The
Anglers
conference
with
the
Scholler
.
AMong
the
walkes
of
the
wearie
,
where
libertie
and
ayre
,
are
the
best
comforts
of
the
forlorne
spirits
of
the
world
,
it
was
the
hap
of
a
poore
Scholler
,
(
who
feeding
his
imagination
with
the
perswations
of
contemplation
,
making
his
passage
downe
a
falling
péece
of
ground
,
some-what
neere
vnto
a
little
hill
,
fast
by
a
riuer
side
,
whose
streames
seemed
to
slide
along
the
banks
of
a
lower
platforme
)
to
espy
a
humaine
creature
,
standing
vpright
and
holding
out
his
arme
ouer
the
water
,
whom
approching
vnto
somewhat
neere
,
and
finding
to
be
an
Angler
,
he
saluted
in
this
manner
:
True
figure
of
patience
,
no
offence
to
your
conceit
,
howe
might
it
fare
with
your
colde
exercise
?
The
Fisherman
(
as
it
might
appeare
by
his
answer
)
béeing
better
trained
in
the
varietie
of
vnderstanding
then
could
be
contained
within
the
compasse
of
a
casting
Nette
,
vpon
the
suddaine
made
him
this
replie
:
Shadowe
of
intelligence
,
to
stay
your
further
eloquence
,
when
fooles
gape
for
flyes
,
madde
men
may
goe
a
fishing
.
Oh
Sir
(
quoth
the
Scholler
)
I
pray
you
enter
not
into
choller
,
with
him
that
meant
not
to
trouble
your
better
humour
:
but
rather
doe
mee
the
fauour
to
instruct
mée
in
the
reason
,
that
might
leade
you
into
thys
looking
labour
,
then
to
take
mée
vp
for
halting
ere
I
come
at
my
iourneys
ende
:
I
promise
you
I
was
halfe
afraide
,
that
Ouids
tales
would
haue
fallne
out
true
,
and
that
Narcissus
,
or
some
of
his
kindred
,
had
béen
so
in
loue
with
theyr
owne
shadowe
,
that
hee
coulde
not
goe
from
the
Riuer
side
:
but
comming
néere
,
and
finding
the
deceit
of
my
imagination
,
confessing
my
folly
,
I
am
to
craue
your
kindnes
in
a
little
conference
,
touching
the
profit
of
this
colde
pleasure
,
and
what
may
be
the
fish
that
you
angle
for
with
a
flie
.
Sir
quoth
the
fisherman
,
to
turne
wit
into
choller
,
is
such
a
peece
of
newe
Alkamie
,
as
I
neuer
found
written
in
the
true
rules
of
Philosophy
:
and
to
tell
truth
,
as
I
remember
when
I
went
to
the
schoole
of
vnderstanding
,
I
found
thys
a
sentence
of
discretion
:
It
is
but
a
trifling
of
wit
,
to
bee
troubling
of
humors
:
but
sith
you
craue
a
fauourable
instruction
in
a
matter
of
small
importance
,
being
perswaded
that
your
hast
is
not
great
,
nor
affaires
waightie
,
if
you
will
sit
downe
and
beare
mee
company
,
wée
will
feede
the
ayre
with
a
little
breath
.
My
good
friend
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
(
for
so
I
would
be
glad
to
finde
you
)
to
confesse
a
truth
,
neither
is
my
hast
such
,
but
I
may
stay
well
,
if
not
too
long
to
your
liking
,
neither
my
affaires
of
such
import
,
but
that
I
may
put
them
of
for
a
time
,
to
enioy
the
benefite
of
your
good
companie
.
Then
sir
quoth
the
Fisherman
,
let
me
tell
you
,
I
sit
heere
as
you
sée
angling
for
a
fish
,
and
my
baite
a
flie
:
for
little
fishes
,
as
Bleakes
,
Roches
,
and
such
like
,
a
flie
will
serue
the
turne
:
but
for
greater
fishes
,
wee
must
find
out
greater
baits
:
and
with
these
flies
wee
catch
such
small
frie
,
as
serue
to
baite
our
hookes
for
greater
fishes
.
Now
,
if
you
can
apply
this
figure
to
a
good
sence
,
I
will
hold
you
for
a
good
scholler
in
ciphering
.
I
cannot
tell
(
quoth
the
Scholler
,
)
howe
you
woulde
I
should
interprete
it
,
but
this
I
conceiue
of
it
,
that
a
childe
may
be
wonne
with
an
apple
,
when
a
Costermonger
will
not
be
pleasd
without
a
whole
Orchard
.
I
perceiue
quoth
the
Angler
,
you
are
of
Adams
race
,
you
thinke
so
much
vpon
the
apple
,
that
poysoned
him
&
all
his
posteritie
,
but
if
one
should
examine
your
conscience
,
doe
you
not
meane
the
golden
apple
?
Which
quoth
the
scholler
?
that
which
was
offered
to
Iuno
,
Pallas
,
and
Venus
.
I
thinke
it
to
bee
but
a
meere
iest
,
for
surely
in
these
daies
,
and
in
such
Countries
as
I
haue
passed
my
trauaile
in
,
I
neuer
saw
any
creatures
so
angelicall
,
but
they
had
spirits
so
terrestriall
,
that
if
a
golden
apple
should
be
offred
,
it
would
be
ca●cht
ere
it
could
bee
thought
of
:
and
therefore
I
pray
you
satis-fie
your selfe
with
this
aunswer
to
your
first
figure
,
and
so
to
other
,
as
it
will
fall
out
.
The
Angler
holding
himselfe
contented
with
this
construction
of
his
conceit
,
followed
on
with
his
speech
in
this
manner
.
Some
fishes
there
are
that
keepe
altogether
in
the
deepe
,
&
they
we
must
angle
for
with
a
worme
,
now
to
this
worme
we
must
haue
a
line
of
haire
,
as
neere
as
we
can
of
such
a
colour
,
as
may
best
please
the
eye
of
the
fish
to
play
with
.
Now
to
this
line
wee
must
haue
a
plummet
,
which
must
guide
the
baite
to
the
bottom
,
which
drawing
now
and
then
vp
and
downe
,
at
length
so
pleaseth
the
fish
,
as
ventring
vppon
the
baite
,
aunswers
the
hope
of
our
labour
.
Now
what
thinke
you
of
this
figure
?
Trulie
Sir
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
thinke
that
when
wit
is
ledde
away
with
humors
,
reason
may
be
intangled
in
repentance
,
and
the
pleasing
of
the
eye
,
is
such
a
plague
to
the
hart
,
that
the
worme
of
conscience
,
brings
ignorance
to
destruction
,
while
in
the
Sea
of
iniquitie
,
the
deuill
angleth
for
his
dinner
.
The
Fisherman
smiling
at
this
aunswere
,
fell
to
him
with
another
péece
of
angling
,
in
this
manner
.
We
haue
,
quoth
hée
,
a
kinde
of
flye
made
onely
of
silke
,
which
we
make
our
baite
for
a
fish
called
a
Trowt
,
with
which
wee
often
deceiue
the
foolish
thing
,
as
well
as
with
the
flie
it selfe
.
Alas
sir
quoth
the
scholler
,
this
shewes
but
the
vile
course
of
the
world
,
where
wit
finding
out
a
foole
,
féedes
his
fancie
with
such
illusions
,
as
makes
him
some-time
loose
himselfe
,
with
looking
after
a
shadow
:
as
wordes
are
without
substance
,
when
they
are
layd
for
easie
beleeuers
.
Well
sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
sith
you
roue
so
neere
the
marke
of
an
vnhappy
meaning
,
I
will
not
yet
trouble
you
with
further
disciphering
of
conceits
,
but
onely
tell
you
a
little
cause
of
my
pleasure
taken
in
this
cold
exercise
.
Before
I
had
leysure
to
learne
this
lesson
of
patience
,
to
sit
on
a
banke
side
,
and
onely
pleasing
my
conceit
with
the
hope
of
my
cunning
,
to
deceiue
a
silly
creature
of
her
comfort
.
I
saw
diuers
kinds
of
fishing
in
the
world
,
which
though
they
were
easily
learned
,
yet
I
had
no
minde
to
looke
into
,
at
least
for
mine
owne
vse
,
howsoeuer
it
profited
other
:
but
of
these
were
diuers
sundry
sorts
,
and
of
diuers
natures
,
according
to
the
Fishermen
,
or
the
fish
that
they
baited
for
:
of
which
kinds
,
according
to
the
permission
of
time
,
I
wil
acquaint
you
with
a
few
,
which
I
haue
learned
to
forget
,
as
vnpleasing
to
put
in
practise
.
One
kind
was
substantiall
,
an
other
metaphoricall
,
and
the
third
fantasticall
.
The
substantiall
was
fishing
with
the
golden
hooke
,
which
rich
men
onely
layde
in
the
deepe
consciences
of
the
couetous
,
where
they
plucked
vp
such
fauours
,
as
brought
them
a
world
of
commoditie
:
and
yet
I
remember
one
more
welthie
then
wise
,
hauing
made
a
hooke
of
a
great
waight
,
which
was
swallowed
by
a
wide
mouth
,
the
great
fish
puld
the
no
little
foole
into
the
water
,
and
eyther
drowned
him
in
the
deepe
,
or
so
swallowed
him
vp
quick
,
that
he
was
neuer
séene
after
in
the
world
.
Alas
sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
this
fellow
was
eyther
too
gréedy
of
his
gaine
,
or
perswaded
himselfe
to
be
another
Ionas
,
that
after
three
dayes
hee
shoulde
bee
cast
out
of
the
Whales
belly
,
and
come
to
shore
with
a
Muscle
boat
:
but
hee
was
pittifully
deceiued
,
for
by
all
that
I
can
gesse
of
him
,
he
had
but
one
sillable
of
his
name
,
and
that
was
the
last
,
for
he
prooued
himselfe
but
an
Asse
,
howsoeuer
Ione
fedde
his
humor
.
Alas
sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
there
are
many
such
mis-fortunes
in
the
world
,
a
man
may
swallowe
a
Gudgin
,
whilst
he
is
fishing
for
a
Pickrell
,
&
leape
a
Whiting
,
whilst
he
is
looking
on
a
Codshead
.
Yea
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
but
that
is
foule
play
,
that
a
man
should
loose
his
stoole
,
while
he
is
looking
for
a
cushion
,
and
be
robd
of
his
bread
whilst
he
is
reaching
for
butter
.
Indeed
qd.
the
Angler
you
say
true
,
when
one
sits
by
ill
neighbours
,
hee
had
need
looke
to
his
skirts
.
But
leauing
these
Items
,
let
mee
come
to
my
first
reckoning
:
fishing
for
the
great
fish
I
tell
you
,
was
wont
to
be
with
the
golden
hooke
.
Let
the
Mermaids
sing
neuer
so
sweetly
,
they
make
no
reckoning
of
theyr
musicke
,
it
is
the
golden
hooke
that
they
will
onelie
come
vnto
,
and
without
that
,
it
is
but
vaine
to
lay
for
a
fish
and
catch
a
Frog
.
Why
,
I
haue
heard
of
fishes
that
haue
been
made
drunke
with
a
golden
kinde
of
gum
,
that
after
they
haue
but
tasted
it
in
theyr
mouthes
,
they
haue
turned
vp
theyr
bellies
.
Now
for
such
great
fishes
as
I
speake
of
,
the
very
oyle
of
gold
is
of
such
vertue
,
as
the
quintescence
of
halfe
a
million
,
will
so
ouer-come
the
sences
of
them
that
tast
it
,
that
they
will
turne
vp
both
backe
and
belly
,
with
the
giddines
of
that
operation
.
Oh
sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
a
vengeance
on
the
deuill
,
heere
is
a
long
tale
quickly
construed
:
Iacke
of
both
sides
for
a
bagge
of
money
,
where
among
the
companie
of
the
Brokers
the
deuill
angleth
for
Usurers
.
But
I
pray
you
sir
on
with
your
fishing
,
and
if
you
haue
doone
with
your
substantiall
,
begin
with
your
metaphoricall
.
Sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
in
truth
my
store
of
gold
is
so
little
,
that
I
care
not
if
I
speake
no
more
of
that
hooke
:
and
nowe
,
touching
the
metaphoricall
fishing
,
I
found
it
onely
by
wit
,
a
conceited
kind
of
hooke
,
that
is
onely
layd
in
the
shallow
sence
of
vnderstanding
,
where
kinde
fooles
are
cosend
with
faire
words
of
fine
deuises
:
as
a
foule
Crowe
,
to
bee
perswaded
with
eloquence
,
that
shee
is
beloued
for
her
white
bill
,
till
to
feede
a
flattering
humor
,
shee
leaue
neuer
a
feather
in
her
wing
.
Oh
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
vnderstand
you
,
as
hee
that
made
faire
wether
with
Vulcan
,
because
hee
would
make
faire
worke
with
Venus
.
No
,
no
,
that
is
a
foolish
kind
of
fishing
,
to
fish
for
a
Codshead
,
and
carry
a
knaues
head
to
the
market
.
Oh
brother
quoth
the
scholler
,
you
are
too
plaine
in
your
Aduerbs
.
In
truth
,
answered
the
Angler
,
it
is
not
worthy
the
name
of
a
Prouerb
:
for
euery
note
of
experience
is
not
a
golden
sentence
,
and
yet
giue
a
foole
a
Cocks-combe
,
and
let
euery
honest
man
haue
his
right
:
for
my selfe
,
I
neuer
loued
to
angle
for
credite
with
a
shewe
of
more
sober
countenaunce
then
simple
meaning
,
for
in
truth
brother
,
and
verily
sister
,
made
the
deuill
daunce
Trenchmore
,
where
hipocrisie
blew
the
bagpipe
.
