Merry
Wonders
.
GRéene
rushes
M.
Francisco
,
it
is
a
wonder
to
sée
you
héere
in
this
Country
:
why
,
I
was
afraide
that
you
had
been
so
out
of
charity
with
your
enemyes
,
that
you
had
beenalmost
out
of
loue
with
your
frends
:
but
I
am
glad
,
that
hauing
wished
for
you
so
long
,
I
shall
yet
enioy
you
at
last
.
Fran.
Master
Lorillo
,
I
doe
wonder
at
your
wondring
,
for
though
I
am
contented
to
be
helde
a
man
,
yet
I
would
be
loath
to
be
worse
natured
then
a
dogge
:
for
I
am
in
charity
with
al
the
world
,
though
I
am
not
in
loue
with
mine
owne
shadowe
:
but
to
your
purpose
,
can
you
eyther
fell
what
loue
or
a
friends
is
?
Lor.
Indeed
they
are
two
Wonders
in
this
world
,
for
men
are
so
full
of
malice
,
and
women
haue
so
little
faith
,
that
a
friend
is
like
a
Phoenix
,
and
a
faithfull
woman
like
a
blacke
Swanne
.
Fran.
Now
fie
man
,
you
are
too
much
to
blame
,
to
make
a
wonder
of
nothing
,
for
friendship
is
the
grace
of
Reason
,
and
loue
is
the
ioy
of
life
:
and
therefore
rather
wonder
at
reasons
disgrace
,
in
the
breath
of
friendship
,
and
at
the
nature
of
life
without
loue
,
then
to
see
a
true
friend
or
a
faithfull
louer
.
Lor.
But
,
is
it
not
then
a
wonder
to
thinke
what
should
be
,
and
s●e
what
is
,
for
loue
is
become
a
riddle
,
and
friendship
a
dreame
,
where
hee
may
wonder
at
his
fortune
,
who
findes
that
he
lookes
for
.
Fran.
Well
,
I
perceiue
it
were
a
wonder
to
remooue
you
from
your
wondring
at
these
wonders
:
but
is
there
nothing
to
be
wondred
at
,
but
loue
and
friendship
?
Lor.
Nay
,
would
you
not
rather
say
,
that
I
wonder
to
heare
of
so
much
,
and
finde
so
little
▪
But
leauing
to
trouble
our selues
longer
with
these
toyes
,
which
are
become
such
wonders
,
as
are
too
s●ldome
to
be
seene
:
let
me
intreate
you
a
little
to
discourse
of
such
wonders
as
you
haue
met
withall
,
in
your
last
trauaile
abroad
:
and
what
I
haue
seene
at
home
(
that
may
be
wor●h
the
hearing
)
I
will
tell
you
.
Fran.
Content
is
pleased
and
therefore
not
to
burne
day-light
,
you
shal
heare
:
at
my
first
arriuall
in
a
certaine
count●y
(
which
for
some
causes
,
I
will
omit
to
name
)
it
was
my
hap
to
come
into
a
very
faire
towne
▪
or
rather
Citty
,
where
I
saw
the
houses
strong
and
beautifull
,
the
shops
richly
furnished
,
handsome
men
,
and
faire
women
,
well
apparelled
and
well
countenaunced
,
so
that
there
was
almost
nothing
wanting
that
might
seeme
to
make
a
happy
state
:
but
●t
is
wonderfull
to
thinke
,
what
a
world
of
vnhappines
liued
within
the
walles
of
this
Citty
:
for
wealth
,
which
should
haue
made
men
bountifull
and
charitable
,
made
them
so
proude
and
miserable
,
that
the
poore
wretches
were
merrier
with
a
crust
,
then
the
rich
with
a
world
of
treasure
:
the
faire
,
which
promised
much
grace
,
were
so
enuious
,
so
proude
,
and
so
vitious
,
that
I
wonder
how
so
great
a
beauty
to
the
body
,
should
breed
so
foule
a
blot
to
the
soule
?
Lor.
Alas
,
nature
is
subien
to
weaknesse
,
and
therefore
beare
with
a
little
i●●e●●ertion
:
age
will
tea●h
repentance
,
and
sorrow
is
a
sa●ue
for
sinne
:
and
therefore
pray
rather
for
the
correction
of
reason
,
then
wonder
at
the
corruption
of
nature
:
but
o●wa●●s
with
the
rest
of
your
wonders
.
Fran.
Oh
Sir
,
excuse
is
no
satisfaction
,
though
contrition
be
gratious
,
the
sinne
of
you●h
makes
the
shame
of
age
,
and
he
that
is
bountifull
at
his
death
,
is
better
in
the
graue
then
in
the
world
:
but
I
will
leaue
to
argue
further
vpon
the
case
,
&
goe
onward
with
my
course
.
When
I
had
wondred
a
whi●e
at
particular
points
,
in
particular
persons
,
I
began
to
wonder
at
the
state
of
the
gouernment
:
for
so
farre
as
I
could
●euill
at
it
with
the
eye
of
my
s●mple
iudgement
,
the
●hiefest
matters
were
wonderfully
well
●uled
,
lawes
were
executed
according
to
the
estate
of
the
offenders
:
If
he
were
poore
,
hee
was
made
an
example
:
if
rich
,
hee
was
made
a
profit
,
a
profit
to
the
common
wealth
,
to
take
away
the
riches
of
one
that
might
haue
been
hurt
to
many
:
and
the
poore
,
an
example
to
the
poore
,
to
take
warning
rather
to
worke
then
to
want
,
for
feare
by
such
offen●e
to
r●ceiue
the
like
punishment
of
like
presumption
:
But
w●en
I
considered
of
the
conscience
that
was
charged
with
the
burthen
of
bloud
,
I
wondred
how
the
hang
man
could
sleep
for
feare
of
the
deuill
at
his
elbow
:
An●
againe
,
I
wonder
not
a
little
at
the
folly
of
the
wilful
,
to
bring
their
wittes
to
such
confusion
,
that
neither
reason
nor
obseruation
could
take
more
place
in
their
apprehention
?
Lor.
Oh
Master
Fraunces
the
misery
of
this
time
is
great
,
and
lawes
had
need
of
exe●uti●n
,
for
else
the
begger
with
his
●ré●ping
,
and
the
●hu●le
with
his
bribing
,
w●uld
so
cousen
pitty
with
cunning
,
that
Iustice
should
become
a
Iest
,
and
common
wealths
would
be
ouerthrowne
▪
and
since
penury
to
the
rich
,
is
as
great
a
plague
,
as
death
is
to
the
poore
,
let
the
churle
whine
and
the
begger
hang
,
or
both
learne
to
be
honest
men
:
but
to
the
purpose
,
if
you
haue
not
borne
Office
your selfe
,
speake
not
of
a
Magistrate
,
least
your
wonder
prooue
a
triflle
,
when
the
secret
is
well
considered
.
Fran.
True
,
but
who
would
not
wonder
to
sée
wise
men
so
foolish
,
the
wealthy
so
mad
,
and
the
poore
so
desperate
,
that
the
false
God
of
gold
should
so
bewitch
the
hart
of
man
,
as
to
make
the
sentence
of
law
to
cut
off
the
lyne
of
life
?
But
to
confesse
a
troth
,
I
thinke
God
hath
his
working
in
all
things
,
and
therefore
it
is
but
a
folly
to
wonder
at
any
thing
:
and
therefore
leaue
all
thinges
to
his
will
,
who
doth
all
things
to
his
glory
,
and
to
goe
on
with
my
wonders
,
I
will
tell
you
:
It
was
my
happe
to
trauaile
into
a
country
towne
,
or
pretty
village
,
where
I
lodged
in
an
Inne
,
at
the
signe
of
the
wilde
goose
:
where
,
walking
in
the
backe
side
,
I
saw
a
dozen
of
pretty
fine
chickins
,
when
looking
well
vpon
them
,
an
vnhappy
boy
(
meaning
to
play
the
knaue
kindely
with
me
)
tolde
mée
,
that
in
the
morning
all
those
chickins
would
be
Lambes
:
Goe
to
boy
quoth
I
,
doe
not
lye
I
pray
thée
