A
merrie
Dialogue
betwixt
two
Trauellers
.
Dorindo
,
and
Lorenzo
.
LORENZO
well
met
,
how
doest
thou
this
faire
morning
?
Lor.
A
thousand
good
morrowes
to
mine
honest
Dorindo
:
but
how
goes
the
world
man
?
no
newes
stirring
worth
the
hearing
?
Dor.
More
then
are
true
,
or
worth
the
telling
:
and
therefore
I
had
as
leeue
hold
my
peace
,
as
haue
no
thankes
for
my
tatling
:
but
I
pray
thee
tell
me
,
where
hast
thou
bene
this
many
a
day
?
I
heard
that
thou
hast
bene
ouer
the
water
,
I
know
not
how
farre
.
Lor.
Indeed
the
sea
is
a
pretie
brooke
to
wade
thorough
,
and
a
yeares
trauell
will
treade
a
pretie
peece
of
ground
:
but
to
tell
you
where
I
haue
bene
,
I
cannot
;
for
my
way
was
long
,
and
my
memorie
is
short
:
but
had
I
time
to
tell
thee
that
which
I
could
,
(
at
least
if
my
memorie
would
serue
me
)
I
should
make
thee
like
the
better
of
home
,
and
the
worse
of
trauell
while
thou
liuest
.
Dor.
And
why
,
I
pray
thee
?
Lor.
It
is
not
so
soone
answered
,
but
rather
let
me
say
,
why
not
?
For
much
daunger
,
and
more
feare
,
litle
safetie
and
lesse
gaine
,
made
me
wish
either
to
haue
knowne
lesse
,
or
somwhat
more
worth
the
knowing
.
Lor.
I
pray
thee
why
?
were
thine
eyes
not
matches
,
or
thy
wits
out
of
order
?
Dor.
Truely
whether
the
fault
be
in
my
wits
,
or
mine
eyes
,
I
know
not
:
but
I
am
sure
I
was
so
ouertaken
in
mistaking
of
euery
match
that
I
met
withall
,
that
I
had
as
leeue
almost
be
an
Ignorant
,
as
deceiue
my selfe
with
imagination
.
Lor.
True
,
for
as
good
to
lose
thoughts
,
as
to
lose
by
them
:
but
whence
or
whereupon
grew
this
griefe
of
yours
?
Dor.
I
tell
you
by
mistaking
.
Lor.
But
how
I
pray
you
?
Dor.
Why
,
the
first
thing
that
I
was
mistaken
in
,
was
my selfe
:
in
whome
I
was
the
most
mistaken
of
any
thing
in
the
world
.
For
,
with
onely
a
litle
obseruation
,
I
was
perswaded
,
that
there
was
no
matter
of
woorth
,
but
I
had
it
by
heart
;
and
for
trifles
,
I
wold
not
be
troubled
with
them
:
but
,
when
that
reason
came
to
ripping
vp
of
the
secrets
of
wisdomes
intelligence
,
I
saw
my
wit
so
wilfull
,
that
I
was
mistaken
in
all
matters
that
I
met
with
.
Lor.
What
,
men
,
women
and
children
?
Dor.
Yea
,
onely
in
them
:
for
touching
other
creatures
,
I
made
no
great
care
of
my
conceipt
of
them
.
But
now
to
tell
thee
,
in
my
trauels
how
I
was
mistaken
:
to
runne
ouer
all
my
courses
,
it
were
too
tedious
,
let
suffice
as
much
as
may
make
thee
mery
to
heare
,
and
wise
to
remember
.
First
,
when
I
left
my
countrie
and
came
a
boord
the
Buon-à-venture
,
we
had
no
sooner
weighed
anker
,
hoissed
sailes
,
and
put
to
sea
,
but
with
a
fresh
gale
of
wind
,
and
faire
weather
,
we
were
so
merie
aboue
hatches
,
that
me
thought
there
was
none
so
merie
aliue
as
the
saylers
.
But
we
had
not
thus
passed
fiue
leagues
,
till
the
skie
was
ouercast
,
the
wind
came
about
and
grew
high
,
the
aire
thicke
and
foggie
,
and
the
drizling
raine
came
so
beating
in
our
faces
,
that
we
were
glad
to
get
vnder
hatches
:
where
we
were
scarcely
set
in
our
Cabines
,
but
the
tempest
grew
so
great
,
the
winds
so
rough
,
and
the
waues
so
high
,
that
we
were
glad
with
throwing
out
almost
all
the
goods
into
the
sea
,
to
saue
our
liues
in
the
bare
vessell
.
Now
when
I
came
on
shore
,
well
moiled
and
poore
,
hauing
lost
all
that
I
had
abord
,
more
then
a
litle
mony
in
my
purse
,
which
was
so
litle
,
as
that
I
will
say
litle
of
it
:
I
beganne
to
thinke
with
my selfe
how
I
was
mistaken
,
to
thinke
,
that
one
faire
day
,
and
a
litle
faire
weather
,
could
make
me
think
,
that
the
saylers
life
(
which
euery
minute
is
subiect
to
daunger
of
one
harme
or
other
,
and
betwixt
a
bord
and
the
water
,
hath
a
walke
,
but
in
a
short
and
vnsteadie
roome
)
should
be
compared
to
the
land
life
,
where
there
is
pleasure
in
the
faire
weather
,
and
shilter
against
the
foule
,
and
no
feare
of
wind
nor
water
,
nor
many
other
daungers
which
I
will
omit
to
speake
of
.
And
in
steade
of
a
whirle
poole
in
the
water
,
a
walke
large
enough
to
walke
man
and
horse
too
,
till
they
were
both
wearie
.
Nowe
here
was
my
first
mistaking
.
Lor.
It
may
be
,
if
the
weather
had
held
faire
,
and
that
you
had
met
with
a
good
prize
,
you
would
not
haue
thought
your selfe
mistaken
in
the
merie
life
of
the
mariner
.
Dor.
Indeed
sometime
the
ioy
of
taking
,
helpes
the
miserie
of
mistaking
.
Lor.
Yea
,
but
when
the
theefe
that
hath
taken
a
purse
,
if
he
be
ouertaken
in
the
high
way
,
and
so
take
the
gallowes
for
his
Inne
,
that
ioyfull
taking
in
the
beginning
brings
a
sorrowfull
mistaking
in
the
end
.
Dor.
Well
,
as
for
that
part
,
it
is
none
of
my
play
,
and
therefore
I
will
leaue
it
to
them
that
loue
it
.
Now
to
tell
thee
of
my
second
mistaking
.
When
I
had
bene
a
litle
on
shore
,
had
weathered
my selfe
,
dried
my
clothes
,
filled
my
belly
,
and
emptied
my
purse
,
I
now
beganne
to
thinke
how
my
wits
should
worke
for
my
welfare
:
and
first
,
intending
to
seeke
intertainment
of
some
Noble
person
,
that
would
honourably
looke
into
the
vertues
,
valour
,
and
good
qualities
of
a
good
mind
,
I
began
to
put
on
a
resolution
to
aduenture
any
fortune
,
and
indure
any
discomfort
,
that
might
be
a
hinderance
to
my
happines
.
And
with
this
resolution
trauelling
till
I
was
wearie
,
almost
penilesse
,
and
exceedingly
hungrie
,
I
came
to
the
view
of
a
goodly
,
faire
,
&
gorgeously
built
house
,
which
stood
as
it
were
a
mile
from
a
citie
neare
adioyning
.
Now
in
hope
there
to
find
some
such
person
,
as
I
before
spake
of
,
I
began
to
rowze
vp
my selfe
,
as
one
that
had
an
assured
hope
,
at
least
of
some
good
victuall
,
I
meane
of
a
good
dinner
scot-free
,
howsoeuer
otherwise
fortune
would
be
my
friend
.
When
,
ere
I
would
approach
too
neare
the
house
,
lest
I
should
be
seene
in
any
vnfit
manner
,
I
combed
my
beard
,
gartered
vp
my
stockings
,
trussed
euery
point
,
buttoned
euery
button
,
and
made
my selfe
readie
in
the
best
maner
I
could
,
to
appeare
before
the
presence
of
such
as
I
should
meete
withall
in
this
gallant
mansion
.
