THE
Sages
of
auncient
nations
,
(
expert
in
all
the
Sciences
)
desirous
to
publishe
to
those
that
came
after
them
,
their
great
knowledge
and
wisedome
,
euen
with
a
determinate
minde
and
counsell
premeditate
,
decreed
to
set
foorth
a
peece
of
woorke
,
adapted
with
diuers
similitudes
and
sundrie
comparisons
of
vnreasonable
beasts
&
birds
,
by
which
they
might
greatly
beautifie
their
doctrine
,
and
this
they
did
for
diuers
respectes
.
First
,
to
giue
occasion
that
their
wisedome
and
learning
should
be
knowne
to
the
worlde
.
Secondly
,
that
men
of
iudgement
and
discretion
reading
the
same
might
reape
the
benifite
of
their
rules
to
direct
this
fraile
lyfe
.
Thirdlye
,
that
hee
that
vnderstandeth
these
examples
,
knowing

,
shoulde
by
them
knowe
much
.
And
fourthly
,
and
last
of
all
,
if
he
were
yong
,
and
had
small
delight
to
reade
much
:
yet
he
may
with
a
short
and
pleasant
waye
be
instructed
with
these
delighting
fayninges
,
and
with
those
similitudes
and
examples
taste
the
sweetenesse
of
the
woordes
,
the
pleasure
of
the
sentences
,
accompanied
with
proper
tales
:
and
so
(
Gentle
Reader
)
profite
himselfe
,
and
teache
others
.
In
this
their
treatise
such
wise
Fathers
haue
hidden
from
vs
woonderfull
significations
.
For
a
treasure
vndoubtedly
of
so
high
a
misterye
and
doctrine
as
this
is
to
be
more
estemed
,
than
all
the
Iewelles
of
the
worlde
.
This
precious
Iemme
of
knowledge
,
who
so
shall
lodge
it
in
the
secresie
of
his
memorie
,
shall
neuer
lose
it
,
but
shall
rather
augment
and
increase
it
with
age
in
such
sort
,
that
he
shall
winne
a
marueylous
commoditie
to
him
:
and
of
that
plant
shall
taste
the
sauorie
,
pleasant
,
and
profitable
fruites
,
no
lesse
wonderfull
then
delectable
.
To
reade
such
a
Booke
(
worthy
Reader
)
thou
must
call
thy
wittes
togither
,
vniting
them
and
thy
vnderstanding
with
the
due
order
of
the
woorke
,
to
knowe
why
,
and
to
what
purpose
the
olde
prudent
Fathers
framed
it
:
least
thou
be
lyke
to
the
blinde
man
,
that
wanting
his
sight
,
taketh
vpon
him
to
go
ouer
Mountaines
,
Hilles
,
and
Dales
,
through
most
daungerous
and
perillous
wayes
.
He
therefore
that
doth
reade
,
must
vnderstand
what
he
readeth
,
and
why
he
readeth
it
:
and
not
to
be
so
desirous
to
come
to
the
ende
,
that
he
marke
not
the
beginning
,
and
forget
the
sense
(
full
of
knowledge
)
lincked
with
the
middest
and
end
.
For
he
that
readeth
so
,
readeth
without
fruite
,
and
rather
troubleth
the
minde
,
and
wearieth
his
body
than
otherwise
,
not
forcing
the
benifite
and
knowledge
of
the
truth
.
Folow
therefore
these
graue
preceps
and
ruled
order
,
and
let
no
vaine
thoughts
possesse
your
mindes
to
withdraw
you
from
reading
it
.
For
to
finde
so
riche
a
treasure
,
and
not
to
know
how
to
take
and
laye
it
vp
:
is
rightly
to
folow
him
,
that
finding
a
Masse
of
Golde
and
Siluer
,
had
not
the
wyt
to
take
it
,
and
cary
it
away
.
THE
discreete
Reader
that
shall
looke
in
this
Booke
must
giue
attentiue
eare
,
and
note
eche
thing
perticulerly
he
readeth
,
diligently
marking
the
secret
lessons
.
For
alwayes
the
worke
of
these
sage
Fathers
carieth
two
senses
withall
.
The
first
,
knowne
and
manifest
.
The
second
,
hidden
and
secret
.
Of
the
first
we
sweetely
enioy
the
taste
:
but
of
the
second
we
receyue
small
knowledge
,
if
we
deepely
ponder
not
the
wordes
.
And
hereof
we
may
take
ensample
of
the
Nut
,
which
giueth
no
maner
of
taste
to
man
if
he
doe
not
first
breake
and
open
the
shell
,
and
then
comen
to
the
wyshed
kernell
,
he
beginneth
to
taste
the
sauour
therof
,
and
to
reape
the
fruit
of
so
excellent
a
doctrine
.
Let
vs
not
doe
therefore
as
the
vndiscreete
and
simple
man
that
had
a
desire
to
seeme
learned
,
and
to
bee
counted
eloquent
in
speach
,
as
you
shall
heare
.
EVery
man
therfore
must
indeuor
himselfe
to
vnderstand
that
he
readeth
,
and
vnderstanding
it
well
,
he
must
diligently
obserue
that
doctrine
,
marking
to
what
end
and
purpose
that
was
written
that
he
hath
red
,
to
profit
therby
at
any
time
.
I
knowe
there
will
be
wise
men
that
will
beleue
they
can
saye
and
doe
more
wonders
than
this
commeth
to
:
yet
for
all
that
,
the
more
we
reade
,
the
more
we
knowe
,
and
the
quicker
is
our
vnderstanding
,
besides
,
there
is
obteined
euen
profounde
knowledge
.
Learning
bringeth
with
it
a
great
priuiledge
:
for
by
that
men
are
exalted
,
and
to
a
man
of
knowledge
and
vnderstanding
it
giueth
life
.
But
to
him
that
hath
iudgement
and
vnderstanding
,
and
that
gouerneth
not
himselfe
and
his
actions
according
to
the
prescribed
rule
of
reason
:
His
knowledge
I
say
dyeth
in
him
without
fruit
.
As
by
reading
this
example
folowing
you
may
easilye
perceiue
.
EVen
such
a
man
is
he
whome
affection
subdueth
.
He
vnderstandeth
and
is
learned
,
and
able
to
decerne
troth
from
falshoode
,
and
yet
will
not
put
in
proofe
the
true
profit
,
nor
once
follow
and
desire
knowledge
and
wisedome
.
We
might
bring
this
man
in
th
example
of
him
that
hauing
his
sight
good
and
perfite
,
shutting
his
eyes
would
needes
be
ledde
by
a
blinde
man
,
so
that
both
they
falling
into
a
diche
were
drowned
,
and
miserably
died
.
Euery
man
will
condemne
him
for
a
foole
,
and
worse
than
mad
,
that
hauing
his
sight
good
and
without
blemishe
,
that
might
haue
seene
the
daunger
and
scaped
it
,
and
of
mere
foolishnesse
would
not
.
Therefore
euerie
wise
and
discrete
person
must
continually
labour
to
reade
,
and
to
vnderstande
that
he
readeth
,
and
must
then
teache
it
to
as
many
as
desire
to
knowe
it
,
and
to
doe
the
good
workes
of
the
knowledge
he
teacheth
,
that
euery
way
he
may
showe
the
wonderfull
profit
of
his
doctrine
:
for
in
this
case
he
may
not
be
like
vnto
a
Well
or
Spring
,
which
without
any
profit
to
it selfe
quencheth
the
thirst
of
all
beastes
.
The
wise
man
is
afterwardes
bounde
(
when
he
is
growne
to
the
perfection
of
learning
)
to
teach
and
instruct
those
that
knowe
not
.
Prouided
euer
that
he
can
master
himselfe
,
and
subdue
his
affections
.
For
to
a
wise
man
three
things
are
pertinent
:
to
wit
,
Knowledge
,
Richesse
,
and
Mercie
.
And
of
all
things
a
man
must
chiefly
beware
of
reprouing
his
neighbour
of
that
fault
he
himselfe
is
guiltie
off
.
That
he
be
not
likened
to
him
,
which
hauing
a
Perle
in
his
eie
,
found
fault
with
the
element
that
it
was
alway
clowdie
,
not
considering
the
blemish
of
his
eie
.
Yet
greater
doubtlesse
is
our
offence
when
with
our
neighbours
hurt
or
detriment
we
winne
commoditie
to
our selues
.
As
falleth
out
many
times
,
which
this
example
following
sheweth
vs
.
NO
man
therefore
should
deale
so
foolishly
in
thinges
that
haue
no
certaine
ende
,
and
that
are
hard
to
bring
to
passe
:
least
that
wearied
with
superfluous
labor
,
he
cannot
afterwardes
exercise
himselfe
in
thinges
certaine
and
needefull
.
All
our
workes
and
deedes
ought
rather
to
tende
to
profit
vs
in
time
to
come
,
then
to
serue
the
time
present
.
For
if
we
abandon
and
forsake
the
insatiable
and
infinite
desire
we
haue
of
this
wretched
worlde
,
doubtlesse
in
the
other
worlde
to
come
we
shall
feele
no
paine
.
For
who
that
serueth
God
deuoutly
,
and
with
pure
conscience
,
and
that
desireth
riches
onely
to
supplie
necessitie
,
and
to
doe
good
workes
:
him
God
doth
prosper
and
guide
in
all
his
wayes
.
And
let
no
man
dispaire
though
he
be
visited
with
ill
hap
sometime
,
doing
well
notwithstanding
.
For
God
manye
times
sendeth
his
blessing
and
increase
vnwares
to
man
,
and
in
an
houre
vnlooked
for
,
which
he
neuer
thought
would
happen
.
And
heare
in
what
maner
.
I
Doe
not
like
in
such
a
case
to
say
as
the
common
people
doe
,
that
God
prouideth
liuing
for
euery
bodie
,
and
that
he
will
not
see
me
lacke
that
that
shall
be
necessarie
for
me
,
so
as
I
neede
not
to
labor
for
my
liuing
:
for
sure
it
is
but
a
foolish
phrase
and
vaine
speach
.
But
rather
I
will
conclude
,
that
euery
man
is
bound
to
labor
to
procure
his
liuing
,
&
he
may
not
make
any
such
cases
presidents
,
in
which
it
pleased
GOD
to
sende
great
riches
without
labor
,
as
in
this
.
For
these
are
only
the
secrets
of
God
,
&
we
ought
not
to
aske
the
cause
of
his
diuine
goodnesse
.
The
wise
man
therefore
must
endeuour
himselfe
to
gaine
that
he
may
,
honestly
and
vprightly
,
trusting
always
in
almightie
God
that
he
will
prosper
his
doings
and
giue
him
encrease
,
seeking
euer
to
keepe
him selfe
out
of
trouble
and
sorowe
:
and
not
to
do
as
the
Doue
,
which
breeding
hir
Pigions
about
the
house
(
making
them
familiar
with
the
same
)
albeit
they
are
monthly
taken
from
hir
and
killed
,
yet
she
leaueth
not
for
that
to
returne
to
hir
olde
nest
and
breede
yong
againe
,
though
she
know
they
shal
be
taken
from
hir
.
We
finde
it
written
,
that
God
hath
ordeined
the
end
and
terme
of
all
things
,
and
that
they
can
not
passe
.
Therefore
say
these
wise
men
,
that
he
that
worketh
respecting
the
worlde
to
come
,
lightneth
the
burthens
and
troubles
of
this
frayle
life
:
But
he
that
reposeth
his
trust
in
these
worldlye
thinges
and
is
wrapped
in
the
same
,
doth
waste
and
consume
his
yeares
.
A
man
ought
to
labour
in
these
three
things
,
bicause
he
hath
neede
of
them
,
to
wit
.
To
knowe
to
keepe
the
lawe
,
and
the
good
statutes
thereof
.
The
seconde
,
to
procure
things
necessarie
for
mans
life
.
And
the
thirde
,
that
his
woorkes
be
pure
and
cleane
with
himselfe
and
among
others
.
Then
he
must
beware
and
withdrawe
himselfe
from
foure
other
mortall
and
damnable
.
The
first
,
is
to
be
negligent
in
his
art
or
science
.
The
seconde
,
to
contemne
that
the
law
commaundeth
.
The
third
,
to
credit
all
things
lightly
.
The
fourth
,
to
denie
knowledge
.
For
he
that
will
be
reputed
wise
in
his
doings
,
must
first
consider
well
what
he
taketh
vpon
him
:
and
if
he
neede
counsell
,
let
him
aske
it
of
a
faithfull
friende
.
When
he
happeneth
to
haue
great
matters
in
hande
,
let
him
not
goe
about
them
rashly
,
but
first
way
the
importance
thereof
.
That
he
be
not
likened
to
one
which
being
out
of
his
waye
,
and
going
on
still
,
is
the
farther
of
the
place
he
would
go
to
.
And
also
compared
to
another
,
which
hath
but
a
little
hurt
in
his
eye
,
and
by
continuall
rubbing
of
it
he
maketh
it
incurable
.
A
man
must
feare
the
diuine
iustice
,
inclining
him selfe
to
that
that
is
good
,
and
doing
that
to
his
neighbour
he
woulde
haue
done
to
himselfe
,
helping
him
in
all
daungers
as
he
woulde
be
holpen
him selfe
.
And
to
conclude
this
our
worke
,
he
that
meaneth
to
vnderstande
it
,
must
order
his
life
according
to
the
lawes
and
institutions
of
vertue
:
as
showeth
these
wonderfull
and
learned
examples
,
and
sententious
authorities
.
Anastres
Castri
WHo
coulde
in
better
maner
describe
our
worldly
labour
?
truly
our
insatiable
desire
is
so
gréedie
to
haue
that
it
liketh
and
séeth
,
that
to
be
owner
of
that
we
would
,
we
put
our selues
to
all
maner
of
daungers
,
and
intollerable
paynes
of
this
world
.
To
be
briefe
:
Euery
man
(
little
or
much
)
wetteth
himselfe
in
this
raging
riuer
of
mans
life
.
He
that
wetting
his
foote
runneth
alongest
the
hancks
side
of
this
terrible
Brooke
,
is
a
man
that
is
oppressed
with
bondage
,
that
enioyeth
naught
else
in
this
world
but
miserable
lyfe
.
The
other
that
washeth
his
legge
,
liueth
by
his
labor
,
and
commeth
to
take
more
of
the
world
,
and
to
taste
the
delights
thereof
bearing
many
afflictions
.
He
that
thrustes
in
his
whole
bodie
in
this
water
,
hath
possessed
the
seignorie
&
gouernment
of
the
most
wicked
and
haplesse
state
of
this
world
.
O
vnspeakable
cruelty
,
that
once
passed
forwards
he
entreth
perforce
into
the
middest
,
and
reacheth
to
this
man
and
to
that
man
that
he
hath
,
kéeping
himself
alwaies
in
this
daungerous
state
.
But
in
the
ende
ouertaken
by
some
accident
,
as
warre
,
treason
,
poyson
,
or
mans
force
,
he
falleth
into
deathes
lappe
:
and
he
that
hath
followed
his
troublesome
life
remayneth
depriued
of
all
his
goodes
,
bicause
wanting
the
heade
,
the
rest
of
the
members
remaine
vile
,
filthie
,
and
stincking
.
Sure
this
worldly
life
representeth
no
more
but
the
little
worlde
of
our
bodie
,
which
carieth
a
wonderfull
presence
:
and
that
little
breath
of
ours
once
spent
,
it
is
then
but
a
shadowe
,
dust
,
and
smoke
.
These
worldly
fauours
and
temporall
goodes
in
the
iudgement
of
the
wise
seeme
but
as
snowe
,
which
with
the
first
beames
of
the
Sunne
dissolueth
and
commeth
to
nothing
.
Lord
,
what
cost
do
we
bestow
vpon
our
heares
and
face
,
which
when
the
Barber
clippeth
of
,
are
despised
and
throwne
away
?
A
man
should
neuer
trust
this
foolishe
life
.
It
is
but
a
fire
kindled
on
the
coles
,
which
consuming
it selfe
giueth
heate
to
others
.
The
Phisition
truly
that
cureth
the
disease
of
the
bodie
is
a
worthie
spirite
of
man
:
but
he
that
healeth
vs
of
our
sinnes
is
a
celestiall
God
.
