SIR
,
PArdon
,
I
beseech
You
,
this
bold
presumption
,
which
proceed
I
confesse
from
somwhat
more
than
that
common
duty
wherewith
all
of
Vs
gladly
reverence
and
respect
You
:
not
that
I
arrogate
unto
my selfe
any
interest
before
others
,
but
confesse
my selfe
so
farre
indebted
to
your
favours
,
that
my
thankfulnesse
cannot
willingly
omit
the
occasion
of
expressing
it selfe
,
although
but
in
a
meane
and
homely
manner
,
unto
one
,
to
whom
I
not
only
acknowledge
,
but
glory
that
I
owe
my selfe
.
This
hath
emboldned
mee
to
the
dedication
of
these
few
Dialogues
,
which
will
I
hope
,
at
some
of
your
times
of
recreation
,
obtaine
a
favourable
admittance
,
partly
for
the
generall
esteeme
of
the
Author
;
with
whom
I
know
,
your
yonger
studies
have
beene
conversant
,
and
somewhat
for
the
Translators
sake
,
one
not
altogether
unknowne
unto
you
,
that
to
my
knowledge
truly
honoured
you
,
and
whom
you
may
better
know
in
this
,
than
many
that
were
well
acquainted
with
him
in
his
life
time
,
in
both
which
respects
these
Dialogues
humbly
implore
your
patronage
,
as
one
most
able
both
to
judge
and
defend
them
,
which
if
you
will
vouchsafe
,
and
suffer
this
poore
orphane
to
passe
under
the
shadow
of
Your
favourable
protection
,
I
shall
account
that
small
paines
I
have
taken
in
publishing
it
hapily
imployed
,
the
ashes
of
my
deare
deceased
father
highly
honourd
,
and
my selfe
(
if
it
be
possible
)
more
obliged
to
a
perpetuall
acknowledgement
of
Your
favours
,
and
profession
of
my selfe
for
ever
to
remaine
Yours
in
all
dutifull
observance
TH.
HICKES
.
TO
THE
HONEST
AND
JUDICIOUS
READER
.
FOr
unto
any
prejudice
I
scorne
either
Epistle
or
Apologie
.
yet
such
men
will
be
medling
,
and
though
they
disdaine
perhaps
to
read
,
will
notwithstanding
be
sure
to
judge
,
and
let
them
:
't
is
a
faire
way
of
proceeding
,
as
they
think
,
but
brings
with
it
the
comfort
of
being
common
,
nor
may
I
expect
to
escape
their
good
word
,
though
I
direct
nothing
to
them
,
but
unto
you
I
stand
bound
to
give
an
account
of
what
I
have
done
,
and
of
the
reason
that
incited
mee
unto
it
.
In
briefe
then
,
that
principall
motive
that
caused
me
to
publish
this
Translation
,
was
,
to
performe
herein
the
pious
duty
of
a
surviving
sonne
unto
the
deare
memory
of
a
deceased
father
:
who
as
hee
was
a
true
lover
of
Schollers
,
and
Learning
,
(
especially
of
this
kind
)
will
I
doubt
not
finde
favourable
entertainment
amongst
those
that
are
conversant
in
these
studies
,
and
beare
affection
to
the
Greeke
tongue
.
Hee
was
indeed
no
profest
scholler
nor
tooke
any
more
than
one
degree
in
this
famous
Vniversitie
,
having
beene
sometimes
of
Oriell
Colledge
:
but
yet
although
hee
were
taken
off
by
a
countrie
retirement
,
hee
never
lost
the
true
tast
and
relish
that
distinguishes
men
of
this
education
,
but
rather
made
continuall
improvement
of
that
nutriment
which
hee
had
received
in
his
yonger
daies
,
from
the
breasts
of
this
his
honoured
mother
.
His
studie
or
rather
his
recreation
,
was
chiefely
in
the
Greeke
tongue
,
and
of
his
knowledge
herein
hee
hath
left
unto
the
world
sufficient
testimonies
,
of
which
these
present
Dialogues
are
a
part
,
and
these
with
divers
other
things
of
his
performance
,
being
at
this
time
in
my
custodie
,
I
supposed
I
could
not
do
him
more
right
,
nor
his
friends
and
mine
better
satisfaction
(
whose
desires
herein
challenge
a
second
motive
)
than
to
give
them
free
libertie
,
and
suffer
him
by
this
meanes
to
propagate
his
owne
memorie
,
which
may
chance
to
last
longer
in
this
small
monument
of
his
owne
raising
(
or
in
some
larger
hereafter
)
than
in
the
hardest
marble
posteritie
can
erect
him
.
What
I
have
added
here
,
is
not
worth
speaking
of
,
much
lesse
the
censuring
:
Onely
let
mee
say
thus
much
,
to
defend
my
owne
innocence
from
the
blacke
mouth'd
obloquie
of
such
as
can
speake
no
other
colour
,
that
in
the
Authors
life
I
have
not
gone
about
(
farre
be
your
charities
from
such
a
thought
)
to
acquit
him
from
any
of
those
villanies
and
blasphemous
impieties
wherewith
hee
hath
beene
truly
charged
;
but
so
farre
to
vindicate
these
innoxious
workes
of
his
,
as
reason
and
your
owne
selves
must
needs
(
I
know
)
allow
of
in
the
rest
,
I
have
onely
endeavour'd
to
make
the
Translator
understood
,
as
hee
the
author
,
wherein
I
have
not
thought
it
much
,
though
perhaps
some
may
,
to
descend
to
the
satisfaction
even
of
the
meanest
capacities
(
for
to
this
end
was
it
translated
that
all
might
understand
it
)
otherwise
,
the
English
,
would
be
to
many
,
almost
as
much
Greeke
as
the
Originall
:
and
herein
if
I
have
done
ought
amisse
,
when
I
know
it
,
I
shall
both
acknowledge
it
and
desire
your
pardon
hoping
in
the
meane
space
that
your
ingenuous
candor
will
lay
the
fault
where
it
is
due
,
that
is
on
mee
,
not
the
Translator
,
nor
cause
the
worke
to
suffer
,
if
I
have
any
where
failed
.
This
I
hope
will
be
sufficient
to
satisfie
you
to
whom
I
write
,
unto
whom
I
submit
both
my selfe
and
this
,
and
so
rest
,
a
true
lover
of
yous
persons
and
honourer
of
your
vertues
.

LUCIAN
upon
his
booke
.
Lucian
well
skill'd
in
old
toyes
this
hath
writ
:
For
all
's
but
folly
that
men
thinke
is
witt
:
No
settled
judgement
doth
in
men
appeare
;
But

T.
H.
THE
LIFE
OF
LVCIAN
THE
SAMOSATENIAN
.
WHEREIN
,
He
is
in
some
sort
vindicated
from
certaine
grosse
Aspersions
,
heretofore
cast
upon
him
.
THere
is
a
twofold
end
of
studying
men
.
One
to
attaine
the
knowledge
of
our selves
:
for
as
the
eye
(
[
a
](A06421-e10610-b)
a
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
Plat.
in
1.
Alcibiad
.
sayes
the
Divine
Plato
)
cannot
behold
it selfe
in
any
other
part
of
the
body
but
the
eye
:
so
the
soule
,
if
it
will
see
it selfe
,
must
looke
into
the
soule
.
The
other
,
to
gaine
such
a
competent
knowledge
and
understanding
in
other
men
,
as
to
be
able
,
not
onely
to
make
their
lives
and
actions
our
examples
,
but
to
leave
them
as
rules
and
patterns
to
them
that
shall
come
after
us
.
They
therefore
that
professe
the
latter
,
had
need
to
bee
well
verst
,
and
skilfull
in
the
former
:
for
he
that
is
too
short
in
the
knowledge
of
himselfe
,
may
be
soone
over-shot
in
his
opinion
of
another
.
And
therefore
I
have
alwayes
thought
it
a
bold
adventure
of
those
that
take
upon
them
to
become
answerable
to
posteritie
for
other
mens
lives
,
seeing
there
are
few
or
none
that
have
observ'd
such
an
orderly
methode
of
living
,
as
to
be
able
to
give
any
just
account
of
their
owne
:
and
can
therefore
be
hardly
thought
fit
,
and
competent
judges
of
another
mans
.
Written
lives
,
being
nothing
else
but
the
lineaments
of
the
minde
:
as
the
plaine
draught
,
and
extremities
of
a
picture
are
of
the
body
:
colours
may
give
it
ornament
and
beauty
,
but
addes
but
little
to
the
true
resemblance
:
as
he
then
that
undertakes
to
copie
out
the
one
,
had
need
to
bee
well
skil'd
in
the
composure
and
difference
of
faces
;
so
he
that
adventures
to
draw
the
other
ought
to
bee
as
cleare
sighted
in
discerning
manners
and
actions
.
For
the
least
mistake
but
of
the
smallest
touch
or
shaddow
in
a
face
,
alters
the
shape
,
and
posture
of
the
countenance
:
and
in
matter
either
of
life
or
government
,
the
insertion
or
omission
of
the
meanest
circumstance
may
give
an
alteration
,
and
difference
to
an
action
.
As
for
our
author
now
in
hand
,
there
is
but
little
trust
to
bee
given
to
the
tracke
of
former
times
:
for
some
that
have
heretofore
undertaken
to
record
his
life
,
having
drawne
three
or
foure
severall
persons
of
that
name
,
some
Sophisters
,
some
Rhetoricians
,
and
living
at
severall
times
into
one
Lucian
,
have
not
so
much
wrote
his
life
as
made
it
.
In
a
matter
therefore
so
full
of
uncertaintie
,
to
avoyde
the
like
errour
,
in
following
the
doubtfull
and
various
relations
of
such
Writers
as
give
no
other
reasons
for
their
opinions
then
their
owne
authoritie
:
I
have
thought
best
,
to
gather
him
out
of
himselfe
,
and
so
,
as
neare
as
I
can
,
make
the
author
his
owne
Biographer
.

not
being
able
to
breed
him
up
a
Scholler
,
or
to
afford
him
education
correspondent
to
so
hopefull
a
genius

therefore
plac't
him
with
an
Vnckle

his

was
an
excellent
cutter
in

hee
might

there
he
stay'd

either
led

driven
by

usage

gave

Vnckle

became

applying
himselfe
afterwards
wholly
to

At
the
length

both
friends

meanes
failing
him
at

he
left
Samosata

went

Antioch
:

bestowed
some
time
in
the
study
and
practise
of
the
Law
,
that
profession
and
condition
of
life
either
thwarting
his
disposition
,
or
not
answering

expectation
,
being
besides
an
excellent
Rhetorician
,
he
left

Law
and

became
there
a
publique
professor
in
that
Art
:
Departing
thence
he
went
into
Macedonia
,
where
hee
gave
a
full

open
testimony
of
his
worth
and
learning
,

a

assembly
of
the
most
able

of

whole
country
.
Having
thus
after
many
and
sundry
perigrinations
made
himselfe
knowne
and
famous
in
divers
regions
,
he
now
began
to
draw
nearer
home
,
and
to
travell
farther
into
himselfe

perceiving
the
Rhetoricians
of

times

When
having
by
great
industrie

,
acquainted
himselfe
with
the
severall
tenents
and
doctrines
almost
of
every
sect
,
and
finding
that
they
not
only
crost
and
contradicted
each
other
in
the
very
grounds
and
principles
of
all
Arts
and
Sciences
,
and
chiefly
in
matter
of
Religion
,
and
in
their
conceits
and
opinions
of
the
Gods
;
but
also
,
that
their
lives
and
practises
were
nothing
at
all
agreeable
to
their
rules
and
precepts
:
hee
grew
at
length
into
such
an
utter
dislike
of
them
,
being
himselfe
a
man
that
alwayes
profest
an
uprightnesse
of
carriage
,
and
freedome
of
speech
(
[

as
may
appeare
by
those
artes
which
he
acknowledges
himselfe
to
be
skill'd
in
,
and
that
borrow'd
name
of
Parrhisiades
)
that
he
bent
his
style
almost
wholly
against
them
,
and
became
a
sharpe
and
earnest
opposer
of
the
titular
and
mock-Philosophers
of
that
age
:
laying
open
to
the
world
in
his
writings
,
by
way
of
Dialogue
,
after
a
most
pleasant
and
comicall
manner
,
their
avarice
,
intemperance
,
ambition
,
and
hypocrisie
:
and
so
farre
deriding
the
senselesse
superstition
,
and
feigned
deities
of
the
heathen
,
that
hee
thereby
got
the
sirname
of
[
z
](A06421-e11200-b)
z
Suidas
.
Atheos
,
or
Blasphemus
,
and
was
commonly
reputed
a
mocker
and
derider
both
of
Gods
and
men
.
They
that
report
him
to
have
beene
sometimes
a
Christian
,
and
that
afterwards
falling
into
apostasie
he
should
scoffingly
say
,
that
he
got
nothing
by
that
Religion
,
but
only
the
corruption
of
his
name
,
which
was
changed
at
his
baptizing
,
from
Lucius
to
Lucianus
,
have
not
only
wrote
more
then
they
could
justifie
,
but
what
is
easie
enough
to
bee
disprov'd
:
for
whosoever
shall
reade
his
booke
de
morte
Peregrini
,
where
he
layes
both
the
profession
of
the
same
Religion
,
and
the
falling
from
it
in
anothers
dish
,
may
soone
perceive
that
hee
was
never
a
Christian
,
and
for
that
speech
of
his
,
it
must
bee
found
in
some
worke
that
these
times
are
not
acquainted
with
,
for
in
all
those
peeces
that
are
as
yet
publisht
,
I
am
sure
there
is
no
such
thing
to
be
found
.
These
men
therefore
are
as
much
mistaken
in
his
life
as
in
his
death
,
reporting
that
he
was
torne
in
peeces
by
dogges
,
and
producing
for
both
no
other
authority
then
themselves
.
That
hee
was
a
most
impious
blasphemer
of
our
Saviour
Christ
,
and
of
his
sacred
doctrine
I
will
not
deny
:
but
that
his
whole
workes
so
much
admired
and
approv'd
of
by
the
most
learned
in
all
ages
,
both
for
wit
and
language
should
be
therefore
utterly
banisht
from
the
world
,
and
condemn'd
to
a
perpetuall
obscurity
,
or
those
parts
of
him
denyed
the
the
light
in
which
there
is
no
such
impietie
found
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
many
rules
and
documents
both
of
vertue
and
good
learning
,
more
then
the
writinges
of
Suetonius
,
Tacitus
,
and
other
famous
authors
,
who
were
likewise
enemies
to
the

LVCIAN
HIS
LIFE
,
OR
OF
HIS
DREAME
.
AFter
I
had
given
over
going
to
schoole
,
and
was
grown
to
be
a
stripling
of
some
good
stature
,
my
father
advised
with
his
friends
,
what
it
were
best
for
him
to
breed
mee
to
:
and
the
opinion
of
most
was
,
that
to
make
mee
a
scholler
,
the
labour
would
be
long
,
the
charge
great
,
&
would
require
a
plentifull
purse
:
whereas
our
meanes
were
poore
,
&
would
soone
stand
in
need
of
speedy
supply
:
but
if
he
would
set
mee
to
learn
some
manuall
art
or
other
,
I
should
quickly
get
by
my
trade
enough
to
serve
my
owne
turne
,
and
never
be
troublesome
for
my
diet
at
home
,
if
I
were
placed
abroad
,
neither
would
it
be
long
before
I
should
make
my
father
a
glad
man
,
to
see
mee
daily
bring
home
with
mee
what
I
had
got
by
my
labours
.
This
being
concluded
upon
we
begunne
to
consult
againe
what
trade
was
best
,
soonest
learned
,
and
most
befitting
a
freeman
,
that
would
be
set
up
with
an
easie
charge
,
and
bring
in
a
profitable
returne
.
With
that
,
some
began
to
commend
one
trade
,
some
another
,
as
every
mans
fancie
or
experience
led
him
.
but
my
father
casting
his
eyes
upon
mine
uncle
(
for
my
uncle
by
the
mothers
side
was
there
present
,
an
excellent
workman
in
stone
,
and
held
to
be
one
of
the
best
statuaries
in
all
the
country
)
by
no
meanes
,
(
said
he
)
can
I
endure
that
any
other
art
should
take
place
,
as
long
as
you
are
in
presence
:
take
him
therefore
to
you
(
shewing
him
mee
)
and
teach
him
to
be
a
skilfull
workman
in
stone
,
how
to
joynt
them
together
neatly
,
and
to
fashion
his
statues
cunningly
:
he
is
able
enough
for
it
,
and
his
nature
inclinable
enough
to
it
:
this
he
conjectured
,
because
he
had
seene
some
toies
of
mine
made
out
of
waxe
;
for
I
could
no
sooner
come
home
from
schole
,
but
I
should
be
tempering
waxe
together
,
and
out
of
it
counterfeit
the
shapes
both
of
oxen
,
horses
,
and
men
,
and
(
as
my
father
thought
)
hansomely
enough
,
which
my
masters
were
wont
to
whip
me
for
,
though
now
it
turned
to
my
commendation
:
but
those
kinde
of
figments
put
mee
in
good
hopes
that
I
should
learne
my
trade
the
sooner
;
and
that
very
day
was
thought
luckie
for
mee
to
be
initiated
into
the
art
,
whereupon
I
was
committed
to
my
uncle
,
and
to
confesse
the
truth
,
not
much
against
my
will
:
for
I
thought
it
would
prove
but
a
kinde
of
sport
,
and
that
I
should
be
thought
a
brave
fellow
among
my
companions
,
if
I
could
carve
out
gods
,
and
pretty
puppets
,
both
for
my selfe
,
and
those
lads
I
best
liked
of
.
But
it
fell
out
with
mee
,
as
with
other
yong
beginners
:
for
my
uncle
putting
a
carving
toole
into
my
hand
,
bad
mee
therewith
to
strike
a
table
that
lay
before
mee
,
softly
and
gently
,
adding
withall

proverbe

What
's
well
begunne
is
halfe
done
:
but
my
ignorance
was
such
,
that
I
smote
too
hard
,
and
the
table
burst
in
peeces
:
which
put
him
so
farre
out
of
patience
,
that
he
gave
mee
hansell
in
a
harsh
measure
,
as
I
thought
,
and
exceeding
the
bounds
of
due
correction
,
insomuch
that
teares
were
the
proeme
of
my
occupation
,
and
I
ranne
away
as
fast
as
I
could
,
crying
out
with
full
eyes
,
telling
how
I
had
been
lasht
,
and
shewing
the
prints
which
the
stroakes
had
made
upon
mee
,
exclaiming
upon
such
crueltie
,
and
adding
this
of
mine
owne
,
that
it
was
onely
for
envie
,
left
in
the
end
I
should
prove
a
better
workman
then
himselfe
:
this
greeved
my
mothers
heart
,
and
shee
railed
bitterly
against
her
brother
for
using
me
with
such
extremitie
:
but
when
night
came
I
went
to
bed
,
though
swolne
with
teares
,
and
all
the
night
long
it
would
not
out
of
my
minde
:
what
I
have
hitherto
delivered
,
is
meerely
ridiculous
and
childish
:
but
now
,
Gentlemen
,
you
shall
heare
matter
not
to
be
discommended
,
but
what
deserves
attentive
auscultation
:

