TO
THE
RIGHT
WORSHIPFVLL
AND
generous-minded
Gentleman
,
Sir
TIMOTHY
THORNHILL
Knight
.
SIR
,
IS
it
not
strange
that
an
Owle
should
write
an
Almanacke
?
Yet
why
not
,
as
well
as
a
Crow
speake
Latin
to
Caesar
?
And
why
not
an
Owle
prognosticate
wonders
,
which
are
sure
to
happen
this
yeere
,
as
for
Astrologicall
wizzards
to
shoot
threating
Calenders
out
of
their
inke-pots
at
the
world
,
and
yet
when
they
hit
,
their
fillups
hurt
nothing
?
Lyes
are
as
well
acquainted
with
Astronomers
,
as
othes
are
with
Souldiers
,
or
as
owing
money
is
familiar
to
Courtiers
:
But
Madge-Owlet
fetches
her
predictions
out
of
an
vpper
roome
in
Heauen
,
where
neuer
any
common
star-catcher
was
garretted
before
.
Had
I
a
bird
of
Paradice
,
I
should
gladly
send
her
flying
to
you
,
and
therefore
I
hope
that
your
acceptance
of
this
Owle
(
though
shee
be
none
of
mine
,
but
hiding
her
broad
face
vnder
my
Eeues
by
chance
)
will
keepe
petty
idle
birds
from
wondring
about
her
.
I
wish
euery
yeere
you
are
to
liue
,
to
begin
and
end
with
you
,
as
merrily
as
this
Prognostication
takes
her
ayme
to
make
you
,
and
that
I
may
cease
to
be
,
when
I
giue
ouer
from
being
Deuoted
euer
at
your
Worships
disposing