:
In
truth
Sir
(
quoth
he
)
it
is
true
:
at
the
first
(
a
little
concealing
my
displeasure
conceiued
against
the
boy
)
I
wondred
at
his
spéech
,
but
in
the
morning
I
found
it
true
:
and
was
not
this
a
wonder
?
Lor.
No
mary
Sir
,
it
is
no
wonder
that
the
goodman
of
the
house
being
called
Lambe
,
but
the
chickins
should
be
all
Lambes
:
but
since
you
are
entr●d
into
merry
wonders
to
beguile
you●
friends
with
a
iest
,
let
mee
se●l
you
a
littl●
of
some
of
my
home
wonders
.
Fran.
With
all
my
heart
:
the
more
the
better
,
●ne
for
an
other
.
Lor.
In
the
towne
where
I
dwell
,
we
haue
a
pretty
Corporation
,
where
among
many
poore
Officers
,
M.
Constable
is
no
meane
man
,
especially
vpon
a
Festiual
day
,
when
he
hath
his
Tipstaff
in
his
hand
,
&
the
Stockes
at
his
doore
:
Now
,
it
fell
out
one
day
that
the
chiefe
of
the
Parish
hauing
a
meeting
at
the
Church
,
this
honest
man
(
at
least
,
so
reputed
of
the
simple
sort
)
putting
on
his
best
countenance
,
and
taking
his
place
amongst
the
best
of
his
neighbours
:
it
fell
out
,
that
in
hearing
of
a
controuers●e
betweene
two
sorrye
fellowes
,
about
the
pounding
of
a
white
Mare
,
whither
by
law
it
might
be
done
or
not
,
one
giuing
his
opinion
vpon
the
one
side
,
and
the
other
vpon
the
other
:
at
last
the
Constable
giuing
a
sore
spéech
against
the
poore
men
▪
that
the
one
for
his
cruelty
,
in
that
he
had
almost
starued
the
Mare
in
the
pound
,
and
the
other
for
his
folly
,
to
let
her
stray
into
his
neighbors
ground
,
should
be
set
in
the
stockes
,
and
the●e
to
stay
till
they
were
made
friendes
,
without
farther
trying
of
the
law
:
had
no
sooner
ended
his
spéech
,
but
from
a
man
became
a
Hog
:
and
was
not
this
a
wonder
?
Fran.
A
great
one
,
but
that
Lawrence
Hogge
,
if
it
b●
he
that
I
take
it
you
speake
of
,
who
was
the
last
yéere
Constable
of
your
Hundreth
,
was
euer
a
good
ryder
,
and
therefore
had
euer
more
pitty
on
one
good
paced
Mare
,
then
two
roaned
curtalles
:
but
if
your
Trenchmore
bee
done
,
let
mee
heare
if
you
haue
such
another
daunce
?
Lor.
Nay
by
your
leaue
sir
,
I
will
first
heare
you
as
good
as
your
word
,
one
for
an
other
till
the
Sunne
goe
downe
,
and
then
put
vp
.
Fran.
Content
,
wel
remembred
,
then
let
me
tell
you
:
in
a
certain
Port
towne
,
where
it
was
my
hap
to
lodge
for
some
fewe
dayes
,
it
was
my
chaunce
diuers
times
to
méete
with
a
strange
creature
,
in
the
shap●
of
a
man
,
of
whome
one
day
standing
at
a
doore
all
alone
,
I
tooke
good
notice
:
of
stature
,
hee
was
neyther
aboue
the
Moone
,
nor
beneath
the
Earth
,
but
in
the
middle
region
of
the
proportion
of
man
,
mary
for
his
face
it
was
made
like
one
of
the
foure
windes
in
a
Mappe
,
that
should
blowe
ouer
the
stoutest
May-pole
in
a
Country
:
a
payre
of
staring
eyes
,
that
would
looke
three
myle
beyond
Mount
Noddy
,
and
a
mouth
hell
wide
,
that
would
sweare
like
a
deuill
:
but
for
that
he
would
not
be
troubled
with
too
much
hayre
,
hee
had
forsworne
a
beard
:
of
complection
,
like
rusty
Bacon
,
and
nosed
like
the
s●oute
of
an
olde
Beare
:
necked
like
a
Bull
,
shouldred
like
a
Miller
,
and
legged
like
the
Mill-poast
:
and
for
an
arme
,
had
it
not
beene
iniur●d
with
a
rewine
(
that
he
tooke
with
a
hot
seruice
in
a
moorish
Country
)
hee
had
beene
able
with
a
little
helpe
,
to
haue
throwne
a
lowse
ouer
his
shoulder
:
apparelled
he
was
like
a
decayed
Souldier
,
and
yet
kept
a
march
in
the
streete
,
as
though
hee
had
ledde
more
then
ment
to
follow
him
:
Now
this
lus●y
gallant
,
that
gaue
the
wall
to
no
man
,
but
vpon
condition
of
a
quarrell
,
nor
put
off
his
cap
to
any
man
,
but
of
whome
hee
ment
to
borrow
money
:
hauing
passed
a
fewe
dayes
in
such
a
pride
,
as
fewe
of
good
fashion
could
away
withall
,
wanting
meanes
to
supply
his
wantes
,
fell
in
hand
(
after
many
shiftes
)
to
try
the
trade
of
the
high
way
:
where
hauing
made
so
many
happy
purchases
,
as
would
haue
paide
for
●
good
Coppy-holde
,
would
not
giue
ouer
his
●h●se
till
hee
was
taken
napping
in
his
hunting
:
it
fell
out
,
that
being
ouer
taken
in
his
match
,
or
ouer-matched
in
his
taking
,
hee
was
taken
holde
of
by
the
Officer
and
brought
before
a
Iustice
for
a
Fellon
,
from
whome
to
the
prison
,
and
so
by
degrees
to
the
gallowes
:
now
,
where
before
that
time
he●
was
helde
for
a
gallant
fellow
,
and
a
proper
man
,
hee
no
sooner
came
to
execution
,
but
hee
became
presently
a
Wolfe
:
and
was
not
this
a
great
wonder
?
Lor.
True
,
if
it
had
not
béene
Haukin
Wolfe
,
th●
swaggering
rascall
of
hempe
Alley
,
but
I
wonder
hee
liued
so
long
vnhanged
,
who
had
deserued
it
so
often
:
but
t
is
no
matter
,
let
him
goe
,
I
am
sure
you
are
lyke
to
heare
as
good
a
Morris
daunce
from
my
Pype
,
and
therefore
haue
at
you
:
In
the
Citty
where
I
vse
to
make
my
housholde
prouision
for
the
yeare
,
it
was
my
happe
in
the
Inne
where
I
lay
,
to
bee
lodged
next
wall
to
a
minikin
girle
,
broder
betwixt
the
eyes
then
the
héeles
:
This
dainty
come-to-it
,
thinking
her
brasse
good
siluer
,
in
an
humour
(
twenty
yeeres
short
of
her
age
)
would
forsooth
(
to
continue
or
encrease
her
beautye
)
vse
all
the
arte
,
that
eyther
the
Phisition
or
the
Paynter
could
helpe
her
for
her
auayle
:
and
to
note
the
variety
of
the
countenaunces
,
shee
would
in
a
glasse
,
teach
her
ill
fauoured
face
to
put
on
(
it
was
a
wonder
to
thinke
vpon
)
one
while
she
would
looke
as
demurely
,
as
a
Rabbet
that
had
newly
washed
her
face
in
a
deawy
morning
:
by
and
by
shee
would
drawe
the
great
lippes
of
a
wyde
mouth
so
neere
together
,
that
it
was
very
much
like
the
necke
of
an
Oxes
bladder
,
and
yet
with
that
face
would
shee
so
simper
it
,
as
though
shee
would
put
the
Millers
Mare
quite
out
of
countenance
:
by
and
by
,
she
wold
leere
a
side
like
a
Beare
whelp
,
and
with
a
trice
she
would
frowne
,
as
though
she
were
sicke
of
the
frets
:
turne
her
head
,
and
she
would
laugh
,
as
if
she
had
béen
tickled
in
the
lower
ribbes
:
but
after
many
of
these
faces
,
she
would
at
last
stand
a tip-toe
,
and
vaunt
it
like
the
Quéene
of
Spades
:
but
if
she
tried
to
mak
a
curtsie
,
why

