Howe
Lazarillo
de
Tormes
,
at
the
importunate
requests
of
his
frends
,
Imbarked
himselfe
,
to
goe
in
the
Voyage
with
the
King
of
Spaine
,
made
vnto
Argel
,
and
what
happened
vnto
him
in
the
same
.
YOur
worshippe
must
vnderstand
,
that
the
vnfortunate
Lazaro
de
Tormes
,
being
in
this
pleasant
life
,
exercising
his
office
,
and
getting
his
meat
and
drink
,
(
for
that
God
made
no
such
office
,
and
whiche
is
muche
better
then
the
best
foure
and
twentie
other
offices
in
Toledo
,
)
and
withall
,
both
I
and
my
wife
being
well
paide
,
and
contented
with
our
new
daughter
,
daily
increasing
our
housholde
stuffe
,
I
for
my
part
being
well
vsed
,
and
hauing
two
sutes
of
apparell
,
one
for
euerie
day
,
and
the
other
for
the
holy
dayes
,
and
my
wife
as
much
,
with
24.
Roialls
of
Plate
in
my
purse
,
I
came
vnto
this
Towne
,
whither
I
should
not
haue
come
,
where
at
my
arriual
,
I
vnderstood
the
newes
(
as
other
men
do
)
of
the
voyage
vnto
Argel
.
Whereunto
diuers
of
my
neighbors
began
to
hearken
,
saying
one
to
the
other
,
let
vs
goe
thither
,
for
by
that
voyage
wee
may
come
home
laden
with
golde
and
siluer
:
so
that
they
began
to
put
me
into
such
a
couetous
humor
,
that
I
imparted
the
same
vnto
my
wife
,
wherunto
she
,
being
desirous
to
returne
backe
againe
vnto
the
priest
,
answered
me
saying
,
do
as
you
thinke
good
,
but
if
you
goe
,
and
that
it
pleaseth
God
to
sende
you
good
fortune
,
I
pray
you
bring
me
a
Moore
for
my
slaue
,
to
serue
me
all
my
life
,
and
it
shal
suffice
me
,
as
also
I
pray
you
remember
to
bring
some
what
to
marry
this
your
litle
daughter
,
wherunto
the
Barbery
Ducates
,
wherewith
(
they
say
)
those
Dogges
the
Moores
are
so
well
stored
will
not
bee
amisse
.
With
the
which
answere
,
togither
with
the
couetous
desire
I
had
,
I
determined
(
which
I
should
not
haue
done
,
)
to
goe
on
this
voyage
:
From
the
which
my
maister
the
Priest
disswaded
me
verie
much
,
but
I
would
not
beleeue
him
.
To
conclude
,
I
hauing
many
miseries
more
to
passe
,
than
in
former
times
I
had
passed
,
I
agreed
with
a
Knight
of
the
order
of
Saint
Iohn
,
with
whome
I
was
well
acquainted
,
to
beare
him
company
,
and
to
serue
him
in
the
voyage
,
and
that
he
should
beare
my
charges
,
with
such
condition
,
that
whatsoeuer
I
could
get
it
should
be
for
my selfe
.
And
so
there
were
diuers
that
got
,
but
it
was
vnto
me
a
great
and
an
vnfortunate
miserie
,
which
although
diuers
men
felt
,
yet
I
dare
assure
you
I
had
sufficient
for
my
part
.
This
Knight
and
I
(
with
diuers
others
departed
out
of
this
Towne
,
in
great
Iollitie
and
much
brauery
,
as
in
all
voyages
is
commonly
séene
,
but
to
auoyde
tediousnesse
,
I
will
make
no
rehearsall
of
that
which
happened
vnto
vs
in
our
iourny
by
land
,
for
that
it
is
nothing
vnto
the
purpose
,
but
we
were
no
sonner
imbarked
at
Carthagena
,
in
a
good
ship
full
of
men
,
and
victualls
sufficient
,
and
in
company
of
other
shippes
,
but
there
arose
in
the
sea
the
moste
horrible
and
cruellest
tempest
that
euer
your
worship
heard
of
,
whereby
there
happened
the
greatest
wracke
and
destruction
of
men
,
that
had
bene
seene
or
knowne
vpon
the
seas
long
time
before
:
and
in
this
storme
the
worst
was
,
that
the
waues
of
the
sea
did
vs
not
so
much
harme
,
as
our
owne
shippes
did
,
one
vnto
the
other
,
because
the
tempest
being
by
night
,
and
the
cruell
waues
rising
so
high
,
and
so
big
,
there
was
not
any
of
vs
,
that
could
sée
to
deuise
any
remedie
for
our
safetie
,
but
that
whether
we
wold
or
not
,
the
shippes
strake
one
against
the
other
,
in
such
sort
,
that
with
the
blowes
they
forcibly
brake
and
drowned
in
the
sea
,
with
all
the
passengers
.
But
for
that
your
worship
hath
(
as
I
saide
)
bene
enformed
at
large
of
that
which
was
happened
in
that
tempest
,
by
such
as
beheld
it
and
were
in
the
same
,
and
(
as
God
woulde
escaped
,
)
as
also
by
others
that
haue
heard
the
same
deliuered
from
their
mouthes
,
it
shall
bee
néedlesse
for
me
to
touche
any
pointe
thereof
,
more
then
of
that
whereof
I
my selfe
am
able
to
enforme
you
,
as
being
onely
he
that
sawe
it
,
and
(
which
of
all
the
rest
that
were
with
vs
,
)
sawe
it
best
:
Wherein
God
shewed
his
great
mercie
vnto
me
,
as
your
worship
shall
heare
by
the
sequell
.
I
speake
neither
of
he
Moore
,
nor
yet
of
the
Moore
,
for
the
diuell
take
them
all
for
any
that
euer
I
sawe
,
in
that
voyage
:
but
I
beheld
our
shippe
broken
in
many
péeces
,
I
sawe
the
like
done
by
others
,
I
perceiued
neither
mast
nor
yarde
in
her
,
all
the
deckes
broken
vp
,
and
the
vpper
part
cleane
carried
away
,
at
which
sight
the
Captaines
and
Officers
men
of
qualitie
entered
into
the
boate
,
séeking
to
bestowe
themselues
in
other
shippes
,
although
at
that
time
there
were
verie
fewe
among
vs
that
coulde
helpe
them
;
and
left
the
meane
and
baser
sort
of
vs
within
the
ship
,
for
that
the
common
saying
is
,
It
is
better
to
léese
the
worst
then
the
best
.
We
séeing
that
,
committed
our
soules
vnto
God
,
and
began
to
confesse
our selues
one
vnto
the
other
,
because
the
two
Clarkes
that
were
in
our
ship
,
naming
them selues
(
as
they
say
)
souldiers
of
Iesus
Christ
,
went
with
the
Captaines
,
and
left
vs
as
base
companions
vnto
the
mercie
of
the
seas
.
But
I
for
my
part
neuer
heard
so
wonderfull
a
confession
,
as
the
poore
men
made
being
readie
to
die
,
and
I
am
assured
that
there
was
not
one
among
vs
at
that
present
that
was
not
halfe
dead
,
and
diuers
,
which
at
euery
waue
of
the
sea
that
entered
into
the
broken
ship
,
felt
in
a
maner
present
death
,
in
such
sort
as
it
might
be
sayd
(
if
it
were
possible
)
that
they
were
one
hundreth
tunnes
,
and
to
say
the
truth
,
their
confessions
were
of
bodies
in
a
maner
without
soules
.
Among
diuers
of
them
which
I
confessed
,
there
were
some
that
vttered
not
one
worde
out
of
their
mouthes
,
but
only
sighes
,
and
sobbes
,
(
a
thing
common
vnto
men
troubled
and
in
aduersitie
,
)
and
as
much
did
I
vnto
them
:
In
the
ende
we
being
in
a
manner
drowned
in
our
weake
shippe
,
and
wholly
out
of
all
hope
of
any
remedie
or
aide
to
be
looked
for
,
I
began
to
lament
my
death
,
and
to
repent
me
of
my
sinnes
,
(
but
much
more
of
my
comming
thither
)
and
hauing
recited
certaine
deuout
Orazons
,
which
I
learned
in
my
youth
of
my
first
maister
,
fit
to
be
said
at
such
a
time
,
with
the
feare
and
horror
of
death
I
fell
into
a
most
horrible
and
deadly
thirst
,
and
considering
with
my selfe
that
it
would
soone
be
quenched
with
the
salt
and
vnsauory
water
of
the
sea
,
it
séemed
vnto
me
a
point
of
great
inhumanitie
to
vse
small
charitie
vnto
my selfe
,
wherewith
I
determined
,
that
it
were
good
for
me
before
that
euill
water
entered
into
my
bodie
,
to
fill
it
first
with
most
excellent
wine
,
whereof
at
that
present
there
was
great
store
in
the
ship
:
which
at
that
time
was
as
well
without
a
maister
,
as
I
without
a
soule
,
so
that
with
great
desire
and
much
more
haste
,
I
beganne
to
drinke
,
and
with
the
great
thirst
and
the
feare
of
death
wherwith
I
was
oppressed
,
togither
with
the
extremitie
thereof
,
(
withall
,
I
being
no
scholler
but
rather
a
maister
in
that
Art
,
)
and
the
great
folly
I
conceiued
at
that
present
,
because
I
perceiued
not
any
one
desirous
to
beare
me
company
,
I
stood
to
my
tackling
so
earnestly
,
and
drunke
in
such
maner
,
and
so
much
,
sometimes
resting
my selfe
,
and
then
beginning
againe
,
that
from
the
head
to
the
foote
,
I
felt
not
any
part
of
my
sorrowfull
bodie
,
but
was
all
filled
with
wine
,
which
I
had
no
sooner
done
,
but
the
ship
brake
in
péeces
,
and
we
all
drowned
in
the
sea
,
as
for
my
part
,
I
was
nothing
else
but
wine
:
when
the
ship
suncke
it
was
about
two
houres
after
day
appearing
,
at
which
sight
,
by
reason
of
that
wine
that
wrought
in
my
head
,
féeling
my selfe
wholly
vnder
the
water
,
and
perceiuing
not
any
meanes
of
helpe
,
nor
knowing
what
to
do
,
I
laide
hand
on
my
sword
,
which
then
I
had
at
my
side
,
and
therewith
I
began
to
sinke
downeward
into
the
sea
.
At
which
time
I
might
perceiue
great
quantitie
of
fishes
both
great
and
little
,
and
of
diuers
kindes
to
draw
nere
vnto
vs
,
and
verie
nimbly
with
their
téeth
assaild
my
dead
companions
,
soone
tearing
and
renting
their
bodies
in
péeces
:
which
I
beholding
,
was
in
great
feare
they
would
doo
the
like
to
me
,
if
I
should
stand
vpon
termes
with
them
.
Wherwith
I
left
shaking
of
mine
armes
,
as
those
which
were
drowned
in
sinking
did
,
thinking
thereby
to
escape
death
:
but
for
I
could
not
by
anie
meanes
swim
,
I
sanke
downwards
into
the
Sea
,
and
so
laboured
my
heauie
bodie
,
that
I
out-went
that
wicked
companie
and
great
multitude
of
fishes
that
(
at
the
cracke
which
the
ship
gaue
in
breaking
)
came
thither
.
And
in
this
manner
I
descending
downeward
into
the
déepe
sea
,
I
perceiued
comming
behinde
mee
a
great
and
mightie
Armie
of
other
Fishes
,
and
(
as
I
thinke
)
they
came
with
great
desire
to
learne
some
newes
of
me
,
and
with
great
hast
approched
nere
me
,
that
with
their
teeth
they
might
teare
me
in
peeces
,
and
so
eate
me
vp
:
but
I
perceiuing
my selfe
so
compassed
about
with
death
,
with
the
rage
and
feare
whereof
,
not
knowing
how
to
escape
,
I
began
to
skirmish
and
flourish
about
me
with
my
sword
,
which
I
held
naked
in
my
right
hand
,
for
that
as
yet
I
had
not
let
it
fall
,
and
I
plaid
my
part
therewith
so
well
,
that
in
short
space
I
made
such
a
riddance
of
them
,
laying
about
me
both
on
the
right
side
&
the
left
,
that
in
the
end
they
concluded
among
themselues
to
recule
backe
,
and
for
a
time
to
leaue
me
in
peace
:
and
letting
me
rest
,
began
to
busie
themselues
about
the
dead
bodies
of
their
companions
,
that
I
in
defending
of
my selfe
had
slaine
,
(
which
they
presently
eate
vp
and
deuoured
)
:
and
surely
I
did
it
with
little
labour
,
by
reason
those
Fishes
hauing
small
meanes
of
defence
,
and
their
armes
much
weaker
,
it
laye
in
me
to
kill
and
destroy
as
manie
of
them
as
I
would
.
In
the
ende
,
a
good
space
after
I
had
left
them
,
descending
and
sinking
still
into
the
sea
,
and
that
so
straight
and
directly
downward
,
as
if
my
féete
beeing
fixed
vpon
some
certayne
thing
,
my
bodie
had
stood
vpright
.
In
the
ende
I
chanced
vpon
a
great
rocke
,
which
stood
in
the
middest
of
the
déepe
sea
:
and
as
I
felt
my
féete
vpon
the
same
,
I
stayd
my selfe
for
a
time
,
and
began
to
rest
after
my
great
trouble
and
labour
sustained
:
which
vntill
then
,
by
reason
of
the
alteration
that
I
found
in
my selfe
,
and
feare
of
death
withall
,
I
had
no
time
to
thinke
vppon
.
And
as
it
is
a
common
thing
vnto
all
those
which
are
afflicted
and
wearyed
to
sigh
,
being
readie
to
fetch
a
great
sigh
,
which
cost
me
full
deare
:
negligently
opening
my
mouth
,
(
which
notwithstanding
I
shut
presently
againe
)
the
wine
hauing
by
that
meanes
gotten
some
vent
,
it
being
at
the
least
more
than
thrée
houres
after
I
drunke
the
same
,
at
the
issuing
foorth
made
place
for
the
salt
and
vnsauerie
Water
of
the
Sea
,
which
as
then
entred
into
me
,
causing
great
paine
and
torment
in
my
bodie
,
striuing
with
her
contrarie
as
then
within
me
.
Then
I
perceiued
and
saw
the
wine
was
the
onely
meanes
that
my
life
had
so
long
béen
preserued
in
the
sea
,
by
reason
that
my
bodie
euen
to
the
verie
throate
being
filled
with
the
same
,
the
Water
of
the
Sea
had
no
power
nor
place
to
enter
in
.
And
then
likewise
I
knew
the
Prophecie
to
bee
true
that
my
master
tolde
me
of
touching
the
same
,
saying
vnto
me
in
Escalona
,
that
if
Wine
could
euer
preserue
the
life
of
man
,
it
should
surely
preserue
mine
.
Then
it
gréeued
me
to
thinke
vpon
my
dead
companions
in
the
sea
,
because
they
bare
me
not
companie
in
drinking
:
which
if
they
had
done
,
they
surely
had
béen
liuing
as
well
as
I
,
and
their
companie
would
haue
ministred
some
comfort
vnto
me
.
I
did
likewise
in
my selfe
lament
the
miserable
case
of
all
such
as
then
were
drowned
with
vs
,
and
began
to
thinke
with
my selfe
,
that
peraduenture
although
they
had
dronke
as
I
did
,
they
would
not
all
haue
béen
so
wilfull
and
obstinate
as
my selfe
,
because
they
were
not
all
Lazaroes
de
Tormes
,
who
learned
the
Arte
at
that
notable
schoole
of
the
Tauernes
and
Cellars
of
Toleda
,
in
the
companie
of
my
masters
the
Dutchmen
.
In
this
manner
calling
to
memorie
these
and
manie
other
things
,
I
perceiued
a
great
quantitie
of
Fishes
to
approach
vnto
the
place
where
I
was
,
some
rising
from
the
bottome
of
the
Sea
,
others
descending
downward
,
and
all
of
them
ioyning
together
,
besieged
mee
round
about
where
I
sate
.
I
saw
and
knew
verie
well
that
they
came
with
an
euill
intent
and
meaning
:
wherewith
,
hauing
more
feare
than
will
,
I
began
to
rise
,
and
with
much
paine
stood
vppon
my
féete
,
thinking
to
defend
my selfe
against
them
:
but
all
in
vaine
,
being
at
that
instant
in
a
manner
spoyled
and
stiffe
with
colde
,
by
meanes
of
the
euill
water
which
had
entered
into
my
bodie
,
whereof
I
was
so
sicke
,
that
I
could
not
by
anie
meanes
sustaine
my selfe
,
nor
yet
once
lift
vp
my
sword
for
to
defend
mée
.
And
as
I
perceiued
my selfe
to
approach
so
néere
vnto
my
death
,
I
looked
if
I
could
finde
anie
remedie
against
that
miserie
,
and
to
séeke
it
in
my
sword
there
was
no
long
hope
,
for
the
reasons
before
alleadged
.
Wherefore
going
vppon
the
Rocke
as
well
as
I
could
,
as
GOD
would
I
found
a
little
hoale
wherein
I
entered
,
and
beeing
within
,
I
perceiued
it
to
bee
a
Caue
made
into
the
Rocke
:
and
although
the
entrie
were
but
strayght
and
narrow
,
yet
was
there
space
inough
within
to
tourne
and
wynde
my selfe
,
and
vse
my
weapons
at
pleasure
:
whereinto
there
was
no
other
entrie
but
that
onely
which
I
had
luckely
found
out
.
It
séemed
the
Lord
himselfe
had
sent
me
thither
,
for
by
that
onely
meanes
I
recouered
againe
some
part
of
my
former
strength
,
which
before
I
had
almost
vtterly
lost
.
Wherewith
taking
againe
to
my selfe
fresh
courage
,
and
reuiuing
my
drouping
spirites
,
I
turned
my
face
towards
my
enemies
,
placing
the
poynt
of
my
sword
at
the
entrie
of
the
Caue
,
and
so
began
with
most
fierce
Stoccadoes
to
defend
my
Fort.
By
that
time
the
whole
multitude
of
fishes
had
besieged
me
round
about
,
giuing
most
great
flashes
and
assaults
against
me
in
the
water
,
and
approching
very
neere
vnto
the
mouth
of
the
caue
:
but
such
as
séemed
to
bee
most
hardye
,
presuming
to
eate
in
,
I
thinke
escaped
not
scot
free
.
For
as
I
stood
directly
with
my
sword
against
the
entrie
of
the
caue
,
they
thinking
to
enter
,
fell
vpon
my
sword
,
and
so
lost
their
liues
:
and
others
which
with
great
furie
approached
néere
vnto
me
,
got
their
reward
with
blowes
.
All
this
notwithstanding
,
made
them
not
breake
vp
their
siege
:
but
in
the
meane
time
it
waxed
darke
,
and
night
approaching
,
made
the
fight
somewhat
to
cease
,
although
they
left
not
off
manie
times
to
assaile
me
,
proouing
whether
I
slept
,
or
if
by
anie
meanes
they
might
perceaue
me
to
be
wearied
and
weake
.
This
thus
continuing
,
poore
Lazarus
being
in
this
great
extremitie
,
perceiuing
my selfe
assieged
by
so
manie
enemies
,
in
so
strange
a
place
,
without
all
remedie
or
hope
of
reléefe
:
and
considering
,
that
my
good
conseruator
(
I
mean
the
wine
)
began
by
little
and
little
to
consume
within
me
,
in
place
whereof
the
salt
water
entred
,
and
that
each
houre
I
began
to
waxe
weake
,
because
it
was
not
possible
for
me
to
sustaine
my self
,
my
nature
being
altogether
contrarie
vnto
theirs
,
that
remained
and
dwelt
in
the
water
:
and
that
likewise
my
strength
failed
me
,
by
reason
that
of
a
long
time
I
had
not
eaten
any
thing
wherwith
to
strengthen
the
same
,
but
to
the
contrarie
,
laboured
and
trauelled
my
wearie
bodie
,
as
also
,
because
the
water
doth
disgest
and
consume
verie
much
:
I
still
looked
for
no
other
thing
,
than
when
my
sword
would
fall
out
of
my
weake
&
trembling
hands
,
which
should
no
sooner
be
perceiued
by
my
enemies
,
but
they
would
put
me
to
a
most
cruell
and
bitter
death
,
making
their
bodies
my
sepulcher
.
All
which
by
me
well
weighed
and
considered
,
and
on
the
contrarie
,
not
finding
any
remedie
or
meanes
of
releefe
,
I
turned
vnto
him
to
whom
all
good
Christians
haue
recourse
,
recommending
my selfe
vnto
him
that
giueth
ayde
and
reléefe
to
all
such
as
craue
it
at
his
hands
:
that
was
,
the
most
merciful
God
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
Then
I
began
afresh
to
sigh
,
lamenting
and
bewayling
my
former
sinnes
,
asking
mercie
and
forgiuenes
for
them
,
and
committing
my selfe
vnto
his
diuine
will
and
pleasure
,
I
besought
him
to
deliuer
me
from
that
cruell
death
:
with
promise
,
that
if
it
pleased
him
to
giue
me
life
,
I
would
become
a
new
man
euer
after
.
Then
I
made
my
prayers
vnto
the
most
glorious
Saint
Marie
,
his
Mother
and
our
Ladie
,
promising
to
visite
her
in
her
houses
of
Monferrat
,
of
Guadalupe
,
and
on
the
borders
of
France
.
After
that
,
directing
my
supplications
vnto
all
the
Saints
,
but
specially
vnto
S.
Eli●●us
,
and
vnto
Monsieur
S
Amador
,
which
both
haue
power
ouer
the
waters
.
This
done
,
I
rehearsed
certaine
oraisons
,
as
manie
as
I
could
remember
(
learned
of
my
master
)
which
with
most
great
deuotion
I
vttered
,
besides
diuers
other
prayers
,
which
haue
force
and
power
against
the
perills
of
the
water
.
Which
done
,
in
the
ende
the
Lord
Iesus
,
by
the
vertue
of
his
passion
,
and
by
the
force
of
the
Saints
prayers
,
and
for
the
pitie
of
my
great
miserie
,
which
as
then
appeared
before
mine
eies
,
wrought
in
me
a
most
maruellous
and
rare
miracle
,
although
in
respect
of
his
mightie
power
it
séemed
nothing
:
which
was
,
that
I
being
thus
in
manner
without
a
soule
,
sicke
,
and
halfe
choaked
with
the
great
quantitie
of
water
,
which
(
as
I
said
before
)
had
entered
into
my
bodie
,
to
my
no
little
damage
,
and
likewise
being
stiffe
,
and
as
it
were
dead
with
cold
,
that
still
assailed
me
:
which
,
as
long
as
my
preseruer
the
wine
remained
in
his
force
,
I
neuer
once
did
feele
.
My
sorrowfull
bodie
being
wearied
,
and
as
it
were
broken
in
péeces
,
by
meanes
of
the
anguish
and
continuall
persecution
thereof
,
together
with
the
discontinuance
of
eating
meate
,
I
sodainly
felt
my selfe
to
be
changed
from
the
shape
of
a
man
(
which
I
had
béen
,
not
féeling
either
hand
or
foote
)
vnto
the
verie
shape
and
forme
of
those
which
had
and
did
at
that
present
besiege
me
round
about
.
Whose
shape
when
I
perceiued
my selfe
to
be
changed
into
,
I
presently
knew
them
to
be
fishes
called
a
Tonnie
,
and
then
I
vnderstood
how
they
sought
my
death
,
saying
,
This
is
the
traitor
,
and
the
enemie
of
our
sauery
and
most
sacred
waters
:
this
is
the
aduersarie
,
not
onely
of
vs
,
but
also
of
all
other
Fishes
,
which
at
this
present
hath
made
such
an
execution
and
slaughter
among
vs
,
killing
and
murthering
so
great
multitudes
of
our
nation
:
it
is
not
possible
for
him
to
escape
from
hence
,
but
day
once
appearing
wee
will
bee
reuenged
on
him
.
Thus
I
heard
the
iudgement
,
which
my
masters
the
fishes
pronounced
against
mee
,
beeing
a
Tonny
as
well
as
they
.