But
when
I
came
neare
vnto
the
house
,
and
finding
the
doore
shut
,
I
did
imagine
(
being
about
the
mid
time
of
the
day
)
that
the
seruants
were
all
at
dinner
,
and
the
lord
of
the
house
either
laid
downe
to
sleepe
,
or
gone
into
his
closet
,
to
talke
vpon
some
accounts
with
his
ladie
:
but
hearing
no
sound
of
any
noise
,
nor
voice
within
of
either
man
or
dogge
,
I
feared
some
ill
fortune
,
that
there
was
some
great
sicknesse
,
or
daunger
of
death
that
might
dampe
the
spirits
,
and
so
cause
the
sorrow
of
the
whole
house
:
but
staying
awhile
,
and
neither
hearing
any
voice
within
,
nor
any
poore
creature
without
at
the
gate
,
that
might
hope
of
almes
from
the
hall
,
I
feared
the
charitie
within
was
so
litle
,
that
my
comfort
without
would
be
according
:
but
after
that
I
had
stood
awhile
,
loth
to
lose
time
,
I
knocked
at
the
doore
;
where
I
knocked
long
,
before
I
had
any
answer
,
and
in
the
end
was
saluted
at
a
windowe
farre
within
by
an
old
fellow
,
who
it
should
seeme
,
to
saue
a
groat
had
slept
out
his
dinner
;
whose
speech
(
with
a
wide
mouth
gaped
out
)
was
this
:
What
lacke
you
?
My
friend
(
quoth
I
)
I
pray
you
let
me
speake
with
you
.
No
(
quoth
he
)
I
cannot
come
downe
,
I
am
busie
,
my
maister
is
not
at
home
,
and
here
is
no
bodie
in
the
house
but
I
and
my
wife
,
and
she
is
not
well
:
but
say
your
errand
and
I
will
heare
you
.
My
errand
thought
I
,
was
there
euer
such
a
kennell
for
such
a
curre
?
doth
he
take
me
for
some
sorie
fellow
,
or
hath
he
no
better
kind
of
greeting
for
strangers
?
And
thus
while
I
stood
musing
and
fretting
at
my
fortune
and
this
bad
fellow
,
he
shut
the
window
:
and
I
with
a
sigh
,
to
see
how
I
was
mistaken
in
this
faire
house
,
turning
me
from
it
,
I
met
with
a
foole
in
a
pyed
coate
,
who
looking
vpon
me
after
he
had
ouerlaughed
himselfe
,
told
me
:
Sir
,
you
are
mistaken
,
this
is
a
banquetting
house
,
where
the
gazers
are
onely
fed
with
conceipts
,
for
there
is
not
a
chimney
that
smokes
,
nor
a
doore
open
,
it
is
called
Mock-begger
,
ha
,
ha
,
ha
.
Now
when
the
foole
went
thus
laughing
away
,
and
left
me
more
foole
to
tarie
there
.
Before
I
stirred
my
foote
,
out
of
my
pocket
I
tooke
my
table
booke
,
in
which
I
writ
downe
my
second
mistaking
.
Lor.
Indeed
this
is
too
common
a
mistaking
in
many
countries
,
but
it
may
be
you
might
haue
taken
it
in
such
a
time
,
as
might
haue
giuen
you
cause
to
haue
spoken
better
of
it
:
but
indeed
faire
houses
are
for
rich
men
,
and
cottages
for
the
poore
:
and
therefore
being
in
that
predicament
,
it
is
no
maruell
you
had
no
better
entertainement
.
But
I
pray
you
proceed
with
your
trauell
.
Dor.
I
will
tell
you
,
melancholy
walking
a
litle
from
this
Mocke-begger
,
I
began
to
frame
my selfe
to
the
humour
of
a
cunning
begger
:
when
meeting
with
a
graue
old
man
(
who
by
his
veluet
coate
,
his
golden
chaine
,
and
his
rich
furred
gowne
should
seeme
to
be
at
the
least
some
rich
Burgor
,
if
not
some
Burga-maister
of
some
city
)
this
well
apparelled
picture
with
a
kind
of
life
that
gaue
the
body
leaue
to
cary
the
head
vpon
a
square
paire
of
shouldiers
,
I
in
hope
to
find
more
comfortable
then
the
faire
house
maister
Mocke-begger
,
I
saluted
with
a
great
reuerence
;
&
requited
with
a
proud
nod
,
I
yet
aduentured
to
bord
with
a
few
words
.
When
hoping
to
haue
found
him
a
man
of
no
lesse
vnderstanding
spirit
,
to
iudge
of
the
estate
and
conditions
of
men
,
then
bounty
,
in
the
reliefe
of
the
vnfortunatly
distressed
,
I
fell
aboord
with
him
with
these
words
.
Sir
,
I
thinke
you
haue
heard
of
the
hard
fortune
of
the
Buon-auenture
,
who
put
into
your
harbor
this
other
night
,
hardly
sauing
her
life
,
with
losse
of
all
her
goods
,
and
some
of
her
peoole
.
My selfe
,
with
much
ado
well
weather-beaten
as
you
may
see
,
with
some
few
that
lie
sicke
in
the
hauen
,
got
to
shore
,
and
am
now
trauelling
towards
your
city
here
before
me
.
Loth
I
am
to
enter
into
any
base
course
for
my
comfort
:
but
,
if
I
might
be
beholding
to
your
good
fauour
,
in
this
time
of
my
distresse
,
giuing
me
your
name
withall
,
I
doubt
not
if
I
liue
,
but
either
by
my selfe
,
or
my
better
friends
,
to
find
a
time
,
either
to
requite
or
deserue
it
.
He
,
as
one
whose
heart
was
so
shut
vp
in
his
purse
,
that
he
vnderstood
nothing
but
ware
and
money
,
after
a
harsh
humme
,
or
two
,
gaue
me
this
answer
:
Was
there
nothing
saued
of
her
goods
I
pray
you
?
what
was
her
fraught
?
Sit
,
quoth
I
,
it
was
most
silkes
and
spices
,
but
some
pearle
,
and
money
,
more
then
would
haue
bene
willingly
lost
.
Good
commodities
,
quoth
he
;
by
my
fay
,
a
shrewd
mischance
:
I
am
sory
for
ye
,
I
would
I
could
do
ye
good
,
but
I
am
now
in
hast
going
about
a
litle
businesse
,
and
therefore
I
cannot
stand
to
talke
with
you
,
God
be
with
you
;
the
towne
is
hard
before
you
,
you
will
be
there
anon
:
But
,
if
you
haue
any
iewels
or
pearle
that
you
haue
saued
,
I
will
giue
you
mony
for
it
,
if
I
like
it
.
Truly
Sir
,
quoth
I
,
iewels
I
haue
not
many
,
onely
two
rings
on
my
fingers
,
and
this
bracelet
of
pearle
I
haue
saued
:
my
bracelet
cost
me
a
hundreth
crownes
,
if
it
please
you
to
haue
it
of
the
price
it
cost
,
though
against
my
will
,
I
will
part
with
it
.
With
that
vpon
his
bottel
red
nose
he
claps
on
a
paire
of
spectacles
,
and
looking
on
my
pearle
,
found
fault
with
the
roundnesse
,
and
the
clearenesse
,
and
I
know
not
what
else
,
till
at
the
last
,
thinking
to
make
a
gaine
of
my
misery
,
he
offered
me
ten
crownes
:
saying
,
that
he
had
no
need
of
it
;
but
rather
then
be
disfurnished
of
mony
(
being
a
stranger
)
he
would
aduenture
so
much
on
it
:
whereat
,
I
swallowing
a
sigh
,
and
concealing
my
discontent
,
desired
him
to
pardon
me
,
I
hoped
to
find
some
of
my
countrimen
in
the
city
,
that
I
would
be
as
bold
,
as
I
might
withall
.
Thus
,
with
an
idle
word
or
two
,
did
I
leaue
this
good
old
gentleman
,
in
whom
how
much
I
was
,
and
many
moe
,
no
doubt
,
haue
bene
mistaken
,
I
referre
to
the
iudgement
of
those
that
can
spell
him
without
booke
,
&
may
desire
neuer
to
come
neare
him
within
booke
.
This
was
my
third
mistaking
:
to
take
the
shadow
of
a
man
,
and
the
substance
of
a
money-bagge
,
without
charity
,
or
humanitie
,
by
the
hypocriticall
figure
of
grauitie
,
to
be
a
creature
of
vnderstanding
,
a
man
of
honour
,
and
a
blessed
relieuer
of
the
miserable
.
Lor.
Alas
how
many
thousands
are
so
mistaken
?
Why
,
the
blessed
Saints
holinesse
,
the
Martyrs
faithfulnesse
,
the
Virgines
purenesse
,
and
the
prayers
of
the
elect
,
I
haue
heard
,
and
read
of
:
but
I
neuer
heard
of
any
rich
apparell
,
or
chaines
spoken
of
among
them
;
for
God
blesse
vs
from
it
,
some
say
the
diuell
hath
a
chaine
wherein
he
leades
a
number
into
hell
;
but
I
hope
it
is
not
gold
.