It
is
the

the
dreame

A
heavenly
dreame
seised
upon
mee

as
I
slept
in
the

time

so
directly
,
that
it
failed
nothing

for
even

this

,
after
so
long
a
distance
,
the
figures
of

sticke
still
in

eyes

and
the
voice
of
that
I
heard

in

every

was
delivered

plainly

This
seemes
to
be
an
imitation
of
that
of
Xenophon
in
his
2.
booke
of
the
memorable
things
of
Socrates
,
where
Prodicus
the
Caean
brings
in
a
story
of

,
how
that
being
as

a

vice
and
vertue
appeared
to
him

of
two
women
each
of
them
endeavouring
to
draw
him

herselfe

The
like
relation
we

:
where
hee
speakes
of
the
followers
of
Mercurie
and
Fortune
,
and
in
divers
others
.
Mee
thought
two
women
laid
fast
hold
on
my
hands
,
and
either
of
them
drew
mee
to
her selfe
with
all
the
strength
shee
had
,
and
contended
so
earnestly
for
mee
,
that
I
was
almost
torne
in
pieces
betweene
them
:
sometimes
the
one
would
have
the
better
hand
,
and
get
me
almost
wholly
into
her
clutches
:
within
a
while
after
the
other
would
seise
upon
me
as
surely
,
still
scolding
and
brawling
one
against
another
,
the
one
saying
I
was
hers
,
and
she
would
keep
possession
of
mee
,
the
other
answering
,
it
was
a
follie
for
her
to
lay
claime
to
that
she
had
nothing
to
do
withall
.
Now
indeed
,
the
one
of
them
was
a
homely
sturdie
dame
,
with
her
haire
ill-favourdly
drest
up
,
and
her
hands
overgrowne
with
a
hard
skinne
,
her
garment
was
tuckt
up
about
her
,
all
full
of
lime
and
morter
,
for
all
the
world
such
another
as
mine
uncle
when
he
was
about
his
worke
:
the
other
was
a
well
faced
wench
of
comely
proportion
and
handsomely
attired
:
in
the
end
they
referred
the
matter
to
mee
,
which
of
them
I
would
betake
my selfe
unto
:
and
first
that
sturdy
manly
drudge
begunne
with
mee
in
this
manner
.
I
,
sweete
boy
,
am
that
art
of
carving
,
to
which
you
professed
your
selfe
an
apprentise
yesterday
,
a
trade
familiar
to
you
,
and
tyed
to
your
house
by
succession
:
for
your
grandfather
(
delivering
the
name
of
my
mothers
father
)
was
a
carver
and
so
were
both
your
uncles
,
and
by
that
meanes
came
to
be
men
of
note
and
reputation
:
if
thou
wilt
therefore
renounce
the
fopperies
and
idle
vanities
that
this
female
would
lead
thee
into
(
pointing
to
the
other
)
and
follow
mee
as
one
of
my
family
,
first
thou
shalt
be
maintained
in
a
plentifull
fashion
,
thou
shalt
continue
good
strength
of
body
,
keep
thy self
evermore
free
from
envie
,
&
never
be
forced
to
forsake
thy
friends
and
country
,
&
betake
thy self
to
a
forrain
soile
,
nor
be
commended
by
all
men
for
words
onely
:
disdaine
not
then

of
my
person
,
nor
the
basenesse
of
my
apparell

such
beginnings

This

was
babled

blundred
out

that

,

hudled
one
in

But

for

foresee

conclude
,
I
will
in

suddenly
all

flame
:
&

when

was
inclosed
by

Xenophon
,
when
hee
reported
a
dreame
that
appeared
unto
him
,
as
hee
thought
,
in
his
fathers
house
,
and
other
visions
else
,
you
know
,
the
apparition
was
held
for
no
fiction
,
nor
hee
condemned
for
a
trifler
in
repeating
it
,
though
it
were
in
the
time
of
warre
,
when
his
case
was
desperate
,
and
hee
round
beset
with
enemies
:
but
the
relating
of
it
wanted
not
his
fruit
.
So
I
,
for
my
part
,
have
repeated
this
dreame
unto
you
,
because
I
would
have
yong
men
take
the
better
way
,
and
sticke
to
learning
:
especially
hee
,
whom
povertie
enforceth
to
a
wilfull
neglect
of
himselfe
,
and
to
incline
to
worse
courses
,
so
depraving
the
good
condition
of
his
nature
:
for
I
know
the
hearing
of
this
tale
will
encourage
him
much
,
and
that
hee
will
propose
mee
,
as
a
sufficient
patterne
for
him
to
imitate
,
when
hee
shall
consider
how
poore
a
snake
I
was
,
and
yet
affected
the
highest
fortunes
,
and
fixed
my
desire
upon
learning
,
and
would
not
be
discouraged
with
the
povertie
I
was

opprest
withall
.
And
in
what
condition
I
am
now
returned
amongst
you
,
though
it
be
not
all
of
the
best
,
yet
I
hope
I
am
no
worse

speake

I
came

this

from
that

where
I
both
heard

exceeding

and
how
thou
comm'st

Beleeve

you
are
somewhat
neere
the
marke
:
for
that
Daedalian
invention
of
wings
,
was
also
put
in

by

Friend

And
how
durst
thou
put
thy selfe
upon
such
an
adventure
,
for
feare
of
falling
into
the
Sea
,
which
after
thy
name
might
be
called
the
Menippian
Sea
,
as
the
other
was
called
the
Icarian
.
Menippus
.
I
was
secure
of
that
:
for
Icaru's
wings
were
cemented
with
waxe
,
which
dissolving
with
the
Sunne
,
he
cast
his
feathers
and
could
not
chuse
but
fall
:
but
my
feathers
were
joynted
with
no
such
matter
.
Friend
.
How
then
?
for
by
little
&
little
thou
hast
screwed
me
up
,
I
cannot
tell
how
,
to
imagine
there
may
be
some
truth
in
thy
narration
.
Menippus
.
Thus
I
did
,
I
tooke
a
good
bigge
Eagle
,
and
a
strong
Vulture
,
and
cut
off
their
wings
at
the
first
joynt
:
but
it
would
doe
better
to
tell
you
my
whole
conceit
,
from
the
first
occasion
,
if
your
leisure
will
serve
to
heare
it
.
Friend
.
Exceeding
well
:
for
I
am
wholly
intent
to
listen
to
your
story
,
and
in
a
longing
to
heare
it
all
to
the
end
:
wherefore
of
all
loves
,
deny
me
not
;
for
I
even
hang
as
it
were
by
the
eares
,
to
harken
to
your
discourse
.
Menip
.
Heare
it
then
:
for
I
should
shew
my selfe
uncivill
to
leave
a
longing
friend
in
such
a
plight
:
especially
hanging
by
the
eares
,
as
you
say
,
to
heare
it
:
and
therefore
thus
it
was
.
Pondering
seriouslie
with
my selfe
upon
matters
pertaining
to
this
life
,
I
found
all
things
affected
by
man
,
to
be
foolish
,
idle
,
and
transitory
:
I
meane
,
riches
honour
,
powerablenes
,
and
the
like
:
wherefore
contemning
them
all
,
and
all
care
to
attaine
them
,
and
proposing
to
my selfe
the
study
of
things
that
were
truly
good
,
I
endeavoured
to
lift
up
my
head
,
and
to
consider
of
the
whole
universe
in
generall
,
which
yeelded
matter
of
much
difficultie
to
my
apprehension
:
First
,
that
thing
which
wise
men
called
the
world
:
for
I
could
never
finde
how
it
was
made
,
nor
who
was
the
maker
of
it
;
nor
what
beginning
it
had
,
nor
what
end
it
should
have
.
Next
,
I
descended
to
particulars
,
which
brought
me
into
farre
greater
doubts
then
I
was
before
:
I
saw
the
starres
scattered
up
and
downe
the
heaven
carelesly
,
I
know
not
how
;
and
I
much
desired
to
learne
what
matter
the
Sunne
was
made
of
:
But
the
greatest
cause
of
marvell
to
mee
was
the
Moone
,
whose
course
seemed
contrary
to
all
reason
:
and
the
often
alteration
of
her
shape
I
thought
must
needs
proceed
from
some
unknowne
and
secret
cause
:
moreover
,
the
suddain
flashes
of
lightning
,
the
breaking
out
of
the
thunder
,
the
raine
,
the
snow
,
the
falling
downe
of
the
haile
,
were
utterly
unexpressible
to
me
,
and
I
knew
not
what
to
thinke
of
them
:
being
in
this
perplexitie
,
I
thought
I
could
not
doe
better
,
then
to
repaire
to
some
of
these
Philosophers
for
my
instruction
,
who
I
thought
were
not
to
seeke
in
the
true
knowledge
of
any
thing
:
Friend
.
Strange
it
is
,
that
wise
men
should
bee
at
such
oddes
among
themselves
,
as
not
to
have
the
same
opinion
of
the
same
things
.
Menip

Beleeve
me
,
friend
,
I
know
you
could
not
chuse
but
laugh
to
heare
their
arrogant
and
prodigious
speeches
:
that
men
confin'd

the
earth
,
of
no
higher
pitch
then

that
are

that
can

I
finde

you
have

said

for
you
have
brought

from

with
you
,
that
can
make
you
see
well
enough
;
and
what
may
that
bee

said
I
?
Know
you
not

said
hee
,
that
you
have
the

wing
of

about
you

yes
said
I

what
is

wing
to
the
eye
?
the
Eagle
,
said
he
,
by
farre
is
the
sharpest
sighted
of
all
creatures
,
and
only
able
to
looke
against
the
Sunne
,
and
she
is
thought
the
royallest
,
and
truest

Eagle
,
that
can
behold

bright
Sunne
without
winking
.
So
I
have
heard
indeed
,
said
I
;
and
it
much
repenteth
me
,
that
when
I
undertooke
a
journey
hither
,
I
had
not
pluckt
out
mine
owne
eyes
,
and
put
the
eyes
of
an
Eagle
into
my
head
:
for
I
am
now
come
unperfect
,
and
not
royally
prepared
,
but
rather
as
a
mis-begotten
mungrell
,
cast
off
,
and
forsaken
by
my
friends
.
It
is
in
your
power
,
said
he
,
presently
to
make
one
of
your
eyes
royall
:
Arsaces
:
Spartinus
the
Median
by
his
Guard
dragg'd
out
from
a
banquet
by
the
heeles
,
and
his
head
wounded
with
a
standing
cup
of
gold
:
the
like
was
to
be
seene
done
in
Lysia
,
and
among
the
Scythians
and
Thracians
,
in
the
Courts
of
their
Kings
,
adulteries
,
murthers
,
treacheries
,
rapines
,
perjuries
,
feares
,
and
false-heartednesse
towards
their
friends
:
thus
was
I
occupied
in
beholding
the
affaires
of
Kings
.
But
the
acts
of
private
persons
were
farre
more
ridiculous
,
for
I
beheld
them
also

when

saw
them

turning

saw
them
wandring
about

then
casting
mine

I
beheld
the
Aegyptians
tilling

the

trading
in

the

practising
pyracie

all
these
being
in
action
at

instant
,
you
may
imagine
what
a
confused
apparition
was
presented
to
my
view

as
if
many

men
should
be
brought
into

together
,
or
rather
many
quiers
of

men
,

commanded
to
sing
a

strive
to
make
his

song
good
,
and
with
the
strength
of
his
voice
to
drowne
the
notes
of

I
beseech
you
what
is
your
conceit
of
such
a
noise
?

they

drive

O

for

somewhat

what

am
sure
you
have

seene

how
some

:
some
issue

runnes
away

it
as
fast

hee
can

to
these
the

hath

some
build

some
affect

some

some

some

and
their

had
not

spake

well
may
you
speed

let

intreat

to

what
may
it
be
said

,
for
I
will
not
refuse
you
,
unlesse
it
be
heavie
:
onely
a
message
,
quoth
shee
,
not
offensive
,
but
a
petition
,
which
I
would
have
you
preferre
in
my
name
to
Jupiter
:
for
I
am
weary
of
my
life
,
Menippus
,
to
heare
so
many
monstrous
speeches
passe
out
of
the
mouthes
of
Philosophers
concerning
mee
,
who
it
seemes
have
nothing
else
to
doe
,
but
busie
themselves
about
mee
,
enquiring
what
I
am
made
of
,
and
of
what
quantitie
I
am
,
and
for
what
cause
I
appeare
sometimes
halfe
,
sometimes
three
quarters
:
some
say
I
am
a
region
inhabitable
,
some
that
I
hang
over
the
sea
like
a
looking
glasse
,
and
every
man
puts
upon
mee
whatsoever
comes
in
his
owne
conceipt
,
nay
,
they
will
not
allow
the
very
light
I
have
to
be
mine
owne
,
but
say
I
stole
it
from
another
,
and
had
it
from
the
Sunne
above
,
and
never
will
let
mee
alone
,
but
seeke
to
make
debate
and
variance
betwixt
mee
and
him
that
is
my
brother
,
not
satisfying
themselves
with
the
opprobrious
speeches
they
have
given
out
against
him
,
whom
they
make
no
better
then
a
stone
,
or
some
kinde
of
mettall
made
red-hot
with
fire
:
yet
have
I
seene
some
villanies
abominable
and
beastly
committed
in
the
night
time
by
these
men
that
looke
so
severely
by
daylight
,
and
carrie
so
setled
a
countenance
,
that
are
so
grave
in
their
habit
,
and
so
much
respected
by
simple
men
,
which
I
forbare
to
speake
of
,
because
I
thought
it
unmannerly
to
publish
and
reveale
their
nocturnall
conversation
,
or
bring
their
lives
as
it
were
upon
the
stage
:
for
when
I
found
any
of
them
,
either
playing
the
whoremaster
,
or
the
thiefe
,
or
occupied
in
any
such
worke
of
darknesse
,
I
would
plucke
in
my
head
under
a
cloud
,
&
cover
my
face
,
that
every
man
should
not
see
what
was
acted
by
old
men
,
adorn'd
with
such
abundant
beards
&
carrying
such
an
opinion
of
vertue
and
honesty
:
yet
will
they
never
give
over
to
lacerate
me
with
ill
language
,
and
abuse
me
in
the
highest
degree
:
insomuch
,
that
(
I
sweare
unto
thee
,
by
the
night
)
I
have
often
beene
in
hand
to
remove
my
seate
further
,
to
avoyde
the
being
subject
to
their
clamorous
and
chattering
tongues
:
remember
to
acquaint
Jupiter
with
this
,
and
tell
him
farther
,
that
it
is
impossible
for
me
to
remaine
in