in
a
Maurice
daunce
,
would
put
her
downe
for
a
fiddle faddle
:
This
Mistris
Needens
(
as
I
said
before
)
nothing
faire
,
but
faced
very
ill
fauouredly
,
wickedly
witty
,
but
nothing
wise
,
s●w
at
her
window
a
Gentlewoman
sitting
at
her
doore
,
with
a
white
Sparrow
pearching
on
her
finger
,
which
birde
skipped
from
thence
vpon
the
ruffe
of
a
fine
yong
Gentleman
that
sate
by
her
,
and
there
tooke
bread
out
of
his
mouth
:
Now
what
humour
this
wicked
creature
had
,
héerupon
to
be
transformed
,
I
know
not
,
but
wishing
that
she
might
be
in
this
Sparrows
place
,
shee
no
sooner
came
out
of
her
house
,
but
she
became
a
Sparrow
indéed
:
and
was
not
this
a
wonder
?
Fran.
Yes
,
and
that
no
small
one
,
but
that
I
thinke
Meg
Sparrow
of
Kent-stréete
,
was
the
gentle
mistris
that
you
made
your
wonder
of
:
but
to
quit
you
with
the
like
strange
matter
,
you
shall
heare
:
in
a
certayne
thorough
faire
towne
,
where
it
was
my
hap
to
lodge
for
a
night
or
two
,
at
a
strange
signe
,
mine
Hoast
of
the
house
being
a
Bailiffe
of
the
hundreth
:
Lor.
Oh
then
he
was
like
to
be
an
honest
man
.
Fran
.
Yea
,
and
so
he
was
I
may
t●ll
you
,
for
he
played
the
honest
man
many
a
time
,
to
he●pe
many
an
honest
man
to
his
money
,
that
many
a
knaue
would
haue
run
away
with
,
if
he
had
not
béen
,
and
help●
many
a
wen●h
to
a
father
for
her
childe
,
that
could
not
else
haue
tolde
how
to
haue
done
for
the
kéeping
of
it
:
But
to
goe
on
with
my
tale
,
this
gallant
Sir
,
being
for
his
capacity
able
to
iudge
betwixt
blacke
and
white
,
horse
or
cowe
,
whosoeuer
were
the
owner
:
and
for
his
person
;
as
good
a
Picture
as
might
haue
serued
for
a
néed
,
to
haue
hanged
at
his
signe
poast
,
standing
commonly
in
his
doore
like
a
Bearard
,
that
was
acquainted
with
all
the
dogs
of
the
parish
,
standing
as
I
say
with
a
Sarazins
face
,
his
nose
too
long
for
his
lips
,
his
chéekes
like
the
iawes
of
a
horse
,
his
eyes
like
a
Smithes
forge
,
and
his
haire
all
besprinckled
with
a
whore
frost
,
this
S.
Christopher
shouldred
swad
,
that
fed
on
nothing
but
browes
,
and
●appy
Ale
,
hauing
more
cappes
of
poore
men
,
then
eyther
crownes
or
pence
to
relieue
them
,
fell
(
sauing
your
reuerence
)
in
loue
,
with
such
a
péece
of
horse-flesh
as
you
spake
of
,
&
notwithstanding
that
he
had
a
pretty
pincke
to
his
own
wedded
wife
,
that
could
answere
her
guests
at
all
weapons
,
and
at
all
houres
,
yet
he●
as
a
wicked
Ramme
that
would
follow
a
s●abbed
shéep
,
fell
in
hand
with
this
rotten
Ewe
;
whome
(
his
wife
being
at
the
market
)
he
got
into
his
garden
,
where
néere
vnder
my
window
I
might
sée
him
floute
her
in
such
sort
,
and
wiping
his
driueled
beard
,
clapt
her
on
the
lips
so
stoutely
,
as
if
the
deuill
and
his
damme
had
met
vpon
a
close
hellish
bargaine
:
Now
,
after
a
hobby
horse
turne
or
two
,
in
they
came
into
the
house
,
where
he
conuayed
his
welfauoured
mistris
into
a
place
of
priuate
conference
,
where
long
he
had
not
tarryed
,
but
in
commeth
my
Hostesse
,
who
knowing
by
her
Ouen
where
cakes
had
been
a
baking
,
méeting
her
gooseman
with
this
his
pretty
ducke
in
his
hand
,
began
with
a
note
aboue
Ela
to
sing
them
such
a
solfa
,
that
what
with
knaue
and
whore
,
and
a
great
deale
more
,
had
not
I
and
some
other
of
her
kind
guests
perswaded
her
to
patience
:
Iealousse
wold
haue
made
her
nailes
to
haue
bin
indited
of
bloodshed
,
but
as
it
fell
out
when
she
had
chid
her selfe
blacke
in
the
mouth
,
and
at
the
last
with
a
little
little
patience
sat
her
downe
,
with
,
out
of
my
house
whoore
,
&
by
cockes
stones
,
bones
I
would
haue
said
,
I
will
not
beare
it
:
after
shee
had
cryed
a
little
for
curst
heart
,
and
wipte
her
nose
of
a
little
rewme
,
with
these
woordes
shee
made
an
ende
:
oh
thou
olde
mangy
,
fiery
faced
,
bottle
nose
,
horse
lipped
,
Oxe
Iawed
rascall
,
thou
towne
Bull
,
and
common
Bore
,
that
seruest
for
all
the
S●ine
in
the
Parrish
,
a
poxe
take
thee
,
doost
thou
thinke
to
make
me
take
the
leauinges
of
thy
Trulles
?
thou
shalt
bee
hanged
first
,
goe
hang
thy selfe
,
get
thee
to
them
where
thou
wilt
,
for
thou
shalt
not
make
my
hous●
a
Stewes
,
nor
me
a
bawde
any
longer
I
warrant
thée
.
I
haue
heard
that
in
olde
time
men
haue
beene
turned
into
Beastes
,
I
would
thou
wert
so
too
:
and
truely
it
is
a
sore
matter
that
may
fall
out
vpon
an
euill
tongu●
,
especially
an
euill
womans
,
for
you
shall
see
what
fell
out
vppon
this
wicked
creatures
curse
:
the
man
amazed
at
her
madnesse
,
and
not
able
(
for
all
his
Office
)
to
take
order
with
her
tongue
,
glad
(
after
he
had
shipped
away
hi●
ware
)
to
bee
got
himselfe
out
of
her
sight
:
no
sooner
turned
his
backe
to
goe
out
of
doore
,
but
hee
became
presently
a
great
Bull
:
and
was
not
this
a
strange
wonder
?
Lor.
Not
a
whit
so
long
as
I
know
Thomas
Bull
of
the
Rammes
horne
at
the
nether
end
of
the
market
place
,
as
you
ride
through
Cuckoldes
Ende
,
a
myle
from
Twattoxbury
:
but
if
you
will
giue
mee
leaue
a
little
,
I
will
quit
you
with
as
good
a
tale
.
It
was
my
happe
in
an
odde
village
,
where
for
a
few
daies
,
I
ment
to
recreate
my self
with
my
go●d
friends
,
to
come
forsooth
to
a
Country
wedding
:
which
being
vpon
a
poore
Saints
day
,
for
eyther
it
was
a
poore
Saint
,
that
they
meant
so
poor●
an
honour
to
,
or
the
parish
was
very
poore
,
that
the
people
had
no
better
cloathes
to
put
on
:
for
sauing
that
it
was
whole
and
cleane
that
little
that
they
had
,
there
was
neyther
waste
of
stuffe
,
nor
finenesse
to
be
found
fault
withall
:
yet
as
it
was
,
let
me
tell
you
:
the
manner
was
worth
the
marking
:
For
first
and
formost
went
the
Bride
,
for
fleshe
and
bloud
as
fowle
a
creature
as
might
fit
the
Inuention
of
an
Inuectiue
against
Beauty
:
who
though
she
were
squinte
eyed
,
Swine
s●outed
,
wry
bodyed
,
and
splay
footed
,
yet
had
shee
such
a
garlicke
b●●ath
,
that
they
had
néede
enough
of
Rosemary
,
that
ledde
such
a
weede
by
the
wrist
:
but
let
her
passe
,
she
with
her
hayre
about
her
shoulders
,
drawne
out
like
a
horse
tayle
with
a
Mane-combe
,
in
a
home-spun
russet
