CHAP.
I.
How
Pantagruel
went
to
Sea
,
to
Visit
the
Oracle
of
Bacbuc
,
alias
the
Holy
Bottle
.
IN
the
Month
of
June
,
on
Vesta's
Holy-days
,
the
very
numerical
day
on
which
Brutus
,
conquering
Spain
,
taught
its
strutting
Dons
to
truckle
under
him
,
and
that
niggardly
Miser
Crassus
was
routed
and
knock'd
on
the
head
by
the
Parthians
,
Pantagruel
took
his
leave
of
the
good
Gargantua
,
his
Royal
Father
.
The
old
Gentleman
,
according
to
the
laudable
Custom
of
the
Primitive
Christians
,
devoutly
pray'd
for
the
happy
Voyage
of
his
Son
and
his
whole
Company
,
and
then
they
took
Shipping
at
the
Port
of
Thalassa
.
Pantagruel
had
with
him
Panurge
,
Fryar
Jhon
des
Entomeures
,
alias
,
of
the
Funnels
,
Epistemon
,
Gymnast
,
Eusthenes
,
Rhizotome
,
Carpalin
,
cum
multis
aliis
,
his
ancient
Servants
and
Domestics
.
Also
Xenomanes
,
the
great
Traveller
,
who
had
cross'd
so
many
dangerous
Roads
,
Dikes
,
Ponds
,
Seas
,
and
so
forth
,
and
was
come
sometime
before
,
having
been
sent
for
by
Panurge
.
For
certain
good
Causes
and
Considerations
him
thereunto
moving
,
he
had
left
with
Gargantua
and
marked
out
,
in
his
Great
and
Universal
Hydrographical
Chart
,
the
Course
which
they
were
to
steer
to
Visit
the
Oracle
of
the
Holy
Bottle
,
Bacbuc
.
The
number
of
Ships
was
such
as
I
described
in
the
Third
Book
,
Convoyed
by
a
like
number
of
Triremes
,
Men
of
War
,
Gallions
and
Feluccaes
well
Rigg'd
,
Caulkt
,
and
Stor'd
with
a
good
quantity
of
Pantagruelion
.
All
the
Officers
,
Droggermen
,
Pilots
,
Captains
,
Mates
,
Boatswains
,
Mid-Shipmen
,
Quarter-Masters
and
Sailers
,
met
in
the
Thalamege
,
Pantagruel's
principal
Flag-Ship
,
which
had
in
her
Stern
a
huge
large
Bottle
,
half
Silver
well
polish'd
,
the
other
Half
Gold
,
Inamel'd
with
Carnation
,
whereby
it
was
easie
to
guess
that
white
and
red
were
the
colours
of
the
Noble
Travellers
,
and
that
they
went
for
the
Word
of
the
Bottle
.
On
the
Stern
of
the
Second
was
a
Lanthorn
like
those
of
the
Antients
,
industriously
made
with
Diaphanous
Stone
,
implying
that
they
were
to
pass
by
Lanternland
.
The
Third
Ship
had
for
her
Devise
a
fine
deep
China
Ewre
.
The
Fourth
,
a
double
handed
Jar
much
like
an
ancient
Urn.
The
Fifth
,
a
famous
Kin
made
of
Sperm
of
Emerald
.
The
Sixth
,
a
Monk's
Murnping
Bottle
made
of
the
four
Mettals
together
.
The
Seventh
,
an
Ebony
Funnel
all
imboss'd
and
wrought
with
Gold
after
the
Tauchic
manner
.
The
Eighth
,
an
Ivy
Goblet
very
precious
,
inlaid
with
Gold
.
The
Ninth
,
a
Cup
of
fine
Obriz
Gold
.
The
Tenth
,
a
Tumbler
of
Aromatic
Agaloch
(
you
call
it
Lignum
aloes
)
edg'd
with
Cyprian
Gold
,
after
the
Azemine
make
.
The
Eleventh
,
a
Golden
Vine-Tub
of
Mozaic
work
.
The
Twelfth
a
Runlet
of
unpolish'd
Gold
,
covered
with
a
small
Vine
of
large
Indian
Pearl
of
Topiarian
work
.
Insomuch
that
there
was
no
Man
,
however
in
the
Dumps
,
musty
,
sower
look'd
,
or
Melanchollic
he
were
,
not
even
excepting
that
blubbering
Whiner
Heraclitus
,
had
he
been
there
▪
but
,
seeing
this
Noble
Convoy
of
Ships
and
their
Devises
,
must
have
been
seized
with
present
gladness
of
Heart
,
and
smiling
at
the
Conceit
,
have
said
that
the
Travellers
were
all
honest
Topers
,
true
Pitcher-men
,
and
have
judged
by
a
most
sure
Prognostication
,
That
their
Voyage
both
outward
and
homeward
bound
,
would
be
performed
in
Mirth
and
perfect
Health
.
In
the
〈◊〉
where
was
the
general
〈◊〉
,
Pantag●●●l
〈◊〉
a
sh●r●
but
sweet
Exhortation
,
w●●ly
●●k'd
with
Au●●o●●●is
from
〈…〉
a
N●●igation
;
which
●●ving
ended
,
with
〈…〉
Prayers
were
said
in
〈…〉
of
●ll
the
Burgh●●s
of
〈◊〉
,
who
had
flock'd
to
the
Mole
to
see
〈…〉
Shipping
.
After
the
Prayers
,
was
melodiously
sung
a
Psalm
of
the
Holy
Kings
David
,
whi●h
●●gins
,
W●en
Israel
went
out
of
Aeg●pt
;
and
that
being
ended
,
Tables
were
plac'd
upon
D●●k
,
and
a
Feast
speedily
serv'd
up
.
The
T●●a●●ssians
who
had
also
born
a
Chorus
in
the
Psalm
,
caus'd
store
of
belly-Timber
to
be
brought
out
of
their
Houses
.
All
drank
to
them
,
they
drank
to
all
;
which
was
the
cause
that
none
of
the
whole
Company
gave
up
what
they
had
eaten
,
nor
were
Sea-sick
with
a
pain
at
the
Head
and
Stomach
,
which
inconveniency
they
could
not
so
easily
have
prevented
by
drinking
,
for
some
time
before
,
Salt
water
either
alone
or
mixt
with
Wine
,
using
Quinces
,
Citron-peel
,
Juice
of
Pomgranats
,
s●wrish
Sweet-Meats
,
fasting
a
long
time
,
covering
their
Stomachs
with
Paper
;
or
following
such
other
idle
Remedies
,
as
foolish
Physicians
prescribe
to
those
that
go
to
Sea
.
Having
often
renewed
their
Tiplings
,
each
Mother's
Son
retired
on
board
his
own
Ship
,
and
set
Sail
all
so
fast
with
a
merry
Gale
at
South
East
,
to
which
point
of
the
Compass
the
Chief
Pilot
James
B●●●er
by
Name
,
had
shap'd
his
Course
,
and
fixt
all
things
accordingly
.
For
seeing
that
the
Oracle
of
the
Holy
Bottle
lay
near
Catay
,
in
the
upper
India
,
his
advice
and
that
of
Xe●●manes
also
,
was
,
not
to
steer
the
Course
which
the
Portug●se
use
,
while
sayling
through
the
T●rr●●
Z●ne
▪
and
Cape
Bona
Speranza
at
the
S●●●h
point
of
●●●ck
beyond
the
Equinoctial
Line
,
and
losing
sight
of
the
Northern
Pole
their
Guide
,
they
make
a
prodigious
long
Voyage
;
but
rather
to
keep
as
near
the
Parallel
of
the
said
India
as
possible
,
and
to
tack
to
the
Westard
of
the
said
Pole
,
so
that
winding
under
the
North
,
they
might
find
themselves
in
the
Latitude
of
the
Port
of
Olone
without
coming
nearer
it
for
fear
of
being
shut
up
in
the
Frozen
Sea
;
whereas
following
this
Canonical
Turn
by
the
said
Parallel
,
they
must
have
that
on
the
right
to
the
Eastward
,
which
at
their
departure
was
on
their
left
.
This
prov'd
a
much
shorter
Cut
▪
for
without
Ship-wreck
,
Danger
,
or
loss
of
Men
,
with
uninterrupted
good
Weather
,
except
one
day
near
the
Island
of
the
Macre●ns
,
they
perform'd
in
less
than
four
Months
the
Voyage
of
Upper
India
,
which
the
Portuguese
,
with
a
thousand
Inconveniencies
and
innumerable
Dangers
,
can
hardly
compleat
in
three
Years
.
And
it
is
my
Opinion
,
with
Submission
to
better
Judgments
,
that
this
Course
was
perhaps
steered
by
those
Indians
who
Sail'd
to
Germany
▪
and
were
honourably
received
by
the
King
of
the
Swedes
,
while
Quintus
Metel●
Ce●er
was
Proconsul
of
the
Gauls
,
as
Cor●
Nepos
,
Pomponius
Mela
,
and
Pliny
after
the●
tell
us

CHAP.
II.
How
Pantagruel
bought
many
Rarities
in
the
Island
of
Medamothy
.
THat
day
and
the
two
following
,
they
neither
discovered
Land
nor
any
thing
new
;
for
they
had
formerly
Sailed
that
way
;
but
on
the
fourth
they
made
an
Island
called
Medamothy
,
of
a
fine
and
delightful
Prospect
,
by
reason
of
the
vast
number
of
Light-Houses
and
high
Marble
Towers
in
its
Circuit
,
which
is
not
less
than
that
of
Canada
.
Pantagruel
,
enquiring
who
Govern'd
there
,
heard
that
it
was
King
Philophanes
,
absent
at
that
time
upon
account
of
the
Marriage
of
his
Brother
Philotheamon
with
the
Infanta
of
the
Kingdom
of
Engys
.
Hearing
this
,
he
went
ashoar
in
the
Harbour
,
and
while
every
Ship
's
Crew
Water'd
,
pass'd
his
time
in
viewing
divers
Animals
,
Fishes
,
Birds
,
and
other
exotic
and
foreign
Merchandises
which
were
along
the
Walks
of
the
Mole
,
and
in
the
Markets
of
the
Port.
For
it
was
the
third
day
of
the
great
and
famous
Fair
of
the
Place
,
to
which
the
chief
Merchants
of
Africa
and
Asia
resorted
.
Out
of
these
Fryar
Jhon
bought
him
two
rare
Pictures
,
in
one
of
which
,
the
Face
of
a
Man
that
brings
in
an
Appeal
,
was
drawn
to
the
Life
,
and
in
the
other
,
a
Servant
that
wants
a
Master
,
with
every
needful
Particular
,
Action
,
Countenance
,
Looks
,
Gate
,
Feature
and
D●portment
,
being
an
Original
,
by
Master
Charles
Charmo●s
,
Principal
Painter
to
King
Megistus
;
and
he
paid
for
them
in
the
Court
Fashion
,
with
Congé
and
Grimace
.
Panurge
bought
a
large
Picture
copied
and
done
from
the
Needle-Work
formerly
wrought
by
Pl●●●mela
,
shewing
to
her
Sister
Progue
how
her
Brother-in
Law
Tere●s
had
by
force
hansel●'d
her
Copy-hold
,
and
then
cut
out
her
Tongue
,
that
she
might
not
(
as
Women
will
)
tell
tales
.
I
vow
and
swear
by
the
handle
of
my
Paper
Lanthorn
,
that
it
was
a
gallant
,
a
mi●ific
,
nay
a
most
admirable
P●●ce
.
Nor
do
you
think
,
I
pray
you
,
that
in
it
was
the
Picture
of
a
Man
playing
the
Beast
with
two
Backs
with
a
Female
,
this
had
been
too
silly
and
gross
;
no
,
no
;
't
was
another-guise
thing
,
and
much
plainer
.
You
may
if
you
please
,
see
it
at
Theleme
on
the
left
hand
,
as
you
go
into
the
high
Gallery
.
Epistem●n
bought
another
wherein
were
painted
to
the
Life
,
the
Ideas
of
Plato
and
the
At●ms
of
Epicurus
.
Rizotome
purchased
another
,
wherein
Echo
was
drawn
to
the
Life
.
Pantagruel
caused
to
be
bought
by
Gymnast
,
the
Life
and
Deeds
of
Achilles
in
seventy
eight
pieces
of
Tapestry
four
Fathom
long
and
three
Fathom
broad
,
all
of
Phrygian
Silk
imbo●s'd
with
Gold
and
Silver
;
the
Work
beginning
at
the
Nuptials
of
Peleus
and
Thetis
,
continuing
to
the
Birth
of
Achilles
;
his
Youth
described
by
Statius
Papinius
;
his
Warlike
Atchievements
celebrated
by
Homer
;
his
Death
and
Exequies
written
by
Ovid
and
Quintus
Calaber
;
and
ending
at
the
appearance
of
his
Ghost
,
and
Polyxene's
Sacrifice
Rehearsed
by
Euripides
.
He
also
caused
to
be
bought
three
fine
young
Unicorns
;
one
of
them
a
Male
of
a
Chesnut
colour
,
and
two
grey
dappled
Females
;
also
a
Tarand
whom
he
bought
of
a
Scythian
of
the
Geloni's
Country
.
A
Tarand
is
an
Animal
as
big
as
a
Bullock
,
having
a
Head
like
a
Stag
,
or
a
little
bigger
,
two
stately
Horns
with
large
Branches
,
cloven
Feet
,
Hair
long
like
that
of
a
Furr'd
Muscovite
,
I
mean
a
Bear
,
and
a
Skin
almost
as
hard
as
Steel
Armor
.
The
Scythian
said
that
there
are
but
few
Tarands
to
be
found
in
Scythia
,
because
it
varieth
its
colour
according
to
the
diversity
of
the
places
where
it
grazes
and
abides
,
and
represents
the
colour
of
the
Grass
,
Plants
,
Trees
,
Shrubs
,
Flowers
,
Meadows
,
Rocks
,
and
generally
of
all
things
near
which
it
comes
.
It
hath
this
common
with
the
Sea
Pulp
,
or
Polypus
,
with
the
Thoes
,
with
the
Wolves
of
India
,
and
with
the
Chamaelion
which
is
a
kind
of
a
Lizard
so
wonderful
,
that
Democritus
hath
written
a
whole
Book
of
its
Figure
,
and
Anatomy
,
as
also
of
its
Vi●●
and
Propriety
in
Magick
.
This
I
can
●
firm
,
that
I
have
seen
it
change
its
colour
not
only
at
the
approach
of
things
that
have
a
colour
,
but
by
its
own
voluntary
impulse
,
according
to
its
fear
or
other
affections
:
●
for
example
,
upon
a
green
Carpet
,
I
have
seen
it
certainly
become
green
;
but
having
remain'd
there
some
time
,
it
turn'd
yellow
,
blue
,
tann'd
,
and
purple
in
course
,
in
the
same
manner
as
you
see
a
Turky
Cock's
Comb
change
colour
according
to
its
Passions
.
But
what
we
found
most
surprizing
in
this
Tarand
,
is
,
that
not
only
its
Face
and
Skin
,
but
also
its
Hair
could
take
whatever
colour
was
about
it
.
Near
Panurge
with
his
Kersy
Coat
,
its
Hair
used
to
turn
gray
;
near
Pantagruel
with
his
Scarlat
Mantle
,
its
Hair
and
Skin
grew
red
;
near
the
Pilot
drest
after
the
fashion
of
the
Isiacs
of
Anubis
in
Aegypt
,
its
Hair
seem'd
all
white
;
which
two
colours
the
Chamaelion
can't
borrow
.
When
the
Creature
was
free
from
any
fear
or
affection
,
the
colour
of
its
Hair
was
just
such
as
you
see
that
of
the
Asses
of
Meung
.
CHAP.
III.
How
Pantagruel
received
a
Letter
from
his
Father
Gargantua
,
and
of
the
strange
way
to
have
speedy
News
from
far
distant
places
.
WHile
Pantagruel
was
taken
up
with
the
Purchace
of
those
foreign
Animals
,
the
noise
of
ten
Guns
and
Culverins
,
together
with
a
loud
and
joyful
Cheer
of
all
the
Fleet
was
heard
from
the
Mole
.
Pantagruel
look'd
towards
the
Haven
,
and
perceived
that
this
was
occasioned
by
the
Arrival
of
one
of
his
Father
Gargantua's
Celoces
,
or
Advice-Boat
named
the
Chelidonia
,
because
on
the
Stern
of
it
,
was
Carv'd
in
Corinthian
Brass
a
Sea
Lark
,
which
is
a
Fish
as
large
as
a
Dare-fish
of
Loire
,
all
Flesh
and
no
Bone
,
with
cartilaginous
Wings
(
like
a
Batt's
)
very
long
and
broad
,
by
the
means
of
which
,
I
have
seen
them
fly
about
three
Fathom
above
Water
about
a
Bow-shot
.
At
Marseillis
't
is
call'd
Lendole
.
And
indeed
that
Ship
was
as
light
as
a
Lark
,
so
that
it
rather
seem'd
to
fly
on
the
Sea
than
to
Sail.
Mali●●rn
,
Gargantua's
Esq
Carver
,
was
come
in
her
,
being
sent
expresly
by
his
Master
to
have
an
Account
of
his
Son's
Health
and
Circumstances
,
and
to
bring
him
Credentials
.
When
M●●●corn
had
Saluted
Pantagruel
,
before
the
Prince
opened
the
Letters
,
the
first
thing
he
said
to
him
,
was
,
Have
you
here
the
Gozal
,
the
Heavenly
Messenger
?
Yes
,
Sir
,
said
he
,
here
it
is
swadled
up
in
this
Basket
.
It
was
a
grey
Pigeon
taken
out
of
Gargantua's
Dove-House
,
whose
youngones
were
just
hatch'd
when
the
Advice-Boat
was
going
off
.
If
any
ill
Fortune
had
befallen
Pantagruel
,
he
would
have
fastened
some
black
Ribbon
to
its
Feet
;
but
because
all
things
had
succeeded
happily
hitherto
,
having
caus'd
it
to
be
undrest
,
he
ty'd
to
its
Feet
a
white
Ribbon
,
and
without
any
further
delay
,
let
it
loose
.
The
Pigeon
presently
flew
away
cutting
the
Air
with
an
incredible
speed
,
as
you
know
that
there
is
no
flight
like
a
Pigeon's
,
especially
when
it
hath
Eggs
or
Young
Ones
,
through
the
extream
care
which
Nature
hath
fixt
in
it
to
relieve
,
and
be
with
its
Young
;
insomuch
,
that
in
less
than
two
hours
it
compass'd
in
the
Air
,
the
long
Tract
which
the
Advice
Boat
with
all
her
diligence
,
with
Oars
and
Sails
,
and
a
fair
Wind
,
had
gone
through
in
no
less
than
three
Days
and
three
Nights
,
and
was
seen
(
as
it
went
into
the
Dove-House
)
in
its
Nest
.
Whereupon
Gargantua
hearing
that
it
had
the
white
Ribbon
on
,
was
joyful
and
secure
of
his
Son's
wellfare
.
This
was
the
Custom
of
the
Noble
Gargantua
and
Pantagruel
,
when
they
would
have
speedy
News
of
something
of
great
Concern
,
as
the
event
of
some
Battel
either
by
Sea
or
Land
;
the
Surrendring
or
Holding
out
of
some
strong
Place
;
the
determination
of
some
difference
of
Moment
;
the
safe
or
unhappy
Delivery
of
some
Queen
or
great
Lady
;
the
Death
or
Recovery
of
their
sick
Friends
or
Allies
,
and
so
forth
.
They
used
to
take
the
Gozal
,
and
had
it
carried
from
one
to
another
by
the
Post
,
to
the
places
whence
they
desir'd
to
have
News
.
The
Gozal
bearing
either
a
black
or
white
Ribbon
,
according
to
the
Occurrences
and
Accidents
,
us'd
to
remove
their
doubts
at
its
return
,
making
in
the
space
of
one
hour
,
more
way
through
the
Air
,
than
thirty
Post-Boys
could
have
done
in
one
natural
day
.
May
not
this
be
said
to
redeem
and
gain
time
with
a
vengeance
,
think
you
?
For
the
like
Service
therefore
,
you
may
believe
as
a
most
true
thing
,
that
,
in
the
Dove-Houses
of
their
Farms
,
there
were
to
be
found
all
the
year
long
,
store
of
Pigeons
hatching
Eggs
or
rearing
their
young
.
Which
may
be
easily
done
in
Aviaries
and
Voleries
,
by
the
help
of
Saltpeter
and
the
Sacred
Herb
Vervain
.
The
Gozal
being
let
fly
,
Pantagruel
perus'd
his
Father
Gargantua's
Letter
,
the
Contents
of
which
were
as
followeth
.
My
Dearest
Son
,
THe
Affection
that
naturally
a
Father
bears
a
beloved
Son
,
is
so
much
encreased
in
me
,
〈◊〉
reflecting
on
the
particular
Gifts
which
by
the
Divine
Goodness
have
been
heaped
on
thee
,
that
since
〈◊〉
Departure
,
it
hath
often
banished
all
other
Thoughts
out
of
my
Mind
;
leaving
my
Heart
wholly
possess'd
with
fear
,
lest
some
misfo●tune
has
attended
thy
Voyage
:
for
thou
knowest
that
fear
was
ever
the
attendant
of
true
and
sincere
Love
.
Now
because
(
as
H●●●od
saith
)
A
good
beginning
of
any
thing
is
the
half
of
it
;
or
,
well
beg●●'s
ha●●
done
,
according
to
the
old
saving
;
to
free
my
Mind
from
this
anxiety
,
I
have
exp●esly
dispatched
Malicorn
,
that
he
may
give
me
a
true
account
of
thy
Health
at
the
beginning
of
thy
Voyage
.
For
if
it
be
good
,
and
such
as
I
wish
it
,
I
shall
easily
foresee
the
rest
.
I
have
met
with
some
diverting
Books
,
which
the
Bearer
will
deliver
thee
,
thou
mayst
read
them
when
thou
want●st
to
unbend
and
ease
thy
Mind
from
thy
better
Studies
:
He
will
also
give
thee
at
large
the
News
at
Court
.
The
Peace
of
the
Lord
be
with
thee
.
Remember
me
to
Panurge
,
Fryer
Jhon
,
Epistemon
,
Xenomanes
,
Gymnast
,
and
thy
other
principal
Domesticks
.