Yea
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
how
catch
you
a
Trowt
but
with
a
silken
flye
,
and
can
you
better
deceiue
a
foole
,
then
with
a
Taffatie
face
?
Oh
sir
,
laugh
vpon
euery
man
at
the
first
sight
,
make
a
curtsie
of
the
old
fashion
,
say
a
long
grace
without
booke
,
find
fault
with
long
haire
,
and
great
ruffes
,
and
tell
youth
of
his
folly
,
and
all
imperfections
of
the
flesh
,
shall
be
excluded
from
the
spirit
.
Oh
sir
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
you
shoulde
haue
set
downe
probatum
,
a
good
medicine
for
a
mad
humor
,
to
take
phisicke
without
an
Apothicarie
,
&
to
bleede
in
a
lither
vaine
.
Goe
to
sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
such
fits
of
naturall
philosophy
,
put
you
from
your
booke
,
and
mee
to
mine
angle
:
but
leauing
these
new
tricks
of
an
old
daunce
,
let
vs
fall
again
to
our
old
galiard
:
and
touching
angling
,
say
that
a
madde
felow
made
a
baite
of
a
faire
wench
,
to
catch
a
foule
churle
withall
,
how
many
fauours
might
her
sweete
eyes
plucke
out
of
his
sower
hart
?
In
deede
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
it
is
not
a
little
treason
in
youth
,
to
catch
age
in
a
wheelebarrow
,
especially
when
an
Ape
brings
a
Beare
to
seeke
honnie
in
a
Bee-hiue
.
Well
sir
,
said
the
Angler
,
what
say
you
to
him
,
that
angleth
with
a
counterfeite
Diamond
,
to
deceiue
an
ignorant
Lapidarie
.
Alas
quoth
the
Scholler
,
it
is
but
a
common
Enterlude
,
betwixt
the
cunning
of
witte
,
and
the
folly
of
pride
.
Yea
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
but
what
say
you
of
honestie
?
I
think
as
fooles
doe
of
learning
,
it
may
be
spared
at
the
market
,
and
hindereth
the
Country
from
good
sport
.
In
deede
Sir
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
an
Accidence
in
an
olde
couer
,
hath
no
grace
in
Court
library
.
And
a
ballad
be
it
neuer
so
good
,
it
goes
a
begging
after
the
Faire
:
and
for
honestie
,
it
is
such
a
iest
,
that
euen
the
begger
is
wearie
of
it
,
it
hath
so
little
place
among
other
people
.
Oh
sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
you
forget
your selfe
,
hath
not
vertue
beene
euer
the
beauty
of
learning
,
and
honesty
such
a
Badge
,
as
puts
downe
a
painted
Cognisaunce
?
In
déed
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
must
confesse
,
Olim
meminisse
iuuabit
,
it
doth
mee
good
to
thinke
of
honesty
,
though
it
thriue
but
ilfauouredly
:
for
Tempora
mutantur
,
et
nos
mutamur
in
illis
,
we
may
goe
in
our
Ierkins
in
Somer
,
but
we
must
haue
a
Cloake
for
the
Winter
.
Indeede
I
haue
seene
the
deuil
painted
like
a
Friar
when
he
went
to
deceiue
a
Nun
,
and
Iudas
looked
like
a
holy
brother
,
when
hee
played
the
villaine
with
his
best
Maister
.
Did
you
take
these
for
Fishermen
,
quoth
the
Angler
?
But
ilfauoured
ones
qd.
the
Scholler
,
when
the
one
of
them
layd
his
baite
in
hell
,
and
the
other
followed
his
hooke
to
the
deuill
:
and
yet
I
haue
heard
it
is
a
common
note
in
the
world
,
for
Friars
to
bee
wanton
,
and
rich
men
to
be
couetous
.
Indeede
quoth
the
Angler
,
you
say
well
,
Mediocria
firme
:
better
be
walking
in
the
high-way
,
then
building
Castles
in
the
ayre
,
or
seeking
Lobstars
in
the
Sea
:
but
let
me
talke
with
you
further
of
angling
.
Say
that
Beggery
had
found
out
ambition
,
and
laying
a
plot
for
his
possession
,
neuer
thought
of
honestie
,
till
his
villany
were
at
an
end
,
when
the
bewitching
of
an
idle
eare
,
may
breed
the
losse
of
an
addle
head
:
what
say
you
to
this
angling
?
I
say
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
while
the
Peacock
is
gazing
at
his
trayne
,
the
Foxe
wil
be
knitting
of
his
hose-garters
.
Well
sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
sith
I
see
you
so
merry
with
this
metaphoricall
kind
of
fishing
,
I
will
tell
you
a
little
of
the
Fantasticall
.
This
last
kinde
of
angling
is
onely
in
conceit
,
where
wit
lacking
vnderstanding
,
layeth
his
baite
in
a
dreame
,
to
catch
a
foole
,
when
he
is
awake
:
as
when
an
ouer-wéening
spirit
of
his
owne
power
,
wil
compasse
the
course
of
the
seauen
starres
,
with
staring
only
at
the
Moone
,
and
so
looseth
the
benefite
of
his
studie
.
Oh
sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
such
a
one
was
he
that
hauing
a
Deere
in
chase
in
his
sleep
,
when
hee
waked
,
found
that
a
Calfes
head
and
the
brames
,
gaue
but
a
Huntsman
and
his
dogge
theyr
dinner
.
Well
sir
,
quoth
the
fisherman
,
there
is
another
fantasticall
angling
,
called
Quasi
,
as
if
it
were
:
As
a
mad
fellowe
in
a
poeticall
furie
,
imagining
he
had
a
Mistres
,
made
loue
to
his
conceit
.
Oh
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
know
such
a
fellow
,
as
making
verses
of
Venus
,
who
was
better
acquainted
with
the
black
Smith
,
forgetting
his
better
businesse
,
and
gaining
nothing
by
his
idle
labour
,
found
he
had
béene
better
to
haue
kept
his
wits
fasting
,
then
to
cesen
his
belly
of
his
breakefast
.
Well
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
what
say
you
to
him
that
baytes
his
hooke
with
a
fained
Ague
,
to
steale
fauour
from
Pitty
.
Indeed
quoth
the
scholler
,
when
women
were
wont
to
be
kind-harted
,
conceits
in
men
were
verie
feuourous
:
and
who
could
be
so
pittilesse
,
as
to
see
the
conswaption
of
a
kinde
humor
,
for
a
word
of
little
good
meaning
.
But
nowe
a
dayes
I
hope
there
are
no
such
men
,
knowing
the
nature
of
the
femall
sexe
,
giuen
rather
to
loue
a
strong
body
,
then
a
strong
breath
,
and
a
good
purse
,
then
a
faire
tale
.
Wel
said
sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
but
what
think
you
of
him
that
angleth
for
authoritie
,
with
a
deuised
countenaunce
of
counterfeit
maiestie
.
I
thinke
quoth
the
scholler
,
that
Fisherman
to
bee
the
Asse
in
the
Lyons
skinne
,
whom
the
Foxe
with
long
flattery
leading
to
fear
the
wolfe
from
his
borrough
,
no
sooner
heade
the
Owle
sounde
her
Trumpet
,
but
he
threw
off
his
proud
couer-paine
,
and
ran
home
to
his
old
Crib
,
like
a
tale
souldiour
at
a
course
Manchet
.
Well
sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
but
what
say
you
of
him
that
angleth
for
a
Budget
in
the
high-way
?
Oh
sir
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
such
open-eyed
sléepers
,
ere
they
bee
well
broade
awake
,
may
hap
to
be
hangd
for
their
dreame
.
In
good
earnest
sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
I
can
not
but
smile
at
your
pleasant
aunswers
:
But
since
I
see
the
Sunne
draweth
downe
apace
,
and
I
feare
we
shall
haue
shorter
time
of
conference
,
then
may
be
I
hope
with
both
our
good
lykings
,
I
will
no
further
trouble
you
with
these
kinds
of
anglings
:
but
after
that
I
haue
tolde
you
of
the
nature
of
some
fishes
,
I
will
tell
you
a
little
tale
of
the
choosing
of
their
King
.
Sir
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
you
kindnes
being
such
as
expects
no
ceremonies
in
courtesie
,
let
it
suffice
you
,
that
what
I
friendly
receaue
,
I
will
thankfully
requite
,
which
if
I
cannot
as
I
would
,
I
wil
deserue
as
I
may
.
Sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
to
make
no
long
haruest
of
a
little
corne
,
I
will
tell
you
touching
the
nature
of
fishes
,
I
finde
this
by
experience
,
that
the
Porpuse
sildome
playes
,
but
it
is
a
signe
of
foule
weather
.
True
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
a
gentill
Prognosticator
,
for
him
that
is
weary
of
his
life
:
An.
The
Whale
is
neuer
hurt
,
but
he
makes
his
will
on
the
shore
.
Sch.
Good
:
where
his
Oyle
is
better
for
the
Merchant
,
than
his
body
was
for
the
Mariner
.
An.
The
Herings
sildom
scull
,
but
in
a
thick
misty
morning
.
Sch.
A
wholsom
kind
of
meat
,
like
the
aire
that
he
delights
in
.
An.
The
Mackrell
brings
in
Sommer
,
for
he
comes
but
in
May
.
Sch.
Like
a
Nosegay
of
flowers
,
that
is
no
longer
sweet
then
it
is
new
gathered
.
An.
The
Stockfish
must
be
beaten
,
yea
:
and
then
quoth
the
Scholler
,
it
makes
a
iolly
messe
of
brewes
.
An.
The
Cunger
must
be
sowst
,
and
the
Eele
in
a
Spechcock
,
or
els
they
are
not
in
their
kind
:
In
déed
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
a
raw
Shrimp
,
and
a
burned
Oyster
,
are
no
very
pleasant
dishes
to
disgest
:
But
me
thinks
this
is
but
the
nature
of
their
dressings
:
You
say
well
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
for
in
déede
all
fishes
are
by
nature
windy
:
watry
you
would
say
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
for
I
am
sure
take
them
out
of
the
water
except
it
be
hote
water
,
&
the
wind
will
doe
them
little
good
:
No
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
I
meane
winde
in
another
sence
:
Oh
you
meane
eyther
bréeding
of
the
chollicke
,
or
blowing
of
the
backpipe
,
but
a
good
cup
of
Sack
,
will
kill
the
malice
of
a
red
Herring
:
but
Sir
since
,
to
tell
you
true
,
I
take
no
great
care
of
their
conditions
,
hauing
a
stomack
of
that
disgestion
,
that
was
neuer
afraide
of
a
raw
Oyster
.
I
pray
you
let
mee
heare
your
tale
of
the
choosing
of
theyr
King
:
Sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
as
I
haue
heard
it
I
will
tell
you
:
in
the
vnknowne
deepes
,
of
the
wonderfull
water
,
called
the
neuer
séene
Sea
:
when
fishes
could
speake
,
and
waues
carried
newes
to
the
banckes
of
the
earth
to
mocke
the
babies
of
the
world
,
it
was
a
noise
in
the
ayre
,
that
if
there
were
not
a
King
in
the
water
,
Frogs
would
eate
vp
the
fishes
,
where-vpon
poore
fooles
holding
an
opinion
,
that
wonders
might
come
to
passe
,
fell
to
a
counsaile
among
them selues
,
how
to
choose
a
King
for
their
comfort
.
For
a
little
time
great
hold
and
show
was
among
them
,
in
so
much
that
there
was
a
great
feare
of
ciuill
warres
to
grow
among
them
.
Some
would
haue
the
Whale
for
his
greatnes
,
some
the
Dolphin
for
his
swiftnes
,
other
the
Sword-fish
for
his
stoutnes
:
but
when
the
Whale
was
séene
vnwildy
,
though
hee
were
great
,
the
Dolphin
was
too
nimble
to
trust
to
,
and
the
Sword-fish
too
dangerous
to
dwell
by
:
they
no
sooner
saw
the
Herring
come
with
his
million
of
attendants
,
but
his
readines
to
beare
them
company
,
at
all
times
,
and
at
all
seruices
,
made
them
with
generall
consent
to
goe
of
his
side
,
&
so
he
receaued
his
tytle
:
But
among
the
slow
fishes
that
sliding
low
by
the
water
,
could
make
no
hast
to
the
Court
,
came
,
the
Plaise
with
a
pied
coate
:
who
had
no
little
hope
,
that
his
cost
would
purchase
him
great
honour
:
But
béeing
met
by
the
way
,
by
one
that
either
pittied
his
expence
,
or
laught
at
his
folly
,
he
was
told
he
might
returne
home
againe
,
as
he
came
:
for
the
King
was
chosen
,
&
allowed
.
Who
(
quoth
the
Plaise
)
the
Whale
,
no
:
why
so
?
He
was
vnwildy
,
the
Dolphin
?
no
,
and
wherefore
?
He
was
too
nimble
:
the
Sword-fish
?
no
:
for
what
cause
?
He
was
too
quarrelsome
:
the
Codde
?
neither
:
for
what
fault
?
He
gaped
so
wide
,
his
throat
was
full
of
flyes
:
who
then
?
The
Herring
:
Herring
(
quoth
the
Plaise
)
wrying
his
mouth
so
in
scorne
,
that
he
could
neuer
since
set
it
straite
.
