a
couple
of
huge
malte
sacks
like
those
of
Gonella
will
come
,
by
which
it
shal
be
known
,
that
these
men
now
bear
right
downe
weight
,
who
before
were
vnbridled
,
and
without
any
toleration
or
retention
that
was
good
.
Of
extrauagant
,
extreme
,
and
right
Fooles
indeed
:
the
nine
and
twentith
discourse
.
ALl
those
by
this
common
terme
are
called
extrauagant
,
extreme
,
and
right
fooles
indeed
,
who
performe
certaine
extraordinary
,
vnusuall
,
and
strange
follies
,
which
exceed
ordinarie
bounds
,
and
are
not
heard
or
seene
to
be
perfourmed
by
fewe
others
besides
themselues
;
as
that
was
which
Elian
reporteth
by
one
Trasillus
Esonensis
,
who
fel
Laurentiano
Fiorentino
,
a
man
learned
,
and
of
Leonius
an
excellent
philosopher
of
his
time
:
For
(
as
Peter
Crinitus
writeth
)
without
any
occasion
,
or
misfortune
whatsoeuer
,
they
threwe
You
Mahumetans
,
now
giue
eare
and
muse
On
that
which
Soldan
Theobald
doth
say
:
If
you
the
Alchor
an
,
doe
not
peruse
,
You
can
not
saued
be
an
other
day
.
An
other
called
Scarpaccia
of
Gradisca
,
had
an
extrauagant
humour
in
his
head
,
(
as
it
may
bee
termed
)
for
entring
into
conceite
that
he
was
king
of
Cuckoes
,
to
euerie
one
that
spoke
to
him
,
whether
it
were
good
or
euill
,
hee
woulde
alwaies
answere
three
times
,
cuckow
,
cuckow
,
cuckow
:
and
being
demaunded
why
he
answered
not
to
the
purpose
,
he
replied
againe
,
I
am
the
king
,
cuckow
,
cuckow
,
cuckow
.
I
remember
I
haue
heard
say
,
that
one
Alberto
of
Pietra
mala
,
which
is
the
confines
of
Bologna
,
was
in
deede
one
of
these
extrauagants
;
for
entring
into
conceite
that
hee
was
become
Lorde
of
Mirandula
,
hee
writ
a
letter
to
those
of
the
towne
,
that
they
shoulde
render
into
his
handes
the
fortresse
,
and
receiuing
no
answere
of
his
follie
,
in
great
furie
he
leapes
me
a
cockhorse
,
and
tooke
a
drum
vpon
his
shoulders
,
going
from
Pietra
mala
,
euen
to
the
confines
of
Mirandula
,
to
wage
warre
with
them
on
his
own
part
;
in
which
thing
like
a
foole
as
hee
was
,
being
also
flowted
,
he
went
vnder
the
wals
of
that
towne
,
and
laying
an
hot
tourd
neere
to
the
gate
,
said
,
that
if
the
Myrandulanes
woulde
not
receiue
him
for
their
Lorde
,
yet
they
shoulde
accept
of
the
other
whom
hee
left
as
his
substitute
.
These
be
those
fooles
,
who
within
the
Hospitall
haue
the
image
of
God
Hercules
for
a
signe
,
who
is
very
doubtful
,
whether
he
shoulde
be
protector
and
defender
for
terme
of
life
of
these
kinde
of
fooles
or
no
,
and
therefore
in
this
sollicitation
ensuing
,
wee
will
tickle
him
with
an
Encomion
,
according
to
our
accustomed
manner
.
A
petition
to
god
Hercules
for
extrauagant
,
extreme
,
and
right
Fooles
indeed
.
THou