I
know
not
that
,
but
I
thinke
not
,
for
murtherers
hang
in
iron
chaines
,
and
therfore
he
wil
not
be
at
cost
with
them
,
all
alike
:
but
how
he
doth
with
the
couetous
,
the
lecherous
,
and
the
ambitious
,
that
knoweth
God
and
not
I.
But
shall
I
tell
you
further
of
my
mistakings
.
Lor.
Yes
,
for
Gods
sake
.
Dor.
Then
let
me
tell
you
.
Lor.
I
had
scarcely
got
within
the
gates
of
the
city
,
but
that
it
was
my
hap
to
meete
with
a
countrey
man
of
mine
owne
,
and
somewhat
of
alliance
vnto
me
.
This
man
at
first
seeming
to
be
glad
to
haue
met
me
in
that
city
,
promising
me
to
bring
me
accquainted
with
some
other
of
my
country
men
,
and
that
he
would
be
ready
to
do
me
all
the
pleasure
he
could
:
this
did
not
a
litle
content
me
,
hoping
that
for
countrey
,
and
kindreds
sake
,
I
should
find
no
litle
friendship
.
But
after
that
he
had
made
me
know
three
or
foure
of
my
country
men
,
and
brought
me
to
an
Inne
,
where
for
my
mony
I
might
lodge
,
neither
inuiting
me
to
dinner
or
supper
,
onely
was
content
to
take
a
cup
of
wine
of
me
,
and
to
tell
me
that
he
hoped
to
drinke
with
me
before
my
going
out
of
towne
:
thus
was
I
mistaken
both
in
kin
and
countrey
,
to
hope
of
any
comfort
.
But
the
next
morning
comming
to
a
tailors
house
(
which
was
likewise
a
countrey
man
of
mine
)
I
had
no
sooner
talked
with
the
good
man
,
about
the
pawning
of
my
bracelet
,
and
taking
vp
of
some
stuffe
for
my
apparell
,
but
his
wife
in
an
inner
roome
,
almost
as
quicke
of
eare
as
of
tongue
,
with
a
wide
gaping
mouth
came
to
vs
with
this
greeting
:
Go
too
,
goodman-goose
,
meddle
with
no
pawning
nor
taking
vp
,
you
haue
payed
inough
for
playing
the
Foole
,
and
yet
will
be
an
Asse
still
?
I
pray
you
wife
quoth
he
,
be
quiet
:
and
then
to
me
,
Truly
gentleman
,
I
would
be
glad
to
do
you
any
pleasure
,
but
I
haue
such
a
wife
that
I
dare
do
nothing
without
her
consent
:
if
you
bring
your
stuffe
I
will
do
it
you
,
as
well
and
as
good
cheape
as
any
man
.
Now
,
I
that
tooke
him
to
haue
bene
the
maister
of
the
house
,
was
much
mistaken
,
for
the
woman
ware
the
breeches
,
and
he
was
to
worke
for
the
house
:
when
pitying
the
poore
mans
case
,
and
much
commending
his
patience
,
sory
to
thinke
how
I
was
mistaken
,
I
tooke
another
course
for
my
contentment
.
I
was
not
long
in
towne
before
I
had
learned
how
to
turne
pearle
into
gold
,
and
gold
into
siluer
,
and
so
to
furnish
my selfe
of
such
necessaries
,
as
I
found
most
fitting
for
my
vse
:
when
there
passed
not
many
dayes
before
I
fell
vpon
another
fortune
,
where
I
was
as
I
was
still
in
euery
thing
mistaken
.
Lor.
I
pray
you
tell
it
,
we
haue
time
inough
,
and
I
long
to
heare
it
.
Dor.
I
will
tell
you
.
It
was
my
hap
after
that
I
had
done
my
deuotion
in
the
Church
,
and
holy
places
,
passing
through
the
streetes
,
beholding
as
well
the
faire
houses
,
as
sweete
creatures
at
their
doores
and
windowes
;
to
cast
mine
eye
vpon
a
very
artificiall
faire
,
sharpe
witted
,
wanton
eyed
,
and
faire
handed
,
small
footed
,
straight
bodied
,
and
,
as
I
after
found
,
smooth
tounged
gentlewoman
:
I
say
gentle
,
for
she
was
so
gentle
,
that
she
was
as
tame
,
as
a
litle
filly
,
that
had
bene
brought
vp
al
by
hand
.
This
fine
mistresse
,
I
had
some
hope
to
do
some
good
vpon
,
when
setting
a
good
face
on
the
matter
,
after
a
courteous
salutation
I
fell
to
kissing
of
her
hand
:
which
she
endured
with
such
a
pleasing
smile
,
as
gaue
me
cause
to
proceed
further
in
my
purpose
.
I
had
not
so
soone
beganne
to
go
about
her
,
but
she
had
me
at
euery
turne
,
and
in
the
midst
of
my
talk
wold
be
fidling
with
a
ring
,
in
which
was
a
painted
diamond
,
that
I
ware
on
my
finger
,
which
she
would
commend
with
wishing
her
hand
worthie
such
a
fauour
.
Now
I
that
hoped
to
haue
found
so
gallant
a
wench
,
as
francke
handed
,
as
free
hearted
,
and
as
liberall
for
loue
,
as
ready
for
entertainement
,
found
that
artificiall
beauty
,
was
but
a
shadow
,
or
rather
couer
of
couetousnesse
,
or
an
instrument
of
wit
,
to
draw
on
folly
,
into
the
ruine
of
prodigality
:
so
that
,
here
I
found
my selfe
so
mistaken
,
that
it
made
me
afraid
a
long
while
after
,
to
be
busie
with
the
female
kind
.
Lor.
In
truth
this
was
a
prety
mistaking
:
but
if
she
had
bene
for
you
,
and
would
haue
mistaken
you
for
her
husband
,
by
whom
you
might
craftily
haue
bene
taken
,
and
so
bene
caried
to
Bride-well
,
or
payed
for
your
pardon
;
what
a
taking
would
you
then
haue
bin
in
?
Dor.
I
know
not
,
but
t
is
better
,
as
it
was
:
for
as
I
found
it
,
so
I
left
it
.
I
only
spent
a
few
faire
words
,
but
not
a
peny
mony
,
for
I
would
not
pay
for
my
repentance
:
but
so
leauing
her
,
as
I
found
her
,
with
a
Bazo
los
manus
,
went
about
my
other
businesse
:
which
I
had
not
long
followed
,
but
I
fell
vpon
another
mistaking
.
Lor.
What
may
that
be
,
if
you
can
remember
?
Dor.
I
will
tell
you
.
It
was
my
hap
to
heare
of
a
gallant
Captaine
that
was
to
do
a
peece
of
seruice
vpon
a
citie
of
the
Turks
,
vnder
whom
who
could
get
entertainement
,
might
quickly
purchase
both
honor
and
wealth
.
Now
,
my
youth
being
trained
vp
in
armes
,
and
my
fortune
falling
vpon
such
a
point
,
it
was
not
long
before
I
made
and
got
meanes
of
entertainement
at
the
hands
of
this
gallant
souldier
,
of
whom
I
hoped
to
receiue
the
due
of
my
desert
:
but
after
that
he
had
in
many
desperate
peeces
of
seruice
employed
me
,
and
saw
in
me
that
true
valour
,
that
made
him
in
the
enuie
of
my
good
deserts
,
feare
some
neare
pressing
towards
his
pride
,
in
stead
of
aduancing
my
fortune
,
or
rewarding
my
seruice
,
he
still
put
me
vpon
such
continuall
exploits
,
as
threatned
euerie
houre
narow
escape
of
my
life
.
But
in
the
end
seeing
his
miserie
,
to
make
a
gaine
of
those
that
did
him
honor
,
handfasted
to
the
well
deseruing
,
and
rather
plotting
the
death
,
then
aduancing
the
fortunes
of
the
valiant
,
got
meanes
for
my
discharge
from
him
;
and
sory
to
think
how
I
was
mistaken
in
him
,
as
I
tell
you
,
I
left
him
:
when
I
had
not
gone
farre
,
but
I
light
vpon
another
mistaking
.
Lor.
And
how
I
pray
thee
?
if
it
be
not
troublesome
to
thee
to
recite
it
,
I
pray
thee
let
me
heare
it
.
Dor.
You
shall
.
The
mistaking
of
a
Diuine
.
It
was
my
hap
in
a
litle
field
neare
vnto
a
Church
in
a
countrey
towne
,
to
ouertake
a
litle
old
man
in
agowne
,
a
wide
kassock
,
a
night-cap
,
and
a
corner-cap
,
by
his
habite
seeming
to
be
a
Diuine
;
of
whom
I
was
in
hope
to
find
that
sacred
fruit
of
charity
,
that
might
be
some
comfort
in
my
returne
:
whom
beginning
to
salute
with
a
few
Latine
words
:
My
friend
,
quoth
he
,
do
not
deceiue
your selfe
,
I
vnderstand
not
your
Greeke
.