And
reason
(
quoth
the
Scholler
)
when
a
foole
in
a
pyed
coate
,
will
be
putting
for
a
kingdome
:
he
must
haue
his
mouth
,
or
his
necke
,
or
somwhat
stand
awry
euer
after
.
But
Sir
,
for
your
tale
I
thanke
you
,
for
I
haue
heard
it
often
,
but
not
in
this
manner
.
But
I
pray
you
Sir
let
me
intreate
you
,
to
tell
me
a
little
of
the
properties
,
and
seruices
of
the
fishes
,
especially
,
such
Riuer
fish
as
you
take
pleasure
to
angle
for
.
I
will
tell
you
(
quoth
the
Angler
)
for
Sea-fish
,
I
haue
not
beene
acquainted
with
many
:
but
so
farre
as
I
can
speake
I
will
tell
you
mine
opinion
.
My
iudgement
is
that
the
Porpuse
is
like
a
Swine
,
a
great
deuourer
of
Sprats
,
that
makes
him
in
taste
so
like
a
red
Herring
:
and
beeing
serued
at
a
table
,
he
is
a
good
grosse
dish
,
for
a
course
stomack
.
Olde
Ling
without
musterd
,
is
like
a
blew
coate
without
a
Cognisaunce
,
and
a
péece
of
Gréene-fish
with
Sorrell
sawce
,
is
no
meane
seruice
in
an
Alehouse
.
A
Whiting
is
so
old
a
Courtier
,
that
he
cannot
loose
the
credite
of
his
seruice
:
Fresh
Sammon
,
Sturgeon
,
and
Conger
,
are
no
victuals
for
poore
people
,
especially
for
weake
stomacks
,
that
must
haue
wine
for
their
disgestion
.
Oysters
are
stirring
meate
,
especially
with
the
help
of
an
Onion
:
Mussles
,
and
Lobstars
,
Crabs
,
and
Tortus
,
are
dangerous
for
Agues
:
Smelts
are
good
for
women
with
child
,
and
Shrimps
are
pretty
picking
meate
,
for
idle
people
after
dinner
:
now
for
Riuer
fish
which
we
cheefely
call
Fresh-fish
.
The
Pike
is
so
rauenous
,
that
he
will
destroy
a
whole
pond
,
and
eate
vp
his
fellow
Pickrell
:
mary
the
Pearch
is
so
backed
,
that
he
dare
not
meddle
with
his
bristles
:
the
Carpe
féedes
most
in
the
night
:
the
Eele
euer
stirs
most
after
a
raine
,
and
the
Tench
is
the
only
Surgeon
for
al
the
Brooke
:
But
for
Roches
,
Bleaks
,
Dase
,
and
such
like
,
they
are
such
little
fooles
,
that
against
euery
little
shower
,
they
will
be
caught
with
a
Fly
,
For
their
seruices
,
a
Pike
in
broath
,
a
Carpe
baked
,
an
Eele
rosted
,
a
Tench
sowsed
,
a
Swelt
fried
,
and
a
Shrimp
new
sodden
,
are
serued
in
their
best
kindes
:
but
of
all
fishes
,
fresh
,
or
salt
,
whatsoeuer
opinion
is
held
of
dainty
tastes
.
The
Herring
is
he
that
passeth
Towne
and
Countrey
for
a
good
fellow
:
and
thus
much
for
my
knowledge
in
fishing
.
Now
for
the
cause
that
first
led
me
into
the
delight
of
this
kinde
of
angling
,
I
will
tell
you
.
When
I
found
the
substantiall
angling
,
with
the
golden
hooke
,
was
sometime
deuilish
:
the
Metaphoricall
with
the
conceited
hooke
,
was
often
knauish
,
&
the
fantasticall
,
with
the
dreaming
hooke
,
was
foolish
.
I
thought
it
better
liuing
,
as
I
doe
not
farre
hence
,
to
walke
from
my
house
hether
to
the
water
side
:
and
angle
for
a
dish
for
my
supper
,
then
runne
into
the
Towne
I
knowe
not
among
whom
,
to
gape
like
a
Codshead
,
or
so
practise
with
a
knaues
head
,
that
I
may
feare
the
deuill
in
my
conscience
,
ere
I
haue
halfe
made
my
market
for
my
dinner
.
In
déede
sir
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
you
say
well
:
for
when
I
was
a
Scholler
in
the
Uniuersitie
,
many
yeares
a
goe
:
mee
thought
solitarines
was
a
sweete
life
,
it
did
so
auoide
occasions
of
euill
:
but
leauing
my
study
,
and
falling
into
a
little
trauaile
,
I
haue
runne
into
such
a
world
of
varieties
,
that
finding
all
vanities
but
vertue
,
I
had
rather
walke
as
I
doe
somtime
,
to
contemplate
the
hopes
of
the
blessed
,
then
to
runne
vp
and
downe
among
the
confusions
of
the
wicked
.
Truly
sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
I
am
glad
to
heare
a
Scholler
make
so
good
a
benefite
of
his
study
:
as
hauing
escaped
the
snares
of
the
deuill
,
as
it
seemes
you
haue
,
that
you
are
so
adicted
to
serue
God
,
as
I
hope
you
doe
:
but
since
you
haue
beene
both
a
Scholler
and
a
trauailer
,
I
beseech
you
let
mee
be
beholding
to
you
,
for
a
little
both
of
your
learning
&
experience
.
Sir
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
to
acquaint
you
a
little
with
my
learning
,
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
after
such
time
as
I
had
passed
the
Punies
forme
,
that
I
had
gone
through
the
rules
of
my
Grammer
,
reade
ouer
a
little
Poetry
,
and
knew
the
grounds
of
Logick
,
I
fell
to
the
study
of
Philosophy
,
where
finding
Nature
such
a
Mistres
,
and
Reason
such
a
Maister
,
that
they
could
not
agrée
without
patience
,
I
tooke
no
little
delight
to
note
the
deuiding
of
the
quarrell
.
Furthermore
I
found
such
secrets
by
obseruation
,
as
I
would
not
haue
missed
for
a
mountaine
:
As
how
,
I
pray
you
,
quoth
the
Angler
?
Mary
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
will
tell
you
:
touching
the
quarrell
first
I
will
tell
you
.
It
is
in
the
rules
of
Philosophy
,
that
contraries
cannot
at
one
time
be
in
one
subiect
:
which
we
see
otherwise
doe
fall
out
in
a
man
,
that
warmes
his
hands
,
and
cooles
his
pottage
,
and
all
with
one
breath
.
Yea
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
so
a
knaue
may
flatter
his
Maister
,
and
abuse
his
friend
,
and
all
with
one
tongue
:
but
what
of
that
?
I
pray
you
goe
on
:
howe
decide
you
the
quarrell
?
I
will
tell
you
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
by
onely
Magis
,
and
Minus
,
for
in
respect
of
the
cold
,
it
is
warme
,
and
in
respect
of
the
fire
it
is
cold
.
Oh
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
I
vnderstand
you
by
a
Candle
:
which
in
the
dark
giues
a
pretty
light
,
but
in
the
Sunne
it
goes
out
.
True
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
so
is
a
foole
held
wise
,
among
wits
of
weake
vnderstanding
:
but
in
the
iudgement
of
discretion
,
he
is
quickly
decided
.
Now
the
next
point
that
I
learned
in
naturall
Philosophy
,
was
this
:
Naturam
expellas
furca
,
licet
,
vsque
recurret
:
That
which
is
bred
in
the
bone
,
will
neuer
out
of
the
flesh
.
In
déede
,
it
is
hard
to
turne
black
into
any
other
colour
:
Kat
after
kinde
will
be
euer
good
Mouse
hunt
.
In
déede
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
a
Iack-daw
is
neuer
like
a
Tassell-gentill
:
but
by
your
leaue
,
what
was
your
next
note
?
This
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
Contra
principia
non
est
disputandum
:
Which
is
this
in
effect
.
There
is
no
disputing
against
principles
.
Oh
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
you
meane
with
Princes
,
and
good
reason
,
for
their
pretogatiues
are
great
,
and
therefore
their
powers
must
be
absolute
,
their
displeasure
feared
,
and
their
wills
obeied
.
In
deede
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
you
say
true
,
he
is
higher
minded
,
then
witted
,
that
will
contend
with
his
superiors
:
but
that
is
not
the
sence
of
this
sentence
.
There
be
some
Rascalls
called
Athiests
,
that
will
dispute
against
the
maiesty
of
God
.
Oh
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
leaue
them
to
the
mercy
of
the
deuill
:
and
as
you
say
hee
that
is
so
conceited
of
his
wit
,
as
to
goe
from
all
good
vnderstanding
,
let
him
goe
hang
himselfe
in
his
own
Schoole
,
and
God
blesse
me
from
his
learning
.
Amen
,
&
me
to
,
quoth
the
Scholler
:
but
now
to
an
other
point
:
A
particulare
ad
generale
:
non
est
tenenda
ratio
:
Though
one
man
be
true
harted
,
euery
knaue
is
not
to
be
trusted
.
No
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
for
one
Swallow
makes
not
Sommer
:
the
Priest
may
be
an
honest
man
,
and
yet
many
a
knaue
in
the
Parish
:
and
Uirgine
wax
is
for
Christmas
lights
,
which
is
not
solde
by
euery
Chandler
.
True
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
some
men
growe
wealthy
with
good
conscience
,
but
it
is
not
generall
in
these
dayes
.
But
to
leaue
these
Sentences
,
I
will
tell
you
further
of
my
learning
.
I
finde
by
my
reading
,
that
man
was
compounded
of
the
foure
Elements
,
of
fire
,
water
,
earth
,
and
ayre
.
How
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
is
it
possible
?
The
fire
drinke
vp
the
water
,
and
the
earth
dry
vp
the
aire
,
and
when
they
are
consumed
,
what
is
left
to
make
man
of
.
Oh
sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
thus
vnderstand
the
foure
Elements
,
Choller
,
Fleame
,
Blood
,
and
Melancholie
.
Indeede
qd.
the
Angler
,
I
thinke
you
say
true
,
a
chollerick
fellow
,
will
be
angrie
with
his
owne
shadowe
:
and
a
flegmatick
woman
,
hath
her
nose
euer
dropping
:
a
melancholie
foole
,
is
like
a
dreame
of
a
dry
Sommer
:
and
a
sanguine
faced
youth
,
wil
bléede
at
the
nose
if
he
see
a
faire
woman
.
Oh
sir
quoth
the
scholler
,
you
speake
merrilie
,
but
let
mee
tell
you
,
the
chollerick
man
is
soone
augrie
,
and
soone
pleased
:
the
flegmatick
,
is
a
better
land
man
then
a
sea
man
:
the
sanguine
,
is
a
fine
Courtier
:
and
the
melancholie
,
a
great
studient
.
Iust
quoth
the
Angler
:
the
chollericke
is
like
a
hastie
pudding
,
soone
hote
,
soone
cold
:
the
flegmatick
is
like
a
Culles
,
consumed
into
ielly
:
the
sanguine
like
a
Cherrie
tart
,
that
would
say
come
eate
mee
,
ere
I
came
at
it
:
and
the
melancholie
,
like
a
browne
loafe
that
had
beene
halfe
burnt
in
the
baking
.
Truely
sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
haue
not
often
heard
such
descant
vpon
a
plaine
song
:
but
let
mée
tell
you
,
that
without
the
knowledge
of
these
grounds
,
it
is
hard
for
the
Phisition
to
minister
cure
of
a
disease
.
Well
quoth
the
Angler
,
what
soeuer
you
note
by
your
reading
,
this
I
finde
by
obseruation
,
that
fire
is
good
in
Winter
,
and
water
in
Sommer
,
ayre
sweet
in
the
spring
,
and
earth
most
comfortable
in
the
haruest
:
and
good
chéere
and
honest
company
,
makes
a
merry
hart
,
and
a
sound
bodie
.
I
like
not
to
study
too
farre
into
Nature
,
to
forget
God
,
or
to
confound
reason
:
indeede
if
Phisitions
cannot
iudge
of
simples
,
they
may
thinke
of
Com
,
but
they
shall
come
by
few
pounds
.
But
yet
for
all
my
iesting
,
I
pray
you
goe
on
with
your
good
instructions
.
Well
sir
then
qd.
the
scholler
,
the
next
was
this
,
Narura
semper
gignit
sibi
similem
:
an
Eagle
neuer
hatcht
an
Owle
,
nor
of
a
Lyon
came
a
Monkie
.
True
qd.
the
Scholler
,
a
bird
is
commonlie
knowne
by
his
feather
,
for
euerie
long
bill
is
not
a
Woodcock
.
No
quoth
the
Angler
that
is
true
,
and
yet
maister
Constable
may
be
wealthy
,
and
his
sonne
an
vnthrift
.
Oh
quoth
the
scholler
,
hee
may
perhaps
take
after
the
Mother
,
who
did
eate
vp
her
Creame
when
she
should
haue
kept
it
for
Butter
:
but
to
tell
truth
,
a
Greyhound
and
a
Mastiffe
neuer
bréede
but
a
mungrell
.
But
I
will
tell
you
further
of
my
notes
:
I
learne
the
propertie
,
qualitie
and
effect
of
manie
things
,
as
first
and
chiefelie
of
Man
.
Reason
is
proper
to
euery
man
,
honestie
to
many
a
man
:
now
reason
with
honestie
,
effects
credite
with
commendation
.
Well
said
qd.
the
Angler
,
and
contrariwise
,
a
man
may
haue
reason
to
enrich
himselfe
,
but
if
his
qualitie
be
to
be
a
thiefe
or
a
Traytor
,
the
effect
will
be
shame
and
hanging
,
if
he
chaunce
to
scape
hell
after
.