THE
OWLES
EPISTLE
to
the
Rauen.
BRother
Rauen
,
I
did
euer
enuy
the
happines
of
other
Birds
,
when
I
saw
them
freely
enioying
Woods
,
Fields
,
Parks
,
Forrests
,
Cities
,
Kingdomes
,
and
all
that
the
mouing
canopy
of
heauen
can
couer
,
as
their
proper
cages
to
sing
in
all
the
day
,
drawing
thereby
,
audience
to
their
bewitching-musicke-Lectures
;
when
poore
I
(
hauing
more
knowledge
(
except
in
song
)
than
the
proudest
of
them
)
durst
neuer
,
or
seldome
gad
abroad
in
the
light
.
But
when
I
heard
,
and
beheld
your selfe
a
student
in
the
Mathematicks
,
and
by
iumbling
together
a
hotch-potch
of
Calculations
,
to
be
counted
an
Astronomer
,
and
to
paste
vp
your
name
on
euery
poste
in
the
title
of
a
Booke
,
called
,
The
Rauens
Almanacke
,
I
did
then
more
vex
than
euer
before
.
I
confesse
you
are
a
Bird
of
a
larger
wing
than
I
am
,
goodlir
is
your
proportion
,
piercing
are
your
eyes
,
your
colour
so
amiable
,
that
Women
take
a
pride
to
haue
haire
,
blacke
as
a
Rauens
,
dreadfull
is
your
voice
,
bloudy
your
beake
,
and
your
tallons
full
of
terror
:
but
let
your
bosome
be
open
,
and
then
(
as
in
some
great
States-men
,
who
carry
an
outward
glorious
show
)
nothing
is
to
be
found
but
vglines
,
treachery
,
and
rapacitie
.
But
if
it
shall
be
no
dishonour
for
me
to
stand
on
the
tiptoes
of
mine
owne
commendations
,
I
would
then
against
your
ominous
croaking
thus
farre
preferre
my
wakefull
hooting
,
that
I
haue
euer
beene
held
a
praedooming
Bird
;
but
(
besides
that
)
an
Embleme
of
Wisdome
,
and
so
sacred
among
the
Athenians
,
that
they
carried
the
reuerence
of
my
picture
stamped
vpon
their
money
.
Now
(
brother
Rauen
)
as
in
this
point
I
spitefully
make
comparisons
with
you
,
as
prouing
my selfe
,
not
one
,
to
whom
you
may
cry
,
Haile
fellow
well
met
:
So
will
I
,
in
these
my
Ptolomaicall
praedictions
,
discouer
to
the
world
such
wonders
from
the
planatary-Regions
,
that
not
onely
thou
,
but
all
other
Birds
(
daring
to
pry
into
the
priuy-chamber
of
Heauen
)
shall
plucke
in
their
heads
(
as
I
doe
vntill
twilight
)
with
shame
,
and
neuer
offer
more
to
pester
Pauls
Church-yard
,
with
their
triuiall
Prognostications
.
I
haue
beene
this
yeere
in
progresse
with
the
Moone
,
riding
on
the
Dogge
which
the
man
in
the
Moone
leads
,
whose
bush
of
Thornes
he
lent
me
,
in
steed
of
a
fanne
to
keep
off
the
winde
,
whilst
he
himselfe
ranne
along
by
me
as
my
footman
.
Much
skill
learnt
I
of
the
Moone
,
for
shee
is
a
great
light
to
Almanack-makers
,
albeit
in
shew
,
shee
seeme
but
a
cold
friend
to
them
:
and
much
mad
talke
had
I
with
that
lunaticall
fellow
(
the
squire
of
her
body
.
)
The
12
houses
of
the
Sunne
,
lay
higher
vp
into
the
countrey
,
so
that
by
reason
my
sight
hath
euer
beene
bad
,
I
had
no
great
stomach
to
mount
vp
thither
,
because
I
know
the
Sunne
(
who
neuer
could
endure
me
)
would
haue
spied
both
a
Moate
in
mine
eye
,
and
a
Beame
too
.
Here
I
caught
starres
,
faster
than
a
Cat
will
kill
flies
;
of
which
store
I
shot
some
downe
to
helpe
those
that
write
Almanacks
for
London
.
Some
of
the
12
Signes
(
which
like
cast
garments
,
being
worne
to
peeces
,
were
throwne
by
into
an
odd
corner
)
I
clapt
close
vnder
my
wings
,
and
now
they
are
to
be
seene
hanging
in
the
middle
of
Cheapeside
;
for
there
's
the
Ram
,
the
Bull
,
the
Crab
,
Capricorne
,
&c.
Onely
the
young
wench
(
called
Virgo
)
would
by
no
meanes
sit
in
any
shop
in
that
streete
,
because
so
many
Gallants
lye
ouer
the
stalls
,
courting
euery
hansom
woman
there
,
that
the
maide
was
afraid
to
haue
lost
her
head
,
in
the
company
.
Thus
with
weary
winge
traueld
I
,
but
being
now
come
backe
from
the
Court
of
the
Moone
,
(
who
is
not
much
vnlike
me
,
hauing
a
great
broad
platter
face
as
mine
is
)
listen
to
the
wonders
which
I
bring
with
me
:
So
hooting
and
whooping
a
silence
to
your
Rauenship
,
I
prognosticate
my selfe
,
yours
for
a
strange
Almanacke
for
a
whole
yeere
,
The
OWLE
.
The
beginnings
and
endings
of
the
4.
Termes
in
the
Yeere
.
HIllary
Terme
is
the
merriest
Terme
of
all