,
unlesse

confound

thought

had
respect
more
to
the

but
some
he
granted
like

denied

the

he
admitted
to
come
up

him

laid
them

that

how

burthen
of

:
these
have
cut
themselves
into
sects
,

devised
many
different
and
inextricable
Labyrinthes
of
argumentation
,
some
naming
themselves
Stoicks
,
some
Academickes
,
some
Epicures

some
Peripatetickes
,
with
many
other
more
foolish
titles
then
these
:
and
involving
themselves
within
the
venerable
name
of
vertue
,
carry
their
countenance
aloft
,
and
stroake
out
their
beards
at
length
,
and
traversing
the
world
,
under
a
counterfeit
habit
,
cover
most
abominable
conditions

ordinary
actors
in

from
whom
if
you
detract
their

the

will
be
apish
and
discover
a
poore

hired
to
play
his

for
a

pieces

they
being
no
better
then
these

yet
live
in
contempt
of
all

publish
monstrous
opinions

if
they
can
draw
in

they
make
vertue

speaking

is
therefore
high
time
to
looke

for
if

you
are

for

likewise

tend

I
start
up

of

of

wisdome

experience

had
much
adoe

when

there
for

hee

And
why

I

That
may
easily
be
conceived
by
any
man

neither
is
there
any
great
danger
in
uttering
it
,
for
these
persons
living
before
our
time
,
had
all
likewise
descended
into
hell
:
and
he
thought
that
if
hee
could
make
mee
carry
any
resemblance
of
any
of
them
,
I
might
the
better
escape
the
guard

on

were
brought
in

tyed
in

after

,
which
they
said
were

things
that
were
done
by
us
in

their
testimony
is
taken
to
be
very
authenticall
,
because
they
are
alwaies
present
with
us
,
&
never
relinquish
us
:
But
after
that
Minos
had
strictly
examined
them
all
,
he
sent
them
every
one
to
the
region
of
the
unrighteous
there
to
be
punished
according
to
the
qualitie
of
their
offence
,
especially
taxing
them
that
were
so
proud
upon
their
riches
and
dignites
,
that
they
thought
themselves
worthy
of
adoration
,
much
condemning
their
moment
any
statelinesse
and
contempt
of
others
not
remembring
themselves
to
be
mortall
,
and
that
all
their
happines
was

caduke

:

,

they
were

all
their

,

,
stood
naked
hanging
downe
their

,
which
I
was
very
glad
to
see
:
and
him
that
I
knew
,
I
would
closely
creepe
unto
,
and
put
him
in
remembrance
what
a
jolly
fellow
he
was
in
his
life
time
,
and
how
much
he
tooke
upon
him
then
,
when
many
would
bee
waiting
every
morning
at
his
gates
,
attending
his
comming
abroad
,
crowding
,
and
pressing
one
upon
another
,
when
they
were
lockt
out
by
his
servants
,
and
hardly
at
all
procure
to
have
a
sight
of
him
who
never
shewed
himselfe
,
but
glittering
and
shining
,
in
purple
and
gold
,
and
changeable
colours
;
thinking
he
made
him

to
whom
he
would
vouchsafe
to
give
his
hand
to
kisse
,
and
this
would
vexe

you
have
put

in

of
it
:
for
being
the
maine
subject

narration

I
have
digressed
in

speech
I
know
not
how
farre
:
for
during
the
time
of
my
abode
amongst
them
,
the
Magistrates
called
a
councell
to
consult
about
state
businesse
:
and
I
seing
many
throng
in
together
,
thrust
my selfe
also
among
the
dead
for
company
and
past
for
one
of
them
.
Many
matters
were
there
decided
:
and
lastly
that
concerning
rich
men
:
against
whom
sundry
grievances
were
objected
,
as
violence
,
arrogancie
,
scornfulnesse
,
and
injustice
,
at
the
last
a
certaine
Orator
started
up
,
and
uttered
this
decree
against
them
:
The
Decree
:
FOr
as
much
as
rich

daily
found
guilty
of
many
misdemeanours
committed

people
that
whensoever
they
dye

their

about

when

I
told

besought
him
to
tell

with
that
hee
drew
mee
aside
,
and
when
hee
had
got
mee
a
good
way
from
company
,
laid
his
mouth
close
to
my
eare
,
saying
,
the
simple
mans
life
is
the
best
and
the
honestest
,
for
hee
is
free
from
affecting
knowledge
in
matters
above
his
reach
,
and
from
searching
after
endings
and
beginnings
,
rejecting

run
over

,

himselfe

to

had

hee

skipt
againe

and
I
seeing
it
grow
somewhat

come
on

you

direct
you

brought
mee
to

with

pointed
to

I

whom

of

a

art

Micyllus

I
have
heard
of
such
a
matter
as
that
,
concerning
you
Cocks
long
agoe
:
how
that
a
certaine
young
man
,
called
Alector
,
was
very
familiar
with
Mars
,
and
accustomed
to
banket
and
make
merry
with
the
god
,
and
him
hee
made
privie
to
all
his
love
:
so
that
whensoever
Mars
went
to
lie
with
Venus
,
he
tooke
this
Alector
along
with
him
,
and
for
that
he
was
greatly
in
feare
lest
the
Sun
should
espie
him
,
and
discover
him
to
Vulcan
,
hee
alwayes
left
this
young
man
without
at
the
doore
,
to
bring
him
word
when
the
Sunne
approached
:
but
as
it
chanced
on
a
time
,
Alector
fell
asleepe
,
and
unwillingly
betrayed
the
charge
committed
to
him
,
and
the
Sunne
entred
in
secretly
and
stood
by
Venus
and
Mars
,
who
tooke
their
rest
without
care
,
because
they
thought
Alector
would
give
them
warning
if
any
were
comming
.
Then
Vulcan
,
having
notice
given
him
by
the
Sunne
,
took
them
napping
together
,
and
wrapt
them
both
within
a
net
hee
had
before
provided
for
that
purpose

the
story

indeed

I

another

for
I
was
thus
transformed
into

by

pray

thou

it

Nay
,
it

two
things

which
are
contrary

doctrine

what
are
those
?

is
,
that
thou
art

babble
;
but
he
,
as
I
remember
,
enjoyned
silence
to
his
schollers
for
five
yeares

.
The
other
is
likewise
repugnant
to
his
rules
;
for
I
,
having
no
other
thing
to
give
thee
,
brought
thee
beanes
to
day
,
as
thou
knowest
;
and
thou
without
any
scruple
,
pickst
them
up
:
Therefore
,
either
thou
lyest
and
art
not
Pythagoras
,
or
transgressest
against
thine
owne
decrees
in
eating
beanes
,
which
he
said
was
as
great
a
wickednesse
,
as
for
a
man
to
devoure

owne

O
Micyllus

thou
knowest
not
the
cause
hereof
,
nor
what
is
convenient
for
the
life
of
every
creature
:
I
did
then
eate
no
beanes
,
for
I
was
a
Philosopher
:
but
now
I
feed
upon
them
,
because
it
is
a
diet
fit
for
birds
of
my
kinde
.
But
if
you
will
give
me
leave
,
thou
shalt
heare
how
of

,
I
came
to
take
this
shape
upon
me
,
and
how
many
kinde
of
lives
I
have
past
,
and
what
benefit
I
had
by
every
alteration

Micyllus

me

for

not

what

it
long

that

loose

When
the
time
was
come
that

should
sit
downe

first
they
tooke
up

when
no
man
else
could
endure
to
sit
neare
him
,
they
appointed
mee
to
be

at
the

Then
went
we
to
dinner

where
wee
had
great
cheare
,

great
store
of

all
the

was

our

were
all

were

we
had

made

thou
hadst

no

it

shew

platted
in

will
make

I
was

I
had
infinite

how
should

able

so
much

did
yesterday

him
five

stands
not

I
feare

breake
downe

take

envie

It
is
good
to
be
warie
of

therefore
goe
I
round

search

who
is
there

I
see
thee
well
enough
thou
wouldst
faine
breake
into
my

,
but
thou
art
hapned

That
's

I
will
goe

tell
my

I
heare
some

as

all

set

where
is

out

make
thy

if

how

hee
watcheth
to

his

consuming
himselfe
in

and
yet
must
shortly
leave
all

come
to
be
some

I
see
that
miserable

fellow
well
enough

who
in

is
in
no
better
estate
then
a
flie
or
a
gnat

how
hath
he
withered
himself
away
with
reckoning
:
but
let
us
goe
to
another
.
Cocke
.
To
thy
old
friend
Eucrate
,
if
thou
wilt
:
his
doore
is
open
,
therefore
let
us
goe
in
.
Micyllus
.
All
these
riches
were
lately
mine
.
Cocke
.
Dost
thou
still
thinke
upon
thy
Dreame
of
riches
?
behold
Eucrates
himselfe
,
that
old
man
,
lying
with
one
of
his
servants
.
Micyllus
.
I
see
most
abominable
beastlinesse
,
and
most
unnaturall
filthinesse
,
not
beseeming
any
man
to
commit
:
behold
also
his
wife
,
in
another
corner
of
the
house
,
playing
the
adulterous
harlot
with
her
cooke
.
Cocke
.
Wouldst
thou
wish
then
,
Micyllus
,
to
inherit
all
that
Eucrates
hath
,
and
to
be
heire
of
this
his
wickednesse
?
Micyllus
.
No
certainly
,
Cocke
,
rather
would
I
die
for
hunger
,
than
do
such
villanie
:
farewell
gold
and
daintie
fare
:
I
have
more
riches
,
possessing
but
two
halfe-pence

than
they
that
are

be
robd

have
I
offended

pray
you

that
you

continue

long

you
have
suffered

was
almost
quite
spun
up

I
was
many

minded
to
cut

thread
in

come
to
you
:
but
I
know
not
how
,
it
was
more
than
I
could
doe

Clotho

I
did
let
thee
alone

because
I
would
have
thee
left
for

over-looker

curer
of
mens
defaults

now
come
and
welcome

unlesse

thee

mine

had
not

to
enjoy
thy
Concubines

thy

all

thou
hadst

This
is
an
intolerable
abuse

to
bestow
what
was

upon

enemie

I
beseech
you
,

did
not
you
come
by

goods
by
murthering
him

cut
his
childrens
throats

before

But

were
mine

And

may
suffice
you
have
enjoy'd
them
so

Megap.
A
word
with
you
,
Clotho

in

I
would
faine
speake
with
you
so
that
no
man
else
may
bee
within
hearing

friend

off

I
pray
you
:
If
you
will
give
me
leave
to
runne
away

I
promise
to
bestow
upon
you
a
thousand
talents
of
wrought
gold

before

bee

What
a
foole
art
thou
,
to
have
any
thought
of
gold
or
talents

Megapenthes

I
will
give
thee
two
standing-cups
more
into

if
thou
wilt

which
I
got
by
killing
Cleocritus

Clotho

Away
with
him

for
hee
lookes
as
if
hee
would
never
come
on

Megap.
I
beseech
you
be
good
to
mee
:
the
Citie
wall
,
and
the
harbour
for
shipping
which
I
was
about
to
make
,
are
not
yet
finished
:
if
I
had
lived
but
five
dayes
longer
,
I
should
have
made
an
end
of
them
both

Clotho

Content
thy selfe
,
the
wall
shall
bee
made
up
by
an
other

Megap.
Yet
let
me
obtaine
one
request
at
your
hands
,
which
is
so
reasonable
that
you
cannot
deny
it
.
Clotho
.
What
may
that
bee
?
Megap.
Let
mee
live
but
so
long
,
as
to
subdue
the
Pisidians
,
and
bring
the
Lydians
under
tribute
,
and
erect
a
sumptuous
monument
for
my selfe
,
whereupon
I
may
engrave
all
the
great
and
warlike
exploits
that
have
beene
performed
by
mee
in
my
life
time
.
Clotho
.
I
thanke
you
sir
:
is
this
your
one
dayes
respite
?
why
twenty
yeares
will
not
serve
his
turne
for
this
.
Megap.
I
will
give
you
pledges
for
my
speedie
returne
:
or
if
you
will
,
I
will
pawne
my
favorite
to
answer
for
me
,
man
for
man
.
Clotho
.
O
villaine
,
how
often
have
I
heard
thee
wish
,
that
hee
might
be
thy
surviver
.
Megap.
I
have
wished
so
indeed
in
my
time
,
but
now
I
am
better
advised
.
Clotho
.
Thou
shalt
have
him
here
with
thee
before
it
bee
long
,
for
thy
next
successor
will
be
sure
to
make
a
hand
with
him
.
Megap.
Yet
,
good
Destinie
,
deny
me
not
this
one
thing
.
Clotho
.
What
is
that
?
Megap.
I
would
faine
know
what
shall
betide
after
my
death
,
and
in
what
manner
things
shall
be
carried
.
Clotho
.
Heare
me
then
to
thy
further
vexation
:
Midas
thy
bond-slave
shall
marrie
thy
wife
,
for
hee
hath
kept
her
this
many
a
day
.
Megap.
That
villaine
?
whom
I
by
my
wifes
perswasion
made
a
free-man
,
Clotho
.
Thy
daughter
shall
be
one
of
the
next
Tyrants
concubines
:
the
images
and
statues
which
the
Citie
aforetime
erected
for
thine
honour
,
are
all
overthrowne
,
and
derided
by
every
one
that
lookes
upon
them
.
Megap.
Have
I
no
friends
then
,
that
were
offended
to
see
mee
so
abused
?
Clotho
.
What
friend
hast
thou
?
or
for
what
just
cause
could
any
man
be
thy
friend
?
dost
thou
not
know
,
that
every
one
that
honoured
thee
,
and
praised
all
that
thou
saidst
or
didst
,
did
it
out
of
feare
or
hope
,
as
friends
to
thy
Soverainty
,
and
observing
the
time
onely
?
Megap.
Clotho
.
Therefore
one
of
the
number
,
who
feasted
you
yesterday
made
a
quick
dispatch
,
and
gave
you
a
drench
for
your
last
,
which
sent
you
hither
.
Megap.
Me
thought
indeed
it
went
downe
somewhat
bitter
:
but
what
reason
had
hee
to
use
mee
so
?
Clotho
.
You
propose
many
questions
,
but
you
are
to
goe
about
an
other
matter
.
Megap.
Yet
there
is
one
thing
,
sweet
Destinie
,
that
vexeth
mee
more
than
all
the
rest
,
and
puts
mee
into
a
longing
to
recover
the
light
againe
for
a
while
.
Clotho
.
And
what
may
that
be
?
some
great
matter
I
warrant
you
.
Megap.
My
man
Carion
,
as
soone
as
hee
saw
I
was
dead
,
about
sunne-setting
,
came
into
the
chamber
where
I
lay
,
when
all
things
were
at
quiet
(
for
then
no
body
was
to
look
unto
mee
)
and
pulling
to
the
doore
after
him
,
tooke
his
pleasure
of
my
Concubine
Glicerie
(
whom
I
thinke
he
had
kept
long
before
)
as
if
there
had
beene
no
man
present
:
and
when
he
had
satisfied
his
desire
,
he
lookes
backe
upon
me
,
and
sayes
,
thou
wretched
carle
,
thou
hast
many
a
time
beaten
me
without
a
cause
:
and
with
that
he
pull'd
me
by
the
beard
,
and
gave
me
a
boxe
on
the
eare
;
and
hawking
with
open
mouth
,
spat
in
my
face
,
and
so
bidding
me
be
packing
to
the
pit
of
hell
,
hee
went
his
wayes
.
I
was
vehemently
kindled
against
him
,
but
knew
not
what
to
doe
to
him
,
for
I
was
stiffe
and
cold
:
but
that
cursed
chamber-maid
of
mine
as
soone
as
she
heard
the
noyse
of
some
that
were
comming
in
,
moistned
her
eyes
with
spittle
as
if
she
had
wept
for
me
,
and
howling
out
,
called
upon
my
name
,
and
so
went
out
of
the
roome
:
but
if
I
could
catch
them
.
Clotho
.
Threaten
not
too
much
now
,
but
away
your selfe
:
for
it
is
time
you
should
be
brought
to
the
barre
.
Megapenthes
.
And
who
dare
be
so
bold
,
as
to
give
sentence
against
a
King
?
Clotho
.
Against
a
King
,
no
man
:
but
against
a
dead
man
,
Rhadamanthus
will
doe
it
,
whom
you
shall
quickly
finde
to
be
just
,
and
one
that
will
give
every
man
his
due
:
but
now
make
no
longer
stay
.