bicause

seeking

monsters
;
named

Alceus
.
Thou
art
further

who
by
thy

and
through

,
diddest

with

Thou

Thou

:
which
in

Nemea
,
didst
slea

extraordinarie
huge

and
from

time
forwarde
didst

Further

King

Aboue

who
beeing
angrie
when
ingrateful

didst

:
who
with
thy
arrowes
didst
pearce
through
the
Egle
,
that
deuoured
the
renewing
hart
of
Prometheus
,
confined
by
Mercurie
in
Mount
Caucasus
:
who
fighting
on
horsebacke
,
didst
ouercome
Cygnus
the
son
of
Mars
thy
competitor
;
which
subduedst
the
Cyclopes
,
whilest
as
a
maide
thou
didst
attend
on
Omphale
Queene
of
the
Lydians
:
that
didst
destroy
Hebeus
with
all
his
familie
;
wounding
also
Iuno
,
who
would
haue
succoured
him
:
and
didst
kill
Eurytus
King
of
Ochalia
,
ruinating
the
citie
called
by
his
name
:
And
yet
once
more
thou
art
hee
,
which
didst
by
force
take
vnto
thy selfe
,
and
conduct
with
thee
into
Euboea
Iole
,
the
daughter
of
the
foresaid
Eurytus
,
who
was
denied
thee
to
wife
:
that
neere
the
riuer
Sagari
didst
kill
a
serpent
of
immeasurable
greatnes
;
didst
slay
the
Dragon
that
kept
the
garden
of
Hesperides
,
freeing
the
Oteans
from
gnats
and
hornets
;
and
this
onely
for
generation
sake
,
that
of
two
nights
there
might
bee
made
but
one
:
and
with
so
many
of
these
thy
great
woonders
,
and
miracles
shall
it
not
be
true
,
that
thou
canst
likewise
performe
somewhat
,
in
the
behalfe
of
these
vaine
and
weake
sort
of
extreme
Fooles
,
of
thee
true
man
,
but
in
all
thy
attempts
a
god
,
exceedingly
fauoured
,
that
they
may
remooue
the
matter
out
of
their
heads
,
which
thou
in
an
instant
didst
purge
from
the
heads
of
the
serpent
Hydra
.
Well
goe
to
,
if
thou
shalt
doe
them
this
fauour
,
I
will
promise
thee
,
that
besides
the
Temple
thou
hast
amongst
the
Aegyptians
,
and
Tirians
,
there
shall
a
great
chappell
in
this
Hospitall
be
consecrated
to
thy
name
,
and
an
Oake
apple
offred
at
thy
aultar
,
in
signe
,
that
it
is
as
easie
for
thee
to
deliuer
them
,
as
to
promote
vp
so
high
such
a
like
fruit
,
amongst
all
others
obserued
to
be
of
no
worth
.
Of
mischieuous
or
diabolicall
Fooles
:
the
thirtith
discourse
.
THE
most
brutish
,
strange
,
and
accursed
kind
of
Fooles
that
be
,
are
out
of
al
question
some
,
whom
we
vsually
call
by
this
name
of
mischieuous
,
or
diabolical
fooles
,
the
title
or
imposition
,
fitting
verie
well
with
the
infernall
and
diabolicall
inclination
they
are
of
;
for
they
are
so
viperous
,
and
inwardly
so
swollen
with
rancour
,
despite
,
and
all
kinde
of
pride
,
that
any
one
would
sweare
,
they
were
the
true
cosen
germaines
of
another
Farfarello
,
and
Calubrino
.
Neither
are
the
examples
of
these
verie
fewe
,
for
the
deuill
goeth
all
ouer
sowing
of
them
,
like
the
hearbe
Dogs-foote
,
and
of
themselues
they
bud
foorth
like
to
Hydras
heads
,
and
with
their
flames
they
set
(
if
it
were
possible
)
all
heauen
on
fire
,
much
more
the
earth
.
No
man
can
denie
but
that
those
gyants
were
of
this
race
,
who
by
Iupiter
for
their
pride
were
slaine
with
lightning
from
heauen
,
for
the
writer
or
Author
of
Etra
maketh
this
matter
verie
euident
in
those
verses
:
The
ancient
Gyants
did
sometimes
contend
,
To
plucke
the
stars
out
of
the
loftie
skie
,
And
to
peruert
,
Ioues
kingdome
without
end
Imposing
lawes
on
all
the
world
boldly
.
In
like
manner
it
cannot
be
denied
,
but
that
Mazentius
a
contemner
of
the
gods
,
was
of
the
selfe
same
race
:
Virgill
setting
him
downe
for
such
an
one
in
these
verses
:
The
first
from
Terrhene
soyle
,
that
went
to
war
,
Was
proude
Mazentius
,
who
with
gods
did
iar
.
And
this
was
he
of
whom
Macrobius
vseth
these
words
:
Nor
as
King
Xerxes
,
who
did
threaten
bondes
Amongst
whom
in
like
manner
I
giue
to
a
thousand
diuels
,
that
Plegia
king
of
Lapithes
,
and
father
to
Ixion
;
who
for
rashly
setting
fire
on
the
Temple
of
Apollo
in
Delphos
,
is
declared
by
Virgill
,
that
for
punishment
of
his
offence
,
he
was
inclosed
in
an
infernall
caue
,
in
these
verses
:
All
Plegian
malefactors
,
with
loud
voice
he
doth
aduise
From
hell
,
Iustice
to
vse
,
and
not
the
gods
despise
.
Valerius
Maximus
,
and
Lactantius
Firmianus
,
assigneth
An
inuocation
to
Pluto
for
mischieuous
and
diabolicall
Fooles
.
WHatgod
may
I
more
conueniently
call
vpon
,
to
remooue
the
folly
of
this
diuelish
crew
,
then
thee
high
Pluto
,
Prince
of
Herebus
,
admirall
of
the
Stigian
waters
,
president
of
the
flames
which
exceed
a
thousand
times
those
of
Aetna
,
or
Mount
gybello
?
what
God
if
not
hee
,
who
is
the
sonne
of
Saturne
and
Opis
,
brother
to
highest
Iupiter
,
Lorde
of
the
infernall
kingdome
,
being
mightie
in
riches
,
and
therefore
called
Ditis
,
principall
amongst
the
Manian
gods
,
therefore
called
Sumanus
,
and
of
power
to
inflict
vpon
them
their
due
punishments
,
called
therefore
Orcus
,
by
euery
one
?
what
god
if
not
thou
,
who
rentest
Titius
hart
from
out
his
bodie
,
punishest
Tantalus
with
thirst
,
makest
Ixion
to
bee
turned
vpon
a
wheele
,
causest
Sysiphus
to
roule
the
stone
,
and
chastisest
Salmoneus
with
so
sundrie
torments
.
Thou
I
say
,
the
scourge
of
all
extreme
cruelties
,
the
reuenger
of
flagition
,
the
ouerthrower
of
the
wicked
,
and
flaile
of
all
badde
men
,
oughtest
to
haue
a
care
of
healing
these
mens
follie
,
in
the
same
manner
as
thou
hast
before
cured
so
many
other
by
giuing
them
into
the
hands
of
the
furies
,
who
incensed
against
them
,
may
inflict
vpon
them
those
torments
,
which
the
greeuousnes
of
their
offence
demeriteth
.
The
which
if
thou
shalt
performe
,
vndoubtedly
with
all
speede
an
hornelesse
doad-man
shall
bee
offred
vnto
thee
,
for
demonstration