In
this
manner
being
chaunged
,
I
rested
and
refreshed
my selfe
in
the
Water
,
taking
my
breath
,
and
finding
my selfe
as
cléerely
without
paine
or
gréefe
,
as
if
I
neuer
had
anie
,
washing
my
body
both
within
and
without
with
that
water
,
which
then
and
from
that
time
forward
I
found
to
be
verie
swéete
and
sauerie
,
viewing
and
beholding
my selfe
,
if
I
could
perceiue
anie
part
of
my
bodie
that
was
not
changed
into
a
Tonnie
:
and
so
,
remaining
in
the
caue
in
great
ease
and
pleasure
,
I
thought
with
my selfe
,
that
it
would
be
good
for
me
as
soone
as
day
came
to
get
mee
out
from
thence
:
but
then
I
feared
they
would
know
me
,
and
so
my
conuersion
should
be
manifest
vnto
them
.
On
the
other
side
,
I
feared
my
issuing
forth
,
distrusting
in
my selfe
,
that
they
could
not
vnderstand
me
,
and
that
I
could
not
bee
able
to
aunswere
them
vnto
that
which
they
should
aske
mee
,
by
which
meanes
my
secrete
might
be
discouered
.
For
although
I
vnderstood
them
verie
well
,
and
that
I
perceiued
my selfe
to
be
of
their
forme
and
shape
,
yet
I
greatly
feared
to
be
among
them
.
In
the
end
,
I
determined
the
best
way
for
mee
was
,
that
they
should
not
finde
me
within
the
caue
:
for
they
finding
mee
not
to
be
of
their
companie
,
and
Lazarus
de
Tormes
not
being
found
,
they
will
straight
iudge
me
to
haue
saued
him
,
and
so
will
demaund
an
accompt
of
him
at
my
hands
.
For
the
which
cause
it
séemed
best
vnto
me
,
that
I
going
out
of
the
caue
before
it
were
day
,
and
thrusting
my selfe
among
them
,
being
so
great
a
number
,
peraduenture
they
would
not
sée
me
,
neither
yet
once
finde
me
to
bee
a
stranger
:
and
as
I
determined
with
my selfe
,
so
I
put
it
in
effect
.
CHAP.
II.
How
Lazarus
de
Tormes
called
a
Tonny
fish
,
went
out
of
the
caue
,
and
how
the
Centinells
of
the
Tonny
fishes
tooke
him
,
and
lead
him
before
the
Generall
of
the
Armie
.
IN
skipping
out
of
the
caue
and
leauing
the
rocke
,
I
was
presently
desirous
to
proue
my
new
language
,
and
began
with
a
loud
voyce
to
say
,
I
dye
,
I
dye
.
Those
words
scarce
vttered
by
mee
,
the
Centinell
which
held
the
watch
ouer
the
poore
sinner
Lazaro
de
Tormes
,
came
vnto
me
,
&
standing
about
me
,
asked
me
whom
I
serued
.
Sirs
,
said
I
,
I
serue
the
Fishes
,
and
those
which
are
called
the
valiaunt
Tonnyes
.
Then
said
they
,
for
what
cause
didst
thou
crye
out
so
lowd
?
what
is
it
that
thou
hast
séene
or
felt
in
our
aduersarie
,
whereby
thou
art
so
altered
and
perplexed
,
that
thou
knowest
not
vnder
what
Captaine
thou
seruest
?
I
said
they
should
bring
me
before
the
Generall
of
the
Armie
,
and
there
they
should
know
that
which
they
demaunded
.
Presently
thereupon
one
of
the
Tonnyes
willed
ten
of
the
rest
to
bring
me
vnto
the
Generall
:
meane
while
hee
stayed
behinde
kéeping
the
watch
,
with
the
number
of
ten
thousand
Tonnyes
at
the
least
.
I
was
excéeding
glad
to
perceiue
that
they
did
vnderstand
mee
,
and
sayd
vnto
my selfe
,
He
that
shewed
me
this
great
grace
,
maketh
no
man
lame
.
Thus
we
marched
,
and
at
last
as
daye
began
to
appeare
wee
approached
néere
vnto
the
place
where
the
great
Armie
lay
,
whereas
I
perceiued
such
an
innumerable
number
of
Tonnyes
,
that
I
was
abashed
at
the
sight
.
As
soone
as
they
knew
those
which
led
me
,
they
suffered
vs
to
passe
forward
:
and
beeing
entered
into
the
Generalls
lodging
,
one
of
my
guard
making
humble
reuerence
,
declared
vnto
him
,
where
and
in
what
manner
they
had
found
me
,
&
that
I
being
asked
by
Captaine
Licio
what
I
was
,
I
answered
him
,
that
they
should
bring
me
before
the
Generall
:
and
for
that
cause
they
said
they
had
brought
me
vnto
his
Honour
.
The
Captaine
generall
was
an
excellent
Tonnie
,
fiercer
and
greater
in
body
than
the
rest
:
he
asked
me
,
who
I
was
,
what
was
my
name
,
vnder
what
captaine
I
serued
,
&
what
I
would
haue
,
séeing
I
desired
to
be
brought
before
him
?
Whereat
I
stood
in
a
manner
confused
,
not
knowing
what
name
to
saye
I
had
,
although
I
had
beene
rightly
baptized
,
vnles
I
should
say
my
name
was
Lazaro
de
Tormes
:
neither
could
I
better
tell
from
whence
I
was
,
nor
vnder
what
Captaine
I
serued
,
by
reason
I
was
but
newly
transformed
,
nor
knew
not
the
seas
,
neither
yet
the
large
territories
,
and
the
perticular
names
of
the
same
:
in
such
sort
,
that
letting
passe
some
of
the
questions
by
the
General
propounded
vnto
me
,
I
answered
him
thus
.
My
Lord
,
your
honour
being
so
valiant
,
as
it
is
well
knowen
throughout
the
seas
,
it
seemeth
a
great
disgrace
vnto
your
Honour
and
vs
all
,
that
one
miserable
weake
man
should
defend
himselfe
so
long
gainst
so
puissant
and
mightie
an
Armie
:
and
the
more
,
considering
his
weake
estate
and
abilitie
,
and
the
great
power
of
the
Tonnies
.
Saying
further
,
séeing
that
I
am
one
of
your
Honors
subiects
,
and
at
your
commaundement
,
and
of
your
Armie
,
I
here
present
my selfe
,
with
promise
to
get
and
deliuer
vnto
you
his
Armes
,
and
other
things
that
he
hath
:
which
if
I
doo
not
,
I
desire
for
my
reward
that
you
commaund
me
presently
to
be
cruely
executed
as
a
traitor
.
Yet
whatsoeuer
I
said
,
I
was
sure
I
made
him
no
promise
to
deliuer
Lazaro
de
Tormes
vnto
him
,
left
I
should
bring
a
foole
to
bed
.
This
point
proceeded
not
of
mine
owne
mother
wit
,
but
I
learned
it
of
my
master
at
schoole
.
Whereat
the
Generall
tooke
great
pleasure
to
sée
mee
offer
my selfe
vnto
such
a
péece
of
seruice
:
by
which
meanes
he
desired
not
anie
farther
matter
of
me
,
but
presently
making
me
answere
said
.
It
is
verie
true
that
to
auoyde
the
death
of
my
souldiers
,
I
determined
to
holde
a
siege
about
that
traitor
,
and
to
take
the
man
:
but
if
(
as
thou
saist
)
thou
dost
aduenture
thy selfe
to
enter
the
caue
,
thou
shalt
be
well
rewarded
for
thy
labour
:
although
it
would
gréeue
me
much
,
that
venturing
thy
person
in
the
Kings
seruice
and
mine
,
thou
shouldst
loose
thy
life
,
as
others
haue
done
before
thée
:
because
I
estéeme
much
,
and
make
great
accompt
of
my
valiant
and
stout
Tonnyes
,
and
such
as
are
more
hardie
than
the
rest
,
I
desire
to
preserue
them
before
others
,
as
all
good
Captaines
ought
to
doo
.
My
Lord
,
sayd
I
,
let
not
your
excellencie
stand
in
feare
of
any
danger
that
may
happen
vnto
me
,
for
I
hope
to
bring
the
matter
to
effect
without
the
losse
of
one
drop
of
my
bloud
.
Séeing
it
is
so
said
hee
,
it
is
surely
a
great
péece
of
seruice
,
for
the
which
I
meane
to
recompence
thée
well
:
and
for
that
it
is
day
already
,
I
am
desirous
to
sée
how
thou
wilt
accomplish
that
which
thou
hast
promised
.
Thereupon
hee
presently
sent
vnto
all
the
Officers
of
the
Field
,
that
they
should
march
forwards
vnto
the
place
where
the
enemie
lay
.
It
was
a
wonderfull
thing
to
sée
so
great
and
mightie
a
campe
to
remoue
,
and
I
suppose
,
that
whosoeuer
had
séene
them
,
would
haue
béen
abashed
.
The
Generall
caused
me
to
go
on
the
one
side
by
himselfe
,
by
the
way
asking
me
what
order
I
meant
to
hold
in
the
entring
of
the
caue
.
I
told
him
counterfetting
and
faining
manie
stratagems
and
deuices
.
Meane
time
we
approached
néere
vnto
the
place
where
the
Centinels
stood
about
the
Rocke
,
and
to
Captaine
Licio
,
that
had
sent
me
vnto
the
Generall
:
who
at
that
time
was
in
verie
good
order
about
the
rocke
,
holding
each
place
about
the
caue
straightly
besieged
.
And
yet
all
this
notwithstanding
,
not
one
of
them
durst
once
be
so
hardie
as
to
approach
néere
vnto
the
entrie
of
the
same
,
by
reason
that
the
Generall
had
sent
speciall
commaundement
to
the
contrarie
,
thereby
to
auoyd
the
damage
that
Lazarus
did
vnto
them
:
because
that
at
such
time
as
I
was
conuerted
into
a
Tonny
fish
,
I
let
the
sword
stand
vpright
in
the
entrie
of
the
Caue
,
and
in
such
manner
as
I
helde
it
in
my
hands
when
I
was
a
man
,
which
the
Tonnyes
saw
,
fearing
that
their
enemie
helde
it
in
his
hands
,
and
that
hee
stood
right
before
the
entrie
of
the
caue
.
As
we
approached
néere
vnto
the
place
,
I
said
vnto
the
Generall
,
it
were
good
hee
should
commaund
those
that
held
centinell
and
siege
about
the
caue
to
depart
,
and
that
he
with
al
the
rest
should
withdraw
themselues
from
thence
;
which
was
presently
done
.
I
did
that
,
because
they
should
not
perceiue
the
little
labor
I
had
to
enter
into
the
caue
.
Then
I
(
being
alone
)
gaue
great
and
liuely
flashes
in
the
water
,
and
skipping
vp
vnto
the
mouth
of
the
caue
,
I
made
a
shew
of
some
great
thing
I
ment
to
doo
:
meane
time
that
I
did
this
,
the
report
went
among
them
,
that
I
had
begun
to
enter
into
the
caue
,
but
said
they
,
he
will
be
slaine
as
well
as
others
(
altogether
as
hardie
and
bold
as
he
)
haue
béen
:
let
him
alone
,
for
assure
your selues
,
you
shal
sée
his
lustines
well
cooled
in
the
end
.
In
the
mean
time
I
made
show
as
though
some
resistance
had
bin
made
against
me
out
of
the
caue
,
&
that
the
enemie
thrust
at
me
,
as
he
had
done
at
others
,
whereat
I
made
as
though
I
skipped
with
my
bodie
from
the
one
side
to
the
other
.
And
as
the
Armie
stood
in
this
amaze
,
they
had
not
the
wits
to
perceiue
that
which
in
truth
was
not
to
be
perceiued
:
sometime
I
approached
vnto
the
caue
,
and
assailed
it
with
most
great
force
,
making
as
though
I
fought
,
and
then
againe
I
retired
as
I
did
before
:
which
I
did
onely
to
make
a
shew
of
great
matter
,
where
none
was
.
After
I
had
done
this
thrée
or
foure
times
,
standing
somewhat
distant
from
the
caue
,
I
began
to
roare
with
a
loud
voice
,
to
that
end
the
General
and
the
whole
Armie
might
heare
me
,
saying
:
O
miserable
man
,
thinkest
thou
that
thou
canst
defend
thy selfe
against
the
great
power
of
our
puissaunt
Lord
and
and
King
,
and
against
his
valiant
Captaine
generall
,
with
those
of
his
mightie
Armie
?
Thinkest
thou
to
escape
from
hence
,
without
being
punished
for
thy
great
boldnes
,
and
the
great
murthers
,
which
by
thy
meanes
haue
béen
done
vpon
our
frends
and
companions
?
Yéelde
,
yéeld
thy selfe
(
I
say
)
a
prisoner
vnto
the
valiant
and
great
Generall
,
and
it
may
bee
hee
will
bee
mercifull
vnto
thée
.
Yéeld
thine
Armes
,
which
haue
so
well
serued
thée
at
this
present
,
and
come
forth
of
thy
strong
Hold
wherein
thou
art
,
for
it
will
little
auaile
thée
to
tarrie
there
,
and
put
thy selfe
into
his
power
,
with
whom
for
power
none
within
the
whole
compasse
of
the
seas
may
once
compare
.
I
,
(
as
I
say
)
giuing
these
great
and
threatening
speaches
vnto
poore
Lazarus
,
&
all
to
fill
the
eares
of
the
hearers
thereby
to
incourage
them
,
as
men
are
accustomed
to
doo
,
béeing
a
thing
wherein
they
take
much
pleasure
:
a
Tonny
came
vnto
me
from
the
Generall
,
willing
me
to
come
presently
vnto
him
:
with
whom
I
went
,
and
at
my
approaching
,
I
found
both
him
and
all
the
rest
almost
dead
with
laughter
,
and
such
was
the
noyse
that
they
made
,
that
one
could
not
heare
the
other
by
meanes
thereof
:
but
as
I
appeared
before
him
,
beeing
much
amazed
at
such
an
alteration
,
the
Generall
commaunded
that
each
man
should
bee
quyet
:
whereat
some
silence
was
made
,
although
the
most
part
of
them
began
againe
to
laugh
,
till
at
the
last
,
with
much
paine
,
the
Generall
said
vnto
me
:
Companion
,
if
thou
holdest
no
other
method
in
entring
the
Fort
of
our
Enemie
,
than
that
thou
hast
alreadie
showen
,
neither
shalt
thou
accomplish
thy
promise
,
nor
I
be
anie
thing
the
wiser
in
standing
to
trust
vpon
thée
:
which
maketh
me
the
more
to
suspect
it
,
in
that
I
haue
onely
séene
thée
to
assaile
the
entrie
of
the
Caue
,
and
yet
thou
didst
not
enter
:
and
more
,
that
thou
beginnest
to
perswade
our
aduersarie
by
speach
,
which
euerie
one
can
doo
as
well
as
thou
.
So
that
as
farre
as
I
and
these
the
rest
of
my
Campanie
can
perceiue
,
thou
wouldest
be
verie
glad
to
be
well
rid
of
so
dangerous
an
action
.
Whereby
it
séemeth
most
apparant
and
euident
vnto
vs
,
that
all
this
time
is
but
lost
,
and
these
words
spent
vainly
to
the
winde
,
because
I
am
certaine
by
this
meanes
thou
canst
not
in
a
thousand
yeares
accomplish
that
which
thou
desirest
,
or
hast
said
that
thou
couldest
doo
:
and
for
this
cause
wee
laughed
at
thée
,
and
surely
our
laughter
is
not
without
iust
cause
,
to
sée
thée
stand
prating
vnto
him
,
as
if
thou
wert
some
iolly
fellow
:
and
then
they
all
began
againe
to
laugh
at
me
.
With
this
I
found
mine
owne
want
,
and
said
within
my selfe
,
If
God
had
not
preserued
me
to
some
other
end
than
to
féed
those
fooles
,
the
vnaccustomed
manner
of
behauiour
that
I
vsed
as
a
Tonnie
,
would
haue
béen
cause
of
my
decaye
:
which
was
specially
by
reason
that
I
had
onely
their
forme
and
not
their
nature
.
But
I
séeking
to
amend
mine
error
,
answered
:
My
Lord
,
when
anie
man
is
desirous
to
effectuate
that
which
hee
hath
in
minde
to
doo
,
it
happeneth
vnto
him
as
it
doth
vnto
mee
.
Whereat
the
Generall
and
all
the
rest
began
againe
to
laugh
,
saying
,
Alas
poore
man
thou
art
deceiued
,
for
thou
shouldest
haue
answered
vnto
mee
(
as
it
is
true
)
that
thou
fearest
,
that
in
stead
of
renting
his
cloathes
,
he
will
teare
thy
bodie
.
With
that
hee
left
off
speaking
for
that
time
.
Wherewith
I
seeing
that
still
my
want
of
behauiour
appeared
,
and
perceiuing
that
with
a
few
more
of
such
checks
I
might
soone
be
mated
,
I
began
also
to
laugh
with
them
for
companie
,
but
God
knowes
I
grinned
with
no
small
feare
,
which
at
that
time
I
had
:
and
therewith
I
said
vnto
the
Generall
,
My
Lord
,
it
may
please
you
not
to
thinke
that
my
feare
is
such
as
some
of
you
doo
presume
,
because
that
hauing
to
doo
with
a
man
,
you
thinke
that
the
tongue
vttereth
that
which
the
heart
meaneth
:
but
it
séemeth
vnto
me
,
that
I
stay
ouer
long
to
accomplish
my
promise
,
and
to
take
vengeance
in
your
behalfe
of
this
our
enemie
,
wherefore
with
your
Honours
license
I
would
willingly
craue
that
I
might
returne
to
make
an
ende
of
my
enterprise
.
Thou
hast
thy
request
said
he
.
Then
I
with
no
little
shame
and
feare
returned
towards
the
caue
,
thinking
thereafter
(
as
it
touched
me
néere
)
to
be
wiser
and
circumspecter
in
my
speach
.
And
approaching
vnto
the
Caue
,
I
made
as
though
I
had
bene
striken
,
and
faining
to
retire
,
I
skipped
sodeinly
vnto
the
entery
of
the
hole
,
and
tooke
that
with
my
mouth
,
which
at
other
times
I
vsed
to
doe
with
my
handes
:
which
done
,
I
studied
,
thinking
with
my selfe
,
whether
it
were
best
for
mee
to
enter
into
the
Caue
,
or
to
go
and
deliuer
the
Sword
vnto
the
Generall
,
to
whome
I
had
promised
the
same
.
In
the
ende
I
considered
,
that
if
I
should
go
in
,
I
might
peraduenture
be
accused
of
theft
,
saying
,
that
I
had
eaten
him
,
séeing
hee
was
not
there
to
bee
found
,
which
had
bene
a
thing
worthie
of
punishment
.
At
the
last
I
turned
my selfe
vnto
the
Army
,
the
which
I
praied
to
help
me
,
because
they
had
séene
me
recouer
the
sword
,
and
yet
to
shewe
more
courage
,
hauing
gotten
it
vpon
the
rocke
,
then
when
I
tooke
it
at
the
mouth
of
the
Caue
,
I
skirmished
with
the
same
,
wreathing
&
turning
my
mouth
,
looking
on
all
sides
both
backward
and
foreward
,
and
comming
vnto
the
Generall
,
with
humble
salutation
,
holding
the
sword
as
well
as
I
could
,
(
by
the
hilts
)
in
my
mouth
,
I
said
;
Valiant
Captain
,
Behold
here
the
Armes
of
our
cruell
enemy
,
from
this
time
forth
there
is
no
cause
of
feare
,
why
we
should
not
enter
into
the
Caue
,
séeing
he
hath
not
any
thing
wherewith
to
defend
the
same
.
You
haue
(
saide
he
)
done
like
a
valiaunt
Tonny
,
and
assure
your selfe
you
shall
be
well
rewarded
for
so
great
a
péece
of
seruice
,
and
for
because
with
so
great
valour
and
hardinesse
,
you
haue
gotten
the
sword
,
and
that
it
séemeth
vnto
me
,
you
can
better
skill
of
it
then
the
rest
of
vs
,
I
pray
you
holde
it
still
vntill
we
haue
gotten
this
vnhappie
and
wicked
traitor
into
our
hands
.
With
that
an
infinit
nomber
of
the
Tonnies
went
vnto
the
mouth
of
the
Caue
,
but
yet
not
one
of
them
durst
be
so
bold
to
enter
into
the
same
,
because
they
feared
that
he
was
not
without
a
poniard
,
then
I
profered
my selfe
to
be
the
first
that
wold
venture
for
to
enter
,
so
that
some
of
them
would
follow
and
assist
me
:
and
this
I
desired
,
onely
because
I
meant
to
haue
witnesses
of
my
innocency
,
but
such
was
the
feare
whiche
they
had
of
Lazarus
,
that
not
one
of
them
sought
to
follow
me
,
although
the
Generall
promised
great
gifts
vnto
him
that
should
second
me
.
The
thing
standing
in
this
point
,
the
Generall
asked
mee
,
what
I
thought
best
to
bee
done
therein
,
séeing
not
one
of
them
was
desirous
to
beare
me
companie
in
that
dangerous
entrance
.
I
answered
,
that
for
his
seruice
I
would
venter
to
enter
therein
my selfe
alone
,
so
they
would
assure
mee
the
entrie
,
and
that
they
should
not
feare
to
stand
by
me
.
Hée
said
it
should
be
so
,
and
if
so
be
that
those
which
were
there
durst
not
doo
it
,
he
promised
to
follow
me
himselfe
.
In
the
meane
time
Capiaine
Licio
came
vnto
vs
,
and
said
that
he
would
enter
in
with
me
:
wherewith
I
began
to
skirmish
on
all
sides
of
the
caue
with
my
sword
,
and
to
giue
diuers
fierce
prickes
with
the
same
,
and
at
the
last
skipped
in
,
crying
with
a
lowd
voyce
,
Victoria
,
Victoria
,
God
saue
the
the
great
sea
,
with
her
great
and
puissant
inhabitants
of
the
same
,
and
confound
those
which
dwell
vpon
the
Land
.
With
these
cries
(
although
but
full
euill
fauouredly
vttered
)
Captaine
Licio
(
of
whom
I
spake
before
)
entred
after
me
,
who
at
that
day
wan
much
renowne
,
and
recouered
with
mee
much
credite
,
in
showing
himselfe
so
hardie
and
valiant
aboue
the
rest
:
yet
it
séemed
vnto
me
,
that
one
witnes
was
not
sufficient
to
discharge
mee
,
and
therefore
not
leauing
the
entrie
of
the
caue
,
I
desired
more
helpe
:
but
all
in
vaine
was
my
request
,
for
the
diuell
take
them
all
,
not
one
of
them
durst
once
venter
to
enter
.
And
surely
they
were
not
greatly
to
be
blamed
therein
,
for
I
assure
yee
in
my
conscience
that
I
my selfe
should
haue
done
as
much
,
if
I
had
thought
the
thing
to
bee
as
they
tooke
it
,
(
for
what
should
a
man
doo
but
speake
the
truth
)
:
but
for
mee
,
I
entred
therein
,
as
into
mine
owne
house
,
knowing
very
well
before
,
that
there
was
not
so
much
as
a
snayle
within
the
same
.
Then
I
began
to
animate
them
thereunto
,
saying
,
O
mightie
,
great
and
valiant
Tonnyes
,
show
foorth
this
day
your
force
and
accustomed
boldnes
,
séeing
that
such
an
occasion
is
offered
,
whereby
you
may
win
honour
and
renowne
.
Are
you
not
ashamed
to
show
so
little
courage
?
Know
yee
not
that
your
Enemies
will
from
hencefoorth
estéeme
but
little
of
yee
,
when
they
shall
sée
and
vnderstand
your
small
courage
?
With
these
and
other
things
spoken
vnto
them
by
mee
,
the
Generall
himselfe
(
although
with
more
shame
than
otherwise
)
entered
in
,
crying
,
Peace
,
peace
:
by
which
words
I
vnderstood
verie
well
,
that
hee
brought
not
all
in
with
him
,
séeing
that
in
time
of
so
great
warres
,
he
proclaimed
peace
.