How
Pantagruel
writ
to
his
Father
Gargantua
,
and
sent
him
several
Curiosities
.
PAntagruel
having
perused
the
Letter
,
had
a
long
Conference
with
the
Esquire
Mal●●●
,
insomuch
,
that
Panurge
at
last
interrupting
them
,
ask'd
him
,
Pray
,
Sir
,
when
do
you
design
to
drink
?
When
shall
we
drink
?
When
shall
the
Worshipful
Esquire
drink
?
What
a
Devil
have
you
not
talk'd
long
en●ugh
to
drink
?
'T
is
a
good
motion
,
answered
Pantagruel
,
go
,
get
us
something
ready
at
the
next
Inn
;
I
think
't
is
the
Centaur
.
In
the
mean
time
he
writ
to
Gargantua
as
followeth
,
to
be
sent
by
the
aforesaid
Esquire
.
Most
Gracious
Father
,
AS
our
Senses
and
Animal
Faculties
are
more
discompos'd
at
the
News
of
Events
unexpected
,
tho
desir'd
(
even
to
an
immediate
dissolution
of
the
Soul
from
the
Body
)
than
if
those
accidents
had
●●en
foreseen
;
so
the
coming
of
Malicorn
hath
much
surprized
and
disordered
me
.
For
I
had
no
hopes
to
see
any
of
your
Servants
,
or
to
●ear
from
you
,
before
I
had
finished
our
Voyage
,
and
contented
my self
with
the
dear
remembrance
of
your
August
Majesty
,
deeply
impress'd
in
the
hindmost
Ventricle
of
my
Brain
,
often
representing
you
to
my
Mind
.
But
since
you
have
made
me
happy
beyond
expectation
,
by
the
perusal
of
your
Graci●us
Letter
,
and
the
Faith
I
have
in
your
Esquire
hath
reviv'd
my
Spirits
by
the
News
of
your
wellfare
;
I
am
as
it
were
compell'd
to
do
what
formerly
I
did
freely
,
that
is
,
first
to
praise
the
Blessed
Redeemer
,
who
by
his
Divine
Goodness
preserves
you
in
this
long
enjoyment
of
perfect
Health
;
then
to
return
you
eternal
Thanks
for
the
fervent
Affection
which
you
have
for
me
your
most
humble
Son
and
unprofitable
Servant
.
Formerly
a
Roman
,
named
Furnius
,
said
to
Augustus
who
had
received
his
Father
into
Favour
,
and
Pardoned
him
after
he
had
sided
with
Anthony
,
that
by
that
Action
the
Emperor
had
reduc'd
him
to
this
extremity
,
That
for
want
of
power
to
be
Grateful
,
both
while
he
lived
and
after
it
,
he
should
be
obliged
to
be
tax'd
with
Ingratitude
:
So
I
may
say
,
That
the
excess
of
your
Fatherly
Affection
,
drives
me
into
such
a
streight
,
that
I
shall
be
forced
to
li●e
and
die
ungrateful
;
unless
that
Crime
be
redress●d
by
the
Sentence
of
the
Stoicks
,
who
say
,
That
there
are
three
parts
in
a
Benefit
,
the
one
of
the
Giver
,
the
other
of
the
Receiver
,
the
third
of
the
Remunerator
;
and
that
the
Receiver
rewards
the
Giver
when
he
freely
receives
the
Benefit
,
and
always
remembers
it
;
as
on
the
contrary
,
That
Man
is
most
ungrateful
who
despises
and
forgets
a
Benefit
.
Therefore
,
being
overwhelmed
with
infinite
Favours
,
all
proceeding
from
your
extream
goodness
,
and
on
the
other
side
wholly
uncapable
of
making
the
smallest
Return
,
I
hope
at
least
to
free
my self
from
the
imputation
of
Ingratitude
,
since
they
can
never
be
blotted
out
of
my
Mind
;
and
my
Tongue
shall
never
cease
to
own
,
that
,
to
thank
you
as
I
ought
,
transcends
my
Capacity
.
As
for
us
,
I
have
this
assurance
in
the
Lord's
Mercy
and
Help
,
that
the
end
of
our
Voyage
will
be
answerable
to
its
beginning
,
and
so
it
will
be
entirely
performed
in
Health
and
Mirth
.
I
will
not
fail
to
set
down
in
a
Journal
a
full
Account
of
our
Navigation
,
that
at
our
return
,
you
may
have
an
exact
Relation
of
the
whole
.
I
have
found
here
a
Scythian
Tarand
,
an
Animal
strange
and
wonderful
for
the
variations
of
colour
on
its
Skin
and
Hair
,
according
to
the
distinction
of
neighbouring
things
:
It
is
▪
a●
tractable
and
easily
kept
as
a
Lamb
;
be
pleased
to
accept
of
it
.
I
also
send
you
three
young
Vnicorns
,
which
are
the
tamest
of
Creatures
.
I
have
confer'd
with
the
Esquire
,
and
taught
him
how
they
must
be
fed
;
these
cannot
graze
on
the
Ground
,
by
reason
of
the
long
Horn
on
their
Fore-head
,
but
are
forced
to
brouze
on
Fruit-Trees
,
or
on
proper
Racks
,
or
to
be
fed
by
Hand
with
Herbs
,
Sheaves
,
Apples
,
Pears
,
Barly
,
●ye
,
and
other
Fruits
,
and
Roots
being
plac'd
before
them
.
I
am
amazed
that
Ancient
Writers
should
report
them
to
be
so
Wild
,
Furious
and
Dangerous
,
and
never
seen
alive
:
far
from
it
,
you
will
find
that
they
are
the
mild●st
things
in
the
World
,
provided
they
are
not
maliciously
offended
.
Likewise
,
I
send
you
the
Life
and
Deeds
of
Achilles
in
curious
Tapistry
;
assuring
you
that
whatever
Rarities
of
Animals
,
Plants
,
Birds
,
or
precious
Stones
,
and
others
,
I
shall
be
able
to
find
and
purchase
in
our
Travels
,
shal
be
brought
to
you
,
God
milling
,
whom
I
beseech
by
his
blessed
Grace
,
to
preserve
you
.

Pantagruel

While
Pantagruel
was
writing
this
Letter
,
Malicorn
was
made
welcom
by
all
with
a
thousand
goodly
Good-Morows
and
Howd●y's
;
they
c●u●g
about
him
so
,
that
I
cannot
tell

how
much
they
made
of
him
,
how
many
Humble

,
how
many
from
my

and
to
my

were
lent

Pantagruel
having
writ
his

sat
down
at
Table
with
him

afterwards
presented
him
with
a

How
Pantagruel
met
a
Ship
with
Passengers
returning
from
Lantern-Land
.
ON
the
fifth
day
we
began
already
to
wind
by
little
and
little
about
the
〈◊〉
,
going
still
farther
from
the
Equinoctial
〈◊〉
we
discovered
a
Merchant
Man
to
the
Wind
ward
of
us
.
The
joy
for
this
was
not
smal
on
both
sides
,
in
hopes
to
hear
News
from
Sea
,
and
those
in
the
Merchant-Man
from
Land
.
So
we
bore
upon
'em
,
and
coming
up
with
them
,
we
Hal'd
them
,
and
finding
them
to
be
Frenchmen
of
Xaintonge
,
back'd
our
Sails
and
lay
by
to
talk
to
them
.
Pantagruel
heard
that
they
came
from
Lantern-Land
,
which
added
to
his
joy
,
and
that
of
the
whole
Fleet.
We
enquir'd
about
the
State
of
that
Country
,
and
the
way
of
living
of
the
Lanterns
,
and
were
told
,
that
about
the
latter
end
of
the
following
July
,
was
the
time
prefix'd
for
the
meeting
of
the
General
Chapter
of
the
Lanterns
;
and
that
if
we
arrived
there
at
that
time
,
as
we
might
easily
,
we
should
see
a
Handsom
,
Honourable
,
and
Jolly
Company
of
Lanterns
,
and
that
great
Preparations
were
making
,
as
if
they
intended
to
Lanternise
there
to
the
purpose
.
We
were
told
also
,
That
if
we
touch'd
at
the
great
Kingdom
of
Gebarin
,
we
should
be
Honourably
received
and
Treated
by
the
Sovereign
of
that
Country
,
King
Ohabé
,
who
as
well
as
all
his
Subjects
,
speaks
T●urame
French
.
While
we
were
listening
to
these
News
,
Panurge
fell
out
with
one
Dingdong
a
Drover
o●
Sheep-Merchant
of
Tailleb●urg
.
The
occasion
of
the
Fray
was
thus
.
This
same
Dingdong
seeing
Panurge
without
a
Codpiece
,
with
his
Spectacles
fastened
to
his
Cap
,
said
to
one
of
his
Comrades
,
Prithee
,
look
,
is
not
there
here
a
fine
Medal
of
a
Cuckold
?
Panurge
by
reason
of
his
Spectacles
,
as
you
may
well
think
,
heard
more
plainly
by
half
with
his
Ears
than
usually
;
which
caused
him
(
hearing
this
)
to
say
to
the
sawcy
Dealer
in
Mutton
,
in
kind
of
a
Pet
;
How
the
Devil
should
I
be
one
of
the
Hornified
Fraternity
,
since
I
am
not
yet
a
Brother
of
the
Marriage
Noose
,
as
thou
art
,
as
I
guess
by
thy
ill-favoured
Phyz
?
Yea
verily
,
quoth
the
Grazier
,
I
am
Married
,
and
would
not
be
otherwise
for
all
the
pairs
of
Spectacles
in
Europe
;
nay
,
not
for
all
the
Magnifying
Gim-Cracks
in
Africa
;
for
I
have
got
me
the
Cleverest
,
Prettiest
,
Handsomest
,
Properest
,
Neatest
,
Tightest
,
Honestest
,
and
Soberest
piece
of
Woman's
Flesh
for
my
Wife
,
that
is
in
all
the
whole
Country
of
Xaintonge
,
I
'll
say
that
for
her
,
and
a
Fart
for
all
the
rest
.
I
bring
her
home
a
fine
and
eleven
inch
long
branch
of
Red
Coral
,
for
her
Christmass-Box
,
what
hast
thou
to
do
with
it
?
What
's
that
to
thee
?
Who
art
thou
?
Whence
comest
thou
,
O
dark
Lanthorn
of
Antichrist
?
Answer
if
thou
art
of
God
?
I
ask
thee
,
by
the
way
of
Question
,
said
Panurge
to
him
very
seriously
,
if
with
the
Consent
and
Countenance
of
all
the
Elements
,
I
had
Gingumbob'd
,
Codpiec'd
,
and
Thumpthumpriggledtickledtwid●'d