Uery
true
quoth
the
scholler
:
but
now
in
other
things
,
as
in
Corne
,
to
grow
is
the
property
,
to
make
bread
his
quality
,
and
his
effect
is
our
nouriture
.
But
quoth
the
Angler
,
if
the
ground
be
not
well
tilled
,
the
seed
well
fowne
,
and
the
dow
well
kneaded
,
you
may
happen
as
good
be
fasting
,
as
to
keepe
your
stomacke
for
a
loafe
:
but
what
say
you
of
quantitie
?
Indeed
quoth
the
Scholler
you
say
true
:
a
good
quantitie
of
monie
,
will
help
to
grace
a
little
wit
,
but
I
haue
seene
one
no
higher
then
a
horse-loafe
,
wiser
then
a
world
of
wormes-meat
.
But
indéede
according
to
the
quantitie
of
your
Roses
,
you
must
looke
for
your
sweet
water
from
your
Still
.
Oh
sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
you
meane
according
to
the
quantitie
of
your
wit
,
you
must
looke
for
the
sweete
of
your
inuentions
.
Sir
quoth
the
scholler
,
how
soeuer
my
inuentions
are
,
I
am
sure
yours
are
so
quicke
,
that
if
I
were
againe
to
goe
to
schoole
,
I
would
be
glad
of
such
a
Maister
.
Well
qd.
the
Angler
,
flattery
is
an
idle
poynt
of
Rethoricke
,
and
therefore
,
I
pray
you
let
me
intreate
you
to
giue
me
leaue
to
bee
merry
with
you
,
and
craue
a
few
of
your
notes
vppon
your
Morrall
philosophy
.
Sir
quoth
the
scholler
,
in
briefe
,
with
thanks
for
your
kindnes
,
I
will
graunt
your
request
:
My
first
note
was
,
that
Omnes
sibi
melius
esse
male
quam
alterio
:
Euery
man
had
rather
be
his
owne
friende
then
his
neighbours
.
Oh
qd.
the
Angler
,
but
that
is
a
rule
against
good
fellowship
.
Why
so
,
quoth
the
scholler
,
I
think
he
that
will
not
prouide
for
his
owne
breakefast
,
can
hardly
bid
his
friende
to
dinner
.
Well
sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
what
say
you
to
your
sentence
in
this
sence
?
A
young
louer
in
a
cold
night
,
gaue
his
wench
his
cloake
,
and
went
himselfe
in
his
doublet
in
the
raine
.
I
say
quoth
the
scholler
,
loue
is
deerer
then
lyfe
,
and
therefore
,
shée
beeing
the
summe
of
his
harts
ioy
,
hee
preferred
his
Mistres
before
himselfe
,
according
to
the
custome
of
kinde
harts
.
Oh
quoth
the
Angler
,
such
Louers
in
deede
are
pretty
fooles
,
like
the
bird
that
flies
in
the
ayre
,
and
suffereth
his
henne
,
to
hatch
her
egges
on
his
backe
,
while
hee
flies
vp
and
downe
,
for
meat
for
her
dinner
.
But
in
deede
to
tell
you
truth
,
neerer
is
my
skin
then
my
coate
,
and
that
is
the
plaine
sence
of
your
sentence
.
Well
then
qd.
the
scholler
,
to
goe
on
with
another
note
:
Erustra
sapit
qui
non
sapit
sibi
:
He
is
a
foole
for
all
his
wit
,
that
is
not
wise
for
himselfe
.
Indeed
quoth
the
Angler
,
he
that
will
till
his
neighbours
ground
,
before
he
hath
done
with
his
own
,
may
happen
to
haue
Corne
in
the
fielde
,
when
other
haue
theyr
haruest
in
the
Barne
.
Indeed
sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
hee
that
doth
for
other
,
for
I
thanke
you
,
till
hee
say
to
himselfe
I
beshrew
you
,
he
may
haue
more
kinde
wit
,
then
commodious
vnderstanding
:
but
by
your
leaue
,
among
many
that
haue
béen
studients
in
this
course
of
instructiou
,
I
finde
one
notable
vile
creature
,
whose
philosophy
I
may
rather
call
mortall
then
morrall
,
his
notes
are
so
full
of
poyson
,
to
the
spirit
of
all
good
disposition
:
and
this
good
old
Gentleman
,
his
name
was
Machauile
.
Oh
quoth
the
Angler
,
a
vengeance
of
all
villaines
,
I
thinke
there
was
neuer
such
another
,
hee
hath
left
such
deuiltish
lessons
to
the
worlde
,
that
I
thinke
hee
will
hardlie
come
at
heauen
.
I
pray
you
sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
let
mee
intreate
you
to
recite
some
of
them
.
I
will
tell
you
sir
qd.
the
scholler
,
among
many
notes
that
I
tooke
on
t
of
diuers
places
of
his
discourses
,
I
remember
this
was
one
of
the
first
:
That
it
was
good
for
a
man
of
conscience
to
kéep
the
bands
of
his
oath
:
and
yet
when
pollicie
may
purchase
a
good
purse
,
an
oth
hath
béen
ventered
for
a
lesse
matter
then
a
million
.
Ang.
O
bace
companion
,
a
fit
steward
for
the
deuill
,
to
bring
soules
into
hell
.
A
gentle
instruction
to
perswade
a
couetous
spirite
,
to
bring
the
body
and
soule
to
destruction
.
But
by
your
leaue
,
he
that
will
venture
his
own
soule
,
shall
haue
nothing
to
doe
with
my
bodie
.
Wel
,
what
was
the
next
note
?
Mary
quoth
the
Scholler
,
that
Fathers
in
their
gouernment
should
be
feared
of
theyr
Chyldren
:
But
quoth
the
Angler
,
I
am
not
of
his
minde
in
that
poynt
:
for
loue
bréedes
more
assurance
then
feare
dooth
confort
.
But
what
els
?
Sch.
That
it
is
good
for
Maisters
to
be
bountifull
to
their
seruaunts
,
were
it
not
,
that
Keepers
will
say
,
that
fatte
hounds
will
hunt
but
lazilie
.
Yea
quoth
the
Angler
,
such
lessons
as
these
,
driues
so
many
poore
seruing
men
,
that
pay
for
their
owne
liueries
,
to
runne
on
the
skore
for
their
breakefasts
.
But
I
pray
you
what
more
?
Sch.
That
he
that
will
not
curtsie
to
a
Milstone
,
make
musick
to
an
Owle
,
daunce
trenchmore
with
an
Ape
,
and
fall
to
wonder
at
a
Wether-cocke
,
may
hope
after
nuts
,
and
pick
on
shells
for
his
comfort
.
Tush
man
qd.
the
Angler
,
are
these
of
his
notes
?
Not
in
these
wordes
,
but
to
this
effect
aunswered
the
Scholler
.
Indeede
quoth
the
Angler
,
now
that
I
doe
remember
mée
,
I
thinke
he
that
can
carry
a
Ring
in
his
mouth
,
a
booke
vnder
his
arme
,
a
penne
in
his
eare
,
and
a
knife
in
his
pocket
,
may
hap
to
make
himselfe
good
chéere
,
when
better
minds
may
misse
their
dinner
:
but
on
with
your
notes
I
pray
you
.
Sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
will
tell
you
,
I
red
in
certaine
notes
of
a
scholler
of
his
,
that
a
man
that
will
thriue
in
the
world
,
must
haue
his
eye
vpon
one
,
his
hand
vpon
another
,
his
foote
vpon
the
third
,
and
his
tongue
for
the
fourth
:
but
hée
must
not
set
his
hart
vpon
any
of
them
:
for
if
he
grow
in
loue
with
a
woman
,
or
in
league
with
a
friend
so
farre
,
that
he
commit
his
secrets
to
his
keeping
,
his
head
is
vnder
an
others
girdle
,
his
purse
at
an
others
commaund
,
and
his
wits
in
an
others
keeping
:
and
then
,
for
lack
of
a
little
discretion
,
he
may
euen
goe
currant
for
a
foole
.
Oh
this
was
a
pretty
scholler
at
the
deuills
Alphabet
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
was
not
Timon
of
Athens
one
of
the
fathers
of
his
church
?
who
gaue
counsaile
to
the
afflicted
to
hang
themselues
for
their
comfort
.
I
thinke
he
was
quoth
the
scholler
:
but
God
blesse
euery
good
spirit
from
such
a
wicked
kind
of
humor
:
But
to
goe
on
,
I
red
further
,
that
it
was
no
little
proofe
of
wit
,
to
finde
out
a
prodigall
heire
to
vse
him
like
a
younger
brother
:
and
if
there
were
euer
a
Lawyer
of
a
large
conscience
,
what
a
bribe
might
doo
for
a
conueiance
.
Oh
quoth
the
Angler
,
the
pillary
is
a
sit
window
for
such
villaines
to
looke
out
at
.
But
are
these
the
best
notes
that
you
remember
in
his
studie
?
Not
the
best
quoth
the
scholler
,
nor
the
worst
,
but
as
they
come
into
my
head
,
I
tell
you
them
.
I
pray
you
sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
haue
you
not
beene
a
little
red
in
historiographie
,
or
doo
you
not
remember
anie
pretty
accident
that
hath
fallne
out
in
your
trauaile
,
which
in
the
discourse
of
your
kindnes
might
doe
well
to
entertaine
the
tyme
with
?
Trulie
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
was
neuer
any
great
historian
,
neither
hath
my
trauaile
beene
long
,
yet
haue
I
seene
more
then
I
haue
read
:
but
of
eyther
,
as
time
will
giue
mée
leaue
,
I
will
tell
you
a
little
to
laugh
at
.
First
touching
histories
,
or
rather
indeed
fained
tales
,
as
good
as
fables
,
I
red
in
a
booke
whose
Author
I
haue
forgotten
,
a
discourse
of
a
man
whose
name
I
found
not
written
,
but
sith
the
matter
is
somewhat
fresh
in
memory
,
I
will
as
neere
as
I
can
recite
it
,
and
thus
it
was
.
There
was
an
old
man
of
more
age
then
grace
,
who
hauing
spent
all
his
youth
in
byrding
,
fell
in
his
elder
yeeres
to
Conny-catching
,
but
when
the
arest
of
Time
,
brings
the
long
day
to
a
darke
night
,
that
no
coine
coulde
make
excuse
,
for
none
appearance
vpon
the
sommon
,
Death
would
be
satis-fied
with
no
aunswere
,
but
depart
:
thys
old
fellow
,
hauing
a
young
son
,
much
after
the
gréedy
humor
of
his
grosse
Sire
,
before
hee
ended
his
life
,
close
at
his
bedds
side
deliuering
him
vp
the
keyes
of
his
Coffers
,
left
him
thys
lessen
for
a
farewel
:
My
boy
qd.
he
,
if
thou
wilt
be
wise
and
take
heede
,
I
leaue
thee
enough
to
keepe
thee
like
a
man
,
and
therefore
looke
to
thy selfe
,
for
when
thy
money
is
gone
,
thou
maist
goe
hang
thy selfe
for
any
helpe
thou
shalt
haue
of
thy
friends
,
flatter
thee
as
many
as
list
,
as
there
be
knaues
enough
in
the
worlde
,
to
finde
out
a
foole
ere
he
be
halfe
bred
:
but
marke
wel
my
words
,
make
much
of
mony
,
for
t
is
a
iewell
in
these
daies
.
If
thou
haue
land
and
mony
,
a
faire
house
,
and
a
good
purse
,
then
,
if
thy
nose
stood
in
thy
forehead
,
and
thine
eyes
in
thine
elbowes
,
thy
head
like
a
paued
causie
betweene
two
thinne
growne
hedges
,
nere
a
good
tooth
in
thy
head
,
good
word
in
thy
mouth
,
nor
good
thought
in
thy
hart
,
yet
if
thou
hast
thy
purse
well
lined
,
thou
shalt
haue
prayers
of
the
begger
,
a
curtsie
of
thy
follower
,
welcom
of
thy
friend
,
and
perhaps
a
glaunce
of
a
faire
Lady
:
if
not
,
thou
shalt
haue
a
wench
that
shall
ride
as
merrily
to
the
market
,
as
if
she
were
sette
on
a
side
saddle
of
the
best
fashion
.
Nowe
,
if
thy
money
bee
gone
,
the
begger
is
thy
companion
,
the
foole
bidds
thee
welcome
to
a
Pescod
,
the
knaue
stands
&
laughes
at
thee
,
and
the
honest
man
,
perhaps
more
pitties
thée
than
releeues
thee
:
the
proude
man
scornes
thee
,
thy
vertues
are
buried
,
thy
name
is
forgotten
,
thy
qualities
are
trifles
,
thy
learning
but
lost
,
thy
wit
but
folly
,
and
thy
honestie
put
to
no
vse
:
thy
friend
regards
thee
not
,
thy
wench
knowes
thee
not
,
and
thy
foe
spares
thee
not
:
and
thou
art
left
to
sorrow
to
make
an
end
of
thy
miseries
,
or
by
some
desperat
course
to
fall
into
Gods
forbid
.
And
therefore
my
boy
make
much
of
thy
money
,
it
will
bring
thee
musick
when
thou
art
melancholie
,
phisick
when
thou
art
sick
,
&
company
when
thou
art
solitary
.
Remember
what
I
say
,
looke
to
the
maine
chaunce
:
Aurum
potabile
wil
fetch
him
to
life
that
is
halfe
dead
.