As
soone
as
he
was
entred
,
he
willed
the
rest
to
enter
,
which
I
thinke
entred
full
euill
against
their
wills
:
but
when
they
perceiued
not
poore
Lazarus
,
nor
yet
anie
defence
against
them
,
although
I
gaue
great
blowes
and
thrusts
against
the
sides
of
the
caue
with
my
sword
,
they
were
all
amazed
.
And
the
Generall
was
ashamed
of
the
small
companie
that
approached
to
helpe
me
and
Captaine
Licio

CHAP.
III.
How
after
that
Lazarus
with
all
the
Tonnyes
had
entered
in
the
caue
,
and
finding
nothing
therein
but
Lazrroes
cloathes
,
there
entred
so
manie
,
that
they
thought
to
be
smothered
therein
:
and
what
remedie
Lazarus
deuised
for
the
same
.
SEarch
hauing
béen
made
round
about
the
Caue
,
wee
found
the
apparell
of
the
valiant
Tonny
Lazarus
de
Tormes
,
for
they
were
left
behinde
me
when
I
was
turned
into
a
fish
:
yet
when
I
saw
them
I
was
in
no
small
feare
,
doubting
least
my
poore
bodie
had
béen
still
within
them
,
and
that
the
foule
onely
had
béen
turned
into
a
Tonny
:
but
as
God
would
I
found
not
my selfe
there
,
and
then
I
knew
assuredly
,
that
both
in
bodie
and
soule
I
was
turned
into
a
fish
.
Yet
I
was
not
well
in
my
minde
,
because
neuerthelesse
I
felt
no
small
paine
,
and
it
gréeued
mee
in
my
verie
flesh
,
to
sée
those
garments
that
had
fitted
my
bodie
so
well
beeing
a
man
,
to
bee
so
iniuriously
torne
and
plucked
in
péeces
by
those
which
did
it
with
so
good
a
will
,
and
yet
I
was
constrained
to
do
the
like
my self
,
because
I
would
not
séeme
to
vary
from
those
of
my
company
,
thereby
offering
occasion
to
be
perceiued
.
At
this
fight
the
Generall
and
the
rest
being
astonished
,
and
looking
rounde
about
verie
circumspectly
,
yet
not
without
feare
,
although
they
desired
to
méete
with
that
which
they
founde
,
after
that
they
had
well
searched
and
compassed
the
litle
Caue
,
the
Captaine
Generall
spake
,
asking
me
what
I
thought
as
touching
the
not
finding
of
our
aduersary
there
.
My
Lord
said
I
,
without
doubt
,
I
thinke
verely
this
was
no
man
,
but
rather
some
diuel
,
which
tooke
the
shape
of
a
man
vpon
him
,
for
our
destruction
and
domage
;
for
that
who
euer
sawe
,
or
heard
it
reported
,
that
the
bodie
of
a
man
could
sustain
it selfe
so
long
time
vnder
the
water
,
or
yet
coulde
doe
as
this
man
hath
done
,
and
in
the
ende
holding
him
enclosed
in
such
a
place
as
this
is
,
and
standing
so
neare
as
we
did
,
he
to
haue
escaped
in
the
sight
of
vs
all
.
I
hauing
said
my
opinion
,
and
being
readie
to
make
an
ende
thereof
,
there
happened
a
greater
daunger
vnto
vs
,
which
was
,
that
as
the
Tonnies
that
were
without
,
began
to
enter
into
the
Caue
,
they
came
in
so
fast
,
perceiuing
themselues
to
bee
deliuered
of
their
enemie
,
and
to
get
part
of
the
spoile
,
as
also
to
bee
reuenged
of
the
murthers
,
hee
had
committed
vpon
their
companions
and
friends
,
that
when
we
looked
about
vs
,
the
Caue
was
so
full
,
that
from
the
very
bottome
vnto
the
toppe
,
men
could
scarce
finde
any
space
within
the
same
,
but
that
all
was
full
of
Tonnies
,
and
so
heaped
one
vpon
the
other
,
that
we
were
almost
all
smothered
to
death
:
for
as
I
said
before
,
there
was
no
ende
of
their
entering
in
,
vntill
suche
time
as
the
Generall
began
to
deuise
how
he
might
remedie
the
matter
,
in
such
sort
,
that
he
perceiuing
the
necessitie
of
the
case
,
and
the
great
perill
wherein
wee
stood
,
saide
vnto
me
,
My
stout
and
valiant
companion
,
what
meanes
shall
we
finde
for
to
get
out
from
hence
with
our
liues
,
séeing
as
thou
séeest
the
daunger
beginneth
more
and
more
to
encrease
,
and
yet
we
are
all
in
a
maner
smothered
to
death
?
My
Lord
said
I
,
the
best
remedie
will
be
,
if
these
which
are
here
before
vs
could
giue
vs
place
,
that
I
might
get
vnto
the
entery
of
the
Caue
,
and
defend
it
with
my
sword
that
no
more
might
enter
in
,
these
that
are
in
might
go
forth
,
and
we
likewise
with
them
,
al
without
daunger
.
But
that
is
impossible
,
because
there
are
so
many
Tonnies
vpon
vs
,
and
you
shall
sée
,
that
all
this
notwithstanding
,
they
cannot
let
,
but
that
still
there
will
more
enter
in
,
because
that
he
which
is
without
,
thinketh
that
those
that
are
here
within
,
are
diuiding
the
spoiles
,
and
desire
their
part
thereof
,
so
that
there
is
but
one
onely
remedie
to
helpe
vs
:
which
is
,
if
for
to
escape
,
your
honor
thinke
it
good
that
some
of
these
that
are
within
should
die
,
because
that
to
make
roome
for
your
honour
it
cannot
bee
done
without
hurt
vnto
the
rest
:
séeing
it
is
so
(
said
he
)
it
is
good
to
saue
the
best
and
loose
the
worst
,
that
all
the
rest
may
reioyce
.
Séeing
that
you
(
said
I
)
doth
commaund
it
as
hauing
authoritie
,
it
may
please
your
honor
to
discharge
me
in
this
action
from
all
damage
that
may
happen
vnto
me
thereby
.
There
shall
not
only
(
said
he
)
not
any
harme
be
done
vnto
thée
,
but
also
I
promise
thée
,
that
for
thy
paines
thou
shalt
bee
well
rewarded
:
for
in
such
extremities
it
is
a
great
benefit
vnto
the
armie
that
the
Captain
should
be
saued
,
and
I
had
rather
saue
one
scale
of
my self
then
any
subiect
vnder
me
.
O
Captains
said
I
vnto
my selfe
,
which
make
small
account
of
other
mens
liues
,
so
you
may
saue
your
owne
,
many
there
be
that
do
as
this
Captaine
doth
,
but
how
farre
different
are
suche
mens
actions
from
that
which
I
haue
heard
reported
of
one
Paulus
Decius
,
a
noble
Romane
Captaine
,
when
the
Latins
conspired
against
the
Romanes
,
and
both
the
armies
being
readie
to
ioyne
,
the
night
before
the
battaile
should
be
,
the
saide
Decius
dreamed
,
that
it
was
ordeined
by
the
Gods
,
that
if
he
died
in
the
battaile
,
the
Romanes
should
ouercome
and
get
the
victorie
against
the
Latins
,
and
if
otherwise
hee
were
saued
and
escaped
,
then
the
Romanes
should
bee
ouerthrowne
,
and
the
first
thing
he
did
,
(
when
the
battailes
began
to
ioyne
)
was
to
set
himselfe
in
such
a
dangerous
place
,
that
he
could
not
by
any
meanes
escape
with
his
life
,
because
the
Romans
should
be
victors
,
and
so
they
were
:
but
our
great
Generall
Tonney
,
did
not
followe
him
in
this
pointe
.
Then
I
considering
of
the
securitie
which
hée
promised
me
,
and
the
great
necessitie
that
vrged
me
thereunto
,
togither
with
the
meanes
I
then
might
haue
to
bee
reuenged
of
the
euill
entertainment
and
straunge
lodging
wherein
these
wicked
and
peruerse
Tonnies
had
put
mee
.
I
began
to
flourish
with
my
sworde
,
and
to
strike
the
best
I
coulde
both
on
the
left
and
on
the
right
side
,
saying
,
Foorth
,
foorth
,
you
vndiscréete
Tonnies
,
whiche
smother
our
noble
Captaine
in
this
Caue
,
and
then
striking
and
thrusting
both
backward
and
forward
,
in
a
short
time
,
I
dispatched
no
small
number
of
them
,
not
regarding
,
or
respecting
any
one
,
but
only
Captaine
Licio
,
who
for
that
I
perceiue
his
good
will
towards
me
in
entring
of
the
Caue
,
I
bare
some
affection
vnto
him
,
and
to
say
truth
I
loued
him
very
well
,
whereby
I
lost
nothing
,
as
hereafter
shall
bee
showne
:
At
the
whiche
sight
,
those
that
were
within
the
Caue
,
séeing
the
great
slaughter
,
beganne
to
dislodge
,
and
looke
with
howe
great
a
force
they
entered
,
they
issued
foorth
with
a
greater
.
Which
newes
when
those
that
were
without
knew
,
and
sawe
some
of
their
companions
issue
foorth
bléeding
,
as
being
wounded
,
they
sought
no
more
to
enter
,
and
by
that
meanes
they
left
vs
alone
with
the
dead
Tonnies
,
whereby
I
placed
my selfe
at
the
mouth
of
the
Caue
,
and
then
beganne
to
giue
diuerse
fierce
thrustes
out
of
the
same
.
And
in
my
opinion
I
thought
my selfe
as
nimble
with
my
sword
which
then
I
held
in
my
téethe
,
as
when
I
vsed
to
holde
it
in
my
hand
.
After
that
,
I
hauing
dispatched
our
Generall
and
those
that
were
with
him
out
of
trouble
and
smothering
,
they
beganne
to
suppe
of
the
water
whiche
at
that
present
time
was
turned
into
blood
:
And
likewise
to
teare
,
rent
,
and
eate
,
those
miserable
dead
Tonnies
that
I
had
slaine
.
Which
I
perceiuing
,
beganne
to
beare
them
company
,
and
yet
it
séemed
newes
vnto
me
to
handle
them
in
that
sort
,
although
I
had
eaten
of
them
before
in
Toledo
,
but
not
so
freshe
as
I
eate
them
then
:
and
in
that
manner
I
filled
my selfe
with
great
store
of
swéete
and
sauourie
Fishe
,
not
letting
to
doo
it
,
notwithstanding
all
the
great
and
terrible
threatenings
,
that
those
which
were
without
made
against
me
for
the
damage
I
had
done
among
them
.
Hauing
ended
our
banquet
,
when
the
Generall
thought
it
conuenient
time
,
we
issued
foorth
,
I
giuing
him
to
vnderstand
of
the
euill
will
and
meaning
that
those
whiche
were
without
had
against
mée
,
that
his
excellencie
might
prouide
for
my
safetie
and
securitie
.
Hée
going
foorth
well
satisfied
and
filled
,
(
at
which
time
they
said
it
is
best
hauing
to
do
with
great
lords
)
caused
it
to
bee
proclaimed
openly
,
that
whosoeuer
were
enemies
either
in
word
or
déede
vnto
the
valiaunt
straunger
Tonny
,
that
they
should
die
for
it
,
and
that
they
and
their
heires
shoulde
bee
alwaies
holden
and
accounted
for
Traytors
,
and
that
their
goods
should
bee
confiscated
vnto
the
Kings
vse
:
for
if
the
saide
straunger
Tonny
did
them
any
damage
or
hurt
,
it
was
because
they
were
Rebelles
,
and
had
broken
the
Commission
of
their
Captaine
,
and
by
their
negligent
ouersight
,
had
put
him
in
great
daunger
of
death
:
With
whiche
Proclamation
euerie
one
séemed
to
bee
content
,
and
agreed
that
those
which
died
in
the
Caue
,
by
that
meanes
had
well
deserued
the
same
,
and
that
the
liuing
should
from
thencefoorth
put
vp
the
quarrell
,
and
liue
in
peace
.
This
done
,
the
Generall
caused
all
the
other
Captaines
,
maisters
of
the
fielde
,
and
vnder
Officers
,
whiche
had
anie
charge
of
the
Armie
,
to
bee
called
togither
,
willing
as
many
of
them
as
had
not
beene
within
the
Caue
,
to
goe
in
,
and
to
diuide
the
spoyle
they
shoulde
finde
among
them
,
which
was
soone
done
,
for
there
were
so
many
that
they
had
scarce
euerie
one
a
morsell
of
a
Tonny
.
They
comming
foorth
,
because
they
though
it
good
,
that
euerie
one
should
haue
his
part
of
the
spoyle
,
proclaimed
openly
,
that
eache
one
might
enter
who
woulde
,
whiche
the
common
sorte
did
soone
performe
,
for
anie
thing
that
was
to
bee
founde
there
,
vnlesse
it
were
certaine
droppes
of
blood
,
and
Lazarus
cloathes
.
Héere
I
haue
set
downe
for
a
perpetuall
memorie
,
the
crueltie
of
these
Fishes
,
and
howe
farre
differente
the
state
of
man
is
,
from
this
of
theirs
.
For
put
the
case
that
here
vppon
earth
there
be
diuerse
men
to
be
founde
dwelling
,
which
séeke
after
some
cunning
sort
,
and
in
some
couetous
maner
to
deuoure
their
neighbours
goods
,
which
I
doubt
are
more
to
be
founde
at
this
present
,
then
hath
bene
heretofore
,
by
reason
that
mens
consciences
are
now
far
larger
than
they
haue
bene
in
times
past
,
yet
there
are
none
such
to
be
found
that
are
so
void
of
reason
or
humanitie
,
that
they
doo
,
or
would
eate
their
neighbors
flesh
.
Wherefore
such
men
as
daily
do
complaine
of
certaine
wrongs
and
iniuries
done
vnto
them
vpon
earth
,
let
them
(
say
I
)
come
vnto
the
seas
,
and
they
shall
soone
perceiue
those
things
to
be
bread
and
hony
which
they
complaine
of
,
in
respect
of
that
which
is
to
be
found
among
the
fishes
.

IIII.
Lazarus
sheweth
what
an
euill
rewarde
the
Generall
of
the
Tonnies
gaue
him
for
his
seruice
,
and
of
the
friendship
he
entered
into
with
Captaine
Licius
.
BVut
returning
vnto
the
matter
,
the
next
day
after
,
the
Generall
being
in
his
Chamber
,
tooke
me
aside
,
and
said
vnto
me
,
Valiant
and
stout
straunger
Tonny
,
I
haue
determined
with
my selfe
,
that
thy
good
seruices
and
counsels
shall
be
well
rewarded
,
for
if
suche
as
thou
art
seruing
as
thou
haste
done
,
should
not
be
rewarded
,
there
would
none
be
found
in
great
armies
,
that
would
venture
their
persons
in
any
daungerous
seruice
:
wherefore
in
respect
thereof
,
thou
shalt
from
henceforth
be
assured
of
our
fauour
and
good
wil
,
and
withall
thou
shalt
be
fréely
pardoned
,
of
all
the
murthers
and
massacres
by
thée
committed
vppon
our
souldiers
and
companions
within
the
Caue
,
and
in
memorie
of
the
good
seruice
thou
didst
in
my
behalfe
,
deliuering
me
from
the
perill
of
death
,
thou
shalt
possesse
and
enioy
(
as
thine
owne
proper
good
)
this
sword
wherewith
thou
hast
done
vs
so
much
damage
,
because
I
sée
thou
canst
manage
it
so
well
,
(
but
yet
with
this
prouiso
,
)
that
if
with
the
same
thou
shalt
hereafter
commit
any
violence
,
or
do
any
wrong
vnto
our
subiects
,
and
the
naturall
Tonnies
of
our
soueraigne
Lord
the
King
,
thou
shalt
die
for
it
,
and
herewith
it
séemeth
vnto
me
thou
art
well
rewarded
,
and
from
henceforth
thou
maist
returne
vnto
the
place
from
whence
thou
didst
come
.
And
so
showing
me
no
great
good
countenance
,
he
left
me
,
and
went
vnto
the
rest
of
his
companie
.
Wherwith
hearing
him
vtter
such
speaches
vnto
mee
,
I
was
so
astonished
,
that
I
stood
almost
without
either
sense
or
féeling
,
because
I
looked
(
at
the
least
)
hee
should
haue
made
me
some
great
man
(
I
should
haue
said
a
Tonny
)
for
my
good
seruice
,
giuing
me
a
charge
during
my
life
of
some
great
Signiory
in
the
sea
,
as
he
before
had
offered
vnto
me
.
O
Alexander
said
I
vnto
my selfe
,
thou
didst
distribute
and
spred
among
thy
souldiers
such
spoyles
and
riches
as
thou
wonst
from
thine
enemies
:
I
haue
likewise
heard
of
Caius
Fabritius
,
a
Romane
Captaine
,
in
what
manner
hee
rewarded
and
crowned
those
which
first
did
aduenture
themselues
to
enter
into
the
Listes
:
and
thou
Gonzago
Hernandes
General
of
the
Spaniards
,
didst
giue
other
manner
of
rewards
vnto
such
as
séeking
to
resemble
the
braue
souldier
in
the
seruice
of
their
King
,
and
to
augment
thine
honour
,
did
put
themselues
into
all
hazards
of
the
field
:
for
that
all
such
as
did
serue
and
follow
thée
,
to
how
many
of
them
didst
thou
giue
great
rewards
?
that
of
poore
and
néedy
souldiers
thou
madest
them
both
valiant
and
rich
:
not
as
this
vnworthie
Tonny
doth
,
rewarding
me
with
that
,
which
in
Cocodouer
had
cost
mee
but
thrée
royalls
and
a
halfe
.
Let
those
therefore
that
complaine
of
great
Lords
vppon
earth
,
comfort
themselues
herein
,
séeing
that
in
the
déepe
seas
there
are
such
small
rewards
bestowed
by
great
Lords
.
I
standing
in
this
sort
,
thus
pensiue
and
sad
,
Captaine
Licio
perceiuing
it
,
came
vnto
me
,
and
said
:
Sir
,
to
such
as
trust
in
great
Lords
&
Captaines
,
it
hapneth
oftentimes
as
it
doth
vnto
thée
:
for
they
,
standing
in
néed
of
other
mens
aid
,
doo
make
manie
great
promises
,
but
being
deliuered
out
of
danger
,
they
doo
not
once
so
much
as
remember
their
promise
made
.
I
my selfe
am
witnes
of
thy
great
and
good
seruice
,
and
of
all
thou
hast
so
valiantly
done
,
as
he
that
hath
béen
present
by
thée
,
and
I
sée
likewise
the
euill
reward
that
thy
valour
and
prowesse
hath
receiued
,
besides
the
great
perill
wherein
thou
art
:
wherefore
I
am
desirous
thou
shouldst
vnderstand
,
that
manie
of
these
which
are
heere
present
before
thée
,
doo
among
themselues
conspire
thy
death
.
Therefore
I
will
not
that
thou
depart
out
of
my
companie
,
for
that
I
am
bound
to
doo
for
thée
as
for
mine
owne
childe
,
and
to
fauour
and
aid
thée
:
not
onely
with
mine
owne
,
but
also
with
the
aid
of
my
frends
,
to
the
vttermost
of
our
powers
,
for
it
should
be
a
most
great
damage
,
to
loose
so
valiant
and
hardie
a
fish
as
thou
art
.
For
the
which
his
great
curtesie
,
I
rendred
him
most
hartie
thankes
,
withall
accepting
of
his
gentle
and
courteous
offer
made
vnto
me
:
in
lieu
whereof
I
presented
my
small
abilitie
vnto
him
,
offring
to
be
readie
at
all
times
to
doo
him
what
seruice
I
could
:
and
wherewith
hee
séemed
to
be
so
well
content
,
that
presently
he
called
vnto
him
fiftéene
hundred
Tonnyes
of
his
Regiment
,
willing
them
from
that
time
forward
to
take
charge
to
guard
me
,
and
to
beare
mee
companie
in
such
manner
as
vnto
himselfe
:
so
that
neither
night
nor
day
they
did
once
depart
from
me
,
&
that
they
did
verie
willingly
,
for
there
were
not
manie
among
them
that
hated
mee
:
and
as
I
supposed
,
there
was
no
small
number
among
the
rest
of
the
great
Armie
,
which
did
beare
mee
good
will
,
by
reason
that
they
beheld
me
at
such
time
as
we
fought
to
show
forth
my
great
valour
and
force
.
In
this
manner
Captaine
Licio
and
I
entered
into
league
and
frendship
,
which
we
shewed
by
no
small
signes
one
vnto
the
other
,
as
after
you
shall
heare
.
Of
him
I
learned
manie
things
touching
the
customes
and
manners
of
the
inhabitants
of
the
Seas
,
together
with
the
names
and
prouinces
,
kingdomes
and
signiories
of
the
same
,
and
the
names
of
the
Lords
and
Gouernors
thereof
.
In
such
sort
,
that
in
short
space
he
made
me
as
experient
in
them
,
or
rather
more
,
than
the
naturall
Tonnyes
themselues
:
for
that
I
could
better
discourse
vppon
them
,
than
they
were
able
to
doo
.
Not
long
after
,
our
Campe
brake
vp
,
and
the
Generall
willed
that
each
Captaine
should
depart
,
and
that
within
two
months
after
all
the
Captaines
should
repaire
againe
vnto
the
Court
,
for
it
was
the
Kings
pleasure
.
Wherewith
my
frend
and
I
departed
,
and
all
his
Companie
,
which
(
to
my
iudgement
)
were
about
ten
thousand
Tonnyes
:
among
the
which
there
were
not
aboue
ten
Females
,
and
those
were
labouring
Tonnyes
,
such
as
among
Souldiers
are
accustomed
to
wash
and
get
their
liuing
.
There
I
saw
the
deuises
that
those
Fishes
vsed
to
finde
out
meate
to
sustaine
themselues
:
which
is
in
this
manner
.
They
scatter
and
spread
themselues
abroad
on
all
sides
in
certain
places
,
each
Companie
holding
the
circuite
of
a
league
and
more
,
and
if
it
fortune
that
two
Companies
doo
chaunce
to
méete
,
they
turne
their
heads
one
against
the
other
,
making
forward
to
ioyne
together
,
and
all
the
Fishes
which
they
take
in
the
midst
betwéene
them
,
are
sure
to
die
,
and
to
bee
torne
in
péeces
with
their
téeth
.
And
in
this
manner
doo
they
hunt
twice
or
thrice
euerie
day
,
as
they
chaunce
to
issue
foorth
.
Thus
we
filled
our
bellies
with
great
store
of
swéete
and
sauerie
fishes
,
verefying
the
olde
Prouerbe
,
which
saith
,
that
the
great
fishes
deuoure
the
small
:
for
that
if
in
our
circuite
we
found
anie
greater
fishes
than
our selues
,
wee
presently
gaue
them
a
pasport
,
suffering
them
to
passe
away
without
anie
brabling
,
vnlesse
they
desired
to
remaine
with
vs
,
helping
vs
to
kill
&
eate
other
Fishes
,
according
vnto
the
common
saying
,
Hee
that
taketh
no
paines
for
his
liuing
,
is
not
worthie
to
eate
.
At
one
time
among
others
,
we
tooke
certaine
Cuttle
fishes
,
whereof
,
the
biggest
among
the
rest
I
saued
and
kept
for
my
slaue
,
and
made
him
my
page
to
beare
my
sword
:
by
which
meanes
I
had
my
mouth
at
libertie
,
and
not
cumbred
with
the
same
,
and
my
Page
turning
one
of
his
sinnes
backward
(
in
manner
of
a
ring
)
carried
it
verie
easely
at
his
pleasure
,
ietting
and
bragging
among
the
rest
.