Clever

so

so
Neat
,
so
Tight
,
so
Honest
,
and
so
Sober
Female
Importance
,
insomuch
,
that
the
Stiff
Deity
that
has
no
fore-cast
,
Priapus
,
(
who
dwells
here
at
Liberty
,
all
Subjection
of
fastened
Codpieces
or
Bolts
,
Bars
,
and
Locks
,
Abdicated
)
remain'd
sticking
in
her
Natural
Christmass-Box
in
such
a
lamentable
manner
,
that
it
were
never
to
come
out
,
but
Eternally
should
stick
there
,
unless
thou
didst
pull
it
out
with
thy
Teeth
;
what
wouldst
thou
do
?
Wouldst
thou
everlastingly
leave
it
there
,
or
wouldst
thou
pluck
it
out
with
thy
Grinders
?
Answer
me
,
O
thou
Ram
of
Mahomet
,
since
thou
art
one
of
the
Devil
's
Gang.
I
would
,
reply'd
the
Sheep-Monger
,
take
thee
such
a
woundy
cut
on
this
Spectacle-bearing
Lug
of
thine
,
with
my
trusty
Bilbo
,
as
would
smite
thee
dead
as
a
Herring
.
Thus
having
taken
Pepper
in
the
Nose
,
he
was
lugging
out
Sword
;
but
alas
,
Curs'd
Cows
have
short
Horns
,
it
stuck
in
the
Scabbard
;
as
you
know
that
at
Sea
,
cold
Iron
will
easily
take
rust
,
by
reason
of
the
excessive
and
Nitrous
moistness
.
Panurge
so
smitten
with
Terror
,
that
his
Heart
su●k
down
to
his
Midriff
,
scower'd
off
to
Pantagruel
for
help
:
But
Fryar
Jhon
laid
hand
on
his
slashing
Scymiter
that
was
new
ground
,
and
would
certainly
have
dispatch'd
Dingdong
to
rights
,
had
not
the
Skipper
and
some
of
his
Passengers
beseech'd
Pantagruel
not
to
suffer
such
an
out
rage
to
be
committed
on
Board
his
Ship
.
So
the
matter
was
made
up
,
and
Panurge
and
his
Antagonist
shak'd
Fists
,
and
drank
in
course
to
one
another
,
in
token
of
a
perfect
Reconciliation
.
CHAP.
VI.
How
the
Fray
being
over
,
Panurge
Cheapened
one
of
Dingdong's
Sheep
.
THis
Quarrel
being
hush'd
,
Panurge
tipp'd
the
wink
upon
Epistemon
and
Friar
Jhon
,
and
taking
them
aside
;
Stand
at
some
distance
out
of
the
way
,
said
he
,
and
take
your
share
of
the
following
Scene
of
Mirth
;
you
shall
have
rare
sport
anon
,
if
my
Cake
ben't
Dough
,
and
my
Plot
do
but
take
.
Then
addressing
himself
to
the
Drover
,
he
took
off
to
him
a
Bumper
of
good
Lantern
Wine
.
The
other
pledg'd
him
briskly
and
courteously
.
This
done
,
Panurge
earnestly
entreated
him
to
sell
him
one
of
his
Sheep
:
But
the
other
answered
him
,
Is
it
come
to
that
,
Friend
and
Neighbour
,
would
you
put
tricks
upon
Travellers
?
Alas
,
how
finely
you
love
to
play
upon
poor
Folk
!
Nay
,
you
seem
a
rare
Chapman
,
that
's
the
truth
on
't
.
Oh
what
a
mighty
Sheep-Merchant
you
are
!
In
good
faith
you
look
liker
one
of
the
Diving
Trade
than
a
buyer
of
Sheep
.
Adzookers
,
what
a
Blessing
it
would
be
to
have
ones
Purse
well
lin'd
with
Chink
near
your
Worship
at
a
Tripe-House
when
it
begins
to
thaw
!
Humph
,
Humph
,
did
not
we
know
you
well
,
you
might
serve
one
a
slippery
trick
!
Pray
do
but
see
,
good
People
,
what
a
mighty
Conjurer
the
fellow
would
be
reckon'd
.
Patience
,
said
Panurge
;
but
waving
that
,
be
so
kind
as
to
sell
me
one
of
your
Sheep
,
come
,
how
much
?
What
do
you
mean
,
Master
of
mine
,
answered
the
other
?
They
are
long
Wool
Sheep
,
from
these
did
Jason
take
his
Golden
Fleece
.
The
Gold
of
the
House
of
Burgundy
was
drawn
from
them
.
Zwoons
,
Man
,
they
are
Oriental
Sheep
,
Topping
Sheep
,
Fatted
Sheep
,
Sheep
of
Quality
.
Be
it
so
,
said
Panurge
,
but
sell
me
one
of
them
,
I
beseech
you
,
and
that
for
a
cause
,
paying
you
ready
Money
upon
the
Nail
,
in
good
and
lawful
Occidental
Currant
Cash
;
wilt
say
how
much
?
Friend
,
Neighbour
,
answered
the
Seller
of
Mutton
,
hark'e
me
a
little
,
on
the
other
Ear.
Panurge
.
On
which
side
you
please
;
I
hear
you
.
Dingdong
.
You
are
a
going
to
Lantern-Land
,
they
say
.
Panurge
.
Yea
verily
.
Ding
.
To
See
Fashions
?
Panurge
.
Even
so
.
Ding
.
And
be
Merry
?
Panurge
.
And
be
Merry
.
Ding
.
Your
Name
is
as
I
take
it
,
Robin
Mutton
?
Panurge
.
As
you
please
for
that
,
sweet
Sir
.
Ding
.
Nay
,
without
offence
.
Panurge
.
So
I
would
have
it
.
Ding
.
You
are
,
as
I
take
it
,
the
King's
Jester
,
are
n't
you
?
Panurge
.
Ay
,
ay
,
any
thing
.
Ding
.
Give
me
your
Hand
,
—
humph
,
humph
,
you
go
to
see
Fashions
,
you
are
the
King's
Jester
,
your
Name
is
Robin
Mutton
!
Do
you
see
this
same
Ram
?
His
Name
too
is
Robin
.
Here
Robin
,
Robin
,
Robin
?
Baea
,
Baea
,
Baea
,
hath
he
not
a
rare
Voice
?
Panurge
.
Ay
marry
has
he
,
a
very
fine
and
harmonious
Voice
.
Ding
.
Well
,
this
bargain
shall
be
made
between
you
and
me
,
Friend
,
and
Neighbour
,
we
will
get
a
pair
of
Scales
,
then
you
Robin
Mutton
shall
be
put
into
one
of
them
,
and
Tup
Robin
into
the
other
.
Now
I
'll
hold
you
a
Peck
of
Busch
Oysters
,
that
in
Weight
,
Value
,
and
Price
,
he
shall
outdo
you
,
and
you
shall
be
found
light
in
the
very
numerical
manner
,
as
when
you
shall
be
Hang'd
and
Suspended
.
Patience
,
said
Panurge
,
but
you
would
do
〈…〉
your
who●e
Posterity
,
if
you
would
Chaster
with
me
for
him
,
or
some
other
of
his
Inferiors
.
I
beg
it
of
you
;
good
your
Worship
,
be
so
kind
.
Hark'e
,
Friend
of
mine
,
answered
the
other
,
with
the
Fleece
of
these
your
fine
Roan
Cloth
is
to
be
made
,
your
Lemster
superfine
Wooll
is
mine
A●se
to
't
;
meer
Flock
in

:
Of
their
Skin
the
best
Cordivant
will
be
made
,
which
shall
be
sold
for
Turky
and
Montel●mart
,
or
for
Spanish
Leather
at
least
.
Of
the
Guts
shall
be
made
Fiddle
and
Harp
Strings
,
that
will
sell
as
dear
as
if
they
came
from
Munican
or
Aquileia
.
What
do
you
think
on
't
,
hah
?
If
you
please
,
sell
me
one
of
them
,
said
Panurge
,
and
I
am
yours
for
ever
.
Look
,
here
's
ready
Cash
.
What
's
the
Price
?
This
he
said
,
exhibiting
his
Purse
stuffed
with
new
Henricuses
.
CHAP.
VII
.
Which
if
you
read
,
you
'll
find
how
Panurge
bargain'd
with
Dingdong
.
NEighbour
,
my
friend
,
answer'd
Ding-dong
,
they
are
meat
for
none
but
Kings
and
Princes
;
their
Flesh
is
so
delicate
,
so
Savory
,
and
so
dainty
,
that
One
would
swear
,
it
melted
in
the
Mouth
.
I
bring
them
out
of
a
Country
where
the
very
Hogs
,
God
be
with
us
,
live
on
nothing
but
mirabolans
.
The
Sows
in
their
Styes
when
they
ly
in
,
(
saving
the
honour
of
this
good
Company
)
are
fed
only
with
Orange
Flowers
.
But
,
said
Panurge
,
drive
a
Bargain
with
me
for
one
of
them
,
and
I
will
pay
you
for
't
like
a
King
,
upon
the
honest
Word
of
a
true
Trojan
:
come
come
,
what
do
you
ask
?
Not
so
fast
,
Robin
,
answer'd
the
Trader
,
these
Sheep
are
lineally
descended
from
the
very
family
of
the
Ram
that
wafted
Phrixus
and
Helle
over
the
Sea
,
since
call'd
the
Hellespont
.
A
Pox
on
't
,
said
Panurge
,
you
are
Clericus
vel
addiscens
!
Ita
is
a
Cabbage
,
and
Verè
a
Leek
,
answered
the
Merchant
.
But
rr
,
rrr
,
rrrr
,
rrrrr
,
hoh
Robin
,
rr
,
rrrrrrr
,
you
don't
understand
that
Gibberish
,
do
you
?
Now
I
think
on
't
,
over
all
the
fields
,
where
they
piss
,
Corn
grows
as
fast
as
if
the
Lord
had
piss'd
there
;
they
need
neither
be
till'd
,
nor
dung'd
.
Besides
,
Man
,
your
Chymists
extract
the
best
Saltpeter
in
the
World
out
of
their
Urin
:
nay
with
their
very
Dung
(
with
reverence
be
it
spoken
,
)
the
Doctors
in
our
Country
make
Pills
that
cure
seventy
eight
kinds
of
Diseases
,
the
least
of
which
is
the
Evil
of
St.
Eutropius
of
Xaintes
,
from
which
good
Lord
deliver
us
!
Now
what
do
you
think
on
't
,
Neighbour
,
my
Friend
?
The
truth
is
,
they
cost
me
money
,
that
they
do
!
Cost
what
they
will
,
cry'd
Panurge
,
trade
with
me
for
one
of
them
,
paying
you
well
.
Our
friend
,
quoth
the
quack-like
Sheep-man
,
do
but
mind
the
wonders
of
Nature
that
are
found
in
those
Animals
,
even
in
a
member
which
one
would
think
were
of
no
use
.
Take
me
but
these
horns
,
and
bray
them
a
little
with
an
Iron-pestle
,
or
with
an
Andiron
,
which
you
please
,
't
is
all
one
to
me
;
then
bury
them
whereever
you
will
,
provided
it
be
where
the
Sun
may
shine
,
and
water
them
frequently
;
in
a
few
months
I●le
engage
you
will
have
the
best
Asparagus
in
the
World
,
not
even
excepting
those
of
Ravenna
.
Now
come
and
tell
me
whether
the
horns
of
you
other
Knights
of
the
Bulls
Feather
,
have
such
a
virtue
and
wonderful
propriety
?
Patience
,
said
Panurge
.
I
don't
know
whether
you
be
a
Scholar
or
no
,
pursued
Ding-dong
:
I
have
seen
a
World
of
Scholars
,
I
say
great
Scholars
that
were
cuckolds
,
I
'le
assure
you
.
But
hark
you
me
,
if
you
were
a
Scholar
,
you
should
know
that
in
the
most
inferiour
members
of
those
Animals
(
which
are
the
feet
,
)
there
is
a
bone
(
which
is
the
heel
)
the
Astragalus
,
if
you
will
have
it
so
,
wherewith
,
and
with
that
of
no
other
Creature
breathing
,
except
the
Indian
Ass
,
and
the
Dorcades
of
Libya
,
they
us'd
in
old
times
to
play
at
the
Royal
game
of
Dice
,
whereat
Augustus
the
Emperour
won
above
fifty
thousand
Crowns
one
Evening
.
Now
such
Cuckolds
as
you
will
be
hang'd
e're
you
get
half
so
much
at
it
.
Patience
,
said
Panurge
,
but
let
us
dispatch
.
And
when
,
my
Friend
and
Neighbour
,
continu'd
the
canting
Sheep-seller
,
shall
I
have
duely
prais'd
the
inward
Members
,
the
Shoulders
,
the
Legs
,
the
Knuckles
,
the
Neck
,
the
Breast
,
the
Liver
,
the
Spleen
,
the
Tripes
,
the
Kidneys
,
the
Bladder
,
wherewith
they
make
Foot-balls
,
the
Ribs
,
which
serve
in
Pigmy-land
to
make
little
Cross-bows
to
pelt
the
Cranes
with
Cherry-stones
,
the
Head
which
with
a
little
Brimstone
serves
to
make
a
miraculous
decoction
to
loosen
and
ease
the
belly
of
costive
Dogs
.
A
Turd
on
't
,
said
the
Skipper
to
his
preaching
Passinger
,
what
a
fidle
fadle
have
we
here
?
There
is
too
long
a
Lecture
by
half
,
sell
him
one
if
thou
wilt
;
if
thou
won't
,
don't
let
the
Man
lose
more
time
.
I
hate
a
gibble
gabble
and
a
rimble
ramble
Talk
,
I
am
for
a
Man
of
Brevity
.
I
will
for
your
sake
,
reply'd
the
Holder-forth
:
but
then
he
shall
give
me
three
Livers
French
Money
for
each
,
and
pick
and
chuse
.
'T
is
a
woundy
Price
,
cry'd
Panurge
,
in
our
Country
I
could
have
five
,
nay
six
for
the
Money
;
see
that
you
do
not
overreach
me
,
Master
.
You
are
not
the
first
Man
whom
I
have
known
,
to
have
fallen
,
even
sometime
to
the
indangering
,
if
not
breaking
of
his
own
Neck
,
for
endeavouring
to
rise
all
at
once
.
A
Murrain
seize
thee
for
a
blockheaded
Booby
,
cry'd
the
angry
seller
of
Sheep
;
by
the
worthy
vow
of
our
Lady
of
Charroux
:
the
worst
in
this
Flock
is
four
times
better
than
those
which
the
Coraxians
in
Tuitania
,
a
Country
of
Spain
,
us'd
to
sell
for
a
Gold
Talent
each
;
and
how
much
dos'st
thou
think
,
thou
Hyberinan
Fool
,
that
a
Talent
of
Gold
was
worth
?
Sweet
Sir
,
you
fall
into
a
Passion
I
see
,
return'd
Panurge
:
Well
hold
,
here
is
your
Money
.
Panurge
having
paid
his
Money
,
chose
him
out
of
all
the
Flock
a
fine
topping
Ram
,
and
as
he
was
hawling
it
along
crying
out
and
bleating
,
all
the
rest
hearing
and
bleating
in
Consort
star'd
,
to
see
whither
their
brother-Ram
should
be
carried
.
In
the
mean
while
the
Drover
was
saying
to
his
Shepherds
:
Ah!
How
well
the
Knave
could
chuse
him
out
a
Ram
,
the
whoreson
has
skill
in
Cattle
;
on
my
honest
Word
I
reserv'd
that
very
piece
of
Flesh
,
for
the
Lord
of
Cancale
,
well
knowing
his
disposition
;
for
the
good
Man
naturally
is
overjoy'd
when
he
holds
a
good
siz'd
handsom
shoulder
of
Mutton
,
in
stead
of
a
left-handed
racket
in
one
hand
,
with
a
good
sharp
Carver
in
the
other
;
got
wot
how
he
belabours
himself

CHAP.

How
Panurge
caus'd
Dingdong
and
his
Sheep
to
be
drowned
in
the
Sea
.
ON
a
Sudden
,
you
would
wonder
how
the
thing
was
so
soon
done
;
for
my
Part
I
can't
tell
you
,
for
I
had
not
leisure
to
mind
it
;
our
friend
Panurge
without
any
further
tittle
tattle
,
throws
you
his
Ram
over
board
into
the
middle
of
the
Sea
bleating
and
making
a
sad
noise
.
Upon
this
all
the
other
Sheep
in
the
Ship
crying
and
bleating
in
the
same
tone
,
made
all
the
hast
they
could
to
leap
nimbly
into
the
Sea
one
after
another
,
and
great
was
the
throng
who
should
leap
in
first
after
their
Leader
.
It
was
impossible
to
hinder
them
;
for
you
know
that
it
is
the
Nature
of
Sheep
always
to
follow
the
first
,
wheresoever
it
goes
;
which
makes
Aristotle

animal
.
mark
them
for
the
most
silly
and
foolish
Animals
in
the
World
.
Dingdong
at
his
wit's
End
,
and
stark
staring
Mad
like
a
Man
who
saw
his
Sheep
destroy
and
drown
themselves
before
his
Face
,
strove
to
hinder
and
keep
them
back
with
might
and
main
,
but
all
in
vain
;
they
all
one
after
t'other
f●isk'd
and
jump'd
into
the
Sea
,
and
were
lost
:
At
last
he
laid
hold
on
a
huge
sturdy
one
by
the
fleece
upon
the
deck
of
the
Ship
,
hoping
to
keep
it
back
,
and
so
to
save
that
and
the
rest
;
but
the
Ram
was
so
strong
that
it
proved
too
hard
for
him
,
and
carried
its
Master
into
the
Herring-Pond
,
in
spight
of
his
Teeth
;
where
't
is
supposed
he
drank
somewhat
more
than
his
Fill
:
So
that
he
was
drowned
,
in
the
same
manner
,
as
one
eyed
Polyphemus's
Sheep
carried
out
of
the
Den
Vlysses
and
his
Companions
:
The
like
happen'd
to
the
Shepherds
and
all
their
gang
,
some
laying
hold
on
their
beloved
Tup
,
this
by
the
horns
,
t'other
by
the
Legs
,
a
third
by
the
Rump
,
and
others
by
the
fleece
;
till
in
fine
they
were
all
of
them
forc'd
to
Sea
,
and
drowned
like
so
many
Rats
.
Panurge
on
the
gunnel
of
the
Ship
with
an
Oar
in
his
hand
,
not
to
help
them
,
you
may
swear
,
but
to
keep
them
from
swimming
to
the
Ship
,
and
saving
themselves
from
drowning
,
preach'd
and
canted
to
them
all
the
while
like
any
little
Fryar
Maillard
,
or
another
Fryar
John
Burgess
,
laying
before
them
Rhetorical
common
places
concerning
the
miseries
of
this
Life
,
and
the
blessings
and
felicity
of
the
next
;
assuring
them
that
the
Dead
were
much
happier
than
the
Living
in
this
vale
of
misery
,
and
promising
to
erect
a
stately
Cenotaphe
and
Honorary
Tomb
to
every
one
of
them
on
the
highest
Summit
of
Mount
Cenis
at
his
return
from
Lantern
land
;
wishing
them
nevertheless
,
in
case
they
were
not
yet
dispos'd
to
shake
hands
with
this
Life
,
and
did
not
like
their
salt
Liquor
,
they
might
have
the
good
luck
to
meet
with
some
kind
Whale
which
might
set
them
ashore
safe
and
sound
,
on
some
bless'd
Land
of
Gotham
after
a
famous
example
.
The
Ship
being
clear'd
of
Dingdong
and
his
Tups
:
Is
there
ever
another
sheepish
Soul
left
lurking
on
board
,
cryed
Panurge
?
where
are
those
of
Toby
Lamb
,
and
Robin
Ram
that
sleep
whilst
the
rest
are
a
feeding
?
Faith
I
can't
tell
my self
.
This
was
an
old
coaster's
Trick
:
What
think'st
thou
of
it
,
Fryar
Ihon
;
hah
?
Rarely
perform'd
,
answer'd
Fryar
Ihon
,
only
methinks
that
as
formerly
in
War
on
the
day
of
Battle
,
a
double
Pay
was
commonly
promis'd
the
Soldiers
for
that
Day
;
for
if
they
overcame
,
there
was
enough
to
pay
them
;
and
if
they
lost
,
it
would
have
been
shameful
for
them
to
demand
it
,
as
the
cowardly
Foresters
did
after
the
Battle
of
Cerizoles
:
Likewise
,
my
Friend
,
you
ought
not
to
have
paid
your
Man
,
and
the
Mony
▪
had
been
sav'd
.
A
Fart
for
the
Money
,
said
Panurge
,
have
I
not
had
above
fifty
thousand
pounds
worth
of
sport
?
Come
now
,
let
's
begon
,
the
Wind
is
fair
,
hark
you
me
,
my
Friend
Ihon
,
Never
did
Man
do
me
a
good
Turn
but
I
return'd
or
at
least
acknowledg'd
it
:
No
,
I
scorn
to
be
ungrateful
,
I
never
was
,
nor
ever
will
be
:
Never
did
Man
do
me
an
ill
one
without
rueing
the
Day
that
he
did
it
,
either
in
this
World
or
the
next
.
I
am
not
yet
so
much
a
fool
neither
.
Thou
damn'st
thy self
like
any
old
Devill
,
quoth
Fryar
Ihon
,
It

written
Mihi

CHAP.