Petticoate
,
that
should
serue
her
many
a
fayre
day
,
with
a
payre
of
strong
Calue-skinne
gloues
,
that
her
good
man
had
drest
for
the
purpose
,
holding
out
her
chinne
and
dra●ing
in
her
mouth
(
lyke
Malkins
olde
Mare
)
went
simpring
betwixt
two
olde
Constables
:
and
after
the
rowte
of
such
a
fight
of
Rascals
,
as
one
would
●ake
hell
for
such
a
rabblement
,
followes
the
Groome
my
young
Colt
of
a
Cart
bréed
,
led
betwixt
twoo
girles
for
the
purpose
,
the
one
as
like
an
Owle
,
the
other
as
like
an
Vrchin
,
as
if
they
had
béene
spitte
out
of
the
mouthes
of
them
:
Nowe
thys
sweete
youth
,
sauing
that
hee
had
the
shape
of
a
man
,
there
could
bee
little
sayd
in
his
commendation
:
for
as
he
was
headed
like
a
Gian●
,
so
was
h●
faced
like
an
olde
Ape
,
stumpe
footed
,
and
wry
legged
,
and
withall
,
his
lower
limbe●
of
such
sma●nesse
,
that
he
went
in
great
daunger
of
the
winde
:
mary
for
his
breath
,
his
Bride
and
hee
were
both
Rabbets
of
one
Laier
:
yet
being
in
this
disgrace
of
nature
,
these
well
matched
Hog
minions
,
it
was
a
sport
to
sée
the
weake
iudgement
of
their
poore
wits
,
who
were
content
to
perswade
themselues
,
there
was
matter
in
them
of
sufficiency
:
for
she
,
if
one
saluted
her
with
faire
Maide
,
shee
would
looke
downe
vpon
her
new
shooes
,
with
such
a
smile
as
would
mak
a
horse
laugh
to
see
hércountenance
:
and
if
hee
were
but
called
lusty
Lobkin
,
hee
would
fetch
you
such
a
friskall
,
that
a
dog
woul●
not
lye
downe
to
looke
vpon
him
:
Now
as
I
tell
you
,
to
a
blind
Chappell
in
stéede
of
a
Church
,
went
these
couple
to
their
merry
méeting
:
where
,
how
they
agréed
vpon
the
match
I
know
not
,
but
they
no
sooner
came
out
of
the
Church
hand
in
hand
,
but
of
a
handsome
youth
and
a
pretty
damsell
,
they
became
both
Buzzards
:
and
was
not
this
a
pittifull
wonder
?
Fran.
Not
at
all
,
for
Hodge
Buzzard
and
his
best
beloued
,
at
the
blew
Crowe
and
the
red
Owle
can
●el
you
the
meaning
of
this
riddle
:
but
now
to
quit
you
againe
haue
with
you
.
It
was
my
hap
in
a
market
towne
neere
vnto
the
crosse
,
to
méete
with
a
coarse
,
carried
vpon
mens
shoulders
in
a
coffiin
,
no
great
solemnity
there
was
to
be
noted
,
for
there
was
not
a
Herald
of
Armes
,
nor
any
mention
made
of
him
more
then
that
he
was
dead
;
and
was
carried
to
bee
buried
:
for
more
then
that
men
wore
blacke
in
good
Cloakes
for
him
,
I
saw
no
signe
of
sorrow
to
be
thought
on
:
yet
for
that
there
w●re
many
that
accompanied
the
coarse
,
I
demaunded
of
some
that
I
durst
be
bolde
with
,
what
hee
was
▪
h●s
name
,
his
state
,
his
condition
,
and
his
death
?
Now
o●
all
that
I
asked
,
or
of
all
that
I
spake
to
,
I
could
not
heere
so
much
as
a
good
word
spoken
of
him
,
his
name
was
Di●es
,
hee
was
a
rich
man
,
his
condition
wicked
and
malicious
,
his
quallity
ledge●●●●●aine
,
with
which
hee
would
coozen
a
whole
country
▪
his
state
mightie
by
his
purse
,
his
life
like
a
Hog
,
and
his
death
like
a
Dog
,
but
that
hee
scape●
hanging
,
which
hee
deserued
too
often
:
hee
was
beloued
of
fewe
,
and
hated
of
many
:
vndid
a
number
in
his
life
,
and
now
onely
bestowed
a
little
Charitably
at
his
death
:
many
did
curse
him
,
and
fewe
that
prayed
for
him
,
more
then
that
they
might
heere
no
more
of
him
,
and
all
that
I
could
heere
or
see
written
of
him
,
was
an
●pi●●ph
that
some
conceited
friend
did
bestowe
vpon
him
▪
the
wordes
whereof
we●e
these
:
Heere
lie●
one
that
was
borne
and
cried
:
hee
l●ued
threescore
year●s
,
and
then
fell
sicke
and
died
.
Now
séeing
no
more
matter
to
be
considered
,
but
down
right
Dog
,
with
his
head
in
the
po●
,
and
yet
such
a
deale
of
a
doo
in
carring
hm
to
church
,
I
thought
I
would
see
him
throwne
into
the
earth
,
but
when
the
carkasse
came
to
bee
laide
in
the
g●aue
,
hee
that
in
his
life
was
said
to
be
a
iolly
square
fellow
and
indifferent
handsome
man
,
became
a
most
vgly
Beare
,
and
was
not
this
a
wonder
?
Fran.
No
,
not
any
wonder
at
all
,
when
Barnabye
Beare
of
Bul
End
by
hogge
downe
was
the
most
rauening
Wolfe
,
and
deuouring
wretch
of
his
neig●bours
goods
that
liued
in
a
whole
countrie
:
but
if
hee
be
gon
,
no
doubt
hee
hath
left
heires
,
and
so
let
him
goe
:
and
now
let
me
tell
you
of
another
wonder
:
In
a
certaine
Cittie
where
it
was
my
chaunce
to
make
aboade
for
some
few
monthes
,
I
espied
one
day
among
a
company
of
Cittizens
,
a
little
remote
from
the
company
,
a
couple
that
for
serious
c●●se
of
conference
had
single●
them selues
together
,
where
walking
néer
vnto
a
bench
where
I
sat
,
I
might
heare
a
little
of
their
discourses
:
of
which
,
before
I
spe●ke
any
thing
,
let
me
a
little
describe
you
the
persons
:
First
,
the
young
man
,
being
about
the
age
of
some
two
and
twenty
,
a
handsome
man
of
reasonable
good
shape
,
smooth
faced
,
and
demure
countenanced
,
his
apparell
most
Silke
and
Veluet
,
his
cloake
and
his
hat
well
brushed
,
his
ruffes
well
set
,
his
stockings
wel
gartered
and
his
shooes
wel
blacked
,
a
sprinke
youth
,
that
as
farre
as
his
mon●y
would
serue
him
,
did
pricke
toward
the
Marchant
:
the
other
somewhat
more
stept
in
yeares
,
and
faced
somewhat
like
a
Bull
,
sauing
that
hee
would
léere
like
a
Lyme-hound
,
his
apparell
nothing
costly●
,
nor
very
comel●
,
cloath
and
fustian
,
and
that
of
●is
wiues
spinning
,
his
daughers
●a●ding
,
and
his
cousens
Weauing
,
his
hat
well
worne
and
vnlyned
,
his
ruffe
but
a
length
of
home
linnen
,
his
shooes
the
best
of
the
hyde
,
as
well
for
warmth
as
wearing
,
his
girdle
of
Buffe
leather
,
a
dagger
with
a
dudgion
haste
,
a
greasie
●ouch
with
a
ru●ty
ring
,
his
st●●kings
of
exce●ding
course
wooll
,
and
his
shooes
soundly
cobbled
:
this
was
all
that
I
could
note
in
his
outside
,
now
for
his
inside
,
let
me
tell
you
,
there
was
shrewde
matter
to
muse
vpon
as
you
shall
heare
:
for
th●se
two
(
age
and
youth
)
thus
pacing
the
stréete
with
a
close
measu●e
,
I
followed
till
they
came
to
a
Tauerne
doore
,
wh●re
going
into
a
priuate
roome
,
with
the
doore
shut
to
them
,
I
clapt
mee
into
an
odd●
seate
neere
vnto
them
,
where
calling
for
a