In
this
manner
wee
trauelled
for
the
space
of
eight
Sunnes
,
(
for
that
in
the
Sea
the
dayes
are
so
called
)
at
the
ende
whereof
wee
drew
néere
vnto
the
place
,
where
my
frend
and
those
of
his
Regiment
kept
their
wiues
and
children
:
of
whom
wee
were
receiued
with
most
great
ioy
,
and
euerie
one
went
home
vnto
his
owne
house
,
leauing
me
in
the
Captaines
lodging
,
being
after
the
sea
manner
verie
stately
.
We
being
entered
into
the
Captaine
Licioes
house
,
he
sayd
thus
vnto
his
Wife
:
Gentlewoman
,
the
gaynes
which
I
bring
you
of
this
Voyage
,
is
to
haue
gotten
for
my
frend
this
gentle
Tonny
,
which
héere
you
sée
.
The
which
purchase
I
make
no
small
accompt
of
:
wherefore
I
pray
you
let
him
bee
welcome
vnto
you
,
and
giue
him
as
good
entertainment
,
as
you
were
accustomed
to
doo
vnto
my
brother
:
for
therein
you
shall
doo
mee
a
singular
great
pleasure
,
because
I
honour
and
admire
his
vertues
.
She
was
a
verie
faire
Tonny
,
&
with
a
verie
good
grace
made
him
answere
:
Sir
,
assure
your selfe
it
shall
be
done
as
you
require
,
and
if
anie
default
be
found
in
me
,
it
shall
not
be
for
want
of
good
will
.
Whereat
I
made
an
humble
reuerence
,
and
fell
downe
,
desiring
her
to
giue
mee
her
hands
that
I
might
kisse
them
:
which
I
spake
some
what
softly
,
so
that
(
as
it
chaunced
)
they
neither
saw
nor
heard
my
folly
.
But
I
said
vnto
my selfe
,
what
a
foole
am
I
,
to
desire
to
kisse
her
hands
,
that
hath
nothing
but
a
tayle
?
The
Tonny
gaue
me
a
swéete
kisse
,
willing
me
to
rise
vp
,
and
so
I
was
most
curteously
receiued
of
her
:
and
offering
vnto
her
my
seruice
,
it
was
verie
well
accepted
of
,
and
receiued
so
wise
an
answere
of
her
againe
,
as
of
so
honourable
a
Gentlewoman
might
be
giuen
.
In
this
manner
we
remained
there
certaine
dayes
in
great
pleasure
,
I
being
verie
well
vsed
and
intertained
by
those
Gentlemen
,
and
wayted
vppon
by
his
seruants
.
In
the
meane
time
I
taught
the
Captaine
to
play
at
sence
,
although
I
neuer
had
learned
in
all
my
life
:
and
yet
I
did
it
very
nimbly
with
my
sword
,
which
he
praised
very
much
as
likewise
a
brother
of
his
called
Melo
,
a
verie
braue
Tonny
.
Resting
thus
at
mine
ease
,
one
night
beeing
alone
in
my
bed
,
and
thinking
vpon
the
great
fauour
and
frendship
I
had
found
in
this
fish
,
my
great
frend
,
desiring
if
occasion
might
bee
offered
to
doo
somewhat
for
him
,
as
part
of
a
recompence
of
the
great
debt
which
in
that
behalfe
I
ought
him
:
at
the
last
there
came
vnto
my
minde
a
great
seruice
that
I
might
doo
,
which
in
the
morning
I
imparted
vnto
him
:
which
he
tooke
in
good
part
,
because
it
was
not
to
be
disliked
,
and
which
stood
him
in
great
stead
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
showen
.
The
thing
was
thus
,
that
I
séeing
him
to
be
so
wel
affectionate
to
armes
,
told
him
that
he
should
doo
well
to
send
to
the
place
where
our
shipwracke
happened
,
and
that
there
hee
should
finde
manie
swords
,
speares
,
ponyards
,
and
other
manner
of
Armes
,
and
that
they
should
bring
away
as
manie
as
they
could
finde
:
for
that
I
was
minded
to
take
the
charge
vppon
mee
to
learne
our
Companie
the
managing
of
them
with
much
dexteritie
:
which
if
I
brought
to
passe
,
his
Companie
should
thereby
be
the
most
strong
&
valiant
aboue
all
others
,
and
which
the
King
and
all
the
Sea
would
most
accompt
of
,
because
that
by
that
meanes
it
would
be
more
worthie
for
strength
than
all
the
rest
ioyned
together
,
whereby
hee
might
obtaine
much
honour
and
profite
.
This
séemed
vnto
him
to
be
the
counsell
of
a
verie
good
frend
,
for
the
which
he
gaue
me
most
heartie
thankes
:
and
presently
therevpon
putting
my
counsell
and
aduice
in
effect
,
hee
sent
in
all
hast
his
Brother
Melo
with
sixe
thousand
Tonnyes
vnto
the
place
by
me
alleadged
,
who
verie
shortly
after
with
great
diligence
returned
againe
,
bringing
with
them
an
infinite
number
of
swords
and
other
weapons
,
whereof
diuers
were
all
rustie
:
which
should
séeme
to
haue
laine
in
the
sea
since
the
time
that
the
valiant
Captaine
Don
Luigo
de
Moncada
suffred
shipwracke
in
that
place
.
The
Armes
beeing
brought
,
they
were
deuided
amongst
those
Tonnnyes
that
séemed
vnto
vs
to
be
the
most
nimble
&
of
best
courage
among
them
.
And
then
the
Captaine
on
the
one
side
,
his
Brother
on
the
other
,
&
I
as
the
chiefe
Master
of
Defence
,
taught
such
as
desired
to
be
expert
in
their
weapon
:
so
that
we
imployed
our
whole
time
in
learning
them
to
manage
their
Armes
,
and
to
defend
themselues
therewith
.
Whereby
in
short
space
there
were
some
among
them
that
could
giue
the
thrust
,
the
crosse
blow
,
and
the
reuerse
:
as
for
the
rest
that
dealt
not
in
their
weapons
,
wee
appointed
them
to
hunt
and
séeke
for
victualls
:
and
the
women
wee
learned
to
scowre
our
weapons
,
by
a
fine
inuention
that
I
deuised
:
which
was
that
they
should
thrust
them
into
the
sand
,
and
draw
them
forth
againe
so
long
,
vntill
they
waxed
bright
.
In
such
manner
,
that
our
companie
being
ioyned
altogether
,
hee
that
should
behold
that
part
of
the
sea
,
would
thinke
he
saw
a
great
battaile
in
the
water
.
In
the
ende
,
by
this
meanes
there
was
almost
not
one
of
the
Tonnies
but
began
to
be
very
expert
in
his
weapon
.
Hereupon
we
entred
into
counsell
,
and
in
the
same
it
was
agréed
,
that
we
should
make
a
perpetuall
league
&
amitie
with
the
cuttle
fishes
,
whereby
they
might
come
and
liue
among
vs
,
because
with
their
large
sinnes
they
might
doo
vs
great
seruice
to
beare
our
Armes
:
and
so
it
was
done
,
and
they
were
glad
of
it
,
because
they
saw
we
tooke
them
for
our
frends
,
and
maintained
them
:
the
which
(
as
I
said
before
)
might
serue
our
turnes
in
that
point
without
anie
paine
or
trouble
vnto
them
.
About
this
time
,
the
space
of
two
moneths
appointed
by
the
Generall
for
the
Captaines
repaire
vnto
the
Court
began
to
draw
néere
:
at
the
end
whereof
,
the
Captaine
generall
sent
commandement
that
they
should
come
thither
.
Whereupon
Licio
began
to
make
preparation
for
his
iourney
,
and
betwéen
him
and
I
it
was
debated
,
whether
it
should
be
good
for
me
to
goe
with
him
to
the
court
,
to
do
my
humble
dutie
vnto
the
king
,
that
he
might
know
me
:
but
we
found
it
not
conuenient
,
considering
the
Generall
séemed
to
beare
me
no
great
good
wil
,
and
that
he
had
expresly
commanded
me
to
returne
vnto
mine
owne
countrie
:
for
the
which
cause
,
the
matter
being
throughly
debated
in
the
presence
of
Melo
,
brother
vnto
Captaine
Licio
(
a
Tonny
of
singular
good
wit
)
and
of
the
no
lesse
wise
Tonny
his
wife
,
their
aduice
at
the
present
was
,
that
I
should
stay
there
with
her
.
Whervpon
he
determined
to
go
in
all
spéed
,
and
to
take
but
few
of
his
men
with
him
,
&
being
at
the
Court
,
he
would
informe
the
king
of
me
,
and
of
my
great
valor
,
and
vpon
the
Kings
answere
we
should
procéed
.
This
being
agréed
vpon
among
vs
,
the
good
captaine
Licio
departed
on
his
iourney
with
very
néere
a
thousand
Tonnies
,
his
brother
Melo
&
I
with
al
the
rest
staying
at
home
in
our
lodgings
:
and
at
his
departure
from
me
,
taking
me
aside
he
said
vnto
me
,
My
verie
frend
,
I
must
of
force
let
you
vnderstand
,
that
I
depart
from
hence
with
no
small
gréefe
,
by
reason
of
a
dreame
I
had
this
last
night
,
I
pray
God
it
fall
not
out
to
be
true
:
but
if
to
my
euill
fortune
it
should
happen
to
be
true
,
I
pray
you
that
you
will
take
it
in
good
part
,
and
thinke
vpon
that
which
you
haue
giuen
me
in
charge
,
and
hereof
I
pray
you
desire
not
to
know
anie
farther
at
this
present
,
because
it
is
neither
conuenient
for
you
nor
me
.
I
besought
him
much
to
declare
the
same
vnto
me
,
and
the
rather
,
because
at
his
departure
from
his
wife
,
his
brother
&
the
rest
,
he
gaue
me
a
nod
with
his
head
,
(
although
verie
sadly
)
leauing
me
verie
sorrowfull
and
heauy
.
He
being
gone
,
I
could
not
but
thinke
vpon
the
matter
,
and
diuers
things
ran
in
my
minde
touching
the
same
:
&
among
the
rest
,
I
supposed
this
one
to
be
it
,
the
peraduenture
he
vnto
whom
I
was
so
much
beholding
might
thinke
,
that
the
beautie
of
his
wife
,
(
which
most
commonly
is
not
matched
with
the
greatest
honestie
)
would
blinde
me
so
much
,
that
I
could
not
sée
how
the
sea
doth
abhorre
so
great
a
wickednes
.
But
that
good
law
is
at
,
this
day
much
corrupted
on
the
earth
,
&
in
the
sea
it
is
the
like
,
but
it
is
no
meruaile
.
In
this
conceipt
I
continued
long
,
and
in
the
end
I
deuised
a
meane
whereby
he
might
be
assured
of
me
,
and
my
loyaltie
no
way
suspected
:
which
was
thus
,
that
I
and
her
brother
in
law
being
with
her
,
(
after
some
salutations
and
comforts
offred
vnto
her
on
our
parts
,
thereby
to
put
her
out
of
the
melancholy
humor
which
we
perceiued
to
be
in
her
,
because
of
her
husbands
departure
,
and
the
rather
to
behold
him
so
sad
and
heauie
,
although
that
he
hid
it
both
from
her
and
me
at
his
departure
from
vs
)
I
told
Melo
that
I
desired
to
be
his
guest
,
if
be
thought
it
good
,
because
I
could
not
be
merrie
,
being
alway
in
companie
of
women
:
&
rather
than
I
should
be
troublesome
vnto
her
,
I
would
leaue
the
house
.
She
was
presently
readie
to
make
me
an
answere
,
saying
,
that
if
she
found
anie
meanes
of
comfort
,
she
thought
it
would
be
by
reason
that
I
was
in
her
house
,
and
at
her
commandement
,
she
knowing
verie
well
the
great
loue
and
affection
that
her
husband
bare
vnto
me
,
&
that
at
the
time
of
his
departure
from
her
,
he
gaue
her
not
any
greater
charge
,
than
of
the
care
that
she
was
to
haue
of
me
,
althogh
I
suspected
not
what
the
cause
was
:
for
our
thoughts
did
rather
disagrée
.
In
the
end
,
I
thinking
that
it
might
be
with
the
Tonny
fishes
,
as
it
was
with
me
in
the
same
case
,
touching
my
wife
Eluira
,
and
my
master
the
Priest
,
could
neuer
be
in
quiet
,
but
desired
rather
to
be
with
her
brother
in
law
,
and
whensoeuer
I
went
to
visite
her
,
I
brought
him
alwaies
with
me
.
CHAP.
V.
Lazarus
telleth
what
happened
vnto
Captaine
Licio
his
frend
at
the
Court
,
by
meanes
of
the
Captaine
generall
.
BEing
sometimes
hunting
,
and
sometimes
exercising
our
weapons
,
within
eight
dayes
after
my
frends
departure
,
newes
was
brought
vs
,
which
made
vs
the
most
sorrowfull
fishes
in
the
sea
.
Being
thus
,
that
when
the
Captaine
generall
vsed
me
so
hardly
,
as
I
told
you
before
,
he
willed
me
to
depart
out
of
the
Army
,
saying
,
that
those
Tonnies
which
found
themselues
agréeued
at
me
,
because
of
my
offence
committed
against
them
,
would
be
reuenged
:
and
afterwards
he
had
commaunded
certaine
Tonnies
,
that
finding
me
alone
from
al
company
,
they
should
presently
kill
me
,
and
for
no
other
cause
more
than
that
it
séemed
vnto
him
(
as
it
was
very
true
)
that
I
would
be
a
witnes
of
his
cowardlines
,
for
other
cause
there
was
none
,
but
only
where
desert
is
it
ought
to
be
recompenced
:
but
God
preuented
this
mischiefe
,
putting
(
as
I
thinke
)
into
Licioes
hart
,
the
fauor
he
shewed
me
.
Which
being
knowen
vnto
the
Generall
,
he
bare
him
likewise
most
great
hatred
&
euill
will
,
affirming
and
swearing
that
that
which
Licio
did
vnto
me
,
was
for
to
vex
and
gréue
him
:
and
knowing
verie
wel
he
had
but
a
hard
witnes
of
him
,
because
he
was
with
me
,
when
the
General
entring
into
the
caue
cried
,
peace
,
peace
.
This
together
with
that
which
the
good
Captaine
(
and
better
than
he
)
had
done
vnto
me
,
caused
him
to
procure
this
mischiefe
against
him
,
and
as
hee
came
vnto
the
Court
,
he
went
presently
with
great
complaints
vnto
the
King
,
accusing
him
as
a
traitor
,
saying
,
that
one
night
as
the
said
Licio
was
Captaine
of
the
guard
,
and
held
the
néerest
Centinell
vnto
the
caue
,
for
a
great
summe
of
money
which
was
giuen
him
by
the
enemie
,
that
he
might
escape
,
he
left
his
watch
.
Which
he
affirmed
to
be
true
by
diuers
witnesses
,
and
euen
so
God
helpe
him
as
he
told
the
truth
:
for
that
Lazaro
de
Tormes
could
not
giue
any
thing
,
vnles
it
wer
a
number
of
their
heads
that
lay
dead
at
his
féete
.
And
going
on
with
his
falshood
,
sayd
,
that
he
had
brought
from
strange
places
,
a
most
cruell
and
wicked
Tonny
,
the
which
had
slaine
a
great
number
of
his
Armie
,
with
a
sword
that
he
carried
in
his
mouth
:
wherewith
he
plaid
his
part
so
nimbly
,
that
it
was
impossible
for
him
to
doo
it
,
except
he
were
some
diuel
,
that
for
the
destruction
of
the
Tonnies
had
taken
their
shape
vpon
him
:
and
that
he
perceiuing
the
great
damage
which
the
wicked
Tonny
had
done
,
banished
him
from
the
armie
vpon
paine
of
death
,
and
that
the
said
Licio
,
in
despite
of
the
King
and
of
his
royall
crowne
,
as
also
in
despite
of
him
,
had
entertained
the
said
Tonny
in
his
companie
,
&
giuen
him
aide
:
for
the
which
causes
he
affirmed
him
to
be
a
traitor
,
and
to
haue
incurred
the
danger
of
the
lawes
,
and
in
respect
thereof
,
he
ought
to
be
deliuered
into
the
hands
of
the
Iustices
to
be
punished
for
his
offences
,
that
by
him
others
might
take
example
,
that
hereafter
none
might
break
the
Kings
commandements
.
The
King
being
thus
wrong
enformed
,
and
worse
counselled
,
giuing
so
much
credit
vnto
his
wicked
Captaine
,
with
two
or
thrée
false
witnesses
that
swore
as
he
had
taught
them
,
and
with
a
proofe
made
in
the
absence
of
the
partie
accused
,
the
same
day
that
Captaine
Licio
arriued
at
the
Court
,
altogither
innocent
and
ignorant
of
the
matter
,
he
was
commanded
to
be
taken
and
put
into
a
cruell
dungeon
,
with
a
great
chaine
about
his
necke
:
and
commission
giuen
vnto
the
Captain
Generall
to
kéep
him
safe
;
and
to
sée
him
punished
according
vnto
his
desert
,
who
presently
prouided
more
then
thirtie
thousand
Tonnies
to
watch
him
.
CHAP.
VI.
How
that
Lazarus
vnderstanding
of
his
friend
Licios
imprisonment
,
was
verie
much
greeued
thereat
,
and
all
the
rest
of
his
company
;
and
what
order
they
tooke
for
the
same
.
THese
sorrowfull
and
dolefull
newes
,
were
brought
vs
by
some
of
those
that
went
with
him
,
declaring
vnto
vs
how
they
had
charged
him
in
such
sort
as
I
sayd
before
,
and
in
what
maner
he
had
béen
heard
,
and
that
it
would
go
hardly
with
him
,
by
reason
that
all
the
Iudges
which
had
to
do
in
the
cause
,
were
suborned
by
the
Generall
,
so
that
as
they
thought
,
the
matter
procéeding
in
such
order
as
it
did
,
he
could
not
long
escape
from
a
most
cruell
death
.
(
At
that
time
I
called
to
minde
the
old
saying
commonly
vsed
,
and
sayd
vnto
my selfe
,
When
shalt
thou
ende
thy
aduentures
?
when
thou
shalt
haue
finisht
a
thousande
misfortunes
on
the
land
,
and
many
more
in
the
seas
.
)
At
this
their
spéech
,
there
beganne
among
vs
a
great
lamentation
and
crie
,
but
in
my selfe
a
double
sorrow
,
because
that
on
the
one
side
I
sorowed
for
my
friend
,
and
on
the
other
side
,
I
lamented
mine
owne
estate
,
for
that
wanting
him
,
I
had
no
hope
of
life
,
being
then
both
in
the
middle
of
the
seas
,
and
of
my
enemies
,
altogither
without
comfort
and
forsaken
:
for
it
séemed
vnto
me
that
all
the
company
complained
on
me
,
and
that
with
moste
iustly
and
by
good
reason
,
for
that
I
was
the
only
cause
that
they
must
lose
him
whom
they
desired
.
Wherewith
I
sayd
,
You
my
Lord
departed
from
me
in
great
sorow
,
without
once
imparting
your
grief
vnto
me
,
now
I
sée
well
that
you
prognosticated
my
great
losse
,
without
all
doubt
sayd
I
,
this
is
the
dreame
that
you
my
good
friend
dreamed
,
this
is
that
grief
which
at
your
departure
leauing
me
,
you
left
vs
withall
.
And
thus
euery
one
mourned
and
lamented
vnto
himselfe
,
till
at
the
last
I
spake
in
presence
of
them
all
.
My
Lady
and
you
my
Lord
and
friends
,
that
which
the
sorrowfull
newes
hath
constrained
vs
to
do
,
hath
béen
iustly
done
,
for
each
of
vs
by
outward
signe
,
doth
show
his
inward
griefe
,
but
séeing
that
this
our
first
motion
is
past
,
as
it
were
in
a
moment
,
it
is
good
reason
my
Lordes
,
séeing
that
with
teares
and
complaintes
,
our
losse
is
not
recouered
,
that
we
giue
order
presently
for
the
best
remedie
that
may
be
deuised
therein
:
and
the
same
well
wayed
and
considered
,
to
put
presently
in
effect
,
séeing
that
as
these
men
say
,
the
occasion
of
spéeding
the
matter
which
by
those
men
that
hate
vs
is
ministred
vnto
vs
,
doth
require
the
same
.
To
this
the
faire
&
chast
Tonny
his
wife
,
sheading
many
teares
from
her
gracious
eies
,
answered
me
.
All
of
vs
(
most
valiant
gentleman
)
do
very
wel
perceiue
&
know
that
your
reasons
are
most
true
,
as
also
the
soden
necessitie
which
at
this
present
offreth
it self
vnto
vs
,
verifieth
the
same
:
wherfore
if
the
these
gentlemen
and
my
friends
were
all
of
my
opinion
,
we
should
all
referre
our selues
vnto
you
,
as
vnto
him
whome
God
hath
indowed
with
a
most
cleare
&
perfect
iudgement
,
for
séeing
that
Licio
my
Lord
,
being
so
wise
&
learned
,
did
put
you
in
trust
with
his
most
earnest
&
waightie
affaires
,
and
therein
followed
your
counsell
,
I
do
not
thinke
that
I
erre
any
thing
herein
,
(
although
I
am
but
a
weake
&
simple
woman
)
in
desiring
you
to
take
the
charge
vpon
you
,
for
the
prouiding
&
ordeining
of
that
which
shall
be
conuenient
to
be
done
,
for
the
safetie
of
him
the
loued
you
with
so
sincere
a
loue
,
and
to
the
comfort
of
this
his
sorowfull
wife
,
which
by
this
meanes
you
shal
alwaies
bind
vnto
you
.
This
said
,
she
returned
vnto
her
complaints
,
and
al
we
did
the
like
.
Melo
&
other
Tonnies
were
with
the
captaines
wife
,
and
at
the
present
agreed
in
one
consent
with
her
,
giuing
me
the
charge
of
the
enterprise
,
offring
themselues
to
follow
me
,
and
to
do
all
whatsoeuer
I
would
command
them
.
I
séeing
that
I
was
in
dutie
bound
to
do
it
,
and
to
take
vppon
me
all
care
&
trouble
for
him
,
that
for
me
was
in
such
misery
,
tooke
the
matter
vpon
me
,
saying
vnto
them
,
I
knew
very
wel
,
that
euery
one
of
you
could
do
it
better
than
I
,
but
séeing
that
it
pleaseth
you
so
to
appoint
it
,
I
am
very
well
content
therwith
.
They
thanked
me
,
and
then
it
was
presently
agreed
vppon
,
that
wee
should
make
the
same
knowne
vnto
all
the
Regiment
,
which
was
presently
done
,
so
that
within
thrée
daies
after
they
were
all
gathered
togither
.
I
chose
out
for
my
Councell
,
twelue
of
the
richest
among
them
,
not
respecting
their
wisedoms
if
they
were
poore
,
because
when
I
was
a
man
I
had
séene
that
sufficiently
done
in
diuers
assemblies
,
wherein
many
causes
of
importaunce
were
handled
,
because
(
as
I
say
)
they
looke
not
whether
they
be
apparelled
with
wit
,
so
they
be
apparelled
in
silke
.
These
being
chosen
out
,
one
of
them
was
Melo
,
and
an
other
the
Captaines
wife
,
a
woman
of
great
wisedome
,
a
thing
very
well
knowne
both
by
land
and
seas
.
This
done
,
we
sent
vnto
all
the
company
that
they
should
dine
,
and
then
repaire
vnto
vs
in
order
of
battaile
,
the
armed
with
their
armes
,
and
the
rest
with
their
bare
bodies
,
when
they
were
come
,
I
caused
them
to
be
numbred
,
and
we
found
them
to
bee
in
all
the
number
of
tenne
thousand
one
hundreth
and
nine
Tonnies
,
all
fighting
men
,
without
counting
women
,
boyes
and
olde
men
,
whereof
fiue
thousande
of
them
were
armed
,
some
with
Swordes
,
other
with
Launces
,
Ponyardes
,
and
Kniues
,
all
which
tooke
their
oathes
vppon
my
tayle
(
vnder
the
whiche
they
put
their
heades
according
vnto
their
accustomed
manner
,
)
although
I
laughed
in
my selfe
to
sée
their
prettie
ceremonie
,
)
that
they
woulde
doe
as
I
shoulde
commaund
them
,
and
woulde
thrust
in
their
weapons
,
and
those
that
had
none
their
Téethe
,
into
whome
so
euer
I
shoulde
commaunde
them
to
doe
it
,
procuring
with
all
their
power
and
force
if
it
were
possible
to
set
their
Captaine
at
libertie
,
their
dutie
and
loyaltie
vnto
their
soueraigne
King
alwayes
reserued
.