We
here
,
that
dwell
farre
from
the
citie
,
and
are
not
troubled
with
fine
eares
to
our
reading
,
care
for
no
more
but
to
discharge
our
duties
in
our
places
,
I
meane
of
a
Vicar
,
for
I
am
no
better
:
the
Parson
is
a
man
of
greater
place
,
and
of
faire
possessions
,
who
dwelleth
a
great
way
hence
,
and
therefore
seldome
comes
into
this
countrey
.
I
vse
twise
a
yeare
to
bring
him
his
rent
,
and
perhaps
a
couple
of
Capons
against
Christmusse
,
for
my
Land-lady
,
and
that
is
as
much
as
they
look
for
.
And
for
my
parishioners
,
they
are
a
kind
of
people
,
that
loue
a
pot
of
Ale
better
then
a
Pulpit
,
and
a
corne-ricke
better
then
a
Church-doore
:
who
comming
to
diuine
seruice
,
more
for
fashion
then
deuotion
,
are
contented
after
a
litle
capping
and
kneeling
,
coughing
and
spetting
,
to
helpe
me
to
sing
out
a
Psalme
,
and
sleepe
at
the
second
Lesson
,
or
awake
to
stand
vp
at
the
Gospell
,
and
say
Amen
at
The
peace
of
God
;
and
stay
till
the
Banes
of
matrimonie
be
asked
,
or
till
the
Clarke
haue
cryed
a
pyed
stray
bullocke
,
a
blacke
sheepe
or
a
gray
mare
:
and
then
,
for
that
some
dwell
farre
off
,
be
glad
to
be
gotten
home
to
dinner
.
Now
we
that
haue
no
more
liuing
then
will
hardly
serue
to
keepe
a
poore
house
,
are
not
in
case
,
God
helpe
vs
,
to
do
any
thing
for
our
poore
brethren
;
and
therfore
my
good
friend
trouble
vs
not
with
other
speech
then
we
vnderstand
,
lest
if
you
come
afore
the
Constable
,
he
take
you
for
some
coniurer
,
and
so
bring
your selfe
to
some
trouble
,
which
I
would
be
sorie
to
see
:
for
truly
you
seeme
a
handsom
man
;
God
hath
done
his
part
in
you
:
God
be
with
you
.
Oh
Lord
(
thought
I
)
is
this
man
possible
to
be
a
Church-man
,
and
knoweth
so
litle
what
belongeth
to
the
Church
?
Well
,
this
was
no
litle
mistaking
:
but
going
a
litle
further
,
leauing
this
poore
Sir
Ienkin
to
his
mother
tongue
,
I
ouertooke
a
plaine
fellowe
to
my
seeming
,
clad
in
a
home-spun
ierkin
of
russet
wooll
,
a
paire
of
close
breeches
of
the
same
,
a
falling
band
somewhat
courser
then
fine
Cambricke
,
a
payre
of
wollen
stockings
,
and
a
halfe
boote
,
like
a
good
high
shooe
.
Now
,
this
plaine
outside
,
I
guessed
to
be
lined
with
no
excellent
stuffe
in
the
inside
:
and
therefore
somewhat
more
boldly
then
rudely
saluted
him
in
this
manner
:
Good
fellow
,
well
ouertaken
.
You
are
welcome
,
quoth
he
:
but
to
clappe
a
man
on
the
shoulder
before
you
knowe
him
,
is
a
point
quite
out
of
the
rule
of
all
good
manners
,
at
least
that
euer
I
learned
.
Alas
,
quoth
I
,
goodman
clowne
,
can
your
nose
abide
no
ieast
:
Yes
Sir
,
quoth
he
,
with
my
friends
;
but
mine
eares
haue
no
pleasure
in
a
foole
.
This
touching
me
too
neare
the
quicke
,
replyed
againe
:
Oh
sir
,
quoth
I
,
then
if
your
friends
be
fooles
,
you
will
shake
hands
with
them
;
but
a
straunger
will
put
you
out
of
patience
.
He
litle
moued
herewith
,
(
as
it
seemed
)
made
me
this
answer
:
My
friend
,
I
pray
you
keepe
your
way
,
I
would
be
loth
to
hinder
your
walke
:
but
if
your
passion
be
no
greater
then
my
impatience
,
we
shall
not
fall
out
for
a
trifle
.
But
Sir
(
quoth
I
)
how
might
I
fall
in
either
with
your selfe
,
or
such
another
,
for
a
matter
of
good
earnest
?
It
seemes
you
are
a
man
of
sence
,
and
had
I
not
giuen
you
cause
of
displeasure
which
I
am
sorie
for
,
I
wold
haue
acquainted
you
with
somwhat
,
that
by
your
good
means
,
I
might
perhaps
be
the
better
for
.
Truly
sir
,
quoth
he
,
my
estate
is
not
such
as
can
make
me
bountifull
to
the
best
deseruing
;
but
so
farre
as
discretion
will
giue
me
leaue
,
I
would
be
glad
to
pleasure
a
stranger
.
My
house
is
not
far
hence
,
but
on
the
further
side
of
this
field
;
whither
(
if
it
may
be
no
great
hinderance
to
your
trauell
)
I
wil
intreat
your
patience
to
a
pore
pittance
,
and
if
in
either
my
aduise
,
or
better
meanes
I
may
stead
your
desire
,
you
shall
find
that
you
do
not
looke
for
;
nothing
that
you
shall
pay
for
;
and
somewhat
that
perhaps
you
shall
thanke
me
for
:
and
therefore
,
I
pray
you
beare
me
companie
for
this
night
;
to
morrow
you
shall
take
your
iourney
at
your
pleasure
.
This
kind
offer
(
hauing
no
reason
to
refuse
)
I
tooke
most
thankefully
:
and
by
the
way
after
a
few
discourses
of
my
fortunes
,
I
acquainted
him
with
the
resolution
of
my
intent
;
which
was
,
either
to
serue
in
the
warres
,
or
in
Court
,
or
to
professe
some
trade
,
or
to
followe
my
studie
.
To
which
,
I
asked
his
aduice
for
my
good
,
in
all
and
euery
one
of
them
:
to
which
,
as
I
propounded
the
question
,
he
made
me
this
aunswer
.
And
first
,
quoth
he
,
my
friend
,
I
am
sorie
,
by
these
your
discourses
,
to
haue
occasion
to
call
to
mind
the
folly
of
my
youth
,
which
taught
me
nothing
in
mine
age
,
but
the
repentance
of
lost
time
:
but
for
that
I
haue
tried
fortune
to
the
vttermost
of
her
malice
,
and
in
the
end
am
come
to
that
you
see
,
I
would
be
glad
to
tell
you
a
merrie
tale
,
how
I
was
mistaken
in
many
courses
,
before
I
hit
on
the
right
compasse
:
in
which
,
if
you
can
gather
any
thing
for
your
good
,
I
shall
thinke
it
the
best
gaine
that
I
haue
made
of
it
.
Now
finding
this
vnlooked
for
and
vndeserued
kindnesse
at
his
handes
,
and
nothing
more
fitting
the
humour
of
my
fortune
at
that
time
,
I
intreated
him
most
heartily
,
to
make
me
in
this
first
to
be
beholding
to
him
.
Whereupon
,
with
a
very
litle
preamble
he
fell
into
this
plaine
trot
:
I
will
tel
you
,
quoth
he
,
when
I
was
yong
as
you
are
,
and
had
as
litle
to
care
for
as
you
haue
,
being
broght
vp
at
home
with
ease
and
plentie
,
and
wearie
of
welfare
,
would
faine
haue
I
know
not
what
,
when
hauing
the
world
more
at
will
,
then
wit
to
gouerne
my
affections
,
and
a
desire
to
see
more
then
I
could
well
carie
away
,
thinking
my
mothers
best
creame
but
bare
milke
;
and
others
thinnest
milke
,
as
good
creame
as
might
make
butter
;
taking
leaue
of
no
friend
,
and
flattering
my
thoughts
with
fortune
,
I
would
to
sea
forsooth
,
with
a
sight
of
such
spirits
,
as
(
but
that
they
looked
like
men
)
would
haue
made
poore
people
affraid
of
them
:
yet
these
were
the
men
with
whom
(
in
more
hast
then
good
speed
)
I
must
go
lose
abroade
what
I
had
gotten
at
home
.