Hée
that
can
shunne
the
water
of
this
riuer
,
which
carieth
in
his
course
,
Pride
,
vaine
glorie
,
lasciuiousnesse
,
couetousnesse
,
presumption
,
infirmitie
,
and
losse
:
may
be
called
diuine
and
not
humaine
.
Let
no
man
put
his
foote
into
the
water
of
carnall
loue
,
neyther
his
legge
into
the
false
waues
of
these
goods
,
nor
washe
his
bodie
in
the
glorie
of
this
malignant
time
,
neyther
séeke
continually
to
swimme
in
the
middest
of
these
felicities
:
for
all
passeth
awaye
to
oure
losse
and
vndoing
.
The
riche
Indian
merchaunt
,
richly
furnished
his
house
with
sundrie
sorts
of
merchaundise
with
his
great
trauell
,
expence
of
time
,
and
money
:
and
hauing
his
house
full
stored
euen
to
the
toppe
,
he
could
finde
none
that
had
so
much
readie
money
as
to
paye
him
for
it
all
at
one
time
and
to
carie
it
away
.
Then
he
saide
to
him selfe
.
If
by
little
and
little
I
should
spende
it
,
when
shall
I
euer
make
an
ende
?
Life
will
not
alwayes
last
,
neyther
can
I
liue
so
long
as
I
woulde
:
I
knowe
there
can
be
no
ende
of
our
miseries
:
and
thus
despising
all
pompe
and
riches
he
forsooke
the
deceytfull
life
with
trouble
,
and
withdrewe
him
to
a
better
,
taking
vpon
him
another
course
.
A
man
ought
to
beléeue
the
true
and
diuine
car●●…
,
and
not
mans
writing
:
not
to
trust
the
false
sayings
of
wicked
men
,
(
which
continuallye
liue
of
the
spoyle
of
their
neighbour
beguiling
them
)
but
to
his
owne
experience
.
For
who
so
easily
beléeueth
the
words
of
light
persons
,
falleth
into
a
grieuous
errour
,
to
his
owne
losse
and
hurt
,
as
ye
shall
heare
reading
that
that
followeth
.
IT
is
most
true
that
lightly
beleuing
these
worldly
thinges
,
hath
made
manye
a
man
fall
into
sundrie
daungers
,
and
hedlong
to
plunge
himselfe
into
the
déepe
miseries
of
this
worlde
.
Sometimes
men
determine
to
obey
the
lawe
.
At
another
time
they
contemne
it
and
set
it
at
naught
,
following
sensuall
appetite
.
Oft
times
they
beléeue
the
counsell
of
their
good
friend
,
but
very
often
they
follow
the
counsell
of
the
flatterer
.
To
day
we
are
pleased
with
true
doctrine
:
to
morow
we
folow
the
false
.
In
euery
wit
and
arte
there
is
abuse
:
and
who
runneth
not
to
this
riuer
?
and
the
more
they
wéene
to
gaine
,
the
more
they
runne
in
daunger
and
losse
of
life
and
soule
.
Behold
,
here
is
one
man
pricked
in
his
conscience
,
there
is
another
oppressed
with
passion
and
sorow
,
and
there
neuer
wanteth
some
that
follow
the
continuall
seruitude
of
this
deceitfull
life
,
either
for
goodes
,
fauor
,
and
estimation
,
or
else
of
their
owne
frée
willes
:
and
there
is
neuer
none
(
or
fewe
at
the
least
)
that
in
so
short
time
of
life
can
forget
this
knowne
and
manifest
daunger
.
For
death
assaulting
vs
,
we
knowe
not
whither
to
retire
,
and
then
with
all
our
might
we
flie
the
force
of
his
most
piercing
dart
:
and
thus
wéening
to
hide
our selues
in
sure
place
,
we
hedlong
runne
to
our
shame
and
vndoing
.
As
is
manifestly
séene
by
sundrie
examples
happened
like
to
this
following
.
TO
be
vnaduised
,
and
to
doe
things
rashly
which
we
ought
not
,
bringeth
many
times
death
,
hurt
,
and
shame
.
For
no
man
should
so
entangle
himselfe
in
these
worldly
toyles
,
as
he
might
not
euer
leaue
them
at
his
will
.
For
so
straunge
and
sodein
chaunces
fall
vpon
him
,
as
a
man
would
neuer
haue
imagined
,
and
therefore
he
cannot
vpon
such
a
sodeine
withstande
it
,
but
is
forced
to
yéelde
.
Wherefore
I
would
wish
no
man
to
be
so
caried
awaye
with
these
short
pleasures
and
swéete
sound
of
mans
life
,
that
they
shoulde
cast
behinde
them
the
remembraunce
of
the
right
way
to
doe
well
:
as
happened
vnto
him
that
would
mende
and
set
his
Iewelles
.
LEt
men
that
giue
themselues
to
the
pleasures
of
this
vnhappie
life
be
warned
by
the
example
of
this
merchaunt
,
to
leaue
aside
the
swéete
deceits
of
the
bodie
,
and
to
attende
onely
to
the
precious
stone
of
our
soule
,
pullishing
and
kéeping
that
cleane
.
Lorde
howe
many
are
there
,
that
leauing
profit
follow
losse
,
and
all
for
a
fayned
showe
,
or
worldlye
shadowe
.
The
Greyhounde
that
hath
pinched
the
Hare
and
taken
hir
in
hys
mouth
,
cannot
runne
after
another
he
séeth
go
before
him
and
take
hir
also
:
for
so
the
one
may
scape
from
him
quite
,
and
the
other
easily
vanish
out
of
his
sight
.
O
miserable
worlde
,
naye
rather
most
miserable
and
wretched
our
mindes
and
willes
:
that
plainly
seeing
our
hurt
and
miserie
,
we
still
hedlong
pursue
and
follow
the
same
.
What
is
he
liuing
so
ignoraunt
,
that
knoweth
not
our
life
passeth
quicklyer
awaye
than
the
lightening
that
commeth
before
the
thunder
clap
,
and
in
the
darke
clowdes
giueth
most
short
light
:
and
that
our
sight
(
the
lightening
past
)
comming
into
the
darke
is
blinded
more
?
the
man
truly
that
is
tost
in
this
worldlye
broyle
,
and
entered
into
the
sea
of
miseries
:
that
that
sensuall
appetite
and
short
desire
sheweth
him
,
séemeth
light
vnto
him
,
but
in
a
moment
(
wretched
creature
he
)
he
findeth
himselfe
in
darkenesse
.
What
part
haue
we
of
any
good
thing
in
this
short
course
of
life
?
where
is
our
good
beginning
?
where
the
excellent
middest
?
or
where
the
perfite
ende
?
in
that
day
(
O
miserable
man
)
that
thou
art
begotten
in
thy
wothers
wombe
,
in
the
selfe
same
daye
death
imbraceth
thée
to
ouerthrow
thée
at
his
will
.
Our
first
originall
is
begun
in
darknesse
and
corruption
,
the
first
passage
that
putteth
vs
forth
to
the
light
of
this
world
,
bringeth
vs
sorow
and
lamentation
.
We
are
borne
naked
,
subiect
to
diseases
,
vncleane
,
&
haue
néede
of
all
things
,
and
of
euery
bodies
helpe
.
Afterwards
vnlesse
we
would
séeme
Images
of
stone
or
timber
without
vnderstandinge
,
wée
must
be
taught
,
ruled
,
and
instructed
:
which
bringeth
vs
diseases
,
troubles
,
paynes
,
sorrowes
,
and
griefes
.
And
in
this
while
how
many
necessities
doe
assault
vs
?
how
many
businesses
doe
oppresse
vs
?
the
elements
offende
vs
with
heate
,
colde
,
and
barrennesse
.
Diseases
neuer
forsake
our
bodies
,
and
the
troubles
of
this
world
neuer
letteth
vs
rest
an
houre
.
To
be
alone
it
grieueth
vs
:
to
be
accompanied
it
troubleth
vs
:
to
liue
long
it
werieth
vs
:
to
haue
little
misliketh
vs
:
and
sufficient
contenteth
vs
not
.
The
thought
of
death
on
the
one
side
assaulteth
our
life
:
and
on
the
other
,
the
passions
of
the
minde
to
forsake
our
goodes
,
friends
,
wife
,
children
,
and
the
worlde
,
doe
still
pricke
vs
.
O
what
troubles
and
afflictions
,
what
terrors
and
passions
abideth
this
our
confused
bodie
:
which
the
most
part
of
our
time
is
replete
with
anger
,
rancor
,
and
malice
,
but
often
voyde
(
rather
euer
)
of
iustice
,
mercie
,
and
pittie
.
And
lastly
,
what
doth
one
man
for
another
?
He
causeth
that
by
force
the
good
is
troden
downe
with
the
euill
.
The
foole
taketh
away
the
reputation
of
the
wise
:
the
lyer
plucketh
out
of
his
seate
him
that
alwayes
telleth
troth
:
the
noble
Gentleman
well
brought
vp
,
is
ruled
by
the
vndiscrete
and
rude
Cloyne
.
What
more
?
vertue
alacke
dieth
,
but
ignoraunce
liueth
.
Wherefore
our
state
is
in
more
daungers
and
troubles
than
his
,
that
flying
the
fiercenesse
of
fower
Lions
to
saue
him selfe
,
leapt
into
a
Well
with
greater
daunger
.
As
writeth
the
great
Philosopher
WHat
is
signified
hereby
,
or
who
can
otherwise
interprete
it
but
thus
.
The
Well
representeth
the
world
.
The
foure
Lions
the
foure
elements
,
which
séeke
still
to
deuour
man
.
The
Dragon
with
gaping
mouth
,
what
was
it
else
but
the
graue
?
The
twoo
twigges
or
boughes
,
temporall
goodes
and
loue
to
which
we
are
wholy
inclined
:
both
which
by
the
two
beastes
are
gnawen
a
sunder
,
the
one
white
,
and
the
other
blacke
,
which
are
vnderstanded
for
the
day
and
night
.
But
the
pot
with
that
little
swéete
honie
,
to
which
we
are
giuen
,
not
regarding
our
daunger
,
betokeneth
no
other
but
the
short
pleasure
of
this
worlde
,
which
retayneth
vs
,
and
suffereth
vs
not
to
knowe
the
daungers
and
troubles
of
this
most
miserable
world
,
and
of
our
thrall
and
troubled
lyfe
.
,
in
those
worthy
and
iust
times
adorned
with
vertue
and
wisedome
,
euery
one
of
those
royall
Princes
(
as
Lordes
of
noble
maners
and
behauiour
)
retayned
with
them
in
their
princely
Courtes
men
no
lesse
learned
than
vertuous
.
Among
which
a
king
there
was
(
called
in
their
tongue
)
,
who
desired
much
to
reade
hystories
,
and
to
imprint
in
memorie
the
goodly
and
profitable
examples
to
direct
him
and
his
withall
.
O
noble
time
and
happie
yeares
:
in
his
reigne
I
saye
liued
in
this
Court
this
noble
Philosopher
,
so
excellent
in
his
comparisons
and
examples
,
as
no
man
that
went
before
or
after
him
coulde
once
go
euen
with
him
,
much
lesse
excéede
him
.
This
worthy
Prince
rapt
with
the
excellencie
of
this
rare
(
yea
odde
)
man
,
most
willingly
spent
some
time
in
discoursing
with
him
:
and
this
wonderfull
Philosopher
also
with
déepe
and
profounde
sentences
shewed
his
worthinesse
.
But
amonge
all
the
best
thinges
hée
spake
,
hée
alwayes
admonished
the
Prince
to
haue
a
good
eie
to
his
Court
,
and
a
sounde
iudgement
to
iudge
hys
people
:
and
chiefly
that
hée
shoulde
not
loue
,
fauour
,
nor
estéeme
for
friendes
(
endeuoring
himselfe
all
he
coulde
to
knowe
them
)
double
tongued
men
,
lyers
,
tale
bearers
,
and
vitious
liuers
.
And
to
the
ende
his
Maiestie
shoulde
soone
féele
such
Mates
as
it
were
at
hys
fingers
endes
,
he
made
him
a
longe
discourse
of
their
maners
and
practises
,
with
these
examples
which
you
shall
heare
,
woonderfull
and
learned
.
IT
hath
bene
an
olde
and
true
opinion
,
that
for
the
seruant
to
search
his
maisters
doings
it
is
both
naught
and
vncomly
too
:
but
to
desire
to
know
the
Princes
causes
or
affaires
,
is
of
all
other
yet
most
daungerous
.
And
naturally
who
so
is
giuen
to
be
a
searcher
out
of
other
mens
doings
,
he
can
neuer
be
reckened
good
nor
honest
.
Now
giue
eare
vnto
the
tale
.
IT
is
not
good
therefore
I
tell
you
plaine
for
you
to
deale
in
Princes
matters
,
to
searche
out
their
meanings
&
intents
.
If
néedes
yée
will
,
marke
well
my
wordes
,
and
saye
I
tolde
it
you
.
Vpon
my
lyfe
yée
both
in
the
ende
shall
feele
the
smart
and
payne
thereof
.
The
Asse
perswaded
by
his
Mothers
wordes
left
off
his
enterprise
:
but
the
prowde
Moyle
sayde
,
I
intende
to
know
them
,
and
therfore
I
will
get
mée
to
the
Court
.
And
I
will
you
knowe
deare
Mother
,
that
manuell
craft
is
one
exercise
,
and
to
knowe
to
behaue
themselues
in
Court
is
an
other
Arte.
Thy
wordes
in
part
are
good
,
to
cause
them
refrayne
from
doing
things
they
can
not
bring
to
passe
.
But
to
me
that
must
remaine
in
Princes
Court
,
I
maye
not
go
so
plainlye
and
simply
to
woorke
,
but
must
vse
euery
one
with
Arte
,
féeding
still
their
humor
:
to
deale
in
others
matters
with
deceyt
,
and
in
mine
owne
to
haue
a
subtill
witte
,
deuising
still
all
I
may
to
be
chiefe
about
the
Prince
.
And
that
that
now
I
haue
tolde
you
,
I
haue
long
since
determined
to
doe
.
In
Princes
Courts
he
that
procéedeth
not
stowtely
in
his
matters
,
besides
that
he
is
thought
a
Coward
,
they
take
him
for
a
foole
.
What
?
knowe
not
you
that
fortune
fauoureth
still
the
prowde
and
stowte
?
thinke
ye
my
stowtenesse
will
not
fauour
me
,
accompanied
with
the
malice
of
vnderstandinge
,
and
with
the
pride
of
reputing
my selfe
of
noble
bloud
,
which
preheminences
obtaine
happie
state
in
Court
?
And
he
that
hath
the
name
to
bée
wise
,
subtile
,
sharpe
of
wit
,
and
with
that
to
be
of
noble
house
:
hath
made
him
already
a
Cloke
for
sinne
,
and
a
garment
for
his
naughtinesse
.
That
that
I
haue
sayde
I
speake
with
iudgement
,
and
for
proofe
therof
I
can
alledge
you
infinit
examples
.
The
Pecocke
though
his
faire
tayle
couer
his
fowle
féete
,
yet
it
is
not
saide
that
he
scrapeth
in
dunghill
at
all
,
but
he
is
reputed
the
fairest
Fowle
of
two
féete
.
The
fleshe
of
the
Torteise
that
is
so
good
and
holesome
for
man
is
not
readily
solde
,
but
rather
lotheth
many
bicause
of
his
vglye
sight
.
If
I
doe
but
looke
well
into
Princes
Courtes
,
none
go
great
thither
,
and
those
that
come
to
greatnesse
clime
by
diuers
degrées
.
Who
for
vertue
,
another
for
strength
,
and
some
(
be
it
spoken
with
reuerence
of
those
beastes
that
haue
vnderstandinge
)
for
malice
:
others
by
continuall
seruice
,
and
numbers
by
other
meanes
.
He
that
riseth
thus
in
greatnesse
,
and
is
noble
and
vertuous
,
it
séemeth
he
goth
into
his
proper
naturall
house
:
but
he
that
commeth
to
that
greatnesse
with
malice
,
and
fayned
appearance
,
he
may
make
iust
account
I
say
that
they
are
but
lent
him
.
Yea
marie
nowe
thou
commest
to
vnderstande
me
,
therefore
and
thou
be
wise
goe
not
to
the
Court
how
soeuer
thou
doest
.