:
for
,
I
know
not
how
,
the
soule
is
as
it
were
glewed
to
such
delights
as
these
,
and
will
not
easilie
be
brought
to
leave
them
,
after
it
hath
been
long
inured
to
them
:
or
rather
linkt
fast
in
some
indissoluble
band
,
which
makes
them
mourne
and
lament
when
they
are
to
part
from
them
:
and
though
upon
other
occasions
they
are
bold
and
hardy
enough
,
yet
are
they
found
to
be
fearefull
and
timorous
,
when
they
are
to
take
this
journey
in
hand
,
and
turne
still
backwards
like
a
forsaken
lover
,
and
covet
to
behold
from
a
farre
off
what
is
done
in
the
light
,
as
this
vaine
man
lately
did
,
that
ranne
away
as
he
was
comming
,
and
thought
now
to
prevaile
by
intreating
:
but
I
had
no
such
ingagements
in
my
life
time
,
no
familie
,
no
lands
,
no
gold
,
no
houshold-stuffe
,
no
honour
,
no
statues

I
have
observed
your
laughter
,
Mycillus
,
this
good
while
:
what
is
it
that
hath
made
you
so
merry
?
Mycillus
.
Hearken
then
to
me
,
most
reverent
goddesse
:
I
dwelt
upon
earth
neare
unto
the
Tyrant
,
and
perfectly
saw
all
that
he
did
,
and
could
thinke
no
otherwise
but
that
hee
was
a
kinde
of
God
:
for
when
I
beheld
his
glorious
purple
robe
,
the
multitude
of
his
attendance
,
his
gold
,
his
goblets
beset
with
precious
stones
,
and
his
Bedsteads
of
silver
;
I
could
not
but
thinke
him
a
happy
man
:
nay
,
the
very
smoak
of
the
dishes
that
were
prepared
for
his
dinner
made
me
almost
madde
,
so
that
I
thought
him
to
be
more
than
a
man
,
and
the
most
fortunate
of
all
other
;
yea
,
to
be
indued
with
greater
beauty
and
comelinesse
than
any
man
else
,
advanced
by
fortune
the
heigth
of
a
large
cubit
above
all
other
men
:
his
gate
was
stately
,
he
vaunted
himselfe
proudly
,
and
all
he
met
withall
he
put
out
of
countenance
.
But
when
he
was
dead
and
spoyled
of
all
his
pompe
,
me
thought
I
could
not
chuse
but
laugh
at
him
,
and
much
more
at
my selfe
to
see
what
a
foole
I
was
to
admire
so
vile
an
animal
,
and
think
him
happy
by
the
smell
of
his
platters
,
or
fortunate
for
having
his
roabes
died
in
the
bloud
of

Moreover
,
when
I
saw
Gniphon
the

bemoaning
himselfe
,
and
repenting
that
he
had
not
taken
the
benefit
of
his
riches
in
his
life
time
,
but
to
die
and
never
have
any
taste
of
them
;
leaving
them
to
Rhodocharis
the
unthrift
,
who
was
his
nearest
kinsman
,
and

I
knew
not
how
to
suppresse
my
laughter
,
especially
,
when
I
bethought
my selfe
of
his
pale
complexion
,
his
miserable
condition
,
his
carefull
countenance
,
and
that
hee
was
rich
onely

fingers

he
counted
his
talents

his
millions

here
alone

I
cannot
doe
better
than
to
swimme
after
them

for
I
am
out
of
danger
of
drowning

dead
already

rather
,
because
I
have
never

What
was
that
?
Charon

A
man
was
invited
by

of

friends
,
I
thinke
to
supper
:
Mercurie

Be
patient
and
I
will
have
a
plaister
for
this
also
,
and
make
your
sight
sharpe
enough
I
warrant
you
,
I
can
fetch
a
charme
out
of
Homer
will
do
the
deed
:
and
when
I
have
said
the
verses
,
looke
that
thou
be
darke
no
more
,

quick
sighted
.
Charon

them

was
spoken
by

remove

now
proceed
to
your

answer
to
such
questions
as
I
shall
aske
of
you
:
but
will
you
give
mee
leave
to
propose
them
in
Homers
stile
,
for
I
would
have
you
know
,
I
am
not
altogether
so
unlearned
as
you
imagine
?
Mercurie

I
pray
thee
how
cam'st
thou
to
know
any
thing
of
his
,
that

a

with

I
heard

pronounce
many
verses

of
which
I
have
kept
some
in

of

with
Polycrates
,
Amasis
K.
of
Aegypt
with
whom
he
had
made
a
firme
league
of
friendship
sent
him
this
advise
,
that
since
fortune
was
a
fickle
and
unconstant
goddess●
,
seeing
that
she
now
so
exceedingly
flattered
him
,
hee
feared
shee
would
sometime
or
other
as
enviously
crosse
him
,
and
that
he
would
therefore
counsell
him
to
temper
his
prosperitie
with
some
voluntary
misfortune
,
that
so
hee
might
be
prepared
for
any
alteration
that
might
befall
him
,
which
he
might
do
if
considering
with
himselfe
what
thing
in
the
world
hee
esteemed
most
hee
threw
it
quite
away
,
never
to
come
in
his
sight
again

Polycrates

this
counsell
,
and
be
thinking

tooke
a
ring
wherein
was
a
smaragd
signet
,
as
the
thing
which
hee
most
valued
in

,
and
taking
boat
cast
it
into

,

not
long
after
a
fisher-man
presenting

shall
the
wretched

fall
from
his

in

moment
:
this
I
also
heard
from

Bravely
done

serve

all

kinde

cut
off
their

,
hang

up

that
they
may
know
themselves
to
be
but
men
:
let
their
advancement
be
onely
to
make
their
fall
the
more
bitter
:
how
I
shall
laugh
to
see
them
all
naked
in
my
little
boat
,
and
bring
with
them
neither
purple
,
diademe
,
nor
bed
of

Mercurie
.
Enough
of
these
:
now
behold
the
actions
of
ordinary
men
,
Charon
,
of
which
thou
seest
some
are
sailers
,
some
souldiers
,
some
lawyers
,
some
plough-men
,
some
usurers
,
and
some
beggers
.
Charon
.
I
see
a
confused
throng
of
sundrie
sorts
of
people
,
and
a
life
full
of
vexation
and
trouble
,
and
their
cities
like
hives
of
bees
,
in
which
every
bee
hath
a
particular
sting
to
himselfe
,
wherewith
he
girdeth
him
that
is
next
him
,
and
some
among
them
,
that
like
waspes
spoyle
and
oppresse
the
weaker
:
but
I
see
a
multitude
of
somewhat
else
,
obscurely
hovering
about
them
:
what
may
they
bee
?
Mercurie
.
Charon
.
I
see
a
slender
threed
for
every
man
:
but
many
of
them
crosse
from
one
to
another
,
and
goe
in
and
out
like
a
nett
,
this
to
him
,
and
the
same
againe
to
another
.
Mercurie
.
So
it
must
bee
,
Ferriman
:
for
it
is
this
mans
destinie
to
be
kild
by
him
,
and
hee
by
another
:
this
man
must
be
heire
to
him
that
hath
the
shorter
thread
,
and
another
againe
to
him
:
this
is
the
reason
of
that
crossing
:
do
you
not
see
how
little
a
line
they
all
hang
by
?
and
he
that
is
drawne
on
high
,
shall
the
sooner
downe
againe
by
the
breaking
of
the
thread
,
when
it
is
not
strong
enough
to
hold
his
waight
,
and
make
a
great
noise
in
the
fall
:
whereas
hee
that
is
drawne
up
but
little
,
though
he
fall
,
it
shall
be
without
noise
,
for
his
next
neighbour
shall
hardly
heare
it
.
Charon
.
This
makes
mee
laugh
indeed
,
Mercurie
.
Mercurie
.
It
cannot
be
exprest
in
words
,
Charon
,
how
much
they
deserve
to
be
derided
,
especially
to
see
how
ernest
they
are
upon
it
,
and
yet
they
must
be
gone
in
the
midst
of
their
hopes
when
they
are
clapt
in
the
necke
by
honest
death
,
who
you
see
,
hath
many
messengers
and
officers
attending
upon
him
for
that
purpose
,
as
chilling
agues
,
burning
feavers
,
consumptions
,
inflammations
of
the
lungs
,
swords
,
theeves
,
poysons
,
Judges
,
and
Tyrants
:
Charon
.
I
see
all
this
:
and
muse
in
my selfe
what
pleasure
they
take
in
this
life
,
and
what
that
is
,
they
are
so
loath
to
leave
behinde
them
.
Mercurie
.
If
a
man
should
examine
the
state
of
their
Kings
,
who
are
thought
to
attaine
the
highest
degree
of
happinesse
(
excepting
onely
the
uncertaintie
of
fickle
fortune
)
hee
shall
finde
them
filled
with
more
vexation
than
pleasure
:
as
feares
,
troubles
,
hatreds
,
trecheries
,
angers
and
flatteries
:
for
to
them
all
these
are
incident
:
I
omit
their
sorrows
,
sicknesses
,
and
misfortunes
,
which
domineer
over
them
in
equall
authoritie
:
than
if
their
condition
be
so
ill
,
you
may
easily
conjecture
how
it
fares
with
private
men
.
Charon
.
I
will
tell
you
,
Mercurie
,
my
conceipt
,
and
what
I
thinke
men
,
and
their
whole
manner
of
life
,
are
most
like
unto
:
Mercurie
.
Well
said
,
Charon
,
Charon
.
They
are
no
better
,
Mercurie
,
and
yet
you
see
how
busie
they
are
,
and
what
a
stirre
they
make
in
striving
for
dignities
,
honours
and
possessions
,
which
they
must
all
leave
behinde
them
,
and
bring
but
one
poore
halfe-pennie
with
them
when
they
come
to
us
:
what
if
I
should
call
aloud
unto
them
,
now
wee
are
got
to
such
a
height
,
and
exhort
them
to
abstaine
from
their
vaine
imployments
,
and
to
live
,
as
having
death
alwaies
before
their
eyes
,
and
say
unto
them
,
O
foolish
men
,
why
do
you
bestow
your
time
upon
such
trifles
?
mis-spend
not
your
travels
to
so
ill
purpose
:
ye
shall
not
live
for
ever
:
nothing
you
here
affect
can
be
perpetuall
neither
shall
any
man
bring
any
of
it
away
with
him
at
his
death
,
but
of
necessitie
he
must
come
starke
naked
,
and
leave
his
house
,
his
land
,
and
money
behinde
him
,
to
be
for
ever
in
the
possession
of
others
,
and
subject
to
the
changes
of
many
masters
:
if
I
should
proclaime
this
and
the
like
amongst
them
,
out
of
a
place
whence
all
might
heare
mee
,
do
you
not
thinke
it
would
do
a
great
deale
of
good
,
and
make
them
more
warie
in
their
carriage
?
Merc.
O
honest
Charon
,
little
dost
thou
know
how
they
are
bewitched
with
ignorance
&
error
,
&
their
eares
so
stopt
,
that
they
can
hardly
be
boared
open
with
an
awgar
:
Vlysses
could
not
make
his
followers
eares
more
fast
with
waxe
from
hearing
the
Syrens
:
you
may
breake
your
heart
with
calling
before
they
will
harken
to
you
:
Charon
.
What
if
I
call
to
them
?
Mercurie
.
It
were
bootelesse
to
tell
them
what
they
know
alreadie
:
you
see
how
they
stand
aloofe
off
from
the
multitude
,
and
deride
their
actions
,
taking
no
contentment
in
them
:
perceive
you
not
how
they
are
upon
consultation
to
turne
fugitives
out
of
this
life
,
and
runne
to
you
?
for
they
are
hated
of
all
men
because
they
reprove
their
ignorance
.
Charon
.
Mercurie
.
These
are
all
:
let
us
now
downe
againe
.
Charon
.
One
thing
more
,
Mercurie
,
I
desire
to
heare
from
you
:
let
mee
know
but
that
,
and
you
shall
make
your
guidance
compleat
:
I
would
faine
see
the
places
where
dead
bodies
lye
when
they
are
cast
into
the
earth
.
Mercurie
.
They
are
called
monuments
,
Charon
,
and
tombes
,
and
sepulchers
:
dost
thou
not
see
those
heapes
of
earth
that
are
cast
up
before
their
cities
?
and
the
pillars
,
&

those
are
all

receptacles
of

.
Charon

But
why
do
they
crowne
those
stones
with
garlands
,
and
annoint
them
with
sweet
ointments
?
some
make
a
great
pile
of
wood
before
those

of

upon
which
they
burne

Ferriman

I
do
not
know
wha●
good
all
this
can
doe
to

are

but
perhaps
they
are
perswaded

up

to

They
eate

but
I
am
a
foole
to
say
so
much
to
you

conduct
them
every

,
and
know
it
unpossible
for
them
to
get
up
againe

they
are

for

I
thrust
into
the
West
Ocean
:
the
occasion
that
moved
mee
to
take
such
a
voyage
in
hand
,
was
onely
a
curiositie
of
minde
,
a
desire
of
novelties
,
and
a
longing
to
learne
out
the
bounds
of
the
Ocean
,
and
what
people
inhabit
the
farther
shoare
:
for
which
purpose
,
I
made
plentifull
provision
of
victualls
and
fresh-water
,
got
fiftie
companions
of
the
same
humor
to
associate
mee
in
my
travells
,
furnished
my selfe
with
store
of
munition

gave
a

summe
of

to
an
expert

that
could
direct
us
in

course
,
and
new
rigd
,
and
repair'd
a
tall
ship
strongly
,
to
hold
a
tedious
and
difficult
journey
:
Thus
sailed
wee
forward
a
day
and
a
night
with
a
prosperous
winde
,
and
as
long
as
wee
had
any
sight
of
land
,
made
no
great
hast
on
our
way
:
but
the
next
morrow
about
sunne
rising
,
the
wind
blew
high
,
and
the
waves
began
to
swell
,
and
a
darknesse
fell
upon
us
,
so
that
wee
could
not
see
to
strike
our
sailes
,
but
gave
our
ship
over
to
the
winde
and
weather
:
thus
were
we
tost
in
this
tempest
,
the
space
of
three-score
and
nineteene
daies
together
,
on
the
fourescorth
day
,
the
sunne
upon
a
sudden
brake
out
,
and
we
descried
not
farre
off
us
,
an
Island
full
of
mountaines
&
woods
,
about
the
which
the
seas
did
not
rage
so
boisterously
,
for
the
storme
was
now
reasonably
well
calm'd
:
there
wee
thrust
in
,
and
went
on
shoare
,
and
cast
our selves
upon
the
ground
,
and
so
lay
a
long
time
,
Thus
farre
travelled
Hercules
and
Bacchus
:
there
were
also
neare
unto
the
place
,
two
portraitures
cut
out
in
a
rock
,
the
one
of
the
quantitie

of

the

lesse
:
which
made
mee
imagine
the
the
lesser
to
be

,
and
the
other
Hercules
:
and
giving
them
due
adoration
:
wee
proceeded
on

:
and
farre
wee
had
not
gone

we
came

when

heard
that

were

they
sent

to

to
renewe
the
fight
:
whereupon
they
set
themselves
in

fell
upon

were

put

pursued

killed

overturned

had

overcame
the

My selfe

were
taken
alive

when

himselfe
was
come
,
they
set
up

in
token
of
victorie
,
and
on

morrow
wee
were
carried
prisoners
into

our

bound
behinde
us
with
a
piece
of
the
cobweb
:
yet
would
they
by
no

lay
any
siege
to
the
citie
,
but
returned
and
built
up
a
wall
in
the
midst
of
the
aire
,
to
keepe
the
light
of
the

from
falling
upon

thus
was
the
pleace
concluded
,
the

immediately
demolished
and
we
that
were
prisoners
delivered
:
being
returned
into
the
Moone
,
they
came
forth
to
meet
us
,
Endymion
himselfe
and
all
his
friends
:
who
embraced
us
with
teares
,
and
desired
us
to
make
our
aboad
with
him
,
and
to
be
partners
in
the
colonie
:
promising
to
give
mee
his
owne
sonne
in
marriage
(
for
there
are
no
women
amongst
them
)
which
I
by
no
meanes
would
yeeld
unto
,
but
desired
of
all
loves
,
to
be
dismist
againe
into
the
sea
:
and
bee
finding
it
unpossible
to
perswade
us
to
his
purpose
,
after
seven
daies
feasting
,
The
cause
of

.
The
like
is
faigned
by
the
Poets
of
the
Gorgons
,
three
sisters
that
had
but
one
eye
amongst
them
which
they
used
by
turnes
when
they
went
abroad
.
in
publishing
a
matter
so
incredible
:
yet
I
cannot
chuse
but
tell
it
:
for
they
have
eyes
to
take
in
and
out
as
please
themselves
:
and
when
a
man
is
so
disposed
,
hee
may
take
them
out
and
lay
them
by
till
hee
have
occasion
to
use
them
,
and
then
put
them
in
and
see
againe
:
many
when
they
have
lost
their
owne
eies
,
borrow
of
others
:
for
the
rich
have
many
lying
by
them
:
their
eares
are
all
made
of
the
leaves
of
plane-trees
,
excepting
those
that
come
of
acornes
,
for
they
onely
have
them
made
of
wood
.
I
saw
also
another
strange
thing
in
the
same
court
:
a
mightie
great
glasse
,
lying
upon
the
top
of
a
pit
,
of
no
great
depth
,
whereinto
,
if
any
man
descend
,
hee
shall
heare
every
thing
that
is
spoken
upon
the
earth
:
if
hee
but
looke
into
the
glasse
,
hee
shall
see
all
cities
,
and
all
nations
as
well
as
if
hee
were
among
them
:
there
had
I
the
sight
of
all
my
friends
,
and
the
whole
countrie
about
:
whether
they
saw
mee
or
not
I
cannot
tell
:
but
if
they
beleeve
it
not
to
be
so
,
let
them
take
the
paines
to
goe
thither
themselves
and
they
shall
finde
my
words
true
:
then
we
tooke
our
leaves
of
the
king
,
and
such
as
were
neare
him
,
and
tooke
shipping
,
and
departed
:
at
which
time
Endymion
bestowed
upon
mee
two
mantles
made
of
their
glasse
,
&
five
of
brasse
,
with
a
compleat
armour
of
those
shells
of
lupines
,
all
which
I
left
behinde
mee
in
the
whale
:
and
sent
with
us
a
thousand
of
his
Hippogypians
to
conduct
us
five
hundred
furlongs
on
our
way
:
In
our
course
we
coasted
many
other
countries
,
and
lastly
arrived
at
the
morning
starre
now
newly
inhabited
,
where
wee
landed
,
and
tooke
in
fresh
water
:
from
thence
wee
entred
the
Zodiake
,
passing
by
the
Sunne
,
and
leaving
it
on
our
right
hand
tooke
our
course
neare
unto
the
shoare
,
but
landed
not
in
the
country
,
though
our
companie
did
much
desire
it
,
for
the
winde
would
not
give
us
leave
:
but
wee
saw
it
was
a
flourishing
region
,
fat
,
and
well
watered
,
abounding
with
all
delights
:
but
the
Nephelocentaures
espying
us
,
who
were
mercenary
souldiers
to
Phaethon
,

how

,

how
true
a
reporter
,
and
how
little
cause
there
is
to
question
his
fidelitie
for
what
hee
hath
written
.
The
third
after
,
the
Ocean
appeared
plainly
unto
us
,
though
we
could
see
no
land
,
but
what
was
in
the
aire
:
and
those
countries
also
seemed
to
be
fierie
and
of
a
glittering
colour
:
the
fourth
day
about
noone
,
the
winde
gently
forbearing
,
settled
us
faire
and
leasurely
into
the
sea
:
and
as
soone
as
wee
found
our selves
upon
water
,
we
were
surprised
with
incredible
gladnesse
,
and
our
joy
was
unexpressible
:
we
feasted
and
made
merrie
with
such
provision
as
wee
had
,
we
cast
our selves
into
the
sea
,
and
swamme
up
and
downe
for
our
disport
,
for
it
was
a
calme