When
,
hoping
to
haue
light
on
some
good
prize
,
I
was
taken
prisoner
with
the
enemie
:
of
whom
being
stript
of
that
I
had
,
with
a
few
old
ragges
on
my
backe
,
among
a
few
of
my
fellow
sailers
that
were
set
on
shore
in
a
poore
taking
,
I
found
how
I
began
to
be
mistaken
;
to
leaue
the
land
for
the
sea
,
and
a
safe
home
for
a
straunge
harbour
.
But
now
on
shore
with
my
good
fellowes
in
fortune
,
euery
man
shifting
for
himselfe
,
and
I
trying
so
many
waies
to
the
wood
,
that
I
lost
my selfe
in
the
plaine
,
wearie
of
doing
nothing
,
began
to
look
about
me
for
my
better
profit
:
but
such
were
my
crosses
in
all
my
courses
,
that
I
could
neuer
thriue
till
I
got
home
againe
.
For
to
make
an
abridgement
of
a
long
tale
,
I
will
tel
you
:
In
courting
I
found
more
cost
then
comfort
;
in
warre
,
more
danger
then
ease
;
in
learning
,
more
studie
then
profit
;
in
trafficke
,
more
gaine
then
conscience
;
in
seruice
,
more
paine
then
honour
;
in
mariage
,
more
care
then
quiet
;
and
in
loue
,
more
pleasure
then
vertue
:
so
that
in
all
my
courses
being
so
mistaken
,
that
I
found
a
crosse
to
my
comfort
in
euery
of
them
,
I
fairely
left
the
Courtier
to
his
curtesies
,
the
souldier
to
his
marches
,
the
scholer
to
his
studies
,
the
merchaut
to
his
trafficke
,
the
maried
man
to
his
purgatorie
,
and
the
louer
to
his
vanity
:
and
home
returned
to
my
poore
cottage
that
my
parents
left
me
;
and
,
as
my
wife
tels
me
,
my
sonnes
shall
possesse
after
me
.
Here
I
liue
in
a
meane
course
,
content
and
glad
of
Gods
blessings
,
neuer
in
daunger
to
be
mistaken
,
because
I
trust
only
to
experience
:
while
doing
honour
to
God
,
and
following
my
businesse
,
with
the
sweate
of
my
browes
,
I
gaine
the
foode
of
my
senses
,
with
my
necessarie
appurtenances
.
O
my
friend
,
beleeue
me
,
he
that
is
contented
is
rich
,
while
he
that
is
rich
is
not
contented
:
a
litle
sufficeth
nature
,
and
excesse
is
but
hurtfull
;
beautie
,
but
the
inchaunter
of
wit
;
ambition
,
but
the
ouerthrow
of
vertue
;
couetousnesse
,
the
corrupter
of
conscience
;
authoritie
,
the
charge
of
care
;
pride
,
the
hate
of
nature
;
enuie
,
the
nurse
of
malice
,
and
wrath
,
the
inuenter
of
murther
;
sloth
,
the
losse
of
time
;
drunkennesse
,
the
shame
of
nature
;
gluttonie
,
the
ground
of
sicknesse
;
and
locherie
,
the
fire
of
sinne
.
These
notes
when
I
had
taken
by
the
light
of
Gods
grace
,
and
obseruation
of
times
,
leauing
all
extremities
,
I
tooke
this
meane
course
:
where
though
home
be
homely
,
yet
liuing
quietly
and
contentedly
,
I
find
it
true
,
That
he
who
serueth
God
hartily
,
liueth
happily
,
and
dieth
ioyfully
.
Now
my
good
friend
,
if
I
might
aduise
you
for
your
good
,
I
would
wish
you
to
take
a
stayed
course
,
and
lay
away
all
running
humours
:
looke
home
,
loue
home
,
liue
at
home
,
a
small
assurance
is
better
then
a
great
hope
;
and
a
litle
possession
,
then
a
great
possibilitie
:
and
when
a
man
hath
of
his
owne
,
he
neede
not
borrow
of
his
neighbours
.
Trauell
may
be
pleasing
,
and
seruice
hopefull
,
trafficke
gainefull
,
and
wealth
powerfull
:
but
a
conuenient
house
,
an
honest
patrimonie
,
a
kind
wife
,
obedient
children
,
faithfull
seruants
,
and
louing
neighbors
,
make
such
a
commonwealth
of
contentment
in
the
true
conceipt
of
a
carefull
vnderstanding
;
that
a
king
of
a
mole-hill
,
were
better
then
a
lord
of
a
great
hutch
.
Oh
,
to
see
in
a
faire
morning
,
or
a
Sunnie
euening
,
the
lambes
and
rabbets
runne
at
bace
,
the
birds
billing
,
the
fishes
playing
,
and
the
flowers
budding
,
who
would
not
leaue
the
drinking
in
an
ale-house
,
the
wrangling
in
a
dicing
house
,
the
lying
in
a
market
,
and
the
cheating
in
a
faire
;
and
thinke
that
the
brightnesse
of
a
faire
day
,
doth
put
downe
all
the
beauties
of
the
world
.
But
I
doubt
I
grow
tedious
,
and
therefore
being
so
neare
home
,
I
will
intreat
your
patience
till
we
haue
supped
,
and
only
assure
you
of
a
good
welcom
,
to
supply
the
want
of
better
cheare
.
With
this
breaking
off
his
talke
,
he
tooke
me
by
the
hand
and
led
me
into
his
house
,
the
doore
open
,
as
vnfearefull
of
theeues
,
or
vnprouided
for
strangers
:
where
we
were
at
the
entry
saluted
with
a
modest
smile
of
a
kind
wife
,
humble
courtesies
of
most
sweet
children
,
due
reuerence
of
comely
seruants
,
and
a
table
furnished
for
both
the
host
&
a
good
guest
.
Here
(
though
no
inne
)
yet
I
tooke
vp
my
lodging
;
where
with
the
entertainment
of
much
kindnesse
,
hauing
fed
both
bodie
and
mind
with
sufficient
comforts
,
with
due
thankes
for
al
curtesies
,
I
tooke
leaue
of
the
whole
familie
,
of
whom
in
generall
I
receiued
kindnesse
.
In
the
morning
not
too
early
,
receiuing
an
extraordinarie
golden
fauour
,
for
a
friendly
farewell
,
calling
to
mind
his
discourses
of
mistaking
,
and
noting
mine
owne
crosses
in
my
courses
:
I
tooke
his
counsell
for
my
comfort
,
and
with
as
much
speed
as
I
could
,
leauing
my
trauell
turned
euen
faire
home
again
.
And
thus
much
for
this
time
of
my
trauell
.
Now
what
say
you
of
yours
?
for
I
am
sure
you
haue
not
liued
alwaies
at
home
.
Lor.
Oh
fine
tale
,
you
were
the
best
mistaken
in
that
man
of
all
other
:
for
,
where
you
hoped
well
of
other
,
you
found
the
contrarie
;
but
of
him
you
thought
but
litle
,
and
found
much
good
.
But
it
is
no
rare
thing
:
for
a
man
may
looke
like
an
owle
,
that
hath
more
wit
then
ten
asses
;
and
a
woman
may
bride
it
like
a
maide
,
that
hath
bene
the
mother
of
many
children
.
A
king
in
a
play
may
be
a
begger
from
the
stage
,
&
a
clowted
shoo
may
haue
a
pate
beyond
all
the
parish
.
Oh
,
take
heed
of
a
wolfe
in
a
lambes
skinne
,
and
talke
not
of
hawking
,
till
you
haue
bene
a
Faulconer
:
for
if
a
man
haue
not
his
fiue
wits
,
he
may
be
a
foole
in
foure
of
them
.
But
,
lest
you
take
my
words
for
a
lecture
,
which
may
be
more
tedious
then
pleasing
,
I
will
a
litle
tell
you
of
my
trauel
,
and
how
I
was
taken
in
euery
corner
.
Dor.
Yea
Sir
,
now
you
speake
somewhat
to
the
matter
.
If
your
taking
were
like
my
mistaking
,
then
perhaps
we
should
shake
hands
for
our
fortunes
.
But
howsoeuer
it
was
,
I
pray
you
make
me
acquainted
with
it
.
Lor.
I
will
,
and
first
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
my
first
trauell
being
crosse
the
seas
,
I
was
taken
short
of
my
course
,
and
by
straunge
people
caried
to
a
strange
place
:
where
being
taken
for
no
worse
then
I
was
,
I
was
vsed
no
better
than
I
should
be
.
But
after
that
I
had
got
out
of
this
taking
,
I
foorth
with
fell
to
deuise
with
my selfe
,
what
course
I
should
take
for
my
comfort
.