How
Pantagruel
Arrived
at
the
Island
of
Ennasin
,
and
of
the
strange
ways
of
being
akin
in
that
Country
.
WE
had
still
the
Wind
at
South
South
West
,
and
had
been
a
whole
day
without
making
Land
.
On
the
third
day
at
the
Flyes
up-rising
,
which
,
you
know
,
is
some
two
or
three
hours
after
the
Sun's
,
we
got
sight
of
a
Triangular
Island
very
much
like
Sicily
for
its
Form
and
Situation
.
It
was
called
the
Island
of
Alliances
.
The
People
there
are
much
like
your
Carrot-pated
Poitevins
,
save
only
that
all
of
them
,
Men
,
Women
,
and
Children
,
have
their
Noses
shap'd
like
an
Ace
of
Clubs
.
For
that
reason
the
ancient
Name
of
the
Country
was
Ennasin
.
They
were
all
akin
,
as
the
Mayor
of
the
place
told
us
,
at
least
they
boasted
so
.
You
People
of
the
other
World
,
esteem
it
a
wonderful
thing
,
that
,
out
of
the
Family
of
the
Fabii
at
Rome
,
on
a
certain
day
,
which
was
the
13th
of
February
,
at
a
certain
Gate
,
which
was
the
Porta
Carmentalis
,
since
nam'd
Scelerata
,
formerly
situated
at
the
foot
of
the
Capitol
,
between
the
Tarpeian
Rock
and
the
Tyber
,
March'd
out
against
the
Veientes
of
Etruria
,
three
hundred
and
six
Men
bearing
Arms
,
all
related
to
each
other
,
with
five
thousand
other
Soldiers
every
one
of
them
their
Vassals
,
who
were
all
slain
near
the
River
Cremera
that
comes
out
of
the
Lake
of
Beccano
.
Now
from
this
same
Country
of
Ennasin
in
case
of
need
,
above
three
hundred
thousand
all
Relations
,
and
of
one
Family
,
might
March
out
.
Their
degrees
of
Consanguinity
and
Alliance
are
very
strange
,
for
being
thus
akin
and
allied
to
one
another
,
we
found
that
none
was
either
Father
or
Mother
,
Brother
or
Sister
,
Uncle
or
Aunt
,
Nephew
or
Neece
,
Son-in-Law
or
Daughter-in-Law
,
God-Father
or
God-Mother
to
the
other
,
unless
truly
,
a
tall
flat-nos'd
old
fellow
,
who
,
as
I
perceiv'd
,
call'd
a
little
shitten-ars'd
Girl
of
three
or
four
years
old
,
Father
,
and
the
Child
call'd
him
Daughter
.
Their
distinction
of
degrees
of
Kindred
was
thus
,
a
Man
us'd
to
call
a
Woman
my
Lean
Bit
▪
the
Woman
call'd
him
my
Porpus
.
Those
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
,
must
needs
stink
damnably
of
Fish
,
when
they
have
rub'd
their
Bacon
one
with
t'other
.
One
smiling
on
a
young
bucksom
Baggage
,
said
,
good
morrow
dear
Curry-Comb
:
she
to
return
him
his
Civility
,
said
,
the
like
to
you
my
Steed
.
Hah
!
Hah
!
Hah
!
said
Panurge
,
that
's
pretty
well
i'faith
,
for
indeed
it
stands
her
in
good
stead
to
Curry-comb
this
Steed
.
Another
greeted
his
Buttock
with
a
farewel
,
my
Case
:
she
reply'd
,
adieu
Tryal
.
By
St.
Winifred
●s
Placket
,
cry'd
Gymnast
,
this
Case
has
been
often
try'd
.
Another
ask'd
a
she
Friend
of
his
,
how
is
't
,
Hatchet
?
she
answer'd
him
,
at
your
service
,
dear
Helve
.
Odds
Belly
,
saith
Carpalin
,
this
Helve
and
this
Hatchet
are
well
march'd
.
As
we
went
on
,
I
saw
one
who
,
calling
his
she
Relation
,
styl'd
her
my
Crum
,
and
she
call'd
him
my
Crust
.
Quoth
one
to
a
brisk
,
plump
,
juicy
Female
,
I
am
glad
to
see
you
,
dear
Tap
:
so
am
I
to
find
you
so
merry
,
sweet
Spiggot
,
reply'd
she
.
One
call'd
a
Wench
his
Shovel
,
she
call'd
him
her
Peal
.
One
nam'd
his
,
my
Slipper
,
and
she
him
,
my
Foot
.
Another
my
Boot
,
she
my
Shasoon
.
In
the
same
degree
of
Kindred
,
one
call'd
his
,
my
Butter
,
she
call'd
him
,
my
Eggs
,
and
they
were
akin
just
like
a
dish
of
Butter'd
Eggs.
I
heard
one
call
his
,
my
Tripe
,
and
she
him
,
my
●●ggot
.
Now
I
could
not
for
the
Hearts
Blood
of
me
pick
out
or
discover
what
Parentage
,
Alliance
,
Affinity
,
or
Consanguinity
was
between
them
,
with
reference
to
our
Custom
,
only
they
told
us
,
that
she
was
Faggots
Tripe
.
[
Tripe
de
Faggot
,
means
the
smallest
sticks
in
a
Faggot
.
]
Another
Complementing
his
Convenient
,
said
,
yours
,
my
Shell
;
she
reply'd
,
I
was
yours
before
,
sweet
Oyster
.
I
reckon
,
said
Carpalim
,
she
hath
gutted
his
Oyster
.
Another
long
shank'd
ugly
Rogue
mounted
on
a
pair
of
high-heel'd
Wooden
Slippers
,
meeting
a
strapping
,
fusty
squobb'd
Dowdy
,
says
he
to
her
,
how'st
my
Top
?
she
was
short
upon
him
,
and
arrogantly
reply'd
,
never
the
better
for
you
,
my
Whip
.
By
St.
Anthony's
Hog
,
said
Xenomanes
,
I
believe
so
,
for
how
can
this
Whip
be
sufficient
to
lash
this
Top.
A
College
Professor
well
provided
with
Cod
,
and
poudered
and
prink'd
up
,
having
a
while
discoursed
with
a
great
Lady
,
taking
his
leave
,
with
these
words
,
Thank
you
Sweet
Meat
;
she
cry'd
,
there
needs
no
thanks
,
Sower
Sauce
.
Saith
Pantagruel
,
this
is
not
altogether
incongruous
,
for
sweet
Meat
must
have
sower
Sawce
.
A
Wooden
Loggerhead
said
to
a
young
Wench
,
't
is
long
since
I
saw
you
Bag
,
all
the
better
,
cry'd
she
,
Pipe
.
Set
'em
together
,
said
Panurge
,
then
blow
in
their
Arses
,
't
will
be
a
Bag-pipe
.
We
saw
after
that
,
a
diminutive
hump-back'd
Gallant
,
pretty
near
us
,
taking
leave
of
a
she
Relation
of
his
,
thus
,
Fare
thee
well
,
Friend
Hole
;
she
repartee'd
,
save
thee
,
Friend
Peg.
Quoth
Fryar
Jhon
,
what
could
they
say
more
,
were
he
all
Peg
and
she
all
Hole
:
But
now
would
I
give
something
to
know
if
every
Crany
of
the
Hole
can
be
stop'd
up
with
that
same
Peg.
A
baudy
Batchelor
talking
with
an
old
Trout
,
was
saying
,
remember
it
,
Rusty
Gun
.
I
won't
fail
,
said
she
,
Scowrer
.
Do
you
reckon
these
two
to
be
akin
,
said
Pantagruel
to
the
Mayor
?
I
rather
take
them
to
be
Foes
;
in
our
Country
a
Woman
would
take
this
as
a
mortal
affront
.
Good
People
of
t'other
World
,
reply'd
the
Mayor
,
you
have
few
such
and
so
near
Relations
as
this
Gun
and
Scowerer
are
to
one
another
;
for
they
both
came
out
of
one
Shop
.
What
,
was
the
Shop
their
Mother
,
quoth
Panurge
?
What
Mother
said
the
Mayor
,
does
the
Man
mean
?
That
must
be
some
of
your
Worlds
Affinity
;
we
have
here
neither
Father
nor
Mother
:
Your
little
paultry
fellows
that
live
on
t'other
side
the
Water
,
poor
Rogues
,
Booted
with
wisps
of
Hay
,
may
indeed
have
such
,
but
we
scorn
it
.
The
good
Pantagruel
stood
gazing
and
listning
,
but
at
those
words
he
had
like
to
have
lost
all
Patience
;
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉

M.
Having
very
exactly
viewed
the
Situation
of
the
Island
,
and
the
way
of
living
of
the
Ennased
Nation
,
we
went
to
take
a
Cup
of
the
Creature
at
a
Tavern
where
there
happen'd
to
be
a
Wedding
after
the
manner
of
the
Country
,
bating
that
shocking
Custom
,
there
was
special
good
Chear
.
While
we
were
there
,
a
pleasant
Match
was
struck
up
bewixt
a
Female
call'd
Pear
(
a
tight
thing
as
we
thought
,
but
by
some
who
knew
better
things
,
said
to
be
quaggy
and
flabby
)
and
a
young
soft
Male
,
call'd
Cheese
,
somewhat
sandy
.
In
our
Country
indeed
we
say
,
Il
ne
fut
one
tel
marriage
,
qu'est
de
la
Poire
&
du
Fremage
,
There
's
no
Match
like
that
made
between
the
Pear
and
the
Cheese
;
and
in
many
other
places
good
store
of
such
Bargains
have
been
driven
.
Besides
,
when
the
Women
are
at
their
last
Prayers
,
't
is
to
this
day
a
noted
saying
,
That
after
Cheese
comes
nothing
.
In
another
Room
I
saw
them
marrying
an
old
greasy
Boot
to
a
young
pliable
Buskin
.
Pantagruel
was
told
,
that
young
Buskin
took
old
Boot
to
have
and
to
hold
,
because
she
was
of
special
Leather
,
in
good
case
and
wax'd
,
sear'd
,
liquor'd
and
greas'd
to
the
purpose
,
even
though
it
had
been
for
the
Fisherman
that
went
to
Bed
with
his
Boots
on
.
In
another
Room
below
I
saw
a
young
Brogue
taking
a
young
Slipper
for
better
for
worse
:
Which
,
they
told
us
,
was
neither
for
the
sake
of
her
Piety
,
Parts
,
or
Person
,
but
for
the
fourth
comprehensive
P.
Portion
;
the
Spankers
,
Spur
Royals
,
Rose-Nobles
,
and
other
Coriander
Seed
with
which
she
was
quilted
all
over
.
CHAP.
X.
How
Pantagruel
went
ashoar
at
the
Island
of
Chely
,
where
he
saw
King
St.
Panigon
.
WE
sail'd
right
before
the
Wind
which
we
had
at
West
,
leaving
those
odd
Alliancers
with
their
Ace
of
Clubs
Snouts
,
and
having
taken
height
by
the
Sun
,
stood
in
for
Chely
,
a
large
Fruitful
,
Wealthy
and
well
Peopled
Island
.
King
St.
Panigon
first
of
the
Name
Reign'd
there
,
and
attended
by
the
Princes
his
Sons
,
and
the
Nobles
of
his
Court
,
came
as
far
as
the
Port
to
receive
Pantagruel
,
and
conducted
him
to
his
Palace
,
near
the
Gate
of
which
,
the
Queen
attended
by
the
Princesses
her
Daughters
and
the
Court
Ladies
received
us
.
Panigon
directed
her
and
all
her
Retinue
to
salute
Pantagruel
and
his
Men
with
a
Kiss
;
for
such
was
the
Civil
Custom
of
the
Country
,
and
they
were
all
fairly
buss'd
accordingly
,
except
Fryar
Jhon
,
who
stept
aside
and
sneak'd
off
among
the
King's
Officers
.
Panigon
us'd
all
the
entreaties
imaginable
,
to
perswade
Pantagruel
to
tarry
there
that
day
and
the
next
,
but
he
would
needs
be
gone
,
and
excus'd
himself
upon
the
opportunity
of
Wind
and
Weather
,
which
being
oftener
desir'd
than
enjoy'd
,
ought
not
to
be
neglected
when
it
comes
.
Panigon
having
heard
these
reasons
,
let
us
go
,
but
first
made
us
take
off
some
five
and
twenty
or
thirty
Bumpers
each
.
Pantagruel
returning
to
the
Port
,
miss'd
Fryar
Jhon
,
and
ask'd
why
he
was
not
with
the
rest
of
the
Company
?
Panurge
could
not
tell
how
to
excuse
him
,
and
would
have
gone
back
to
the
Palace
to
call
him
,
when
Fryar
Jhon
overtook
them
,
and
merrily
cry'd
,
Long
live
the
Noble
Panigon
,
as
I
love
my
Belly
,
he
minds
good
Eating
,
and
keeps
a
Noble
House
,
and
a
dainty
Kitchin
;
I
have
been
there
,
Boys
,
every
thing
goes
about
by
dozens

the

are

,

better
than

why
all
this

?
I
don't
say
but
a
Man
might
be
for
a
bit
by
the
by
and
away
,
to
be
doing
as
well
as
his
Neighbours
;
but
this
little
nasty
Cringing
and
Curtising
made
me
as
mad
as
any
March
Devil
.
You
talk
of
kissing
Ladies
;
by
the
Worthy
and
Sacred
Frock
I
wear
,
I
seldom
venture
upon
't
,
lest
I
be
serv'd
as
was
the
Lord
of
Guyercharcis
.
What
was
it
?
said
Pantagruel
,
I
know
him
;
he
is
one
of
the
best
Friends
I
have
.
He
was
invited
to
a
Sumptuous
Feast
;
said
Fryar
Jhon
,
by
a
Relation
and
Neighbour
of
his
,
together
with
all
the
Gentlemen
and
Ladies
in
the
Neighbourhood
.
Now
some
of
the
latter
,
expecting
his
coming
,
drest
the
Pages
in
Womens
Cloths
,
and
finified
them
like
any
Babies
,
then
order'd
them
to
meet
my
Lord
at
his
coming
,
near
the
Draw-bridge
;
so
the
Complementing
Monsieur
came
,
and
there
kiss'd
the
Petticoated
Lads
with
great
formality
.
At
last
the
Ladies
who
minded
passages
in
the
Gallery
,
burst
out
with
laughing
,
and
made
signs
to
the
Pages
to
take
off
their
dress
;
which
the
good
Lord
having
observed
,
the
Devil
a
bit
he
durst
make
up
to
the
true
Ladies
to
kiss
them
,
but
said
,
That
since
they
had
disguis'd
the
Pages
,
by
his
Great
Grand-father's
Helmet
,
these
were
certainly
the
very
Foot-men
and
Grooms
still
more
cunningly
disguis'd
.