at

that
if
Iohn
a
Sul●●came
to

for
Tom

hee
should
bee
presently
brought
to
me
,
sitting
munching
vpon
a

and
sipping
●ow
and
then
of
a
cup
of
Wine
,
I
heard
all
their
confe●ence
,
which
was
as

would
be
〈◊〉
spoken
to
,
spake
very
lowde
vnto
thi●
youth
▪
when
the
first
that
I
coul●
heare
was
this
▪
well
sonne
,
you
would
hau●
money
,
and
I
could
well
part
with
it
,
if
I
sawe
●eason
to
perswade
me●
▪
how
eyther
●o
benefit
my selfe
or
you
by
it
:
for
it
is
a
Birde
that
flyeth
fast
forward
,
but
●t
sildome
comes
so
fast
home
againe
:
and
if
you
chaunge
him
into
an
other
shape
then
his
owne
,
hee
doth
often
loose
much
of
his
vertue
:
if
you
put
him
into
any
thin●
hee
may
happen
turne
to
nothing
.
For
(
let
mee
see
)
you
would
haue
foure
hundreth
p●undes
,
let
mee
heare
to
what
profitable
vse
you
would
imploy
them
?
The
young
man
(
with
as
soft
voyce
as
could
serue
his
thicke
eare●
)
mad●
him
this
answere
.
Si●
,
I
would
put
one
hundreth
pound
in
cloath
,
which
I
will
aduenture
beyond
the
Seas
,
or
fell
at
home
,
to
my
great
aduantage
.
Stay
quoth
the
olde
man
,
cloth
is
good
ware
,
so
i●
be
wel
ma●e
,
&
wel
bought
,
but
if
you
haue
no
skill
in
wool●
,
you
may
be
cousoned
in
your
cloth
:
besides
,
if
it
be
good
,
and
you
aduenture
it
(
mark
me
wel
)
the
sea
is
no
brooke
,
&
windes
are
wauering
,
stormes
are
perilous
,
rockes
and
sandes
are
mischieuous
,
Pirats
are
villanous
,
and
what
ship
but
may
catch
a
Leake
?
but
say
that
winde
,
weather
,
ship
&
saile
,
were
as
prosperous
as
heart
could
wish
,
to
make
a
happy
voiage
,
yet
the
goods
on
shore
,
the
charge
of
custome
,
the
time
of
vent
,
the
expence
of
carriage
,
may
make
the
commodity
so
little
,
as
without
the
better
stocke
,
may
quickly
kill
a
yong
Marchant
:
And
againe
,
if
the
Creditor
prooue
banckrout
,
or
the
Factor
a
s●endthrift
,
then
Summa
totalis
makes
but
a
sorrowful
reckoning
:
Now
at
home
,
if
they
be
stretched
vpon
the
tentor-hooks
,
burnt
in
the
dying
,
spoil'd
in
the
dressing
,
or
any
other
false
matter
fall
vpon
them
,
&
you
sell
them
for
good
,
the
buyer
is
cousoned
,
and
your
conscience
is
touched
,
and
●od
will
one
day
haue
it
answ●red
,
and
therefore
I
doubt
you
will
doe
little
good
with
it
in
cloat●
:
With
that
the
young
man
replyed
:
oh
sir
,
nothing
v●●ter
nothing
haue
,
therè
is
no
fishing
to
the
Sea
,
the
gaine
of
one
voyage
wil
beare
the
losse
of
many
,
and
a
Factor
▪
of
credit
will
neuer
trust
but
vpon
assuraunce
:
and
therefore
the
vndoing
of
one
man
must
not
be
the
hindrance
of
a
hundreth
:
if
I
liue
among
men
I
must
doe
as
men
doe
:
&
for
home
sale
,
if
all
things
be
not
as
they
should
be
,
they
must
bee
as
they
may
be
:
euery
one
mus●
line
by
his
trade
,
for
in
these
daies
he
that
stands
vpon
conscience
may
looke
after
commodity
,
&
c●me
not
néere
it
by
an
armes
length
:
why
quoth
the
old
man
,
do
you
get
so
much
by
meating
?
then
you
do
not
meane
to
go
to
heauen
for
you
measure
:
Alas
Sir
quoth
the
youth
,
in
the
Church
perhaps
wee
heare
of
heauen
,
but
in
●ur
shops
wee
haue
so
much
of
the
world
to
looke
to
,
that
wee
haue
almost
no
leasure
to
thinke
of
heauen
nor
hell
:
but
yet
I
hope
so
long
as
wée
pitch
and
pay
,
and
follow
the
trade
or
occupation
we
were
brought
vp
in
,
wee
shall
not
goe
to
hell
for
a
a
small
matter
.
No
quoth
the
olde
man
,
but
for
a
great
matter
you
may
,
and
you
that
should
loue
your
neighbour
,
to
betray
him
as
a
●udas
,
how
euer
you
thinke
of
it
,
I
feare
it
will
fall
foule
with
you
one
day
:
but
since
I
sée
you
are
giuen
to
thriue
,
though
I
would
be
loath
to
take
part
with
you
in
your
course
,
I
care
notif
I
deale
with
you
for
one
hundreth
poundes
,
to
bee
imployed
in
cloath
:
but
what
say
you
to
the
second
?
to
what
vse
wil
you
put
t●e
other
hundreth
?
The
other
hundreth
quoth
the
young
man
,
I
would
put
in
wines
,
an
excellent
commodity
,
and
ready
money
,
and
quick
returne
.
Alas
quoth
the
olde
man
,
it
is
pitty
the
returne
is
so
quicke
,
for
I
thinke
there
is
more
money
wasted
in
drinking
to
healthes
,
till
all
health
be
turned
to
sicknes
,
then
is
employed
in
many
necessary
good
occasions
:
but
let
euery
man
answere
for
his
owne
sinne
▪
my
sorrow
can
helpe
little
:
and
therefore
if
you
be
sure
of
good
wines
▪
spéedy
vent
and
good
chapmen
,
I
thinke
it
be
not
the
worst
ware
that
you
can
deale
withall
:
but
if
your
wines
be
small
hedge
wines
,
or
haue
taken
salt
water
,
and
you
●ither
by
brewing
them
with
milke
water
,
or
other
trumperies
,
or
by
mingling
one
with
another
,
and
so
marre
both
to
help
one
,
and
yet
get
money
into
your
hands
,
giue
day
,
and
protest
friendship
,
and
all
to
cheate
a
simple
man
,
whose
taste
and
his
wit
,
are
both
a
like
for
his
bargaine
:
oh
how
can
you
drinke
wine
,
but
you
must
thinke
of
your
wickednes
?
and
then
howe
it
goes
downe
God
knowes
,
and
I
feare
some
of
yée
feele
too
well
.
Well
Sir
quoth
the
young
man
,
I
tell
you
as
I
tolde
you
before
,
euery
man
must
looke
to
himself
,
and
therefore
if
you
will
deale
with
onely
men
of
conscience
,
you
may
kéep
your
money
long
enough
ere
it
will
doe
you
any
good
:
and
therefore
since
it
is
an
ill
winde
that
bloweth
no
man
to
good
,
let
the