For
if
Fortune
should
make
thée
great
,
whether
it
were
by
Arte
,
subtiltie
,
or
deceit
:
the
Lordes
and
Péeres
that
are
fine
and
cunning
,
and
know
all
the
points
of
malice
,
would
doe
to
thée
,
as
a
Iudge
of
the
beasts
did
to
the
Woolfe
.
And
hearken
howe
.
BRother
Moyle
our
Mother
hath
reason
,
and
sure
she
telleth
thée
true
.
Thou
promisest
largely
to
thy selfe
.
Thou
séekest
when
thou
art
caught
not
to
lose
thy selfe
,
but
to
catch
others
,
with
no
profit
to
thée
but
hurt
to
others
:
and
this
is
not
thy
waye
to
deale
.
Therfore
I
my selfe
perswade
thée
now
to
tarie
,
and
bidde
thée
not
to
go
.
She
sayth
true
answereth
the
Moyle
.
But
shall
I
tell
thée
brother
Asse
?
A
simpler
beast
in
the
world
than
thou
,
liueth
not
.
Thou
procéedest
simply
like
a
good
goose
.
Thou
carest
for
no
more
so
thou
haue
thrée
or
fower
Thistels
to
gnaw
vpon
,
and
a
little
water
to
drinke
serueth
thy
turne
.
I
pray
thée
tell
me
:
are
there
not
in
the
kings
Court
many
meaner
in
all
conditions
than
I
?
if
Fortune
haue
fauoured
them
,
why
the
goodyere
should
she
not
also
fauour
mée
?
if
I
had
not
many
times
seene
(
sayd
the
Asse
)
a
little
Asse
eate
a
great
bundell
of
straw
,
I
would
yéelde
to
thée
,
and
confirme
thy
opinion
.
But
wotest
thou
what
?
a
little
Axe
ouerthroweth
a
great
Oke
.
The
arrowes
for
the
most
part
touch
the
heigthes
,
and
he
that
clymeth
vp
to
the
tops
of
trees
,
falling
hath
the
greater
broose
.
But
I
sée
deare
brother
Moyle
thou
shakest
thy
heade
at
me
,
and
that
thou
little
forcest
my
wordes
:
and
sure
I
were
a
great
and
monsterous
beast
to
perswade
my selfe
to
obtayne
that
,
which
our
Mother
coulde
neuer
reache
vnto
.
But
sith
it
booteth
not
to
perswade
thée
,
and
that
thou
art
selfe
willed
and
bent
to
goe
to
the
Court
,
(
compelled
thereto
by
a
naturall
instinct
,
which
for
the
more
part
driueth
euerie
one
headlonge
forwarde
,
and
that
thou
canst
not
shunne
it
)
I
will
yet
shewe
thée
what
fauour
and
helpe
I
can
:
but
by
the
waye
take
this
for
a
lesson
.
(
one
of
our
corporation
)
was
a
certaine
beast
that
if
thou
hadst
knowne
him
,
thou
wouldest
rather
haue
taken
him
for
a
slouenly
beast
than
a
man
.
He
brought
vp
a
Soowe
and
made
so
much
of
hir
that
he
himself
fedde
hir
with
one
hande
,
and
with
the
other
he
clawed
hir
.
And
when
this
Soowe
had
oftentimes
brought
him
Pigges
,
and
that
good
store
at
a
farrowe
,
he
styed
hir
vp
and
fatted
hir
,
and
when
she
was
fat
,
(
forgetting
the
loue
he
bare
hir
)
he
sticked
hir
,
and
in
time
eate
hir
.
There
are
such
like
Maisters
that
clawe
thee
with
one
hande
,
that
is
,
they
giue
thée
faire
wordes
:
with
the
other
they
féede
thée
,
to
wéete
,
they
giue
thée
draffe
.
And
when
thou
hast
serued
them
(
which
is
vnderstanded
by
the
bringing
foorth
of
Pigges
)
a
time
,
and
spent
thy
youth
:
and
if
Fortune
be
thy
friende
,
then
they
giue
thée
,
and
make
thee
riche
.
If
thou
die
before
thy
good
happe
,
farewell
thou
,
so
much
is
saued
.
If
thou
liue
long
,
and
art
growne
fatte
,
some
blast
of
displeasure
may
call
thée
to
So
art
thou
chopt
vp
,
the
lawe
procéedeth
on
thée
,
and
shortly
all
the
fatte
and
grease
thou
hast
gotten
before
melteth
into
the
Princes
Cofers
.
Howbeit
,
I
may
tell
it
to
thée
(
be
it
spoken
without
offence
of
beastes
of
vnderstanding
)
there
is
good
prouision
made
to
the
contrarie
now
adayes
.
For
what
so
euer
becometh
of
themselues
they
make
all
sure
that
they
can
:
let
the
carkas
go
where
it
will
,
the
fatte
and
grease
they
haue
gathered
is
betimes
disposed
to
others
for
feare
of
that
they
looked
for
.
And
thus
all
thinges
are
preuented
by
polycie
.
I
say
no
more
.
This
is
the
worlde
,
and
so
it
goeth
.
Kéepe
this
in
minde
and
harcken
further
.
THe
Moyle
being
weried
with
the
cumbersome
wordes
of
the
Asse
his
Brother
,
cutting
off
his
talke
,
as
one
whose
iudgement
with
ambition
was
corrupted
,
he
tooke
his
héeles
,
&
on
his
waye
to
the
Court
he
flingeth
to
this
Princely
King
and
Lion.
And
being
come
into
his
Maiesties
presence
,
obseruing
all
maner
of
duties
and
reuerences
pertinent
to
so
royall
a
throne
(
as
his
subtill
and
craftie
Moileship
knew
well
ynough
to
doe
)
euen
forthwith
hée
crept
into
his
bosome
,
and
got
into
his
fauor
,
saying
thus
.
The
fame
of
your
Royall
Maiestie
which
runneth
through
the
world
,
hath
made
mée
not
onely
to
come
to
humble
my selfe
,
and
to
doe
my
dutie
,
but
also
to
offer
your
highnesse
my
seruice
:
putting
him
in
remembraunce
also
that
many
yeares
agoe
(
in
their
first
yong
florishing
age
,
)
the
Asse
his
brother
and
he
were
verie
familier
with
his
Maiestie
:
and
in
maner
all
one
with
him
.
And
shewing
him
that
he
was
able
to
doe
his
Maiestie
seruice
in
many
things
,
he
kissed
his
féete
,
and
offered
him
armour
and
horses
to
serue
his
Maiestie
and
the
Realme
:
adding
thereto
,
that
it
woulde
please
his
highnesse
to
accept
his
poore
offer
:
saying
,
that
a
little
toothpike
doth
seruice
to
the
greatest
Prince
,
which
he
alwaies
occupieth
in
his
mouth
,
being
reckened
one
of
the
chiefest
places
a
man
hath
.
A
Turkie
Cock
(
one
of
the
fairest
,
of
the
braggest
,
&
also
the
stateliest
in
all
our
quarters
)
was
taken
prisoner
in
the
battell
of
the
Pigmées
,
and
was
solde
to
the
King
of
Phesants
with
condicion
to
be
raunsomed
.
Who
séeing
so
fantasticall
a
beast
with
so
great
barbs
,
which
somtime
were
a
pale
blew
,
somtime
a
skie
colour
,
now
chaunged
from
that
to
white
,
and
then
to
black
againe
,
he
wondered
to
sée
those
sodeine
chaunges
:
and
more
,
beholding
his
swelling
and
raising
vp
his
fethers
,
putting
forth
that
horne
of
fleshe
,
he
sayde
he
neuer
saw
before
so
goodly
a
woonder
.
And
talking
a
little
with
him
,
hée
founde
him
of
a
bigge
voyce
,
of
fewe
wordes
,
but
resolute
,
so
as
hée
made
much
of
him
.
And
wote
ye
what
?
thither
came
a
number
of
beastes
of
his
countrie
(
vnderstanding
of
his
captiuitie
)
to
raunsome
him
.
But
he
being
high
minded
,
and
reputing
himselfe
the
chiefe
Birde
of
the
dunghill
(
as
true
he
was
)
would
neuer
say
he
was
a
prisoner
,
but
that
he
was
amongst
the
Phesants
for
his
pleasure
,
and
thus
despised
their
fauor
and
the
helpe
of
them
all
.
On
a
time
there
came
a
friend
of
his
to
him
,
and
secretly
offered
to
giue
him
(
that
no
man
should
know
it
)
so
much
golde
as
should
redéeme
him
out
of
prison
.
But
he
refused
it
,
and
woulde
none
of
it
,
bicause
he
would
not
séeme
to
be
a
prisoner
.
In
the
ende
(
necessitie
enforcinge
him
,
and
remembring
his
case
)
hée
was
contented
to
be
counselled
by
that
faithfull
and
louing
friende
of
his
,
and
closely
tooke
the
money
(
that
in
fine
doth
all
)
and
payde
it
,
and
so
departed
.
For
if
he
had
continued
in
that
foolish
reputation
of
him selfe
still
,
and
had
dwelled
in
his
obstinacie
,
he
had
perhaps
dearely
bought
the
price
of
his
follye
.
It
may
peraduenture
séeme
to
your
Maiestie
that
I
passe
the
boundes
of
modestie
,
if
I
shoulde
open
to
your
highnesse
my
meaning
hereby
.
I
come
as
your
Maiesties
humble
and
faithfull
seruant
,
and
true
friend
,
to
tell
your
Maiestie
that
I
am
sorie
to
sée
you
go
no
more
abrode
a
hunting
,
a
walking
,
and
sporting
your selfe
at
your
pleasure
as
you
were
woont
,
but
that
you
kéepe
your
Pallace
stil
with
malancholie
,
which
was
not
your
woont
I
knowe
.
Well
,
I
stande
nowe
before
your
highnesse
readie
to
spende
my
life
and
goods
in
your
seruice
and
quarell
:
and
if
I
might
knowe
your
griefe
,
I
make
no
doubt
at
all
but
I
woulde
labour
so
,
that
your
Maiestie
should
be
satisfyed
,
and
lyke
of
my
seruice
.
If
you
be
troubled
for
any
matter
concerning
the
state
,
or
any
other
thing
of
importaunce
:
your
highnesse
muste
impart
it
with
a
fewe
of
your
faythfull
seruants
,
and
such
as
you
trust
best
.
And
although
they
be
of
the
meaner
sort
,
yet
they
maye
serue
your
Maiestie
with
hartie
looue
and
good
will
,
and
doe
their
best
indeuour
.
I
haue
presumed
vnder
your
Maiesties
good
licence
to
saye
thus
much
,
bicause
I
recken
my selfe
to
be
one
of
the
faythfullest
seruaunts
your
Maiestie
hath
euer
had
,
or
now
retayneth
.
MIghtie
Prince
,
if
no
other
noueltie
or
occasion
haue
caused
you
to
refrayne
your
pleasures
but
this
voice
which
I
haue
heard
,
me
thinketh
it
is
but
small
and
not
to
be
accounted
off
.
Your
noble
courage
should
not
be
afraide
of
any
thing
before
you
know
it
,
and
what
it
is
,
and
whether
it
be
to
be
feared
or
not
:
as
I
will
let
your
Maiestie
knowe
by
this
tale
I
will
tell
you
seruing
for
the
purpose
.
THis
worshipfull
Moyle
was
scant
out
of
sight
,
but
the
Lyon
beganne
to
haue
Hammers
in
his
head
,
and
to
imagine
a
thousande
straunge
deuises
,
and
grewe
in
Choler
with
him selfe
,
suspecting
and
fearing
both
at
one
time
:
and
sayd
.
Well
,
what
and
he
double
with
me
?
yea
,
and
how
&
if
he
beguile
me
with
his
cloked
colour
to
doe
me
good
?
sure
his
soothing
words
doe
not
like
me
,
mée
thinketh
he
is
to
full
of
them
.
May
not
hée
tell
him
with
the
terrible
voyce
,
that
I
am
afrayde
of
him
?
and
out
of
doubt
for
as
much
as
I
can
imagine
,
he
cannot
but
be
a
beast
of
a
marueylous
strength
:
and
adding
thereto
the
others
treason
,
it
is
another
maner
of
thing
than
to
be
but
afrayde
only
.
For
betwéene
them
both
they
may
vtterly
vndoe
mee
.
Many
other
mishappes
fall
out
in
this
bucke
,
that
if
I
had
not
this
thought
(
féeling
my
feare
)
might
happen
.
And
peraduenture
too
this
beast
is
enimy
to
the
Moyle
,
and
wil
set
him
vpon
me
,
to
th
ende
that
I
shoulde
reuenge
some
iniurie
done
him
:
and
if
he
be
as
vnhappie
as
he
seemeth
for
,
out
of
doubt
hée
will
not
fayle
to
put
a
flea
into
his
eare
.
Sure
I
shall
be
driuen
to
flie
and
haue
the
woorste
.
O
wretch
that
I
am
,
what
haue
I
done
?
alacke
I
see
I
haue
done
amisse
,
I
haue
taken
a
wrong
Soowe
by
the
eare
,
and
so
going
in
the
darcke
I
must
néedes
fall
.
And
thus
the
Lion
out
of
one
doubt
leapt
into
two
or
thrée
more
,
and
stoode
betwixt
life
and
death
,
with
no
lesse
hope
than
great
feare
.
Hée
went
vp
and
downe
his
Pallace
like
one
halfe
lunatike
,
fretting
and
chafing
,
now
aboue
,
then
beneath
,
still
looking
for
the
Moyles
comming
,
which
had
broken
his
appointed
houre
with
the
Kinge
:
yet
at
length
looking
out
at
a
windowe
(
which
opened
to
the
playne
fieldes
)
he
espied
the
beast
comming
with
a
wondrous
ioy
.
His
Moyleship
brauely
yerked
out
with
both
legges
,
and
lyuely
shooke
his
eares
and
head
.
He
brayed
and
stong
as
he
had
bene
madde
.
The
Lyon
as
though
he
had
not
bene
grieued
at
all
,
returned
againe
into
his
place
,
and
looked
for
the
Moyle
.
Who
arriued
,
was
receyued
ioyfullye
,
and
with
good
countenance
of
the
whole
Court
.
The
King
after
these
graue
solemnities
and
ceremonies
done
,
retired
into
his
withdrawing
Chamber
with
the
Moyle
:
and
vnderstanding
by
him
that
this
beast
the
Bull
was
faire
,
gentle
,
and
pleasant
withall
(
and
that
for
no
respect
he
should
once
séeme
to
suspect
any
thing
in
him
,
but
if
it
had
bene
his
Maiesties
pleasure
he
would
rat●●r
haue
brought
him
to
his
presence
to
haue
done
his
dutie
to
him
)
hée
reioyced
much
,
and
for
very
loue
and
kindnesse
imbraced
and
kissed
him
an
houre
long
togither
.
And
hearing
by
him
that
this
Bul
was
wise
,
and
of
good
capacitie
,
and
able
well
to
execute
:
hée
sent
him
backe
againe
with
charge
to
bring
him
to
the
Court
,
at
least
to
vse
all
meanes
and
perswasions
he
coulde
possible
to
bring
him
thither
.
The
Moyle
putting
on
a
newe
paire
of
shooes
to
doe
the
Prince
seruice
,
galloped
as
he
had
flowne
,
and
straight
he
was
with
the
Bull
,
whom
he
founde
lyinge
in
the
shadow
,
chewing
of
his
cudde
:
and
the
Moyle
lying
downe
by
him
began
to
talke
in
this
maner
.
THis
Moile
also
that
liued
in
Court
in
seruice
of
the
Prince
,
more
than
a
fewe
good
woordes
,
courteous
entertainement
,
and
familier
accesse
he
had
to
the
King
,
hée
coulde
neuer
get
landes
nor
possessions
:
howbeit
he
obteined
many
pretie
suites
of
the
King
,
nowe
for
one
man
,
than
for
another
.
Further
,
hée
was
so
bolde
and
familier
with
him
that
hée
woulde
not
sticke
to
giue
him
worde
for
worde
,
nor
forbeare
him
an
inche
.
And
passed
many
things
by
the
Bulles
meanes
,
which
his
mightie
Bulship
gaue
him
gratis
,
for
that
he
was
as
a
sworne
brother
to
his
Moileship
.
In
the
ende
this
Moyle
growen
thus
great
began
to
looke
hie
,
&
prouinder
pricked
him
so
,
that
like
a
beast
(
forgetting
him selfe
)
he
must
néedes
take
vpon
him
to
reproue
his
Maiestie
of
parcialitie
,
and
ignoraunce
:
and
hauing
no
bodie
that
he
might
trust
to
breake
withall
,
he
was
ready
to
burst
for
anger
.