Why
Monks
love
to
be
in
Kitchins
.
THIS
,
said
Epistemon
,
is
spoke
like
a
true
Monk
I
mean
like
a
right
M●nking
Monk
,
not
a
bemonk'd
monastical
Monkling
.
Truly
you
put
me
in
mind
of
some
passages
that
happen'd
at
Florence
some
twenty
Years
ago
in
a
Company
of
studious
Travellers
,
fond
of
visiting
the
Learned
,
and
seeing
the
Antiquities
of
Italy
,
among
whom
I
was
.
As
we
view'd
the
situation
and
beauty
of
Florence
,
the
structure
of
the
Dome
,
the
Magnificence
of
the
Churches
,
and
Palaces
,
We
strove
to
outdo
one
another
in
giving
them
their
due
;
when
a
certain
Monk
of
Amiens
,
Bernard
Lardon
by
name
,
quite
angry
,
scandaliz'd
,
and
out
of
all
Patience
,
told
us
,
I
don't
know
what
the
Devill
you
can
find
in
this
same
Town
,
that
's
so
much
to
be
cry'd
up
;
For
my
Part
,
I
have
look't
and
por'd
and
stared
as
well
as
the
best
of
you
,
I
think
my
Eye
sight
's
as
clear
as
another
body's
,
and
what
can
one
see
after
all
?
There
are
fine
Houses
indeed
,
and
that
's
all
.
But
the
Cage
does
not
feed
the
Birds
:
God
and
Monsieur
St.
Bernard
our
good
Patron
be
with
us
,
in
all
this
same
Town
I
have
not
seen
one
poor
Lane
of
roasting
Cooks
,
and
yet
I
have
not
a
little
look'd
about
,
and
sought
for
so
necessary
a
part
of
a
Commonwealth
;
Ay
,
and
I
dare
assure
you
that
I
have
pry'd
up
and
down
with
the
exactness
of
an
Informer
;
as
ready
to
number
both
to
the
right
and
left
how
many
and
on
what
side
we
might
find
most
roasting
Cooks
,
as
a
Spy
would
be
to
reckon
the
Bastions
of
a
Town
:
Now
at
Amiens
,
in
four
,
nay
five
times
less
ground
than
we
have
trod
in
our
contemplations
,
I
could
have
shown
you
above
fourteen
Streets
of
roasting
Cooks
,
most
ancient
,
Savoury
,
and
Aromatic
.
I
can't
imagin
what
kind
of
pleasure
you
can
have
taken
in
gazing
on
the
Lyons
,
and
Africans
(
so
methinks
you
call
their
Tigers
)
near
the
Belfrey
,
or
in
ogling
the
Porcupines
and
Estridges
,
in
the
Lord
Philip
Strozzi's
Palace
.
Faith
and
Troth
,
I
had
rather
see
a
good
fat
Goose
at
the
Spit
.
This
Porphyry
,
those
Marbles
are
fine
:
I
say
nothing
to
the
contrary
,
but
our
Cheescakes
at
Amiens
are
far
better
in
my
mind
:
These
antient
Statues
are
well
made
;
I
am
willing
to
believe
it
;
but
by
St.
Ferreol
of
Abbeville
,
we
have
young
Wenches
in
our
Country
which
please
me
better
a
thousand
times
.
What
is
the
reason
,
ask'd
Fryar
Ihon
,
that
Monks
are
always
to
be
found
in
Kitchins
;
and
Kings
,
Emperours
and
Popes
are
never
there
?
Is
there
not
,
said
Rhizotome
,
some
latent
Vertue
and
specific
propriety
hid
in
the
Kettles
,
and
Pans
,
which
as
the
Load-stone
attracts
Iron
,
draws
the
Monks
there
,
and
cannot
attract
Emperors
,
Popes
,
or
Kings
?
or
is
it
a
natural
induction
and
inclination●
,
fix'd
in
the
frocks
and
cowles
,
which
of
it self
leads
and
forceth
those
good
Religious
Men
into
Kitchins
,
whether
they
will
or
no
?
He
would
speak
of
forms
following
matter
,
as
Averr●es
names
them
,
answer'd
Epistemon
:
Right
,
said
Fryar
Ihon.
I
'll
not
offer
to
solve
this
problem
,
said
Pantagruel
;
for
it
is
somewhat
ticklish
,
and
you
can
hardly
handle
it
without
coming
off
scurvily
,
but
I
'll
tell
you
what
I
have
heard
.
Antigonus
King
of
Macedon
one
day
coming
into
one
of
the
Tents
,
where
his
Cooks
use
to
dress
his
Meat
,
and
finding
there
Poet
Antagoras
frying
a
Conger
,
and
holding
the
pan
himself
,
merrily
ask'd
him
,
Pray
,
Mr.
Poet
,
was
Homer
frying
Congers
when
he
writ
the
Deeds
of
Agamemnon
?
Antagoras
readily
answer'd
;
But
do
you
think
,
Sir
,
that
when
Agamemnon
did
them
,
he
made
it
his
business
to
know
if
any
in
his
Camp
were
frying
Congers
?
The
King
thought
it
an
Indecency
that
a
Poet
should
be
thus
a
frying
in
a
Kitchin
;
and
the
Poet
let
the
King
know
that
it
was
a
more
indecent
thing
for
a
King
to
be
found
in
such
a
place
:
I
'll
clap
another
story
upon
the
Neck
of
this
,
quoth
Panurge
,
and
will
tell
you
what
Briton
Villandray
answer'd
one
day
to
the
Duke
of
Guise
.
They
were
saying
that
at
a
certain
Battle
of
King
Francis
against
Charles
the
Fifth
,
Briton
arm'd
Capape
to
the
Teeth
,
and
mounted
like
St.
George
;
yet
sneack'd
off
,
and
play'd
least
in
sight
during
the
Ingagement
.
Blood
and
Oons
,
answer'd
Briton
,
I
was
there
and
can
prove
it
easily
;
nay
,
even
where
▪
you
,
my
Lord
,
dar'd
not
have
been
.
The
Duke
began
to
resent
this
as
too
rash
and
sawcy
;
But
Briton
easily
appeas'd
him
,
and
set
them
all
a
laughing
.
I
gad
,
my
Lord
quoth
he
,
I
kept
out
of
harm's
way
;
I
was
all
the
while
with
your
Page
Jack
sculking
in
a
certain
place
where
you
had
not
dar'd
hide
your
head
as
I
did
.
Thus
discoursing
they
got
to
their
Ships
,
and
left
the
Island
of
Chely
.
CHAP.

How
Pantagruel
pass'd
by
the
Land
of
Petifogging
,
and
of
the
strange
way
of
living
among
the
Catchpoles
.
STeering
our
course
forwards
the
next
day
we
pass'd
by
Pettifogging
,
a
Country
all
blurr'd
and
blotted
,
so
that
I
could
hardly
tell
what
to
make
on
't
.
There
we
saw
some
Pettifoggers
and
Catchpoles
,
Rogues
that
will
hang
their
Father
for
a
Groat
.
They
neither
invited
us
to
eat
or
drink
,
but
with
a
multiplyed
train
of
scrapes
and
cringes
said
they
were
all
at
our
service
,
for
the
Legem
pone
.
One
of
our
Droggermen
related
to
Pantagruel
their
strange
way
of
living
,
diametrically
oppos'd
to
that
of
our
modern
Romans
:
for
at
Rome
a
world
of
Folks
get
an
honest
livelyhood
by
Poysoning
,
Drubbing
,
Lambasting
,
Stabbing
and
Murthering
;
but
the
Catchpoles
earn
theirs
by
being
Thrash'd
,
so
that
if
they
were
long
without
a
tight
Lambasting
,
the
poor
Dogs
with
their
Wives
and
Children
would
be
starv'd
.
This
is
just
,
quoth
Panurge
,
like
those
who
,
as
Galen
tells
us
,
cannot
erect
the
Cavernous
nerve
towards
the
Equinoctial
Circle
,
unless
they
are
soundly
flogg'd
.
By
St.
Patrick's
Slipper
,
who
ever
should
jirk
me
so
,
would
soon
in
stead
of
setting
me
right
,
throw
me
off
the
Saddle
,
in
the
Devils
Name
.
The
way
is
this
,
said
the
Interpreter
,
when
a
Monk
,
Levite
,
close
fisted
Usurer
or
Lawyer
owes
a
grudge
to
some
neighboring
Gentleman
,
he
sends
to
him
one
of
those
Catchpoles
or
Apparitors
,
who
nabs
,
or
at
least
cites
him
,
serves
a
Writ
or
Warrant
upon
him
;
thumps
,
abuses
and
affronts
him
impudently
by
natural
instinct
,
and
according
to
his
pious
instructions
;
in
so
much
that
if
the
Gentleman
hath
but
any
guts
in
his
Brains
,
and
is
not
more
Stupid
than
a
Girin
Frog
,
he
will
find
himself
oblig'd
either
to
apply
a
faggot-stick
or
his
sword
to
the
Rascal
's
Jobbornol
,
give
him
the
gentle
lash
,
or
make
him
cut
a
caper
out
at
the
Window
by
way
of
Correction
.
This
done
,
Catchpole
is
rich
for
four
Months
at
least
,
as
if
Bastinadoes
were
his
real
harvest
;
for
the
Monk
,
Levite
,
Usurer
or
Lawyer
will
reward
him
roundly
,
and
my
Gentleman
must
pay
him
such
swindging
damages
,
that
his
acres
may
bleed
for
't
,
and
he
be
in
danger
of
miserably
rotting
within
a
stone
Doublet
,
as
if
he
had
struck
the
King
.
Quoth
Panurge
,
I
know
an
excellent
remedy
against
this
;
us'd
by
the
Lord
of
Basché
;
what
is
it
?
said
Pantagruel
.
The
Lord
of
Basché
,
said
Panurge
,
was
a
brave
honest
noble-spirited
Gentleman
,
who
at
his
return
from
the
long
war
in
which
the
Duke
of
Ferrara
,
with
the
help
of
the
French
,
bravely
defended
himself
against
the
fury
of
Pope
Julius
the
II.
was
every
day
cited
,
warn'd
and
prosecuted
at
the
Suit
and
for
the
Sport
and
Fancy
of
the
fat
Prior
of
St.
Louant
.
One
morning
as
he
was
at
breakfast
with
some
of
his
Domestics
(
for
he
lov'd
to
be
sometimes
among
them
,
)
he
sent
for
one
Loir
his
Baker
and
his
Spouse
,
and
for
one
Oudart
the
Vicar
of
his
Parish
,
who
was
also
his
Butler
,
as
the
custome
was
then
in
France
;
then
said
to
them
before
his
Gentleman
and
other
Servants
:
You
all
see
how
I
am
daily
plagu'd
with
these
rascally
Catchpoles
,
truly
if
you
do
not
lend
me
your
helping
hand
,
I
am
finally
resolv'd
to
leave
the
Country
,
and
go
fight
for
the
Sultan
,
or
the
Devill
,
rather
than
be
thus
eternally
tees'd
.
Therefore
to
be
rid
of
their
damn'd
Visits
,
hereafter
,
when
any
of
them
come
here
,
be
ready
you
Baker
and
your
Wife
,
to
make
your
personal
appearance
in
my
great
Hall
in
your
wedding
Cloaths
,
as
if
you
were
going
to
be
affianc'd
;
here
take
these
Ducats
which
I
give
you
to
keep
you
in
a
fitting
Garb.
As
for
you
,
Sir
Oudart
,
be
sure
you
make
your
personal
appearance
there
in
your
fine
Surplice
and
Stole
,
not
forgetting
your
Holy
Water
,
as
if
you
were
to
wed
them
.
Be
you
there
also
,
Trudon
,
said
he
to
his
Drummer
,
with
your
Pipe
and
Taber
.
The
form
of
Matrimony
must
be
read
,
and
the
Bride
kiss'd
,
then
all
of
you
,
as
the
Witnesses
use
to
do
in
this
Country
,
shall
give
one
another
the
remembrance
of
the
Wedding
,
(
which
you
know
is
to
be
a
blow
with
your
Fist
,
bidding
the
Partie
struck
remember
the
Nuptials
by
that
token
)
this
will
but
make
you
have
the
better
Stomach
to
your
Supper
:
But
when
you
come
to
the
Catchpole's
turn
,
thrash
him
thrice
and
three
fold
,
as
you
would
a
Sheaf
of
green
Corn
,
don't
spare
him
,
maul
him
,
drub
him
,
lambast
him
,
swinge
him
off
,
I
pray
you
.
Here
take
these
Steel
Gantlets
covered
with
Kid
,
Head
,
Back
,
Belly
,
and
Sides
,
give
him
blows
innumerable
;
he
that
gives
him
most
,
shall
be
my
best
Friend
.
Fear
not
to
be
call'd
to
an
account
about
it
,
I
'll
stand
by
you
;
for
the
blows
must
seem
to
be
given
in
jest
,
as
it
is
Customary
among
us
at
all
Weddings
.
Ay
,
but
how
shall
we
know
the
Catchpole
,
said
the
Man
of
God
,
all
sorts
of
People
daily
resort
to
this
Castle
?
I
have
taken
care
of
that
,
reply'd
the
Lord
.
When
some
fellow
either
on
foot
or
on
a
scurvy
Jade
,
with
a
large
broad
Silver
Ring
on
his
Thumb
comes
to
the
door
,
he
is
certainly
a
Catchpole
:
The
Porter
having
civilly
let
him
in
,
shall
ring
the
Bell
,
then
be
all
ready
,
and
come
into
the
Hall
,
to
act
the
Tragi-Comedy
,
whose
Plot
I
have
now
laid
for
you
.
That
numerical
day
,
as
Chance
would
have
it
,
came
an
old
fat
ruddy
Catchpole
;
having
knock'd
at
the
Gate
,
and
then
piss'd
,
as
most
Men
will
do
,
the
Porter
soon
found
him
out
,
by
his
large
greasy
Spatterdashes
,
his
Jaded
hollow
flank'd
Mare
,
his
Bag
full
of
Writs
and
Informations
dangling
at
his
Girdle
,
but
above
all
,
by
the
large
Silver
hoop
on
his
left
Thumb
.
The
Porter
was
civil
to
him
,
admitted
him
in
kindly
,
and
rung
the
Bell
briskly
.
As
soon
as
the
Baker
and
his
Wife
heard
it
,
they
clapt
on
their
best
Clothes
,
and
made
their
personal
appearance
in
the
Hall
,
keeping
their
Gravities
like
a
new
made
Judge
.
The
Domine
put
on
his
Surplice
and
Stole
,
and
as
he
came
out
of
his
Office
,
met
the
Catchpole
,
had
him
in
there
,
and
made
him
suck
his
Face
a
good
while
,
while
the
Gantlets
were
drawing
on
all
hands
,
and
then
told
him
,
you
are
come
just
in
Pudding
time
,
my
Lord
is
in
his
right
Cue
;
we
shall
feast
like
Kings
anon
,
here
's
to
be
swindging
doings
,
we
have
a
Wedding
in
the
House
,
here
,
drink
and
cheer
up
,
pull
away
.
While
these
two
were
at
it
hand
to
fist
,
Basché
,
seeing
all
his
People
in
the
Hall
in
their
proper
Equipage
,
sends
for
the
Vicar
.
Oudart
comes
with
the
Holy
Water
Pot
,
follow'd
by
the
Catchpole
,
who
as
he
came
into
the
Hall
,
did
not
forget
to
make
good
store
or
aukward
Cringes
,
and
then
serv'd
Basché
with
a
Writ
.
Basché
gave
him
Grimace
for
Grimace
,
slipt
an
Angel
into
his
Mutton
Fist
,
and
pray'd
him
to
asist
at
the
Contract
and
Ceremony
.
Which
he
did
.
When
it
was
ended
,
Thumps
and
Fisticuffs
began
to
fly
about
among
the
Assistants
;
but
when
it
came
to
the
Catchpole's
turn
,
they
all
lay'd
on
him
so
unmercifully
with
their
Gantlets
,
that
they
at
last
settled
him
,
all
stunn'd
,
and
batter'd
,
bruis'd
and
mortify'd
,
with
one
of
his
Eyes
black
and
blue
,
eight
Ribs
bruis'd
,
his
Brisket
sunk
in
,
his
Omoplates
in
four
quarters
,
his
under
Jaw-bone
in
three
pieces
,
and
all
this
in
jest
and
no
harm
done
.
God
wot
how
the
Levite
belabour'd
him
,
hiding
within
the
long
Sleeve
of
his
Canonical
Shirt
,
his
huge
Steel
Gantlet
lin'd
with
Ermin
,
for
he
was
a
strong
built
Ball
,
and
an
old
Dog
at
Fisticuffs
.
The
Catchpole
all
of
a
Bloody
Tyger-like
hue
,
with
much
ado
,
crawl'd
home
to
l'Isle
Bouchart
,
well
pleas'd
and
edify'd
however
with
Basché
●s
kind
reception
,
and
with
the
help
of
the
good
Surgeons
of
the
place
,
liv'd
as
long
as
you
'd
have
him
.
From
that
time
to
this
not
a
word
of
the
business
;
the
memory
of
it
was
lost
with
the
sound
of
the
Bells
that
rung
for
Joy
at
his
Funeral
.
CHAP.