drunkard
make
himselfe
poore
,
and
the
Uintiler
rich
,
and
the
Marchant
vent
his
commodity
,
as
hee
may
continue
his
Traffique
:
I
cannot
stand
vpon
●e●nies
,
for
your
money
you
shall
haue
securi●y
,
which
if
you
like
not
,
let
me
be
without
.
Nay
soft
quoth
the
olde
man
,
for
kindreds
,
●akerou●en
,
I
would
not
sticke
with
you
vpon
your
owne
bond
,
but
that
we
are
all
mortall
,
and
if
you
dye
,
your
suer●y
may
be
the
more
carefull
of
your
discharge
and
his
owne
to
:
and
therefore
Cousen
,
I
pray
you
in
kindenesse
tell
me
for
your
third
hundreth
▪
howe
you
will
imploy
it
?
Sir
quoth
he
,
at
your
request
I
am
content
to
tell
you
,
in
an
Office
:
An
Office
quoth
the
old
man
,
in
the
name
of
God
man
what
may
it
be
?
why
sir
quoth
he
,
the
kéeping
of
a
Iayle
or
prison
:
for
if
I
liue
but
a
fewe
yeares
,
I
will
make
mine
Irons
,
and
my
Tap-house
,
quickly
put
my
money
in
my
purse
,
with
aduantage
:
and
besides
my
ordinary
gaines
of
my
dyet
,
my
fées
allowed
,
besides
priuy
commodities
,
will
soone
multiply
my
hundreth
to
a
greater
summe
then
I
will
speake
of
:
Oh
but
Cousen
quoth
the
olde
man
,
when
you
see
the
misery
of
the
poore
,
and
thinke
on
the
sorrows
of
the
distressed
,
how
can
you
sleepe
in
your
bed
,
to
thinke
of
the
day
that
is
to
bee
looked
for
?
Oh
Cousen
,
be
sure
this
world
is
but
a
picture
,
where
pleasure
or
paine
,
is
but
as
a
shadow
of
that
which
is
to
come
●
remember
my
good
cousen
what
will
be
spoken
at
the
latter
day
,
when
you
may
well
say
you
haue
visited
the
sicke
,
for
you
see
your
prisoners
for
your
owne
safety
:
but
how
you
haue
fed
the
hungry
,
or
cloathed
the
naked
,
I
pray
God
your
conscience
doe
not
come
against
you
:
In
briefe
,
cousen
I
had
rather
giue
thee
a
hundreth
pounds
to
leaue
it
,
then
lend
thée
a
penny
to
take
it
:
Sir
quoth
the
young
man
,
I
thanke
you
,
but
patience
rather
then
pitty
,
hath
béene
euer
the
way
to
profit
:
the
small
grasse
of
the
field
fils
the
barne
full
of
hay
,
and
the
poore
mens
money
fils
the
rich
mans
purse
:
he
that
will
not
kill
a
shéep
because
hee
will
not
see
his
bloud
,
may
hap
to
be
without
meate
for
his
dinner
,
and
why
should
I
pitty
him
that
hath
no
pitty
of
him selfe
▪
yet
pe●hap●
I
may
make
that
gaine
of
the
wilfull
,
that
néede
not
come
neere
me
that
may
make
mee
comfort
them
that
cannot
goe
from
me
:
corruption
you
know
hath
a
part
in
●ur
nature
,
whose
infection
bréedeth
diuers
effectes
of
euill
▪
and
who
liueth
without
sin
?
and
therefore
if
rich
men
will
be
beggers
,
and
beggers
make
rich
men
,
giue
me
leaue
to
take
my
course
,
I
will
leaue
you
to
your
good
conscience
.
Oh
cousen
bee
not
a
bloud
sucker
,
there
is
other
meate
then
Mutton
,
and
therfore
pray
not
vpon
Lambes
,
&
if
you
can
,
endure
the
cry
of
the
miserable
,
yet
in
what
you
can
be
comfortable
,
and
if
the
wilfull
be
wofull
,
yet
be
not
you
ioyfull
,
but
to
all
distressed
be
pittifull
,
and
put
away
that
corruption
,
that
may
bréed
an
eternall
confusion
:
put
not
the
poore
to
his
Irons
,
least
they
eate
with
sorrow
into
his
soule
,
nor
detaine
the
wofull
in
misery
,
leas●
you
be
shutte
out
of
the
gates
of
mercy
:
howsoeuer
Iustice
commaund
execution
,
vse
you
commiseration
:
and
so
since
I
see
your
intent
,
I
will
not
put
you
from
your
purpose
:
but
to
the
last
hundreth
deale
(
as
plainely
)
what
will
you
doe
with
it
?
In
briefe
Sir
quoth
the
young
man
,
I
will
put
it
out
vpon
interest
,
where
(
by
such
plots
as
I
can
worke
)
I
will
get
foure
score
in
the
hundreth
,
and
perhaps
my
hundreth
againe
:
that
were
a
wonder
quoth
the
olde
man
,
but
is
not
this
intérest
you
speake
of
plaine
vsury
?
No
sir
quoth
the
youth
,
not
plaine
,
but
in
plaine
truth
,
where
there
is
no
truth
,
it
is
priuy
▪
Usury
:
As
how
quoth
the
olde
man
?
Why
sir
quoth
the
youth
,
when
my
petty
Brokers
,
séekers
for
young
spend-thriftes
▪
heare
of
a
youth
new
come
to
his
land
,
that
is
ready
to
sell
it
ere
hee
know
the
rent
of
it
,
vpon
him
goe
they
:
to
me
they
come
for
some
commodity
,
eyther
an
Artificiall
stone
,
that
must
passe
for
an
Orientall
Iewell
:
a
rare
péece
of
Silke
,
that
will
scarse
holde
the
cutting
out
:
a
lame
horse
though
stand
right
for
a
little
way
:
and
these
with
●any
other
such
trickes
must
be
foysted
into
a
little
money
to
make
vp
a
hundreth
pounds
,
for
which
he
shall
be
surely
lapt
in
bondes
sufficient
to
hold
him
fast
:
then
ere
hee
come
to
haue
his
money
,
my
Broker
must
haue
his
share
,
his
Seller
must
haue
his
share
,
and
the
S●riuenor
must
haue
more
then
for
his
writings
for
his
share
,
out
of
al
which
shares
I
must
haue
a
share
,
besides
the
commodity
of
my
money
,
&
badware
,
&
yet
I
must
séeme
an
honest
man
,
&
of
good
concience
,
that
wil
not
take
aboue
the
Statute
for
any
thing
:
but
thus
wee
share
the
Spend-thriftes
money
among
vs
,
&
if
he
breake
his
day
,
as
it
is
●ddes
he
wil
,
then
new
double
bondes
,
and
newe
shares
for
the
forbearaunce
:
till
thus
with
our
sharing
,
we
leaue
him
but
a
little
to
share
from
vs
:
Alas
quoth
the
old
man
why
you
were
as
good
take
his
purse
by
the
high
way
▪
oh
no
she
quoth
the
youth
,
it
is
●arre
better
and
easier
thus
to
méete
with
his
money
by
a