Wherefore
he
was
forced
to
goe
séeke
oute
the
Asse
his
brother
,
and
to
make
him
priuie
to
the
matter
,
knowing
he
had
none
so
sure
a
friend
to
him
whom
he
might
trust
but
he
.
When
they
met
,
he
beganne
to
tell
him
at
large
his
whole
griefe
and
trouble
,
complayning
of
the
ingratitude
of
the
King
all
at
once
,
that
he
had
so
long
followed
his
tayle
,
and
had
neuer
any
thing
of
him
woorth
his
trauell
:
and
if
I
had
done
no
more
but
brought
him
out
of
the
feare
he
was
in
,
and
to
bring
the
Bull
to
his
presence
.
And
here
hée
poured
out
to
the
Asse
a
worlde
of
wordes
,
sayings
,
and
déedes
.
The
Asse
that
hearde
him
all
this
while
,
began
now
to
speake
.
I
tolde
thée
ynough
that
thou
wouldest
be
to
busye
in
matters
:
in
faith
brother
thy
braine
swimmeth
nowe
.
Thou
must
not
be
so
fonde
to
take
all
flyes
that
flye
in
the
Court
:
Thou
shouldest
haue
considered
this
in
the
beginning
brother
mine
,
(
but
thou
wouldest
not
be
ruled
.
)
And
haue
perswaded
thy selfe
that
this
shoulde
happen
to
thée
,
and
woorse
.
Thou
wert
a
verie
beast
,
a
beast
thou
hast
shewed
thy selfe
,
and
a
beast
thou
wilt
continue
still
,
but
it
skilleth
no
matter
,
as
thou
hast
brewed
so
bake
,
and
there
an
ende
.
If
thou
wilt
not
be
called
by
the
Kinge
to
deale
in
his
matters
,
why
doest
thou
(
foole
)
put
thy
hande
in
the
fire
,
and
meddleth
with
that
thou
hast
naught
to
doe
?
Thou
that
mightest
haue
liued
quietly
at
home
&
at
ease
:
what
the
goodyere
aylest
thou
to
clyme
to
the
toppes
of
trées
?
Sée
nowe
what
thou
hast
done
,
and
whereto
thou
hast
brought
thy selfe
:
quite
out
of
fauor
with
the
Prince
.
Neuer
sharpe
thy
knyfe
if
thou
wilt
not
haue
it
cut
thy
hande
when
thou
occupyest
it
.
What
knowest
thou
whether
the
Bull
lay
this
heauy
burthen
on
thée
,
knowing
now
thy
double
dealing
with
him
in
his
comming
to
the
king
?
Well
,
doe
as
thou
wilt
,
if
thou
carie
a
Snake
in
thy
bosome
,
what
can
I
doe
withall
?
Mée
thinketh
this
thy
mishap
is
much
like
to
that
that
happened
to
the
holye
man
in
the
other
mountaine
by
a
théefe
of
that
countrie
:
and
bicause
I
would
haue
thée
knowe
it
to
serue
thy
turne
another
time
,
thou
mayst
heare
it
.
O
I
perceyue
your
meaning
well
ynough
(
good
brother
Asse
)
and
I
know
I
take
yee
right
.
If
this
holye
man
had
serued
God
and
not
cast
his
whole
minde
on
this
worldlye
pelfe
,
he
had
not
had
that
losse
he
hath
,
nor
bene
troubled
as
he
is
.
If
this
carren
Bawde
had
bene
at
home
at
hir
house
still
,
she
had
kept
hir
nose
on
hir
face
.
And
that
other
Bawde
to
,
if
shée
had
not
minded
to
haue
killed
the
Cock
of
hir
yong
Henne
,
she
also
had
not
died
.
Lastly
,
the
théefe
had
not
suffered
death
,
if
he
had
let
the
olde
mans
goodes
alone
:
and
my selfe
(
to
say
truly
)
should
not
suffer
nowe
such
griefe
,
if
I
had
but
onely
followed
mine
owne
businesse
.
I
graunt
,
that
if
I
were
as
I
was
at
the
first
,
I
would
not
once
stirre
a
foote
to
meddle
in
anye
bodies
matters
but
mine
owne
.
But
well
well
,
what
remedie
now
?
since
I
am
in
for
a
Birde
,
and
cannot
get
out
,
and
being
ready
to
burst
for
spight
I
beare
the
Bull
that
he
is
thus
made
off
,
and
set
vp
:
by
the
Masse
I
will
ende
it
one
waye
or
other
,
by
hooke
or
crooke
,
or
it
shall
cost
me
the
setting
on
,
runne
dogge
runne
deuill
.
Sure
as
a
Clubbe
I
will
rayse
some
slaunder
of
him
,
to
ease
my
hart
burning
withall
,
and
to
bring
him
if
I
may
out
of
credite
.
And
this
Cockle
that
I
will
sow
may
perhaps
be
profitable
for
the
King
.
For
many
times
we
sée
that
men
raised
to
high
degrée
,
commonly
practise
thinges
hurtfull
to
the
Prince
and
state●
:
or
else
that
the
subiectes
otherwhile
gouerned
by
him
they
mislike
,
doe
streight
rebell
against
the
Prince
.
If
I
set
in
foote
,
I
tell
thée
it
were
well
done
of
mée
,
that
the
Kinge
might
not
in
time
receyue
as
much
hurt
of
the
Bull
,
as
the
Bull
hath
receyued
goodnesse
of
him
.
The
Asse
lift
vp
his
head
,
and
girned
at
his
brother
to
sée
his
stubbornesse
:
and
sayde
vnto
him
.
O
brother
mine
,
I
am
sorie
for
thée
.
I
sée
thou
art
in
health
,
and
yet
thou
takest
Phisicke
to
bring
thée
into
an
Ague
:
for
vnder
the
colour
of
letting
fall
thine
eares
in
token
of
humilitie
,
thou
wilt
fling
out
apace
.
Better
sit
still
than
rise
and
fall
.
Put
vppon
thée
honestie
and
vpright
dealing
,
let
them
bée
euer
thy
best
friendes
and
countenance
:
and
lift
not
vp
thy
hart
so
much
with
passion
,
least
it
happen
to
thée
(
not
thincking
of
it
)
as
it
did
to
him
that
shooting
at
rouers
vp
and
downe
in
the
woodes
(
supposing
no
bodie
to
be
there
)
was
shotte
at
againe
with
his
owne
shaft
,
and
so
hit
in
the
brest
died
straight
.
Thou
playest
séest
me
séest
me
not
,
and
perswadest
thy selfe
that
none
will
spie
thy
wicked
practises
,
when
in
déede
thou
shalt
be
payde
home
and
neuer
knowe
who
hurt
thée
.
But
I
wonder
how
thou
darest
once
take
vppon
thée
to
offend
such
a
mightie
beast
.
He
is
wise
,
of
great
strength
,
and
hath
great
credit
,
besides
that
he
is
in
fauor
,
and
doth
what
he
list
:
and
what
he
doth
,
the
King
doth
.
O
maister
Asse
sayde
the
Moyle
,
howe
like
a
foole
thou
speakest
.
Thou
knowest
nothing
if
thou
beléeue
that
the
greatest
persons
onely
can
reuenge
and
none
others
.
Séest
thou
not
that
sometime
the
simple
and
ignorant
doe
not
regarde
nor
estéeme
the
good
and
vertuous
:
and
many
times
doe
them
shrewde
turnes
and
displeasures
?
The
Commons
robbe
the
Gentlemen
.
But
what
more
?
the
little
sometime
eateth
vp
the
great
:
and
the
Coward
killeth
the
valiant
.
And
bicause
I
haue
hearde
thée
a
while
,
and
hast
alledged
many
fables
and
examples
:
thou
shalt
now
listen
to
mine
another
while
,
and
so
wée
will
consult
what
is
to
be
done
.
Iesu
thou
makest
this
Bull
wonderfull
great
,
and
mée
but
a
poore
beast
and
of
no
account
,
but
I
pray
thée
yet
heare
me
,
being
poore
and
little
as
I
am
.
FIrst
of
felowship
heare
mée
but
foure
wordes
by
the
waye
,
and
then
say
on
.
That
that
must
be
shall
be
.
The
Bull
was
euen
predestined
great
,
thou
a
Moyle
,
and
I
an
Asse
.
He
that
is
ordeyned
to
be
a
King
,
thoughe
hée
be
a
Plowe
man
,
I
beleue
sure
he
shall
be
King
,
and
that
heauen
doth
direct
all
things
aright
and
not
otherwise
.
The
examples
are
verie
good
,
but
yet
how
things
will
fall
out
the
ende
will
trie
it
.
Now
on
a
Gods
name
,
say
what
thou
wilt
.
THe
Foxe
telling
his
tale
,
came
to
giue
this
counsell
to
the
Rauen
,
that
he
should
goe
into
some
neighbours
house
and
steale
a
Ring
,
but
steale
it
so
that
he
might
be
séene
take
it
,
hopping
from
place
to
place
,
snatching
here
and
there
till
he
came
into
the
Serpents
hole
.
For
by
this
meanes
being
espied
with
the
maner
,
euery
bodye
woulde
runne
after
him
,
and
then
he
should
let
it
fall
into
the
Snakes
hole
.
They
to
get
the
Ringe
againe
would
digge
into
it
,
and
séeing
the
Serpent
,
they
should
by
this
meanes
come
to
kill
hir
.
The
Rauen
lyked
the
Foxes
opinion
,
and
robbed
from
one
a
Iewell
of
good
value
,
and
caried
it
thither
,
whither
all
the
yonge
people
ranne
after
him
,
and
digging
the
hole
,
the
Serpent
came
out
amongest
them
,
and
they
slue
hir
.
And
thus
with
one
little
reuenge
he
quited
many
iniuries
done
him
.
The
Asse
that
knewe
his
subtill
practises
well
ynough
,
aunswered
.
And
so
am
I
of
thy
opinion
,
specially
if
one
deale
with
a
foole
,
or
with
one
that
will
put
a
viser
on
his
face
,
and
that
imagineth
none
can
make
it
so
fast
and
fit
as
himselfe
,
and
that
trusteth
altogither
to
his
money
,
estéeming
no
bodie
,
and
liues
sitting
in
his
chaire
without
any
care
.
The
Bull
doth
not
so
,
for
I
haue
alwayes
knowne
him
in
his
affaires
no
lesse
subtill
than
wise
,
and
likes
to
heare
euerye
bodie
,
but
specially
to
followe
the
counsell
of
graue
men
in
his
matters
.
And
touching
this
matter
I
dare
boldly
saye
to
thée
,
and
assure
thée
,
that
the
Bull
hath
a
great
confidence
in
me
,
bicause
I
brought
him
to
the
Court
vnder
the
safe
condite
of
my
worde
,
(
although
it
néeded
not
)
and
the
othe
that
I
made
hym
will
make
him
beléeue
me
in
anye
thing
I
saye
:
and
therefore
let
him
come
when
he
list
,
I
haue
done
his
errant
well
inough
I
warrant
ye
.
He
reckeneth
himselfe
safe
with
me
,
but
I
will
playe
him
such
a
part
as
the
vicious
and
wicked
Foxe
played
another
Lion
(
as
the
storie
following
reciteth
)
being
like
to
haue
bene
deuoured
of
him
.
Arabia
Petrea
GOod
brother
Asse
say
what
thou
list
,
I
am
selfe
willed
in
this
I
tell
thée
,
and
out
of
doubt
I
will
bring
him
out
of
the
Kings
fauor
,
or
I
will
die
for
it
:
and
tell
not
me
of
honestie
or
dishonestie
.
Tut
a
figge
I
am
determined
.
Happie
man
happie
dole
.
Sure
I
will
trie
my
witte
,
and
sée
the
ende
and
vttermost
of
my
malice
.
THis
worshipfull
Moyle
when
he
hadde
reposed
himselfe
a
fewe
dayes
,
and
had
liuely
framed
this
treason
in
his
head
,
hée
went
to
the
Kinge
,
and
shewed
him
by
his
lookes
that
hée
was
malincholye
,
pensiue
,
and
sore
troubled
in
his
minde
.
The
King
that
sawe
this
perplexed
beast
,
and
dearelye
louing
him
:
woulde
néedes
knowe
of
the
Moyle
the
cause
of
his
griefe
.
Whom
this
subtill
Moyle
finely
aunswered
,
and
with
these
wordes
.
Most
puissant
and
mightie
Prince
,
I
haue
euen
striued
with
my selfe
to
hide
the
cause
of
my
inwarde
sorrow
,
which
in
déede
is
so
much
as
it
can
be
no
more
.
And
albeit
I
haue
bene
many
dayes
in
comming
to
your
Maiestie
,
seeking
to
ease
some
part
of
my
trouble
:
yet
I
could
neuer
finde
any
deuise
or
meane
to
release
my
heauye
and
wofull
heart
of
any
one
iote
thereof
.
And
this
is
onely
growne
(
O
Noble
Prince
)
of
the
great
loue
I
beare
your
Grace
,
bicause
it
toucheth
not
onely
your
highnesse
in
person
,
but
therewith
the
whole
state
of
your
Princely
Monarchie
.
And
I
that
am
your
Maiesties
vassall
and
subiect
,
and
a
louer
of
the
conseruation
of
your
Realme
and
Kingdome
,
am
bounde
(
will
I
nill
I
)
to
discharge
my
bounden
dutie
to
your
commaunde
.
Truely
the
trembling
of
hart
that
I
haue
suffered
hath
bene
extreme
,
night
and
daye
continuallye
vexing
and
trormenting
me
,
when
I
haue
thought
of
so
daungerous
a
case
.
The
thought
that
pricked
mée
on
the
one
side
,
was
to
doubt
that
your
Maiestie
woulde
not
credite
me
,
bewraying
to
you
the
daunger
:
and
not
disclosing
it
,
I
had
not
discharged
the
dutie
of
a
true
subiect
and
faithfull
seruaunt
to
his
Lorde
.
Compelled
therefore
to
open
(
as
is
the
dutie
of
euery
seruant
)
all
that
that
any
way
may
fall
out
to
the
hurte
and
preiudice
of
the
Maister
,
I
come
most
humbly
to
signifie
to
your
Grace
the
case
as
it
standeth
.
A
verie
faithfull
and
secret
friende
of
myne
not
long
since
came
vnto
me
,
and
made
mée
promise
him
,
and
sweare
vnto
him
with
great
othes
that
I
should
not
tell
it
in
any
case
,
bicause
he
is
a
man
of
great
honor
and
dignitie
,
and
worthie
to
be
well
thought
of
and
credited
.
And
he
tolde
me
that
the
Bull
had
secret
practise
with
the
chiefe
of
your
Realme
,
and
that
he
had
oft
priuie
conference
with
them
.
And
amongst
other
things
he
tolde
them
all
the
great
feare
your
Maiestie
had
of
him
,
disclosing
to
them
also
your
cowardly
hart
and
small
force
.
And
he
went
so
farre
forth
in
termes
of
reproche
and
dishonour
of
your
highnesse
,
that
if
his
counsell
,
fauour
,
helpe
,
and
good
gouernment
had
not
bene
,
as
he
said
:
your
Maiesties
Realme
(
not
knowing
whether
you
are
aliue
or
dead
)
had
ben
at
this
present
brought
to
nothing
.
And
furthermore
hée
did
exhort
them
to
assemble
togither
for
their
profit
,
and
to
choose
him
for
their
King
.
Saying
,
if
they
would
doo
this
for
him
,
he
would
take
vpon
him
to
driue
you
out
of
your
kingdome
:
and
he
being
King
woulde
so
exalt
them
,
and
shewe
them
such
fauor
,
that
they
shoulde
not
finde
him
vnthankfull
,
besides
that
he
would
acknowledge
the
whole
benefite
procéeding
from
them
.
And
moreouer
(
the
worst
is
yet
behind
)
the
more
part
of
them
,
I
sweare
to
your
highnesse
by
the
heade
of
my
brother
,
haue
promised
with
spéede
to
put
it
in
practise
,
and
continually
they
deuise
the
way
to
performe
it
.
So
that
inuincible
prince
,
take
not
Negligence
for
your
guide
,
but
preferre
and
entertein
Diligence
to
preuent
the
traiterous
prepared
daunger
,
and
to
foresée
the
happie
wished
health
of
your
Royall
person
.