Wée
agreed
likewise

the

of
one
hundreth
of
the

Gentlewoman

well

,

of
our

CHAP.
VII
.
How
Lazarus
and
his
Tonnies
being
in
order
of
battel
,
went
vnto
the
Court
,
minding
to
deliuer
Licius
out
of
prison
.
IN
this
manner
,
as
I
saide
before
,
we
marched
forwardes
,
in
great
haste
,
giuing
charge
vnto
such
as
we
thought
good
,
for
the
prouision
of
victualls
for
the
armie
,
because
they
should
not
disorder
themselues
.
In
the
way
I
questioned
with
those
that
brought
vs
the
newes
,
of
the
situation
of
the
Courte
,
and
the
place
where
our
Captaine
was
kept
in
prison
,
meane
time
,
at
the
end
of
thrée
dayes
we
were
within
ten
miles
of
the
Court
,
and
for
because
we
marched
in
so
new
and
vnaccustomed
order
,
if
our
comming
should
bee
knowne
,
we
might
bee
preuented
of
that
we
went
for
,
we
agreed
that
we
would
not
march
any
further
vntill
night
came
,
willing
certaine
of
those
Tonnies
that
had
brought
vs
the
sorrowfull
newes
,
to
go
before
into
the
Cittie
,
and
as
secretly
as
they
could
,
learne
how
the
case
stood
with
our
Captain
,
and
hauing
so
done
,
presently
to
return
vs
the
newes
:
wherof
some
of
them
returned
and
brought
vs
the
worst
newes
we
could
desire
.
Night
being
come
,
it
was
agreed
that
the
captaines
wife
and
her
women
,
with
Melo
and
fiue
hundred
Tonnies
disarmed
,
of
the
best
and
oldest
among
them
,
should
goe
straight
vnto
the
Court
,
and
as
they
wel
could
do
it
,
they
shuld
beséech
the
King
that
it
would
please
him
to
examine
the
cause
of
her
husband
and
his
brother
,
and
that
I
and
all
the
rest
wold
place
our selues
in
a
wood
full
of
trées
and
rockes
,
within
two
miles
of
the
Citie
,
where
then
King
sometimes
went
to
sollace
himselfe
,
and
there
we
would
remaine
vntill
suche
time
wee
should
sée
by
our
aduise
from
them
,
what
were
best
to
bee
done
.
We
presently
went
vnto
the
wood
,
which
we
founde
verie
well
prouided
with
great
store
of
fishes
,
vpon
the
which
we
fed
,
or
to
say
the
truth
,
filled
our selues
at
our
pleasures
,
and
all
the
company
did
the
like
.
And
the
faire
and
gentle
Tonny
by
morning
arriued
at
the
Citie
,
and
presently
went
vnto
the
court
,
where
she
staide
a
long
time
at
the
gate
,
vntill
the
King
rose
,
to
whom
they
declared
the
comming
of
that
gentlewoman
,
in
the
ende
,
by
meanes
of
the
importunate
sute
she
made
vnto
the
porters
,
they
suffered
her
to
enter
in
,
that
shee
might
speake
vnto
the
King
.
But
the
King
,
that
perceiued
well
her
sute
,
returned
her
an
answere
,
that
as
then
he
had
no
time
to
heare
her
,
she
séeing
that
he
desired
not
to
heare
her
by
word
of
mouth
,
caused
a
supplication
in
very
good
forme
to
be
drawne
by
two
Counsellors
,
that
pleaded
for
Licio
,
wherin
she
besought
him
to
remit
iudgement
of
Licio
,
seeing
he
had
appealed
vnto
his
maiestie
,
and
the
reason
why
,
for
that
he
was
the
day
before
condemned
to
die
,
by
the
Iudges
of
the
land
,
as
we
vnderstood
,
by
our
aduiser
,
saying
his
highnesse
knew
very
well
,
that
her
husband
had
bene
falsly
accused
,
and
vniustly
condemned
,
and
that
his
highnesse
would
cause
the
inditement
to
be
perused
,
and
the
iudgement
with
the
execution
of
the
sentence
to
be
staied
.
These
and
other
things
were
conteined
in
the
petition
,
which
she
deliuered
vnto
one
of
the
porters
,
and
withall
tooke
her
chaine
of
gold
with
a
Iewell
hanging
thereat
from
about
her
necke
and
gaue
it
him
,
praying
him
to
stand
her
good
friende
,
and
with
teares
from
her
eyes
,
to
consider
of
her
dolour
and
grief
,
and
not
to
respect
the
smal
gift
.
The
Porter
very
willingly
tooke
her
petition
,
but
more
willingly
her
chaine
,
promising
to
do
for
her
the
best
he
could
,
and
in
very
déed
,
his
promise
was
not
in
vaine
,
for
that
the
petition
being
red
before
the
King
,
he
from
his
owne
mouth
(
ful
of
gold
)
vsed
such
perswasions
vnto
his
highnesse
,
withall
showing
him
of
the
teares
and
lamentations
that
the
Captaines
wife
made
for
her
husband
,
at
the
Pallace
gate
,
that
therewith
he
mooued
the
King
to
pitie
her
estate
,
and
said
.
I
will
that
you
goe
with
this
woman
vnto
the
Iudges
,
and
will
them
to
staie
the
execution
of
the
iudgement
,
because
I
am
desirous
to
be
better
informed
touching
certaine
pointes
concerning
Captaine
Licios
accusation
.
With
the
which
commission
,
the
Porter
verie
glad
to
haue
sped
so
well
,
came
vnto
the
sorrowfull
gentlewoman
,
asking
her
a
reward
for
his
earnest
solicitation
,
which
she
willingly
gaue
him
,
and
then
without
farther
delay
,
they
went
togither
vnto
the
Iudges
lodging
,
but
as
her
hard
fortune
fell
out
,
in
going
thither
,
they
chaunced
to
méete
in
the
stréete
with
Don
Pauar
,
(
for
so
was
the
causer
of
our
trobles
named
,
)
who
being
accompanied
,
went
to
the
court
,
but
as
he
espied
the
gentlewoman
with
her
captain
,
and
vnderstood
who
they
were
,
knowing
likewise
the
Porter
,
craftily
suspected
what
their
meanings
wer
,
so
that
very
dissemblingly
he
called
the
Porter
vnto
him
,
asking
him
whither
he
went
with
that
company
,
who
presently
declared
it
vnto
him
:
he
séeming
to
like
it
well
,
told
the
Porter
how
the
case
stood
touching
the
captaine
(
although
it
was
all
contrary
)
saying
that
he
liked
wel
the
kings
procéeding
therin
,
bicause
Licio
was
a
braue
souldier
,
and
there
was
no
reason
why
hee
should
bee
executed
without
further
examination
of
the
cause
;
saying
further
,
that
the
Iudges
were
at
that
present
in
his
lodging
,
and
said
they
came
thither
to
aske
my
counsell
in
the
matter
,
wherupon
I
was
now
going
to
the
court
for
to
speak
with
the
king
,
whereas
they
attend
my
returne
,
but
séeing
that
you
bring
a
dispatch
,
let
vs
goe
backe
againe
,
and
declare
the
kings
pleasure
vnto
them
,
and
going
by
the
way
,
he
called
one
of
his
Pages
to
him
,
to
whome
very
pleasantly
he
said
,
that
he
should
with
all
haste
goe
vnto
the
Iudges
,
and
will
them
presently
to
cause
execution
to
be
done
vpon
captaine
Licio
,
because
it
was
the
kings
pleasure
,
and
that
they
should
execute
the
same
either
within
the
prison
,
or
else
at
the
gate
thereof
,
without
leading
him
vnto
the
common
place
of
execution
,
meane
time
that
I
hold
the
Porter
here
in
talke
with
me
,
the
Page
did
as
he
was
commaunded
,
and
drawing
neare
vnto
the
Generalls
lodging
,
the
Traitor
tooke
the
Porter
in
with
him
,
and
sayd
vnto
Melo
,
and
his
sister
in
lawe
,
that
they
should
be
of
good
comfort
,
and
staie
there
,
while
he
went
in
and
spake
with
the
Iudges
,
and
that
from
thence
they
would
goe
all
togither
to
the
prison
to
sée
Licio
,
and
to
comfort
him
,
giuing
him
that
which
he
so
long
had
expected
,
and
that
he
ment
to
go
thither
himselfe
with
them
,
but
the
vnfortunate
woman
by
good
hap
was
enformed
of
the
great
treason
of
the
captain
general
.
And
although
he
had
greater
hatred
vnto
the
good
captain
Licio
,
then
compassion
vpon
the
teares
and
lamentations
of
his
wife
,
yet
for
an
outward
showe
hee
séemed
to
fauour
her
request
.
For
when
as
the
cruell
traitor
called
vnto
his
Page
,
willing
him
to
go
and
cause
Licios
execution
to
be
dispatched
,
as
God
would
,
one
of
her
seruants
heard
him
,
and
told
it
vnto
the
captaines
wife
,
which
the
wicked
generall
perceiued
not
,
whereat
she
fell
in
a
maner
dead
,
vpon
the
necke
of
brother
in
law
,
standing
next
vnto
her
.
Which
assoone
as
Melo
vnderstood
,
he
presently
caused
30.
Tonnies
of
his
company
to
depart
with
all
spéede
,
and
to
declare
vnto
me
in
what
point
and
iminent
danger
the
case
stood
with
Licio
,
who
like
faithfull
and
diligent
messengers
,
did
within
short
space
make
vs
acquainted
with
those
sorrowfull
newes
,
which
they
brought
vs
,
crying
with
loude
voices
,
Arme
,
Arme
,
you
,
O
you
valiant
Tonnies
,
for
our
captaine
shal
be
presently
executed
to
death
,
by
the
treason
and
deceit
of
the
traitor
Don
Pauar
,
against
the
will
&
pleasure
of
our
king
,
and
so
in
briefe
rehearsed
vnto
vs
,
all
that
I
showed
you
before
:
whereat
I
presently
caused
the
drums
to
be
sounded
,
and
in
all
haste
my
Tonnies
were
readie
with
their
mouthes
armed
,
vnto
whom
I
made
a
pithie
Oration
,
declaring
the
whole
procéedings
,
to
the
end
that
as
good
and
valiant
souldiers
they
should
shewe
their
courages
against
their
enemies
,
ayding
and
succouring
their
captaine
in
so
extreame
necessitie
,
who
answered
all
with
one
voice
,
that
they
were
readie
to
follow
me
,
and
to
do
their
endeuours
in
that
behalfe
:
which
their
answere
being
ended
,
we
presently
beganne
to
march
thither
,
but
hee
that
had
then
séene
Lazarus
the
Tonny
marching
before
his
souldiers
,
would
haue
iudged
him
a
valiant
captain
.
To
conclude
,
we
entred
into
the
towne
and
besieged
the
kings
palace
,
and
by
force
tooke
Licio
out
of
their
hands
,
slaying
great
nombers
of
them
.
Which
the
king
perceiuing
,
willed
Licioes
wife
who
was
then
at
the
court
,
to
sue
to
the
king
for
Licio
,
to
returne
vnto
her
husband
and
tell
him
,
that
if
he
thinke
good
,
I
would
haue
him
to
dissolue
his
siege
from
about
his
palace
,
and
suffer
his
subiects
quietly
to
go
home
to
their
houses
,
and
to
morowe
to
come
hither
againe
,
and
deliuer
her
message
vnto
the
councell
,
and
then
she
should
haue
Iustice
.
The
Captains
wife
with
this
answer
departed
not
,
but
taking
time
when
it
serued
,
saide
vnto
the
king
,
My
Lord
,
neither
my
husband
nor
yet
his
company
,
do
hold
any
siege
about
your
royall
person
,
neither
likewise
haue
they
entered
into
any
house
,
but
that
of
Don
Pauar
,
so
that
the
inhabitants
of
this
citie
,
cannot
iustly
complaine
,
that
there
hath
bene
any
iniury
done
vnto
any
of
them
in
their
houses
,
wherefore
what
it
pleaseth
you
to
commaund
as
touching
them
,
it
shall
be
done
,
for
,
for
that
cause
I
was
sent
vnto
your
grace
.
For
God
is
our
iudge
,
that
neither
Licio
nor
his
company
haue
any
other
meaning
or
intent
,
but
as
good
and
faithfull
subiects
ought
to
haue
.
Woman
saide
the
king
,
for
this
time
I
can
say
no
more
vnto
thée
.
Wherewith
she
and
her
women
making
humble
reuerence
,
with
most
gracious
behauiour
and
comely
sort
departed
from
the
presence
,
whiche
the
kings
pleasure
being
knowne
vnto
vs
,
we
presently
in
good
order
departed
the
cittie
,
staying
in
the
wood
,
but
yet
not
verie
hungry
,
because
we
fell
to
eating
of
our
enemies
dead
bodies
,
commaunding
the
disarmed
Tonnies
to
carry
as
muche
with
them
,
as
might
suffice
our
army
for
the
space
of
thrée
or
4.
daies
,
leauing
neuerthelesse
as
much
within
the
citie
,
as
sufficed
the
citie
and
the
court
likewise
:
those
that
liue
of
the
spoile
wished
no
other
thing
of
God
,
then
that
euery
eight
daies
,
there
might
happen
the
like
among
them
,
light
vpon
whom
it
would
.
The
citie
being
discharged
of
our
troopes
,
the
citizens
repaired
again
ech
man
to
his
house
,
finding
them
as
they
left
them
.
The
king
commanding
that
the
captain
generals
treasure
shuld
be
brought
vnto
him
,
which
was
such
and
so
much
,
as
there
was
not
anie
king
within
the
seas
,
that
had
the
like
,
and
then
the
king
had
som
reason
to
mistrust
his
traiterous
dealing
,
because
he
might
well
suppose
that
it
was
not
possible
for
him
to
get
that
hee
had
gotten
,
by
good
means
,
but
by
stealth
.
Then
he
caused
his
councell
to
bee
assembled
,
who
saide
vnto
the
king
,
that
if
it
were
as
Licio
said
,
he
then
had
not
much
offended
in
that
action
,
specially
because
his
highnesse
had
commanded
iustice
should
not
be
executed
vntil
further
enquiry
were
made
:
and
to
confirm
the
same
,
the
Porter
that
had
the
message
in
charge
,
declared
the
subtile
practise
that
the
Generall
vsed
with
him
:
and
how
he
deceiued
him
&
brought
him
to
his
owne
house
,
saying
the
Iudges
were
there
,
and
that
he
let
them
not
depart
from
thence
,
and
what
diligence
he
made
towards
the
court
.
Further
,
he
was
showed
by
the
Sheriffes
,
that
the
Captain
generall
had
sent
them
word
,
that
his
Highnes
commanded
them
that
they
should
presently
cause
execution
to
bee
done
,
and
the
better
to
dispatch
it
,
they
should
not
lead
him
thoough
the
accustomed
stréetes
,
but
doo
it
before
the
prison
gate
:
which
they
beléeuing
to
be
true
,
had
deliuered
him
to
be
executed
.
In
such
maner
,
that
the
King
knew
and
perceiued
his
Generals
fault
,
and
the
more
he
looked
into
the
matter
,
the
more
he
perceiued
it
to
be
true
.

.
How
the
Captaines
wife
returned
againe
vnto
the
King
,
and
of
the
good
answere
she
brought
.
ALL
this
while
we
stayed
that
day
and
the
next
night
in
the
wood
,
not
greatly
in
quiet
:
and
the
next
day
after
the
Captaines
wife
with
her
Companie
went
againe
vnto
the
palace
:
and
to
auoid
tediousnes
,
the
King
by
that
time
was
in
better
quietnes
,
receiuing
her
verie
curteously
,
and
saying
,
Good
woman
,
if
all
my
subiects
had
so
wise
and
discréete
wiues
,
peraduenture
they
should
increase
their
honor
and
wealth
,
and
I
accompt
my selfe
happie
.
I
say
this
,
for
that
in
truth
I
séeing
your
discretion
and
wise
reasons
,
haue
therewith
appeased
my
anger
,
and
you
thereby
haue
deliuered
your
husband
&
his
companie
from
my
wrath
and
heauie
displeasure
:
and
for
because
that
since
your
being
here
I
haue
béen
better
informed
than
I
was
,
tell
him
that
vpon
my
word
he
may
come
to
the
Court
,
with
all
his
frends
without
anie
perill
or
danger
.
But
for
auoyding
of
tumults
and
speaches
,
at
this
present
will
him
from
me
that
he
kéep
house
as
a
prisoner
,
vntill
I
send
him
word
vnto
the
contrarie
:
and
in
the
meane
time
I
pray
you
come
hither
and
sée
vs
,
because
I
take
great
pleasure
to
sée
and
behold
your
person
,
good
behauior
,
and
pleasant
speach
.
Whereat
the
Captaines
wife
kissed
his
taile
,
giuing
him
heartie
thankes
for
the
great
grace
and
fauour
he
shewed
,
as
she
full
well
could
doo
it
,
and
so
returned
vnto
vs
with
a
most
ioyfull
answere
:
although
some
of
vs
thought
it
not
conuenient
to
be
done
,
saying
it
was
but
subtilly
&
politikely
done
,
thereby
to
get
vs
into
his
hands
.
In
the
end
we
agréed
as
loyall
subiects
,
to
accomplish
the
commandement
of
our
King
,
trusting
vnto
〈◊〉
,
I
meane
our
mouthes
,
when
our
loyaltie
should
bee
brought
in
question
.
Whereupon
we
presently
remooued
vnto
the
Citie
,
and
entred
therein
,
finding
in
the
same
man
is
frends
,
which
as
then
shewes
themselues
,
perceiuing
our
enterprise
to
be
wel
taken
,
and
effectuated
,
but
before
they
burst
not
make
anie
show
thereof
,
as
the
olde
saying
is
,
When
Fortune
turneth
and
sendeth
thée
aduersitie
,
then
thy
frends
are
shaken
and
〈◊〉
from
thée
:
for
aduersitie
sheweth
who
be
frends
,
and
who
are
foes
.
Being
entred
,
we
retired
vnto
one
end
of
the
Citie
wherein
least
people
were
,
where
stood
houses
great
store
,
but
most
part
without
inhabitants
,
beeing
the
houses
of
such
as
wee
had
slaine
,
there
we
lodged
as
néere
as
wee
could
together
:
in
the
meane
time
giuing
commission
that
not
one
of
our
band
should
walk
abroad
into
the
Citie
,
that
the
Princes
will
might
be
fulfilled
.
Meane
time
the
Captaines
wife
,
went
euerie
day
vnto
the
Court
to
visite
the
King
,
as
he
had
commaunded
,
with
whom
she
became
a
great
frend
:
but
as
farre
as
I
could
perceiue
,
although
all
séemed
cléere
water
,
yet
the
beautifull
Luna
paid
for
all
,
for
the
going
with
her
sister
in
these
visitations
,
(
and
as
it
is
a
common
saying
,
Such
pilgrimes
,
such
saints
)
the
King
wan
her
fauour
so
well
,
that
in
the
ende
he
obtained
her
loue
:
which
I
verely
thinke
she
did
not
with
the
consent
of
her
sister
.
Which
Captaine
Licio
knew
verie
well
,
for
that
in
a
manner
he
deliuered
it
vnto
me
,
asking
my
counsell
therein
.
I
told
him
that
in
my
opinion
the
matter
was
not
great
,
specially
because
it
would
be
a
great
helpe
,
and
the
principall
occasion
of
procuring
our
libertie
.
And
so
it
fell
out
:
for
that
the
faire
Gentlewoman
Luna
was
so
priuie
with
the
King
,
that
within
eight
dayes
after
his
royall
coniunction
,
fall
out
what
would
,
we
were
all
pardoned
and
acquited
:
and
the
King
releasing
her
brother
in
law
,
sent
word
that
we
should
all
come
vnto
the
Court
.
Beeing
there
,
Licio
kissed
the
Kings
taile
,
which
he
offred
him
verie
willingly
,
and
I
did
the
like
,
although
with
an
euill
will
,
as
béeing
a
man
,
and
to
kisse
in
such
a
place
.
Then
the
King
said
vnto
vs
:
Captaine
,
I
being
informed
of
your
loyaltie
,
and
not
hearing
anie
thing
vnto
the
contrarie
,
therefore
from
henceforth
I
pardon
you
,
with
all
your
companie
,
frends
and
seruants
,
which
in
the
enterprise
past
did
aid
and
assist
you
:
and
because
hereafter
you
shal
be
here
attendant
at
our
Court
,
I
giue
vnto
you
all
the
houses
with
the
goods
therein
,
of
those
that
(
by
the
permission
of
God
)
lost
them
,
together
with
their
liues
:
giuing
you
likewise
the
same
office
that
our
Captaine
generall
had
:
and
from
henceforth
I
will
that
you
exercise
the
same
,
as
one
that
knoweth
well
how
to
vse
it
.
Whereat
we
fell
downe
before
him
,
and
our
Captaine
Licio
went
&
kissed
his
taile
once
againe
,
giuing
him
great
thankes
for
his
liberall
rewards
,
saying
,
that
he
trusted
in
God
to
doo
such
seruice
in
the
said
office
,
that
his
Highnes
should
think
it
well
bestowed
.
The
same
day
the
King
was
informed
of
poore
Lazarus
the
Tonny
,
although
at
that
time
I
was
so
rich
,
&
so
glad
to
sée
them
frends
,
that
me
thought
I
neuer
was
better
pleased
.
The
King
among
diuers
questions
,
asked
how
I
found
out
the
inuention
of
our
armes
.
I
answered
him
to
his
content
.
Then
he
asked
with
what
number
of
fishes
I
and
my
companie
durst
incounter
?
I
answered
,
the
Whales
excepted
,
I
could
ouercome
all
the
fishes
in
the
sea
.
Whereuppon
he
appointed
next
morning
to
sée
vs
all
muster
before
him
.
Next
day
Licio
our
Generall
and
I
,
with
all
the
rest
of
our
armed
companie
went
out
,
where
I
found
a
very
good
inuention
,
although
the
souldiers
vse
it
here
at
this
present
.
I
made
them
place
themselues
in
order
,
and
so
we
passed
before
his
Highnes
,
making
a
ring
:
which
although
the
Coronell
Villalua
and
his
companie
could
do
it
better
,
and
in
brauer
manner
,
yet
in
the
sea
they
hauing
not
séene
anie
esquadrons
made
,
it
séemed
strange
vnto
them
.
After
that
I
made
a
battaile
of
our
armed
Tonnies
together
,
placing
the
fairest
and
best
armed
in
the
first
rankes
,
willing
Melo
with
all
the
disarmed
,
and
with
thirtie
thousand
other
Tonnies
to
come
forth
and
skirmish
with
vs
:
who
compassed
vs
about
on
al
parts
.
But
we
placing
ours
in
good
order
,
and
holding
close
together
,
began
to
defend
our selues
so
well
,
and
to
strike
and
hurt
them
in
such
sort
,
that
all
the
sea
had
not
béen
sufficient
to
haue
entred
within
vs
.
The
king
séeing
that
I
had
told
him
truth
,
and
that
in
such
sort
we
could
not
be
hurt
,
called
vnto
Licio
and
said
,
This
your
frend
hath
maruellous
great
skill
in
armes
:
it
séemeth
vnto
me
that
in
this
manner
we
might
conquere
and
ouercome
the
whole
seas
.