Be
true
to
thy
Prince
for
feare
of
hanging
:
bee
not
busie
with
religion
for
feare
of
trouble
:
striue
not
with
power
for
feare
of
a
fall
,
and
spende
not
thy
mony
for
feare
to
goe
a
begging
:
Loe
,
this
is
all
I
haue
to
say
to
thée
,
oh
I
haue
a
paine
at
my
hart
,
and
so
hée
died
.
Why
quoth
the
Angler
,
did
hee
neuer
bidde
him
serue
God
,
nor
call
himselfe
on
him
for
comfort
?
Alas
quoth
the
Scholler
,
how
could
he
thinke
on
God
,
and
the
deuill
alway
so
neere
him
?
Well
quoth
the
Angler
,
wee
must
not
iudge
any
man
,
but
I
woulde
be
loth
to
be
his
halfe
at
the
day
of
Doome
.
But
I
pray
you
what
other
pretty
history
or
deuised
tale
haue
you
read
in
some
other
humor
,
that
may
serue
the
turne
to
passe
away
the
time
withall
.
Sir
quoth
the
scholler
,
I
haue
red
many
pretty
toyes
,
too
tedious
at
this
time
to
call
to
memory
,
but
among
all
I
remember
one
pretty
discourse
of
a
Lady
and
her
seruaunt
.
Oh
quoth
the
Angler
,
I
beléene
t
is
a
loue
tale
,
if
it
be
it
shall
be
welcome
.
For
,
to
tell
you
true
,
though
I
be
in
this
tyme
of
my
declining
youth
,
an
vnfit
dauncer
in
such
a
Morice
,
yet
let
me
euer
loue
musicke
,
though
I
cannot
tune
a
virginall
:
it
is
a
good
confirming
of
my
repentance
,
to
héere
a
president
of
my
imperfection
.
Then
sir
qd.
the
scholler
,
thus
it
was
,
or
at
least
was
said
to
be
.
In
the
Iland
of
ill
fortune
,
where
idle
heads
seeke
for
fauours
,
and
vertue
hath
little
countenaunce
,
where
money
is
the
great
Monarch
,
it
fell
out
that
in
the
court
of
the
Duke
of
Calliflorida
,
among
many
creatures
of
woorthy
commendation
,
there
was
one
especiall
faire
Lady
of
so
honourable
a
spirit
,
and
excellent
a
wit
,
as
gaue
the
wise
admiration
,
in
her
conference
,
and
the
valiant
,
happines
in
her
fauour
:
this
pure
Diamond
among
a
number
of
faire
iewels
,
I
meane
this
kinde
of
Angelicall
creature
,
among
a
troope
of
swéet
Ladies
,
as
shee
could
not
but
be
honoured
of
many
,
so
was
shee
especially
followed
with
the
affectionate
seruice
of
one
woorthy
Caualiero
,
aboue
many
other
:
much
there
was
to
bee
commended
in
them
both
,
but
let
this
for
my
discourse
suffice
,
shee
was
excéeding
faire
and
wise
,
and
he
no
lesse
kinde
then
trulie
valiant
,
but
as
it
seemed
by
that
which
was
written
of
them
,
his
vnderstanding
was
inferiour
to
her
wit
,
whose
beautie
had
the
commaund
of
his
resolution
.
Long
had
this
poore
Gentleman
with
the
silence
of
loue
followed
this
princely
Lady
:
who
more
fauouring
his
discretion
,
then
reuealing
her
owne
conceite
,
tooke
this
occasion
one
faire
euening
in
a
pleasant
Garden
,
to
single
her selfe
from
company
,
and
in
a
solitary
walke
,
espying
her
seruant
all
alone
,
met
him
sodainly
at
a
halfe
turne
,
when
putting
vp
her
Maske
to
salute
his
reuerence
with
a
word
of
fauour
,
as
though
her
comming
thether
had
beene
by
chaunce
,
which
was
done
in
deede
of
set
purpose
,
shee
entertained
the
time
with
this
spéech
.
Sir
,
quoth
she
,
thus
you
see
the
course
of
the
world
:
each
conceite
hath
his
crosse
,
and
a
woman
a
crosse
conceite
to
a
thousand
.
I
am
snre
you
little
thought
,
choosing
out
this
solitary
walke
,
for
the
better
passage
of
your
meditations
,
to
méete
so
vnhappily
,
and
vnlooked
for
,
with
the
subiect
of
so
much
trouble
.
The
poore
Gentleman
little
expecting
either
so
kinde
a
companion
,
or
so
swéet
a
speech
,
with
no
little
gladnes
,
made
the
Lady
this
aunswere
.
Good
Madam
,
to
make
a
trouble
of
comfort
,
were
so
vnkinde
a
construction
of
happines
,
as
howsoeuer
other
conceiue
of
it
,
I
desire
not
to
be
acquainted
with
it
:
but
when
the
hart
of
a
poore
Souldiour
,
had
rather
with
his
sword
make
way
for
his
Mistres
honour
,
then
with
his
tongue
for
his
owne
fauour
.
Let
me
humbly
perswade
so
farre
with
your
good
discretion
,
that
if
in
the
kindnes
of
your
commaund
,
you
will
vouchsafe
the
employment
of
my
seruice
,
I
doe
not
doubt
but
that
in
the
proofe
of
my
action
,
you
will
easily
sée
my
affection
,
which
in
the
onely
hope
of
your
good
countenance
,
shall
set
vp
the
rest
of
my
worlds
honour
:
To
which
short
spéech
the
Lady
no
lesse
quicke
witted
,
then
well
reade
,
made
him
this
sodaine
aunswere
.
Oh
sir
,
Souldiours
generally
are
of
that
imperious
humour
,
that
they
had
rather
commaund
a
looke
then
yéeld
to
a
tittle
:
and
in
mine
opinion
,
if
Cupid
were
now
aliue
,
Mars
would
cut
his
bow-string
,
ere
he
should
doe
any
good
with
his
arrowes
,
so
that
by
want
of
the
company
of
good
spirits
,
Diana
might
kéepe
alone
in
the
Woods
,
while
Venus
might
make
her
will
in
her
Chamber
.
Truly
Madame
,
aunswered
the
Knight
,
I
know
not
what
fed
the
Poets
wits
,
to
faine
such
fables
as
are
written
:
but
for
my selfe
while
in
your
vertue
,
I
behold
the
obiect
of
my
honour
,
I
will
rather
diuote
my
seruice
to
your
worthines
,
then
trouble
my selfe
with
trifles
that
I
dare
not
trust
,
as
are
the
fictions
of
idle
heads
,
or
the
painted
couers
of
inward
imperfections
.
Sir
Knight
quoth
the
Lady
,
by
the
little
sight
of
our
eye
,
wee
behold
a
great
circuite
of
the
earth
:
and
shall
not
the
spirit
of
our
vnderstanding
through
the
eye
of
our
minde
,
behold
the
light
of
that
truth
,
that
may
leade
the
care
of
our
reason
,
to
the
content
of
our
conceite
?
I
hope
the
best
:
and
though
as
a
mist
may
dim
the
sight
of
the
eye
,
and
dissembling
the
sence
of
the
mind
,
yet
for
that
I
will
try
before
I
doubt
,
and
commaund
before
I
fauour
:
let
the
patience
of
your
discretion
attend
the
pleasure
of
my
employment
:
and
for
all
courses
what
soeuer
fall
out
,
if
I
doe
you
good
,
be
glad
,
not
proud
of
it
,
and
open
not
your
window
to
the
Sunne
,
when
she
hath
power
to
sende
her
beames
through
the
glasse
:
and
so
not
entertaining
your
seruice
,
till
I
may
acquaint
you
with
my
best
content
:
I
pray
you
walke
aside
for
this
time
:
For
I
sée
a
Gallant
,
that
I
must
talke
with
,
and
will
soone
be
rid
of
.
The
good
Knight
vnwilliug
,
by
any
motion
of
discontent
to
put
out
the
fire
,
that
was
now
in
kindling
with
humble
thanks
tooke
his
leaue
,
and
left
his
Lady
to
her
new
Louer
:
who
no
sooner
came
neere
her
,
but
obseruing
all
fine
ceremonies
,
with
kissing
his
hand
,
in
putting
off
his
hat
,
with
a
Passa
measure
pace
comming
toward
her
swéet
presence
,
gréetes
her
with
this
salutation
.
Faire
Ladie
,
the
Quintescence
of
your
beauties
excellence
,
hath
so
enflamed
the
spirit
of
my
affection
,
that
except
I
haue
fauour
in
your
eyes
,
my
hart
will
surely
consume
to
ashes
:
and
therefore
if
my
seruice
may
haue
acceptation
in
your
contentment
,
I
will
not
be
behind
with
my
good
will
to
execute
the
office
of
your
commaund
.
The
Lady
with
a
blushing
smile
at
this
wise
Gentlemans
formality
,
made
him
this
quicke
and
quipping
aunswer
.
Sir
,
if
your
new
coyned
eloquence
were
not
too
farre
out
of
the
way
of
mine
vnderstanding
,
I
would
fit
you
an
aunswere
to
your
motion
:
but
since
silence
can
best
talke
with
woodden
Rethoricke
,
I
pray
you
sir
if
you
haue
any
thing
to
say
to
me
,
let
me
plainely
know
your
meaning
:
Why
,
quoth
this
Whippet
,
if
I
should
tell
you
I
loue
you
,
and
you
beléeue
it
not
,
if
you
beléeue
it
,
and
yet
regard
it
not
,
if
you
regard
it
,
and
yet
confesse
it
not
:
what
shall
I
be
the
better
to
speake
plainliar
then
I
haue
reason
?
Well
sir
,
quoth
the
Lady
,
to
this
aboundance
of
little
wit
,
if
I
did
like
to
study
vpon
such
Riddles
,
I
should
perhaps
trouble
my selfe
to
finde
out
a
fit
aunswere
for
the
cipher
of
reason
.
But
to
tell
you
plaine
,
your
loue
I
knowe
not
,
your selfe
I
loue
not
,
your
words
I
regard
not
,
and
how
you
take
it
I
care
not
:
But
if
you
haue
any
thing
to
say
to
any
other
ende
,
I
will
heare
you
as
I
thinke
good
,
and
aunswere
you
as
I
sée
cause
.
Why
then
Madam
,
quoth
he
,
to
tell
you
plaine
,
my
Lord
your
Father
saw
you
out
of
his
window
walking
with
Signor
Felio
,
and
vpon
the
sodaine
willed
me
to
come
for
you
.
Well
sir
,
quoth
the
Lady
,
nothing
dismaide
at
the
message
,
I
am
ready
to
attend
his
pleasure
,
though
I
wish
he
had
sent
a
fitter
seruant
to
mine
humour
.
But
to
make
as
short
tale
as
I
may
sending
word
by
this
odde
Gallant
,
that
she
would
forth-with
attend
his
pleasure
,
calling
to
her
a
Gentlewoman
,
that
shee
sawe
sitting
in
an
Ar●our
somewhat
néere
vnto
her
,
taking
her
in
her
attendance
,
away
shee
goes
to
her
good
Father
,
who
with
a
naturall
kindnes
dissembling
his
discontent
,
in
suspect
of
the
talk
had
betwixt
her
and
Don
Felio
,
with
a
smiling
countenance
entertained
her
with
this
welcome
:
taking
her
by
the
hand
,
and
leading
her
into
his
Gallery
,
he
began
in
priuat
thus
to
fall
in
talke
with
her
.
My
best
girle
,
whom
aboue
all
the
children
that
I
haue
,
I
most
estéeme
in
the
true
ioy
of
my
hart
,
and
well
woorthy
,
for
thy
good
caridge
in
all
courses
,
as
well
for
thy
dutie
towards
mée
,
as
thy
reputation
in
the
world
,
I
must
confesse
,
I
neuer
had
cause
to
suspect
thy
discretion
in
anie
cause
of
dislike
,
but
if
a
Fathers
care
prooue
a
kinde
of
iealousie
,
excuse
the
error
in
aboundance
of
loue
,
and
tell
me
truth
to
a
question
that
I
wil
put
vnto
thee
.
The
swéet
Ladie
,
not
willing
to
delay
her
Father
with
long
circumstance
,
with
a
modest
countenaunce
,
not
once
altering
her
colour
,
but
keeping
the
care
of
her
wit
,
intreated
his
commaundement
of
her
dutie
:
who
in
kinde
manner
made
her
this
speech
.
I
haue
béene
heere
in
my
Gallary
walking
most
part
of
this
euening
,
and
looking
out
at
one
of
these
windowes
,
I
espied
Don
Felio
all
alone
,
walking
a
turne
or
two
in
the
long
walke
,
where
hée
had
béene
but
a
while
,
when
you
found
him
in
his
Muses
,
and
entertained
him
,
or
he
you
,
I
knowe
not
with
what
conference
.
The
man
is
one
that
I
loue
,
and
will
be
gladde
to
preferre
to
any
honour
that
he
deserueth
,
but
I
pray
thee
tel
mée
,
what
was
the
substance
of
your
talke
?
Truely
Father
,
quoth
Madam
Fianta
,
for
so
was
her
name
,
I
would
gladly
tell
it
you
if
I
might
presume
vpon
her
patience
,
and
not
doubt
your
displeasure
,
I
will
acquaint
you
with
asmuch
as
I
can
remember
.
The
Duke
expecting
another
matter
then
she
deliuered
,
with
a
dissembled
countenaunce
of
promised
content
,
willed
her
boldlie
to
say
her
minde
.