I
was
hée
that
made
him
promise
your
Maiestie
shoulde
not
offende
him
,
nor
once
touche
him
when
I
brought
him
to
the
Court
.
I
am
he
that
euer
lyked
and
loued
him
as
my
deare
brother
.
But
yet
am
not
I
he
that
will
suffer
or
conceale
so
highe
a
treason
against
my
Lorde
and
Prince
.
Tract
not
time
,
most
noble
Prince
,
in
wondering
at
these
thinges
,
but
presently
put
your selfe
in
order
for
your
safetie
:
(
so
shall
you
méete
with
your
enimie
,
and
be
ready
for
him
)
least
your
Maiestie
by
slouth
vnwares
be
taken
tardie
,
as
was
the
slow
fishe
which
was
taken
in
a
Lake
with
two
others
in
companie
.
And
this
is
a
certaine
and
true
tale
that
I
will
tell
your
highnesse
.
THe
King
set
a
good
countenaunce
on
the
matter
,
althoughe
these
newes
touched
him
inwardly
,
and
séemed
as
they
had
not
altered
him
at
all
,
and
with
great
modestie
and
curtesie
aunswered
the
Moyle
.
I
make
no
doubt
of
thy
true
and
faithfull
seruice
to
mée
,
bicause
I
knowe
thou
canst
not
suffer
so
much
as
the
shadow
of
the
daunger
of
my
estate
&
kingdome
,
much
lesse
the
hurt
of
my
person
.
Although
many
Princes
and
Lordes
in
such
case
thinke
themselues
yll
serued
:
yet
is
it
méete
and
right
that
the
good
bée
rather
ledde
by
vertuous
instinct
,
then
caried
away
from
the
right
through
displeasure
receyued
.
I
sée
thou
willest
mée
good
,
&
am
sure
that
the
loue
thou
bearest
me
,
maketh
thee
ielous
of
the
maintenance
of
mine
honor
and
estate
.
Yet
it
hardly
entreth
into
mée
,
and
me
thinketh
it
straunge
(
saue
that
thou
tellest
it
me
,
I
could
hardly
thinke
it
,
much
lesse
beléeue
it
)
that
such
wicked
thoughts
should
bréede
in
the
Bulles
brest
to
me
,
since
by
proofe
I
knowe
him
in
many
things
both
good
,
faithfull
,
and
honest
in
his
seruice
:
and
hée
knoweth
besides
my
goodnesse
to
him
,
howe
I
receyued
him
courteously
into
my
Court
,
and
that
he
may
saye
hée
is
made
Lorde
in
maner
of
my
kingdome
.
Sacred
Prince
(
sayd
the
Moyle
)
I
beléeue
in
déede
that
the
Bull
thinketh
himselfe
well
intreated
of
your
Maiestie
:
(
and
good
cause
he
hath
so
to
doe
,
)
and
that
hée
meaneth
no
hurt
to
your
royall
person
for
any
displeasure
he
hath
receyued
of
you
,
or
for
any
conceyued
hate
he
hath
towards
you
.
And
I
thinke
sure
he
taketh
not
vppon
him
so
fowle
an
enterprise
to
other
ende
,
but
bicause
prouinder
pricketh
him
,
&
maketh
him
lustie
to
fling
and
play
the
wanton
,
and
for
that
he
is
well
he
cannot
sée
it
,
and
that
maketh
him
to
deuise
some
mischiefe
,
wéening
to
haue
all
in
his
hands
,
saue
the
very
title
of
the
King
,
and
that
this
little
,
(
hauing
all
the
rest
)
which
is
also
the
most
,
is
easie
for
him
to
obtaine
.
I
suppose
your
Highnesse
hath
vnderstoode
me
:
nowe
take
what
way
you
list
.
I
knowe
well
ynough
that
an
Asse
loden
with
golde
may
sléepe
more
safely
amongst
théeues
,
than
a
King
that
trusteth
trayterous
officers
and
gouernours
appointed
for
the
state
.
And
let
your
Maiestie
bée
sure
of
this
,
that
that
which
the
Bull
can
not
compasse
nor
reach
vnto
by
his
owne
force
and
others
,
he
will
certainly
practise
by
deceyt
,
vsing
such
meanes
to
bring
him
to
it
,
as
the
Flea
did
to
bring
the
Lowse
to
that
passe
he
brought
him
to
,
and
that
he
had
long
pursued
as
followeth
.
WHy
,
what
shall
wée
doe
then
?
if
the
case
stande
as
thou
settest
it
forth
,
what
way
shall
we
take
?
I
will
heare
thée
willingly
,
and
follow
thy
counsell
:
with
this
condicion
though
,
that
in
this
interim
my
Realme
and
person
be
not
touched
,
or
that
I
sustaine
perill
or
losse
.
SVre
this
sodeine
matter
maketh
me
much
muse
,
sayde
the
Lion.
For
one
way
draweth
me
to
loue
him
,
and
that
is
the
credit
I
repose
in
him
,
the
long
experience
of
his
good
gouernement
,
his
vertues
and
wisedome
,
and
bicause
I
neuer
founde
cause
in
him
to
detect
him
any
way
.
The
other
thing
that
presseth
me
much
,
is
feare
:
which
is
a
great
burthen
.
I
would
faine
therefore
finde
a
waye
betwéene
both
,
that
shoulde
be
betwixt
loue
and
hate
,
or
betwixt
feare
and
trust
,
and
this
it
is
.
To
call
(
if
thou
thinke
good
)
the
Bull
,
and
to
examine
him
well
and
streightly
.
And
if
I
finde
him
any
thing
at
all
blotted
with
this
humor
,
I
will
chastise
him
with
banishment
,
but
neuer
imbrue
my
handes
in
his
bloud
,
procéeding
lyke
a
great
and
noble
Prince
.
This
determination
lyked
not
the
Moyle
,
as
he
that
was
sure
to
liue
like
a
wretched
beast
,
and
that
his
malice
by
this
deuise
should
appéere
:
and
streight
he
aunswered
the
King
.
Your
Maiestie
hath
euen
lighted
right
on
the
most
stranglingst
morsell
,
and
the
hardest
Nutte
to
cracke
:
if
you
meane
to
follow
that
you
haue
propounded
.
For
he
careth
not
to
throwe
at
his
enimie
,
that
beléeueth
he
is
not
seene
:
but
standeth
to
beholde
if
it
light
right
.
But
if
he
beware
once
he
is
seene
,
then
for
shame
he
sticketh
to
his
tackle
,
and
followeth
on
his
blowe
,
least
he
shoulde
be
counted
a
foole
and
Coward
both
in
his
doings
.
And
by
such
like
meanes
I
haue
oft
times
séene
a
little
sparckle
kindle
a
great
fire
.
O
my
Lorde
,
he
that
fayneth
he
hath
not
bene
offended
,
maye
at
his
ease
and
leysure
be
reuenged
.
Contrarie
to
those
that
neuer
bring
any
thing
to
passe
that
they
would
,
when
they
spit
that
out
with
their
tongue
that
they
thinke
in
their
heart
.
Therefore
I
am
determined
(
if
your
Maiestie
will
like
my
opinion
)
to
worke
another
and
peraduenture
a
better
way
.
I
will
home
to
his
house
,
and
as
a
friend
I
will
féele
him
to
the
bottome
and
grope
his
minde
:
and
he
as
my
verie
friende
also
(
and
that
assuredly
trusteth
me
)
will
laye
himselfe
open
to
mée
,
I
am
sure
of
it
.
Such
passioned
mindes
will
easilye
breake
out
at
the
first
,
and
they
cannot
kéepe
it
in
but
out
it
must
.
They
are
besides
that
great
boasters
and
vaunters
.
For
they
thinke
they
stande
in
déede
in
that
degrée
and
termes
of
reputation
and
honor
that
they
imagine
themselues
to
be
in
,
and
they
make
large
promises
,
and
builde
Castels
in
the
aire
:
and
at
euery
worde
they
saye
they
will
make
thée
great
,
and
bring
thée
into
fauor
,
and
when
time
serueth
thou
shalt
sée
what
I
will
say
and
doe
both
.
It
will
not
be
long
to
it
.
Well
,
well
,
I
know
what
I
say
.
So
that
with
such
lyke
Phrases
and
deuises
,
it
shall
procéede
rightly
.
And
thus
in
these
traines
appéere
yet
tokens
euident
inough
and
very
notable
.
If
he
haue
not
capacitie
and
iudgement
to
conceyue
mée
,
and
that
he
euen
crosse
not
my
meaning
:
I
that
haue
an
ynckling
of
the
thing
already
,
I
will
be
with
him
in
euery
corner
,
I
will
not
misse
him
an
ynch
.
If
he
rayse
men
,
what
order
he
hath
giuen
,
and
whether
his
house
be
armed
or
no
,
yea
,
and
I
will
drawe
out
the
matter
ye
shall
sée
finely
out
of
his
naughtie
fantasticall
head
.
And
if
he
go
so
priuily
to
worke
that
I
cannot
sée
him
where
he
goes
,
nor
know
what
he
doth
,
as
I
am
sure
I
know
perfitely
all
his
practises
:
I
will
bring
him
to
your
Highnesse
,
and
when
hée
shall
appéere
before
you
,
you
shall
easilye
finde
him
.
For
his
heade
is
not
without
feare
,
and
his
sight
very
dull
,
and
he
will
not
come
to
you
with
that
chéerefull
countenaunce
he
was
woont
to
looke
on
you
before
.
He
will
be
verie
suspicious
and
not
continue
in
a
tale
,
and
I
know
your
Grace
shall
perceyue
his
malicious
and
spitefull
practise
by
many
tokens
euident
ynough
.
And
what
knoweth
your
Grace
whether
the
penne
of
his
hart
will
not
write
all
his
thoughts
in
his
forhed
?
as
many
times
it
falleth
out
vnhappily
,
contrarie
to
the
disposition
of
his
thought
that
hath
offended
.
TRuly
faith
hath
left
hir
habitation
on
the
earth
,
and
bountie
reigneth
no
more
in
any
lande
:
neyther
doe
I
thinke
your
wisedome
can
doe
more
or
lesse
,
than
the
heauens
and
celestial
motions
doe
dispose
you
to
.
Lorde
,
what
a
marueylous
thing
is
this
?
that
to
come
to
fame
and
renowne
by
degrées
of
honor
,
it
bringeth
a
thousand
daungers
with
it
.
We
neuer
(
or
seldome
)
doe
well
,
when
we
followe
our
owne
humor
or
counsel
.
And
he
also
that
out
of
the
bookes
of
the
ignoraunt
taketh
forth
any
sentence
to
serue
his
turne
,
must
of
necessitie
repent
him
when
he
séeth
his
folye
.
All
the
Stories
of
the
worlde
affirme
,
that
a
lame
man
can
neuer
go
vpright
.
The
Sages
also
agrée
,
that
the
highest
places
are
most
daungerous
to
clyme
.
Therefore
it
is
best
euer
to
beare
a
lowe
saile
:
not
to
hie
for
the
Pie
,
nor
to
lowe
for
the
Crowe
.
O
My
good
:
thou
art
inspired
with
the
holy
ghost
,
the
Deuill
is
within
thée
thou
hast
so
rightly
hit
me
.
It
is
true
the
King
is
angrie
and
suspecteth
somewhat
,
but
not
thorow
me
I
assure
thée
,
nor
by
my
meanes
.
Now
thou
knowest
verie
well
the
promise
I
made
for
thée
,
and
the
beastly
othe
I
tooke
,
which
bindeth
me
in
déede
to
my
worde
:
and
let
it
go
as
it
will
,
sure
I
will
not
breake
my
promise
with
my
friende
that
I
loue
for
anye
respect
in
the
worlde
,
let
the
worlde
runne
on
whéeles
as
it
list
.
Therfore
I
will
tell
thée
if
thou
hadst
not
bene
warned
of
it
before
.
And
harcken
how
.
Two
Gotes
my
verye
friendes
,
and
of
great
iudgement
came
to
sée
me
,
weening
to
bring
me
pleasant
newes
,
not
knowing
that
we
two
are
tyed
as
it
were
by
the
nauels
togither
,
being
both
as
one
in
friendship
.
And
they
tolde
me
for
certaintie
that
the
Lion
our
King
is
marueylous
angrie
,
that
he
smoked
againe
at
the
mouth
,
making
such
verses
as
the
Cattes
doe
when
they
go
a
catterwawling
in
Ianuarie
,
and
in
that
furie
he
spit
forth
these
words
.
Euer
when
I
sée
that
Bull
before
me
,
I
am
ready
to
fall
for
anger
.
An
vnprofitable
body
,
and
no
goodnesse
in
him
at
all
:
brought
into
the
world
but
to
fill
his
paunch
at
others
cost
.
I
can
not
be
well
,
he
doth
vexe
all
the
partes
of
me
he
doth
so
much
offend
me
.
Well
,
I
will
take
order
for
this
well
ynough
,
and
sith
he
doth
me
no
seruice
by
his
life
,
I
will
profit
my selfe
by
his
death
at
least
.
When
I
heard
these
words
spoken
,
thou
mayst
imagine
whether
my
heares
stoode
vpright
or
no
,
and
I
could
not
hold
but
I
must
néedes
say
.
Well
,
well
,
such
Lordes
,
in
faith
they
are
lyker
Plowmen
than
those
they
represent
.
I
sée
they
stie
the
Hogge
to
fat
him
vp
,
and
so
to
eate
him
.
O
this
his
ingratitude
and
crueltie
,
(
I
cannot
hyde
it
)
and
his
so
great
beastlynesse
togither
hath
taken
mée
by
the
nose
,
as
if
I
had
met
with
the
Mustarde
pot
.
For
those
good
qualities
of
thine
,
for
that
league
that
is
betwixt
vs
(
although
I
were
sure
of
his
Graces
indignation
)
and
bicause
me
thinke
thou
art
betrayde
,
I
could
not
choose
but
come
and
tell
it
thée
.
So
that
good
,
thou
art
great
and
olde
ynough
,
looke
well
to
thy selfe
,
thou
néedest
not
be
taught
,
thou
art
wise
ynough
,
and
there
an
ende
.
Thou
art
past
a
Steere
,
and
a
Bull
full
growne
,
nay
rather
a
fat
Oxe
.
But
hearest
thou
me
,
Gods
my
bones
not
a
word
for
thy
life
:
for
if
thou
doest
,
all
the
fatte
lieth
in
the
fire
,
and
the
pottage
maye
be
spilt
and
cast
on
the
Moyles
backe
.
THese
thy
wyse
reasons
,
O
,
sincke
not
into
my
heade
sayd
the
Moyle
(
as
he
that
woulde
néedes
make
him
beléeue
he
gaue
him
a
remedie
for
his
griefe
,
and
presented
a
cup
with
poyson
.
)
Make
no
more
wordes
,
for
thou
must
put
to
thy
hande
to
redresse
it
,
and
not
to
lament
it
.
For
yll
stande
wordes
in
place
where
déedes
are
requisite
.
To
shewe
his
griefe
sayd
the
Bull
,
and
to
breake
his
minde
to
his
friend
,
me
thinkes
it
is
partly
an
ease
to
the
heart
,
and
a
lightning
of
the
minde
to
him
that
is
afflicted
.
And
so
much
more
is
this
in
me
,
bicause
I
see
my selfe
in
great
daunger
,
and
like
to
be
vndone
.
And
although
the
Lion
delighted
not
in
my
hurt
which
I
may
suffer
,
(
and
as
thou
sayst
liketh
him
)
yet
the
iniquity
of
my
enimies
notwithstanding
wil
so
preuaile
against
me
,
that
the
king
will
giue
no
eare
to
my
innocencie
.
And
I
am
sure
(
for
I
sée
it
in
the
Element
)
that
the
like
will
fall
on
me
,
that
lighted
on
the
Camell
with
an
other
lyke
Lion
:
which
tale
followeth
,
and
this
it
is
.
MOst
mightie
Prince
the
Prouerbe
sayth
.
Who
séeketh
shall
finde
.
Like
as
he
can
not
sée
that
hath
not
eyes
,
nor
heare
that
hath
not
eares
:
So
wée
poore
wretches
that
starue
for
hunger
,
thrust
vp
betwixt
the
doore
and
wall
,
we
I
say
can
not
sée
one
another
,
and
haue
lost
all
our
senses
.