It
begins
in
hope
to
the
Lawyer
to
haue
good
doings
,
and
ends
in

The

waiting
vpon
him
,
and
would

It

5
Returnes
.
-
The

well
.
-
The

the

him

The

TRinitie

is
a
very
hot
fellow

yet
in
regard
he
is
but
Trinity
Terme
.
short
liu'd
,
(
for
he
is
borne
the
ninth
of
Iune
,
and
departs
the
twenty
eight
of
Iuly
)
he
doth
no
great
good
to
the
Lawyer
,
nor
great
hurt
to
the
Client
.
It
begins
in
one
of
the
Kings
Courts
at
Westminster
Hall
,
and
ends
in
one
of
the
prisons
about
London
.
It
hath
4
Returnes
.
-
And
those
Returnes
are
like
the
4
quarters
of
a
decreasing
or
wayning
Moone
.
-
The
first
Returne
,
the
rich
Plaintiffe
,
with
corpulent
bacon-fed
guts
,
rides
puffing
vp
to
London
,
with
a
purse
warmely
linde
,
and
that
s
the
full
moone
,
during
which
fulnes
he
far
out-shines
the
Defendant
,
and
giues
great
light
to
the
Lawyers
,
though
in
the
end
they
light
him
,
when
his
owne
torch
burnes
no
longer
.
-
The
second
Returne
,
the
lamentably-complaining
Defendant
,
comes
vp
too
,
being
more
in
the
wayne
than
the
other
,
(
nay
parhaps
altogether
out
both
of
the
Wayne
,
horses
,
and
oxen
)
and
yet
his
purse
not
three
quarters
full
neither
.
-
The
third
Returne
,
what
with
Councellors
,
Attournies
,
Clarkes
,
and
other
ministers
of
iustice
,
the
Plaintiffes
purse
is
scarse
halfe
full
,
which
he
empties
euery
day
(
as
he
melts
his
grease
)
with
trudging
from
Court
to
Court
,
onely
to
vndoe
his
poore
Aduersary
.
-
The
fourth
Returne
,
there
is
a
iudgement
gotten
against
the
Defendant
,
and
now
his
heart
&
cause
being
both
ouerthrowne
together
,
his
spirits
are
so
darkned
with
black
clouds
of
sorrow
,
that
he
seemes
vtterly
ecclipsed
,
vntill
the
first
quarter
of
a
new
Moone
,
which
will
not
shew
her
hornes
vntill
next
Terme
.
MIchaelmas
Terme
comes
in
with
his
nose
dropping
,
and
a
pipe
of
lighted
Tobacco
puffing
out
of
his
mouth
,
to
dry
Michaelmas
Terme
.
vp
the
rhewme
,
for
he
's
but
a
sniueling
companion
:
You
shall
seldome
see
him
but
dawbd
vp
to
the
hams
with
durt
and
raine
;
and
commonly
,
to
make
amends
for
that
,
a
pynte
of
mulld
sack
is
his
mornings
draught
.
It
begins
with
a
shiuering
to
500
that
are
Termers
,
but
ends
in
a
burning
Feuer
,
for
Westminster
and
London
are
too
hot
for
400
of
these
500
to
tarry
by
it
.
It
hath
8
Returnes
.
-
The
first
Returne
,
an
Essex
Yeoman
hath
a
Goose
goes
gagling
into
his
neighbours
barne
.
-
The
second
Returne
,
he
that
owes
that
barne
,
wrings
off
the
neck
of
this
Goose.
-
The
third
Returne
,
the
Gooses
master
,
ambles
vp
to
the
Terme
to
a
man
of
Law
,
drawing
out
his
purse
,
as
he
driuells
out
his
speech
,
and
scrapes
with
his
hobnailes
for
counsell
,
how
to
sue
in
the
Gooses
name
.
-
The
fourth
Returne
,
he
that
assaulted
and
battred
the
Goose
,
gallops
vp
too
,
and
thrashes
out
his
siluer
about
that
Goose
too
.
-
The
fifth
Returne
the
matter
comes
to
tryall
.
So
that
-
The
Goose
is
pluckd
,
—
there
's
the
Iury.
.
-
The
Goose
is
rosted
with
delicate
sawce
,
there
's
the
Verdict
.
-
The
Lawyer
eats
the
Goose
,
there
's
a
Iudgment
entred
.
-
And
giues
the
feathers
to
sticke
the
other
two
coxcombes
,
Execution
vpon
that
iudgement
.
-
The
sixth
Retourne
,
the
Lawyer
perswades
his
clyent
,
it
was
no
Goose
,
but
a
Gander
:
too
't
againe
they
goe
.
-
The
seuenth
Returne
,
the
two
Essex
Calues
haue
suckd
each
other
dry
,
and
haue
neither
Goose
nor
Gander
.
-
The
eight
Returne
,
they
goe
home
like
a
couple
of
tame
Geese
,
when
their
feathers
are
pluck'd
,
and
are
passing
good
friends
.
There
are
Star-chamber
daies
in