.
How
,
like
Master
Francis
Villon
,
the
Lord
of
Basché
commended
his
Servants
.
THe
Catchpole
being
pack'd
off
on
blind
Sorrel
(
so
he
call'd
his
one
Ey'd
Mare
)
Basché
sent
for
his
Lady
,
her
Women
and
all
his
Servants
into
the
Arbour
of
his
Garden
;
had
Wine
brought
,
attended
by
good
store
of
Pasties
,
Hams
,
Fruit
,
and
other
Table-Ammunition
for
a
Nuncion
,
drank
with
them
joyfully
,
and
then
told
them
this
Story
.
Master
Francis
Villon
in
his
old
Age
,
retir'd
to
St.
Maixent
in
Poitou
,
under
the
Patronage
of
a
good
honest
Abbot
of
the
place
.
There
to
make
sport
for
the
Mob
,
he
undertook
to
get
the
Passion
acted
after
the
way
and
in
the
Dialect
of
the
Country
.
The
parts
being
distributed
,
the
Play
having
been
rehears'd
,
and
the
Stage
prepar'd
,
he
told
the
Mayor
and
Aldermen
,
that
the
Mystery
might
be
ready
after
Niort
Fair
,
and
that
there
only
wanted
Properties
and
necessaries
,
but
chiefly
Clothes
fit
for
the
parts
;
so
the
Mayor
and
his
Brethren
took
care
to
get
them
.
Villon
,
to
dress
an
old
Clownish
Father
Grey
Beard
,
who
was
to
represent
God
the
Father
,
begg'd
of
Fryar
Stephen
Tickletoby
,
Sacristan
to
the
Franciscan
Fryars
of
the
place
,
to
lend
him
a
Cope
and
a
Stole
.
Tickletoby
refus'd
him
,
alledging
that
by
their
Provincial
Statutes
,
it
was
rigorously
forbidden
to
give
or
lend
any
thing
to
Players
▪
Villon
reply'd
,
That
the
Statute
reached
no
farther
than
Farces
,
Drolls
,
Anticks
,
loose
and
dissolute
Games
,
and
that
he
ask'd
no
more
than
what
he
had
seen
allow'd
at
Brussels
and
other
places
.
Tickletoby
,
notwithstanding
,
peremptorily
bid
him
provide
himself
elsewhere
if
he
would
,
and
not
to
hope
for
any
thing
out
of
his
Monastical
Wardrobe
.
Villon
gave
an
account
of
this
to
the
Players
,
as
of
a
most
abominable
action
,
adding
,
that
God
would
shortly
revenge
himself
,
and
make
an
example
of
Tickletoby
.
The
Saturday
following
he
had
notice
given
him
,
that
Tickletoby
upon
the
Filly
of
the
Convent
(
so
they
call
a
young
Mare
that
was
never
leap'd
yet
)
was
gone
a
Mumping
to
St.
Ligarius
,
and
would
be
back
about
two
in
the
afternoon
.
Knowing
this
,
he
made
a
Cavalcade
of
his
Devils
of
the
Passion
through
the
Town
.
They
were
all
rigg'd
with
Wolves
,
Calves
,
and
Rams
Skins
,
lac'd
and
trim'd
with
Sheeps
Heads
,
Bulls
Feathers
,
and
large
Kitchin
Tenter-Hooks
,
girt
with
broad
Leathern
Girdles
,
whereat
hang'd
dangling
huge
Cow
Bells
and
Horse
Bells
which
made
a
horrid
din.
Some
held
in
their
Claws
black
Sticks
full
of
Squibs
and
Crackers
,
others
had
long
lighted
pieces
of
wood
,
upon
which
at
the
corner
of
every
street
they
flung
whole
handfuls
of
Rosin
dust
,
that
made
a
terrible
fire
and
smoak
:
having
thus
led
them
about
,
to
the
great
diversion
of
the
Mob
,
and
the
dreadful
fear
of
little
Children
,
he
finally
carried
them
to
an
entertainment
at
a
Summer-House
without
the
Gate
that
leads
to
St.
Ligarius
.
As
they
came
near
the
place
,
he
spy'd
Tickletoby
afar
off
,
coming
home
from
Mumping
,
and
told
them
in
Maceronic
Verse
,
Hic
est
Mumpator

Cucowli
,
Qui

bisacco
.
A
Plague
on
his
Fryarship
(
said
the
Devils
then
)
the
lowsy
Beggar
would
not
lend
a
poor
Cope
to
the
Fatherly
Father
,
let
us
fright
him
.
Well
said
,
cry'd
Villon
;
but
let
us
hide
our selves
till
he
comes
by
,
and
then
change
home
briskly
with
your
Squibs
and
burning
Sticks
.
Tickletoby
being
come
to
the
place
,
they
all
rush'd
on
a
sudden
into
the
Road
to
meet
him
,
and
in
a
frightful
manner
threw
fire
from
all
sides
upon
him
and
his
Filly
Foal
,
ringing
and
tingling
their
Bells
,
and
howling
like
so
many
real
Devils

Fryar
Stephen
,
don't
we
play
the
Devils
rarely
?
The
Filly
was
soon
scar'd
out
of
her
seven
Senses
,
and
began
to
start
,
to
funk
it
,
to
squirt
it
,
to
trot
it
,
to
fart
it
,
to
bound
it
,
to
gallop
it
,
to
kick
it
,
to
spurn
it
,
to
calcitrate
it
,
to
winse
it
,
to
frisk
it
,
to
leap
it
,
to
curvet
it
,
with
double
Jirks
,
and
bum-motions
;
in
so
much
that
she
threw
down
Tickletoby
,
tho'
he
held
fast
by
the
Tree
of
the
Pack-Saddle
with
might
and
main
:
now
his
Straps
and
Stirrups
were
of
Cord
,
and
on
the
right
side
,
his
Sandal
was
so
entangled
and
twisted
,
that
he
could
not
for
the
Hearts
blood
of
him
get
out
his
foot
.
Thus
he
was
dragg'd
about
by
the
Filly
through
the
Road
,
scratching
his
bare
Breech
all
the
way
,
she
still
multiplying
her
kicks
against
him
,
and
straying
for
fear
,
over
Hedge
and
Ditch
;
in
so
much
that
she
trepan'd
his
thick
Skull
so
,
that
his
Cockle
Brains
were
dash'd
out
near
the
Osanna
or
High
Cross
.
Then
his
Arms
fell
to
pieces
,
one
this
way
,
and
t'other
that
way
,
and
even
so
were
his
Legs
serv'd
at
the
same
time
:
Then
she
made
a
bloody
havock
with
his
Puddings
,
and
being
got
to
the
Convent
,
brought
back
only
his
right
Foot
and
twisted
Sandal
,
leaving
them
to
guess
what
was
become
of
the
rest
.
Villon
seeing
that
things
had
succeded
as
he
intended
,
said
to
his
Devils
,
you
will
Act
rarely
,
Gentlemen
Devils
,
you
will
Act
rarely
;
I
dare
engage
you
'll
top
your
Parts
.
I
defie
the
Devils
of
Saumur
,
Douay
,
Montmorillon
,
Langez
,
St.
Espain
,
Angers
;
nay
,
by
Gad
,
even
those
of
Poictiers
,
for
all
their
bragging
and
vapouring
,
to
match
you
.
Likewise
,
Friends
,
said
Basché
,
I
foresee
,
that
hereafter
you
will
act
rarely
this
Tragical
Farce
,
since
the
very
first
time
you
have
so
skilfully
hamper'd
,
bethwack'd
,
belamm'd
,
and
bebump'd
the
Catchpole
.
From
this
day
I
double
your
Wages
.
As
for
you
,
my
Dear
(
said
he
to
his
Lady
)
make
your
Gratifications
as
you
please
;
you
are
my
Treasurer
,
you
know
.
For
my
part
,
first
and
foremost
,
I
drink
to
you
all
.
Come
on

box
it
about
,
't
is
good
and
cool
.
In
the
second
place
,
you
,
Mr.
Steward
,
take
this
Silver
Bason
,
I
give
it
you
freely
.
Then
,
you
,
my
Gentleman
of
the
Horse
,
take
these
two
Silver
gilt
Cups
,
and
let
not
the
Pages
be
Horse-whip'd
these
three
Months
.
My
Dear
,
let
them
have
my
best
white
Plumes
of
Feathers
with
the
Gold
Buckles
to
them
.
Sir
Oudart
,
this
Silver
Flaggon
falls
to
your
share
:
this
other
I
give
to
the
Cooks
.
To
the
Valets
de
Chambre
,
I
give
this
Silver
Basket
;
to
the
Grooms
this
Silver
gilt
Boat
;
to
the
Porter
these
two
Plates
:
to
the
Hostlers
these

take
you
these

Spoons
and

Sugar-Box
.
You
Footmen
,
take
this
large
Salt
.
Serve
me
well
,
and
I
'll
remember
you
.
For
on
the
word
of
a
Gentleman
,
I
had
rather
bear
in
War
one
hundred
blows
on
my
Helmet
in
the
Service
of
my
Country
,
than
be
once
cited
by
these
Knavish
Catchpoles
,
meerly
to
humour
this
same
gorbelly'd
Prior.

were
drub'd
at
Basche's
〈◊〉
FOur
days
after
,
another
young
long-shank'd
raw-bon'd
Catchpole
coming
to
serve
Basché
with
a
Writ
at
the
fat
Prior's
request
,
was
no
sooner
at
the
Gate
,
but
the
Porter
smelt
him
out
,
and
rung
the
Bell
;
at
whose
second
pull
,
all
the
Family
understood
the
Mystery
.
Loire
was
kneading
his
D●ugh
,
his
Wife
was
sifting
Meal
;
Oudart
was
toping
in
his
Office
;
the
Gentlemen
were
playing
at
Tennis
;
the
Lord
Basché
at
In
and
Out
with
my
Lady
;
the
Waitingmen
and
Gentlewomen
at
Push
Pin
:
the
Officers
at
Lanterlue
,
and
the
Pages
at
Hotcockles
,
giving
one
another
smart
bangs
.
They
were
all
immediately
inform'd
that
a
Catchpole
was
Hous'd
.
Upon
this
,
Oudart
put
on
his
Sacerdotal
,
and
Loire
and
his
Wife
their
Nuptial
Badges
.
Trudon
Pip'd
it
,
and
then
Taber'd
it
like
mad
,
all
made
haste
to
get
ready
,
not
forgetting
the
Gantlets
.
Basché
went
into
the
outward
Yard
;
there
the
Catchpole
meeting
him
,
fell
●n
his
Marrowbones
,
beg'd
of
him
not
to
take
it
ill
,
if
he
serv'd
him
with
a
Writ
at
the
Suit
of
the
fat
Prior
;
and
in
a
pathetic
Speech
,
let
him
know
that
he
was
a
publick
person
,
a
Servant
to
the
Monking
Tribe
,
Apparitor
to
the
Abbatial
Mytre
,
ready
to
do
as
much
for
him
,
nay
,
for
the
least
of
his
Servants
,
whensoever
he
would
imploy
and
use
him
.
Nay
,
truly
,
said
the
Lord
,
you
shall
not
serve
your
Writ
till
you
have
tasted
some
of
my
good
Quinquenays
Wine
and
been
a
Witness
to
a
Wedding
which
we
are
to
have
this
very
minute
.
Let
him
drink
and
refresh
himself
,
added
he
,
turning
towards
the
Levitical
Butler
,
and
then
bring
him
into
the
Hall
.
After
which
,
Catchpole
well
stuffed
and
moisten'd
,
came
with
Oudart
to
the
place
where
all
the
Actors
in
the
Farce
stood
ready
to
begin
.
The
sight
of
their
Game
set
them
a
laughing
,
and
the
Messenger
of
mischief
grinn'd
also
for
Company
's
sake
.
Then
the
Mysterious
words
were
mutter'd
to
and
by
the
Couple
,
their
Hands
joyn'd
,
the
Bride
buss'd
,
and
all
besprinkled
with
Holy
Water
.
While
they
were
bringing
Wine
and
Kickshaws
,
Thumps
began
to
trot
about
by
dozens
.
The
Catchpole
gave
the
Levite
several
blows
.
Oudart
who
had
his
Gantlet
hid
under
his
Canonical
Shirt
draws
it
on
〈…〉
,
and
then
〈…〉
●ll
on
the
〈…〉
a
Devil
;
the
〈◊〉
Gantiers
dropt
on
him
likewise
like
so
many
battering
Rams
.
Remember
the
Wedding
by
this
,
by
that
,
by
these
blows
,
said
they
.
In
short
they
stroak'd
him
so
to
the
purpose
that
he
pist
Blood
out
at
Mouth
,
Nose
,
Ears
,
and
Eyes
,
and
was
bruis'd
,
sore
,
batter'd
,
be
bump'd
,
and
crippled
at
the
Back
,
Neck
,
Breast
,
Arms
,
and
so
forth
.
Never
did
the
Batchelors
at
Avignon
in
Carnival
time
play
more
melodiously
at
Raphe
,
than
was
then
play'd
on
the
Catchpole's
Microcosm
:
at
last
down
he
fell
.
They
threw
a
great
deal
of
Wine
on
his
Snout
,
ty'd
round
the
Sleeve
of
his
Doublet
a
fine
yellow
and
green
Favour
,
and
got
him
upon
his
snotty
Beast
,
and
God
knows
how
he
got
to
l'Isle
Bouchart
,
where
I
cannot
truly
tell
you
whether
he
was
dress'd
and
look'd
after
or
no
both
by
his
Spouse
and
the
able
Doctors
of
the
Country
,
for
the
thing
never
came
to
my
Ears
.
The
next
day
they
had
a
third
part
to
the
same
Tune
,
because
it
did
not
appear
by
the
lean
Catchpole's
Bag
,
that
he
had
serv'd
his
Writ
.
So
the
fat
Prior
sent
a
new
Catchpole
at
the
head
of
a
brace
of
Bums
for
his
Guard
du
Corps
to
Summon
my
Lord
.
The
Porter
ringing
the
Bell
,
the
whole
Family
was
overjoy'd
,
knowing
that
it
was
another
Rogue
.
Basché
was
at
Dinner
with
his
Lady
and
the
Gentlemen
,
so
he
sent
for
the
Catchpole
,
made
him
sit
by
him
,
and
the
Bums
by
the
Women
,
and
made
them
eat
till
their
Bellies
crack'd
with
their
Breeches
unbutton'd
.
The
Fruit
being
serv'd
,
the
Catchpole
arose
from
Table
,
and
before
the
Bums
cited
Basché
,
Basché
kindly
ask'd
him
for
a
Copy
of
the
Warant
,
which
the
other
had
got
ready
:
He
then
takes
Witness
and
a
Copy
of
the
Summons
.
To
the
Catchpole
and
his
Bums
he
order'd
four
Ducats
for
Civility
Money
.
In
the
mean
time
all
were
withdrawn
for
the
Farce
.
So
Trudon
gave
the
Alarm
with
his
Tabor
.
Basché
desir'd
the
Catchpole
to
stay
and
see
one
of
his
Servants
married
,
and
witness
the
Contract
of
Marriage
,
paying
him
his
Fee
.
The
Catchpole
slap
dash
was
ready
,
took
out
his
Ink-horn
,
got
Paper
immediately
,
and
his
Bums
by
him
.
Then
Loire
came
into
the
Hall
at
one
door
,
and
his
Wife
with
the
Gentlewomen
at
another
in
Nuptial
Accoutrements
.
Oudart
,
in
Pontifica●ibus
takes
them
both
by
the
hands
,
asketh
them
their
will
;
giveth
them
the
Matrimonial
Blessing
,
and
was
very
Liberal
of
Holy
Water
.
The
Contract
Written
,
Sign'd
,
and
Register'd
,
on
one
side
was
brought
Wine
and
Comfits
;
on
the
other
;
White
and
Orange-tau●y-colour'd
Favours
were
distributed
;
on
another
,
Gantlets
privately
handed
about
.
CHAP.
XV.
How
the
Ancient
Custom
at
Nuptials
is
renewed
by
the
Catchpole
.
THe
Catchpole
having
made
shift
to
get
down
a
swindging
Streaker
of
Briton
Wine
,
said
to
Basché
,
Pray
,
Sir
,
what
do
you
mean
?
You
do
not
give
one
another
the
Memento
of
the
Wedding
.
By
St.
Joseph's
Wooden
Shoe
all
good
Customs
are
forgot
.
We
find
the
Form
,
but
the
Hare
's
scamper'd
;
and
the
Nest
,
but
the
Birds
are
flown
.
There
are
no
true
Friends
now-a-days
.
You
see
how
in
several
Churches
the
Ancient
Laudable
Custom
of
Tippling
on
account
of
the
blessed
St.
O.
O.
at
Christmass
is
come
to
nothing
.
The
World
is
in
its
Dotage
,
and
Dooms-day
is
certainly
coming
all
so
fast
.
Now
come
on
;
The
Wedding
,
the
Wedding
,
the
Wedding
,
remember
it
by
this
.
This
he
said
,
striking
Basché
and
his
Lady
,
then
her
Women
and
the
Levite
.
Then
the
Tabor
beat
a
point
of
War
,
and
the
Gantlets
began
to
do
their
Duty
,
in
so
much
that
the
Catchpole
had
his
Crown
crack'd
in
no
less
than
nine
places
.
One
of
the
Burns
had
his
right
Arm
put
out
of
joynt
,
and
the
other
his
upper
Jaw
Bone
or
Mandibule
dislocated
;
so
that
it
hid
half
his
Chin
,
with
a
Denudation
of
the
Wula
and
sad
loss
of
the
Molar
,
Masticatory
and
Canine
Teeth
.
Then
the
Tabor
beat
a
Retreat
;
the
Gantlets
were
carefully
hid
in
a
trice
,
and
sweet
Meats
afresh
distributed
to
renew
the
Mirth
of
the
Company
.
So
they
all
drank
to
one
another
,
and
especially
to
the
Catchpole
and
his
Bums
.
But
Oudart
Curs'd
and
Damn'd
the
Wedding
to
the
pit
of
Hell
,
complaining
that
one
of
the
Bums
had
utterly
disincornisistibulated
his
nether
Shoulder
blade
.
Nevertheless
he
scorn'd
to
be
thought
a
Flincher
,
and
made
shift
to
tope
to
him
on
the
square
.
The
Jawless
Bum
shrug'd
up
his
Shoulders
,
joyn'd
his
Hands
,
and
by
signs
beg'd
his
Pardon
;
for
speak
he
could
not
.
The
sham
Bridegroom
made
his
moan
,
That
the
crippled
Bum
had
struck
him
such
a
horrid
thump
with
his
Shoulder-of-Mutton-Fist
on
the
nether
Elbow
,
that
he
was
grown
quite
esperruquanchuzelubelouzerireliced
down
to
his
very
Heel
,
to
the
no
small
loss
of
Mistress
Bride
.
But
what
harm
had
poor
I
done
(
cry'd
Trudon
hiding
his
left
Eye
with
his
Kerchief
,
and
shewing
his
Tabor
crack'd
on
one
side
)
they
were
not
satisfied
with
thus
poaching
,
black-and
bluing
,
and
morrambouzevezengouzequoquemorgasacbaquevezinemaffreliding
my
poor
Eyes
,
but
they
have
also
broke
my
harmless
Drum
.
Drums
indued
are
commonly
beaten
at
Weddings
;
(
and
't
is
sit
they
should
)
but
Drummers
are
well
entertain'd
,
and
never
beaten
.
Now
let
Belzebub
e'en
take
the
Drum
to
make
his
Devilship
a
Night-Cap
.
Brother
,
said
the
lame
Catchpole
,
never
fret
thy self
,
I
will
make
thee
a
present
of
a
fine
,
large
,
old
Patent
which
I
have
here
in
my
Bag
to
patch
up
thy
Drum
,
and
for
Madam
St.
Ann's
sake
I
pray
thee
forgive
us
.
By
'r
Lady
of
River
,
the
blessed
Dame
,
I
meant
no
more
harm
than
the
Child
unborn
.
One
of
the
Querries
who
hopping
and
halting
like
a
mumping
Cripple
,
mimick'd
the
good
limping
Lord
de
la
Roche
Posay
,
directed
his
Discourse
to
the
Bum
with
the
pouting
Jaw
,
and
told
him
,
What
,
Mr.
Manhound
,
was
it
not
enough
thus
to
have
morcrocastebezasteverestegrigeligoscopapopondrillated
us
all
in
our
upper
Members
with
your
botch'd
Mittens
,
but
you
must