And
first
I
would
take
vpon
me
to
be
a
Courtier
,
when
I
would
be
so
gay
,
as
if
honour
attended
vpon
colours
:
but
wise
men
taking
me
as
I
then
was
,
but
a
foole
,
brought
me
into
such
a
taking
;
that
what
with
loue
,
and
what
with
sorow
,
I
tooke
such
passions
,
as
brought
me
to
a
weake
taking
.
And
yet
I
was
taken
among
the
best
for
an
honest
man
,
and
a
wel
meaning
.
But
in
taking
my
courtly
course
,
my
word
was
so
taken
in
euery
corner
,
and
my
name
so
taken
in
euery
booke
,
that
I
grew
so
afraid
of
takers
,
that
I
durst
not
almost
go
into
any
place
for
feare
of
taking
.
And
to
thinke
of
the
sundrie
kinds
of
taking
,
it
is
strange
to
thinke
,
that
any
one
should
be
taken
vp
,
and
taken
downe
so
many
waies
as
I
was
.
If
I
but
courted
a
wench
,
I
was
taken
for
a
wencher
;
if
I
talked
merily
,
I
was
taken
for
a
iester
;
if
I
looked
sadly
,
I
was
taken
for
a
spie
;
if
I
were
liberal
,
for
a
prodigall
;
if
thriftie
,
for
a
snudge
;
if
valiant
,
a
quareller
;
if
patient
,
a
coward
;
if
rich
,
wise
;
if
poore
,
a
foole
:
so
that
they
,
who
knew
not
how
to
take
any
thing
as
it
should
be
,
tooke
me
to
be
any
thing
that
they
would
haue
me
to
be
.
But
this
was
not
enough
:
for
if
I
gaue
my
word
,
I
was
taken
for
a
suretie
;
if
I
brake
it
,
I
was
taken
for
a
banck-rupt
;
if
I
kept
it
,
I
was
taken
for
a
silly
fellow
;
if
I
talked
of
a
disease
,
I
was
taken
for
a
Phisitian
;
if
of
a
case
,
a
Lawyer
;
if
of
armes
,
a
Captaine
;
if
of
religion
,
at
least
a
Doctor
:
so
that
(
as
I
said
before
)
I
was
taken
so
many
waies
,
that
I
knew
not
well
which
way
to
take
my selfe
.
But
beyond
all
these
,
not
onely
my selfe
was
thus
taken
to
be
this
and
that
:
but
my
horse
was
taken
post
,
my
purse
was
taken
prisoner
,
my
word
was
taken
hold
of
;
and
what
was
I
,
or
had
I
,
but
was
either
taken
vp
or
downe
:
my
horse
was
taken
vp
,
my
purse
was
taken
downe
;
my
word
was
taken
vp
,
my
mind
was
taken
downe
:
in
briefe
,
you
could
not
be
more
mistaken
in
any
thing
,
then
I
was
taken
for
euery
thing
.
But
lest
you
should
think
I
would
chop
Logicke
with
you
,
or
thinke
much
of
my
breath
in
telling
of
a
long
tale
,
I
will
tell
you
,
how
I
had
like
to
haue
bene
taken
napping
.
Going
to
an
Ordinarie
to
dinner
with
a
friend
of
mine
,
who
had
bene
with
me
at
the
taking
vp
of
a
litle
money
,
no
sooner
we
were
entred
into
the
house
and
scarce
set
downe
to
a
table
,
short
aboue
an
houre
for
couering
towards
supper
,
but
we
were
taken
vp
for
a
rest
at
Primero
:
when
being
taken
for
a
gamester
,
I
had
the
tricke
put
vpon
me
;
which
no
sooner
I
espied
,
but
hauing
got
a
small
rest
or
two
,
faining
an
vrgent
businesse
,
I
tooke
occasion
to
leaue
off
;
for
which
cause
I
was
taken
for
a
cheater
.
Which
fitting
some
of
that
place
,
who
taking
me
for
a
fine
fin-gred
companion
,
fel
a
bord
with
me
for
assistance
and
aduise
,
so
farre
that
at
last
,
in
an
assurance
of
my
fidelitie
to
them
,
and
villanie
to
all
the
world
besides
,
they
put
a
sum
of
money
into
my
hands
to
go
to
play
with
.
Which
money
I
no
sooner
was
maister
of
,
but
the
wind
seruing
well
,
and
I
in
readinesse
to
be
gone
,
in
the
still
time
of
the
night
,
got
means
to
ship
my selfe
for
Roane
:
where
being
a
straunger
,
I
was
to
take
what
course
I
well
could
for
my
confort
.
Where
no
sooner
I
was
arriued
,
but
I
smiled
to
thinke
how
I
had
ouertooke
my
takers
.
Now
comming
to
Roane
,
and
finding
diseases
so
rife
,
that
an
honest
Phisitian
might
set
his
Apothecarie
well
on
worke
,
I
made
a
shew
with
a
litle
Allume
and
Copresse
,
to
perswade
such
wonders
of
my
art
or
studie
;
that
who
would
not
giue
me
a
good
fee
for
a
sore
finger
?
Oh
,
healing
but
a
Whitloe
on
a
Lords
thumbe
,
and
the
crampe
in
a
Ladies
finger
,
I
went
for
the
cunning
man
,
that
had
a
cure
for
all
diseases
.
So
that
there
was
not
a
young
wench
that
would
haue
a
child
;
a
young
man
that
was
weake
stomacked
;
an
old
sir
that
was
deafe
nor
an
old
Grandam
blind
;
but
would
seek
to
me
for
remedie
.
By
reason
wherof
,
I
came
to
the
knowledge
of
some
secrets
,
that
made
me
sought
to
faire
and
neare
.
To
be
short
,
I
was
taken
for
such
a
Phisitian
,
that
I
tooke
no
litle
profit
of
my
patients
.
But
lost
my
skill
would
be
descryed
,
and
so
my
profession
discredit
,
I
turned
all
my
gettings
into
gold
,
which
I
shipt
with
my selfe
for
Antwerpe
.
But
ill
gotten
,
ill
spent
;
ere
I
came
halfe
way
ouer
sea
,
I
was
taken
prisoner
by
a
pyrate
,
who
after
he
had
taken
my
goods
,
kept
me
in
hold
for
my
raunsome
:
which
hauing
payed
,
and
gotten
away
,
take
me
euer
after
that
what
they
would
,
I
would
take
no
profession
vpon
me
;
but
taking
the
world
as
I
could
,
I
would
thinke
to
vse
it
as
I
had
reason
.
And
thus
much
for
my
two
first
takings
.
Now
,
recouering
my
losses
aswell
as
my
wits
and
fortune
would
giue
me
leaue
,
I
began
to
take
an
humour
of
loue
,
and
by
a
litle
eloquence
and
fine
dissimulation
,
to
go
about
(
as
I
took
her
)
a
creature
of
more
beautie
then
wit
;
and
talke
,
then
honestie
.
To
be
short
,
she
was
of
the
doubtfull
gender
,
the
common
of
two
or
three
scores
,
or
hundreds
,
I
know
not
whether
.
Now
,
this
idle-times
mistresse
I
would
haue
a
kind
boute
withall
,
to
see
if
my
wit
could
helpe
my
purse
in
going
beyond
the
wiles
of
a
woman
:
but
while
I
stood
gazing
on
her
leering
eyes
,
she
so
stole
away
my
heart
with
a
vaine
affection
,
that
to
tell
you
trouth
,
I
was
taken
in
loue
,
and
that
so
fast
,
as
that
to
take
hold
of
her
kindnesse
,
she
tooke
hold
of
my
cost
.
For
if
she
but
spake
of
that
she
liked
,
if
my
purse
could
purchase
it
,
she
was
sure
to
haue
it
:
so
that
in
a
litle
time
,
she
tooke
my
kindnesse
so
kindly
,
that
I
was
counted
the
kindest
man
(
I
will
not
say
,
foole
)
in
the
world
.
Oh
,
I
was
not
onely
so
taken
,
but
so
ouertaken
with
this
taking-mistresse
,
that
she
brought
me
into
such
a
taking
,
as
is
scarce
worth
the
talking
of
.
Oh
,
mine
eyes
were
so
taken
with
beautie
,
my
heart
with
vanitie
,
my
wits
with
folly
,
and
my
purse
with
prodigalitie
;
that
had
I
not
the
sooner
left
this
taker
,
I
had
left
nothing
for
taking
.
Now
sir
,
being
thus
wearie
of
my
loue-taking
,
or
my
taking
louer
,
I
began
to
bethink
me
what
course
I
were
best
to
take
for
my
comfort
:
when
finding
many
malitious
people
,
that
could
not
liue
quietly
with
their
neighbours
,
spend
much
mony
to
litle
purpose
,
and
so
feed
the
Lawyers
with
fees
,
that
they
left
their
purses
without
money
:
I
began
to
thinke
,
that
a
litle
studie
in
the
law
,
would
gaine
much
good
in
a
commonwealth
.