But
oftentimes
it
falleth
out
,
that
the
change
to
the
better
,
is
the
beginning
of

had

in

water
,
as
soone
as
the
third
day
appeared

about

saw

:
but
one
above

containing
in
greatnesse
fifteene
hundred
furlongs
,
which
came
gaping
upon

troubled

An
Island
in
the
easterne
part
of
the
Mediterranean
sea
,
betwixt
Syria
and
Cilicia
.
Cyprus
,
and
travelling
from
mine
owne
countrie
as
a
marchant
,
with
this
my
sonne
you
see
here
,
and
many
other
friends
with
mee
,
made
a
voyage
for
Italie
in
a
great
ship
full
fraught
with
marchandise
,
which
perhaps
you
have
seene
broken
in
pieces
in
the
mouth
of
the
whale
:
wee
sailed
with
faire
weather
,
till
wee
were
as
farre
as
Sicilie
:
but
there
we
were
overtaken
with
such
a
boistrous
storme
,
that
the
third
day
wee
were
driven
into
the
Ocean
,
where
it
was
our
fortune
to
meete
with
this
whale
which
swallowed
us
all
up
,
and
onely
wee
two
escaped
with
our
lives
,
all
the
rest
perished
,
whom
wee
have
here
buried
and
built
a
Temple
to
Neptune
:
ever
since
we
have
continued
this
course
of
life
,
planting
hearbs
&
feeding
upon
fish
and
nuts
:
here
is
wood
enough
you
see
,
and
plentie
of
vines
which
yeeld
most
delicate
wine
:
we
have
also
a
well
of
excellent
coole
water
,
which
it
may
be
you
have
seene
:
wee
make
our
beddes
of
the
leaves
of
trees
,
and
burne
as
much
wood
as
wee
will
:
wee
chace
after
the
birds
that
flie
about
us
,
and
goe
out
upon
the
gills
of
the
monster
to
catch
after
live
fishes
:
here
wee
bath
our selves
when
wee
are
disposed
,
for
wee
have
a
lake
of
salt
water
not
farre
off
,
about
some
twentie
furlongs
in
compasse
,
full
of
sundrie
sorts
of
fish
,
in
which
wee
swimme
and
saile
upon
it
in
a
little
boat
of
mine
owne
making
.
This
is
the
seven
and
twentieth
yeare
of
our
drowning
,
and
with
all
this
wee
might
be
well
enough
contented
,
if
our
neighbours
,
and
borderers
about
us
were
not
perverse
and
troublesome
,
altogether
insociable
and
of
sterne
condition
.
Is
it
so
indeed
,
said
I
,
that
there
should
be
any
within
the
whale
but
your selves
?
many
said
hee
,
and
such
as
are
unreconcileable
towards
strangers
,
and
of
monstrous
and
deformed
proportions
:
the
westerne
countries
,
and
the
taile-part
of
the
wood
,
are
inhabited
by
the
Tarychanians
,
that
looke
like
●…les
,
with
faces
like
a
lobster
:
these
are
warlike
,
fieres
,
and
feed
upon
raw
flesh
:
they
that
dwell
towards
the
right
side
,
are
called
Tritonomenditans
,
which
have
their
upper
parts
like
unto
men
,
their
lower
parts
like
oattes
,
and
are
lesse
offensive
than
the
rest
:
On
the
left
side
inhabit
the
Cancinachirians
and
the
Thinocephalians
,
which
are
in
league
one
with
another
:
the
middle
region
is
possest
by
the
Pagurodians
,
and
the
Psittopodians
,
a
warlike
nation
and
swift
of
foot
:
eastwards
towards
the
mouth
is
for
the
most
part
desart
,
as
over
washt
with
the
sea
:
yet
am
I
faine
to
take
that
for
my
dwelling
,
paying
yearely
to
the
Psittopodians
,
in
way
of
tribute
,
five
hundred
oysters
:
of
so
many
nations
doth
this
countrie
consist
:
wee
must
therefore
devise
among
our selves
,
either
how
to
be
able
to
fight
with
them
,
or
how
to
live
among
them
.
What
number
may
they
all
amount
unto
,
said
I
?
more
than
a
thousaid
hee
:
and
what
armour
have
they
?
none
at
all
,
said
hee
,
but
the
bones
of
fishes
:
then
were
it
our
best
course
,
said
I
,
to
incounter
them
,
being
provided
as
wee
are
,
and
they
without
weapons
:
for
if
we
prove
too
hard
for
them
we
shall
afterward
live
out
of
feare
:
this
we
concluded
upon
,
and
went
to
our
ship
to
furnish
our selves
with
armes
:
the
occasion
of
warre
wee
gave
by
Nonpayment
of
tribute
,
which
then
was
due
:
for
they
sent
their
messengers
to
demand
it
,
to
whom
hee
gave
a
harsh
and
scornfull
answer
,
and
sent
them
packing
with
their
arrant
:
but
the
Psittopodians
and
Paguradians
,
taking
it
ill
at
the
hands
of
Scintharus
,
for
so
was
the
man
named
,
came
against
us
with
great
tumult
:
&
we
suspecting
what
they
would
do
,
stood
upon
our
guard
to
wait
for
them
,
and
laid
five
and
twentie
of
our
men
in
ambush
,
commanding
them
as
soone
as
the
enemie
was
past
bye
,
to
set
upon
them
:
who
did
so
,
and
arose
out
of
their
ambush
,
and
fell
upon
the
reare
:
[

n
A
fish
with
many
feet
.
Polypodes
fast
tied
,
which
they
cast
at
the
other
,
and
if
they
once
laid
hold
on
the
wood
,
they
made
the
Isle
sure
enough
for
stirring
:
they
darted
and
wounded
one
another
with
oisters
that
would
fill
a
waine
,
and
spunges
as
bigge
as
an
acre
:
the
leader
on
the
one
side
was
Aeolocentaurus
,
and
of
the
other
Thalassopotes
:
the
quarell
,
as
it
seemes
,
grew
about
taking
a
bootie
:
for
they
said
that
Thalassopotes
,
drave
away
many
flockes
of
dolphines
that
belonged
to
Aeolocentaurus
,
as
wee
heard
by
their
clamours
one
to
another
,
and
calling
upon
the
names
of
their
kings
:
but
Aeolocentaurus
had
the
better
of
the
day
and
sunke
one
hundred
and
fiftie
of
the
enemies
Islands
,
and
three
they
tooke
with
the
men
and
all
:
the
rest
withdrew
themseves
and
fled
,
whom
the
other
pursued
,
but
not
farre
,
because
it
grew
towards
evening
,
but
returned
to
those
that
were
wrackt
&
broken
,
which
they
also
recovered
for
the
most
part
,
and
tooke
their
owne
away
with
them
:
for
on
their
part
there
were
no
lesse
than
fourescore
Ilands
drowned
:
then
they
erected
a
Trophie
for
a
monument
of
this
Island
fight
,
and
fastned
one
of
the
enemies
Islands
with
a
stake
upon
the
head
of
the
whale
:
that
night
they
lodged
close
by
the
beast
,
casting
their
cables
about
him
,
and
ankered
neare
unto
him
:
their
ankers
are
huge
&
great
made
all
of
glasse
,
but
of
a
wonderfull
strength
:
the
morrow
after
when
they
had
sacrificed
upon
the
top
of
the
whale
,
and
there
buried
their
dead
,
they
sailed
away
,
with
great
triumph
and
songs
of
victorie
,
and
this
was
the
manner
of
the
Islands
fight
.
The
second
Booke
.
Vpon
this
wee
began
to
be
weary
of
our
abode
in
the
whale
,
and
our
tarriance
there
did
much
trouble
us
,
we
therefore
set
all
our
wits
aworke
to
finde
out
some
means
or
other
to
cleare
us
from
our
captivitie
:
first
,
wee
thought
it
would
do
well
to
digge
a
hole
thorow
his
right
side
,
and
make
our
escape
that
way
forth
,
which
we
began
to
labour
at
lustily
:
but
after
we
had
pierced
him
five
furlongs
deep
,
and
found
it
was
to
no
purpose
,
we
gave
it
over
.
Then
wee
devised
to
set
the
wood
on
fire
,
for
that
would
certainly
kill
him
without
all
question
,
and
being
once
dead
,
our
issue
would
be
easie
enough
:
this
we
also
put
in
practice
,
and
and
began
our
project
at
the
taile
end
,
which
burnt
seven
daies
,
and
as
many
nights
,
before
hee
had
any
feeling
of
our
fire
workes
:

Then
we
entred
into
a
sea
,
not
of
water
,
but
of
milke
,
in
which
appeared
a
white
Island
full
of
vines
:
this
Island
was
onely
a
great
cheese
,
well
prest
(
as
wee
afterwards
found
when
wee
fed
upon
it
)
about
some
five
and
twentie
furlongs
in
bignesse
:
the
vines
were
full
of
clusters
of
grapes
,
out
of
which
wee
could
crush
no
wine
but
onely
milke
:
in
the
midst
of
the
Island
,
there
was
a
temple
built
,
dedicated
to

as

,
the

,
and
our

was

that
came

in
this
Island
wee
rested
our selves
five
daies
,
and
on
the
sixth
put
to
sea
againe
,
a
gentle
guale
attending
us
,

the
seas
all
still
and
quiet
.

as
wee
sailed
onward

not

Hee
was
King
of
Elis
a
territorie
of
Peloponnesus
,
and
for
imitating
the
thunder
,
by
running
his
chariot
over
a
bridge
of
brasse
,
was
slaine
with
a
thunderbolt
by
Jvpiter
.
wee
saw
many
men
running
upon
the
sea
,
like
unto
us
every
way
forth
,
both
in
shape
and
stature
,
but
onely
for
their
feete
which
were
of
corke
,
whereupon
I
suppose
they
had
the
name
of
Phellopodes
:
we
marvelled
much
when
wee
saw
they
did
not
sinke
,
but
keepe
above
water
,
and
travell
upon
it
so
boldly
:
these
came
unto
us
,
and
saluted
us
in
the
Graecian
language
,
and
said
they
were
bound
towards
Phello
,
their
owne
countrie
,
and
for
a
while
ranne
along
by
us
,
but
at
last
turned
their
owne
way
and
left
us
,
wishing
us
a
happie
and
prosperous
voyage
.
Within
a
while
after
many
Islands
appeared
,
and
neare
unto
them
,
upon
our
left
hand
stood
Phello
,
the
place
whereunto
they
were
travelling
,
which
was
a
citie
seated
upon
a
mightie
great
and
round
corke
.
Further
off
,
and
more
towards
the
right
hand
,
wee
saw
five
other
Islands
,
large
and
mountainous
,
in
which
much
fire
was
burning
:
but
directly
before
us
,
was
a
spacious
flat
Island
,
distant
from
us
not
above
five
hundred
furlongs
:
and
approaching
somewhat
neare
unto
it
,
a
wonderfull
fragrant
aire
breathed
upon
us
,
of
a
most
sweet
and
delicate
smell
,
such
as
Herodotus
the
storie-writer
saith
ariseth
out
of
Arabia
the
happie
,
consisting
of
a
mixture
of
roses
,
daffadills
,
gilli-flowres
,
lillies
,
violets
,
myrtles
,
baies
,
and
blossomes
of
vines
:
such
a
daintie
odoriferous
savour
was
conveyed
unto
us
:
being
delighted
with
this
smell
,
and
hoping
for
better
fortunes
after
our
long
labours
,
wee
got
within
a
little
of
the
Isle
,
in
which
wee
found
many
havens
on
every
side
,
not
subject
to
over
floting
,
and
yet
of
great
capacitie
,
and
rivers
of
cleare
water
emptying
themselves
easily
into
the
sea
,
with
medowes
and
hearbes
,
and
musicall
birds
,
some
singing
upon
the
shoare
,
and
many
upon
the
branches
of
trees
,
a
still
and
gentle
aire
compassing
the
whole
countrie
:
when
pleasant
blasts
gently
stirred
the
woods
,
the
motion
of
the
branches
made
a
continuall
delight
some
melodie
,
like
the
sound
of
wind
instruments
in
a
solitarie
place
:
a
kinde
of
clamour
also
was
heard
mixt
with
it
,
yet
not
tumultuous
nor
offensive
,
but
like
the
noise
of
a
banket
,
when
some
do
play
on
winde
instruments
,
some
commend
the
musicke
,
and
some
with
their
hands
applaud
the
pipe
,
or
the
harpe
,
all
which
yeelded
us
so
great
content
;
that
wee
boldly
entred
the
haven
,
made
fast
our
ship
and
landed
,
leaving
in
her
onely
Scintharus
,
and
two
more
of
our
companions
behinde
us
,
passing
along
thorow
a
sweete
medow
,
wee
met
with
the
guards
that
used
to
saile
about
the
Island
,
who
tooke
us
,
and
bound
us
with
garlands
of
roses
(
which
are
the
strictest
bands
they
have
)
to
be
carried
to
their
governour

the
Heroes
,
and
then
depart
,
prefixing
us
seven
months
libertie
to
conclude
our
tariance
,
and
no
more
:
then
our
garlands
fell
off
from
us
of
themselves
,
and
wee
were
set
loose
,
and
led
into
the
citie
to
feast
with
the
blessed
:
the
citie
was
all
of
gold
,
compassed
with
a
wall
made
of
the
precious
stone
Smaragdus
,
which
had
seven
gates
,
every
one
cut
out
of
a
whole
peece
of
timber
of
cinamon
tree
:
the
pavement
of
the
city
,
&
all
the
ground
within
the
walls
was
Ivorie
:
the
temples
of
all
the
gods
are
built
of
Berryll
,
with
large
altars
made
all
of
one
whole
Amethyst
,
upon
which
they
offer
their
sacrifices
:
about
the
citie
runneth
a
river
of
most
excellent
sweet
ointment
,
in
breadth
an
hundred
cubits
of
the
larger
measure
,
and
so
deepe
that
a
man
may
swimme
in
it
with
ease
:
for
their
bathes
,
they
have
great
houses
of
glasse
,
which
they
warme
with
cinamon
:
and
their
bathing
tubbes
are
filled
with
warme
dew
instead
of
water
:
their
onely
garments
are
cob-webs
of
purple
colour
,
neither
have
they
any
bodies
,
but
are
intactile
and
without
flesh
,
a
meere
shape
and
presentation
onely
:
and
being
thus
bodilesse
,
they
yet
stand
,
and
are
moved
,
are
intelligent
,
and
can
speake
:
and
their
naked
soule
seemeth
to
wander
up
and
downe
,
in
a
corporall
likenesse
:
for
if
a
man
touch
them
not
,
he
cannot
say
otherwise
,
but
that
they
have
bodies
,
altogether
like
shadowes
standing
upright
,
and
not
,
as
they
are
of
a
darke
colour
:
no
man
waxeth
any
older
there
then
hee
was
before
,
but
of
what
age
hee
comes
thither
,
so
hee
continues
:
neither
is
there
any
night
with
them
,
nor
indeed
cleare
day
:
but
like
the
twilight
towards
morning
before
the
Sun
be
up
,
such
a
kinde
of
light
do
they
live
in