on
our
Shinbones
with
the
hard
tops
and

of

?
Do
you
call
this
Childrens
play
?
By
the
Mass
,
't
is
no
Jest
.
The
Bum
wringing
his
Hands
,
seemed
to
beg
his
Pardon
,
muttering
with
his
Tongue
,
mon
,
mon
,
mon
,
vrelon
,
von
,
von
,
like
a
Dumb
Man
.
The
Bride
crying
laught
,
and
laughing
cry'd
,
because
the
Catchpole
was
not
satisfy'd
with
drubbing
her
without
choice
or
distinction
of
Members
,
but
had
also
rudely
rous'd
and
tous'd
her
;
pull'd
off
her
Topping
,
and
not
having
the
fear
of
her
Husband
before
his
Eyes
,
treacherously
trepignemanpinillorifrizonoufresturfumbledtumbled
and
squees'd
her
lower
parts
.
The
Devil
go
with
it
,
said
Basché
,
there
was
much
need
indeed
that
this
same
Master
King
(
this
was
the
Catchpole's
Name
)
should
thus
break
my
Wifes
Back
:
however
I
forgive
him
now
;
these
are
little
Nuptial
Caresses
.
But
this
I
plainly
perceive
,
that
he
cited
me
like
an
Angel
,
and
drubb'd
me
like
a
Devil
.
He
hath
something
in
him
of
Fryar
Thumpwell
.
Come
,
for
all
this
I
must
drink
to
him
,
and
to
you
likewise
his
trusty
Esquires
.
But
said
his
Lady
,
why
hath
he
been
so
very
liberal
of
his
manual
kindness
to
me
without
the
least
provocation
?
I
assure
you
,
I
by
no
means
like
it
;
but
this
I
dare
say
for
him
,
that
he
hath
the
hardest
Knuckles
that
ever
I
felt
on
my
Shoulders
.
The
Steward
held
his
left
Arm
in
a
Scarf
,
as
if
it
had
been
rent
and
torn
in
twain
:
I
think
it
was
the
Devil
,
said
he
,
that
mov'd
me
to
assist
at
these
Nuptials
;
shame
on
ill
luck
,
I
must-needs
be
meddling
,
with
a
Pox
,
and
now
see
what
I
have
got
by
the
Bargain
,
both
my
Arms
are
wretchedly
engoulevezinemassdandbruis'd
.
Do
you
call
this
a
Wedding
?
By
St.
Briget's
Tooth
,
I
had
rather
be
at
that
of
a
Tom
T
—
d-Man
;
this
is
o'
my
word
e'en
just
such
another
Feast
as
was
that
of
the
Lapithes
,
describ'd
by
the
Philosopher
of
Samosate
.
One
of
the
Bums
had
lost
his
Tongue
.
The
two
other
,
tho'
they
had
more
need
to
complain
,
made
their
excuse
as
well
as
they
could
,
protesting
that
they
hadt
no
ill
design
in
this
Dumbfounding
;
begging
that
for
goodness
sake
they
would
forgive
them
,
and
so
tho'
they
could
hardly
budge
a
foot
,
or
wag
along
,
away
they
crawl'd
.
About
a
mile
from
Basché's
Seat
,
the
Catchpole
found
himself
somewhat
out
of
sorts
.
The
Bums
got
to
l'Isle
Bouchard
,
publickly
saying
,
That
since
they
were
born
,
they
had
never
seen
an
honester
Gentleman
than
the
Lord
of
Basché
,
or
civiller
People
than
his
,
and
that
they
had
never
been
at
the
like
Wedding
(
which
I
verily
believe
)
but
that
it
was
their
own
faults
if
they
had
been
tickled
off
and
toss'd
about
from
Post
to
Pillar
,
since
themselves
had
began
the
beating
.
So
they
liv'd
I
can't
exactly
tell
you
how
many
days
after
this
.
But
from
that
time
to
this
it
was
held
for
a
certain
truth
,
That
Basché
●s
Money
was
more
pestilential
,
mortal
and
pernicious
to
the
Catchpoles
and
Bums
,
than
were
formerly
the
Aurum
Thelosanum
,
and
the
Sejan
Horse
to
those
that
possessed
them
.
Ever
since
this
,
he
lived
quietly
,
and
Basché's
Wedding
grew
into
a
common
Proverb
.
CHAP.
XVI
.
How
Fryar
Jhon
made
tryal
of
the
Nature
of
the
Catchpoles
.
THis
Story
would
seem
pleasant
enough
,
said
Pantagruel
,
were
we
not
to
have
always
the
fear
of
God
before
our
Eyes
.
It
had
been
better
,
said
Epistemon
,
if
those
Gantle●s
had
fallen
upon
the
fat
Prior
:
Since
he
took
a
pleasure
in
spending
his
Mony
partly
to
vex
Basché
▪
partly
to
see
those
Catchpoles
bang'd
,
good
lusty
thumps
would
have
done
well
on
his
shav'd
Crown
,
considering
the
horrid
Concussions
now-a
days
among
those
puny
Judges
.
What
harm
had
done
those
poor
Devils
the
Catchpoles
.
This
puts
me
in
mind
,
said
Pantagruel
,
of
an
ancient
Roman
named
L.
Neratius
;
he
was
of
Noble
Blood
,
and
for
some
time
was
rich
;
but
had
this
Tyrannical
Inclination
,
that
whenever
he
went
out
of
doors
,
he
caused
his
Servants
to
fill
their
Pockets
with
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
meeting
in
the
street
your
spruce
Gallants
and
better
sort
of
Beaux
,
without
the
least
provocation
,
for
his
fancy
he
us'd
to
strike
them
hard
on
the
Face
with
his
Fist
,
and
immediately
after
that
,
to
appease
them
and
hinder
them
from
complaining
to
the
Magistrates
,
he
would
give
them
as
much
Money
as
satisfied
them
ac-according
to
the
Law
of
the
twelve
Tables
.
Thus
he
us'd
to
spend
his
Revenue
,
beating
People
for
the
price
of
his
Money
.
By
St.
Bennet's
Sacred
Boot
,
quoth
Fryar
Jhon
,
I
will
know
the
truth
of
it
presently
.
This
said
,
he
went
on
shoar
,
put
his
hand
in
his
Fob
,
and
took
out
twenty
Ducats
,
then
said
with
a
loud
voice
in
the
hearing
of
a
shoal
of
the
Nation
of
Catchpoles
,
Who
will
earn
twenty
Ducats
,
for
being
beaten
like
the
Devil
?
Io
,
Io
,
Io
,
said
they
all
;
you
will
cripple
us
for
ever
,
Sir
,
that
's
most
certain
,
but
the
Money
is
tempting
.
With
this
they
were
all
thronging
who
should
be
first
,
to
be
thus
pretiously
beaten
.
Fryar
Jhon
singl'd
him
out
of
the
whole
knot
of
these
Rogues
in
grain
,
a
red
Snout
Catchpole
,
who
upon
his
right
Thumb
wore
a
thick
broad
Silver
Hoop
,
wherein
was
set
a
good
large
Toad-stone
.
He
had
no
sooner
pick'd
him
out
from
the
rest
,
but
I
perceiv'd
that
they
all
mutter'd
and
grumbl'd
,
and
I
heard
a
young
thin-jaw'd
Catchpole
,
a
notable
Scholar
,
a
pretty
Fellow
at
his
Pen
,
and
,
according
to
publick
report
,
much
cry'd
up
for
his
honesty
at
Doctors
Commons
,
making
his
complaint
,
and
muttering
;
because
this
same
crimson
Phyz
carry'd
away
all
the
Practice
,
and
that
if
there
were
but
a
score
and
a
half
of
Bastinadoes
to
be
got
,
he
would
certainly
run
away
with
eight
and
twenty
of
them
.
But
all
this
was
look'd
upon
to
be
nothing
but
meer
Envy
.
Fryar
Jhon
so
unmercifully
thrash'd
,
thump'd
and
belabour'd
Red-Snout
,
Back
and
Belly
,
Sides
,
Legs
and
Arms
,
Head
,
Feet
,
and
so
forth
,
with
the
home
&
frequently
repeated
application
of
one
of
the
best
Members
of
a
Faggot
,
that
I
took
him
to
be
a
dead
Man
;
then
he
gave
him
the
twenty
Ducats
;
which
made
the
Dog
get
on
his
Legs
,
pleas'd
like
a
little
King
,
or
two
.
The
rest
were
saying
to
Fryar
Jhon
,
Sir
,
Sir
,
Brother
Devil
,
if
it
please
you
to
do
us
the
favour
to
beat
some
of
us
for
less
Money
,
we
are
all
at
your
Devilship's
command
,
Bags
,
Papers
,
Pens
and
all
.
Red-Snout
cry'd
out
against
them
,
saying
with
a
loud
voice
:
Body
of
me
,
you
little
Prigs
,
will
you
offer
to
take
the
Bread
out
of
my
Mouth
?
will
you
take
my
Bargain
over
my
Head
?
Would
you
draw
and
inveigle
from
me
my
Clients
and
Customers
?
Take
notice
,
I
Summon
you
before
the
Official
this
day
se'night
;
I
will
Law
and
Claw
you
like
any
old
Devil
,
that
I
will
.
—
Then
turning
himself
towards
Fryar
Jhon
,
with
a
smiling
and
joyful
look
,
he
said
to
him
,
Reverend
Father
in
the
Devil
,
if
you
have
found
me
a
good
Hide
,
and
have
a
mind
to
divert
your self
once
more
,
by
beating
your
humble
Servant
,
I
will
bate
you
half
in
half
this
time
,
rather
than
lose
your
Custom
,
do
not
spare
me
I
beseech
you
;
I
am
all
,
and
more
than
all
yours
,
good
Mr.
Devil
,
Head
,
Lungs
,
Tripes
,
Guts
and
Garbage
,
and
that
at
a
Penniworth
I
'll
assure
you
.
Fryar
Jhon
n'er
heeded
his
proffers
,
but
e'en
left
them
.
The
other
Catchpoles
were
making
Addresses
to
Panurge
,
Epistemon
,
Gymnast
,
and
others
,
entreating
them
charitably
to
bestow
upon
their
Carcasses
a
small
beating
,
for
otherwise
they
were
in
danger
of
keeping
a
long
Fast
:
but
none
of
them
had
a
Stomach
to
it
.
Sometime
after
,
seeking
fresh
Water
for
the
Ship
's
Company
,
we
met
a
couple
of
old
Female
Catchpoles
of
the
place
,
miserably
howling
and
weeping
in
Consort
.
Pantagruel
had
kept
on
Board
,
and
already
had
caus'd
a
Retreat
to
be
sounded
.
Thinking
they
might
be
related
to
the
Catchpole
that
was
bastinado'd
,
We
ask'd
them
the
occasion
of
their
grief
.
They
reply'd
,
That
they
had
too
much
cause
to
weep
,
for
that
very
hour
from
an
exalted
Triple
Tree
,
two
of
the
honestest
Gentlemen
in
Catchpoleland
had
been
made
to
cut
a
Caper
on
nothing
.
Cut
a
Caper
on
nothing
?
said
Gymnast
,
my
Pages
use
to
cut
Capers
on
the
Ground
;
to
cut
a
Caper
on
nothing
,
should
be
hanging
and
choaking
,
or
I
am
out
.
Ay
,
ay
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
,
you
speak
of
it
like
St.
John
de
la
Palisse
.
We
ask'd
them
why
they
treated
those
worthy
Persons
with
such
a
choaking
Hempen
Sallat
?
They
told
us
they
had
only
borrow'd
,
alias
stol'n
the
Tools
of
the
Mass
,
and
hid
them
under
the
handle
of
the
Parish
.
This
is
a
very
Allegorical
way
of
speaking
said
Epistemon