of
the
punishment
thou
hast
laide
vpon
these
men
,
according
to
their
deserts
,
and
the
insolencies
which
so
diuelishly
they
haue
committed
.
A
discourse
of
the
Author
,
to
the
beholders
concerning
that
part
of
the
Hospitall
which
appertaineth
to
Women
,
wherein
he
wittily
setteth
down
all
the
former
kindes
of
folly
to
be
likewise
resident
in
them
.
COnsidering
(
noble
beholders
)
that
you
haue
commodiously
perused
all
their
Cels
one
by
one
,
who
diuerslie
besotted
and
depriued
of
their
witte
,
are
become
not
so
much
a
ridiculous
,
as
a
miserable
spectacle
to
other
men
;
and
that
you
haue
taken
such
delight
in
the
subiects
of
them
,
as
you
coulde
anie
waies
looke
for
,
from
so
strange
and
vncouth
humours
,
administring
at
an
instant
by
diuers
meanes
,
both
contentment
and
woonder
to
your
mindes
,
by
the
specialties
of
follie
which
you
haue
obserued
:
I
thinke
it
not
much
amisse
to
point
out
vnto
you
likewise
this
other
part
of
the
Hospitall
,
allotted
to
women
,
causing
you
to
beholde
with
your
eies
,
the
most
ridiculous
emploiments
of
foolish
women
,
that
euer
peraduenture
you
haue
seene
in
the
worlde
.
Bicause
with
the
greater
solace
you
may
leaue
this
harbour
,
and
replenished
with
greater
woonder
and
admiration
,
goe
all
ouer
the
worlde
,
declaring
and
setting
foorth
the
monstrous
follies
,
which
shall
by
me
be
reuealed
vnto
you
,
the
which
you
receiuing
from
mee
,
will
in
your
relating
them
to
others
,
administer
speciall
contentment
:
Fixe
therefore
your
lookes
I
beseech
you
,
on
that
part
,
which
I
will
point
out
vnto
you
,
and
cast
an
eie
heere
on
the
left
hand
,
where
you
see
a
long
rowe
of
lodgings
and
chambers
,
which
haue
so
manie
superscriptions
,
titles
,
and
deuises
set
vpon
their
dores
;
for
all
those
be
Cels
appropriated
to
foolish
women
,
to
be
hold
which
leisurely
,
is
accounted
no
smal
fauour
,
it
being
the
custome
to
shew
them
seldome
,
and
to
few
,
in
respect
of
the
modestie
obserued
towardes
that
sexe
,
naked
for
the
most
part
as
you
now
see
.
The
first
chamber
which
you
see
there
with
that
deuise
hanging
ouer
the
dore
,
which
is
a
tuft
of
wilde
nettles
,
with
an
inscription
,
which
importeth
,
in
puncto
vulnus
;
is
the
lodging
of
a
Romaine
matrone
called
Claudia
Marcella
,
which
in
her
youth
was
the
most
sweete
,
affable
,
Iouiall
,
and
pleasant
madde
wench
,
that
from
the
one
to
the
other
pole
coulde
bee
mette
withall
;
a
rare
patterne
of
comlines
,
the
onely
portraiture
of
curtesie
,
the
image
of
diuine
splendor
and
beautie
,
and
the
very
expresse
Idea
of
courtly
grace
and
carriage
:
and
nowe
(
behold
howe
lamentable
her
chance
was
)
slipping
one
day
in
her
pantofles
,
as
she
went
to
the
solemnization
of
goddesse
Bona
her
feast
,
shee
fell
vpon
a
great
stone
with
her
forehead
and
chinne
,
and
thus
loosing
both
her
wit
and
memorie
at
an
instant
,
she
began
to
bee
lunaticke
and
doting
,
after
such
a
sort
,
as
she
became
euerie
day
woorse
and
woorse
,
sitting
vpon
the
bedde
as
you
see
,
al
mournfull
and
heauie
,
with
an
vrinall
at
hande
;
and
as
often
as
you
demaund
an
answer
of
her
,
touching
this
or
that
matter
,
so
often
doth
she
take
the
vrinal
out
of
an
Hutch
harde
by
,
and
beholding
herselfe
therein
,
she
saith
,
this
is
the
wise
prophetesse
Sybilla
;
and
thus
peereth
sometimes
on
the
vrinall
glasse
,
and
otherwhiles
on
the
water
within
it
.
Whereupon
the
master
of
the
Hospitall
,
who
is
a
man
of
greatknowledge
and
vnderstanding
,
about
the
causes
and
reasons
of
the
infirmities
there
raigning
,
hath
framed
that
deuise
,
or
imprese
with
the
title
,
minding
ingeniously
heerein
to
giue
gentlemen
strangers
to
vnderstand
,
that
come
to
beholde
this
part
of
the
Hospitall
,
by
the
tuft
of
pricking
nettles
,
and
that
motto
;
In
puncto
vulnus
:
that
as
the
nettle
no
sooner
toucheth
,
but
it
pricketh
and
stingeth
,
so
that
matrone
no
sooner
slipt
and
fell
vpon
the
stone
,
but
that
by
the
cruell
fall
she
was
so
affrighted
in
her
braine
,
as
nowe
she
laboureth
and
turmoileth
her-selfe
there
within
as
you
see
.
That
other
chamber
neere
vnto
it
,
where
you
see
one
standing
in
the
dore
,
who
all
silent
and
sadde
,
with
her
eies
looking
downward
,
and
all
disheaueled
,
to
fixe
her
countenance
vpon
the
earth
,
neuer
so
much
as
looking
vpward
;
but
on
the
contrarie
,
with
her
eies
drooping
,
she
so
bendeth
her
lookes
to
the
grounde
,
as
it
might
seeme
that
her
eies
were
concentred
and
fast
linked
to
the
earth
,
is
one
Martia
Cornelia
,
of
the
countrie
of
the
Insubrians
,
who
from
her
infancie
hath
beene
possessed
with
melancholike
humours
,
and
therefore
you
may
obserue
her
so
sauage
in
aspect
,
and
in
countenance
ghastly
.
And
amongst
other
humours
which
oftentimes
disturbe
her
imagination
,
this
one
in
good
earnest
is
verie
terrible
,
that
many
times
she
takes
herselfe
to
be
a
silke
worme
:
whereupon
she
neuer
doth
any
thing
else
but
nibble
vpon
mulberie
leaues
,
affirming
that
by
this
meanes
she
preserueth
her-selfe
in
life
:
and
therefore
you
may
perceiue
that
the
deuise
and
motto
,
set
vpon
her
gate
by
the
master
of
the
Hospitall
,
be
correspondent
to
her
infirmitie
:
the
deuise
being
a
codde
or
webbe
,
with
a
silke
worme
within
,
and
on
the
one
side
a
little
branch
of
a
mulberie
tree
,
with
a
motto
framed
in
these
words
,
Et
mihi
vitam
,
&
alijs
decus
.
But
I
praie
you
looke
a
little
foreward
,
and
regard
that
Cell
which
hath
the
gate
open
,
where
shee
whom
you
see
with
a
cushinet
by
her
,
and
a
fine
wicker
basket
with
cruell
and
silke
,
to
worke
withall
,
giuing
ouer
her
best
emploiment
,
with
that
needle
in
her