way
:
wee
that
thus
●éede
vpon
the
folly
of

,
are

ordained
to
bee

scourges
of
Prodigality
:
and
when
auerice
hath
once
bewitched
the
minde
with
wealth
,
it
is
but
labour
lost
to
perswade
reason
to
leaue
it
:
and
therefore
Cousen

though
by
your

it
agrée
not

Oh
cousen
quoth

truely
this

of

and
therefore
since
I
sée
your

euery
one

rather
to
deceiue
the

to

for
his
time
,
as
one
shoul●
méete
w●●h
among
a
thousand
:
but
since
the
Sunne
growes
●ow
,
I
will
quit
you
with
one
wonder
of
mine
,
and
so
giue
ouer
till
we
méete
againe
.
Lor.
Con●ent
,
●se
your
discretion
,
as
time
and
my
memory
serueth
,
I
will
either
giue
ouer
or
requite
you
.
Fran.
Well
then
you
shall
vnderstand
,
that
it
was
my
ha●
in
a
kinde
of
house
,
betwixt
a
Tauerne
and
an
●lehouse
,
where
all
sortes
of
people
might
haue
ware
for
their
money
,
Lor.
Oh
by
your
leaue
a
little
,
was
it
not
a
kinde
of
a
Burdell
,
a
brothell
,
or
a
baudy
house
?
Fran.
Fie
man
you
speake
too
broad
,
for
where
a
man
may
be
merry
for
his
money
,
is
there
no
meate
thinke
you
but
laced
Mutton
?
and
if
a
kinde
wench
play
the
good
fellow
,
must
Master
Constable
needes
be
angry
?
it
is
a
heauie
hearing
.
Lor.
Yea
when
the
belly
growes
so
bigge
,
that
the
burthen
must
lye
vpon
the
parish
.
Fra.
Away
man
,
that
is
the
w●rst
,
but
if
men
were
not
hard
hearted
,
women
might
be
better
dealt
withal
.
Lor.
Come
,
you
will
one
day
be
catcht
napping
for
your
fine
humour
:
but
I
pray
you
on
with
your
wonder
.
Fran.
Why
I
will
tell
you
:
sitting
in
this
foresaid
tipling
tapling
house
,
gnawing
vpon
a
crust
,
longer
then
I
had
néed
,
and
making
many
sips
o●
a
pot
of
Ale
,
hauing
a
faggot
before
me
,
which
I
meant
to
sit
the
burning
out
of
,
I
heard
in
the
next
roome
(
somewhat
closer
then
where
I
sat
)
two
or
thrée
laughing
very
hartely
,
and
as
through
a
creuice
in
the
boords
I
might
espye
them
,
I
saw
a
fat
queane
with
a
double
chin
,
set
betwixt
a
couple
of
léering
companions
,
at
the
least
crafty
knaues
:
where
laying
mine
eare
a
little
to
the
wall
,
I
heard
all
their
chat
,
which
was
as
I
will
tell
you
:
Cousen
quoth
one
of
them
(
to
this
Fubs
)
by
this
drinke
(
and
then
he
fecht
me
off
a
whole
Can
,
that
his
eye●
stared
with
his
draft
)
this
money
was
well
got
:
why
I
got
forty
shillings
of
M.
you
wot
who
,
for
only
telling
of
him
where
the
widdow
of
the
Eagle
dwelt
,
setting
her
out
,
to
bee
all
in
the
pinners
papers
,
in
the
thousandes
at
least
,
and
a
house
so
furnished
,
it
would
doe
ones
heart
go●d
to
come
in
it
,
and
for
a
Wife
the
world
had
not
a
kinder
creature
:
now
,
to
her
I
made
a
trayne
by
her
cousen
my
neighbour
,
to
bée
so
acquainted
with
her
,
that
after
I
had
got
into
a
little
●hat
with
her
,
I
set
her
in
such
a gogge
for
a
husband
,
with
setting
out
this
Gentleman
to
bee
so
gallant
a
man
,
so
goodly
a
man
,
so
fine
a
man
,
so
kinde
a
man
,
so
louing
a
man
,
so
courteous
a
man
,
so
proper
a
man
,
and
so
braue
a
man
,
that
besides
his
liuing
which
was
more
then
hers
by
a
great
deale
,
his
creadit
was
such
with
the
great
ones
,
that
she
should
go
in
her
Hood
euery
day
,
and
leade
a
life
like
a
Lady
at
the
least
:
Now
when
with
these
words
,
I
had
set
them
both
in
such
tune
,
that
I
knew
how
to
haue
the
drawing
of
both
their
purse
stringes
,
when
I
had
so
long
plumed
vpon
his
feath●rs
,
that
they
began
to
growe
too
fast
for
getting
off
,
then
finding
an
olde
Archer
instéed
of
a
Sutor
,
that
noting
my
acquaintaunce
with
the
Widdow
,
would
make
a
profit
of
my
trauaile
,
to
him
fell
I
,
and
giuing
ouer
my
young
gallant
,
fell
aboord
with
his
bounty
,
and
hauing
him
in
bond
(
beside
his
dayly
liberality
)
that
●f
hee
gat
the
widdow
,
I
should
haue
the
hundreth
poundes
,
to
worke
went
I
with
my
wittes
,
to
bring
this
world
about
:
and
one
day
sitting
with
the
widdow
in
sad
talke
,
after
she
had
asked
me
of
my
youth
,
(
with
a
sigh
)
I
answered
that
he
was
well
,
and
if
that
shee
would
bee
secret
,
I
would
acquaint
her
with
that
which
should
make
her
thinke
mee
an
honest
man
:
she
not
caring
what
she
sayed
,
to
heare
what
I
would
say
,
promised
secrecy
:
whereupon
I
began
to
play
my
part
kindly
:
Alas
widdow
quoth
I
(
to
deale
plainely
with
you
)
my
friend
and
I
must
be
two
,
for
whereas
I
thought
him
the
most
honest
,
and
stayed
kind
Gentleman
,
and
good
husband
in
the
world
,
I
find
he
is
a
wencher
,
&
a
spend-thrift
,
and
so
hasty
that
nere
a
friend
hee
hath
but
is
weary
of
his
company
,
&
withall
(
I
may
tel
you
)
he
is
in
debt
,
truly
I
haue
bin
sorrie
at
my
hart
,
that
I
wa●
was
so
deceiued
in
him
,
to
open
my
mouth
in
his
commendation
,
especially
to
a
woman
of
your
worth
,
who
it
were
pitty
that
he
should
liue
,
to
looke
vpon
more
then
as
a
stranger
:
but
I
hope
there
is
nothing
so
far
past
but
may
be
called
backe
againe
?
No
quoth
shee
I
warrant
you
,
I
will
looke
to
that
well
enough
,
and
I
am
glad
I
heare
of
it
so
soone
,
and
I
thank
you
with
al
my
hart
:
oh
these
yong
men
are
dangerous
to
deale
withall
:
indéed
(
as
they
say
)
they
will
make
much
of
one
,
for
they
will
make
as
much
of
one
as
they
can
,
and
then
leaue
vs
to
make
our
prayers
at
whining
crosse
,
but
I
will
leaue
them
all
and
bee
ruled
by
my
friendes
,
I
am
not
so
young
,
but
I
can
make
much
of
an
olde
man
,
and
loue
him
to
,
if
hee
vse
mee
well
,
for
I
see
by
my
neighbours
,
it
is
better
being
an
olde
mans
darling
then
a
young
mans
worldling
:
say
you
so
Mistris
quoth
I
,
and
truly
if
you
be
so
minded
,
I
warrant
you
I
will
fit
you
with
a
gentleman
for
your
turne
:
one
,
that
though
hee
bee
somewhat
in
yéeres
,
yet
is
he
as
staite
an
olde
man
,
and
as
neate
in
his
apparell
,
as
if
he
were
but
twenty
yéeres
of
age
:
one
that
loued
his
olde
wife
out
of
cry
,
hee
hath
but
one
daughter
,
and
shee
is
marryed
,
so
that
hee
hath
no
charge
to
trouble
him
:
and
for
his
wealth
,
hee
knowes
no
ende
of
his
goodes
:
Yea
quoth
the
widdow
,
such
a
one
were
worth
the
looking
on
,
and
for
the
honesty
that
I
haue
found
in
you
,
I
will
thinke
the
better
of
you
while
I
knowe
you
,
welcome
to
me
at
all
times
,
and
bring
your
friend
,
it
may
bee
he
shall
not
mislike
his
entertainment
:
with
these
good
wordes
,
I
tooke
my
leaue
,
and
after
many
thankes
,
making
her
beléeue
wonders
,
about
my
villany
went
I
,
and
being
well
acquainted
with
a
cousen
of
hers
,
who
was
to
pay
her
a
summe
of
money
,
which
should
be
forgiuen
him
by
this
olde
man
,
if
he
could
get
her
,
we
made
such
meanes
,
that
with
the
good
helpe
of
her
kinsman
,
who
lent
this
Cunny-catching
cunning
companion
,
both
money
and
wares
for
his
furniture
:
we
found
such
times
,
and
made
such
méetings
,
that
we
clapt
vp
a
wicked
bargaine
:
and
for
my
paines
(
what
care
I
for
the
vndoing
of
her
and
him
,
&
twenty
more
,
to
serue
my
turne
)
I