It
is
most
true
as
your
Grace
saith
,
said
our
Captaine
generall
,
and
as
touching
the
good
industrie
of
the
strange
Tonny
,
my
good
frend
,
I
cannot
beléeue
or
be
perswaded
otherwise
,
but
that
he
commeth
from
God
,
and
was
brought
into
these
parts
for
the
augmentation
of
your
Highnes
honour
,
together
with
your
lands
and
dominions
,
which
your
Grace
may
verie
well
beléeue
:
for
the
qualities
and
parts
within
him
are
such
,
and
so
excellent
,
that
I
am
perswaded
there
is
not
anie
one
able
to
declare
them
in
briefe
:
for
he
is
the
wisest
&
discréetest
Tonny
that
is
at
this
day
in
the
sea
,
with
all
vertuous
and
honourable
,
likewise
most
true
,
and
verie
faithfull
,
indued
with
excellent
manners
and
behauiour
,
such
as
I
neuer
heard
speake
of
before
:
and
to
conclude
,
there
is
nothing
in
him
tending
vnto
euill
.
In
saying
thus
much
of
him
,
your
Highnes
must
not
thinke
that
I
speake
it
by
reason
of
the
good
will
I
beare
him
,
but
onely
because
I
know
it
to
be
most
true
.
Truely
said
the
King
,
that
Tonny
is
much
bound
vnto
God
,
vpon
whom
he
so
liberally
bestoweth
his
graces
and
benefites
:
and
because
you
report
so
well
of
him
,
it
is
good
reason
we
should
doo
him
honor
,
seeing
he
is
come
into
our
Court
,
wherefore
I
would
haue
you
aske
him
,
if
he
be
minded
to
remaine
here
with
vs
,
wherevnto
I
would
you
should
perswade
him
in
my
behalfe
:
and
it
may
be
he
shall
not
repent
him
of
our
companie
.
CHAP.
IX
.
How
Lazarus
agree
to
stay
at
the
Court
,
and
was
of
great
credit
,
and
verie
secret
with
the
King
.
THis
agréed
betwéene
them
,
the
Generall
tooke
vpon
him
to
declare
it
vnto
me
,
and
the
King
returned
vnto
the
Citie
,
and
we
likewise
.
Being
come
home
,
the
Captaine
tolde
mee
what
had
passed
(
as
touching
me
)
betwéene
the
King
and
him
,
and
how
he
desired
that
I
would
serue
him
,
with
other
things
,
In
the
end
,
I
being
intreated
(
with
my
great
honour
)
consented
thereunto
.
Now
behold
I
pray
you
,
your
Crier
of
wiues
in
Toledo
,
made
the
chiefe
man
in
the
Kings
house
,
with
charge
to
rule
and
gouerns
the
same
:
and
goe
&
tell
it
for
a
iest
.
Then
I
gaue
thankes
vnto
God
,
that
my
affaires
waxed
daily
better
,
and
sought
with
all
diligence
to
please
the
King
,
so
that
in
little
space
I
fell
into
such
credite
with
him
,
that
in
a
manner
not
anie
thing
whatsoeuer
,
were
it
of
great
or
small
importance
,
but
it
passed
through
my
hands
,
or
was
done
by
my
counsell
.
This
done
,
I
thought
it
not
conuenient
to
suffer
such
as
had
deserued
punishment
to
escape
:
because
I
knew
verie
well
,
how
and
in
what
manner
Licioes
sentence
had
bin
vniustly
giuen
,
although
the
king
had
past
it
ouer
in
silence
,
by
reason
the
Captaine
generall
was
a
Fish
of
great
accompt
and
of
great
power
.
Wherevpon
it
entred
into
my
minde
to
ring
the
bells
againe
,
and
said
vnto
the
King
,
that
there
had
a
matter
of
dishonor
happened
to
him
of
late
,
which
were
not
worthie
to
bee
kept
in
silence
,
because
it
was
a
meanes
to
cause
iustice
to
bee
done
,
as
a
thing
appertaining
vnto
his
Maiesties
seruice
,
that
such
as
are
faultie
should
be
punished
.
Which
his
Highnes
presently
committed
vnto
me
,
as
he
did
all
other
things
:
and
I
endeuored
my selfe
so
well
therin
,
that
I
caused
all
the
partakers
in
the
same
to
be
apprehended
,
when
they
little
thought
of
anie
such
matter
:
who
being
put
vnto
the
racke
,
confessed
they
had
sworn
falsly
in
the
cause
,
whereby
Licio
was
condemned
:
and
asking
them
wherefore
they
did
it
,
and
what
the
wicked
Generall
gaue
them
to
doo
it
,
they
answered
,
that
hee
had
not
giuen
nor
promised
them
anie
thing
,
neither
were
they
his
frends
or
seruants
.
O
sensles
and
miserable
sinners
,
O
contentious
men
said
I
,
which
complaine
that
your
aduersaries
condemne
you
by
false
witnesses
,
which
they
proued
against
such
times
:
come
come
I
say
vnto
the
sea
,
and
you
shall
behold
the
small
reason
you
haue
to
complaine
vpon
earth
:
for
that
if
the
same
your
aduersarie
doo
produce
false
witnesses
,
either
he
giueth
or
promiseth
them
somwhat
for
their
paines
,
or
else
they
wer
his
frends
or
acquaintance
befor
that
time
,
for
whom
he
promiseth
to
doo
the
like
:
but
these
vnfaithfull
fishes
are
neither
by
promise
,
by
reward
,
nor
frendship
mooued
thereuntoo
,
wherfore
they
are
so
much
the
more
to
be
blamed
and
worthie
of
punishment
,
and
so
they
were
hanged
.
I
vnderstood
farther
,
that
the
Clearke
by
whom
the
cause
was
pleaded
,
did
not
present
nor
yet
take
anie
writing
that
was
brought
him
in
the
behalfe
of
Licio
,
neyther
admitted
anie
one
to
speake
that
desired
to
answere
for
him
.
O
great
shame
said
I
,
which
although
if
be
suffred
on
earth
,
that
the
Clearkes
be
fauourable
,
yet
with
more
honestie
they
take
the
writings
,
although
they
put
them
not
into
the
Court
,
but
rather
say
they
be
lost
:
but
this
is
the
verie
act
of
the
diuell
.
The
like
was
found
in
the
Iudges
,
for
that
I
knew
it
could
not
bee
vprightly
done
,
that
the
Sentence
was
so
soone
giuen
:
wherein
I
blamed
the
Iudges
much
,
saying
vnto
them
,
that
a
plea
in
a
manner
for
two
strawes
is
not
commonly
ended
in
a
yeare
,
and
some
not
in
ten
,
nor
yet
twentie
:
and
you
dispatch
a
matter
touching
the
life
of
an
honourable
Fish
in
one
houre
.
Whereunto
they
could
not
answere
me
ought
to
excuse
theyr
fault
:
but
the
King
sent
expresse
commaundement
,
that
hee
would
haue
the
matter
dissembled
withall
as
touching
them
,
because
it
concerned
his
royall
authoritie
:
and
so
I
did
,
but
therwith
I
well
perceiued
and
saw
,
that
the
gracious
and
mightie
hand
of
him
that
humbleth
when
he
will
,
and
exalteth
whom
it
pleased
him
,
ruled
among
them
,
&
likewise
in
the
wicked
Generall
:
for
where
couetousnes
and
enuie
entreth
,
it
corrupteth
all
things
.
For
the
which
cause
the
King
of
Persia
punished
a
wicked
Iudge
most
gréeuously
,
causing
him
to
be
executed
,
and
after
flean
,
whose
skin
hee
nayled
vp
ouer
the
seate
of
Iustice
,
placing
the
Iudges
sonne
in
his
fathers
seate
:
whereby
the
Barbarian
King
did
verie
well
prouide
in
most
strange
manner
,
that
no
Iudge
after
that
time
should
be
corrupted
.
To
the
same
end
,
it
is
said
by
a
wise
man
,
That
where
affection
raigneth
,
reason
hath
no
place
:
and
that
the
good
Lawier
did
commit
verie
few
causes
vnto
the
Iudges
,
but
rather
let
them
bee
determined
by
law
,
because
the
Iudges
are
manie
times
corrupted
,
either
by
loue
,
hatred
or
guifts
:
whereby
they
are
induced
to
giue
manie
vniust
iudgements
.
For
which
cause
the
Scripture
saith
:
O
you
Iudges
take
no
giftes
,
which
blinde
the
wise
,
and
subuert
the
words
of
the
iust
.
This
I
learned
of
my
good
master
,
with
all
the
rest
of
my
experience
in
the
law
:
who
(
as
it
is
reported
)
was
better
learned
,
than
either
Bartolus
or
Seneca
.
But
to
returne
vnto
my
first
purpose
.
I
told
ye
the
King
sent
word
it
should
be
so
,
although
it
went
wholly
against
my
minde
.
In
the
meane
time
,
the
Generall
by
the
Kings
commaundement
,
had
a
voyage
to
make
,
which
was
with
a
great
Armie
to
inuade
the
Sturgeons
,
whom
wee
presently
ouercame
,
making
their
King
tributarie
:
for
the
which
he
deliuered
hostage
,
with
condition
to
pay
yearly
for
a
tribute
vnto
our
King
a
great
summe
of
money
,
and
withall
to
deliuer
him
one
hundreth
female
Sturgeons
,
&
one
hundreth
males
:
which
male
Sturgeons
because
they
are
a
daintie
fish
,
the
king
eate
them
at
his
owne
table
,
&
the
females
he
kept
for
his
pleasure
.
After
that
,
our
General
went
against
the
Porpeses
,
which
he
ouercame
,
&
brought
vnder
our
subiection
.
Wherewith
the
number
of
our
armed
Tonnies
grew
so
great
and
puissant
,
that
we
held
manie
kinde
of
fishes
in
subiection
vnder
vs
,
all
which
became
tributaries
and
gaue
pledges
,
as
we
said
before
.
Then
our
Captaine
(
not
being
contenced
with
the
victories
past
)
armed
himselfe
against
the
Cocodriles
,
which
are
a
kinde
of
most
fierce
fishes
,
and
liue
sometime
in
the
sea
,
and
sometime
on
the
land
,
with
whom
we
had
manie
battailes
:
and
although
wee
lost
some
,
yet
for
the
most
part
he
bare
away
the
victorie
.
But
it
was
no
meruaile
that
we
lost
some
,
because
(
as
I
said
before
)
those
kinde
of
fishes
are
verie
fierce
&
cruell
,
great
bodied
,
with
great
téeth
and
long
tuskes
,
wherewith
they
tare
in
péeces
as
many
of
vs
as
they
could
reach
into
their
pawes
:
and
yet
for
all
their
fiercenes
,
we
manie
times
put
them
to
the
worst
,
vnles
if
were
somtimes
when
they
saw
themselues
ouer-pressed
by
our
Tonnies
,
then
they
forsooke
the
water
,
and
took
the
land
,
and
so
they
escaped
.
Which
our
Captaine
Licio
perceiuing
,
in
the
end
left
them
,
after
he
had
spoyled
great
numbers
of
them
:
and
hee
himself
likewise
receiued
great
damage
,
and
lost
the
good
Melo
his
brother
:
which
caused
no
smal
gréefe
throughout
the
whole
Armie
.
But
our
comfort
was
,
that
he
died
like
a
valiant
Tonnie
:
for
it
was
reported
vnto
vs
for
a
truth
,
that
before
they
killed
him
,
he
in
person
with
his
sword
(
wherewith
he
was
very
nimble
)
killed
more
than
a
thousand
Cocodriles
,
&
yet
they
had
not
killed
him
,
if
it
had
not
chanced
,
that
they
flying
,
and
he
after
them
,
he
sodainly
fell
vpon
the
land
,
&
there
stayed
,
by
which
meanes
(
not
being
able
to
be
seconded
by
his
companie
)
the
enemie
tare
him
in
péeces
.
In
the
end
,
good
Captaine
Licio
returned
from
the
warres
,
the
most
renowned
fish
that
then
liued
in
the
seas
,
bringing
with
him
great
&
rich
spoyles
,
which
he
gaue
wholly
vnto
the
King
,
without
taking
anie
thing
for
himselfe
.
At
his
returne
,
his
Highnes
receiued
him
with
such
countenance
and
entertainment
,
as
belonged
vnto
a
fish
that
had
done
him
so
great
seruice
and
honour
,
and
withall
bestowed
most
liberall
rewards
vpon
him
,
as
also
vnto
those
that
had
followed
him
:
in
such
manner
,
that
euerie
one
found
himselfe
contented
and
pleased
.
And
the
King
to
shew
the
greater
fauour
vnto
Licio
,
mourned
for
Melo
his
brother
the
space
of
eight
dayes
,
and
so
did
we
al.
Your
worship
must
vnderstand
,
that
the
mourning
among
the
fishes
,
is
,
that
when
they
are
sad
and
mourne
,
during
that
time
they
speak
not
,
but
onely
by
signes
aske
what
they
desire
to
haue
.
And
this
is
the
manner
that
is
obserued
among
them
,
when
as
their
husbands
,
wiues
,
children
,
or
frends
doe
die
,
they
mourne
in
that
sort
as
I
said
before
,
and
kéep
it
so
straightly
,
that
it
is
holden
for
a
great
ignomie
,
and
that
the
greatest
that
may
be
found
within
the
seas
,
if
when
they
mourne
they
chance
to
speake
,
vntill
such
time
as
the
King
sending
vnto
them
,
willeth
them
to
leaue
mourning
:
and
then
they
speak
as
they
did
before
.
I
heard
it
reported
among
them
,
that
a
Lord
(
for
the
death
of
a
Ladie
whom
he
loued
,
and
kept
as
his
frend
)
mourned
in
his
owne
Countrey
for
the
space
of
ten
yeares
,
and
for
all
that
the
King
could
doo
,
he
might
not
cause
him
to
leaue
off
mourning
,
because
that
at
such
time
as
he
sent
him
word
to
leaue
off
,
he
sent
word
to
beséech
his
Grace
,
to
cause
him
to
bee
killed
,
rather
than
leaue
off
mourning
:
which
he
could
not
do
.
And
which
is
more
,
I
was
tolde
(
wherein
I
tooke
great
pleasure
to
heare
it
)
that
his
seruants
perceiuing
his
long
silence
,
some
of
them
at
a
month
,
others
another
month
,
and
other
some
at
two
months
,
as
they
desired
to
speake
,
forsooke
his
house
,
so
that
in
the
end
he
had
not
one
left
:
and
here
with
his
mourning
continued
so
long
,
that
although
he
had
desired
to
leaue
it
,
hee
knew
not
with
whom
to
speake
.
When
they
tolde
me
this
,
I
called
to
my
remembrance
diuers
talkatiue
men
,
with
whom
I
am
verie
well
acquainted
,
who
neuer
leaue
talking
,
but
assoone
as
one
tale
is
ended
,
they
begin
againe
.
And
many
times
,
because
they
would
not
loose
companie
,
they
cut
off
their
tales
in
the
middle
,
and
begin
others
,
and
so
continue
vntill
the
very
night
come
vpon
them
,
that
they
must
néeds
leaue
company
,
or
els
they
would
neuer
haue
done
,
and
the
worst
is
,
that
these
men
do
not
perceiue
how
much
they
offend
God
and
the
world
herein
,
and
I
thinke
are
little
lesse
,
then
troublesome
vnto
the
diuel
himselfe
,
and
he
that
will
be
wise
,
let
him
flie
the
companie
of
these
fooles
,
because
like
requireth
like
,
for
their
paines
,
I
wish
they
were
vassalls
vnto
this
Barron
:
and
that
during
their
aboad
with
him
,
his
friend
might
die
,
that
I
might
be
reuenged
on
them
.
CHAP.
X.
How
the
King
and
Licio
determined
to
marry
Lazarus
vnto
the
faire
Ladie
Luna
,
and
how
they
were
married
.
BVt
returning
vnto
our
matter
,
the
mourning
,
and
sorrow
,
holden
for
the
death
of
Melo
,
being
past
,
the
king
sent
word
that
with
all
spéede
the
number
of
armed
Tonnies
should
bee
new
supplied
and
increased
,
and
that
they
should
go
séeke
more
armes
,
which
was
presently
done
.
At
which
time
it
séemed
good
vnto
the
king
to
marry
me
,
to
some
one
whom
he
thought
good
,
and
therupon
he
dealt
with
Licio
about
the
same
,
vnto
whom
he
committed
the
matter
,
but
he
would
willingly
haue
bene
quit
of
the
charge
,
because
he
knew
somewhat
by
her
,
but
for
that
it
pleased
the
king
,
he
durst
not
otherwise
doo
:
so
he
brake
the
matter
vnto
me
,
being
not
a
little
ashamed
to
do
it
,
saying
:
that
he
sawe
and
knew
I
deserued
more
honour
,
as
my
déedes
witnessed
,
but
the
king
had
expresly
commanded
that
he
should
be
the
mariage
maker
.
In
the
end
,
the
matter
being
at
that
point
,
it
is
my
good
fortune
,
sayd
I
vnto
my selfe
,
a
nayle
is
not
good
to
play
at
tennis
withall
,
and
a
plague
of
such
a
ball
as
cannot
be
taken
but
at
the
second
rebound
,
and
séeing
it
pleaseth
God
it
shall
be
no
otherwise
,
and
that
it
is
for
my
profite
and
aduancement
,
it
is
reason
that
I
climbe
from
a
priest
vnto
a
king
.
In
the
ende
I
did
it
,
and
my
mariage
was
solemnized
,
with
so
great
triumphs
and
feastings
,
as
if
it
had
bene
for
a
prince
,
being
honored
with
the
degrée
of
a
vicount
,
that
the
king
gaue
me
with
her
,
which
if
I
had
it
here
vpon
earth
,
would
do
me
much
more
good
than
in
the
sea
,
in
the
end
from
the
base
or
meanest
Tonny
,
my
name
rose
vnto
a
Signior
.
In
the
manner
my
signory
led
a
tryumphant
life
,
married
very
richly
with
my
faire
and
new
wife
,
the
Ladie
Luna
,
but
much
better
with
my
king
,
not
forsaking
his
seruice
,
deuising
still
howe
I
might
please
and
content
him
,
séeing
I
found
my selfe
so
much
bounde
vnto
him
,
so
that
there
was
no
time
by
me
omitted
,
wherein
I
made
him
not
merrie
,
howesoeuer
it
fell
out
,
but
still
I
tooke
care
not
to
say
any
thing
whereby
he
might
be
greeued
or
angry
,
hauing
alwaies
in
memorie
,
how
litle
they
are
estéemed
and
accounted
off
with
great
Lordes
,
that
tell
them
the
truth
.
Withall
remembring
the
entertainment
that
Alexander
gaue
vnto
the
Philosopher
Calistines
,
for
declaring
the
truth
vnto
him
,
&
by
this
meanes
I
sped
not
ill
:
besides
,
I
behaued
my selfe
in
such
sort
vnto
both
great
and
litle
,
that
they
sought
my
friendship
almost
as
much
as
the
kings
.
At
the
same
time
I
though
to
frame
&
confirme
the
estate
of
the
sea
,
like
vnto
that
of
the
land
,
whereupon
I
aduised
the
king
,
and
tolde
him
it
were
conuenient
that
séeing
hee
bare
the
burthen
of
all
,
he
should
reape
the
profite
,
and
it
was
thus
:
for
that
as
then
the
Crowne
had
no
other
rentes
or
reuenewes
then
only
the
thirtieth
part
of
all
things
that
were
solde
,
and
when
hée
helde
warre
for
a
iust
cause
concerning
his
Country
,
they
gaue
him
the
fishes
necessary
and
conuenient
for
the
same
warres
,
and
paide
for
them
,
and
only
tenne
fishes
for
his
owne
table
euery
day
,
I
brought
it
to
passe
,
that
when
they
fished
they
should
euery
one
giue
him
as
much
,
and
that
it
should
be
a
custome
as
it
is
vpon
the
lande
,
and
that
they
should
allow
him
50.
fishes
euery
day
for
his
owne
table
:
I
caused
it
likewise
to
be
ordeined
,
that
if
any
of
his
subiects
were
called
a
Don
,
vnlesse
he
were
so
by
lawful
and
liniall
dissent
of
patrimony
,
he
should
pay
a
certaine
sum
for
a
fine
vnto
his
highnesse
,
and
this
statute
I
thought
to
be
conuenient
,
because
the
pride
of
the
fishes
is
so
great
,
that
both
good
and
bad
,
riche
&
poore
,
all
are
Dons
,
as
Don
here
,
and
Don
there
,
Don
when
,
and
Don
where
:
I
did
this
,
calling
to
minde
the
commendable
behauiour
of
the
women
of
my
country
,
that
if
any
chance
to
fall
into
that
degrée
,
either
she
shal
be
the
daughter
of
an
honest
housholder
,
or
of
a
squier
,
or
els
be
married
with
some
that
is
written
worshipfull
,
or
vnto
some
other
man
of
qualitie
:
for
before
they
be
such
,
and
of
good
welth
,
they
call
them
not
by
the
title
of
Don
,
but
in
the
sea
,
not
so
much
as
the
daughter
of
a
meane
artificer
,
or
a
begger
(
if
she
marry
a
man
,
although
he
be
no
Officer
at
all
,
)
but
they
presume
within
eight
dayes
after
to
put
the
name
of
Don
vpon
their
tayles
,
as
if
that
name
of
Don
would
make
them
frée
from
being
the
children
of
dishonest
parents
,
and
of
those
that
had
no
such
titles
,
and
as
though
many
of
them
should
not
bee
ashamed
,
least
they
giue
cause
to
haue
their
fathers
taken
out
of
their
graues
,
and
the
memory
of
them
to
be
again
renued
,
and
so
their
neghbors
might
laugh
at
them
,
and
at
their
worshippes
,
which
they
take
vpon
them
,
knowing
it
not
to
be
verie
sounde
,
but
therein
they
showe
themselues
to
bee
the
more
fonde
and
light
headed
.
It
séemed
good
vnto
the
king
to
set
it
at
a
high
rate
,
wherby
in
short
space
séeing
it
cost
money
,
there
woulde
not
bee
many
Dons
founde
.
Of
these
things
,
and
of
the
newe
Impositions
moste
profitable
for
the
king
,
I
enformed
his
highnesse
.
And
hee
perceiuing
my
great
care
and
dilligence
in
his
seruice
,
was
not
slacke
in
rewarding
mée
,
but
rather
became
more
liberall
and
bountifull
vnto
mée
.
At
the
same
time
I
thought
vpon
my
poore
Squier
of
Teledo
,
or
rather
vppon
his
wise
spéeches
,
when
as
I
complained
vnto
my selfe
,
that
I
coulde
not
finde
any
Gentleman
of
account
with
whom
I
might
be
,
and
if
I
chanced
to
find
one
,
I
vnderstood
him
to
be
very
nigardly
and
sparing
:
Then
he
told
me
of
that
,
which
I
after
vsed
in
the
sea
,
as
a
thing
very
profitable
for
mee
,
specially
one
pointe
therein
,
whereof
I
was
very
carefull
,
whiche
was
,
that
I
tooke
great
care
not
to
say
any
thing
vnto
the
king
that
might
offend
him
,
and
as
it
is
a
great
pointe
of
wisedome
,
I
altogither
followed
his
humor
,
vsing
great
curtesie
,
and
shewing
great
fauour
,
vnto
such
as
he
fauoured
,
although
they
nothing
deserued
it
,
and
to
such
as
hee
liked
not
of
,
I
vsed
them
hardly
,
speaking
euill
of
them
,
although
I
founde
it
not
in
them
,
and
not
refusing
to
do
for
any
were
they
neuer
so
badde
.
Remembring
the
sayd
Calistines
,
that
for
saying
the
truth
vnto
his
maister
Alexander
the
great
,
he
caused
him
to
bee
cruelly
put
to
death
,
although
his
death
it
might
be
estéemed
a
life
,
séeing
it
was
for
so
iust
a
cause
,
but
now
no
man
vseth
it
,
but
all
séeke
to
liue
in
such
manner
,
that
I
bent
my selfe
as
much
as
I
could
vnto
that
humor
,
and
by
this
meanes
my
soppe
fell
into
the
hony
,
and
my
house
was
filled
with
rich
riches
,
but
although
I
was
a
Fish
,
I
had
the
vnderstanding
of
a
man
,
and
the
accursed
couetousnesse
which
at
this
day
raigneth
so
much
in
man
,
for
that
a
beast
hauing
his
naturall
foode
,
desireth
nor
séeketh
not
any
more
.