,
they
say
were
willing
enough
to
come
,

that
they
yet
are
doubtfull
,
and
in
suspence
,
&
cannot
comprehend
how
there
should
be
any
such
Island
:
but
indeed
,
I
thinke
they
were
fearfull
to
come
to
be
judged
by
Rhadamanthus
,
because
themselves
have
abolished
all
kinde
of
judgement
:
yet
many
of
them
,
they
say
,
had
a
desire
,
and
would
follow
after
those
that
were
comming
hither
,
but
were
so
sloathfull
as
to
give
it
over
,
because
they
were
not
comprehensive
,
and
therefore
turned
backe
in
the
midst
of
their
way
:
these
were
all
the
men
of
note
that
I
saw
there
:
and
amongst
them
all
,
Achilles
was
held
to
be
the
best
man
,
and
next
to
him
Theseus
:
for
their
manner
of
venerie
and
copulation
thus
it
is
:
they
couple
openly
in
the
eyes
of
all
men
,
both
with
females
and
male
kinde
,
and
no
man
holds
it
for
any
dishonestie
:
onely
Socrates
would
sweare
deeply
that
he
accompanied
young
men
in
a
cleanly
fashion
,
and
therefore
every
man
condemned
him
for
a
perjured
fellow
:
and
Hyacinthus
snd
Narcissus
both
confest
otherwise
for
all
his
deniall
:
the
women
there
are
all
in
common
,

no

it

themselves

had
spent
two

I
went
to
talke

to
know

him
what

some
Commentators

have
gone
about

give
a
reason
almost
of
every
word
hee
wrote

why
hee
began
the
first
verse
of
his
poeme

anger
:
and
hee
told
mee
it
fell
out
so
by
chance

not
upon
any
premeditation

I
also
desired
to
know
of
him
,
whether
hee
wrote
his
Odysses
before
his

as
many
men
do
hold
:

he
said
it
was
not
so

for
his
blindnesse

is
charged
upon
him

I
soone
found
it
was
farre
otherwise

perceived
it
so
plainly

that
I
needed
not

him
about
it

thus
was
I
used

doe

found

would
goe

is

the

which
wee
went
in

As
wee
entred

on

stands

with

they
reverence

prophet
is

the
interpreter
of
dreames

who
was
preferd
by

to
that
place
of
dignitie
:
these
dreames
are
not
all
alike
either
in
nature
,
or
shape
:
for
some
of
them
are
long
beautifull
and
pleasing
,
others
againe
are
as
short
and
deformed
:
some
make
shew
to
be
of
gold
,
and
others
to
be
as
base
and
beggarly
:
some
of
them
had
wings
,
and
were
of
monstrous
formes
,
others
set
out
in
pompe
as
it
were
in
a
triumph
,
representing
the
apparances
of
Kings
,
Gods
,
and
other
persons
:
many
of
them
were
of
our
acquaintance
,
for
they
had
beene
seene
of
us
before
,
which
came
unto
us
and
saluted
us
as
their
old
friends
,
and
tooke
us
and
lull'd
us
asleep
,
&
feasted
us
nobly
and
courteously
,
promising
beside
all
other
entertainment
which
was
sumptuous
and
costly
,
to
make
us
Kings
and
Princes
:
some
of
them
brought
us
home
to
our
own
countrie
to
shew
us
our
friends
there
,
and
come
backe
with
us
the
next
morrow
:
thus
wee
spent
thirtie
daies
and
as
many
nights
among
them
sleeping
and
feasting
all
the
while
,
untill
a
sudden
clap
of
thunder
awakned
us
all
,
and
we
starting
up

provided
our selves
of
victuals
,

tooke

again

on
the

day
landed
in

upon
the
way
I
opened

read

contents

is

after

made

sent

to

where
I
found
many
that
were
wooers
to

and
riotously
consumed
my
meanes
:

I
slew
them
all
and
was

but
being
kept
backe
by

,
and
not
suffered
to
have

hee
slew

of

,
and
at

Vlysses
being
drawne
thither
by

tumult
,
Telegonus
not
knowing
who
he
was

slew
him

whom
I
begat
of
Circe
,
&
am
now
in
the
Island
of

,
where
I
daily
repent
my selfe
for
refusing
to
live
with
you
,
and
forsaking
the
imortalitie
profered
mee
by
you
;
but
if
I
can
spie
a
convenient
time
,
I
will
give
them
all
the
slippe
and
come
to
you
:
This
was
the
effect
of
the
letter
with
some
addition
concerning
us
,
that
wee
should
have
entertainment
:
and
farre
had
I
not
gone
from
the
sea
,
but
I
found
such
a
cave
as
Homer
speakes
of
,
and
shee
her selfe
working
busilie
at
her
wooll
,
when
shee
had
received
the
letter
,
and
brought
us
in
,
shee
beganne
to
weepe
and
take
on
grievously
,
but
afterwards
shee
called
us
to
meat
,
and
made
us
very
good
cheare
,
asking
us
many
questions
concerning
Vlysses
and
Penelope
,
whether
shee
was
so
beautifull
and
modest
,
as
Vlysses
had
often
before
bragged
of
her
:
and
wee
made
her
such
answer
,
as
wee
thought
would
give
her
best
content
:
and
departing
to
our
ship
,
reposed
our selves
neare
unto
the
shoare
,
and
in
the
morning
put
to
sea
,
where
wee
were
taken
with
a
violent
storme
,
which
tost
us
two
daies
together
,
and
on
the
third
wee
fell
among
the
Colocynthopiratans
:
these
are
a
wild
kinde
of
men
,
that
issue
out
of
the
Islands
adjoyning
,
and
prey
upon
passengers
:
and
for
their
shipping
have
mightie
great
gowrds
sixe
cubits
in
length
,
which
they
make
hollow
when
they
are
ripe
,
and
cleanse
out
all
that
is
within
them
,
and
use
the
rindes
for
ships
,
making
their
masts
of
reeds
,
and
their
sailes
of
the
gowrd
leaves
:
These
set
upon
us
with
two
ships
furnished
and
fought
with
us
,
and
wounded
many
,
casting
at
us
instead
of
stones
,
the
seeds
of
those
gowrds
:
the
fight
was
continued
with
equall
fortune
,
untill
about
noone
,
at
which
time
,
behinde
the
Colocynthopiratans
wee
espied
the
Caryonautans
comming
on
,
who
as
it
appeared
,
were
enemies
to
the
other
:
for
when
they
saw
them
approach
,
they
forsooke
us
,
and
turned
about
to
fight
with
them
,
and
in
the
meane
space
wee
hoist
saile
and
away
,
leaving
them
together
by
the
eares
,
and
no
doubt
but
the
Caryonautans
had
the
better
of
the
day
,
for
they
exceeded
in
number
,
having
five
ships
well
furnished
,
and
their
vessels
of
greater
strength
,
for
they
are
made
of
nut-shells
cloven
in
the
midst
and
cleansed
,
of
which
every
halfe
is
fifteene
fadome
in
length
:
when
wee
were
got
out
of
sight
,
we
were
carefull
for
the
curing
of
our
hurt
men
,
and
from
that
time
forwards
went
no
more
unarmd
,
fearing
continually
to
be
assaulted
on
the
suddaine
:
and
good
cause
we
had
:
for
before
sunsetting
,
some
twentie
men
or
thereabouts
,
which
also
were
pirats
,
made
towards
us
riding
upon
monstrous
great
dolphines
,
which
carried
them
surely
:
and
when
their
riders
gat
upon
their
backs
,
would
neigh
like
horses
:
when
they
were
come
neare
us
,
they
divided
themselves
,
some
on
the
one
side
,
and
some
on
the
other
,
and
flung
at
us
with
dried
cuttle-fishes
,
and
the
eyes
of
sea-crabs
:
but
when
we
shot
at
them
againe
and
hurt
them
,
they
would
not
abide
it
,
but
fled
to
the
Island
the
most
of
them
wounded
.
About
midnight
,
the
sea
being
calme
,
wee
fell
,
before
wee
were
aware
upon
a
mightie
great
[
i
](A06421-e52640-b)
i
Or
Kings-fisher
.
Alcyons
nest
,
in
compasse
no
lesse
than
threescore
furlongs
,
in
which
the
Alcyon
herselfe
sailed
,
as
shee
was
hatching
her
egges
,
in
quantitie
almost
equalling
the
nest
:
for
when
shee
tooke
her
wings
,
the
blast
of
her
feathers
had
like
to
have
overturned
our
shippe
,
making
a
lamentable
noise
as
shee
flew
along
:
as
soone
as
it
was
day
,
we
got
upon
it
,
and
found
it
to
be
a
nest
,
fashioned
like
a
great
lighter
,
with
trees
platted
and
wound
one
within
another
,
in
which
were
five
hundred
egges
,
every
one
bigger
than
a
tunne
of
Chios
measure
,
and
so
neare
their
time
of
hatching
,
that
the
young
chickings
might
be
seene
,
and
began
to
crie
:
then
with
an
axe
wee
hewed
one
of
the
egges
in
pieces
,
and
cut
out
a
yong
one
that
had
no
feathers
,
which
yet
was
bigger
than
twentie
of
our
vultures
:
when
wee
had
gone
some
two
hundred
furlongs
from
this
nest
,
fearefull
prodigies
,
and
strange
tokens
appeared
unto
us
:
for
the
carved
goose
that
stood
for
an
ornament
on
the
sterne
of
our
ship
,
suddenly
flusht
out
with
feathers
and
began
to
crie
:
Scintharus
our
pilot
,
that
was
a
bold
man
,
in
an
instant
was
covered
with
haire
:
and
which
was
more
strange
then
all
the
rest
,
the
mast
of
our
shippe
began
to
budde
out
with
branches
,
and
to
beare
fruit
at
the
toppe
,
both
of
figges
,
and
great
clusters
of
grapes
,
but
not
yet
ripe
:
upon
the
sight
of
this
,
wee
had
great
cause
to
be
troubled
in
minde
,
and
therefore
besought
the
gods
to
avert
from
us
the
evill
that
by
these
tokens
was
portended
:
And
wee
had
not
past
full
out
five
hundred
furlongs
,
but
wee
came
in
view
of
a
mightie
wood
of
pine-trees
and
cypresse
,
which
made
us
thinke
it
had
beene
land
,
when
it
was
indeed
a
sea
of
infinite
depth
,
planted
with
trees
that
had
no
rootes
,
but
floted
firme
and
upright
,
standing
upon
the
water
:
when
wee
came
to
it
,
and
found
how
the
case
stood
with
us
,
wee
knew
not
what
to
doe
with
our selves
:
to
goe
forwards
thorow
the
trees
was
altogether
impossible
,
they
were
so
thicke
,
and
grew
so
close
together
:
and
to
turne
againe
with
safetie
,
was
as
much
unlikely
:
I
therefore
got
mee
up
to
the
top
of
the
highest
tree
to
discover
if
I
could
what
was
beyond
,
and
I
found
the
bredth
of
the
wood
to
be
fiftie
furlongs
or
thereabout
,
and
then
appeared
another
Ocean
to
receive
us
,
wherefore
wee
thought
it
best
to
assay
to
lift
up
our
shippe
upon
the
leaves
of
the
trees
which
were
thicke
growne
,
and
by
that
meanes
passe
over
if
it
were
possible
to
the
other
Ocean
:
and
so
wee
did
:
for
fastning
a
strong
cable
to
our
shippe
,
wee
wound
it
about
the
tops
of
the
trees
,
and
with
much
adoe
poised
it
up
to
the
height
,
and
placing
it
upon
the
branches
,
spred
our
sailes
,
and
were
carried
as
it
were
upon
the
sea
,
dragging
our
shippe
after
us
by
the
helpe
of
the
winde
which
set
it
forwards
:
at
which
time
,
a
verse
of
the
poet
Antimachus
came
to
my
remembrance
,
wherein
hee
speakes
of
sailing
over
toppes
of
trees
:
when
wee
had
past
over
the
wood
,
and
were
come
to
the
sea
againe
,
wee
let
downe
our
shippe
in
the
same
manner
as
wee
tooke
it
up
:
Then
sailed
wee
forwards
in
a
pure
and
cleare
streme
,
untill
we
came
to
an
exceeding
great
gulfe
or
trench
in
the
sea
,
made
by
the
division
of
the
waters
,
as
many
times
is
upon
land
:
where
wee
see
great
clifts
made
in
the
ground
by
earthquakes
and
other
meanes
:
whereupon
wee
stroke
saile
and
our
ship
staid
upon
a
sudden
,
when
it
was
at
the
pits
brim
redy
to
tumble
in
:
and
wee
stooping
downe
to
looke
into
it
,
thought
it
could
be
no
lesse
then
a
thousand
furlongs
deepe
,
most
fearfull
and
monstrous
to
behold
,
for
the
water
stood
as
it
were
divided
into
two
parts
,
but
looking
on
our
right
hand
a
farre
off
,
wee
perceived
a
bridge
of
water
,
which
to
our
seeming
,
did
joyne
the
two
seas
together
,
and
crosse
over
from
the
one
to
the
other
:
wherefore
wee
laboured
with
oares
to
get
unto
it
,
and
over
it
wee
went
,
and
with
much
adoe
got
to
the
further
side
,
beyond
all
our
expectation
.
Then
a
calme
sea
received
us
,
and
in
it
we
found
an
Island
,
not
very
great
,
but
inhabited
with
unsociable
people
,
for
in
it
were
dwelling
wild
men
named
Bucephalians
,
that
had
hornes
on
their
heads
like
the
picture
of

Minotaurus
:
where
wee
went
ashore
to
looke
for
fresh
water
and
victuals
,
for
ours
was
all
spent
:
and
there
wee
found
water
enough
,
but
nothing
else
appeared
:
onely
wee
heard
a
great
bellowing
and
roaring
a
little
way
off
,
which
wee
thought
to
have
beene
some
heard
of
cattle
,
and
going
forwards
,
fell
upon
those
men
,
who
espying
us
,
chaced
us
backe
againe
,
and
tooke
three
of
our
companie
:
the
rest
fled
towards
the
sea
:
then
wee
all
armed
our selves
,
not
meaning
to
leave
our
friends
unrevenged
,
and
set
upon
the
Bucephalians
,
as
they
were
dividing
the
flesh
of
them
that
that
were
slaine
,
and
put
them
all
to
flight
,
and
pursued
after
them
,
of
whom
wee
killed
fiftie
,
and
two
wee
tooke
alive
,
and
so
returned
with
our
prisoners
,
but
food
wee
could
finde
none
:
then
the
companie
were
all
earnest
with
mee
to
kill
those
whom
wee
had
taken
:
but
I
did
not
like
so
well
of
that
,
thinking
it
better
to
keepe
them
in
bonds
,
untill
embassadours
should
come
from
the
Bucephalians
to
ransome
them
that
were
taken
,
and
indeed
they
did
:
and
I
well
understood
by
the
nodding
of
their
heads
,
and
their
lamentable
lowing
,
like
petitioners
,
what
their
businesse
was
:
so
wee
agreed
upon
a
ransome
of
sundrie
cheeses
,
and
dried
fish
,
and
onions
,
and
foure
deere
with
three
legges
a
peece
,
two
behind
and
one
before
:
upon
these
conditions
wee
delivered
those
whom
wee
had
taken
,
and
tarrying
there
but
one
day
,
departed
:
then
the
fishes
began
to
shewe
themselves
in
the
sea
,
and
the
birds
flew
over
our
heads
,
and
all
other
tokens
of
our
approach
to
land
appeared
unto
us
:
within
a
while
after
wee
saw
men
travelling
the
seas
,
and
a
new
found
manner
of
navigation
,
themselves
supplying
the
office
both
for
shippe
and
sailer
:
and
I
will
tell
you
how
:
As
they
lye
upon
their
backes
in
the
water
and
their
privie
members
standing
upright
,
which
are
of
a
large
sise
and
fit
for
such
a
purpose
,
they
fasten
thereto
a
saile
,
and
holding
their
cords
in
their
hands
,
when
the
winde
hath
taken
it
,
are
carryed
up
and
downe
as
please
themselves
:
after
these
followed
others
riding
upon
corke
:
for
they
yoake
two
dolphines
together
,
and
drive
them
on
,
(
performing
themselves
the
place
of
a
coach-man
)
which
draw
the
corke
along
after
them
:
these
never
offered
us
any
violence
,
nor
once
shunned
our
sight
,
but
past
along
in
our
companie
,
without
feare
in
a
peaceable
manner
,
wondring
at
the
greatnesse
of
our
shippe
,
and
beholding
it
on
every
side
.
At
evening
wee
arrived
upon
a
small
Island
,
inhabited
,
as
it
seemed
onely
by
women
,
which
could
speake
the
Greeke
language
:
for
they
came
unto
us
,
gave
us
their
hands
,
and
saluted
us
,
all
attired
like
wantons
,
beautifull
,
and
young
,
wearing
long
mantles
downe
to
the
foote
:
the
Island
was
called
Cabalusa
,
and
the
citie
Hydamardia
:
so
the
women
received
us
,
and
every
one
of
them
tooke
aside
one
of
us
for
herselfe
,
and
made
him
her
guest
:
but
I
pausing
a
little
upon
it
(
for
my
heart
misgave
mee
)
looked
narrowly
round
about
,
and
saw
the
bones
of
many
men
,
and
the
sculls
lying
together
in
a
corner
:
yet
I
thought
not
good
to
make
any
stirre
,
or
to
call
my
companie
about
mee
,
or
to
put
on
armes
:
but
taking
the
mallow
into
my
hand
,
made
my
earnest
prayers
thereto
,
that
I
might
escape
out
of
those
present
perils
:
within
a
while
after
,
when
the
strange
female
came
to
wait
upon
mee
,
I
perceived
shee
had
not
the
legges
of
a
woman
,
but
the
hoofes
of
an
asse
:
whereupon
I
drew
my
sword
,
and
taking
fast
hold
of
her
,
bound
her
,
and
examined
her
upon
the
point
:
and
shee
though
unwillingly
,
confest
that
they
were
sea-women
,
called
Onosceleans
,
and
they
fed
upon
strangers
that
travelled
that
way
:
for
said
shee
,
when
wee
have
made
them
drunke
,
wee
go
to
bed
to
them
,
and
in
their
sleepe
,
make
a
hand
of
them
:
I
hearing
this
,
left
her
bound
in
the
place
where
shee
was
,
and
went
up
to
the
roofe
of
the
house
,
where
I
made
an
outcrie
,
and
called
my
company
to
mee
,
and
when
they
were
come
together
,
acquainted
them
with
all
that
I
had
heard
,
and
shewed
them
the
bones
,
and
brought
them
into
her
that
was
bound
,
who
suddenly
was
turned
into
water
,
and
could
not
be
seene
:
notwithstanding
I
thrust
my
sword
into
the
water
,
to
see
what
would
come
of
it
,
and
it
was
changed
into
blood
:
then
wee
made
all
the
hast
wee
could
to
our
shippe
,
and
got
us
away
:
and
as
soone
as
it
was
cleare
day
,
wee
had
sight
of
the
maine
land
,
which
wee
judged
to
be
the
countrie
opposite
to
our
continent
:
whereupon
wee
worshipped
,
and
made
our
prayers
and
tooke
counsell
what
was
now
to
be
done
:
some
thought
it
best
,
onely
to
go
a
land
,
and
so
returne
backe
againe
:
others
thought
it
better
to
leave
our
ship
there
,
and
march
into
the
midland
,
to
trie
what
the
inhabitants
would
do
:
but
whilest
wee
were
upon
this
consultation
a
violent
storme
fell
upon
us
,
which
drave
our
ship
against
the
shoare
,
and
burst
it
all
in
pieces
,
and
with
much
adoe
wee
all
swam
to
land
with
our
armes
,
every
man
catching
what
hee
could
lay
hands
on
:
These
are
all
the
occurrences
I
can
acquaint
you
withall
,
till
the
time
of
our
landing
both
in
the
sea
,
and
in
our
course
to
the
Ilands
,
and
in
the
aire
:
and
after
that
in
the
whale
:
and
when
wee
came
out
againe
,
what
betide
unto
us
among
the
Heroes
,
and
among
the
dreames
,
and
lastly
among
the
Bucephalians
,
and