Wherupon
,
without
much
circumstance
I
got
me
into
the
formall
outside
of
a
iolly
fellow
;
and
for
the
better
countenance
to
my
credite
,
furnished
my
studie
with
more
bookes
,
then
I
had
either
time
to
reade
,
or
wit
to
vnderstand
.
When
hauing
gotten
acquaintance
with
some
setters
for
clients
,
rubbing
ouer
my
poore
French
,
hauing
Litl●ton
before
me
,
and
a
booke
of
notes
I
know
not
of
whose
writing
,
I
would
set
on
such
a
counselling
countenance
,
as
if
I
had
bin
at
the
barre
,
before
I
know
the
hall
:
when
,
what
with
the
multitude
of
clients
and
golden
fees
,
I
made
such
a
gaine
of
my
dissembling
,
that
nere
a
Lawyer
of
my
standing
,
but
I
caried
it
cleane
from
him
,
man
and
matter
and
all
.
In
which
pretie
thriuing
course
,
I
had
not
continued
long
,
but
that
being
found
by
my
learning
vnsit
to
pleade
for
a
blacke
pudding
,
I
was
taken
for
a
p●tti-fogger
,
and
not
so
good
as
a
poore
Clarke
;
so
that
my
condition
being
found
to
be
but
a
practiser
with
cunning
,
to
trouble
the
quiet
of
honest
people
,
for
feare
of
being
turned
ouer
the
barre
,
I
was
faine
to
turne
my
compasse
to
another
course
.
But
to
tell
you
,
during
the
time
of
my
profession
,
how
honest
a
man
I
was
taken
among
knaues
,
and
how
contrarie
among
honest
men
,
I
would
be
loth
to
haue
notice
taken
:
for
indeed
I
was
rather
a
bench-whistler
,
then
a
bencher
;
and
more
meete
(
for
my
good
conscience
)
to
be
arraigned
at
the
barre
,
then
to
pleade
at
a
barre
.
But
as
I
said
before
,
lest
I
should
be
taken
for
that
I
truly
was
,
I
left
that
course
,
and
tooke
another
inuention
by
the
back
.
I
got
me
into
a
countrie
where
I
was
vnknown
,
and
there
hoping
that
men
that
sought
to
win
heauen
by
their
good
deedes
,
would
surely
enrich
me
with
their
charitie
:
I
began
to
connterfeit
a
diseased
creature
,
and
seeming
with
the
ruefull
countenance
that
I
could
frame
for
the
purpose
,
I
would
so
moue
the
hearts
,
and
picke
the
purses
of
kind
people
,
that
I
doubted
not
in
time
to
grow
a
wealthy
begger
.
And
with
this
inuention
I
went
forward
,
till
,
after
that
I
had
so
long
followed
my
profession
,
that
my
benefactors
grew
wearie
of
their
liberalitie
:
it
fell
out
by
good
,
or
ill
hap
rather
,
that
I
chaunced
to
beg
of
a
very
neat
and
handsome
man
,
who
seemed
by
his
mild
eye
to
haue
a
heart
pitifull
to
the
distressed
.
But
he
more
cunning
to
prie
into
the
knauery
of
my
dissembling
,
then
to
cure
me
of
my
disease
,
if
I
had
had
any
,
asked
me
of
my
paine
,
and
how
long
I
had
bene
diseased
.
Which
,
when
I
had
vntruly
told
him
,
he
willed
me
to
come
home
to
him
,
and
he
would
vndertake
to
heale
me
.
Oh
how
glad
I
seemed
of
his
kindnesse
,
and
promised
to
waite
vpon
him
,
with
many
humble
thanks
.
But
fearing
this
my
vndertaker
should
so
ouertake
me
in
taking
me
napping
in
my
knauerie
,
I
fairely
tooke
my
way
out
of
the
towne
,
and
neuer
came
within
the
gates
after
.
Thus
was
I
almost
ouertaken
with
a
water
,
before
I
had
made
my
fire
burne
halfe
kindly
.
To
be
short
,
if
I
should
tell
you
all
the
courses
that
I
haue
taken
,
and
how
I
haue
bene
taken
in
euery
of
them
,
I
should
make
you
thinke
all
your
mistaking
but
a
trifle
,
in
comparison
of
many
a
miserable
taking
that
I
haue
bene
in
.
Dor.
Why
man
,
so
long
as
you
neuer
tooke
any
course
so
farre
out
of
compasse
,
but
you
could
guesse
whereabouts
you
were
;
nor
euer
went
so
farre
any
way
,
but
you
could
find
the
way
home
againe
:
let
vs
take
hands
together
like
good
friends
,
and
take
all
well
that
hath
hit
well
,
and
warning
by
that
hath
falne
amisse
,
to
follow
such
a
follie
any
further
.
Lor.
You
say
well
,
but
yet
ere
I
make
a
full
end
,
I
will
tell
you
how
kindly
I
was
entertained
in
a
place
,
that
by
chaunce
I
tooke
vp
for
my
lodging
;
where
being
taken
as
indeed
I
was
,
a
man
of
more
honestie
then
wit
,
and
kindnesse
then
wealth
:
after
good
cheare
and
welcome
,
the
good
man
of
the
house
taking
me
aside
,
beganne
to
reade
me
this
honest
lesson
:
My
friend
,
quoth
he
,
for
that
I
take
you
for
a
man
of
that
good
disposition
,
that
will
take
any
thing
well
that
is
well
meant
;
let
me
tell
you
,
there
be
many
men
in
the
world
,
that
with
mistaking
the
right
course
of
discretion
,
●unne
such
wild
courses
as
bring
many
of
them
into
many
pitifull
takings
.
Some
no
sooner
come
to
their
land
,
but
they
take
vp
their
rentes
afore
the
day
so
long
,
that
they
are
readie
to
make
a
newe
taking
for
an
old
matter
:
other
take
money
for
leases
,
ere
they
knowe
the
value
of
their
landes
:
other
take
money
for
their
landes
,
ere
they
well
knowe
the
Summarie
of
their
rentes
.
All
these
are
commonly
taken
prisoners
,
either
with
the
heart-ach
for
want
of
money
;
or
the
heade-ach
,
for
want
of
witte
.
And
,
for
many
of
them
,
they
are
taken
either
with
the
begger
,
the
theefe
,
the
cheater
,
or
the
foole
.
Some
when
they
haue
nothing
to
take
to
,
will
take
a
wife
to
helpe
forward
a
mischiefe
,
or
mend
an
ill
matter
,
but
such
a
one
may
hap
to
take
a
wrong
sow
by
the
eare
,
that
may
bite
him
by
the
fingers
for
his
labor
:
another
perhaps
takes
vpon
him
to
be
a
Phisitian
,
or
a
Surgeon
,
and
with
a
pill
and
a
plaister
,
makes
profession
of
great
wonders
.
Now
he
with
taking
vpon
him
much
skill
,
takes
much
money
,
and
though
for
want
of
knowledge
,
or
through
crafty
villany
,
he
is
determined
to
make
a
gaine
of
his
patient
,
he
will
one
day
giue
him
ease
,
and
another
day
torment
,
as
he
finds
the
nature
of
his
purse
,
in
stead
of
his
pulses
.
Now
,
is
it
not
pitty
,
but
that
such
a
horse-leech
were
taken
and
hanged
,
that
to
make
a
gaine
of
griefe
,
will
bring
any
Christian
into
such
a
taking
?
Lor.
O
Lord
,
is
it
possible
,
that
there
is
any
such
creature
in
the
world
,
that
by
so
diuelish
a
nature
will
shew
himselfe
such
a
dog
?
Dor.
Too
many
,
but
giue
me
leaue
a
litle
.
Some
take
vpon
them
to
be
Diuines
,
which
only
make
the
name
of
God
a
cloake
for
their
knauerie
:
but
those
may
rather
be
called
lurch
men
,
then
Church-men
,
who
is
they
are
not
troubled
with
much
learning
,
so
they
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
more
honest●
then
they
may
well
away
withall
.
But
these
who
take
eleuen
for
tenths
,
and
yet
can
scarce
reade
any
other
names
,
then
are
written
in
their
Easter
bookes
,
is
it
not
pitty
,
but
their
places
were
taken
from
them
,
and
giuen
to
them
that
could
and
would
take
more
carefull
paines
in
them
?
Lor.
I
take
it
so
:
but
there
is
such
straunge
takings
and
takers
in
the
world
,
that
,
if
God
did
not
take
the
more
mercy
on
them
,
surely
the
diuell
would
take
away
a
great
many
of
them
:
but
let
them
go
.
Dor.