As
the
Cocke
careth
not
for
all
the
pearles
in
the
East
,
if
hee
may
haue
his
belly
full
of
corne
,
nor
the
Oxe
for
all
the
gold
in
India
,
if
he
haue
grasse
inough
,
and
so
is
it
with
all
other
beasts
,
only
the
beastly
desire
of
man
is
neuer
satisfied
,
specially
if
it
be
infected
with
couetousnesse
.
I
say
this
,
because
that
notwithstanding
all
the
riches
I
had
,
(
as
there
was
not
almost
any
king
in
the
sea
,
that
had
more
,
yet
I
was
so
pricked
forewarde
by
that
gréedie
couetousnesse
,
and
not
with
any
lawfull
meanes
,
that
I
caused
some
to
go
vnto
the
gulphes
of
Leon
,
and
Yerro
,
others
I
sent
vnto
the
banckes
of
Flaunders
,
where
diuers
ships
full
of
men
wer
cast
away
,
and
to
such
places
wher
any
battels
had
bin
fought
vppon
the
seas
,
from
whence
they
brought
mee
great
quantitie
of
gold
,
so
that
I
thinke
they
brought
me
at
the
least
fiue
hundreth
thousand
Dollors
,
(
a
kinde
of
Spanish
mony
)
the
king
laughed
when
he
sawe
me
so
reioyce
,
and
to
lie
tombling
vpon
my
mony
,
and
asked
me
what
those
vaine
things
meant
,
séeing
they
were
neither
to
be
eaten
nor
yet
to
be
carried
about
me
,
whereat
I
sayd
vnto
my selfe
:
If
thou
knewest
what
they
meane
as
well
as
I
do
,
thou
wouldest
not
aske
me
such
a
question
,
but
I
answered
him
,
that
I
meant
to
vse
them
for
counters
,
wherewith
he
was
satisfied
,
but
after
I
came
againe
to
dwell
on
earth
,
as
I
will
shewe
you
,
a
plague
of
them
all
for
any
that
I
euer
saw
,
and
if
I
had
al
those
here
that
were
broght
me
in
the
sea
,
I
shuld
haue
no
néed
of
any
man
,
but
then
I
must
be
forced
to
kéepe
them
in
some
other
such
déep
and
secret
place
,
least
I
might
happen
to
lose
them
.
At
that
time
I
desired
,
if
it
had
bene
possible
,
to
finde
a
ship
that
would
take
and
lade
them
in
,
(
although
I
should
giue
the
halfe
part
for
the
fraught
,
)
and
deliuer
the
rest
to
my
Eluira
in
Toledo
,
that
with
some
of
them
she
might
marry
my
daughter
,
for
I
was
wel
assured
that
there
were
many
that
would
not
refuse
her
,
being
the
daughter
of
a
Crier
.
And
with
this
desire
,
I
skipped
twice
or
thrice
after
ships
,
that
came
from
the
West
,
crying
vnto
them
,
aboue
the
water
,
that
they
might
hearken
vnto
me
,
thinking
they
would
vnderstand
me
,
and
imagine
my
meaning
,
and
although
they
were
not
faithfull
messengers
to
carry
the
treasure
,
or
some
part
thereof
,
vnto
Toledo
,
wherewith
they
might
profit
men
,
and
do
them
good
withall
,
yet
it
would
content
my
minde
,
for
the
loue
I
beare
vnto
mankinde
,
but
when
I
called
them
,
or
they
perceiued
me
aboue
water
,
they
presently
cast
hookes
and
dartes
at
me
,
to
kill
me
,
wherewith
I
turned
and
went
againe
vnto
my
house
,
sometimes
I
wished
that
Toledo
were
a
port
of
the
sea
,
that
I
might
fill
it
with
riches
,
for
that
I
doubted
not
but
my
wife
and
my
childe
should
get
some
part
thereof
.
And
with
these
and
other
thoughts
and
imaginations
,
I
passed
my
time
,
and
spent
my
life
in
the
sea
.

How
Lazarus
departing
from
the
Truth
,
going
with
the
female
Tonnies
to
bring
forth
their
yoong
,
he
was
taken
in
the
Fisher
mens
Nets
,
and
turned
againe
into
a
man
.
GOing
very
chéerfully
vnto
the
Court
,
being
greatly
comforted
with
the
words
that
the
Truth
had
vsed
vnto
me
,
I
liued
for
a
time
verie
merely
in
the
sea
,
and
then
the
time
drew
neare
,
that
the
female
Tonnies
should
bee
deliuered
of
their
yoong
,
of
that
voyage
the
King
willed
me
to
goe
,
because
he
alwaies
sent
some
strength
with
them
,
to
defende
them
,
and
at
that
time
Licio
was
sicke
,
if
hée
had
béene
well
,
I
knowe
hée
woulde
haue
gone
that
voyage
,
and
since
I
had
bene
in
the
Sea
,
I
had
gone
thrée
or
foure
times
,
because
euery
yeare
once
they
vse
the
same
order
.
In
that
voyage
,
I
tooke
with
me
tenne
thousande
female
Tonnies
,
and
there
were
aboue
fiue
hundreth
thousande
female
Tonnies
which
were
all
big
with
yoong
.
We
hauing
taken
our
leaue
of
the
king
,
went
on
our
iourney
,
and
in
the
end
entred
into
the
straights
of
Gibraltar
,
and
being
past
them
,
we
came
vnto
Couil
,
and
to
Vexar
,
places
vnder
the
dominion
of
the
Duke
of
Medina
Sodinia
,
whereas
they
prepared
an
armie
readie
against
vs
,
of
the
which
I
being
aduertised
,
and
that
there
wee
were
wont
to
bee
hardly
dealt
withall
,
willed
them
to
take
care
of
themselues
,
but
they
being
desirous
to
bee
deliuered
in
that
place
,
it
beeing
prepared
readie
for
that
purpose
,
howe
well
soeuer
they
looked
vnto
themselues
I
knowe
not
,
but
this
I
am
sure
of
,
that
in
the
space
of
eight
or
nine
dayes
,
I
wanted
aboue
fiftie
thousand
female
Tonnies
.
Which
dammage
wee
perceiuing
,
agreed
to
put
our
valiaunt
Armed
Tonnies
with
them
into
the
key
of
the
Hauen
,
and
while
that
they
were
deliuered
of
their
yoong
ones
,
if
the
Fisher-men
sought
meanes
to
take
them
,
wee
would
strike
in
among
the
Fisher-men
and
their
Nets
,
cutting
them
asunder
in
small
péeces
,
but
wée
deceiued
our selues
,
and
founde
that
our
deuice
did
fall
out
cleane
contrarie
to
all
our
expectations
,
by
reason
of
the
great
strength
and
skill
that
the
men
vsed
,
whiche
is
muche
greater
than
that
of
the
Tonnies
,
and
so
by
their
mightie
force
they
tooke
vs
all
,
with
an
infinite
nomber
of
the
female
Tonnies
in
one
Nette
,
without
in
a
manner
receiuing
anie
damage
of
vs
,
but
rather
great
gaines
,
and
as
my
companions
perceiued
themselues
taken
,
they
were
dismayed
,
and
therewith
beginning
to
sigh
,
let
their
armes
fall
out
of
their
mouthes
,
whiche
I
did
not
,
but
they
tooke
mee
with
my
sworde
,
hauing
therewith
done
sufficient
dammage
vnto
their
Nets
,
and
with
mée
they
tooke
my
faire
and
seconde
wife
.
The
Fisher-men
wondring
to
sée
mée
armed
in
that
sort
,
sought
to
make
me
forsake
my
sworde
,
whiche
I
still
helde
verie
fast
,
but
they
pulled
so
long
thereat
,
that
in
the
ende
,
they
pulled
an
arme
and
a
hande
out
of
my
mouth
,
(
wherin
I
held
my
sword
,
)
and
then
they
perceiued
in
my
heade
,
my
forehead
,
eyes
,
nose-thrilles
,
and
the
halfe
of
my
mouth
.
They
being
much
abashed
at
this
fighte
,
helde
mee
fast
by
the
arme
,
and
others
taking
me
by
the
necke
,
beganne
to
plucke
me
out
of
my
fishes
skinne
,
and
as
I
was
halfe
out
of
my
case
,
I
looked
about
,
and
perceiued
hard
by
mee
my
poore
wife
Luna
,
in
great
feare
,
and
rather
in
more
perplexitie
then
the
Fisher-men
,
vnto
whom
I
beganne
to
speake
in
mans
language
,
and
sayde
;
Brethren
,
discharge
I
pray
you
your
consciences
,
and
let
none
of
you
offer
to
kill
mee
with
the
brasser
,
for
you
must
knowe
that
I
am
a
man
as
you
are
,
but
make
an
ende
of
pulling
me
out
out
of
my
skinne
,
and
I
will
declare
great
secrets
vnto
you
.
I
saide
this
,
because
many
of
my
companions
laie
harde
by
mee
dead
,
and
their
heades
broken
in
péeces
,
with
staues
whiche
the
Fishermen
had
for
that
purpose
:
and
then
I
desired
them
of
courtesie
,
that
they
would
let
that
female
Tonny
next
vnto
mee
to
swimme
away
,
because
she
had
bene
my
companion
and
wife
a
great
time
,
and
they
being
greatly
astonished
to
sée
and
heare
me
,
did
as
I
desired
them
.
But
at
such
time
as
my
companion
departed
from
mée
,
wéeping
and
in
great
feare
,
I
saide
vnto
her
in
my
Tonnies
language
,
Luna
my
swéete
heart
,
I
commit
thée
to
God
,
I
pray
thée
come
no
more
hither
to
bee
taken
,
but
shewe
the
King
and
all
my
friends
what
thou
hast
séene
,
and
I
pray
thée
likewise
to
haue
a
care
of
thy
honour
and
mine
.
Which
done
,
she
without
making
me
any
answere
,
skipped
into
the
water
,
and
went
her
way
in
great
feare
:
vs
they
tooke
from
thence
,
and
in
my
presence
killed
my
companions
,
and
cut
them
in
péeces
at
the
water
side
,
and
kept
me
half
a
man
and
half
a
fish
in
the
sand
,
with
great
feare
lest
they
wold
burne
me
:
the
fishing
being
ended
the
day
,
they
asked
me
many
questions
and
I
told
them
the
truth
of
euerie
thing
,
praying
them
to
pull
me
whole
out
of
my
fishes
skinne
,
which
as
then
they
did
not
,
but
the
same
night
they
set
me
vpon
a
Mule
,
and
brought
me
vnto
Siuil
,
presenting
me
vnto
the
most
noble
Duke
of
Medina
,
great
was
the
admiration
that
both
men
and
women
had
to
sée
me
,
for
that
in
long
time
there
had
not
any
thing
so
wonderfull
happened
in
Spaine
.
In
that
case
they
held
me
for
the
space
of
eight
dayes
,
during
the
which
time
,
they
vnderstood
of
me
,
what
troubles
I
had
passed
:
but
at
the
ende
of
eight
dayes
,
I
felt
my selfe
not
well
in
the
part
of
my
bodie
that
was
Fishe
,
and
it
spoyled
because
it
felt
not
the
water
,
so
I
besought
the
Duke
and
the
Duches
,
that
for
the
loue
of
God
,
they
woulde
cause
me
to
be
pulled
out
of
that
prison
,
séeing
I
was
brought
vnto
his
grace
,
shewing
them
what
paine
I
felt
,
wherunto
they
agreed
,
and
it
was
appointed
to
bee
cried
throughout
all
the
Towne
of
Siuil
,
that
I
should
be
pulled
out
of
my
fishes
skinne
,
that
thereby
euerie
man
might
come
and
sée
my
conuersion
,
which
should
bee
done
vppon
a
scaffold
set
vp
in
an
open
market
place
before
his
lodging
,
that
all
men
might
beholde
it
.
The
Dukes
lodging
was
hard
by
the
Towne
of
Siuil
,
all
the
stréets
entering
into
the
Market
place
were
full
,
and
not
so
much
as
the
toppes
of
houses
,
but
were
laden
with
people
,
such
an
innumerable
sort
resorted
thither
at
that
time
,
then
the
Duke
willed
them
to
go
,
and
fetche
me
out
of
my
Cage
wherein
they
had
kept
mee
euer
since
they
brought
mee
from
the
sea
side
,
in
the
way
I
was
muche
troubled
,
because
of
the
great
multitude
of
people
,
that
flocked
about
me
,
by
which
meanes
if
I
had
not
had
Iron
grates
betwéen
me
and
them
,
without
all
doubt
they
had
smothered
me
to
death
.
O
good
God
said
I
,
what
alteration
is
there
now
in
mee
?
for
that
I
haue
séene
a
man
in
a
Cage
,
although
not
greatly
at
his
ease
,
but
I
neuer
sawe
a
man
turned
into
a
fish
.
So
they
tooke
me
out
and
carried
me
vnto
the
market
place
,
with
fiftie
Holberdiers
going
about
me
,
to
kéepe
the
people
from
me
,
and
yet
could
verie
hardly
do
it
.

How
Lazarus
was
openly
vpon
a
stage
from
a
Tonny
fish
,
conuerted
in
Siuill
,
vnto
a
man
.
THen
I
being
set
vpon
the
scaffold
,
they
began
to
pull
mee
,
some
by
that
part
of
my
bodie
that
was
out
alreadie
,
and
others
by
the
fishes
tayle
,
in
such
manner
,
that
in
the
ende
they
pulled
mee
out
as
naked
as
euer
I
came
foorth
of
my
mothers
wombe
,
and
there
lay
the
Tonnie
,
being
nothing
but
a
skinne
.
Then
they
presently
gaue
me
a
cloak
to
couer
me
withall
,
and
the
Duke
commaunded
that
a
sute
of
his
apparell
should
bee
brought
me
,
which
although
they
fitted
me
not
,
yet
I
put
them
on
:
and
then
I
was
so
feasted
and
visited
by
the
people
,
that
during
the
time
of
my
continuance
there
,
I
had
in
a
manner
no
time
to
take
my
rest
,
for
that
both
night
and
day
they
ceased
not
to
come
and
sée
me
,
and
to
aske
me
diuers
questions
,
and
he
that
could
get
but
a
time
to
heare
me
,
thought
himselfe
happie
.
But
within
certaine
dayes
after
my
conuersion
,
I
fell
sicke
,
because
the
earth
did
alter
me
,
being
as
then
not
accustomed
therunto
,
for
that
betwéene
the
nature
of
the
sea
and
land
there
is
great
difference
:
so
that
then
I
began
to
cleanse
and
purge
my selfe
,
in
such
manner
,
as
I
thought
verely
that
my
troubles
and
my
life
would
haue
ended
both
together
,
I
pray
God
deliuer
mee
from
this
and
other
troubles
.
At
the
last
,
when
I
felt
my selfe
strong
and
able
to
walke
,
I
tooke
my
leaue
of
my
frends
there
,
who
full
sore
against
their
wills
granted
it
vnto
me
,
for
that
they
desired
to
haue
had
me
still
there
with
them
,
to
heare
the
meruailous
things
that
had
happened
vnto
me
:
wherunto
I
made
no
conscience
to
adde
somewhat
,
which
they
verely
beléeued
,
because
they
had
séene
me
so
wonderfully
conuerted
.
But
in
the
ende
without
staying
anie
longer
,
they
let
me
goe
,
and
sent
me
away
verie
well
prouided
for
my
iourney
,
and
so
vpon
the
day
before
the
feast
of
Pentecost
last
past
,
I
came
vnto
Toledo
,
the
most
desirous
man
in
the
world
to
sée
my
wife
and
childe
,
and
imbracing
her
a
thousand
times
,
which
manner
of
pleasure
I
had
not
had
for
the
space
of
foure
yeares
,
because
it
is
not
vsed
in
the
sea
,
for
there
is
nothing
else
but
noddes
and
kisses
.
I
came
into
the
Towne
by
night
,
and
went
straight
vnto
my
house
,
which
I
found
without
anie
bodie
in
it
:
for
they
were
all
gone
vnto
my
Master
the
Priests
house
,
where
they
were
alreadie
gone
to
bed
&
asléepe
.
But
I
gaue
so
manie
blowes
at
the
dore
,
that
therewith
they
wakened
,
asking
mee
who
was
there
?
I
telling
them
,
my
wife
Eluira
answered
me
verie
sharply
with
a
lowd
voyce
:
Away
thou
drunkard
whatsoeuer
thou
art
,
that
walkest
the
stréetes
at
this
time
of
the
night
for
to
mocke
and
deceiue
poore
widowes
:
comming
now
at
the
ende
of
thrée
or
foure
yeares
,
(
that
to
my
euill
fortune
God
tooke
away
my
husband
,
and
drowned
him
in
the
sea
,
in
sight
of
his
master
,
and
of
manie
other
that
saw
him
sinke
downe
)
to
tell
vs
a
iest
:
&
therwith
she
went
to
bed
againe
,
without
anie
more
harkening
vnto
me
:
wherewith
I
began
againe
to
call
&
knocke
at
the
dore
.
Then
my
Master
the
Priest
beeing
chafed
,
rose
vp
,
and
came
vnto
the
window
,
and
with
a
lowd
voyce
said
,
what
would
that
fellow
haue
,
what
kind
of
dealing
is
this
?
I
would
faine
know
who
thou
art
,
that
in
the
morning
I
may
reward
thée
for
this
thy
vncurteous
dealing
,
which
at
this
time
of
the
night
commest
vnto
mens
doores
that
are
at
rest
,
telling
them
iests
,
and
making
such
a
noise
,
that
thou
breakest
both
their
sléep
and
their
rest
.
Signior
(
said
I
)
let
not
your
worship
bee
offended
,
and
if
you
desire
so
much
to
know
who
I
am
,
asmuch
doo
I
desire
to
tell
it
you
.
I
am
your
Crier
Lazaro
de
Tormes
.
I
had
scarce
vttered
my
words
,
but
I
felt
a
stone
come
buzzing
cloase
by
my
eares
,
&
that
with
a
good
will
,
and
after
that
two
or
thrée
more
:
which
striking
against
the
stones
in
the
stréete
,
for
that
it
was
paued
,
made
the
fier
to
sparkle
out
of
them
.
I
perceiuing
the
danger
,
and
hoping
for
no
better
reason
at
his
hands
for
that
time
,
went
downe
the
next
stréete
that
lay
before
mee
:
and
being
a
good
way
past
the
house
,
I
staied
,
and
he
was
still
in
the
window
,
crying
out
alowd
:
Come
againe
to
mocke
vs
,
and
sée
how
thou
shalt
spéed
.
I
remembred
my selfe
,
and
thought
to
haue
turned
backe
,
and
once
againe
to
proue
the
aduenture
,
because
I
was
not
desirous
to
discouer
my selfe
vnto
anie
other
.
But
because
it
was
verie
late
,
I
determined
to
passe
the
rest
of
the
night
there
,
and
in
the
morning
to
goe
vnto
mine
owne
house
.
But
it
fell
out
cleane
contrarie
:
for
not
farre
from
the
place
where
I
stood
,
there
was
one
of
the
Sheriffes
of
the
Towne
,
which
kept
watch
about
the
same
:
who
taking
my
sword
from
me
,
led
me
vnto
prison
.
I
knew
some
of
my
Masters
the
Serieants
that
were
with
him
,
and
calling
them
by
their
names
,
I
tolde
them
who
I
was
:
but
they
laughing
at
me
,
sayd
,
that
it
was
more
than
thrée
yeares
past
that
he
whom
I
spake
of
dyed
in
the
Voyage
of
Argiel
,
and
so
went
with
mee
vnto
prison
,
where
I
staied
till
day
light
:
which
being
come
,
when
others
made
them
readie
and
prepared
themselues
to
goe
to
Church
,
and
to
kéepe
so
holie
and
Festiuall
day
,
I
thinking
to
doo
the
like
,
because
I
supposed
I
should
bee
knowen
of
them
all
:
in
came
the
Sheriffe
that
had
taken
me
,
and
putting
a
faire
paire
of
fetters
on
my
héeles
,
and
a
great
chayne
about
my
neck
,
put
me
into
the
house
where
the
racke
stood
,
saying
,
Let
this
Gentleman
(
counterfetting
the
Iustice
,
and
naming
himselfe
to
be
a
Crier
)
stay
héere
these
few
dayes
vntill
wee
may
learne
who
he
is
,
séeing
you
do
walke
by
night
to
scale
Priests
houses
,
and
to
séeke
after
your
best
beloued
,
when
your
head
is
full
.
Wee
came
hither
in
an
euill
hower
said
I
vnto
my selfe
,
and
then
I
said
vnto
him
,
that
I
liued
not
in
anie
such
sort
,
nor
yet
went
abroad
to
doo
anie
such
things
.
I
cannot
tell
whether
you
go
or
no
said
he
,
but
euen
now
I
met
the
Priest
of
Saint
Saludors
Church
,
comming
out
of
the
Sheriffes
house
,
saying
,
that
the
last
night
hee
had
like
to
haue
béen
robbed
,
and
the
Théeues
thought
to
haue
entered
his
house
by
force
,
if
he
had
not
defended
himselfe
with
good
stones
:
and
said
that
one
of
the
theeues
named
himselfe
Lazaro
de
Tormes
his
Crier
,
and
I
tolde
him
that
I
met
you
hard
by
his
house
,
and
that
you
said
asmuch
vnto
me
,
and
therefore
I
sent
word
that
you
should
be
safely
kept
.
Then
the
Iailour
said
,
that
Crier
which
you
speake
of
,
was
once
in
this
Towne
,
but
he
died
in
the
Voyage
vnto
Argiel
,
I
knew
him
verie
well
:
God
be
mercifull
vnto
him
,
for
he
was
a
man
sufficient
to
carrie
two
Stopes
of
wine
with
the
best
drinker
heereabout
from
one
house
vnto
the
other
,
without
anie
kinde
of
staggering
.
O
vnfortunate
wretch
that
I
am
said
I
,
which
haue
not
as
yet
ended
al
my
il
fortunes
,
without
doubt
they
wil
begin
again
to
assaile
me
:
what
should
this
meane
,
that
those
whom
I
know
,
and
am
present
in
their
company
,
and
take
them
for
my
frends
,
should
now
denie
me
,
and
not
know
me
?
But
it
is
not
possible
that
fortune
can
crosse
me
herein
,
that
my
wife
should
not
know
me
,
as
being
the
thing
that
I
most
desire
,
and
shee
mée
.
With
that
,
I
intreated
the
Kéeper
,
and
gaue
him
somewhat
for
his
paines
,
that
he
would
goe
vnto
her
,
&
shew
her
that
I
am
here
,
and
that
she
would
come
&
fetch
me
out
of
prison
.
And
he
laughing
at
me
,
tooke
the
royall
,
saying
he
would
doo
it
:
but
it
seemed
vnto
him
that
I
was
not
in
earnest
,
for
that
if
I
were
hee
of
whom
I
spake
,
he
said
he
should
know
mee
,
because
(
said
he
)
I
haue
séene
him
at
the
least
a
thousand
times
heere
within
the
prison
,
comming
to
visite
those
that
had
béen
whipped
:
and
that
hee
was
the
best
Crier
,
and
had
the
cléerest
voyce
in
all
Toledo
.
But
in
the
ende
(
I
beeing
so
importunate
with
him
)
he
did
so
much
,
that
hee
brought
my
Master
the
Priest
with
him
:
and
when
I
heard
him
speake
in
the
place
where
I
was
,
a
candle
being
brought
,
I
had
asmuch
ioye
,
as
they
in
Purgatorie
may
haue
when
the
time
of
their
deliuerance
draweth
néere
:
&
wéeping
with
gréefe
,
but
more
for
ioy
,
I
said
vnto
him
:
O
my
good
Master
Rodrigo
de
Ieues
chéefe
Priest
of
S.