these
4
Termes
,

T

neither

I

Finally

a

be
much
in

a

T
were
a

beyond

to
suffer
any
Waggon-wheele
,
to
presse

.
Only
if
you
pardon
this
precursion
,
it
may
so
happen
,
that
as
I
haue
here
chattered
of
your
vernall
age
,
so
I
may
hereafter
tell
you
of
your
winter
blasts
,
of
the
rigorous
tempests
that
shall
beate
the
blossomes
from
your
blooming
plants
.
But
for
this
time
I
desist
.
So
Tradesmen
fare
you
well
.
Yet
before
wee
shake
hands
at
parting
,
let
vs
as
Country
Chapmen
going
from
their
Innes
in
a
morning
,
giue
one
another
the
Basilus
on
horsebacke
,
with
a
cup
of
white
wine
and
sugar
,
if
it
be
Summer
:
but
now
I
remember
,
it
being
the
fall
of
the
leafe
,
and
trees
beginning
to
stand
like
tottered
roagues
halfe
naked
,
a
cup
of
mulld
Sacke
and
Ginger
is
better
for
the
stomacke
.
Take
this
therefore
next
your
heart
.
I
know
that
to
catch
riches
in
a
net
,
you
fish
in
all
the
wealthy
streames
of
the
world
,
besides
the
broad
sea
.
But
is
it
not
more
safe
for
you
to
angle
standing
on
the
land
?
And
what
land
is
more
peaceable
then
your
owne
?
And
vpon
your
owne
,
where
shall
you
meet
lesse
foule
dealings
then
at
Faires
?
To
the
fairest
of
Faires
I
wish
you
therefore
to
turne
your
horses
heads
.
Many
Faires
are
in
England
,
and
(
being
wenching
fellowes
as
you
are
)
I
thinke
not
but
you
haue
set
vp
your
standings
and
opened
boothes
in
all
or
the
best
of
them
.
But
my
Prognostication
speakes
of
other
Faires
,
to
which
if
trauelling
,
your
purses
be
euer
the
warmer
linde
,
stand
wondring
no
more
at
the
ill-fac'd
Owle
,
but
say
she
hath
a
piercing
eye
to
catch
Mice
in
such
corners
.
And
so
in
the
name
of
Minerua
(
Patronesse
of
Handicrafts
)
set
forward
,
for
now
I
proclaime
my
Faires
.
Faires
in
England
.
A
Fare
at
Westminster
bridge
euery
forenoone
of
all
the
4
Termes
in
the
yeere
:
And
in
the
afternoones
of
the
same
daies
,
a
Fare
at
Temple
staires
:
And
these
Fares
(
no
bawdy
boothes
in
them
)
are
kept
in
Wherries
.
A
Fare
on
the
Bankside
when
the
play-houses
haue
two
penny
tenants
dwelling
in
them
.
A
Fare
at
Blacke
Friers
,
when
any
Gentleman
comming
to
that
place
,
desires
to
be
a
landed
man
.
A
Fare
is
sure
to
be
at
cold
Harbour
,
when
a
fresh
delicate
whore
lyes
there
,
cum
priuilegio
.
Bartholmew
Faire
begins
euer
on
the
24
of
August
;
but
Bartlemew-babies
are
held
in
London
(
in
mens
armes
)
all
the
yeare
long
.
A
Faire
at
Cuckolds
Hauen
euery
S.
Lukes
day
;
but
all
that
passe
that
way
haue
not
gilded
hornes
,
as
(
then
)
the
Hauen
has
.
The
Faire
kept
heretofore
at
Beggers
bush
,
is
this
yeare
remou'd
and
held
in
the
prisons
about
London
,
and
in
some
of
the
streets
of
the
Citie
too
.
A
Faire
of
Horses
at