hande
,
shee
goeth
stabbing
of
flies
,
and
pismires
,
in
steede
of
working
vpon
her
cushion
:
she
is
called
Marina
de
Volsci
,
so
lither
and
idle
,
that
the
whole
day
in
steede
of
some
serious
labour
,
she
giueth
her-selfe
to
bucksomnes
,
&
gig-loitry
:
wherefore
the
master
of
the
place
hath
assigned
her
for
a
deuise
,
a
graie
bearded
olde
man
,
pursuing
of
butterflies
,
with
a
motto
appertinent
to
the
purpose
,
Quo
grauior
,
eo
segnior
.
The
fourth
Cell
which
next
succeedeth
,
if
you
marke
well
(
for
it
hath
the
gate
gaping
and
wide
open
)
is
made
after
the
fashion
of
a
tauerne
,
wherein
a
woman
lieth
prostrate
,
with
her
haire
loose
about
her
eares
,
a
Thirsus
in
her
hande
,
and
withall
a
little
bell
,
seruing
to
ring
therewith
to
god
Bacchus
his
feasts
,
who
Teronia
Heluetia
,
with
her
head
full
of
good
Greeke
and
Trebian
wines
,
doth
nothing
else
but
whirle
about
,
shaking
that
Thirsus
or
wreathed
iaueline
,
and
ringing
the
bell
with
all
mirth
and
iolitie
.
To
conclude
,
growing
drunke
,
she
spreadeth
herselfe
vpon
the
floore
of
the
earth
,
euen
as
now
you
finde
her
;
and
for
this
cause
she
hath
a
deuise
made
,
with
a
motto
answerable
to
her
ebriety
,
which
is
a
Magge
pie
with
a
soppe
in
her
mouth
,
and
these
words
vnder-written
:
Hinc
silens
,
hinc
loquax
.
The
other
whom
you
see
in
the
Cell
vnderneath
,
who
with
her
rocke
and
spindell
,
taketh
a
lanterne
in
her
hande
to
see
to
worke
by
at
high
noone
day
,
and
when
the
sunne
with
his
beames
shineth
ouer
the
whole
Hemispheare
,
is
a
mad
forgetfull
foole
,
which
can
carrie
nothing
in
minde
that
shee
hath
to
doe
,
who
is
called
Orbilia
Beneuentana
:
wherefore
the
deuise
and
motto
fitteth
exceeding
well
with
her
folly
,
the
denise
being
a
mole
,
which
naturally
is
blinde
,
with
this
motto
:
Haec
oculis
,
haec
mente
.
But
that
other
miserable
and
infortunate
poore
soule
,
who
as
soone
as
she
sawe
you
looke
towards
her
Cell
,
hidde
herselfe
behinde
that
close
stoole
,
couering
her
bodie
with
the
bolster
,
and
rugge
of
her
bedde
,
is
a
certaine
prettie
tiptoe
,
called
by
all
men
Lucietta
of
Sutri
,
who
in
al
her
actions
is
so
fantastical
and
skittish
,
that
when
she
goeth
sometimes
to
blow
the
fire
,
&
but
feeling
the
winde
of
the
bellowes
,
she
starts
backe
three
fadome
,
for
feare
of
that
blast
;
and
this
tremulent
humour
can
no
waies
bee
remooued
out
of
her
head
,
though
diuers
&
sundrie
phisitions
haue
tried
a
thousand
experiments
for
her
cure
:
wherefore
with
good
consideration
that
deuise
is
set
vpon
her
dore
,
which
is
;
a
conie
scraping
vp
the
earth
,
with
a
motto
that
saith
;
Huic
fuga
salus
:
bicause
like
a
conie
she
thinkes
not
her selfe
secure
,
except
she
hide
her-selfe
in
the
same
manner
as
you
see
.
Oh
but
for
gods
sake
vouch
safe
to
talke
with
her
,
apparelled
all
in
graie
,
that
hath
so
great
goll
or
thropple
hanging
downe
,
as
she
may
cast
it
back
vpon
her
shoulders
,
if
you
will
heare
a
right
puppie
in
deed
:
for
this
is
that
Menega
of
Voltolina
,
daughter
to
Roganzzo
Panada
,
and
Mathia
his
wife
,
who
on
a
time
was
made
beleeue
,
that
a
cowe
making
loue
to
a
frogge
,
and
he
mooued
with
compassion
towards
her
,
not
knowing
any
other
course
hee
coulde
take
to
content
her
,
he
was
willing
one
day
while
the
cow
was
drinking
at
a
riuer
,
to
be
swallowed
downe
by
her
,
&
thus
swimming
within
her
belly
,
hee
entred
into
that
concauitie
where
the
cowe
conceiueth
,
and
pissing
there
within
it
,
hee
made
her
after
three
yeeres
space
to
bring
foorth
a
creature
,
which
had
legs
like
to
a
frogge
,
and
all
the
rest
was
like
to
a
pied
or
spotted
cowe
,
such
as
those
of
Hungarie
be
:
wherefore
the
master
of
the
Hospitall
seeing
her
so
rounde
and
plumpe
in
substance
,
hath
placed
vpon
her
Cell
that
deuise
which
you
see
,
it
beeing
a
Buffle
,
with
a
ring
at
his
nose
,
and
this
motto
Quocunquerapior
;
bicause
no
deuise
can
be
more
conformable
and
correspondent
to
her
humour
then
this
.
In
that
other
Cell
which
you
see
,
there
is
a
certaine
sillie
soule
,
of
an
addle
and
weake
braine
,
as
any
creature
you
euer
sawe
in
the
worlde
,
and
she
is
called
Orsolina
Capoana
,
who
is
of
this
qualitie
,
that
if
you
bidde
her
sweepe
the
house
,
she
will
fall
a
paring
of
her
nailes
,
and
yet
it
will
be
euening
before
she
haue
made
an
ende
of
this
worke
;
and
sometimes
when
she
hath
beene
enioined
to
heate
the
lie
for
the
bucke
,
shee
put
her
mouth
to
the
spiggot
of
the
tubbe
,
blowing
there
for
the
space
of
three
howers
like
a
verie
dottrell
,
and
by
such
like
fopperies
poore
wretch
she
is
so
transported
away
in
her
senses
,
that
if
you
shoulde
but
bidde
her
voide
an
vrinall
,
be
sure
that
like
a
little
childe
,
blowing
of
feathers
vp
into
the
aire
,
with
a
thousande
other
toies
,
she
will
tarrie
two
houres
at
the
least
,
and
at
the
last
,
either
bring
you
the
emptie
case
,
or
the
vrinal
al
battered
and
broken
,
being
so
simple
a
drizzell
as
she
is
.
Therefore
maruaile
not
if
the
keeper
of
the
Hospitall
haue
set
that
deuise
vpon
her
dore
;
which
is
a
flie
houering
about
a
light
,
and
a
motto
,
which
in
Spanish
signifieth
,
Ne
mas
,
ne
menos
:
for
as
there
is
not
a
more
sillie
creature
then
this
kinde
of
flie
,
which
houereth
so
long
about
the
candle
,
that
at
last
she
burneth
her
owne
wings
;
so
is
there
not
any
so
sottish
a
roile
,
which
may
be
compared
to
her
.
It
seemeth
this
other
foule
flappe-mouth
is
verie
like
vnto
her
,
who
hath
forgotten
her
spindle
,
while
her
rocke
is
betweene
her
legges
,
and
nowe
much
amazed
therefore
,
and
staring
with
her
eies
,
she
lookes
vpon
you
,
as
if
she