Then
good
Father
quoth
the
Lady
,
thus
it
is
:
little
thinking
to
find
any
creature
in
that
walk
,
when
fingling
my selfe
from
my
company
,
I
tooke
my
Booke
of
Da
plisses
in
my
hand
,
and
meant
to
contemplate
some
diuine
contentations
,
béeing
néere
vnto
him
ere
I
was
aware
,
and
loth
either
to
disgrace
him
with
entreating
his
absence
,
or
vpon
the
suddaine
to
withdrawe
my selfe
from
his
companie
,
in
such
good
maner
as
it
might
well
beseeme
him
,
he
saluted
me
with
this
spéech
.
Honourable
Ladie
,
I
am
sorry
that
it
is
my
ill
happe
to
become
a
trouble
is
your
contentiue
solitarines
:
but
howe
dooth
my
good
Ladie
,
and
your
good
Father
?
Him
quoth
I
,
in
good
health
I
left
not
long
since
,
and
my selfe
you
sée
,
not
troubled
with
good
companie
:
but
what
shoulde
make
Don
Felio
to
chuse
thys
solemne
place
for
his
solace
?
Alas
Madam
,
quoth
the
poore
Knight
,
I
dare
speake
to
your
Ladiship
,
who
in
the
pitty
of
your
vertue
haue
euer
béene
a
good
furtherer
of
all
sutes
of
your
Fathers
seruants
:
so
ill
hath
béen
my
hap
,
that
after
the
spending
of
many
yeeres
,
loosing
of
no
little
blood
,
and
wasting
of
some
part
of
my
little
substance
,
nowe
there
is
no
vse
for
mée
in
his
warres
,
to
make
my
aduenture
vppon
the
enemie
,
my
yéeres
growing
to
that
height
,
that
I
must
before
the
declining
of
my
best
age
,
put
my
wits
to
some
worke
for
the
better
reléefe
of
my
poore
carkasse
,
and
maintaining
of
my
meane
estate
:
hauing
had
a
long
sute
vnto
him
,
which
by
the
crosnesse
of
my
backe
friends
I
am
almost
now
out
of
hope
to
enioy
,
I
am
deuising
not
far
hence
néere
vnto
the
Cittie
,
in
a
large
Orchard
that
I
haue
belonging
to
my
house
,
to
set
vp
an
Ape-baiting
:
which
beeing
a
new
matter
,
and
neuer
in
practise
,
at
least
,
that
euer
I
haue
heard
in
this
Countrie
,
will
tole
a
world
of
wise
people
together
,
who
shall
pay
euerie
one
for
his
comming
in
,
howsoeuer
they
repent
it
at
their
going
out
:
nowe
I
will
tell
you
in
what
maner
it
shall
be
.
I
will
haue
an
Ape
tied
to
a
great
logge
,
which
shall
be
rounde
about
besette
with
Bée-hiues
,
and
when
the
Ape
is
sette
among
them
,
his
nature
is
to
catch
at
any
thing
that
buzzeth
in
his
care
,
now
when
on
Bée
hath
béene
about
him
,
and
hee
fall
to
catch
and
misse
,
that
Bee
will
bring
another
,
and
that
another
,
till
in
a
little
time
Iacke
will
be
so
stunge
,
that
what
with
mowing
,
crying
,
and
skipping
,
he
will
make
sport
enough
for
a
penny
.
Now
before
the
sport
begin
,
there
shall
at
the
enterance
into
the
Garden
sitte
a
blinde
man
,
and
a
deafe
woman
,
disputing
an
argument
of
loue
,
and
at
the
further
end
of
the
Alley
,
a
Bagpipe
and
a
Gittr●n
,
play
Trenchmore
to
a
Tinkers
dogge
.
Now
will
not
this
doo
well
for
a
deuise
,
to
helpe
a
poore
man
to
a
little
mony
?
Nowe
fie
Sir
,
quoth
I
,
lay
away
this
melancholy
humour
,
I
will
rather
be
your
friend
to
my
Father
,
and
help
you
to
a
farre
better
matter
,
then
you
shall
purchase
by
this
badde
or
base
inuention
:
and
therefore
I
pray
you
to
lay
aside
your
determination
in
this
poynt
,
till
you
heare
further
from
mee
of
my
Father
.
The
good
olde
Prince
,
little
thinking
his
pretty
Monkie
could
vpon
the
suddaine
haue
deuised
this
Apish
tale
,
giuing
credite
to
her
discourse
,
made
her
this
ioyfull
aunswere
.
My
deere
Fianta
,
I
must
confesse
,
he
hath
had
back-friends
in
his
fortune
,
yet
hath
not
his
desert
lien
dead
in
my
fauour
:
for
no
longer
then
yesterday
,
haue
I
signed
,
and
caused
my
seale
to
be
set
to
the
graunt
of
his
sute
,
which
to
morrow
thou
shalt
giue
him
,
with
my
purse
full
of
gold
,
for
hée
is
one
that
I
loue
deerelie
,
how
soeuer
I
make
shew
of
lesse
matter
:
soone
at
night
forget
not
to
come
to
me
for
it
.
And
so
with
a
few
other
good
words
,
left
her
to
her
best
company
to
her
liking
:
who
the
next
morning
,
hauing
receiued
her
fathers
blessing
,
with
his
bountifull
tokens
of
fauour
to
his
seruant
,
secretlie
sent
to
the
Knight
,
to
meet
her
in
the
walke
where
he
left
her
.
The
message
not
a
little
welcome
,
made
him
not
long
in
comming
to
his
déere
Mistresse
,
of
whom
receiuing
for
the
terme
of
three-score
yeeres
,
the
gift
of
a
statelie
house
,
with
diuers
goodly
Lordshippes
and
Parks
to
the
same
belonging
,
with
his
purse
full
of
mony
,
the
better
to
defray
his
charges
,
with
humble
thanks
to
his
gracious
Maister
,
and
no
lesse
to
his
deere
Mistresse
,
who
had
thoroughly
acquainted
him
with
the
course
shee
had
taken
for
him
,
according
to
her
secret
direction
hastend
himselfe
into
the
Country
,
where
after
a
few
loue-letters
that
had
passed
betwixt
them
,
within
a
little
time
the
Duke
died
,
and
his
daughter
(
with
her
dowrie
)
made
a
match
with
her
true
Knight
.
Oh
fine
tale
quoth
the
Angler
,
made
vpon
the
fingers
ends
:
for
it
coulde
not
be
but
there
were
many
crosse
tricks
in
the
Cardes
ere
the
game
went
about
,
but
you
see
the
time
is
short
,
and
therefore
you
doe
well
to
abridge
the
best
.
But
now
Sir
,
if
in
kindnes
I
may
,
I
pray
you
let
mee
intreat
a
little
of
your
trauaile
,
what
you
haue
noted
in
your
passage
to
and
fro
.
Sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
to
tell
you
a
little
heere
&
there
what
I
haue
séene
and
noted
,
I
am
contented
:
and
therefore
to
be
short
,
I
will
tell
you
in
one
Country
where
I
came
I
sawe
a
strange
wonder
:
for
where
as
in
many
other
Countries
men
did
vse
to
eate
vp
the
shéepe
,
in
that
Country
sheep
had
eaten
vp
both
the
men
&
their
houses
.
For
in
the
pastures
,
where
I
sawe
great
flocks
of
sheepe
féeding
,
I
might
néere
vnto
certaine
foote-pathes
,
behold
heere
and
there
a
péece
of
an
olde
stone
causie
,
which
had
béen
in
times
past
some
stréete
or
by
lane
,
in
some
Towne
or
Uillage
,
but
nowe
there
was
neither
house
nor
towne
,
nor
man
left
,
more
then
the
Sheepheard
,
and
his
sheepish
Maister
to
looke
vpon
them
:
this
was
one
of
my
first
notes
.
In
an
other
Country
I
found
by
the
spéech
of
the
people
,
a
great
alteration
of
men
,
for
a
number
of
Gentlemen
of
auncient
race
,
by
the
wretched
course
of
fortune
,
or
folly
of
their
owne
or
theyr
friends
indiscretion
,
were
gone
from
the
Court
to
the
Cart
,
and
the
sonne
of
What
lacke
you
,
was
become
the
onely
right
worshipfull
.
This
is
my
second
note
.
Well
Sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
touching
your
first
note
,
let
me
tell
you
,
that
the
Wethers
wooll
sticks
not
in
the
Graziers
teeth
,
and
a
good
purse
with
quiet
,
makes
one
plough
worth
two
swords
.
But
on
I
pray
you
with
some
more
of
your
notes
,
for
I
like
these
very
well
.
I
will
tell
you
quoth
the
Scholler
,
in
one
Country
where
I
came
,
I
sawe
the
Woods
so
braue
it
with
great
trées
,
and
the
Barnes
so
florish
with
sheaues
of
Corne
,
that
a
number
of
poore
people
died
with
hunger
and
cold
.
Alas
quoth
the
Angler
,
that
is
too
common
in
many
Countries
:
but
indeede
it
is
pittie
to
see
such
dogged
mindes
among
Christians
,
or
at
least
,
such
as
make
profession
of
Christianitie
:
but
on
I
pray
you
with
your
discourse
.
In
an
other
Country
quoth
the
Scholler
,
I
saw
one
yeere
such
bloodshed
,
that
there
hath
béen
warres
there
euer
since
.
Alas
quoth
the
Angler
,
the
massacre
in
Paris
can
be
your
witnesse
for
that
truth
:
where
the
deuill
and
the
Pope
made
the
Duke
of
Guise
the
chiefe
murtherer
.
In
another
Country
quoth
the
scholler
,
I
sawe
men
giuen
so
to
drinke
,
that
God
to
punish
theyr
sinne
,
drowned
a
great
part
of
the
Land
.
You
say
true
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
they
that
poure
so
much
liquor
into
their
owne
bellies
,
deserue
to
haue
some
water
in
their
beds
:
but
procéede
I
pray
you
.
In
an
other
Countrey
I
saw
many
pretty
accidents
,
though
of
no
great
importance
,
yet
worth
the
noting
:
of
which
one
I
remember
,
which
I
am
perswaded
will
make
you
smile
to
heare
,
if
at
the
least
I
can
hit
neere
the
manner
of
it
,
as
I
heard
it
.
I
pray
you
hartily
quoth
the
Angler
,
let
me
be
beholding
to
you
for
it
.
Not
so
,
quoth
the
Scholler
,
but
to
content
your
kindnes
,
thus
it
was
.
Hauing
trauailed
long
vppon
a
rainy
day
,
and
after
a
weary
iourney
beeing
somewhat
wet
,
come
into
mine
Inne
,
beeing
brought
into
the
Parlour
to
mine
Hoast
,
who
it
séemed
by
his
shéepe-furd
short
gowne
,
to
be
the
Officer
for
the
Parish
,
I
meane
the
pinching
of
bread
,
and
nicking
of
pots
,
besides
,
prisoning
of
theeues
,
carrying
beggers
to
the
stocks
,
and
watching
of
the
Towne
at
midnight
,
that
it
ranne
not
ouer
the
bridge
,
for
lacke
of
a
gate
to
kéepe
it
in
before
morning
,
and
keeping
the
kay
of
the
Cage
,
and
the
Cucking-stoole
,
after
the
manner
of
some
formall
Constable
:
this
substantiall
Yeoman
,
who
as
it
should
seeme
to
be
the
Sonne
of
some
Flesh-monger
,
as
Muttons
,
Béefes
,
and
such
like
commodious
kinde
of
Beasts
,
who
together
with
his
Inkéeping
,
and
the
helpe
of
Maide
Marian
,
a
good
Hostes
to
draw
on
gesse
,
could
with
his
grosse
nodle
,
making
a
night
gowne
of
an
Oxe-hide
,
kéepe
himselfe
warme
in
a
colde
Winter
,
and
purchase
not
onely
the
house
that
he
dwelt
in
,
for
this
young
Gentleman
his
biggest
Sonne
,
but
some
olde
Ruddocks
for
his
young
Roiles
,
hauing
brought
vp
this
his
heire
for
sometime
at
the
free
Schoole
,
and
a
little
before
his
death
put
him
to
the
Uniuersity
,
made
this
cipher
of
wisedome
,
to
obserue
his
Fathers
rule
,
in
the
education
of
a
Sonne
of
his
,
who
a
little
after
my
comming
in
,
came
home
to
his
Father
from
the
Acadeime
,
as
it
seemed
,
being
sent
for
by
his
Parents
,
against
the
Christmas
hollidayes
,
to
be
posed
by
Maister
Parson
:
but
to
be
short
,
after
wee
had
supped
,
mine
Hoast
calling
for
a
chaire
for
himselfe
,
and
an
other
for
me
,
to
enuiron
a
good
warme
banke
,
of
Sea-coale
fire
,
few
gesse
being
that
night
in
the
house
,
began
to
examine
his
Sonne
of
his
study
in
this
maner
.
Come
hether
Sirra
,
how
haue
you
spent
these
fiue
last
yeares
,
that
I
haue
beene
at
no
little
charge
with
you
for
your
learning
?
Let
me
heare
you
what
haue
you
read
,
since
you
gaue
ouer
your
Grammer
,
and
your
Cato
,
and
those
toyes
.
Sir
,
quoth
the
Boy
,
with
a
crooked
curtsie
,
I
first
read
Logick
:
Logick
,
quoth
the
old
man
,
a
vengeance
on
it
,
what
should
you
doe
with
it
,
an
onely
cunning
of
wit
to
play
the
knaue
with
a
plaine
meaning
:
a
proper
trick
of
treason
,
to
maintaine
a
lye
against
truth
.