And
being
thus
blinded
we
cannot
séeke
,
and
not
séeking
yée
maye
well
thinke
that
we
all
are
ready
to
faint
and
fall
downe
right
.
But
yet
we
haue
founde
a
waye
not
to
famishe
:
and
to
bée
plaine
with
your
Grace
at
a
worde
,
we
woulde
haue
you
kill
the
Camell
,
and
the
Woolfe
,
the
Foxe
,
and
I
will
be
readye
to
assist
you
.
Hée
is
rounde
,
plumme
,
fatte
,
and
as
full
as
an
Egge
,
so
that
he
will
serue
you
a
great
while
,
&
also
he
is
none
of
ours
at
any
hand
,
neither
yet
is
he
called
to
any
seruice
for
his
richesse
:
for
I
haue
knowne
him
a
very
begger
ywis
.
The
Lion
cut
of
his
tale
and
deuice
vpon
a
sodeine
,
and
more
than
halfe
angry
he
said
to
him
.
Get
thée
hence
out
of
my
sight
thou
and
thy
wicked
counsel
,
vile
stinking
beast
that
thou
art
,
that
doest
nothing
else
but
plucke
out
eyes
,
a
beast
without
discretion
or
fayth
.
Doest
thou
not
remember
what
I
sayd
to
the
Camell
?
Doth
not
he
liue
vnder
my
protection
and
warrant
?
The
Rauen
lyke
an
olde
théefe
let
him
goe
on
and
saye
his
pleasure
.
And
though
the
Kinge
grounded
himselfe
on
iustice
,
and
sought
to
perfourme
his
worde
and
promise
past
him
,
yet
he
stirred
not
a
whit
,
no
more
than
the
wilde
Bore
among
the
thicke
bushes
and
Briers
,
nor
once
hid
him selfe
for
all
his
heate
and
hote
wordes
,
but
tooke
hart
of
grace
on
him
againe
.
And
as
one
that
knewe
he
stoode
on
a
sure
grounde
,
and
that
hée
spake
for
the
Princes
profite
(
a
good
staffe
to
leane
on
and
make
a
man
bolde
I
warrant
ye
,
for
it
maketh
many
a
bitter
fray
with
honor
,
and
putteth
him
oft
to
flight
:
and
iustice
is
more
corrupted
for
commoditie
,
than
honor
doth
cause
it
to
procéede
with
equitie
.
)
He
replied
to
the
King
,
and
told
him
a
trimme
tale
with
these
wordes
.
Victorious
Prince
,
your
opinion
is
no
lesse
good
than
iust
,
and
I
lyke
it
well
that
your
minde
agréeth
with
the
greatnesse
of
your
crowne
:
but
I
stande
in
great
feare
that
this
your
carnall
holynesse
will
fall
out
verie
hurtfull
for
your
Kingdome
.
Sure
generall
honestie
banisheth
from
euery
one
murder
:
but
priuate
profite
calleth
it
againe
.
We
your
obedient
vassals
and
subiects
,
humbly
beséeche
your
Maiestie
on
the
knées
of
our
hearts
,
that
of
two
harde
choyces
ye
will
take
the
best
,
or
as
they
say
,
of
two
euyls
the
least
.
Cast
not
away
for
Gods
sake
to
saue
one
vnprofitable
member
,
so
many
profitable
and
necessarie
members
,
making
them
vnprofitable
and
not
necessary
.
Your
life
standeth
your selfe
and
all
vs
vppon
,
and
importeth
all
.
If
he
liue
,
you
die
:
if
he
die
,
you
liue
,
and
we
to
serue
you
.
My
Lorde
I
saye
,
honor
for
others
that
lyst
,
but
profit
for
your selfe
.
Your
Maiestie
once
gone
,
your
subiectes
and
Realme
are
lyke
to
come
to
naught
.
Your
preseruation
is
ours
also
.
It
is
of
necessitie
one
Well
must
be
clensed
to
cléere
the
rest
.
And
though
in
déede
your
word
and
assurance
hath
tied
your
handes
,
and
that
in
that
respect
you
woulde
not
breake
iustice
:
let
mée
alone
with
the
matter
:
I
will
worke
such
a
feate
for
him
,
that
I
will
make
him
come
and
offer
himselfe
vnto
you
,
and
lay
his
necke
on
the
blocke
,
and
yet
he
shall
little
thinke
my
meaning
.
And
when
you
haue
his
heade
on
the
blocke
and
cannot
finde
meanes
to
choppe
it
off
,
in
fayth
you
are
worthie
to
starue
:
and
then
at
your
perill
be
it
for
me
.
You
sée
you
are
famished
,
and
we
starued
,
and
howe
lowe
you
are
brought
.
Follow
my
counsell
,
and
I
will
deliuer
him
you
faire
and
fatte
:
so
shall
ye
saue
your selfe
and
vs
too
.
THis
tale
I
haue
tolde
thée
sayd
the
Bull
,
bicause
thou
shouldest
knowe
these
Courtlike
fables
,
deuises
,
and
practises
of
vaine
and
wicked
Courtiers
.
I
knowe
them
all
,
and
I
am
so
much
the
better
acquainted
with
them
,
bicause
I
sée
them
daily
vsed
against
the
good
and
vertuous
,
and
well
disposed
minds
.
And
one
no
sooner
maketh
waye
for
vertue
,
but
they
streight
set
thornes
in
his
way
to
prick
his
féete
.
But
I
will
not
hasard
my
life
in
going
about
to
maintaine
the
place
and
credite
I
haue
about
the
Prince
.
If
the
loue
thou
bearest
me
be
true
,
I
praye
thée
doe
but
giue
me
a
watch
worde
how
I
may
saue
my selfe
,
and
helpe
me
with
thy
counsell
in
this
distresse
,
for
I
promise
thée
I
cannot
counsell
my selfe
.
And
for
any
other
to
counsell
me
in
so
harde
a
case
,
I
cannot
sée
any
light
at
all
,
bicause
me
thinkes
I
sée
some
beastly
part
playde
me
,
and
I
am
ready
to
burst
for
sorrowe
:
and
the
woorst
of
all
,
that
I
sée
no
ende
to
bring
mée
to
any
sure
hauen
.
So
that
I
praye
thée
helpe
to
saue
me
:
and
this
thing
I
craue
of
thée
,
bicause
it
is
fitte
for
euerye
bodie
to
séeke
for
his
helth
.
Thou
hast
sayd
better
than
a
Crabbe
that
hath
two
mouthes
sayd
the
Moyle
:
and
surely
to
séeke
for
thy
health
it
is
but
reason
,
and
a
lawfull
excuse
.
For
he
that
cannot
saue
his
life
by
force
,
is
to
be
borne
withall
if
he
worke
for
his
life
by
subtiltie
or
malice
.
Howbeit
aboue
all
thinges
,
euery
little
enimie
is
greatly
to
be
thought
on
and
looked
vnto
:
now
iudge
thou
then
howe
much
the
great
is
to
be
feared
.
And
hée
that
will
not
estéeme
this
,
and
beléeue
that
I
saye
,
it
shoulde
happen
to
him
that
happened
to
the
Male
and
female
Linnet
in
making
their
neast
.
IN
the
fishings
of
the
Sophie
,
there
was
a
worlde
of
Fowles
that
kept
about
it
to
feede
of
those
fishes
,
and
amongst
them
was
a
Torteise
of
the
water
that
had
streight
friendship
with
two
great
and
fat
Fowles
,
who
diuing
vnder
water
droue
the
fishe
all
about
,
and
they
no
sooner
appéered
almost
aboue
water
,
but
at
a
choppe
they
had
them
in
their
mouthes
.
The
Lake
was
full
of
cliftes
,
I
cannot
tell
howe
but
by
certayne
earthquakes
,
and
by
little
and
little
it
beganne
to
waxe
drie
,
so
that
they
were
faine
to
voyde
out
the
water
to
take
out
the
great
number
of
fishe
that
were
in
it
,
that
they
should
not
die
in
that
drougth
,
but
rather
eate
them
vp
.
The
fishes
therefore
of
that
Lake
meaning
to
depart
out
of
that
countrie
,
came
one
morning
to
breake
their
fast
togithers
,
and
to
take
their
leaue
of
the
Torteise
their
friend
.
The
which
when
she
saw
them
forsake
hir
,
she
wept
bitterly
,
&
pitifully
lamenting
she
sayd
.
Alas
,
what
shall
I
doe
here
alone
.
But
what
thing
can
come
worse
to
mée
,
than
to
lose
the
water
and
my
friendes
at
one
instant
.
O
poore
Torteise
that
I
am
,
wretched
creature
I
,
whither
should
I
go
to
séeke
out
water
,
that
am
so
slowe
to
go
?
I
like
not
to
tarie
longer
in
this
countrie
.
O
good
brethren
helpe
me
,
I
pray
you
forsake
me
not
in
my
distresse
.
Ah
vnhappie
was
I
borne
in
this
worlde
,
that
I
must
carie
my
house
with
me
,
and
can
put
no
vittayles
into
it
.
In
others
houses
alacke
there
is
place
ynough
for
their
necessaries
:
but
in
mine
I
can
scant
hyde
my selfe
.
A
,
woe
,
woe
is
me
,
howe
shall
I
doe
?
if
ye
haue
any
pitie
on
me
my
brethren
,
&
if
ye
haue
taken
me
for
your
friend
,
helpe
me
for
Gods
sake
.
Leaue
me
not
here
to
burst
for
thirst
.
I
woulde
gladly
go
with
you
,
and
that
you
woulde
put
me
in
some
Lake
:
and
I
woulde
followe
mine
olde
trade
as
I
haue
done
,
therfore
deare
Fowles
helpe
me
.
These
woordes
did
penetrate
the
heartes
of
these
great
water
Fowles
,
and
taking
no
lesse
pitie
on
hir
,
than
looking
to
their
owne
profite
,
they
sayde
vnto
hir
.
Deare
Mother
Torteise
,
we
coulde
not
doe
better
than
satisfie
thy
desire
,
but
alas
what
meanes
haue
we
to
carie
thee
hence
into
any
Lake
?
yet
there
is
an
easie
way
to
bring
it
to
passe
,
so
that
thy
hart
will
serue
thée
to
take
vpon
thée
to
holde
a
péece
of
wood
fast
in
thy
téeth
a
good
while
.
And
then
we
(
the
one
on
the
one
side
of
thée
,
and
the
other
on
the
other
side
)
will
with
our
bylles
take
the
ende
of
the
sticke
in
our
mouthes
also
,
and
so
carye
thée
trimlye
into
some
Lake
,
and
there
we
woulde
leade
our
liues
and
fare
delicately
.
But
in
any
case
thou
must
beware
thou
open
not
thy
mouth
at
any
time
,
bicause
the
other
birdes
that
flie
vp
and
downe
will
gladly
play
with
thée
,
and
laugh
to
sée
thée
flie
in
the
ayre
,
thou
that
art
vsed
to
tarie
on
the
earth
,
and
vnder
the
water
.
Therefore
they
will
tell
thée
marueylous
wonders
,
and
will
be
verie
busie
with
thée
,
and
peraduenture
they
will
aske
thée
:
Oh
pretie
she
beast
,
whence
commest
thou
I
pray
thée
,
that
thou
art
flying
thus
,
and
whither
wilt
thou
?
But
take
thou
no
héede
to
them
,
sée
them
not
,
nor
once
harken
to
them
I
would
aduise
thée
.
And
if
they
prattle
to
thée
,
saying
,
Oh
what
an
enterprise
of
birdes
,
good
Lorde
what
a
peece
of
worke
they
haue
taken
in
hande
.
Whishte
,
not
a
worde
thou
for
thy
life
,
nor
looke
not
that
we
should
aunswere
them
.
For
we
hauing
the
sticke
in
our
mouthes
cannot
speake
but
thou
must
needes
fall
,
if
the
sticke
(
by
talke
)
fall
out
of
our
mouthes
at
any
time
.
Well
,
now
thou
hast
heard
all
,
how
sayest
thou
?
will
thy
minde
serue
thée
,
hast
thou
any
fantasie
to
the
matter
?
who
I
?
yes
that
I
haue
,
I
am
ready
to
doe
any
thing
:
I
will
venter
rather
than
I
will
tarie
behinde
.
The
Fowle
founde
out
a
sticke
,
and
made
the
Torteise
holde
it
fast
with
hir
téeth
as
she
could
for
hir
life
,
and
then
they
eche
of
them
tooke
an
ende
in
their
mouth
,
and
putting
themselues
vppe
,
streight
flue
into
the
aire
:
that
it
was
one
of
the
foolishest
sightes
to
sée
a
Torteise
flie
in
the
aire
that
euer
was
séene
.
And
beholde
a
whole
flight
of
birdes
met
them
,
séeing
them
flie
thus
straungely
,
and
houered
rounde
about
them
,
with
great
laughtures
,
and
noyses
,
and
speaking
the
vilest
wordes
to
them
they
coulde
.
O
here
is
a
braue
sight
,
looke
,
here
is
a
goodly
ieast
,
whoo
,
what
bugge
haue
we
here
saide
some
.
Sée
,
sée
,
she
hangeth
by
the
throte
,
and
therfore
she
speaketh
not
saide
others
:
and
the
beast
flieth
not
,
like
a
beast
.
These
tauntes
and
spiteful
words
went
to
the
hart
of
the
Torteise
,
that
she
was
as
madde
as
she
coulde
bee
:
so
she
coulde
no
longer
holde
but
aunswere
she
would
(
at
least
as
she
thought
)
and
when
she
opened
hir
mouth
to
speake
,
downe
she
fell
to
the
grounde
,
and
pashte
hir
all
to
peeces
:
and
all
bicause
she
woulde
haue
sayde
,
I
am
an
honest
woman
,
and
no
théefe
,
I
would
ye
shoulde
knowe
it
:
Knaues
,
Rascals
,
and
rauening
birds
that
ye
are
.
So
that
contemning
the
good
counsell
was
giuen
hir
,
or
to
say
better
,
bicause
she
woulde
not
beleeue
them
,
she
payde
hir
folly
with
death
.
And
now
I
returne
backe
againe
whence
I
came
.
THe
trayterous
Moyle
hoong
downe
his
heade
all
the
while
,
and
knewe
well
ynough
that
it
was
true
the
Asse
sayd
,
and
that
he
missed
not
much
the
marke
,
yet
he
helde
his
peace
,
and
would
not
aunswere
one
worde
.
So
the
Asse
followed
on
his
tale
,
and
came
againe
to
the
matter
.
I
sée
my
wordes
but
lost
,
and
worke
small
effect
:
and
I
am
sure
there
is
no
rebuke
more
cast
away
and
blowne
into
the
winde
,
than
that
that
is
giuen
him
,
that
is
neyther
capable
of
it
,
nor
honest
and
iust
:
nay
rather
feareth
no
punishment
for
his
peruerse
and
wicked
works
.
It
shall
doe
well
therefore
(
though
I
be
but
thy
brother
by
the
fathers
side
)
to
take
care
of
thée
,
least
I
should
fall
into
that
that
a
little
Popingey
fell
into
with
an
Ape
of
THe
poore
Birde
when
he
saw
hir
make
that
face
to
him
was
halfe
afraide
,
yet
leauing
hir
he
went
to
counsell
the
others
,
supposing
by
being
importunate
to
make
them
knowe
their
follie
:
and
so
he
began
to
say
and
repeate
verie
oft
that
he
sayd
to
the
other
Ape
before
,
so
that
that
Ape
coulde
not
abyde
him
any
longer
for
spight
,
but
gaue
a
leape
or
two
to
ketch
him
.
But
the
Fowle
being
wight
of
winge
easilye
scaped
hir
:
and
sure
if
he
had
taried
neuer
so
little
,
and
had
not
flowen
awaye
so
fast
as
he
did
,
the
Ape
had
not
left
a
feather
on
his
back
,
she
had
torne
him
.
And
like
to
the
Ape
art
thou
,
for
there
is
no
good
counsell
will
take
place
with
thée
,
nor
no
admonitions
or
warnings
that
will
once
make
thée
beware
or
take
héede
.
I
shoulde
be
the
obstinate
Birde
that
shoulde
still
go
about
to
perswade
thée
,
but
in
the
ende
I
feare
me
that
woulde
happen
to
mée
,
which
chaunced
to
a
Pie
with
hir
Maister
,
being
a
setter
forth
of
Playes
and
Enterludes
.