had
neuer
seene
man
in
her
life
before
:
this
woman
is
called
Thadia
di
pozzuolo
.
And
amongst
many
other
of
her
sotteries
this
one
is
very
notorious
;
that
when
the
Guardian
of
the
Hospitall
one
day
commanded
her
to
take
a
little
water
out
of
the
cesterne
,
and
set
it
vpon
the
table
,
in
steede
of
vsing
the
bucket
,
she
tooke
a
porredge
pipkin
wherein
there
were
colewoorts
a
seething
,
&
set
the
broth
vpon
the
table
,
so
qualified
with
colde
water
,
as
all
men
that
were
present
conceiued
of
her
minnerie
,
togither
with
no
indifferent
woonder
,
delight
,
and
pastime
thereat
:
and
for
this
cause
she
is
set
foorth
with
that
imprese
you
there
see
,
which
is
a
goose
climbing
on
the
toppe
of
an
hedge
,
with
her
motto
,
Frustranitor
;
this
imprese
with
the
motto
thereof
signifiyng
,
that
as
the
goose
is
a
grosser
creature
then
any
other
,
neither
can
she
so
much
as
flie
ouer
an
hedge
;
so
she
performeth
foolishlie
all
actions
whatsoeuer
she
goeth
about
,
bicause
she
doth
not
any
one
thing
as
she
shoulde
doe
.
That
foule
beetle-headed
Margherita
Bolognese
,
remaining
there
in
that
Cell
belowe
,
seemeth
to
be
a
birde
of
the
same
nest
,
of
whose
stupiditie
though
there
were
no
other
signe
or
manifestation
in
the
wolde
;
yet
woulde
this
one
tricke
of
hirs
be
more
then
sufficient
,
to
prooue
her
so
:
who
being
sent
by
a
certaine
dame
to
the
shops
of
the
Iewes
,
about
an
ambassage
of
hers
,
to
hier
braselets
and
earerings
,
as
they
vse
to
doe
for
setting
themselues
foorth
in
Carneual
time
,
she
going
to
a
casket
of
her
mistresses
,
tooke
there
out
a
paire
of
braselets
which
she
had
in
a
boxe
,
with
certaine
faire
earerings
,
&
carried
them
to
a
Iewe
saying
;
that
such
a
gentlewoman
her
mistresse
sent
thither
that
ware
,
to
bee
let
out
for
vse
,
and
thus
she
returned
of
that
message
to
her
mistresse
,
brauely
gulled
by
that
wiseaker
,
as
coulde
bee
possible
;
and
for
a
good
while
there
was
speech
of
nothing
else
in
that
house
but
of
this
:
wherefore
you
see
that
proportionablie
the
keeper
hath
placed
for
an
imprese
ouer
her
dore
,
abroad
faced
owle
,
with
a
motto
which
saith
;
Ipse
ego
&
ego
ipse
.
But
be
holde
next
vnto
her
within
her
Cell
,
comes
that
wicked
Lucilla
da
Camerino
,
who
is
as
vitious
us
a
foole
as
possiblie
can
be
,
and
for
confirmation
heereof
,
beholde
the
vessell
she
hath
in
her
hande
:
this
vessell
is
full
of
walnut
water
,
which
maketh
the
skinne
as
blacke
as
a
cole
.
Now
this
woman
about
noone
time
besmeareth
all
her
body
ouer
,
and
being
naked
draweth
heere
to
the
maides
of
the
keepers
house
,
when
it
is
about
dinner
time
,
so
that
all
of
them
agast
at
so
foule
a
sight
,
runne
away
,
and
leaue
the
table
and
meate
as
a
praie
to
that
rauenous
she
wolfe
,
who
without
any
discretion
at
all
,
doth
in
a
manner
ordinarilie
plaie
those
prankes
,
to
the
children
,
seruants
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
house
.
Heereupon
she
hath
ouer
her
Cell
a
deuise
altogither
conformable
to
her selfe
,
which
is
a
foxes
taile
that
sweepeth
a
chamber
,
with
this
French
motto
:
Parmafoy
que
liet
tanbien
.
I
say
nothing
to
you
of
that
other
despightful
cockscombe
called
Flauia
Drusilla
,
whom
you
see
there
busied
about
that
little
foisting
curre
,
rubbing
and
combing
him
so
carefullie
,
as
appeereth
,
who
a
little
while
after
,
calling
him
to
her
by
the
name
of
Fiorino
,
and
hee
not
comming
,
she
groweth
into
such
a
furie
,
as
that
in
choler
she
woulde
hang
,
or
presently
make
him
into
iellie
;
and
this
is
her
qualitie
,
that
for
euerie
little
matter
she
is
so
mooued
,
as
cursed
Gabrina
,
or
the
wife
of
Pinabell
,
woulde
haue
but
an
harde
match
with
her
.
And
if
there
were
nothing
else
,
yet
is
this
one
part
of
hers
most
notable
,
which
happened
the
other
day
:
for
while
she
was
washing
out
her
buck
,
a
little
lie
by
misfortune
that
fel
out
,
sprinkled
into
one
of
her
eies
;
whereupon
this
despightful
foole
tooke
the
bucking
tubbe
,
and
threw
it
against
the
wall
,
breaking
it
all
in
peeces
,
carrying
away
the
clothes
she
had
washed
,
and
rensing
them
in
a
riuer
that
ranne
hard
by
,
where
she
let
all
goe
downe
the
streame
merrily
,
neither
had
she
recouered
any
of
them
againe
,
if
a
discreete
wench
had
not
runne
in
and
tolde
them
of
the
house
of
it
,
sending
downe
to
the
waters
side
men
with
long
poles
to
take
them
vp
as
well
as
they
coulde
:
and
therefore
since
that
time
,
the
master
of
the
Hospitall
caused
a
painter
a
friende
of
his
,
to
place
ouer
her
Cell
that
deuise
,
which
is
;
a
Beuer
biting
off
his
owne
stones
,
with
this
motto
;
Vlcisci
haudmelius
:
which
cleerely
manifesteth
the
outragious
follie
of
this
beast
.
Beholde
that
other
swine
snowted
sowestanding
in
her
dore
,
which
doth
nothing
but
gyrne
and
laugh
,
and
at
the
least
matter
she
either
heares
or
sees
,
sets
her
mouth
wide
open
like
an
ouen
:
She
is
called
Domicilla
Feronia
,
who
hath
an
husband
that
blockishlie
reciprocateth
with
her
in
the
same
folly
,
nowe
bicause
her
humour
consisteth
in
nothing
else
but
immeasurable
laughter
,
the
keeper
hath
caused
to
be
placed
ouer
her
dore
,
that
owle
sitting
vpon
a
whippe
,
a
creature
that
would
make
the
very
stones
to
smile
at
the
sight
of
her
,
with
this
motto
;
Haec
alijs
,
&
mihi
alij
:
for
thus
her
vanitie
is
exceeding
well
notified
,
she
being
a
coffine
replenished
with
carrion-like
matter
,
but
voide
of
any
witte
,
or
vnderstanding
at
all
:
I
cannot
tell
whether
you
perceiue
her
that
sitteth
at
her
dore
vpon
a
seate
,
with
a
gowne
trailing
after
her
like
a
peacocks
taile
,
she
is
called
Tarquinia
Venerea
,