Rippon
in
Yorkeshire
this
yeare
,
and
euery
yeare
a
Faire
of
A●…
at
Layton
Buzzard
.
A
Faire
of
Sowes
on
Michaelmas
day
at
Blockly
in
Worcestershire
,
but
your
best
pigges
and
fattest
porke
are
at
our
Lady
Faire
in
Southwarke
.
A
Faire
at
Rumford
for
Hogges
euery
tuesday
in
the
weeken
but
your
fairest
headed
Oxen
are
fed
in
London
.
A
faire
Wench
is
to
be
seene
euery
morning
in
some
shop
in
Cheapside
:
And
in
Summer
afternoones
the
selfe-same
Faire
opens
her
Booth
at
one
of
the
Garden-houses
about
Bun-hill
.
A
Faire
paire
of
Gallowes
is
kept
at
Tiburne
from
yeares
end
to
yeares
end
:
And
the
like
Faire
(
but
not
so
much
resort
of
Chapmen
,
and
Crack-ropes
to
it
)
is
at
St
Thomas
a
Watrings
.
The
High
wayes
of
England
,
how
they
lye
;
and
how
to
trauell
from
one
place
to
another
.
NOw
because
there
are
no
Faires
,
but
they
are
kept
in
some
certaine
places
:
And
that
no
place
can
be
gone
vnto
,
but
by
knowledge
of
the
wayes
,
I
haue
therefore
chalked
out
here
some
of
the
most
notorious
wayes
in
the
Kingdome
,
for
the
benefit
of
galled-toe-Trauelers
,
therby
the
sooner
to
come
to
their
Innes
,
viz.
The
way
betweene
Yorke
and
London
,
is
iust
so
many
miles
as
betweene
London
and
Yorke
:
It
hath
diuers
times
bin
ridden
in
a
day
:
so
that
by
my
Geometricall
dimensions
I
finde
it
but
a
dayes
iourney
:
Yet
the
Post-masters
of
the
North
sweare
t
is
a
great
deale
more
.
The
way
betweene
Charing
Crosse
,
and
not
a
crosse
to
bee
found
scarse
in
20
purses
,
for
one
that
passes
by
,
is
to
be
tried
by
many
a
Gallants
pocket
,
with
yellow
band
,
fether
Pendant-Reguardant
,
and
cloake
lined
with
veluet
,
and
therefore
here
I
spare
to
speake
of
so
poore
a
thing
.
The
way
betweene
the
two
Counters
in
London
may
bee
trauelld
in
as
short
a
time
,
as
one
of
the
Varlets
there
ventures
his
soule
for
money
,
&
that
s
much
about
a
quarter
of
an
houre
,
or
halfe
at
most
.
The
way
to
proue
the
taking
of
any
purse
,
(
be
it
neuer
so
full
)
and
to
stand
in
that
quarrell
euen
to
the
death
,
is
to
go
first
to
Newgate
,
and
then
to
Tiburne
.
The
way
to
be
an
arrant
Asse
,
is
to
bee
a
meere
Vniuersitie
Scholler
.
The
high
way
to
Bedlam
,
is
first
to
set
forth
at
Westminster
Hall
,
and
there
to
be
vndone
in
4
or
5
Termes
by
corrupted
Lawyers
.
Betweene
starke
drunke
,
and
reasonably
sober
,
is
much
about
4
houres
sleeping
:
but
some
that
haue
trauelled
those
ouerflowing
Countries
,
say
t
is
sometimes
more
.
The
way
to
heauen
is
to
walke
with
a
good
conscience
;
hee
that
rides
without
it
goes
vily
out
of
the
way
,
and
ten
to
one
if
euer
he
gets
thither
.
The
way
to
Hell
,
is
cleane
the
contrary
way
to
Heauen
;
the
one
turnes
a
the
right
hand
,
tother
on
the
left
.