THe
Sea
Crabbe
disposed
to
play
with
a
foole
,
was
contented
to
be
ridden
of
him
,
but
he
like
a
Cockes
combe
(
not
knowing
she
went
backwarde
,
)
put
a
Bridle
in
hir
mouth
,
and
it
went
to
hir
tayle
,
and
spurring
hir
forwardes
,
the
Crabbe
went
backwardes
.
I
am
a
foole
(
quoth
the
foole
)
to
thincke
to
doe
well
with
thée
,
since
I
know
not
thy
nature
nor
condicion
.
Now
listen
what
chaunced
to
an
vngracious
traueyler
,
and
then
consider
well
of
the
matter
.
THis
brawling
and
scolding
continued
a
good
while
betwéene
them
,
in
the
ende
they
went
both
to
the
Mayor
:
who
after
longe
cauillations
,
intermissions
,
paremptories
,
exigentes
,
termes
vpon
termes
,
fauors
,
promises
,
agréements
,
prayses
,
compremises
,
wagers
,
and
a
number
of
other
such
lyke
conceytes
and
toyes
,
perceyued
his
tale
had
neither
head
nor
foote
.
Then
sayd
my
L.
Mayor
to
picke
out
the
core
of
this
matter
:
when
ye
two
hid
this
treasure
,
were
there
any
others
with
you
,
or
were
yee
two
alone
togithers
?
The
Knaue
that
had
occupied
his
hands
as
nimbly
as
he
that
playeth
on
the
Phife
,
answered
streight
as
if
he
had
bene
cléere
and
honest
in
the
matter
.
My
Lorde
,
and
if
it
please
your
Honor
,
with
your
graces
fauour
,
the
trée
it selfe
and
you
were
there
and
sawe
it
,
would
witnesse
the
matter
plainely
.
For
we
both
I
am
sure
put
it
betwéene
the
rootes
of
the
trée
,
and
therefore
I
beleeue
it
will
showe
you
the
hole
which
the
théefe
hath
digged
.
If
God
be
iust
,
I
knowe
hée
will
make
the
trée
tell
,
and
as
it
were
poynt
with
a
finger
to
him
that
stale
it
,
and
showe
you
of
him
Sir
,
of
him
that
standeth
here
before
your
Lordshippes
goodnesse
(
and
my
worshipfull
Maisters
)
lyke
a
steale
Counter
nowe
,
for
out
of
doubt
he
stole
it
.
My
L.
Mayor
that
had
many
times
put
his
finger
in
the
fire
before
,
as
one
well
acquaynted
with
such
lyke
matters
,
and
that
coulde
spie
day
at
a
little
hole
,
sayd
,
well
then
ye
stande
vpon
the
testimonie
of
the
trée
,
and
séeing
ye
doe
so
,
both
you
and
I
will
be
at
the
doing
of
it
God
willing
,
and
I
will
sift
it
out
to
the
vttermost
I
warrant
ye
,
feare
ye
not
.
They
putting
in
sureties
for
their
apperaunce
,
and
a
daye
appointed
for
the
matter
,
were
dismissed
the
Court
.
This
determination
liked
the
théefe
of
life
,
for
he
had
streight
deuised
a
mischiefe
to
blind
my
L.
Maior
withall
.
But
here
I
wil
make
a
little
digression
.
He
that
doth
his
things
without
aduise
&
counsell
can
neuer
do
well
.
The
counsell
is
euer
sound
and
good
that
commeth
from
olde
experienced
men
,
or
at
least
helpeth
in
some
part
.
It
is
euery
wise
mans
part
to
take
counsell
in
things
he
goeth
about
,
wherof
he
is
either
ignoraunt
or
doubtfull
.
He
that
representeth
the
Moyle
,
I
hope
since
he
will
follow
no
counsell
,
ye
shall
sée
him
smart
for
it
in
the
ende
.
For
it
is
written
.
Heare
my
sonne
my
precepts
and
counsayles
,
but
the
Moste
was
deafe
and
coulde
not
heare
of
that
side
.
And
now
listen
howe
.
SOnne
,
it
is
good
to
be
merie
and
wise
.
I
care
not
to
take
this
matter
vpon
me
,
but
me
thinke
it
is
harde
and
daungerous
.
A
wise
man
will
looke
ere
he
leape
.
I
feare
me
those
egges
will
be
broken
in
the
mouth
while
we
are
a
sucking
of
them
.
It
happeneth
in
an
houre
that
happeneth
not
in
seauen
yeres
.
If
thys
geare
come
out
,
we
haue
sponne
a
fayre
thréede
.
Consider
it
wel
,
mishappes
are
euer
at
hande
.
Howbeit
,
so
it
happen
not
to
me
as
it
did
to
the
Birde
that
would
kill
the
Snake
,
I
am
contented
:
and
now
heare
the
storie
how
she
did
.
FAther
you
cast
beyond
the
Moone
,
and
make
doubtes
where
none
are
:
there
is
no
such
daunger
in
this
as
you
speake
of
.
Too
it
lustily
,
and
be
not
afrayde
,
I
will
warrant
thée
for
an
Egge
at
Easter
.
What
doest
thou
thinke
I
haue
not
wayed
the
matter
to
the
vttermost
?
foreséene
it
,
preuented
it
,
looked
thorowe
it
,
and
séene
to
the
bottome
of
it
?
Yes
that
I
trowe
I
haue
.
And
if
I
had
not
séene
it
done
as
I
would
haue
it
,
I
would
not
buye
the
repentaunce
of
the
lyfe
of
my
deare
,
swéete
,
louing
,
and
tender
father
.
Therefore
dispatche
,
and
about
thy
businesse
.
The
tyde
taryeth
no
man
.
Nowe
is
the
time
that
in
despite
of
our
foes
(
doe
the
woorst
they
can
)
wee
shall
haue
our
purpose
,
and
that
so
trimlye
,
that
we
shall
swim
in
wealth
,
and
liue
all
the
dayes
of
our
lyfe
after
like
Gentlemen
,
and
take
our
pleasure
.
So
the
vnhappie
(
rather
than
wise-father
,
daunced
after
the
sonnes
pipe
,
and
forthwith
went
and
conueyed
hymselfe
vnder
that
hollowe
trée
,
tarying
there
all
night
where
the
treasure
had
bene
hidden
.
THou
mayest
nowe
turne
thys
tale
to
thée
,
and
make
thée
a
short
cloke
,
for
in
sooth
it
is
euen
fit
for
thy
back
,
therfore
put
it
on
thée
.
Once
againe
I
tell
it
thée
,
that
the
books
which
thou
hast
studied
are
false
,
and
the
doctrine
naught
:
therefore
I
can
tell
thée
they
will
be
throwne
into
the
fire
.
And
if
thou
followe
that
doctrine
,
and
alleage
their
authorities
,
out
of
doubt
thou
wilt
frye
at
a
stake
,
and
thou
and
thy
Doctors
will
be
burned
togithers
.
All
will
lye
on
thy
neck
and
of
thy
childrens
:
as
it
did
vpon
the
adulteresse
,
and
it
is
not
long
since
it
happened
,
as
you
shall
heare
.
HIr
husbande
though
in
déede
he
was
but
an
Asse
and
a
dr●mishe
foole
,
was
not
moued
a
whit
at
hir
yll
fauoured
tale
,
nor
once
honge
downe
his
head
for
the
matter
,
and
made
as
though
he
beleued
hir
:
but
he
knew
streight
the
knauery
of
the
foolish
inuention
of
his
wife
.
Howbeit
what
for
the
loue
he
bare
hir
(
bicause
she
was
woorth
the
looking
on
ywis
)
and
for
that
he
was
but
a
rude
fellowe
to
beholde
,
and
thought
himselfe
scant
worthie
of
hir
,
and
that
he
had
maried
hir
,
pyning
away
for
hir
sake
:
he
thought
it
better
to
carie
such
things
in
hys
brest
than
in
his
heade
,
and
the
rather
peraduenture
bicause
he
doubted
false
measure
,
fearing
his
parteners
yll
will
that
farmed
hys
grounde
at
halfes
with
him
:
in
fine
,
he
was
contented
to
bite
it
in
for
the
time
,
determining
not
to
be
at
charges
with
other
mens
children
.
So
one
day
spying
time
and
place
,
he
caried
out
of
the
dores
with
him
this
little
Boy
White
:
and
such
was
his
walke
that
the
Boy
was
neuer
more
heard
of
,
nor
séene
after
that
.
The
woman
looked
and
looked
againe
to
sée
hir
sonne
returne
with
hir
husbande
.
But
séeing
hir
husbande
come
home
without
him
,
Conie
sayth
shée
to
him
:
I
praye
thée
what
hast
thou
done
with
my
Boy
?
Hir
husband
that
had
bought
his
wyt
so
deare
,
aunswered
hir
.
A
swéete
Musse
,
the
other
day
vnaduisedly
(
I
confesse
it
)
I
caried
him
abrode
with
me
,
and
we
walked
a
great
whyle
in
the
Sunne
togithers
,
and
thou
knowest
how
hote
it
was
two
dayes
ago
(
alack
that
I
should
tell
it
thee
)
the
heate
of
the
Sunne
hath
quite
dissolued
him
.
And
then
I
founde
thy
wordes
true
which
before
I
hardly
beléeued
.
Alas
poore
wretch
,
he
sodainely
turned
all
into
water
,
that
wo
is
me
.
His
Musse
hearing
this
,
in
a
rage
flong
hir
away
,
and
left
Conie
all
alone
,
so
he
neuer
after
sawe
hir
.
ALthough
I
be
brother
to
thée
by
the
Fathers
side
,
I
maye
not
,
nor
will
not
trust
thée
an
ynche
,
nor
deale
with
thée
for
pinnes
.
For
he
that
hurteth
his
friende
,
wyll
not
spare
to
hurt
his
brother
:
&
he
that
hath
once
deceyued
,
knoweth
how
to
deceyue
againe
.
But
well
,
once
warned
halfe
armed
they
say
.
I
trow
I
wil
beware
of
thée
well
ynough
.
Thou
shalt
not
colt
me
be
sure
,
as
the
Merchaunt
was
colted
by
an
euill
companion
of
his
whom
he
trusted
:
and
this
once
tolde
thée
,
wée
will
shake
handes
and
then
adue
.
THis
craftie
fellowe
(
but
not
so
subtill
as
he
tooke
himselfe
for
)
reioyced
at
these
wordes
,
supposing
the
Merchaunt
had
passed
no
more
for
the
matter
,
and
so
was
pacified
:
whervpon
he
did
conuite
him
the
next
day
to
dinner
to
him
,
and
the
Merchaunt
accepted
his
bidding
willingly
.
Howbeit
he
studied
all
night
to
serue
him
as
good
a
turne
,
and
he
coulde
at
least
,
to
be
reuenged
at
once
of
his
losse
and
mockes
,
without
complayning
to
the
Iustice
of
his
wrong
:
and
sure
he
showed
him
a
right
Northfolke
tricke
,
and
this
was
the
iest
.
WHy
then
doest
thou
thinke
with
other
new
and
straunge
deuises
yet
to
occupie
the
Kings
heade
?
I
besech
God
he
may
once
pay
thée
home
.
But
I
would
aduise
thée
,
looke
well
to
thy selfe
.
For
thou
shalt
finde
great
difference
betwéene
such
a
beast
as
he
is
,
and
another
foolish
little
beast
that
will
easily
beléeue
thee
.
Vnlesse
thou
wouldest
saye
to
me
,
that
bicause
thou
hast
done
the
most
,
thou
shalt
haue
the
least
.
To
this
I
replie
.
That
one
paye
payeth
all
.
And
a
little
theft
hangeth
vp
the
théefe
for
many
a
great
robbery
.
I
haue
sayde
to
thée
for
this
time
,
and
now
farewell
.
THe
Lyon
therefore
did
amisse
to
kill
the
Bull
,
suffering
him selfe
and
his
iudgement
to
be
abused
and
ouertaken
,
by
the
deuilish
and
subtill
practises
of
the
trayterous
Moyle
.
In
somuch
as
when
his
choler
was
ouer
,
and
that
he
had
wreaked
his
anger
of
him
,
cruelly
putting
the
guiltlesse
beast
to
death
:
he
then
to
late
looked
backe
on
his
bloudie
déede
,
and
repented
him
of
his
rage
,
knowing
he
had
not
done
well
to
kill
so
wyse
a
subiect
,
and
so
graue
a
counseller
.
His
conscience
griped
him
at
the
hart
to
thinke
he
had
no
lawfull
cause
to
vse
such
crueltie
to
him
.
Such
inwarde
thoughtes
drawe
déepe
,
and
touche
the
quicke
,
and
can
hardly
be
holden
in
and
kept
secrete
.
So
that
the
Kinges
heart
burning
thus
,
out
he
burst
a
fewe
wordes
,
which
made
the
Moyles
eares
glowe
:
as
that
péece
of
wicked
flesh
,
that
alwayes
gaue
attentiue
eare
,
and
looked
to
be
payde
home
.
So
that
vpon
a
sodeine
,
to
take
awaye
these
thoughtes
from
the
King
,
and
that
he
should
not
thinke
to
much
vppon
them
,
besides
that
to
continue
him
still
in
his
errour
:
he
ranne
to
the
Court
,
and
downe
he
fell
on
his
knées
before
the
Kinge
,
and
with
all
humilitie
he
sayd
.
Most
mightie
and
noble
Prince
,
thou
hast
brought
thy
desires
now
to
an
ende
.
The
Gods
that
day
did
blesse
thee
,
in
which
they
gaue
thée
honorable
victorie
,
when
thou
ouercamest
so
great
and
stronge
an
enimie
.
The
worlde
,
victorious
Prince
,
woondereth
,
that
thou
hauing
(
I
meane
)
cause
to
reioyce
art
so
sadde
and
full
of
pensiuenesse
.
Oh
sayde
the
Lyon
,
when
I
thinke
of
the
cruell
and
violent
death
of
without
cause
,
I
am
ready
to
eate
my
fingers
for
sorrow
.
And
continually
I
thinke
of
the
great
wit
he
had
,
of
his
graue
and
prudent
counsell
,
indowed
besides
with
many
noble
gifts
and
maners
.
And
to
conclude
,
I
must
tell
thée
plainely
,
I
cannot
comfort
my selfe
,
nor
be
in
quiet
,
when
I
examine
the
cause
of
his
death
.
For
many
things
runnes
in
my
heade
to
perswade
me
that
things
were
otherwise
than
I
tooke
them
,
and
that
he
had
wrong
.
But
nowe
I
knowe
,
that
that
my
father
sayde
so
oft
is
●●…ue
.
That
a
thing
oft
thought
vpon
,
can
seldome
misse
but
it
falleth
out
true
.
LArge
,
great
,
wonderfull
,
and
infinite
are
the
wayes
to
offende
,
and
innumerable
are
the
snares
and
deuises
that
one
wicked
and
naughtie
disposed
person
may
deuise
and
spread
abrode
,
to
ketch
a
good
and
true
meaning
man
,
to
ouerthrow
him
quite
.
And
there
is
not
so
straight
a
friendship
but
is
easie
to
be
broken
,
with
the
hand
of
naughty
procéeding
.
As
I
haue
proued
it
.
If
I
coulde
but
write
all
the
things
that
haue
happened
,
the
tales
that
haue
bene
tolde
,
and
the
long
wouen
cloth
:
I
should
teache
Princes
howe
they
shoulde
doe
in
all
their
matters
,
and
woulde
make
them
sée
the
discretion
that
many
haue
lost
,
and
what
waye
they
should
take
not
to
fall
into
these
Courtly
flatterers
.
Those
that
beare
office
,
and
haue
charge
ouer
others
,
ought
diligently
to
searche
out
the
troth
of
thinges
:
and
not
to
goe
as
Flies
without
heades
,
and
lightly
to
turne
and
chaunge
as
the
wauering
weather
Cock
with
euery
winde
.
Truely
it
is
a
fowle
fault
in
meane
men
to
giue
easie
eare
to
flatterers
,
but
in
great
persons
it
is
a
farre
greater
fault
,
&
in
Princes
chiefly
a
thing
of
most
detect
and
slaunder
,
and
of
extréeme
crueltie
.