Well
,
what
next
?
Forsooth
,
quoth
the
Boy
Rethorick
:
iust
quoth
the
old
man
,
an
other
fine
peece
of
learning
to
teach
a
lewd
minde
to
paint
out
a
false
tale
with
faire
words
:
but
what
more
?
Forsooth
,
quoth
the
Boy
,
the
next
was
naturall
Philosophy
.
What
,
quoth
hee
,
doost
thou
meane
to
be
a
Phisition
?
Use
abstinence
,
and
keepe
good
diet
,
and
care
not
a
pin
for
the
Apothicary
.
But
on
with
the
rest
:
what
else
?
Forsooth
,
quoth
he
,
Moral
Philosophy
:
What
,
quoth
the
olde
man
,
to
learne
to
léere
,
and
looke
bigge
,
to
curtsie
,
and
kisse
the
hand
,
to
be
at
your
siluer
forke
,
and
your
pick-tooth
?
Sirra
,
it
is
not
for
your
Fathers
sonne
,
to
trouble
his
head
with
these
trifles
,
your
Father
followes
the
Cart
,
and
thou
art
not
shaped
for
a
Courtier
:
but
well
,
is
this
all
:
or
is
there
any
more
yet
?
Yea
forsooth
,
quoth
the
yong
man
,
I
haue
reade
a
little
of
Arithmatique
:
that
quoth
the
olde
Sir
,
I
shall
finde
by
the
account
of
your
battailing
:
where
,
if
In
primis
,
and
Item
,
make
Totalis
,
aboue
allowance
,
I
will
take
you
from
your
booke
,
and
teach
you
another
profession
:
but
what
else
?
Forsooth
quoth
hee
,
I
haue
a
little
looked
into
Musique
.
How
now
,
quoth
his
Father
,
what
,
art
thou
mad
,
to
be
a
Fidler
?
A
head
full
of
Crochets
kept
neuer
wit
in
good
compasse
:
but
on
I
pray
thée
with
the
rest
?
Forsooth
,
quoth
the
Stripling
,
I
haue
reade
somwhat
of
Geomatry
.
Oh
quoth
the
Father
,
I
like
that
well
,
thou
meanest
to
saue
charges
,
when
thou
hast
timber
of
thine
owne
,
thou
wilt
not
be
beholding
to
the
Plough-wright
:
but
a
little
more
.
What
else
?
Forsooth
quoth
he
,
my
Tutor
was
beginning
me
with
Astrologie
.
What
quoth
the
olde
man
,
teach
thée
to
goe
to
Tennis
with
the
whole
world
?
No
,
the
ball
is
too
bigge
for
the
best
Racket
of
his
braine
:
but
haue
you
looked
nothing
into
Astronomy
?
Yes
forsooth
quoth
he
,
and
whereto
,
quoth
his
Father
?
To
learne
to
lye
in
an
Almanacke
,
to
cosen
fooles
with
faire
weather
.
But
what
haue
you
learned
of
Diuinity
?
Forsooth
quoth
the
youth
but
little
as
yet
,
onely
a
few
rules
of
Cathechising
:
yea
so
I
thought
,
quoth
olde
Twagge
?
Well
,
this
is
a
wretched
world
,
to
sée
how
new
Schoole-men
,
haue
a
new
fashion
in
their
teaching
:
they
were
wont
to
teach
little
children
when
I
went
first
to
schoole
,
before
they
learned
one
letter
,
to
say
,
Christes
crosse
be
my
speede
and
the
holy
Ghost
,
but
nowe
among
a
number
,
Christ
,
his
Crosse
,
and
his
holy
Spirit
,
is
so
little
taught
among
little
schollers
,
that
it
is
almost
forgot
among
great
Maisters
.
But
leauing
spelling
and
put
together
,
which
is
eastlie
learned
in
a
Horne-booke
,
let
me
tell
you
some-what
of
all
your
studies
that
you
neuer
heard
yet
at
schoole
,
and
if
you
marke
it
well
,
perhaps
it
shall
do
you
no
hurt
.
Begin
first
with
Diuinitie
,
learne
to
know
God
,
and
know
all
,
know
not
him
,
and
know
nothing
:
Learne
to
know
him
in
his
power
,
to
loue
him
in
his
mercie
,
to
honour
him
in
his
goodnes
,
to
beleeue
him
in
his
worde
,
and
to
confesse
him
in
his
glory
.
Apply
this
knowledge
to
your
comfort
,
and
be
thankfull
for
your
blessing
in
his
grace
:
know
him
I
say
,
humbly
,
loue
him
faithfully
,
serue
him
truly
,
and
pray
to
him
hartily
,
and
so
in
despight
of
the
deuill
,
how
euer
the
world
goe
with
thée
,
thou
shalt
be
sure
of
the
ioyes
of
heauen
.
Now
,
for
your
Logick
,
learne
to
maintaine
a
truth
,
and
to
confound
the
contrary
:
For
Rethorick
,
onely
learne
this
out
of
it
,
that
to
speake
much
in
a
few
words
,
is
a
good
note
of
a
wise
Scholler
.
Now
for
Arithmatique
,
it
is
not
amisse
in
time
of
hast
to
make
a
reckoning
quickly
:
but
take
héede
,
that
reckoning
without
an
Hoast
,
put
not
thy
purse
to
a
new
expence
.
For
Musique
,
a
merry
hart
is
worth
tenne
crowdes
,
and
a
Bagpipe
.
And
for
Philosophy
,
it
is
better
to
vse
her
effects
,
then
know
her
secrets
:
And
for
Moralities
,
be
not
too
sawcie
with
thy
betters
,
nor
too
familiar
with
base
people
,
coy
to
thy
friends
,
nor
too
kinde
to
fooles
,
and
with
a
little
obseruation
of
times
and
places
,
thou
shalt
be
a
Philosopher
without
booke
.
Now
for
Geometry
,
rather
learne
,
and
study
to
purchase
Land
,
then
build
houses
:
for
it
is
a
cost
will
soone
decay
,
and
titles
in
these
dayes
are
tickle
holdes
to
trust
to
.
Now
for
Astrologie
,
rather
loue
a
Mole-hill
of
thine
owne
,
then
a
Mountatne
of
thy
neighbours
:
and
for
Astronimy
,
rather
kéepe
thée
in
the
warmth
of
the
Sunne
,
then
follow
the
shadow
of
the
Moone
:
and
whatsoeuer
you
learne
by
the
booke
,
be
sure
to
haue
this
alwayes
by
hart
:
Crumena
sine
pecunia
,
quasi
corpus
sine
anima
:
A
purse
without
money
is
like
a
body
without
a
soule
:
and
therefore
whatsoeuer
you
remember
,
forget
not
your
purse
,
I
meane
your
money
:
for
when
I
was
young
,
I
saw
manie
doo
so
much
in
many
things
,
that
there
was
almost
nothing
doone
,
(
I
meane
for
worldly
matters
)
without
it
.
I
remember
,
not
a
mile
from
the
towne
where
I
dwelt
,
I
saw
a
swéet
young
soule
married
to
a
sower
old
Sir
,
onelie
for
mony
,
&
hard
at
the
townes
end
many
a
proper
man
make
his
will
vpon
the
gallowes
,
and
onely
for
mony
.
I
sawe
a
knaue
that
had
cosend
his
father
,
loose
his
cares
on
the
pillary
for
many
.
I
saw
some
drawne
,
hangd
and
quartered
,
for
clipping
of
money
.
Some
misers
growe
mad
to
part
with
their
money
,
and
poore
beggers
starue
and
die
,
with
lacke
of
meate
and
drinke
,
and
money
.
Why
let
mée
tell
thée
,
if
thou
doost
continue
at
thy
learning
,
it
will
paint
thy
studie
,
and
fornish
thee
with
bookes
,
it
will
clothe
thy
back
and
féede
thy
belly
,
it
will
guilde
thy
spéech
,
and
giue
fame
to
thy
wit
,
make
roome
for
thy
presence
,
and
kéepe
a
cushion
in
thy
seate
:
thou
shalt
sit
vppermost
at
the
Table
,
feede
on
the
best
dish
,
and
not
be
contradicted
in
thy
spéech
,
but
welcome
with
a
world
of
kindnesse
,
where
wanting
that
Earths
chiefe
ornament
,
thou
shalt
haue
a
sachell
full
of
holes
,
a
studie
without
glasse-windowes
,
bookes
without
couers
,
and
a
thred-bare
Ierken
without
a
cloake
,
thy
belly
pincht
with
lacke
of
victualls
,
thy
head
ake
with
fruitlesse
studie
,
and
thy
hart
sick
with
griefe
of
minde
,
thy
welcome
cold
in
most
companies
,
thy
place
belowe
thy
inferiours
in
worth
,
shouldered
of
euery
Iack
,
and
sometime
stand
with
out
a
stoole
:
and
therefore
,
if
thou
be
a
Diuine
,
get
a
Benefice
,
if
a
Phisition
,
get
a
sute
,
if
a
Geometritian
,
gette
an
office
of
surueying
,
if
whatsoeuer
,
get
mony
,
and
then
serue
God
,
and
followe
what
study
thou
wilt
.
So
the
time
calling
to
bed
,
the
old
woman
loth
to
wast
fire
and
candle
,
bad
shut
vp
doores
&
away
:
when
the
good
man
with
a
browne
loafe
gape
,
and
a
hey
ho
at
the
end
of
it
,
betaking
me
to
my
chamber
,
got
himselfe
to
his
Goose-rest
.
Where
leauing
him
to
short
with
his
sow
,
I
heard
no
more
of
his
good
mastership
,
but
in
the
morning
,
hauing
hast
of
my
way
,
taking
order
for
my
charges
,
gaue
a
farewell
to
the
flying
Ostrich
,
which
was
the
Armes
of
his
Inkéeping
,
faire
painted
vppon
the
signe-post
.
Now
trulie
Sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
I
thanke
you
for
your
merry
tale
,
I
thinke
hee
was
some
kinsman
,
or
of
his
race
,
that
you
told
me
you
had
red
of
,
who
at
his
death
left
his
sonne
such
a
lesson
to
looke
to
his
money
.
I
thinke
Sir
quoth
the
Scholler
,
they
were
birds
of
one
feather
,
though
they
liued
not
at
one
time
:
but
it
is
strange
to
sée
somtime
,
what
sharpnes
of
wit
a
man
shall
méete
with
in
such
a
bald
noddle
.
You
say
true
Sir
quoth
the
Angler
,
but
it
is
pittie
that
euer
good
Wine
should
come
into
a
fustie
vessell
:
but
might
I
intreate
you
for
one
discourse
more
,
of
some
accident
that
you
met
with
in
your
trauaile
,
and
so
with
the
setting
of
the
sunne
I
will
take
vp
mine
angle
,
and
intreate
your
company
to
my
poore
house
,
where
hauing
béen
a
scholler
&
a
trauailer
,
I
hope
you
will
take
your
welcome
with
a
few
dishes
.
Sir
quoth
the
scholler
,
for
one
discourse
more
I
will
not
denie
you
,
but
for
my
trouble
at
your
house
,
I
must
intreate
your
pardon
for
this
night
,
to
morrow
it
may
be
,
I
will
waite
on
you
as
I
come
by
you
:
for
this
night
I
am
inuited
at
the
Kéepers
of
the
great
Parks
,
where
hauing
past
my
word
,
I
would
keepe
my
promise
.
Sir
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
vse
your
discretion
,
now
to
morrow
,
or
at
an
other
time
,
your
welcome
is
set
downe
,
and
your
company
desired
,
and
therefore
I
beseech
you
,
while
I
shall
enioy
the
benefite
of
your
good
companie
,
let
me
be
beholding
to
you
for
your
discourse
.
Then
Sir
,
you
shall
vnderstand
quoth
the
Scholler
,
that
in
the
time
of
my
trauaile
,
comming
(
by
occasions
)
as
well
into
the
Pallaces
of
Princes
,
as
the
cottages
of
poore
people
,
it
was
my
hap
,
yea
I
may
well
say
,
that
vnder
heauen
it
was
my
greatest
happines
that
of
this
worlde
I
euer
founde
,
to
light
into
the
courtlike
house
of
a
right
worthy
honourable
Lady
,
the
desert
of
whose
commendations
,
far
exceeding
the
stile
of
my
study
,
I
must
leaue
to
better
wits
to
dilate
of
,
while
I
poorelie
speake
of
the
little
world
of
my
wonder
.
For
in
her
eye
was
the
seate
of
pittie
,
in
her
hart
the
honour
of
vertue
,
and
in
her
hand
the
bounty
of
discretion
:
to
see
her
countenance
the
comfortlesse
,
argued
a
diuine
spirit
,
to
heare
her
speak
,
which
was
neuer
idle
,
prooued
an
oracle
of
wit
,
to
beholde
her
presence
,
might
speake
of
a
miracle
in
nature
:
to
bee
short
,
except
Plato
,
I
knew
no
such
philosopher
:
except
the
excepted
,
I
meane
the
Lady
of
Ladies
in
this
world
,
the
honour
of
women
,
and
wonder
of
men
,
the
teacher
of
witt
,
and
the
amazer
of
the
wise
,
the
terrifier
of
the
proude
,
and
the
comforter
of
the
oppressed
,
the
beautie
of
Nature
,
the
wonder
of
Reason
,
and
the
ioy
of
honour
:
the
hand-maid
of
God
,
the
heauenly
creature
of
the
Earth
,
and
the
most
worthie
Queene
in
the
world
,
the
princely
Goddesse
,
or
diuine
Princesse
,
the
gracious
soueraigne
of
the
blessed
Iland
of
England
:
except
I
say
this
sun
of
the
earths
skie
,
I
knowe
not
a
starre
of
that
state
that
can
compare
light
with
thys
Lady
:
while
her
thoughts
keepe
the
square
of
such
discretion
,
that
no
idle
humour
dare
enter
the
list
of
her
conceit
.