gat
these
crownes
,
and
will
haue
more
to
them
ere
it
bee
long
:
and
bee
hang'd
you
will
quoth
goodwife
Bumble
Bee
,
but
sirra
worst
thou
what
?
I
le
tell
thée
as
pretty
a
tale
:
in
my
house
(
thou
knowst
)
I
haue
them
,
that
will
carry
meate
in
their
mouthes
,
and
not
loose
a
bone
for
a
shaddow
:
now
vpon
some
month
a
goe
,
I
entertained
a
young
gossip
,
that
was
not
such
a
baby
,
but
she
knew
how
to
but●er
her
bread
,
and
yet
the
vilde
baggadge
(
because
she
was
somewhat
snowte
faire
)
would
be
a
little
proude
and
foolish
withall
,
she
would
be
for
no
Churle
,
nor
Chappes
,
she
was
a
minion
for
a
Champion
:
yea
but
daughter
quoth
I
,
we
cannot
kéep
house
with
faire
lookes
,
wee
must
haue
money
,
and
the
Churle
at
home
will
be
liberall
abroad
,
and
the
Chuffe
wil
bring
better
prouander
than
Chaffe
,
where
he
meanes
to
baite
:
be
content
,
a
purse
of
golde
is
worth
ten
pipes
of
Tobacco
,
please
an
olde
mans
humour
,
and
haue
his
hart
:
these
youths
of
the
parish
,
that
are
so
spruse
in
their
apparell
,
haue
little
money
in
their
purses
,
and
their
verses
and
their
tales
,
are
not
worth
a
pudding
for
our
trade
:
the
basket
with
cakes
,
the
pee●es
of
stuffes
,
the
Iewels
,
and
the
gold
,
this
is
it
that
maintaines
the
matter
▪
talke
is
but
winde
,
there
is
nothing
to
be
borrowed
on
it
,
leaue
your
idle
humor
,
or
you
will
liue
but
ill
fauouredly
:
Now
sir
,
how
she
listned
to
me
I
know
not
,
or
how
shee
profited
in
my
instruction
,
but
an
olde
Widower
comming
to
my
house
(
instéed
of
the
common
course
that
he
might
haue
taken
)
fell
into
so
great
a
liking
of
her
beauty
,
that
leauing
to
fall
aboord
with
her
for
,
and
so
forsooth
,
began
to
tell
her
how
great
a
pitty
it
was
that
so
swéet
a
creature
,
in
face
and
body
,
should
haue
so
foule
a
minde
:
and
if
that
rather
néede
of
maintenance
,
then
wicked
delight
,
did
driue
her
to
this
lewde
kinde
of
life
,
and
that
he
might
be
perswaded
of
her
loathing
and
leauing
her
ill
course
,
his
wealth
was
sufficient
:
children
he
had
none
,
and
to
bring
her
to
good
hee
cared
not
to
spend
halfe
that
hee
had
,
shee
should
be
wife
,
childe
,
loue
,
and
perhaps
heyre
to
the
best
part
of
that
he
had
:
this
sound
in
her
eare
,
so
went
to
her
heart
,
that
by
such
meanes
as
he
wrought
,
my
girle
was
got
away
,
and
my
house
almost
ouerthrowne
by
it
,
for
I
may
tell
you
she
was
a
diamond
wench
,
for
colour
and
countenance
,
and
wit
at
will
:
but
when
this
Widower
had
wedded
her
,
and
she
began
to
looke
about
her
,
she
was
so
turned
honest
,
that
it
was
a
wonder
howe
shée
could
hit
on
it
:
but
to
be
short
,
one
day
(
not
past
a
wéeke
a
goe
)
she
sent
for
me
,
and
her
good
man
being
abroad
,
she
gat
me
alone
with
her
into
a
chamber
,
where
after
a
showre
of
teares
:
oh
quoth
she
,
leaue
leaue
your
wicked
and
hellish
life
,
it
may
last
a
while
,
but
the
end
wil
be
nought
:
Virgins
virginityes
,
yong
mens
patrimonies
,
olde
mens
wealthes
,
lost
,
solde
,
and
wasted
,
bodies
diseased
,
mindes
troubled
,
hearts
agréeued
,
and
soules
tormented
,
hel
in
the
house
,
&
the
deu●l
in
euery
corner
:
take
ho●de
I
say
of
a
faire
warning
,
let
the
shame
of
nature
,
the
hurt
of
reason
,
the
abuse
of
time
,
and
the
offence
of
grace
,
make
you
loath
this
vilenes
,
&
leaue
this
villany
,
deuised
by
the
deuill
,
&
enacted
but
by
his
angels
:
God
is
where
he
was
,
he
hath
called
me
home
,
follow
me
to
him
,
breake
vp
your
ill
company
,
and
fall
to
your
prayers
,
if
you
want
come
to
mée
,
I
will
not
sée
you
want
,
but
if
you
will
not
take
this
kindly
,
&
follow
it
soundly
,
I
wil
leaue
you
vtterly
,
ha●e
you
deadly
,
and
persecute
you
most
cruelly
:
Now
,
when
she
had
made
an
ende
,
she
stung
me
so
to
the
heart
,
tha●
I
was
not
able
to
answere
her
a
word
a
good
while
,
but
at
last
comming
to
my selfe
,
I
did
thanke
her
▪
and
tolde
her
,
that
she
should
sée
I
would
thinke
on
her
,
whereupon
she
gaue
me
this
golde
,
and
by
this
golde
so
I
haue
,
for
I
haue
put
two
away
,
and
the
rest
shall
follow
as
fast
as
may
be
,
for
I
wil
turne
christian
,
and
doe
thou
Hodge
too
,
and
in
good
earnest
if
thou
wilt
doe
as
I
will
doe
,
wée
will
strike
a
bargaine
:
thou
hast
béen
a
knaue
,
and
art
sorry
for
it
,
I
haue
béen
a
drab
,
and
am
ashamed
of
it
,
let
vs
leaue
al
knauery
and
sweare
honesty
,
wee
shall
doe
more
good
with
them
that
know
vs
when
they
sée
vs
,
then
a
thousand
of
them
that
looke
vpon
vs
,
and
will
not
beléeue
vs
:
Well
Madge
quoth
the
Cheator
,
thou
hast
almost
turning
my
heart
in
my
belly
with
this
talke
of
thine
,
&
truely
I
will
soone
come
home
to
thée
,
when
it
shall
be
thy
fault
if
wee
iumpe
not
vpon
the
maine
point
,
but
what
meanes
my
Cosen
Rainolde
to
change
colour
and
sit
so
sad
?
Oh
cosen
quoth
hee
,
I
heere
you
talke
of
a
mendment
,
and
reioyce
to
heare
it
,
but
when
I
thinke
withall
vpon
mine
owne
wickednes
,
it
prickes
me
to
the
heart
to
remember
it
:
Oh
the
false
and
counterfet
wares
that
I
haue
sold
to
simple
chapmen
in
the
country
,
where
as
well
in
losse
of
wares
,
as
by
imprisonment
for
breach
of
payment
,
I
haue
vndone
a
number
,
and
the
goods
of
diuers
honest
men
that
I
gat
into
my
hands
,
and
then
closely
(
to
cousen
my
creditors
)
played
banckrout
without
neede
:
Oh
Cousen
when
I
kept
Shoppe
if
a
poore
Gentleman
had
broke
day
with
me
but
for
forty
shillings
,
I
would
haue
defamed
him
,
with
shifter
and
beggar
,
and
I
know
not
what
,
but
when
I
had
vndone
I
know
not
how
many
,
and
yet
all
would
not
thriue
with
me
,
what
shall
I
doe
?
Why
Cousen
,
aske
God
mercy
for
your
sinnes
,
of
that
which
you
haué
,
pay
as
far
as
it
will
goe
,
or
employ
it
to
such
good
vse
,
as
may
in
time
make
satisfaction
,
no
doubt
but
God
will
be
mercifull
,
you
will
thriue
and
prosper
,
and
your
conscience
will
be
at
quiet
:
say
you
so
Cousen
quoth
hee
,
I
thanke
you
with
all
my
heart
,
and
since
I
haue
neither
wife
nor
Children
,
if
yee
two
make
a
match
,
I
care
not
if
I
spend
the
residue
of
my
life
in
your
company
,
I
will
be
a
lodger
in
your
house
,
and
we
wil
liue
&
die
like
friends
:
vpon
this
they
clapt
hands
,
called
for
their
reckonings
,
and
departed
,
when
going
out
of
the
doores
,
the
men
were
both
turned
to
Plouers
,
and
the
woman
to
an
Howlate
:
and
thinke
you
not
this
a
wonder
?
Lor.
No
it
is
no
wonder
,
that
William
Plouer
and
his
cousen
Roger
of
Mallets
moore
,
and
Sib
Howlate
of
Nilcocks
Marsh
,
should
meete
at
Bulley
Market
,
and
drinke
a
Pot
of
Ale
at
the
Mag
Pie
:
but
for
the
wonder
it
was
in
their
talke
and
turning
honest
,
if
the
tale
bee
true
as
you
tell
it
,
but
looke
you
,
the
Sunne
goes
lowe
,
it
is
time
to
bee
walking
,
let
vs
keepe
the
rest
of
our
wonders
till
our
next
meeting
.
Fran.
Content
,
and
it
shall
goe
hard
▪
but
I
will
bee
for
you
:
in
the
meane
time
farewell
.