then
whom
there
can
be
nothing
more
proude
and
glorious
:
and
this
I
shall
tell
you
manifesteth
as
much
;
for
declaring
her
progenie
one
day
to
certaine
gentlemen
,
although
it
exceeded
not
two
hundred
yeeres
in
antiquitie
,
yet
prooued
she
her-selfe
to
bee
of
the
Queene
of
Saba
her
race
,
&
shewed
therwith
a
pearle
&
diamond
of
extraordinarie
value
and
estimation
,
which
she
saide
great
king
Salomon
gaue
her
,
when
she
departed
from
his
court
;
forcing
euerie
one
to
beleeue
,
that
successiuely
by
inheritance
,
these
iewels
came
in
the
end
to
her
.
And
yet
one
day
she
vttered
a
more
notable
one
then
this
,
declaring
to
certaine
ladies
and
gentlewomen
who
were
come
to
see
her
,
that
she
had
yet
in
her
house
a
paire
of
hose
of
taffata
,
that
belonged
to
the
Signior
and
consorte
of
that
Queene
her
kineswoman
:
wherefore
the
keeper
of
this
place
obseruing
the
simple
follie
of
this
woman
,
and
accomodating
a
deuise
to
her
genius
or
inclination
,
hee
placed
ouer
the
doore
of
her
Cell
for
an
imprese
,
the
image
of
Time
,
after
the
same
sort
as
it
is
by
Poets
described
,
which
is
,
by
a
Dragon
eating
vp
his
owne
tayle
,
with
a
proportionable
motto
to
the
same
,
that
saith
:
Sola
aeternitate
victa
.
But
I
pray
you
,
doe
me
this
one
fauour
,
obserue
her
well
which
commeth
after
,
beeing
called
Andronica
Rhodiana
;
thinke
of
her
as
of
a
craftie
and
subtile
Foole
in
deed
;
for
questionlesse
she
fayneth
her-selfe
to
bee
distracted
for
no
other
ende
,
but
to
enioy
easie
and
good
daies
,
who
in
this
point
discouereth
her selfe
;
for
sometimes
shee
will
goe
into
the
hen-loft
,
and
get
her
into
the
corner
where
the
hen
sittes
,
crying
,
co
co
co
,
to
shew
like
an
hen
that
she
hath
layd
an
egge
;
but
if
any
goe
to
take
it
vp
,
she
cryeth
no
more
after
that
manner
,
brusling
her
feathers
,
or
cackling
like
an
hen
;
but
with
a
good
staffe
in
her
hand
shee
will
make
him
stand
further
from
the
hen-roost
:
wherefore
the
keeper
perceiuing
these
her
knauish
proceedings
,
hath
set
her
foorth
for
a
dissembling
Foole
,
and
placed
ouer
her
cell
the
picture
of
Fraude
,
with
her
balance
in
her
hand
wanting
of
waight
,
with
a
motto
adioyning
which
expresseth
,
Ars
fortunae
salus
,
because
by
these
trickes
,
shee
obtayneth
pleasant
and
good
daies
.
The
other
whom
you
see
beholding
the
moone
at
a
window
,
is
called
Liuia
Veletri
,
because
sometimes
she
is
in
perfect
sense
,
as
if
she
neuer
had
beene
possessed
with
this
foolish
influence
;
and
otherwhiles
on
the
contrarie
,
she
is
so
stimulated
by
this
passion
,
as
that
by
long
experience
they
gather
that
shee
is
lunaticke
:
wherefore
the
other
day
she
seemed
in
her
speech
,
and
discourse
another
Palace
.
Now
if
any
man
speaketh
to
her
,
hee
shall
finde
her
altogether
out
of
her
wits
,
tossing
and
turning
like
a
begger
in
fresh
straw
;
for
as
the
moone
wayneth
,
so
doth
her
wit
decrease
:
&
therefore
you
see
a
deuise
with
a
motto
proportionable
to
this
humour
;
the
one
being
a
crab
which
beholdeth
the
moone-shining
,
the
motto
being
framed
in
these
words
:
Nunc
in
pleno
,
nunc
in
vacuo
.
She
enclosed
by
her
parents
within
the
next
cell
,
is
the
faire
Martia
Sempronia
,
where
ouer
the
doore
is
painted
winged
Cupid
with
a
light
in
his
hand
,
and
this
motto
subscribed
:
Desperatasalus
.
For
shee
inflamed
with
loue
,
grew
foolish
not
many
yeeres
sithence
,
for
the
loue
of
one
Quintus
Rutilius
,
and
not
knowing
with
what
to
present
this
ingratfull
yoong
man
,
for
the
mitigation
of
his
crueltie
and
hard
hart
,
with
a
needle
she
let
her selfe
blood
in
a
vaine
,
venting
a
pound
of
her
blood
into
a
golden
cup
with
a
little
inscription
,
that
imported
;
Si
feris
humana
prosint
:
the
which
present
being
by
chaunce
found
by
her
brothers
,
was
occasion
of
a
great
tribulation
which
she
suffered
:
wherefore
amidst
these
vexations
and
iniuries
,
shee
grew
to
a
desperate
degree
of
louing
folly
,
whereinto
being
fallen
,
by
the
small
loue
of
her
parents
,
shee
was
confined
in
the
place
you
see
.
As
a
companion
to
this
woman
,
in
another
kinde
of
folly
shee
there
sheweth
her selfe
,
who
hath
an
haulter
prepared
fastned
to
that
yron
hooke
:
for
though
her
name
may
presage
happily
,
shee
beeing
called
Mansueta
Britannia
,
yet
are
her
actions
quite
contrarie
to
the
same
:
for
like
a
desperate
Foole
shee
hath
three
times
fastned
the
halter
about
her
necke
,
to
hang
her-selfe
,
and
alwaies
some
one
or
other
hath
beene
readie
at
hand
to
helpe
her
:
neither
can
she
by
the
helpe
of
phisitions
any
waies
be
cured
of
this
desperate
disposition
,
bicause
she
hath
suffered
this
passion
to
haue
too
great
predomination
,
the
which
is
so
much
the
lesse
excusable
,
by
how
much
somtimes
vpon
a
trifling
occasion
,
she
will
needes
hang
her-selfe
;
euen
as
the
other
day
,
she
prepared
that
rope
in
the
same
manner
as
you
see
,
onely
bicause
a
needle
was
taken
out
of
her
pinpillow
,
and
so
she
could
not
worke
on
her
cushion
as
she
woulde
haue
done
:
wherefore
the
deuise
and
motto
shewe
her
extreame
despaire
;
the
deuise
beeing
the
bodie
or
trunke
of
a
Cypresse
tree
,
which
beeing
once
cutte
,
neuer
groweth
againe
,
and
the
motto
:
Semel
mortua
quiescam
.
Who
would
not
say
that
Hortensia
Quintilia
,
shee
whose
residence
is
there
a
little
below
,
were
sister
to
Hortensia
of
Bergamo
,
or
Sarnie
,
she
being
a
starcke
noddie
as
also
he
was
:
for
if
his
humour
be
not
included
in
her
,
both
one
and
other
may
goe
hang
themselues
.
This
woman
to
shew
the
veritie
of
that
I
haue
said
,
voide
of
vnderstanding
,
and
of
so
weake
a
braine
,
as
shee
one
day
sat
idle
by