What
praise
can
be
giuen
to
that
spirit
,
that
hath
so
ordered
the
carefull
course
of
her
sences
?
she
doth
all
things
as
shee
did
them
not
,
and
vseth
the
world
as
shee
esteemed
it
not
,
Honour
is
her
seruaunt
,
Uertue
is
her
loue
,
Truth
is
her
studie
,
and
Meditation
is
her
exercise
:
yet
is
shée
affable
,
with
such
curtesie
,
as
winnes
honor
in
humilitie
:
to
make
an
abridgement
of
her
prayses
,
in
a
few
words
of
her
woorthines
,
let
this
suffice
,
that
Nature
and
Wit
,
Uertue
and
Honour
,
Pitty
and
Bounty
,
Care
and
Kindnesse
,
haue
so
wrought
together
in
the
perfecting
of
a
peerelesse
creature
,
that
I
may
bite
my
tongue
,
and
burne
my
penne
,
lay
vp
my
little
wits
,
and
wish
for
a
more
diuine
spirit
,
to
enter
into
the
conceit
of
her
desert
,
ere
I
further
shew
my
weaknesse
,
to
speake
of
the
wonder
of
her
commendation
.
But
among
many
good
parts
,
whereof
her
praise
is
top
ful
,
I
wil
tell
you
one
action
,
and
not
the
least
,
that
fell
out
in
my
time
of
attendance
on
her
fauour
:
Her
house
beeing
in
a
maner
a
kind
of
little
Court
,
her
Lorde
in
place
of
no
meane
commaund
,
her
person
no
lesse
then
worthily
and
honourablie
attended
,
as
well
with
Gentlewomen
of
excellent
spirits
,
as
diuers
Gentlemen
of
fine
cariage
,
besides
all
other
seruants
,
each
of
such
respect
in
his
place
,
as
well
might
giue
praise
to
the
Gouernours
,
where
honor
setteth
rules
of
such
discretion
.
It
might
perhaps
seeme
teadious
,
to
set
downe
the
truth
of
such
perticulers
as
deserued
a
generall
commendation
,
where
first
,
God
daily
serued
,
religion
trulie
preached
,
all
quarrels
auoyded
,
peace
carefully
preserued
,
swearing
not
heard
of
,
where
truth
was
easilie
beléeued
,
a
table
fully
furnished
,
a
house
richly
garnished
,
honor
kindly
entertained
,
vertue
highly
estéemed
,
seruice
well
rewarded
,
and
the
poore
blessedly
relieued
,
might
make
much
for
the
truth
of
my
discourse
,
while
Enuie
can
but
fret
at
her
confession
:
but
least
in
blowing
at
a
coale
I
doo
but
put
out
the
fire
,
and
obscure
her
praise
,
that
may
bee
pend
by
a
better
spirit
,
let
this
suffice
for
the
sum
of
my
speech
,
that
where
the
eye
of
honour
,
did
set
the
rule
of
gouernment
,
kindnesse
was
a
companion
in
euery
corner
of
the
house
:
now
,
to
this
little
Earths
kind
of
Paradise
,
among
many
sundry
kinde
of
people
,
came
by
chaunce
a
poore
Gentleman
in
the
ruine
of
his
fortune
,
by
the
deuise
of
a
close
conueyance
of
an
imagined
friend
brought
in
,
hauing
more
wit
then
discretion
,
in
the
nature
of
a
good
foole
,
to
giue
this
Lady
cause
of
laughter
:
who
no
sooner
sounded
the
substance
of
his
wit
,
but
with
the
deepe
eye
of
her
rare
iudgement
,
percing
into
the
humble
vertue
of
his
spirit
,
pittying
his
fortune
,
and
perceiuing
his
want
,
made
vse
of
his
seruice
in
a
better
sence
,
and
in
the
diuine
nature
of
her
blessed
spirit
,
determined
the
mean
of
his
aduauncement
.
With
her
countenaunce
she
graced
him
,
with
good
words
she
fauoured
him
,
with
her
bountie
,
shee
relieued
him
,
and
would
suffer
no
man
to
hurt
him
:
for
séeing
honestie
want
maintenaunce
,
and
vertue
oppressed
with
malice
,
she
did
not
like
a
helping
hand
to
fill
vp
a
halfe
penny
purse
with
a
poore
reckoning
,
but
like
herselfe
in
the
absolute
power
of
her
honourable
spirit
,
shée
comforted
the
afflicted
minde
,
reuiued
the
hart
halfe
dead
,
and
as
it
were
drawne
out
of
the
ditch
of
misery
,
sette
the
spirite
in
the
warme
sunne
of
Gods
blessing
.
Thus
did
this
Princesse
entertaine
thys
poore
Gentleman
,
till
by
the
faction
of
the
malicious
,
the
delightfull
working
of
the
enuious
,
&
the
desart
of
his
owne
vnworthinesse
,
finding
in
the
deceiuing
of
this
his
bright
sun
,
the
sinking
of
his
too
happy
fauour
,
supping
vp
his
sorrowe
to
himselfe
,
taking
leaue
for
a
time
,
to
trauaile
about
a
little
idle
busines
,
in
a
cold
snowy
day
passing
ouer
an
vnknowne
plaine
,
not
looking
well
to
his
way
,
or
beeing
ordained
to
the
misery
of
such
mis-fortune
,
fell
so
déepe
downe
into
a
Saw-pitte
,
that
hee
shall
repent
the
fall
while
hee
liues
:
for
neuer
since
daring
to
presume
,
but
in
prayers
to
thinke
on
his
faire
Princesse
,
and
liuing
in
poore
Cottages
,
to
looke
towards
that
Court-like
pallace
,
he
hath
gone
vp
&
downe
like
a
shadowe
without
substance
,
a
purse
without
money
,
and
a
body
without
a
spirit
.
For
euer
since
,
as
he
hath
often
told
me
,
if
he
haue
come
among
men
,
it
hath
beene
like
a
Faire
of
rude
people
,
compared
to
the
sweet
company
of
that
house
,
if
in
the
company
of
women
,
like
a
meeting
of
Gossips
,
in
respect
of
the
gracious
spirits
of
the
sweete
creatures
of
that
little
paradice
:
and
if
by
chaunce
in
his
weary
passage
,
hee
hath
had
any
priuate
conference
,
with
some
espetiall
bird
of
the
Countrey
,
yet
for
all
the
best
notes
that
euer
he
heard
,
they
were
all
Sparrowes
to
his
Nightingale
.
For
according
to
the
dispositions
of
their
minds
,
hee
might
see
the
weakenes
of
their
spirits
:
as
some
would
talke
of
nothing
,
but
the
new
fashion
,
pinning
of
ruffes
,
starching
rebaters
,
the
Outlandish
tire
,
and
the
long
bodies
:
the
fine
stuffe
,
and
the
prettie
pinke
,
the
Lawne
shadow
,
and
the
cutworke
Lace
:
other
of
the
pyed
Cow
,
the
bay
Horse
,
the
black
Sheepe
,
and
the
branded
Pig
:
another
?
her
Malt
in
the
Kill
,
her
Oates
in
the
scuttle
,
and
her
Rye
in
the
sheafe
,
her
Cheese
in
the
presse
,
and
her
Butter
in
the
cherme
.
Now
with
this
galimawfrey
of
such
good
matter
,
as
filled
his
eares
with
more
sound
then
good
sence
,
must
he
satis-fie
his
sorrowfull
hart
,
that
,
when
it
got
him
alone
by
him selfe
,
with
calling
to
minde
the
excellent
matter
,
that
in
variety
of
methode
he
had
often
heard
from
the
mouth
of
his
Minerua
,
would
so
fall
into
a
sighing
,
that
had
not
the
heauens
the
better
blest
it
,
it
would
surely
haue
burst
asunder
.
For
,
say
quoth
he
,
that
though
some
few
I
found
of
extraordinary
good
spirits
,
yet
among
a
number
of
these
Countrey
daunces
,
I
did
light
on
such
a
Galiard
,
as
had
a
trick
aboue
Trenchmour
,
and
could
speake
more
to
the
purpose
,
then
many
of
the
wiues
of
the
Parish
,
who
hauing
red
many
English
books
,
could
tell
pretty
tales
of
idle
people
,
yet
compare
this
Christall
with
my
Diamond
,
she
would
quickly
shew
her
dunnes
:
and
among
all
other
things
,
if
by
the
reuenue
of
a
pretty
Dairy
,
she
could
priuily
put
vp
three
pence
to
spend
at
a
blind
bridaile
,
if
perhaps
in
a
good
humour
,
she
had
a
minde
to
pleasure
a
poore
friend
,
it
would
come
so
dropping
out
of
her
fingers
,
as
though
it
hoong
at
her
hart
blood
:
and
then
perhaps
with
such
a
lesson
to
it
,
to
take
heede
of
vnthriftines
,
with
a
shrug
of
the
shoulders
at
the
hardnes
of
the
world
,
that
it
would
breake
the
hart
of
a
good
minde
,
to
thinke
on
the
misery
of
such
Almes
.
To
goe
from
Hiues
that
giue
the
golden
honey
,
To
shilling
Spirits
,
that
will
tell
their
money
.
And
then
calling
to
mind
the
golden
showres
of
his
Ladies
fauours
,
bled
inwardly
in
the
hart
,
with
such
drops
of
vnseene
teares
,
as
makes
him
like
Adam
out
of
Paradice
,
hope
of
no
happines
,
till
hee
come
at
heauen
:
Or
like
the
Phenix
,
liue
in
ashes
,
till
he
may
get
life
by
the
vertue
of
his
bright
Sunne
againe
:
and
now
this
is
only
his
worldly
comfort
,
that
she
liueth
,
whom
his
hart
honoureth
,
and
his
soule
prayeth
for
,
though
his
vnworthy
eye
,
be
abandoned
the
blessing
of
his
sences
admiration
:
Who
though
he
liue
in
the
dungeon
of
sorrowes
darknes
,
will
neuer
cease
prayer
to
the
heauens
for
his
bright
Sunnes
eternall
blessednes
:
and
that
as
her
name
doth
liue
onely
in
the
high
Meridianis
,
so
her
soule
may
be
blessed
in
the
highest
Caelis
.
Alas
poore
wretch
,
quoth
the
Angler
,
why
doe
your
eyes
water
your
chéekes
,
at
the
shutting
vp
of
this
discourse
?
If
it
be
your selfe
,
be
not
dismaide
,
Princes
haue
gracious
spirits
,
and
great
powers
,
who
at
the
time
of
their
pleasure
will
comfort
patience
in
misery
:
and
after
the
woe
of
a
long
Winter
,
giue
the
fruite
of
a
little
Spring
,
howsoeuer
hope
hit
on
a
good
Sommer
:
and
therefore
continue
thy
constancie
,
in
thy
prayer
to
remember
the
happines
of
thy
harts
honour
,
and
feare
not
,
but
vertue
will
one
day
haue
a
glaunce
of
fauour
:
and
therefore
if
I
may
aduise
thee
,
let
not
mal-content
bréede
a
madnes
,
to
driue
thee
from
thy selfe
to
a
worse
companion
.
Serue
God
,
and
care
not
for
the
world
:
for
I
am
perswaded
,
that
shee
that
is
made
of
so
many
exceedings
,
cannot
but
at
her
good
time
make
thée
happy
in
her
comfort
,
who
though
a
while
shee
shut
vp
the
hand
of
her
bounty
:
yet
will
send
thée
a
little
of
that
Quintescence
,
that
will
saue
thée
from
a
deadly
swound
,
howsoeuer
sorrow
possesse
thée
.
And
therefore
be
her
bead-man
in
thy
prayers
,
till
she
make
imployment
of
thy
further
seruice
.
And
now
since
I
see
the
Sunne
growes
so
low
,
as
will
scarse
giue
vs
light
to
our
lodging
:
let
me
at
this
parting
challenge
your
promise
,
that
to
morrow
you
will
visite
my
poore
cabine
:
which
with
all
kindnes
that
I
can
deuise
,
shall
be
alwayes
with
my selfe
at
your
commaund
.
Thus
with
harty
thanks
each
to
other
,
with
a
few
good
words
of
either
side
,
taking
a
kinde
leaue
,
the
Angler
takes
vp
his
hooke
,
&
away
they
part
from
the
Riuer
side
.
From
whence
when
they
were
gone
in
a
manner
out
of
sight
,
a
certaine
odde
Diogenes
of
the
world
,
like
a
forlorne
creature
on
the
earth
,
throwne
lately
out
of
the
fortune
of
his
Mistres
fauour
,
getting
a
Paper-booke
vnder
his
arme
,
and
a
penne
and
Inke
vnder
his
girdle
,
in
a
melancholike
humour
,
meaning
to
trouble
the
Muses
,
with
some
dolefull
Ballad
,
to
the
tune
of
all
a
greene
willow
,
sitting
downe
on
a
little
mole-hill
,
among
a
thick
growne
plot
of
Ozters
vnseene
,
in
steede
of
his
intended
peece
of
Poetry
,
writ
as
fast
as
he
could
this
discourse
that
hee
heard
betwixt
this
Angler
,
and
the
Scholler
.