There
are
other
that
will
take
vpon
them
to
be
Lawyers
:
&
these
hauing
scarce
read
a
line
of
Littleton
,
onely
acquainted
with
a
common
case
,
either
in
the
masculine
or
the
feminine
gender
,
will
set
a
solemne
countenance
vpon
the
matter
,
and
taking
money
inough
for
fees
,
will
bring
poore
clients
into
such
a
taking
;
that
,
if
they
perceiue
not
the
sooner
,
how
they
are
taken
with
the
foole
,
they
wil
feele
themselues
too
late
to
be
taken
with
the
begger
.
Now
,
these
kind
of
iniurious
priuy
professors
of
the
Law
will
take
of
all
hands
in
all
matters
,
and
when
they
are
taken
napping
with
the
matter
,
they
take
small
hearts-griefe
at
any
punishment
that
doth
befall
them
.
Now
,
is
it
not
pitty
that
such
petty-foggers
,
as
will
pry
into
mens
titles
,
pleade
on
both
sides
,
and
take
all
they
can
come
by
,
were
not
taken
from
the
barre
,
throwne
ouer
the
barre
,
and
barred
for
euer
comming
more
at
a
bar
?
Lor.
Yea
,
me
thinkes
it
is
a
great
scandall
to
the
Law
,
that
such
an
offendor
of
the
Law
,
as
so
abaseth
the
Law
,
should
not
be
more
sharply
punished
by
the
Law
.
Dor.
You
say
well
,
but
let
me
tell
you
a
little
more
of
takers
.
There
are
other
,
that
if
they
can
write
Item
for
a
yeard
of
Satten
,
a
halfe
elle
and
quarter
of
Taffety
,
fold
vp
a
peece
of
Grogeram
,
aske
what
lacke
you
,
and
sell
an
elle
of
Siprous
,
why
he
takes
himselfe
to
be
a
Merchant
,
and
that
of
no
meane
account
in
his
parish
.
But
let
him
be
,
if
he
can
make
a
gaine
of
a
countenance
,
he
is
worthy
to
liue
by
his
wit
:
but
,
if
he
can
take
vp
wares
or
mony
vpon
dayes
,
not
caring
for
the
payment
,
till
he
haue
enriched
himselfe
with
other
mens
goods
,
and
vpon
a
sudden
take
Lud-gate
,
and
pay
them
with
the
banck-rupt
;
is
it
not
pitty
,
but
that
he
who
so
abuseth
the
credite
of
a
Merchant
,
should
be
banished
for
euer
comming
more
into
the
city
?
Lor.
Alas
,
if
a
poore
Gentleman
breake
day
,
in
the
payment
of
forty
shillings
,
the
Sergeants
will
take
him
prisoner
,
and
all
the
towne
will
take
him
for
a
shifter
:
but
God
blesse
me
out
of
such
takings
.
Dor.
Well
,
there
are
so
many
ill
takers
,
that
it
is
pitty
there
are
no
better
orders
taken
with
them
,
but
let
them
go
.
Now
there
are
some
that
take
all
that
comes
,
till
being
taken
napping
,
the
hangman
taketh
order
with
their
cloths
.
Other
take
another
mans
wife
for
their
own
,
that
being
taken
with
the
matter
,
either
fall
into
a
pitifull
taking
for
their
knauery
,
or
make
their
purses
take
order
for
their
deliuery
.
All
these
with
many
more
,
are
wicked
courses
to
be
taken
.
But
to
leaue
all
occasions
of
ill
taking
:
take
a
good
course
,
serue
God
,
take
a
bit
at
home
,
rather
then
a
banquet
abroad
,
and
water
of
thine
owne
,
then
wine
of
anothers
:
take
account
with
thine
estate
for
the
defraying
of
thy
charge
,
take
no
rent
before
the
day
,
take
no
counsell
with
the
wicked
,
take
no
pleasure
in
vanity
,
lest
when
you
want
that
is
necessary
,
you
receiue
comfort
with
sorow
,
or
despaire
in
miserie
:
take
not
a
wife
without
wealth
,
for
it
will
helpe
to
hold
loue
;
nor
without
wit
,
for
there
is
no
plague
to
a
foole
;
nor
without
grace
,
for
it
is
a
hell
to
be
iealous
;
nor
without
beauty
,
for
there
is
no
pleasure
in
deformity
;
nor
without
education
,
for
a
slut
will
be
noisome
,
and
a
nouice
idle
;
take
her
not
too
old
for
conscience
sake
,
nor
too
young
for
thrifts
sake
;
take
knowledge
of
her
,
ere
you
loue
her
,
lest
if
you
be
mistaken
,
you
were
better
to
be
without
her
.
And
last
of
all
,
take
heed
of
a
whore
,
a
paire
of
dice
,
a
parasite
,
a
pandor
,
a
cheater
,
a
flatterer
,
and
a
promoter
.
Take
a
Courtier
for
a
fine
man
,
a
Lawyer
for
a
wise
man
,
a
Souldier
for
a
valiant
man
,
a
Diuine
for
a
learned
man
,
a
Merchant
for
a
rich
man
,
a
clowne
for
a
painefull
man
,
and
a
begger
for
a
poore
man
:
but
for
an
honest
man
,
take
him
as
you
find
him
,
in
what
estate
soeuer
he
be
:
If
he
be
in
a
great
one
,
giue
him
honour
;
if
in
a
meane
one
,
giue
him
praise
.
Now
if
you
find
wealth
,
valour
,
wisedome
,
learning
,
labour
,
and
honesty
,
all
in
one
man
:
note
him
for
a
rare
man
,
and
take
him
for
the
best
man
.
But
,
because
in
many
it
falleth
out
,
that
wealth
causeth
pride
;
wit
,
cunning
;
learning
,
pollicy
;
valor
,
discord
;
paines
,
griefe
;
and
pouerty
,
misery
:
take
good
notice
of
euery
man
that
you
haue
to
deale
withall
,
and
haue
to
doe
with
as
few
as
you
can
.
And
for
an
end
,
if
a
good
occasion
may
be
taken
,
slip
it
not
;
if
a
good
gift
may
be
taken
,
refuse
it
not
:
and
if
you
haue
taken
a
good
course
,
leaue
it
not
.
Take
God
for
thy
chiefe
good
,
thy
wit
for
thy
seruant
,
thy
wife
for
thy
companion
,
and
thy
children
for
thy
comfort
:
and
what
thou
hast
,
take
patiently
and
thankfully
.
So
,
shalt
thou
be
sure
at
the
count-taking
of
all
the
world
,
thou
shalt
be
taken
into
the
ioyes
euerlasting
.
This
rule
was
I
taught
to
take
by
them
,
whom
I
iustly
tooke
,
and
truly
sound
my
good
friends
.
So
my
good
friend
,
for
that
I
take
a
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
a
gratious
disposition
in
you
,
that
you
will
not
take
scorne
of
a
small
gift
of
a
poore
friend
:
let
me
intreate
you
to
take
your
supper
and
lodging
vpon
my
charge
,
and
this
peece
of
gold
towards
the
defraying
of
your
further
charges
.
Thus
when
I
had
thankfully
taken
his
kind
offer
,
and
further
had
well
taken
to
memory
his
good
admonitions
,
I
tooke
my
leaue
of
him
,
and
according
to
his
counsell
tooke
my
way
home
againe
:
where
,
how
happie
I
should
hold
my selfe
to
enioy
your
company
,
I
shall
make
you
know
by
that
you
find
.
Dor.
Oh
Sir
,
you
haue
got
the
start
of
me
,
it
was
the
sute
I
meant
to
haue
made
to
you
:
but
since
it
is
your
fortune
to
be
afore
me
,
I
am
at
your
will
to
be
disposed
.
Dor.
Sir
,
complements
are
so
common
,
that
they
be
of
small
account
,
and
therefore
I
will
say
but
this
:
Chuse
your
owne
time
,
and
make
your
owne
welcome
.
Lor.
If
I
can
requite
you
,
I
will
not
forget
you
,
and
let
this
suffice
you
:
shortly
I
hope
to
see
you
,
I
will
alwayes
loue
you
,
and
wish
I
could
euer
be
with
you
.
Dor.
What
?
shall
we
haue
old
aduerbes
?
As
in
absence
you
may
see
mee
,
so
in
silence
you
may
heare
me
?
I
pray
you
beare
me
company
home
,
and
I
will
bring
you
halfe
way
backe
againe
.
Lor.
Indeed
figures
are
good
among
ciphers
:
but
honest
minds
haue
plaine
toungs
,
and
therefore
not
to
detract
time
,
I
am
at
your
direction
.
Dor.
I
thanke
you
:
Let
vs
go
.
FINIS
.