the
fires
side
,
striking
with
the
tongs
vpon
a
burning
logge
,
she
tooke
woonderful
delight
to
see
so
many
sparckles
come
from
it
,
as
children
doe
when
playing
with
their
fathers
,
they
aske
counters
and
crownes
;
when
the
maide
of
the
house
scumming
the
possenet
,
let
fall
some
of
the
broth
vpon
the
blocke
,
and
so
depriued
this
foole
of
her
contentment
,
and
brought
her selfe
to
great
trouble
:
for
she
in
all
furie
,
tooke
vp
the
billet
by
one
end
,
and
with
it
went
after
the
maide
all
the
streete
ouer
,
crying
out
,
lay
vpon
her
,
lay
vpon
her
,
like
a
queane
as
she
is
.
Let
it
suffice
,
that
the
matter
being
afterwards
knowne
,
by
the
maides
owne
report
,
and
those
of
the
house
;
shee
growing
euerie
day
woorse
and
woorse
,
as
it
hapned
,
was
by
her
friends
constrayned
to
enter
in
here
,
where
the
Guardian
of
the
Hospitall
fully
informed
of
her
humours
,
composed
that
deuise
for
her
which
you
see
,
and
placed
it
ouer
her
Cell
,
which
is
no
other
but
a
choake
peare
,
stroken
downe
with
a
great
haylestone
,
and
this
motto
subscribed
:
Actum
est
:
which
concurreth
excellently
well
with
her
folly
,
which
surely
is
head-strong
and
stirred
vp
by
and
by
.
Be
merrie
a
little
,
and
plucke
vp
your
spirits
in
beholding
that
notable
Cogster
Terentia
Samntte
,
who
in
her
gestures
,
words
,
inuentions
,
and
carriage
is
the
verie
sister
of
Boccafresca
,
or
Gonello
:
and
for
proofe
of
this
,
the
other
day
shee
sate
her
downe
,
and
called
into
the
chamber
before
her
all
the
whole
houshold
of
the
master
of
the
Hospitall
,
they
all
running
vp
in
hast
to
heare
some
goodly
matter
come
from
her
(
according
to
her
woont
)
where
many
being
assembled
together
,
while
they
expected
some
discourse
,
or
speech
,
as
otherwhiles
shee
was
woont
to
make
:
at
this
time
(
not
without
laughter
)
shee
vsed
a
thousand
gestures
,
with
her
hands
,
and
eies
,
sometimes
this
way
,
then
that
way
,
seeming
alwaies
,
as
if
she
would
euen
then
haue
begun
;
at
last
fetching
a
deepe
sigh
with
a
grunt
like
an
hog
,
she
told
them
,
that
the
occasion
of
her
calling
them
together
,
was
to
no
other
ende
,
but
that
so
noble
a
grunting
belch
,
might
bee
honored
with
so
goodly
an
assembly
as
there
then
was
:
so
that
verie
fitly
that
deuise
is
set
ouer
her
Cell
,
a
great
iobbernoll
,
with
a
large
slop
after
the
Dutch
manner
hanging
vpon
the
nose
,
and
this
motto
in
Dutch
Italian
gibberedge
:
Chesta
,
stare
bone
compagne
.
But
a
most
Iouiall
and
pleasant
humour
is
that
,
of
Quintia
Emilia
,
borne
to
the
relaxation
and
contentment
of
euerie
one
,
whose
residence
is
in
a
Cell
somewhat
beneath
,
hauing
three
gentlemen
standing
by
her
,
to
whom
with
her
speech
shee
giueth
woonderfull
pleasure
and
delight
.
And
not
long
sithence
one
of
them
demanding
of
her
,
at
what
time
women
are
most
foolish
:
shee
wittily
answered
;
when
you
men
will
but
giue
them
so
much
time
,
as
to
become
so
:
And
to
an
other
,
who
asked
her
wherefore
nature
had
bestowed
so
little
witte
on
women
,
she
presently
answered
,
that
resoluing
his
question
truely
,
the
answere
was
in
readines
,
bicause
nature
wrought
like
a
woman
as
she
was
.
It
may
suffise
that
there
is
a
conuenient
deuise
deputed
for
her
,
which
is
,
a
Iupiter
in
the
midst
of
heauen
sitting
vpon
a
throne
of
gold
,
with
this
motto
of
the
poet
;
Iouis
omniaplena
:
But
marke
that
same
fantasticall
and
capricchious
Herminia
Bohema
,
that
for
a
rosted
chestnut
the
other
day
,
set
all
the
house
in
an
vprore
,
and
other
sometimes
she
giues
to
them
that
woulde
,
and
woulde
not
;
and
the
other
day
for
a
dried
Seruise
,
she
cried
for
the
space
of
an
hower
,
with
her
neighbour
Marietta
,
being
afterward
pacified
in
a
monent
:
she
hath
woorthily
vpon
her
dore
for
a
deuise
,
a
great
Turkicocke
that
girdeth
forwarde
on
a
sodaine
,
and
presently
staieth
,
with
a
motto
;
Tanto
lenis
,
quanto
propera
.
And
she
who
is
chained
to
a
bedde
harde
by
,
is
a
certaine
beastly
foole
called
Giacoma
da
Pianzipane
,
who
the
other
day
plaide
this
fine
pranke
,
for
a
boie
comming
neere
to
her
to
haue
emptied
her
close
stoole
,
she
tooke
the
pot
and
laide
it
on
his
head
,
so
despitefully
,
that
the
poore
lad
was
three
daies
after
,
ere
he
came
to
himselfe
.
And
yet
not
two
daies
since
,
she
performed
an
other
farre
beyonde
this
,
for
finding
an
asse
that
was
brought
into
the
house
,
with
two
baskets
full
of
egges
vpon
his
shoulders
,
she
tooke
a
kneading
tubbe
,
and
so
persecuted
the
poore
asse
,
as
she
made
him
fall
into
an
hole
,
which
serued
as
a
sinke
,
to
receiue
all
the
immundicities
of
that
place
,
where
the
poore
beast
slumped
into
the
dirt
with
his
pannell
,
and
broke
all
his
egges
and
baskets
:
And
besides
in
the
market
she
set
vpon
the
asses
master
,
that
came
behinde
him
,
and
if
he
had
not
sodainly
retired
himselfe
backe
,
out
of
doubt
,
she
had
made
a
mightie
carbonado
of
his
head
incontinently
:
wherefore
the
keeper
considering
the
brutish
humour
of
this
foole
,
ouer
her
Cell
hath
caused
to
bee
painted
fit
to
the
purpose
,
that
Megera
disheaueled
,
and
with
haire
about
her
eares
,
with
her
motto
,
which
saith
;
Accensanil
dirius
.
A
little
vnderneath
marke
her
,
who
is
so
pensiue
in
view
,
and
looketh
on
the
wall
with
her
minde
fixed
thereon
;
she
is
called
Lauinia
Etolia
,
who
is
an
extrauagant
and
notable
foole
indeed
,
and
I
knowe
thus
much
by
this
:
for
not
long
since
shee
writ
a
conceite
to
a
princesse
of
high
place
,
like
to
the
title
of
that
which
those
of
Saint
Marino
in
Romagna
,
writ
to
the
Venetian
Signorie
,
saying
:
To
our
deere
and
welbeloued
sister
,
the