Onosceleans

then
give

will

was

O
Povertie

it
is
Joves
pleasure
to
have
it
so
:
Povertie

Then
I
will
give
place
:
and
you

and

rest

follow

and
hee
shall
soone
finde
what
a
friend
he
hath
foregone
,
how
true
a
companion
in
his
labour
,
and
how
good
a
teacher
of
the
best
things
:
in
whose
societie
,
his
bodie
was
healthfull
,
Mercurie

They
are
all
departed

therefore
let
us
drawe

what
are
you

damned
wretches
,
or
what
make
you
here
,
to
molest
a

,
that
workes
for

yea
shall
dearely
buy

as
you

I
will

Mercurie
,
Forbeare
good
Timon
,
and
cast
not
at
us
:
mistake
us
not
:
wee
are
not
men
:
I
am
Mercurie
,
this
is
Plutus
whom
Jupiter
hearing
thy
prayers
hath
sent
unto
thee
:
wherefore
,
in
good
time
receive
thy
happie
fortune
and
desist
from
thy
labour
.
Timon
.
I
will
make
you
both
repent
it
,
though
yee
be
gods
:
for
I
hate
all
alike
both
gods
and
men
:
and
this
blind
knave
,
whosoever
hee
be
,
shall
soone
finde
to
his
cost
the
weight
of
my
mattocke

Plutus

For
gods
sake
Mercurie
let
us
be
gone
,
the
man
is
sure
more
than
madde
,
and
will
do
mee
a
mischiefe
before
I
shall
get
from
him
.
Mercurie

Be
not selfe
will'd
Timon
,
I
pray
you
,
but
lay
aside
this
fiercenesse
and
bitternesse
:
stretch
out
your
hands
,
receive
good
fortune
,
be
rich
againe
and
the
chiefe
among
the
Athenians
,
live
in
despight
of
those
ungratefull
wretches
,
and
no
man
happie
but
thy selfe
.
Timon
.
I
tell
you
plainly
I
have
no
occasion
to
use
you
:
trouble
mee
not
:
this
mattocke
is
riches
enough
for
mee
:
and
for
all
other
matters
,
I
thinke
my self
best
at

when
no

comes

returne
such
a
harsh
and
unmannerly
answer
to
Jupiter
?
though
you
have
some
cause
to
hate
mankinde
that
have
dealt
dishonestly
with
you
,
yet
be
not
a
hater
of
god
by
any
meanes
,
considering
how
redie
the
gods
have
beene
to
relieve
you
.
Timon
.
For
your
part
,
Mercurie
,
and
so
I
say
for
Jupiter
,
I
yeeld
you
heartie
thankes
,
for
the
care
you
have
had
of
mee
:
but
for
this
Plutus
,
I
will
have
nothing
to
do
with
him
.
Mercurie
.
What
is
your
reason
for
that
?
Timon
.
Because
hee
hath
beene
the
meanes
of
the
infinite
miseries
that
have
betide
unto
mee
,
betrayed
mee
into
the
hands
of
flatterers
,
delivered
mee
up
to
those
that
lay
in
wait
for
mee
,
Mercurie
.
You
are
to
blame
in
that
,
I
must
tell
you
,
for
all
men
deserve
not
such
a
measure
of
extremitie
:
therefore
cast
off
this
pettish
and
childish
kind
of
humor
,
and
accept
of

Will
you
give

leave
,
Timon
,
to
tell
you
truth
?
and
will
you
not
take
it
ill
at

?
Timon
.
Speake
then
,
but
be
short
:
make
no
proeme
,
as
the
damned
Rhetoritians
are
wont
to
doe
:
for
I
am
content
to
heare
a

or

from
thee
,
for
this
honest
Mercuries
sake
.
Plut.
Your
objections
have
bin
so
many
,
that
perhaps
they
require
a
longer
answer
than
so
:
Mercurie
.
But
now
,
Plutus
,
you
see
hee
is
another
manner
of
man
,
wherefore
take
a
good
heart
unto
you
,
and
goe
dwell
with
him
;
you
Timon
,
digge
as
you
did
before
,
and
do
thou
Plutus
conveigh
treasure
unto
him
under
his
mattocke
,
for
he
will
heare
thee
at
the
first
call
.
Timon
.
I
am
content
for
this
once
,
Mercurie
,
to
be
rul'd
by
you
,
and
to
be
made
a
rich
man
againe
:
for
what
can
a
man
do
withall
,
when
the
gods
do
so
importune
him
?
but
consider
I
beseech
you
,
what
a
pecke
of
troubles
you
plunge
mee
miserable
man
into
,
that
have
lately
lived
most
happily
,
and
must
now
suddenly
be
indowed
with
such
a
masse
of
gold
,
without
doing
any
injurie
,
and
taking
so
many
cares
upon
mee
.
Mercurie
.
Indure
it
all
,
Timon
,
for
my
sake
:
unlesse
in
your
discretion
you
thinke
it
hainous
to
have
your
former
flatterers
burst
with
envie
:
for
I
will
take
my
flight
over
mount
Aetna
,
and
so
into
heaven
.
Plutus
.
Hee
is
gone
,
I
perceive
by
the
fluttering
of
his
wings
:
but
abide
thou
there
,
or
if
thou
like
better
of
it
strike
with
thy
mattock
into
the
earth
.
Ho
treasure
!
golden
treasure
I
say
,
attend
to
this
Timon
,
and
deliver
thy selfe
to
be
taken
up
by
him
.
Digge
now
Timon
as
deepe
as
thou
canst
,
I
will
give
way
unto
you
.
Timon
.
Come
on
then
my
good
mattocke
,
strengthen
thy selfe
for
my
sake
,
and
bee
not
tired
with
provoking
treasure
to
shew
himselfe
openly
,
out
of

bowels
of

:
O

how
should

upon

to
accompanie
no
man
,
to
take
notice
of
no
man
,
and
to
live
in
contempt
of
all
men
:
the
title
of
friend
,
or
guest
,
or
companion
,
or
the
altar
of
mercie
,
are
but
meere
toies
,
not
worth

to
be

to
be
sorrie
for
him
that
weepes
,
or
helpe
him
that
wants
,
shall
be
a
transgression
and
breach
of

:
I
will
eate
alone
as

do
,
&
have
but
one
friend
in
the
world
to
beare
mee
companie
,
and
that
shall
be
Timon
:
all
others
shall
be
enemies
and
traitors
,
and
to
have
speech
with
any
of
them
,
an
absolute
piacle
:
If
I
do
but
see
a

,
that

shall
be
dismall

accursed
:
I
will
make

I

make

,
as

conjoyned
only
to
himselfe
,
discarding
all
other
:
and
let
it
be
further
enacted
,
that
it
shall
be
lawfull
for
him
onely
to
shake
himselfe
by
the
hand
,
that
is
,
either
when
hee
is
about
to
die
,
or
to
set

upon

the

to
him
in

is
to
be
called

the
notes

of

shall

An
ancient
and
wise
Prince
of
the
Grecians
,
who
lived
thrice
the
age
of
an
ordinary
man

Nestor

he
hath
to
do

It
may
be
so

I
may

how
well
I

this

broke

I
counselled

Behold
a

the
Rhetorician
with
a
decree
in

hand

who
professeth
himselfe
to

I
payed
to

for

eleven
talents
in
one
day
,
which
hee
was
fin'd
in

and
committed
untill
hee
should
make

for

In

For
as
much
as
Timon
,
the
sonne
of
Echecratides
,
the
Colyttean
,
a
man
not
onely
honest
and
vertuous
,
but
so
wise
and
discreet
withall
,
that
his
like
againe
is
not
to
be
found
in
Greece
)
hath
evermore
sought
the
good
of
the
citie
,
and
hath
got
the
best
prize
at
combating
,
wrastling
,
and
running
at
the
Olympian
games
in
one
day
,
beside
the
race

and
coursing

"
Timon

Why
man
,
I
never
went
to
see
the
Olympian
"
games
,
in
all
my
life
.
Demeas
.
What
then
?
you
may
see
them
hereafter
:
and
for
such
matters
as
these
,
it
is
better
the
mention
of
them
should
precede
then
follow
.
Hee
also
fought
bravely
of
late
in
the
quarrell
of
his
countrie
,
against
the
Acharnens
,
and
cut
in
pieces
two
companies
of
the
Lacedaemonians
.
Timon
.
What
's
that
?
I
protest
for
my
part
,
because
I
had
no
skill
in
armes
,
I
was
never
yet
inrold
into
any
militarie
companie
.
Demeas

You
speake
to
poorely
of
your selfe
:
but
wee
might
be
thought
unthankfull
if
wee
should
not
remember
it
:
moreover
:
By
publishing
Decrees
,
by
giving
good
counsell
,
and
by
good
command
in
warre
,
he
hath
procured
no
small
benefite
to
the
citie
:
for
all
which
considerations
,
be
it
enacted
by
the
counsell
and
the
people
,
and
the
highest
court
of
the
citie
,
according
to
their
tribes
,
and
all
the
multitude
in
particular
and
generall
,
that
a
golden
statue
shall
be
erected
to
Timon
in
the
castle
,
and
placed
next
to
the
image
of
Minerva
,
holding
a
thunderbolt
in
his
right
hand
,
and
the
sun-beames
shining
about
his
head
,
and
hee
be
crowned
with
seven
crownes
of
gold
,
and
this
to
be
publikely
proclaimed
this
day
in
the
new
tragedies
of
Bacchus
:
for
the
feasts
of
Bacchus
are
to
be
celebrated
by
him
this
day
:
this
sentence
is
pronounced
by
Demeas
the
Rhetoritian
,
his
kinsman
in
the
nearest
degree
of
blood
,
and
his
scholler
beside
,
for
Timon
is
also
a
good
Rhetoritian
,
&
good
at
every
thing
else
whatsoever
hee
will
.
This
is
the
Decree
that
I
have
framed
for
you
.
Moreover
,
my
purpose
is
to
bring
my
sonne
unto
you
shortly
,
and
after
your
name
to
call
him
Timon
.
Timon
.
How
should
that
be
,
Demeas
,
when
thou
never
hadst
any
wife
that
I
ever
heard
of
.
Demeas
.
Timon
.
I
know
not
whether
it
will
be
your
fortune
ever
to
come
to
marriage
,
friend
mine
,
if
this
blow
with
my
Mattocke
do
but
fall
aright
.
Demeas
.
Alas
,
alas
:
what
meanest
thou
by
this
?
dost
thou
tyrannize
,
Timon
,
and
beate
freemen
,
that
art
no
true
freeman
,
Timon
.
No
such
matter
:
for
that
thou
seest
stands
unburnt
,
and
therefore
thou
shewest
thy selfe
a
plaine
sycophant
.
Demeas
.
But
thou
art
rich
,
and
hast
broken
in
thorow
the
backe
doore
.
Timon

Neither
is
that
broken
up
:
and
therefore
thou
art
idle
every
way
.
Demeas

But
broken
up
it
will
be
:
and
thou
hast
already
got
into
thy
hands
all
the
riches
that
were
within
it
.
Timon

Take
one
blow
more
for
that
.
Demeas

O
my
backe

what
shall
I
doe

then
will
hee
passe

nothing

temperance

sobrietie
,
when
hee
is

and
brings
out
his
words
so
scurvily
,
that
all
the
company
laughs
him
to
scorne
:
then
falls
hee
to
spewing
,
untill
at

last
some
take
him
away

carrie
him
out
of

hee
catch
hold

wenches
as

hee
can

when
hee
is
at
the
best
,
hee
shall
subscribe
to
no
man
for
lying
,
and
audaciousnesse
,
and
covetousnesse

he
is
the
prime
of
all

leads

How
came

to
have
such
knowledge
in
the
matter
Philo
,
and
was
not
amongst
us
?
Philo.
Hee
had
it
,
as
hee
said
,
from
Dionicus
the
physician
,
and
Dionicus
I
suppose
was
one
of
them
that
was
at
supper
with
you
.
Lucinus
.
True
:
but
Dionicus
was
not
there
soone
enough
to
know
how
it
began
:
for
he
came
late
in
,
about
the
midst
of
the
brabble
,
a
little
before
they
fell
to
blowes
,
and
therefore
could
not
deliver
any
certaintie
,
not
knowing
whereupon
the
quarrell
grew
,
that
it
should
proceed
so
farre
,
as
to
end
in
blood
.
Philo.
For
which
cause
Charinus
wish't
us
to
repaire
to
you
,
Lucinus
,
if
wee
desired
to
be
fully
informed
in
the
whole
carriage
of
the
businesse
,
for
that
Dionicus
told
him
,
hee
was
not
there
at
the
first
:
but
that
you
knew
all
that
was
done
to
a
haire
,
and
remembred
every
word
that
was
spoken
,
not
carelesly
suffering
any
thing
to
slippe
from
you
,
but
attentively
noting
it
with
all
diligence
:
wherefore
you
shall
not
escape
us
,
without
sweetning
our
lippes
also
with
your
daintie
junkets
,
for
to
mee
,
no
banquet
in

world
can
be
more
pleasing
than
your
reports
:
and
the
rather
because
wee
may
here
feast
together
soberly
and
quietly
out
of
danger
of
blowes
or
bloodshed
,
whether
they
be
old
men
or
yong
,
that
shall
so
farre
abuse
themselves
in

,
as
to
say

doe
they
care
not
what
.
Lucinus
.
Why
Philo
,
do
you
thinke
it
fit
,
that
matters
of
this
nature
should
be
communicated
to
all
men
,
and
every
thing
publisht
that
is
done
in
wine
and
drunkennesse
?
These
kinde
of
businesses
ought
rather
to
be
committed
to
forgetfulnesse
,
and
construed
to
be
the
workes
of
the
great
god
Bacchus
,
who
will
not
suffer
any
of
his
Orgies
to
be
curtailed
or
uncompleat
:
it
is
the
propertie
of
ill
conditioned
persons
strictly
to
examine
that
which
ought
rather
to
be
supprest
in
silence
:
and
you
know
the
Proverbe
:
I
hate
a
memorative
companion
:
Neither
hath
Dionicus
done
well
in
making
it
knowne
to
Charinus
,
or
in
scattering
abroad
what
past
among
philosophicall
persons
:
and
for
my
part
I
will
not
speake
a
word
of
it
.
Philo.
Do
you
make
the
matter
strange
Lucinus
?
betwixt
you
and
mee
,
it
shall
not
be
so
,
for
I
am
sure
of
this
,
that
you
are
in
a
greater
longing
to
tell
it
,
than
I
to
heare
it
:
and
I
do
not
thinke
,
but
for
want
of
auditors
,
you
would
be
glad
to
creepe
to
some
pillar
or
statue
of
stone
and
there
poure
it
all
out
with
open
mouth
,
if
I
should
but
offer
to
leave
you
,
I
know
you
would
not
suffer
mee
to
stir
a
foote
from
you
untill
I
had
heard
it
all
:
but
would
come
to
mee
,
follow
after
mee
,
and
intreat
mee
to
tarrie
it
out
,
I
will
therefore
be
as
strange
to
you
as
you
to
mee
,
god
speede
you
well
,
if
you
be
so
minded
,
wee
will
be
gone
to
heare
it
from
some
other
,
and
not
be
beholding
to
you
.
Lucinus
.
Nay
,
rather
than
you
should
take
it
ill
,
I
will
hasard
the
telling
of
it
all
,
if
you
be
desirous
to
heare
it
:
but
I
would
not
have
you
make
all
the
world
acquainted
with
it

Philo.
Either
I
have
forgot
Lucinus
,
or
you
will
be
the
apter
man
your selfe
to
disperse
such
newes
as
this
,
and
therefore
you
neede
not
to
intreat
mee
that
:

tell
mee
first

did

make

for

marriage
of

sonne

?