Saluadors
,
looke
vppon
this
your
good
Crier
Lazaro
de
Tormes
,
tormented
and
laden
with
yrons
,
hauing
for
these
thrée
yeares
passed
the
most
straunge
and
wonderfull
aduentures
that
euer
were
heard
of
.
Whereat
he
held
the
candle
somewhat
nerer
vnto
my
face
,
and
said
,
The
voyce
is
Iacobs
,
but
the
skinne
is
Esaus
.
Brother
(
said
he
)
it
is
true
that
in
speach
you
somewhat
resemble
him
,
but
in
iesture
you
are
farre
different
from
him
that
you
say
you
are
.
Then
I
began
to
thinke
with
my selfe
,
and
desired
the
Iailor
to
lend
me
a
glasse
,
which
he
brought
me
,
and
when
I
looked
into
it
,
I
perceiued
my selfe
to
bee
changed
in
fauour
from
that
I
was
before
,
but
specially
in
colour
,
which
I
was
wont
to
haue
as
red
as
a
Pomegranade
,
I
meane
as
the
kernels
of
the
same
,
and
now
as
the
yealow
of
the
shell
,
beeing
wholly
changed
in
countenaunce
,
whereat
I
blessed
my selfe
,
and
said
:
Now
my
good
Master
,
I
doo
not
meruaile
(
being
thus
as
I
am
)
that
your
worship
nor
yet
anie
of
my
frends
doo
not
know
me
,
séeing
that
I
know
not
my selfe
:
but
worship
hath
made
me
now
to
féele
it
.
wherefore
Master
Sheriffe
,
I
would
desire
you
to
giue
vs
a
little
libertie
to
speake
together
,
and
you
shall
sée
that
I
haue
not
tolde
anie
lie
.
He
did
so
,
and
we
being
alone
,
I
told
him
all
the
signes
and
tokens
of
things
passed
betwéene
vs
,
since
wee
were
first
acquainted
,
naming
the
dayes
and
times
.
After
that
I
told
him
all
that
I
had
passed
,
and
how
I
was
turned
into
a
Tonny
,
and
how
long
I
continued
in
the
sea
,
and
what
I
did
there
,
and
that
it
was
the
water
that
had
so
changed
my
colour
,
and
altered
my
iesture
,
which
vntill
then
I
had
not
once
looked
into
:
so
that
in
the
end
he
stood
still
in
a
great
admiration
,
and
said
vnto
me
.
This
that
you
say
is
well
knowen
here
in
the
Citie
to
be
verie
true
,
that
there
was
a
man
beeing
a
Tonny
fish
séene
in
Siuill
,
and
besides
that
the
tokens
you
giue
mee
are
all
true
,
but
notwithstanding
I
doubt
it
much
to
be
so
:
but
that
which
I
will
doo
for
you
,
shal
be
to
bring
my
Nurse
hether
,
and
peraduenture
shee
will
know
you
better
.
Wherewith
I
gaue
him
heartie
thankes
,
and
besought
him
to
giue
me
his
hand
that
I
might
kisse
it
:
and
he
gaue
me
his
blessing
,
as
he
had
done
manie
times
before
,
but
for
his
hand
he
refused
it
vnto
me
.
Thus
that
and
thrée
dayes
more
passed
ouer
,
and
at
the
ende
thereof
in
the
morning
the
Iustices
Lieuetenant
with
his
afficers
and
Clearke
came
into
the
prison
to
me
,
and
began
to
examine
mée
vpon
intergatories
:
which
if
I
would
not
answere
vnto
,
they
had
commission
to
set
me
on
horsebacke
,
or
to
say
more
aptly
to
hang
me
vp
.
Whereat
I
could
not
chuse
but
shed
manie
teares
,
fetching
most
great
sighes
,
and
complaining
vnto
my self
of
my
great
misfortune
that
followed
me
continually
:
and
with
the
greatest
and
best
reasons
I
could
deuise
,
I
besought
the
Lieuetenant
that
as
then
he
would
not
torment
me
,
because
I
was
otherwise
sufficiently
vexed
and
gréeued
,
which
to
prooue
,
I
willed
them
to
come
néere
and
behold
my
iesture
:
whereat
bringing
the
light
somewhat
néerer
hee
said
,
Certainly
I
know
not
what
force
may
doo
in
manie
things
,
but
as
farre
as
I
can
perceiue
hee
is
not
without
great
gréefe
,
which
by
his
disposition
may
well
be
séene
:
let
vs
leaue
him
at
this
time
,
vntill
hee
bee
somewhat
better
,
or
else
that
he
dieth
,
and
quit
himselfe
of
all
,
and
so
they
left
me
.
Then
againe
I
besought
the
Kéeper
,
that
he
would
goe
vnto
my
Masters
house
,
and
intreate
him
on
my
behalfe
to
accomplish
his
word
and
promise
giuen
vnto
me
,
that
hee
would
bring
my
wife
with
him
vnto
the
prison
:
and
therewithall
I
gaue
him
another
royall
,
(
because
they
neuer
walke
in
vaine
)
.
Thether
he
went
,
and
returned
me
answere
,
that
the
next
day
they
both
promised
me
to
come
:
wherewith
I
being
somewhat
comforted
,
that
night
I
slept
better
than
at
other
times
.
And
in
my
dreame
me
thought
I
saw
my
Ladie
&
frend
the
Truth
,
who
shewed
her selfe
verie
angrie
toward
mee
and
said
:
Thou
Lazarus
doost
not
séeke
to
amend
thy
life
,
whereas
thou
didst
promise
me
(
being
in
the
Sea
)
not
to
let
mee
depart
from
thée
,
and
now
since
thou
camest
forth
,
thou
hast
in
a
manner
neuer
once
looked
vpon
me
:
for
which
cause
,
the
diuine
Iustice
hath
thought
it
good
to
punish
thée
in
this
,
that
in
thine
owne
Countrie
and
in
thine
house
thou
shouldest
not
be
knowen
,
but
shouldst
be
put
vnto
the
racke
,
as
an
euill
dooer
.
In
the
morning
thy
wife
will
come
,
and
thou
shalt
bee
deliuered
with
thy
honor
and
credit
.
And
so
she
departed
,
leauing
me
verie
ioyfull
of
such
a
vision
,
knowing
she
said
most
true
,
and
that
my
punishment
was
most
iust
,
because
the
lyes
which
I
tolde
and
mixed
with
my
speach
were
so
manie
and
so
great
,
although
those
that
were
true
,
were
verie
strange
and
wonderfull
of
themselues
,
that
they
were
sufficient
with
the
verie
fear
in
hearing
of
them
to
strike
men
dead
:
which
fault
I
determined
to
repent
and
amend
,
and
for
the
same
was
verie
sorrowfull
.
Morning
being
come
,
my
iesture
and
countenance
became
as
it
was
at
the
first
,
and
then
I
was
knowen
both
of
my
Master
and
my
wife
,
and
so
taken
out
of
prison
and
brought
home
to
my
house
,
where
I
found
my
daughter
almost
big
inough
to
make
another
.
And
after
I
had
rested
my selfe
for
a
time
,
I
returned
againe
vnto
my
pot
and
my
cup
,
whereby
in
short
space
after
I
had
my
own
proper
iesture
,
and
a
pleasant
good
life
.
CHAP.
XIIII
.
How
Lazarus
went
vnto
Salamanca
,
and
of
the
frendship
hee
found
there
,
and
of
the
disputation
he
held
with
the
Rector
,
and
how
he
dealt
with
the
Students
of
the
Vniuersitie
.
I
Liuing
somewhat
at
my
pleasure
,
and
being
verie
well
vsed
and
apparelled
,
had
a
desire
to
trauell
from
thence
to
sée
the
Countrey
of
Spaine
,
and
to
sport
and
solace
my selfe
for
a
time
,
because
I
was
in
a
manner
filled
with
the
shadow
of
the
sea
.
And
thinking
with
my selfe
whether
I
should
goen
,
at
the
last
I
went
vnto
Salamanca
,
where
it
is
said
the
seuen
Sciences
haue
their
dwelling
place
:
and
it
was
thus
,
that
I
had
manie
times
wished
and
desired
to
proue
if
I
could
deceaue
anie
one
of
those
Abbots
or
long
gowned
fellowes
,
which
call
themselues
Licenciates
.
And
as
the
towne
is
full
of
them
,
so
the
smell
and
sauour
of
them
stretcheth
farre
and
néere
,
although
I
pray
God
kéepe
them
from
my
house
in
the
night
time
.
I
went
therefore
presently
vnto
that
towne
:
and
thinking
vpon
the
sea
;
wherein
I
had
béen
,
I
meruailed
with
my selfe
to
beholo
that
I
saw
in
the
towne
,
which
was
somewhat
more
than
I
had
heard
reported
of
it
,
whereof
I
will
tell
you
,
specially
of
one
thing
that
happened
vnto
me
therein
.
I
going
along
in
one
of
the
greatest
stréets
,
met
a
man
riding
vpon
an
asse
,
(
and
because
as
then
I
was
somewhat
small
eyed
and
wearie
,
I
could
not
goe
anie
further
,
nor
yet
turne
backward
without
great
paine
)
the
man
began
to
crie
out
and
say
,
Out
of
the
way
Signior
Batchelor
.
I
stird
not
,
but
giuing
him
a
more
honorable
name
,
cride
,
Out
of
the
way
Signior
Licenciado
,
out
of
the
way
in
the
diuells
name
:
and
therewith
began
to
lay
vpon
him
with
a
staffe
that
I
bare
in
my
hand
.
Whereat
you
might
presently
haue
séene
him
kicke
forwards
and
backwards
:
so
that
what
with
master
Licenciado
on
one
side
,
and
the
Cauallero
on
the
other
,
I
neuer
in
my
life
saw
better
sport
,
nor
a
Licenciado
of
his
qualitie
,
vnto
whom
all
men
gaue
place
,
or
that
had
so
manie
people
to
behold
him
.
But
then
I
knew
him
presently
to
bee
one
that
caused
himselfe
to
be
honoured
with
great
names
,
as
I
had
done
in
the
sea
,
because
of
my
force
and
valor
,
among
the
Tonnyes
.
Yet
neuerthelesse
they
did
honor
to
others
as
well
as
vnto
me
,
for
although
they
called
me
Signior
,
yet
they
gaue
me
no
more
libertie
therby
,
than
I
got
vnto
my selfe
by
force
,
among
them
.
So
that
I
assure
your
worship
,
if
I
should
continue
long
there
,
I
would
rather
be
the
Asse-headed
Licencioado
,
then
poore
Lazarillo
de
Tormes
.
From
thence
,
being
among
the
prease
,
I
went
into
a
Colledge
,
where
I
sawe
so
many
Students
,
and
heard
so
many
voyces
,
that
I
dare
say
there
was
not
one
among
them
but
was
more
wearied
with
crying
,
than
with
wit
.
And
among
many
of
others
that
I
knew
(
although
not
one
of
them
knewe
me
)
as
God
would
I
founde
one
of
my
friends
of
Toledo
,
with
whom
I
had
bin
acquainted
,
and
he
serued
with
two
maisters
,
which
were
of
the
best
in
the
Colledge
.
He
being
a
wise
fellow
,
and
waiting
on
them
in
their
chamber
,
told
his
masters
of
me
,
in
such
maner
,
that
it
was
worth
a
dinner
and
somewhat
more
vnto
me
.
True
it
is
,
it
was
after
the
maner
of
Colledges
,
a
short
dinner
,
and
litle
meate
,
ill
dressed
and
worse
serued
:
for
I
assure
you
,
there
was
neuer
a
bone
that
escaped
without
breaking
and
sucking
.
In
dinner
time
we
talked
of
many
things
,
and
I
replied
again
so
wel
,
that
they
both
perceiued
I
had
gone
further
for
my
experience
,
than
they
had
done
for
their
knowledge
:
then
I
told
them
what
had
happened
vnto
Lazarus
,
and
that
with
such
words
,
that
they
all
asked
me
,
where
I
had
studied
,
whether
in
France
,
Flanders
,
or
in
Italie
,
and
if
at
that
time
it
had
pleased
God
to
haue
granted
me
but
a
word
or
two
of
Latine
,
I
had
posed
them
all
,
but
at
the
last
I
left
off
speaking
,
being
not
desirous
to
giue
them
occasion
to
aske
me
any
more
,
lest
they
might
propounde
something
whereunto
I
could
not
answere
.
Neuerthelesse
they
thinking
me
to
be
an
other
maner
of
man
than
I
was
,
determined
to
haue
me
openly
defend
certaine
conclusions
,
and
I
because
I
knewe
them
all
to
bee
Castilians
,
as
I
my selfe
am
,
so
that
without
shame
I
might
shewe
my selfe
before
them
all
,
refused
not
,
for
hee
that
knowes
howe
to
behaue
himselfe
among
the
Tonnies
,
which
plaie
but
with
their
snoutes
,
will
make
his
partie
good
inough
with
them
that
plaie
but
with
their
tongues
:
The
time
was
appointed
to
be
the
next
day
following
,
and
all
the
Vniuersitie
were
charged
to
bee
there
without
faile
,
for
to
heare
vs
,
where
your
worship
might
haue
séene
your
Lazarus
in
greatest
honour
in
the
Cittie
,
set
among
so
many
Doctors
,
Licentialls
,
and
Batchellers
,
that
I
assure
you
,
the
tenth
part
of
them
were
sufficient
to
till
all
the
fields
in
Spaine
,
and
with
the
tithes
thereof
,
to
satisfie
the
whole
world
:
there
you
might
behold
so
many
colours
of
apparel
,
and
so
many
degrées
in
the
seates
,
that
there
was
no
account
made
of
a
man
,
but
of
his
degrée
.
And
before
I
went
in
among
them
,
they
woulde
haue
had
me
apparelled
as
they
were
,
which
Lazarus
refused
,
because
that
séeing
I
was
a
stranger
,
and
not
any
student
of
that
vniuersitie
,
they
ought
not
to
wonder
at
the
same
,
but
rather
to
iudge
by
the
learning
,
(
because
the
disputation
was
to
that
ende
)
then
by
the
apparell
,
although
it
were
vnaccustomed
.
I
saw
them
all
in
such
order
and
so
graue
,
to
say
the
truth
,
whosoeuer
should
say
I
had
more
feare
than
shame
,
or
rather
more
shame
than
feare
,
should
not
mocke
me
.
But
to
come
to
the
matter
,
Lazarus
being
set
in
his
place
,
(
beholde
what
a
student
I
was
)
euerie
one
séeing
my
Doctorall
presence
,
and
howe
grauely
I
could
behaue
my selfe
,
and
in
as
good
order
as
they
,
the
Rector
desired
to
be
the
first
that
might
dispute
with
me
,
althogh
it
were
not
the
custom
among
them
.
And
so
he
propounded
a
question
somewhat
hard
and
difficult
to
be
answered
:
asking
me
howe
many
Tunnes
of
water
are
in
the
sea
,
whereunto
(
I
being
a
man
well
studied
,
and
it
not
being
long
since
my
comming
from
thence
,
)
knew
verie
well
how
to
answere
:
saying
,
hee
should
cause
all
the
waters
to
bee
staid
and
kept
in
one
place
:
which
done
,
I
would
quickly
measure
it
,
and
then
satisfie
his
demaund
.
He
hearing
my
short
and
readie
answere
,
such
as
the
best
of
them
all
could
not
haue
mended
,
and
being
at
a
staie
,
for
that
he
thought
to
haue
posed
mée
,
finding
it
to
bee
impossible
with
that
question
to
doo
it
,
left
that
charge
vnto
me
to
measure
it
,
and
then
to
tell
him
.
The
Rector
being
abashed
with
that
answere
,
put
an
other
argument
vnto
me
,
thinking
to
trie
my
wit
,
to
sée
if
I
would
make
him
as
pithie
an
answere
to
the
second
,
as
I
did
vnto
the
first
:
he
asked
me
how
many
dayes
had
passed
from
the
creation
of
Adam
,
vntil
that
time
:
as
though
I
had
bin
alwaies
liuing
in
the
world
,
with
a
penne
in
my
hand
kéeping
account
of
them
,
when
as
to
tel
you
the
truth
,
I
do
not
remember
mine
owne
,
but
only
that
I
was
once
a
priestes
boye
,
and
then
a
schoolemaisters
boye
,
and
such
like
,
wherof
I
kept
better
account
than
of
my
dayes
.
But
this
notwithstanding
I
aunswered
him
,
saying
there
was
no
more
then
seuen
,
because
that
when
those
seuen
are
past
,
there
followeth
other
seuen
,
and
so
it
had
continued
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
vntil
that
time
,
and
should
likewise
continue
so
to
the
end
of
the
world
:
then
your
worship
might
haue
séene
Lazaro
estéemed
a
great
Doctor
,
among
the
Doctors
,
and
a
wise
maister
of
art
among
the
Licentiates
.
Now
the
third
question
was
for
to
win
the
victory
,
and
because
I
had
waded
so
well
out
of
two
of
them
,
the
Rector
thought
that
in
the
third
I
would
be
graueled
.
Wherefore
he
willed
me
to
satisfie
him
in
the
third
question
:
whereat
I
answered
him
very
readily
,
that
I
would
do
so
,
and
that
not
only
to
his
third
,
but
to
as
many
as
he
would
propounde
betwéene
that
and
the
next
day
.
Then
he
asked
me
,
where
the
ende
of
the
world
is
?
What
Philosophers
are
these
saide
I
vnto
my selfe
?
for
séeing
that
I
neuer
went
about
the
whole
world
,
how
can
I
answere
him
?
But
if
he
had
asked
mée
the
ende
of
the
water
,
I
could
haue
answered
him
somewhat
better
.
Yet
I
answered
vnto
his
question
,
and
said
it
to
be
in
the
same
place
,
wherein
we
then
were
,
and
if
he
measured
it
hée
should
certainly
finde
it
to
be
so
,
offering
if
it
were
not
true
,
that
they
should
estéeme
and
account
me
vnworthie
to
enter
into
any
Colledge
,
he
perceiuing
himselfe
shamde
by
my
answeres
,
and
that
still
thinking
to
giue
a
good
checke
,
he
receiued
an
ill
mate
,
put
me
the
fourth
question
very
boldly
,
asking
me
howe
far
the
earth
is
from
heauen
.
Your
worship
might
then
haue
séene
me
hake
and
spit
,
thinking
how
to
answere
,
for
I
was
almost
at
a
non
plus
,
because
hee
knewe
verie
well
,
that
I
neuer
went
any
such
way
,
if
he
had
asked
me
what
manner
of
life
the
Tonnies
vse
,
and
what
language
they
speake
,
I
could
haue
giuen
better
reason
for
it
,
yet
I
was
not
therewith
altogither
grounded
,
but
answered
him
,
that
heauen
is
verie
neare
vnto
the
earth
,
for
that
the
songs
that
men
sing
here
vpon
earth
,
are
heard
vp
into
heauen
,
howe
soughtly
soeuer
men
sing
or
speake
,
which
if
he
would
not
beléeue
,
I
had
him
go
vp
into
heauen
,
and
I
would
sing
here
below
verie
soughtly
,
and
if
he
did
not
heare
it
,
he
should
condemne
me
for
a
foole
.
I
assure
your
worship
,
that
at
the
same
answer
you
might
haue
séene
the
Rector
at
such
an
exigent
,
that
ceasing
to
propound
anie
more
questions
,
he
left
off
,
referring
the
rest
vnto
others
:
but
when
they
saw
him
thus
foyled
,
there
was
not
one
of
them
that
durst
begin
,
but
all
leauing
their
places
,
said
and
affirmed
my
answeres
to
be
most
excellent
.
Whereat
I
neuer
saw
my selfe
to
be
so
much
honoured
among
men
,
nor
so
much
Signiored
heere
,
and
Signiored
there
,
so
that
Lazarus
his
honour
increased
daily
:
which
was
partly
the
more
,
because
of
the
apparell
the
good
Duke
gaue
me
,
for
if
it
had
not
béen
for
them
,
those
long
gowned
fellowes
would
haue
made
no
more
account
of
mee
,
than
I
did
of
the
Tonnyes
in
the
sea
,
although
I
dissembled
.
But
then
they
all
came
vnto
me
,
some
commending
me
for
my
prompt
and
wittie
answeres
,
and
others
being
glad
to
sée
and
heare
me
speake
.
Whereby
(
this
my
great
abilitie
being
séene
)
the
name
of
Lazarus
was
in
euerie
mans
mouth
,
and
I
walked
through
the
Citie
with
more
buzzing
and
noise
,
than
I
did
among
the
Tonnyes
.
My
hostes
bad
mee
to
supher
with
them
,
and
I
was
as
willing
to
goe
,
although
I
séemed
to
refuse
them
at
the
first
,
making
as
though
I
were
bidden
by
others
:
and
to
conclude
we
supt
,
I
néed
not
tell
you
with
what
,
because
it
was
a
Licenciates
supper
,
after
their
manner
,
although
I
perceiued
verie
well
that
the
supper
was
prepared
by
changing
of
bookes
,
and
yet
it
was
good
inough
.
After
we
had
supt
,
and
the
cloath
taken
away
,
there
was
a
paire
of
cardes
laid
on
the
boord
for
a
collation
,
which
was
a
daily
custome
,
and
surely
I
was
better
learned
in
them
,
than
in
the
disputations
of
the
Rector
.
At
the
last
monie
began
to
be
laid
vpon
the
boord
,
which
I
desired
to
sée
:
and
they
as
being
verie
nimble
in
that
arte
,
knew
how
to
vse
a
thousand
shifts
and
flights
to
compasse
mee
in
,
I
had
almost
lost
all
my
money
,
for
that
for
a
while
it
went
but
crossely
with
me
,
but
at
the
last
I
handled
the
matter
so
well
,
that
they
payd
for
all
,
and
for
the
supper
likewise
,
and
I
put
fiftie
royalls
of
plate
in
my
purse
that
I
got
among
them
.
I
would
wish
ye
to
beware
of
him
that
hath
bin
a
signior
among
the
Tonnies
.
Euer
after
they
would
take
héed
of
Lazaro
,
and
I
to
dispatch
my selfe
away
,
prayed
them
to
speake
somewhat
vnto
me
in
Tonnyes
language
:
if
not
they
could
not
vnderstand
me
.
But
after
that
,
fearing
least
they
should
offer
me
any
iniurie
,
and
because
no
occasion
might
bee
had
,
I
departed
from
them
,
thinking
that
I
could
not
alwayes
haue
good
fortune
at
playe
.
So
I
determined
to
returne
home
againe
,
making
my self
mery
with
the
fiftie
ryals
I
had
gotten
,
and
somewhat
more
withall
,
which
for
their
credits
I
will
not
presently
rehearse
:
and
comming
to
my
house
,
I
founde
all
well
there
,
only
that
there
wanted
money
.
Then
I
called
to
minde
the
Dollors
that
lye
hidden
in
the
sea
,
and
therewith
I
began
to
be
sad
,
and
thought
with
my selfe
,
that
if
I
might
spéede
as
well
as
I
did
in
Salamanca
,
I
woulde
set
vp
a
schoole
in
Toledo
,
and
though
it
were
onely
to
teach
the
Tonnies
language
which
I
thinke
no
man
but
would
desire
to
studie
it
.
But
thinking
better
vppon
the
matter
,
I
saw
there
was
nothing
to
be
gotten
,
because
it
would
bee
no
profite
to
any
man
,
wherewith
I
left
off
my
deuise
,
although
I
could
haue
bene
well
content
to
haue
had
the
fame
,
to
be
the
founder
of
a
Vniuersitie
in
so
noble
a
Cittie
,
and
the
inuenter
of
a
new
language
neuer
knowne
before
among
men
.
Hitherto
I
haue
shewed
you
the
course
of
my
life
,
since
the
voyage
of
Argel
,
what
more
shall
happen
,
as
time
serueth
,
your
worship
shal
be
certified
thereof
.
In
the
meane
time
,
I
rest
wholly
at
your
commandement
and
seruice
.
Yours
,
Lazaro
de
Tormes
FINIS