Venetian
Common-wealth
,
for
those
of
Saint
Marino
,
though
they
be
all
in
a
manner
rustickes
,
and
countrie
men
,
yet
liue
they
in
a
common-wealth
like
Venetian
Signiors
;
and
in
that
inuention
she
requested
of
her
a
speciall
fauour
which
was
;
that
withall
her
Damsels
,
and
wayting
maids
,
she
would
come
and
visite
her
,
and
stay
with
her
eight
daies
;
for
she
would
for
her
entertainment
furnish
a
Palace
beseeming
another
Cleopatra
,
and
among
other
dainties
,
shee
would
giue
her
one
of
a
Beuers
stones
,
not
such
an
one
as
a
friend
of
mine
of
Piacenza
bought
,
of
a
roaguish
coosening
mate
in
the
citie
of
Teruigi
,
but
somewhat
lesse
,
which
would
perfume
euen
the
verie
porredge-pot
or
coleworts
within
,
so
precious
it
was
,
and
peerelesse
;
and
to
each
of
her
damsels
,
shee
meant
to
present
an
Indian
cricket
,
who
wakeneth
men
without
a
clock
,
at
what
hower
soeuer
they
please
:
wherfore
vpon
this
worthie
fantasie
,
that
deuise
you
see
was
compounded
,
which
is
the
image
of
a
monstrous
Medusa
,
with
a
motto
,
Extrema
peto
;
because
doubtlesse
her
follies
be
monstrous
and
extreme
.
After
her
followeth
such
another
driuell
,
that
of
all
the
paines
she
takes
,
she
gaines
nothing
but
nichilles
,
and
her
name
is
Calidonia
da
Heppi
,
who
neuer
standeth
still
,
or
is
at
quiet
,
and
somtimes
she
ticketh
with
one
,
and
then
tacketh
with
another
;
and
after
the
sport
is
ended
,
she
returneth
home
,
either
with
her
face
all
to
be
scratch
,
her
haire
shagged
abroad
,
or
her
mouth
all
to
be
grumbled
,
for
these
bee
the
recreations
which
she
ordinarily
vseth
after
meales
:
therefore
by
her
deuise
which
is
à
Pluckt-hen
with
this
motto
,
Quid
nostra
prosunt
?
a
man
may
straight
conceiue
,
wherein
her
error
consisteth
.
And
that
other
somewhat
beneath
her
,
called
Cecilia
Venusia
,
is
a
notable
bucksome
,
and
well
pampered
Foole
,
who
is
continually
conuersant
in
her
riggery
,
neither
can
a
man
behold
afiner
madge-howlet
then
her selfe
,
so
that
she
is
neuer
without
a
companie
of
women
about
her
,
who
without
hir
comfort
,
would
certainely
bee
euen
dead
,
and
halfe
lost
.
This
woman
by
her
monckeries
,
singing
of
riff raffe
rimes
and
countrey
gigs
,
recounting
a
thousand
merrie
tales
,
far
more
pleasant
,
then
those
of
Strapanarola
,
and
by
prating
more
incessantly
then
a
Parrat
,
she
hath
brought
in
amongst
them
an
other
Lubberlande
,
to
passe
ouer
all
melancholike
and
displeasing
humours
:
wherefore
you
see
,
that
her
imprese
is
a
tauerne
bush
on
the
toppe
of
a
speare
,
with
this
motto
;
Vndiquerisus
;
bicause
it
seemeth
that
this
deuise
and
motto
cannot
fitlier
concurre
with
any
then
her selfe
.
There
followeth
after
her
Armodia
Falisca
,
being
an
vnbridled
foole
like
a
horse
,
licentious
and
dissolute
in
all
her
actions
,
in
her
wordes
impudent
and
lauish
,
and
with
insolent
libertie
she
raileth
on
euerie
bodie
,
as
she
did
the
other
day
;
for
seeing
a
great
troupe
of
gentelwomen
returne
from
the
feast
of
some
saint
,
she
founde
faulte
euen
with
this
,
that
one
of
them
had
a
needle
sticking
on
her
head
cawle
,
in
nothing
so
comely
a
sorte
as
was
requisite
:
And
therefore
her
aduise
is
an
horsestraine
,
with
a
motto
expressing
thus
much
;
Nil
satiu●
;
she
being
very
well
knowne
for
so
viperous
a
foole
,
as
in
truth
she
is
.
That
last
Cell
sauing
one
,
belongeth
to
Laurentia
Giglia
,
in
all
her
affaires
being
an
obstinate
foole
like
a
mule
;
and
from
this
,
her
obstinacie
commeth
euidently
to
bee
discerned
;
for
not
long
sithence
being
rebuked
by
some
of
her
friends
for
talking
at
a
window
with
I
know
notwho
,
departing
presently
,
she
as
suddenly
returned
,
and
once
againe
put
in
minde
of
it
by
them
,
she
withdrew
herselfe
a
little
,
and
afterwardes
shewed
herselfe
there
a
fresh
;
neither
could
the
winde
which
came
with
a
great
haile
of
stones
as
as
bigge
as
an
egge
,
so
much
as
make
her
bouge
from
that
place
,
she
being
disposed
to
winne
the
fielde
,
and
haue
the
conquest
of
heauen
and
earth
.
And
therefore
in
all
reason
,
she
hath
an
anuile
with
an
hammer
striking
vpon
it
,
set
vp
for
her
imprese
,
with
this
motto
,
Nec
ictibus
:
which
clearly
manifesteth
the
extreme
wilfulnes
shee
is
possessed
withall
.
But
she
who
strikes
it
vp
,
carries
the
game
away
,
and
makes
vp
the
feast
as
it
should
bee
,
is
Hostilia
Mutinense
,
either
the
sister
of
Merline
,
or
daughter
of
Calcabrine
,
a
woman
inspiritate
,
diabolicall
,
and
stuffed
vp
euen
to
the
verie
gorge
with
all
kinde
of
flagition
and
villanie
.
This
diuelish
Foole
is
so
monstrous
and
malignant
,
as
there
is
no
deuise
in
the
world
that
can
sufficiently
expresse
her
peruerse
,
wicked
,
and
abhominable
nature
.
Therefore
amongst
all
the
rest
,
she
onely
is
left
without
imprese
or
deuise
;
for
neither
Gabrina
for
despite
,
Circes
for
diabolicall
malice
,
nor
any
other
prodigious
monster
so
much
by
the
ancients
celebrated
,
can
woorthily
enough
represent
her
strange
and
enormious
properties
.
So
that
honourable
beholders
I
conclude
thus
much
,
that
it
were
much
better
for
you
neuer
to
come
neere
her
Cell
:
for
if
she
doe
but
perceiue
your
being
here
about
,
make
account
that
like
another
Alcina
,
she
will
turne
you
all
into
beasts
,
trees
,
or
stones
;
and
instead
of
entring
into
an
Hospiof
Fooles
,
you
shall
finde
your selues
in
that
palace
,
where
cursed
destinie
transformeth
men
into
Asses
,
and
this
is
all
you
might
gaine
by
the
sight
of
her
.
Let
vs
therefore
now
put
to
the
gates
of
this
Hospitall
,
and
roaue
abroad
at
large
,
for
that
which
alreadie
you
haue
seene
,
is
more
then
enough
.