Nowe
I
come
to
knowe
plainlye
,
what
a
great
burden
is
layde
on
the
peoples
backes
,
that
are
gouerned
by
a
Prince
of
small
consideration
and
iudgement
:
and
in
what
daunger
their
persons
are
,
besides
the
griefe
their
conscience
giueth
them
for
their
state
.
O
poore
people
,
how
many
thousands
of
ye
recommended
vnder
the
scepter
of
such
iustice
?
Ought
not
Princes
to
be
like
vnto
God
?
and
if
God
will
take
account
of
all
things
at
his
will
(
be
they
neuer
so
little
)
why
should
not
the
Kynge
among
his
subiectes
also
doe
the
lyke
?
The
wickednesse
of
Ministers
and
officers
(
if
so
it
were
)
woulde
not
then
runne
on
so
farre
as
it
doth
vnpunished
.
O
little
faith
to
Gods
lawes
.
O
little
labor
for
a
man
to
knowe
himselfe
.
Where
we
thinke
goodnesse
only
harboreth
,
thence
procéedeth
all
vice
and
wickednesse
:
and
where
we
beléeue
troth
is
lodged
,
there
sléepeth
deceyt
.
Who
would
not
haue
beléeued
that
in
this
Court
vertue
had
remayned
?
but
alas
here
is
the
only
Court
of
vice
.
In
outwarde
lookes
euerie
one
séemeth
to
carie
troth
:
but
in
the
inwarde
brests
is
hid
all
dissimulation
and
vntroth
.
Thrée
things
there
are
which
are
vnite
togithers
,
and
should
neuer
be
out
of
the
Princes
minde
:
To
wit
.
To
loue
God
,
his
neighbour
,
and
to
gouerne
himselfe
.
And
thrée
other
things
also
there
are
for
the
subiects
to
obserue
vnto
their
Prince
.
Loue
,
fayth
,
and
obedience
.
But
euery
one
I
sée
hath
forgotten
them
,
from
high
to
lowe
.
This
world
then
being
so
full
of
daungers
and
deceytes
as
it
is
,
what
man
is
he
alyue
so
wyse
can
keepe
himselfe
from
them
?
WHen
this
generall
Counsell
was
called
,
where
all
the
great
Lordes
of
his
Realme
,
and
the
wysest
of
the
Commons
,
with
all
the
souldiours
were
assembled
,
he
also
sent
for
his
Mother
.
Shée
looking
all
the
beastes
in
the
face
that
were
present
,
&
missing
the
Moyle
,
caused
him
streight
to
be
sent
for
.
So
he
came
forthwith
.
But
when
he
was
come
to
the
Pallace
,
and
saw
the
Parliament
house
furnished
with
all
the
Colledge
of
beastes
:
then
he
knewe
the
Princes
indignation
,
when
looking
vpon
him
earnestly
he
saw
his
colour
chaunge
,
and
that
his
conscience
gnawed
him
for
the
death
of
the
Bull.
Now
the
Moyle
knowing
himselfe
guiltie
,
began
to
whet
his
wittes
,
and
drawing
néere
to
certaine
of
the
great
Lordes
that
stoode
rounde
about
the
Quéene
mother
,
hée
sayde
vnto
them
.
Lorde
what
ayleth
our
noble
King
?
what
is
the
cause
of
this
conuention
here
?
how
commeth
it
he
is
thus
malencholy
?
What
,
is
there
any
sodeine
or
straunge
accident
happened
in
the
Court
,
that
we
may
knowe
the
cause
?
the
Counsell
hath
bene
called
very
sodainly
.
The
Quéene
mother
aunswered
streight
.
Thou
néedest
not
marueyle
ywis
at
the
Kings
heauinesse
.
For
thou
knowest
well
ynough
(
hauing
giuen
him
the
cause
)
his
sadnesse
,
which
with
thy
swéete
sugred
wordes
hast
giuen
him
bitter
gall
.
Tell
me
I
pray
thée
?
canst
thou
tell
who
was
cause
of
the
death
of
the
most
noble
and
worthie
knight
of
our
Court
?
Was
it
thou
perhaps
?
But
the
Moyle
(
as
stoute
as
Golyas
)
without
any
blushing
aunswered
streight
.
a
fortiore
THis
Moyle
in
his
wordes
séemed
to
be
the
best
beast
of
the
world
,
and
those
that
lyke
straungers
heard
him
,
and
knew
not
his
Moylish
nature
(
a
vile
traitour
Moile
,
a
whoreson
cankred
Moyle
,
that
let
a
man
kéepe
him
in
the
stable
.xxv.
yeares
,
and
make
neuer
so
much
of
him
:
in
the
end
,
for
a
farewell
,
and
that
on
a
sodeine
(
when
a
man
thinketh
not
of
it
)
he
will
yerke
out
behinde
and
put
him
in
daunger
of
his
life
,
)
were
very
sorie
for
his
trouble
,
and
did
pitie
his
case
.
He
that
by
nature
was
borne
subtill
and
craftie
,
perceiuing
a
little
parcialitie
amongst
them
,
and
that
he
had
reasonable
audience
:
went
about
streight
to
intricate
the
house
,
and
so
began
a
tale
like
vnto
this
,
still
drawing
water
to
his
Myll
.
IF
thy
déedes
were
as
good
as
thy
wordes
,
my
sonne
shoulde
not
be
thus
grieued
nor
offended
:
nor
the
poore
Bull
had
bene
nowe
deade
.
But
thy
double
dealings
and
prittle
prattle
,
who
did
but
giue
eare
vnto
thée
,
(
and
beléeued
thée
)
not
knowing
thée
,
are
ynough
to
turne
the
Court
topsie turuie
.
As
thou
diddest
heretofore
to
,
who
come
home
thou
madest
him
beléeue
(
bicause
his
wife
woulde
not
graunt
thy
vnhonest
desire
)
that
she
was
naught
:
so
that
vpon
thy
wordes
he
fell
vppon
hir
with
his
féete
,
and
pashed
hir
to
death
.
Then
to
late
repenting
his
fault
,
he
heaped
one
yll
on
another
:
for
he
made
all
his
Concubines
to
bée
burnt
.
And
all
this
came
of
thy
cursed
wordes
.
Therefore
it
is
best
for
euerye
man
not
to
haue
thy
friendship
.
With
that
he
lifted
vp
his
eares
,
and
with
open
mouth
thus
aunswered
.
THen
the
King
called
a
certaine
fierce
beast
,
and
vgly
monster
to
beholde
,
begotten
of
a
Satire
and
of
a
Griffin
,
and
he
made
him
take
a
chaine
and
chaine
the
Moyle
.
The
Moyle
seing
so
horrible
a
borned
beast
come
towardes
him
,
let
fall
his
tayle
for
feare
and
sorrow
both
,
and
thus
of
this
hellish
furie
he
was
chained
,
and
caried
to
prison
,
and
as
ye
shall
heare
safely
kept
and
examined
.
NOwe
when
Fame
had
blowne
abrode
the
Moyles
imprisonment
,
and
comming
to
the
Asses
eares
his
brother
,
hée
ranne
vnto
the
prison
,
and
his
heart
panted
,
and
bet
marueylously
:
as
that
Asse
that
knewe
howe
this
geare
was
brought
about
,
and
he
tolde
the
Moyle
.
Our
playe
nowe
is
like
to
the
playe
of
the
two
brethren
,
that
hauing
two
Balles
in
their
handes
,
they
gaue
them
ech
into
others
handes
,
and
they
were
both
made
of
one
fashion
and
bignesse
:
so
that
in
the
ende
to
choose
this
or
that
they
saw
it
was
all
one
,
there
was
no
choyce
in
neyther
.
To
haue
thée
in
prison
,
alas
it
troubleth
me
:
and
to
haue
thée
abrode
also
it
grieueth
me
.
All
commeth
to
one
reckening
.
And
with
that
for
kindenesse
he
burst
out
in
teares
,
and
wept
bitterly
.
But
afterwardes
seing
him
with
the
chaine
about
his
necke
,
he
quaked
for
feare
,
and
layde
him
downe
on
the
grounde
,
crying
out
in
his
Asses
maner
,
and
sayde
.
O
brother
Moyle
,
what
case
art
thou
in
now
?
Alas
there
is
no
more
time
to
reproue
thée
now
,
bicause
there
is
no
remedie
,
as
fewe
dayes
agoe
there
was
,
when
thou
mightest
haue
cancelled
all
:
but
thou
like
an
Asseheaded
foole
,
that
mightest
haue
cléered
the
countrie
(
knowing
thy selfe
to
be
guilty
)
why
didst
thou
not
take
thée
to
thy
legs
?
Thou
despisedst
my
counsels
to
thée
,
&
yet
they
were
good
if
thou
hadst
had
grace
to
haue
taken
them
.
It
is
true
that
is
spoken
by
the
mouth
of
beasts
that
haue
vnderstanding
.
That
the
false
and
vntrue
man
dyeth
before
his
time
.
As
me
thinketh
I
sée
by
the
Element
will
happen
to
thée
.
And
this
for
none
other
but
for
thine
insolencie
,
and
naughtinesse
:
and
thy
craftes
and
deceytes
hath
brought
thée
to
this
trouble
.
O
how
happie
haddest
thou
bene
if
thou
haddest
dyed
in
thy
birth
?
Cursed
,
and
wo
worth
be
thy
false
knowledge
and
enuye
of
others
weale
and
prosperitie
:
which
onely
is
it
hath
brought
thée
to
this
infamous
ende
.
Then
the
Moyle
relented
,
and
breaking
out
in
teares
also
,
aunswered
.
AL
the
beasts
got
them
into
the
Parliament
house
,
and
euery
one
tooke
his
place
according
to
his
degrée
,
and
sate
them
downe
:
and
the
house
being
set
,
there
was
brought
before
them
in
chaines
this
solemne
traytor
the
Moyle
.
And
when
he
was
come
before
the
presence
of
such
a
sight
of
Asses
and
fooles
,
the
Libbard
standeth
vp
,
&
speaketh
.
Right
honorable
,
it
is
yet
fresh
in
memorie
,
that
the
King
killed
the
poore
innocent
,
so
that
from
that
time
hitherto
his
Maiestie
hath
not
bene
quieted
in
his
minde
,
that
hée
put
him
to
death
by
the
false
accusation
and
enuie
of
my
Lorde
the
Moyle
.
His
Maiestie
therefore
hath
liked
to
call
vs
to
Parliament
,
that
euery
one
of
vs
should
witnesse
the
troth
,
if
we
knowe
or
haue
heard
any
thing
of
his
doings
,
in
what
maner
he
did
it
,
what
Arte
he
vsed
,
with
whom
he
practised
,
and
by
whom
he
was
assisted
in
this
great
treason
,
to
bring
his
wicked
minde
to
purpose
.
Euery
one
of
vs
is
bound
that
knoweth
ought
to
vtter
it
,
for
the
preseruation
of
the
Realme
,
and
his
Maiesties
most
royall
person
.
And
then
by
iustice
it
is
méete
such
traytors
shoulde
be
punished
,
and
the
good
rewarded
:
by
meanes
wherof
the
good
may
liue
vnder
his
Maiesties
reigne
and
gouernement
with
safetie
,
and
the
yll
be
rooted
out
and
cut
off
from
the
common
weale
.
Euery
one
looked
other
in
the
face
,
and
helde
their
peace
.
The
vnhappie
Moyle
,
perceyuing
that
euerie
bodie
was
ashamed
to
take
vppon
them
to
tell
so
yll
a
tale
,
cut
off
Fortune
by
the
waste
euen
at
that
pinche
,
and
stepped
to
the
matter
himselfe
,
rising
vp
vpon
his
féete
(
being
set
before
)
and
boldly
sayd
these
words
.
RIght
Reuerent
and
Honorable
audience
,
ye
are
very
well
met
in
this
place
.
Our
olde
auncient
fathers
that
wrote
many
bookes
of
Phisiognomie
,
(
of
the
which
I
thanke
the
King
I
haue
greased
a
good
number
,
bicause
I
studied
oftentimes
in
the
Kitchin
)
do
tell
vs
many
things
,
and
gaue
vs
diuers
tokens
to
knowe
beastes
and
men
,
whereby
we
knowing
them
to
be
good
or
bad
,
they
should
accordingly
be
rewarded
or
punished
.
,
I
meane
so
,
to
practise
with
the
good
,
and
to
flie
the
companie
of
the
euill
.
So
it
is
,
yea
marrie
is
it
,
in
faith
I
am
sure
of
it
I.
Nowe
for
that
I
haue
studied
,
and
according
to
my
skyll
,
(
I
tell
yée
my
Lordes
,
I
can
not
dissemble
)
I
finde
our
solemne
Moyle
here
to
haue
manye
yll
partes
in
this
matter
,
which
showe
him
in
all
and
for
all
to
be
enuious
,
false
,
and
a
traytor
:
leauing
out
that
he
is
verye
cruell
,
and
wickedly
bent
besides
.
And
ye
marke
him
,
he
euer
looketh
hier
with
his
left
eye
than
his
right
,
and
his
nostrels
he
turneth
still
to
the
right
side
,
with
his
eiebrowes
verye
thicke
and
long
of
heares
,
and
continually
he
looketh
on
the
grounde
,
which
are
manifest
tokens
he
is
a
traitor
:
and
all
these
signes
(
looke
ye
on
him
that
list
)
ye
shall
sée
him
haue
them
rightly
I
warrant
ye
.
The
Moyle
séeing
the
Swyne
groyne
with
so
yll
a
grace
,
although
he
was
euen
almost
grauelled
and
out
of
countenance
,
yet
he
turned
to
him
and
replied
.
THe
Hogge
séeing
himselfe
thus
well
payde
home
in
words
againe
,
was
glad
to
holde
his
peace
:
and
after
that
neuer
a
one
durst
once
speake
a
word
any
more
.
Thus
for
that
time
there
was
nothing
else
determined
,
but
that
the
Moyle
was
caried
againe
to
prison
by
a
Beare
,
who
safely
kept
him
,
and
looked
to
him
.
And
now
being
the
second
time
againe
clapped
into
prison
,
there
came
to
the
Court
a
great
friend
of
the
Asse
his
brothers
,
who
finding
him
deade
,
came
to
aduertise
the
Moyle
his
brother
being
in
prison
,
and
was
verie
sorie
for
the
death
of
the
Asse
,
which
the
Moyle
had
not
hearde
of
all
this
while
till
nowe
:
and
the
Moyle
tooke
it
so
inwardly
that
it
pierced
his
heart
,
and
néedes
die
he
would
.
So
turning
him
to
his
friende
,
which
was
a
Foxe
well
stricken
in
yeares
,
he
sayde
to
him
.
Brother
I
am
determined
to
die
,
and
will
make
thée
mine
heyre
.
And
making
him
get
Penne
,
Inke
,
and
Paper
,
he
made
his
Will
and
bade
him
write
,
and
bequeathed
him
all
he
had
:
which
was
a
rich
furniture
.
A
double
Coller
with
thrée
Basenets
.
A
Mosell
netwise
for
his
mouth
with
a
bit
to
the
same
.
A
coller
of
leather
hungrie
to
hang
ouer
his
necke
with
belles
,
a
broade
Pattrell
with
diuers
coloured
fringes
made
of
Girth-web
and
Canvas
.
A
Basse
,
a
great
Crouper
of
wood
,
a
Sowser
,
a
Charger
,
and
mayling
cordes
.
A
broade
long
Want
,
a
tying
Coller
,
a
paire
of
Pastornes
,
and
a
Tranell
:
with
other
ciuill
furnitures
pertinent
to
his
estate
.
And
then
he
confessed
all
,
and
tolde
him
his
wicked
practises
and
treason
,
and
that
he
onely
(
yea
marrie
was
he
)
was
the
cause
of
all
this
sturre
.
The
Foxe
thanked
him
hartily
,
and
offered
to
helpe
him
with
the
King
,
and
to
trauell
for
him
the
best
he
coulde
,
bicause
he
was
his
chiefe
Secretarie
in
Court
and
out
of
Court
:
and
so
departed
from
him
.
And
he
was
no
sooner
out
of
his
sight
,
but
bicause
he
was
in
déede
made
heyre
of
that
he
had
,
he
went
to
the
Lyonesse
and
Lybbarde
,
and
there
confirmed
the
testament
hereditarie
of
the
Moyle
.
And
to
further
his
desire
(
who
desired
to
die
)
he
reuealed
it
,
and
accused
the