No
,
but
hee
gave
his
daughter
Cleanthis
in
marriage
to
a
young
student
in
Philosophie
,
the
sonne
of
Eucritus
the
Usurer
.
Philo.
He
is
a
prettie
youth
indeed
,
but
a
little
too
young
,
not
yet
ripe
enough
for
marriage
.
Lucinus
.
I
know
not
where
hee
could
have
matcht
her
better
:
for
hee
seemes
to
be
a
well
governd
young
man
,
and
to
have
a
good
liking
to
learning
:
beside
,
hee
is
the
onely
child
of
Eucritus
,
who
is
a
rich
man
,
and
therefore
choice
was
made
of
him
for
a
bridegrome
before
all
others
.
Philo.
Eucritus
riches
had
been
motive
sufficient
to
make
up
the
match
:
but
who
were
the
guests
Lucinus
,
that
were
bid
to
the
feast
?
Lucinus
.
I
cannot
tell
you
the
names
of
them
all
,
but
for
Philosophers
and
learned
men
,
which
I
thinke
you
are
most
desirous
to
heare
of
,
Zeno
,
Aristoenetus
sonne
.
Of
the
sect
of
the
Peripatetikes
,
came
Cleodemus
:
dost
thou
not
know
that
fowle-mouth'd
fellow
,
that
wrangler
?
his
schollers
call
him
the
sword
and
dagger
.
There
came
also
Hermo
the
Epicure
,
Epecurus
sect
,
I
will
be
gone
and
leave
all
your
feast
to
your selfe
,
and
with
that
calling
his
man
,
made
as
though
hee
would
depart
:
But
Hermo
answered
,
nay
tarrie
,
and
take
the
better
seate
,
good
Zenothemis
,
though
it
had
beene
good
manners
in
you
to
have
given
place
,
if
for
no
other
respect
,
yet
because
I
am
a
priest
:
speake
of
Epicurus
as
ill
as
you
can
:
I
scorne
,
said
Zenothemis
an
Epicure
priest
and
so
sate
him
down
,
and
next
to
him
,
for
all
that
,
sate
Hermo
:
then
Cleodemus
the
Peripatetike
,
then
Io
,
and
next
to
him
the
bridegrome
,
then
my selfe
,
and
after
mee
Diphilus
,
and
beneath
him
Zeno
his
scholler
:
then
the
Rhetorician
Dionysodorus
,
and
Hestiaeus
the
Grammarian
.
Phili.
Good
god
,
Lucinus
,
call
you
this
a
feast
?
you
may
rather
terme
it
a
schoole
of
many
learned
and
discreet
men
:
and
I
commend
Aristoenetus
,
for
inviting
men
of
such
wisdome
to
take
part
of
his
good
cheare
at
such
a
joyfull
meeting
,
filling
up
his
feast
with
the
prime
flo●…es
of
every
sect
,
not
making
choice
of
one
,
and
leaving
out
another
,
but
coupling
them
all
together
for
companie
.
Lucinus
.
Indeed
,
friend
,
many
rich
men
use
not
that
circumspection
:
but
hee
hath
beene
alwaies
inclin'd
to
learning
,
and
hath
spent
the
most
part
of
his
time
in
conversing
with
such
:
but
to
the
matter
:
wee
did
eate
our
meate
in
great
quiet
for
a
while
,
and
plentifull
provision
was
made
for
us
:
I
neede
not
rehearse
the
sundrie
sorts
of
brothes
,
baked
meats
,
and
banquetting
dishes
that
were
prepared
in
abundance
:
but
whilst
wee
were
busie
at
it
,
Cleodemus
bowing
his
head
to
Io
,
see
you
not
,
said
hee
yonder
old
fellow
,
meaning
Zenothemis
(
for
I
over-heard
him
)
how
fast
hee
crammes
it
in
,
that
all
his
coat
is
covered
over
with
slabber
,
and
what
a
deale
of
meate
hee
hath
given
to
his
man
that
stands
behinde
him
,
thinking
no
bodie
lookes
upon
him
,
nor
remembring
what
companie
hee
is
in
?
I
pray
you
shew
it
to
Lucinus
that
hee
may
be
witnesse
with
us
,
but
I
needed
no
information
from
Io
,
for
I
saw
it
plaine
enough
before
.
No
sooner
were
these
words
out
of
Cleodemus
mouth
,
but
in
comes
Alcidamus
the
Cynick
unsent
for
,
and
instead
of
some
pleasing
insinuation
,
bolted
out
this
old
worne
proverbe
,
Agamemnon
Atreus
sonne
,
was
not
well
pleased
with
this
,
and
other
conceited
jests
fit
for
the
occasion
:
but
all
with
a
low
voice
,
for
no
man
durst
make
him
any
open
answer
,
they
stood
in
such
feare
of
Alcidamus
,
who
was
so
notorious
a
brawler
,
that
he
would
make
more
noise
than
all
the
Cynicks
besides
,
and
for
that
gift
was
terrible
to
all
men
:
but
Aristoenetus
bade
him
welcome
,
and
wisht
him
to
take
a
stoole
and
sit
downe
by
Hestiaeus
,
and
Dionysodorus
,
which
he
refused
,
saying
,
it
was
a
meere
womanish
devise
to
sit
upon
chaires
and
stooles
,
or
to
feast
as
you
do
now
,
lying
almost
along
upon
a
soft
bed
,
and
a
purple
coverlet
spread
under
you
:
I
meane
to
take
my
meate
standing
,
and
walke
about
at
pleasure
,
if
I
be
wearie
,
I
will
spread
my
mantle
on
the
floare
,
and
there
lye
downe
opon

elbow

picture
of

:
As
it
please
you
,
said
Aristoenotus
,
and
so
hee
began
to
traverse
his
ground
,
taking
his
supper
like
a

A

Scythian
,
fleeting
continually
from
place
to

,
to
see
where
he
could
finde
best
pasture
:
thus
wandred
hee
like
a
vagrant
among
the
waiters
that
brought
in
meate
,
eating
and
prating
all
at
once
about
vice
and
vertue
,
scoffing
at
gold
and
silver
,
and
asking
Aristoenetus
what
hee
would
give
for
so
many
earthen
pots
of
the
same
making
,
that
should
be
of
equall
weight
,
but
when
hee
began
to
be
troublesome
,
Aristoenetus
stopt
his
mouth
for
a
time
,
by
commanding
his
man
to
fill
him
a
great
cup
of
wine
up
to
the
brimme
:
this
hee
thought
hee
had
done
for
the
best
:
but
little
did
hee
know
how
many
mischiefes
that
bowle
would
bring
after
it
:
Alcidamus
tooke
it
,
and
was
silent
for
a
while
:
but
afterwards
,
casting
himselfe
upon
the
floare
,
as
hee
before
said
hee
would
doe
,
lay
along
halfe
naked
upon
his
elbow
,
and
held
the
pot
in
his
right
hand
,
as
Hercules
is
painted
drinking
with

the

of

,
which
hee
embraced
instead
of
Juno
,
who
entertained
Hercules
as
hee
went
to
Pirithous
wedding
.
Pholus
:
then
the
cup
began
to
walke
merrily
among
the
rest
of
the
companie
,
there
was
drinking
and
talking
of
all
hands
,
till
lights
were
brought
in
.
In
the
meane
time
I
perceived
the
boy
that
waited
upon
Cleodemus
,
a
prettie
smirke
youth
,
and
a
well
faced
cuppe-bearer
,
sometimes
smile
a
little
,
(
for
I
must
tell
you
all
,
even
the
very
appendancies
to
the
feast
,
especially
,
if
any
thing
were
done
that
might
move
delight
)
I
therefore
watcht
as
narrowly
as
I
could
,
to
finde
out
what
it
was
hee
smiled
at
:
and
not
long
after
hee
came
to
take
the
cup
from
Cleodemus
,
who
giving
him
a
crush
on
the
finger
together
with
the
cuppe
,
gave
him
,
I
thinke
two
pieces
of
silver
:
the
boy
,
at
the
crush
of
his
finger
smiled
againe
,
but
I
imagine
hee
was
not
aware
of
any
money
:
for
,
receiving
it
not
,
the
pieces
fell
downe
and
clattered
in
the
floure
,
whereat
they
both
blusht
exceedingly
:
yet
they
that
●…re
next
knew
not
whose
money
it
was
,
the
boy
denying
that
hee
let
fall
any
,
and
Cleodemus
,
neare
unto
whom
the
noise
was
,
would
not
acknowledge
hee
cast
any
downe
:
so
it
was
let
slippe
,
,
and
nothing
said
of
it
:
for
there
were
not
many
that
saw
it
,
but
onely
I
thinke
Aristoenetus
:
for
within
a
while
after
,
the
boy
was
sent
packing
out
of
the
roome
,
and
an
old
withered
fellow
,
I
thinke
some
muleter
,
or
horse
keeper
,
commanded
to
waite
in
his
place
:
thus
the
matter
was
husht
up
,
which
would
have
beene
a
great
discredit
to
Cleodemus
,
if
it
should
have
beene
knowne
openly
,
&
not
smoothered
,
as
Aristoenetus
discreetly
did
,
imputing
it
to
much
wine
:
but
Alcidamus
,
the
Cynike
,
who
by
this
time
had
got
a
pot
in
his
pate
,
when
hee
had
learned
out
the
name
of
the
bride
,
commanded
silence
with
a
loud
voice
,
and
turning
himselfe
towards
the
women
:
a
health
to
thee
,
O
Cleanthis
,
said
hee
,
and
Hercules
be
thy
good
guide
:
and
when

I
would
have
you

with
that
shewed
his
naked
limbes
so
farre
as
was
beyond
all
shame
:
whereat
the
companie
laught
again
:
but
hee
rising
up
in
rage
,
cast
a
crabbed
countenance
upon
them
,
as
if
his
fingers
itcht
to
have
a
bout
with
some
of
them
,
and
no
doubt
some
or
other
should
have
paid
for

,

in

nicke
,
a

tart
had
not
beene
served
in
which
drew
his
eyes
that
way
,
and
made
him
grow
more
calme
,
and
his
anger
well
allaid
:
for
hee
walkt
the
round
still
the
same
way
it
went
,
and
cramm'd
in
as
fast
as
hee
could
:
by
this
time
most
of
the
companie
was
drunke
,
and
began
to
roare
a
pace
:
Dionysodorus
made
some
speeches
by
fits
,
&
was
commended
by
the
servants
that
stood
behind
:
Hestiaeus
the
Grammarian
spake
verses
,
making
a

mangle
of
Pindarus
,
Hesiodus
,
and
Anacreon
,
out
of
them
all
to
patch
up
one
absurd
poeme
:
and
these
verses
were
ever
in
his
mouth
prophesying

would

up

to

wherefore
suddenly
casting
off
his

hee
challenged
him
to
cuffes

if
hee
refused
,
hee
threatned
to
make
him
feele

of
his

:
whereupon
poore
Satyrion
,
for
so
was

named

settled
himselfe
to

better

in

to
see
a
Philosopher
oppose
himselfe
against
a
jester

to
strike

be
striken
againe
by
such
a
fellow
as
hee
:
the

were

some
laught

untill

gave

put
upon

made

for

never

It
is
enough
said

,
for
this
time
,
that
you
are
prov'd
to
be

persons
:
to
morrow
I
will
revenge
my selfe
in
such
manner
as
it
should
be
:
for
answer
mee
,
Zenothemis
,
if
thou
canst
,
thy selfe
,
or
the
doughtie
Diphilus
,
in
what
respect
you
say
the
possession
of
riches
is
a
thing
indifferent
,
and
yet
care
for
nothing
so
much
as
to
get
more
:
this
makes
you
intrude
your selves
among
the
rich
,
to
become
usurers
,
and
set
forth
money
to
loane
,
and
to
teach
young
men
for
money
:
again
you
hate
pleasure
,
and
exclaime
against
Epicures
,
and
yet
do
,
and
suffer
all
manner
of
filthinesse
for
pleasures
sake
:
if
a
man
invite
you
not
to
his
feast
,
you
will
take
pepper
in
the
nose
,
if
you
be
invited
,
you
will
gorge
your selves
and
cramme
in
till
your

do
cracke
,
beside
what
you
give
away
to
your

:
and
with
that
word
,
he
snatcht
at
the
napkin
which
Zenothemis
man
had
about
him
,
(
for
it
was
full
of
all
sorts
of
good
flesh
)
which
hee
would
have
loosed
,
and
cast
them
all
into

,
but
the
fellow
held
hard
,
and
would
not

it
goe
:

done

Cleodemus
,
said
Hermo
:
let
them
tell

now
,
why
they
crie
out
against
pleasure
,
and
yet
strive
for
it
more
than

?
no
,
said
Zenothemis
,
but
do
thou
tell
mee
Cleodemus
,
in
what
respect
thou
holdest
riches
to
be
not
indifferent
:
no
said
hee
,
but
answer
thou
mee
,
and
thus
they
were
at
it
a
great
while
,
till
Io
stept
forth
and
said
,
I
pray
you
be

was

Aristoenetus

tooke

hee

told

next

were

they
parted

was

was
the
fatter
,

I
thinke
was

chance
,
and
these
they
were
to
take
away
,
either
of
them
his
owne
:
but
then
Zenothemis
,
(

intreat

attention

to

Zenothemis
I
say
,
overskipping
that
which
belonged
to
himselfe
,
would
have
taken
that
away
which
was
set
to

(
for

I
told
you
,
it
was

better
fed

laid

on
it
to
keepe
it
,
and
would
not
suffer
him
to
have
any
other
than
what
was
due
to
him
:
then
there
was
an
outcrie
betweeene

,
and
they
fell

pell-mell

Zenothemis
,
taking

from
off

,
that
stood
before

flung
it
at

,

hit

part

with
his

brake
Cleodemus
head
,
and
gave
Hermo
a
soare
blow
on
the
jawe
bone
,
and
wounded
some
of
the
servants
that
came
to
help
them
:
yet
for
all
that
,
the
other
side
would
not
give
it
over
so
,
but
Cleodemus
with
the
point
of
his
finger
,
tare
one
of
Zenothemis
eies
,
and
closing
with
him
,
bit
of
his
nose
:
and
as
Diphilus
was
comming
to
aid
Zenothemis
,
Hermo
flung
him
of
his
stoole
to
the
ground
with
his
head
forwards
:
Hestiaeus
the
Grammarian
caught
a
blow
amongst
them
too
,
for
Cleodemus
,
I
thinke
,
gave
him
a
kicke
in
the
mouth
,
mistaking
him
for
Diphilus
:
and
there
lay
the
poore
fellow
,
as
Homer
saith
,
spewing
up
his
blood
,
all
was
full
of
tumult
and
teares
:
the
women
howled
out
pittifully
compassing
Choerea
,
but
the
most
kept
themselves
out
of
the
shrape
:
for
Alcidamus
did
more
mischiefe
then
all
the
rest
,
laying
about
him
on
every
side
,
and
striking
hee
car'd
not
who
,
and
many
more
I
am
sure
had
fallen
if
his
staffe
had
held
:
but
I
standing
up
against
the
wall
,
durst
not
for
my
life
once
come
among
them
,
for
Hestiaeus
had
shewed
mee
a
president
,
how
dangerous
it
was
to

such
a
businesse

Lapithes

together

:
tables
were
overturned
,
blood
runne
downe
,
and
bowles
flung
about
:
but
at
the
last
Alcidamus
strake
out
the
light
,
and
we
were
all
in
darkenesse
,
and
farre
worse
than
wee
were
before
:
for
another
light
could
hardly
be
brought
in
amongst
us
,
so
that
many
mischiefes
were
done
in
the
darke
.
In
the
end
when
a
light
came
in
,
though
it
were
long
first
,
Alcidamus
was
found
lifting
at
a
wenches
cloathes
,
and
would
have
ravish'd
her
in
the
darke
whether
shee
would
or
no
:
Dionysodorus
also
was
taken
in
the
manner
with
another
tricke
:
for
rising
up
from
the
place
where
hee
sate
,
a
silver
bowle
fell
out
of
his
bosome
:
but
hee
excused
the
matter
and
said
,
that
Io
tooke
it
up
in
the
tumult
,
and
gave
it
him
to
keepe
lest
it
should
be
lost
:
and
Io
,
to
save
his
honestie
,
affirmed
it
to
be
so
:
Thus
was
the
feast
broken
up
in
teares
:
and
some
againe
laught
as
fast
at
Alcidamus
,
Dionysodorus
,
and
Io:
the
wounded
men
were
faine
to
be
carried
out
of
the
roome
,
in
ill
case
,
especially
old
Zenothemis
,
who
tooke
grievously
the
losse
of
his
eyes
and
his
nose
,
and
cryed
out
that
hee
was
almost
dead
with
paine
:
for
I
le
be
sworne
,
I
little
thought
of
such
a
businesse
as
this
,
but
I
have
got
this
for
my
learning
,
that
it
is
no
safe
course

quiet
men