How
Pantagruel
came
to
the
Island
of
Tohu
and
Bohu
,
and
of
the
strange
death
of
Widenostrils
the
Swallower
of
Windmills
.
THAT
day
Pantagruel
came
to
the
two
Islands
of
Tohu
and
Bohu
,
where
the
Devill
a
bit
we
could
find
any
thing
to
fry
with
.
For
,
one
Widenostrils
,
a
huge
Giant
had
swallowed
every
individual
Pan
,
Skillet
,
Kettle
,
frying-Pan
,
dripping-Pan
,
and
Brass
and
Iron
Pot
in
the
Land
,
for
want
of
Windmils
,
which
were
his
daily
food
.
Whence
it
happen'd
that
somewhat
before
Day
,
about
the
hour
of
his
digestion
,
the
greedy
Churle
was
taken
very
ill
,
with
a
kind
of
a
Surfeit
,
or
Crudity
of
stomach
,
occasion'd
(
as
the
Physicians
said
)
by
the
weakness
of
the
concocting
faculty
of
his
stomach
,
naturally
dispos'd
to
digest
whole
Windmils
at
a
gust
,
yet
unable
to
consume
perfectly
the
Pans
and
Skillets
;
though
it
had
indeed
pretty
well
digested
the
Kettles
and
Pots
,
as
they
said
they
kn●w
by
the
Hypostases
and
Encoresmes
of
four
Tubs
of
second
hand
Drink
which
he
had
evacuated
,
at
two
different
times
that
morning
.
They
made
use
of
diverse
remedies
according
to
art
,
to
give
him
ease
:
But
all
would
not
do
,
the
Distemper
prevail'd
over
the
remedies
,
in
so
much
that
the
famous
Widenostrils
dy'd
that
morning
,
of
so
strange
a
death
,
that
I
think
you
ought
no
longer
to
wonder
at
that
of
the
Poet
Aeschylus's
.
It
had
been
foretold
him
by
the
Sooth-sayers
,
that
he
would
dye
on
a
certain
Day
,
by
the
ruin
of
something
that
should
fall
on
him
;
that
fatal
day
being
come
in
its
Turn
,
he
remov'd
himself
out
of
Town
,
far
from
all
Houses
,
Trees
,
or
any
other
things
that
can
fall
,
and
indanger
by
their
ruin
;
and
stay'd
in
a
large
field
,
trusting
himself
to
the
open
Sky
,
there
very
secure
as
he
thought
,
unless
indeed
the
Sky
should
happen
to
fall
,
which
he
held
to
be
impossible
.
Yet
they
say
that
the
Larks
are
much
afraid
of
it
,
for
if
it
should
fall
,
they
must
all
be
taken
.
The
Celix
that
once
liv'd
near
the
Rhine
,
(
they
are
our
noble
valiant
French
)
in
ancient
times
were
also
afraid
of
the
Sky's
falling
;
for
being
ask'd
by
Alexander
the
great
,
what
they
fear'd
most
in
this
World
,
hoping
well
they
would
say
that
they
fear'd
none
but
him
,
considering
his
great
Atchievements
,
they
made
answer
,
That
they
fear'd
nothing
but
the
Sky's
falling
;
however
not
refusing
to
enter
into
a
confederacy
with
so
brave
a
King
:
If
you
believe
Strabo
Lib.
7.
and
Arrian
Lib.
1.
Plutarch
also
in
his
book
of
the
Face
that
appears
on
the
body
of
the
Moon
,
speaks
of
one
Phoenaces
who
very
much
fear'd
the
Moon
should
fall
on
Earth
,
and
pity'd
those
that
live
under
that
Planet
,
as
the
Aethiopians
and
Taprobanians
,
if
so
heavy
a
Mass
ever
happened
to
fall
on
them
;
and
would
have
fear'd
the
like
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
had
they
not
been
duely
propt
up
and
born
by
the
Atlantic
Pillars
,
as
the
ancients
believ'd
,
according
to
Aristotles
testimony
Lib.
5.
Metaphis
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
,
poor
Aeschylus
was
kill'd
by
the
fall
of
the
shell
of
a
Tortoise
,
which
falling
from
betwixt
the
Claws
of
an
Eagle
high
in
the
Air
,
just
on
his
head
,
dash'd
out
his
brains
.
Neither
ought
you
to
wonder
at
the
death
of
another
Poet
,
I
mean
old
Jolly
Anacreon
,
who
was
choak'd
with
a
grape-stone
:
nor
at
that
of
Fabius
the
Roman
Praetor
who
was
smothered
with
a
single
Goat's-hair
as
he
was
supping
up
a
porringer
of
Milk
.
Nor
at
the
death
of
that
bashfull
Fool
who
by
holding
in
his
Wind
,
and
for
want
of
letting
out
a
Bumgunshot
dy'd
suddenly
in
the
presence
of
the
Emperor
Claudius
.
Nor
at
that
of
the
Italian
buried
on
the
Via
Flaminia
at
Rome
who
in
his
Epitaph
,
complains
that
the
bite
of
a
she-Puss
on
his
little
Finger
was
the
cause
of
his
death
Nor
of
that
of
Q.
Lecanius
Bassus
,
who
dyed
suddenly
of
so
small
a
prick
with
a
needle
on
his
left
thumb
,
that
it
could
hardly
be
descern'd
.
Nor
of
Quenelault
a
Norman
Physician
who
dy'd
suddenly
at
Montpellier
meerely
for
having
sideways
took
a
worm
out
of
his
hand
with
a
Pen-knife
.
Nor
of
Philomenes
,
whose
Servant
having
got
him
some
new
Figs
,
for
the
first
course
of
his
dinner
,
whilst
he
went
to
fetch
wine
,
a
straggling
welhung
Ass
got
into
the
House
,
and
seeing
the
figs
on
the
Table
,
without
further
invitation
soberly
fell
to
:
Philomenes
coming
into
the
Room
and
nicely
observing
with
what
gravity
the
Ass
eat
its
Dinner
,
said
to
his
Man
who
was
come
back
;
since
thou
hast
set
figs
here
for
this
reverent
Guest
of
ours
to
eat
,
methinks
it
's
but
reason
thou
also
give
him
some
of
this
Wine
to
drink
.
He
had
no
sooner
said
this
,
but
he
was
so
excessively
pleased
,
and
fell
into
so
exorbitant
a
fit
of
Laughter
,
that
the
use
of
his
spleen
took
that
of
his
breath
utterly
away
,
and
he
immediately
dy'd
.
Nor
of
Spurius
Saufeius
,
who
dy'd
supping
up
a
soft
Egg
as
he
came
out
of
a
bath
.
Nor
of
him
who
,
as
Boccace
tells
us
,
dy'd
suddenly
by
picking
his
grinders
with
a
Sage-stalk
.
Nor
of
Philipot
Placut
,
who
being
brisk
and
hale
,
fell
dead
as
he
was
paying
and
old
debt
;
which
causes
perhaps
many
not
to
pay
theirs
,
for
fear
of
the
like
accident
.
Nor
of
the
Painter
Zeuxis
who
kill'd
himself
with
laughing
at
the
sight
of
the
Antick
Jobbernol
of
an
old
hagg
drawn
by
him
.
Nor
in
short
of
a
thousand
more
of
which
Authors
write
,
as
Verrius
,
Pliny
,
Valerius
,
J.
Baptista
,
Fulgosius
,
and
Bacabery
the
elder
.
In
short
,
Gaffer
Widenostrils
choak'd
himself
with
eating
a
huge
lump
of
fresh
Butter
at
the
mouth
of
a
hot
Oven
,
by
the
advice
of
Physicians
.
They
likewise
told
us
there
,
that
the
King
of
Cullan
in
Bohu
had
routed
the
Grandees
of
King
Mecloth
,
and
made
sad
work
with
the
Fortresses
of
Belima
.
After
this
,
we
sail'd
by
the
Islands
of
Nargues
and
Zargues
;
also
by
the
Islands
of
Teleniabin
and
Geneliabin
,
very
fine
and
fruitful
in
Ingredients
for
Clysters
:
and
then
by
the
islands
of
●nig
and
Evig
,
on
whose
account
formerly
the
Landgrave
of
Hesse
was
swindg'd
off
with
a
vengeance
.

How
Pantagruel
met
with
a
great
Storm
at
Sea
.
THe
next
day
we
espied
nine
Sail
that
came
spooning
before
the
Wind
;
they
were
full
of
Dominicans
,
Jesuits
,
Capuchins
,
Hermits
,
Austins
,
Bernardins
,
Celestins
,
Theatins
,
Egnatins
,
Amadeans
,
Cordeliers
,
Carmelites
,
Minims
,
and
the
Devil
and
all
of
other
holy
Monks
and
Fryars
,
who
were
going
to
the
Council
of
Chesil
,
to
sift
and
garble
some
Articles
of
Faith
against
the
new
Hereticks
;
Panurge
was
overjoy'd
to
see
them
,
being
most
certain
of
good
luck
,
for
that
day
and
a
long
train
of
others
.
So
,
having
courteously
saluted
the
goodly
Fathers
,
and
recommended
the
salvation
of
his
precious
Soul
to
their
Devout
Prayers
and
private
Ejaculations
,
he
caus'd
seventy
eight
dozen
of
Westphalia
Hams
,
Unites
of
Pots
of
Caviar
,
Tens
of
Bolonia
Sawsages
,
Hundreds
of
Botargoes
,
and
Thousands
of
fine
Angels
,
for
the
Souls
of
the
dead
,
to
be
thrown
on
board
their
Ships
.
Pantagruel
seem'd
metagraboliz'd
,
dozing
,
out
of
sorts
,
and
as
melancholick
as
a
Cat
:
Fryar
Jhon
who
soon
perceiv'd
it
,
was
enquiring
of
him
whence
should
come
this
unusual
sadness
?
When
the
Master
,
whose
Watch
it
was
,
observing
the
fluttering
of
the
Ancient
above
the
Poop
,
and
seeing
that
it
began
to
overcast
,
judg'd
that
we
should
have
Wind
,
therefore
he
bid
the
Boatswain
call
hands
upon
Deck
,
Officers
,
Sailers
,
Fore-Mast
Men
,
Swabbers
,
and
Cabbin-boys
,
and
even
the
Passengers
;
made
'em
first
settle
their
Top-sails
,
take
in
their
Spreet-sail
;
then
he
cry'd
,
in
with
your
Top-sails
,
lower
the
Fore-sail
,
Tallow
under
the
Parrels
,
brade
up
close
all
them
Sails
,
strike
your
Top-Masts
to
the
Cap
,
make
all
sure
with
your
Sheeps-feet
,
Lash
your
Guns
fast
.
All
this
was
nimbly
done
.
Immediately
it
blow'd
a
Storm
,
the
Sea
began
to
roar
,
and
swell
Mountain
high
:
The
Rut
of
the
Sea
was
great
,
the
Waves
breaking
upon
our
Ships
Quarter
,
the
North
West
Wind
bluster'd
and
over-blow'd
;
boisterous
gusts
;
dreadful
clashings
and
deadly
scuds
of
Wind
whistled
through
our
Yards
,
and
made
our
Shrouds
rattle
again
.
The
Thunder
grumbled
so
horridly
,
that
you
would
have
thought
Heaven
had
been
tumbling
about
our
Ears
;
at
the
same
time
it
Lighten'd
,
Rain'd
,
Hail'd
;
the
Sky
lost
its
transparent
hue
,
grew
dusky
,
thick
and
gloomy
,
so
that
we
had
no
other
light
than
that
of
the
Flashes
of
Lightning
and
rending
of
the
Clouds
:
The
Hurricans
,
Flaws
and
sudden
Whirl-winds
began
to
make
a
Flame
about
us
by
the
Lightnings
,
Fiery
Vapours
,
and
other
Aerial
Ejaculations
.
Oh
how
our
Looks
were
full
of
amazement
and
trouble
,
while
the
sawcy
Winds
did
rudely
lift
up
above
us
the
Mountainous
Waves
of
the
Main
.
Believe
me
,
it
seem'd
to
us
a
lively
Image
of
the
Chaos
,
where
Fire
,
Air
,
Sea
,
Land
,
and
all
the
Elements
were
in
a
refractory
confusion
.
Poor
Panurge
,
having
,
with
the
full
contents
of
the
inside
of
his
Doublet
,
plentifully
fed
the
Fish
,
greedy
enough
of
such
odious
Fare
,
sat
on
the
Deck
all
in
a
heap
,
with
his
Nose
and
Arse
together
,
most
sadly
cast
down
,
moping
and
half
dead
;
invok'd
and
call'd
to
his
assistance
all
the
Blessed
he
and
she
Saints
he
could
muster
up
,
swore
and
vow'd
to
Confess
in
time
and
place
convenient
,
and
then
bawl'd
out
frightfully

Would
to
our

and
to
our

I
were
now
,
I
say
,
this
very
minute
of
an
hour

well
on

hale

O
twice
and
thrice
happy
those
that
plant
Cabbages
!
O
Destinies
,
why
did
you
not
Spin
me
for
a
Cabbage
Planter
?
O
how
few
are
they
to
whom
Jupiter
hath
been
so
favourable
as
to
Predestinate
them
to
plant
Cabbage
!
They
have
always
one
Foot
on
the
ground
,
and
the
other
not
far
from
it
.
Dispute
who
will
of
Felicity
,
and
summum
bonum
,
for
my
part
,
whosoever
plants
Cabbage
,
is
now
by
my
Decree
proclaim'd
most
happy
;
for
as
good
a
reason
as
the
Philosopher
Pyrrho
being
in
the
same
danger
,
and
seeing
a
Hog
near
the
shoar
eating
some
scatter'd
Oats
,
declar'd
it
happy
in
two
respects
,
first
,
because
it
had
plenty
of
Oats
,
and
besides
that
was
on
shoar
.
Hah
,
for
a
Divine
and
Princely
Habitation
,
commend
me
to
the
Cows
Floor
.
Murther
!
This
Wave
will
sweep
us
away
,
blessed
Saviour
!
O
my
Friends
!
a
little
Vinegar
.
I
sweat
again
with
meer
agony
.
Alas

the
Misen
Sail

the
Gallery's
wash'd
away
,
the
Masts
are
sprung
,
the

;
the
Keel
is
up
to
the

;
our
Shrouds
are
almost
all
broke
,
and
blown
away
.
Alas

Alas

Where
is
our

Course
?
Ael

,
our

Alas

Who

Friend

lend

you
one
of

Your
Lanthorn

my
Lads

Alas

don
't
let
go

I

For
the

let

and

Look

I

Sir
Astrophel

and
tell

What
Countenances
Panurge
and
Fryar
Jhon
kept
during
the
Storm
.
PAntagruel
having
first
implor'd
the
help
of
the
Great
and
Almighty
Deliverer
,
and
pray'd
publickly
with
fervent
Devotion
,
by
the
Pilot's
advice
held
titely
the
Mast
of
the
Ship
.
Fryar
Jhon
had
strip'd
himself
to
his
Wastcoat
,
to
help
the
Seamen
.
Epistemon
,
Ponocrates
,
and
the
rest
did
as
much
.
Panurge
alone
sate
on
his
Breech
upon
Deck
,
weeping
,
and
howling
.
Fryar
Jhon
espy'd
him
,
going
on
the
Quarter-Deck
,
and
said
to
him
:
Odzoons
,
Panurge
the
Calf
,
Panurge
the
Whiner
,
Panurge
the
Brayer
,
would
it
not
become
thee
much
better
to
lend
us
here
a
helping
hand
,
than
to
lie
lowing
like
a
Cow
,
as
thou
dost
,
sitting
on
thy
Stones
like
a
bald
breech'd
Baboon
?

In

How
the
Pilots
were
forsaking
their
Ships
in
the
greatest
stress
of
Weather
.
OH
,
said
Panurge
,
you
sin
,
Fryar
Jhon
,
my
former
Crony
,
former
,
I
say
,
for
at
this
time
I
am
no
more
,
you
are
no
more
.
It
goes
against
my
Heart
to
tell
it
you
;
for
I
believe
this
swearing
doth
your
spleen
a
great
deal
of
good
;
as
it
is
a
great
ease
to
a
Wood-Cleaver
to
cry
hem
,
at
every
blow
;
and
as
one
who
plays
at
Nine
Pins
,
is
wonderfully
help'd
,
if
,
when
he
hath
not
thrown
his
Bowl
right
,
and
is
like
to
make
a
bad
cast
,
some
ingenious
stander-by
leans
and
screws
his
Body
half
way
about
,
on
that
side
which
the
Bowl
should
have
took
to
hit
the
Pins
.
Nevertheless
you
offend
,
my
sweet
Friend
.
But
what
do
you
think
of
eating
some
kind
of
Cabirotadoes
?
Wouldn't
this
secure
us
from
this
Storm
?
I
have
read
that
the
Ministers
of
the
Gods
Cabiri
so
much
celebrated
by
Orpheus
,
Appollonius
,
Pherecides
,
Strabo
,
Pausanias
,
and
Herodotus
were
always
secure
in
time
of
Storm
.
He
doats
,
he
raves
,
the
poor
Devil
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
.
A
thousand
,
a
million
,
nay
,
a
hundred
millions
of
Devils
seize
the
hornify'd
Doddipole

Lend's

,
wouldst
thou

Here

side

Ods

stuffed
with
Relicks
,
what
Ape
's
Pater
Noster
art
thou
muttering
and
chattering
here
between
thy
Teeth
?
That
Devil
of
a
Sea
Calf
is
the
cause
of
all
this
Storm
,
and
is
the
only
Man
who
doth
not
lend
a
helping
Hand
.
By
G—
if
I
come
near
thee
,
I
'll
fetch
thee
out
by
the
Head
and
Ears
with
a
vengeance
,
and
chastise
thee
like
any
Tempestative
Devil
.
Here

Lad

I
have
made
a

O'

Boy

Would
to
Heaven
thou
wert
Abbot
of
Talemouze

hold

Discourse

the
Subject
of
making
Testaments

TO

at

that
we

to
bestir
our selves

help
our
Seamen
,
on
the
penalty
of
being
drown'd
,
seems
to
me
as
idle
and
ridiculous
a
Maggot
as
that
of
some
of
Caesars's
Men
,
who
at
their
coming
into
the
Gauls
,
were
mightily
busi'd
in
making
Wills
and
Codicils
,
bemoan'd
their
Fortune
,
and
the
absence
of
their
Spouses
and
Friends
at
Rome
,
when
it
was
absolutely
necessary
for
them
to
run
to
their
Arms
,
and
use
their
utmost
strength
against
Ariovistus
their
Enemy
.
This
also
is
to
be
as
silly
,
as
that
Jolt-headed
Loblolly
of
a
Carter
,
who
,
having
laid
his
Waggon
fast
in
a-Slough
,
down
on
his
Marrow-bones
,
was
calling
on
the
strong-Back'd
Deity
Hercules
,
might
and
main
,
to
help
him
at
a
dead
lift
,
but
all
the
while
forgot
to
goad
on
his
Oxen
,
and
lay
his
.
Shoulder
to
the
Wheels
,
as
it
behoved
him
,
as
if
a
Lord
have
mercy
upon
us
,
alone
,
would
have
got
his
Cart
out
of
the
Mire
.
What
will
it
signifie
to
make
your
Will
now
?
For
either
we
shall
come
off
,
or
drown
for
't
.
If
we
scape
,
it
will
not
signifie
a
straw
to
us
;
for
,
Testaments
are
of
no
value
,
or
Authority
,
but
by
the
death
of
the
Testators
.
If
we
are
drown'd
,
will
it
not
be
drown'd
too
?
Pr'ythee
who
will
transmit
it
to
the
Executors
?
Some
kind
Wave
will
throw
it
ashoar
,
like
Vlysses
,
reply'd
Panurge
,
and
some
King's
Daughter
,
going
to
fetch
a
Walk
in
the
fresco
on
the
Evening
,
will
find
it
,
and
take
care
to
have
it
prov'd
and
fulfil'd
;
Nay
,
and
have
some
stately
Cenotaph
erected
to
my
Memory

said
Fryar
Jhon
,
to
run
on
at
this
rate
?
Help
here
,
in
the
name
of
five
hundred
thousand
millions
of
Cart-loads
of
Devils
,
help
;
may
a
Shanker
gnaw
thy
Moustachio's

and
three
rows
of
Pock
Royals
and
Colly-flowers
cover
thy
Bum
and
Turd-barrel
instead
of
Breeches
and
Codpiece

Codsooks
,
our
Ship
is
almost
overset
.
Ods
death
,
how
shall
we
clear
her
?
'T
is
well
if
she
don't
founder
.
What
a
Devilish
Sea
there
runs
?
She
'll
neither
try
,
nor
hull
,
the
Sea
will
overtake
her
,
so
we
shall
never
scape
,
the
Devil
scape
me
.
Then
Pantagruel
was
heard
to
make
a
sad
Exclamation
,
saying
with
a
loud
voice
;
Lord
save
us
,
we
perish
:
Yet
not
as
we
would
have
it
,
but
thy
holy
Will
be
done
.
The
Lord
,
and
the
Blessed
Virgin

Panurge

In

me
safe

like
a
pretty
little
Arion
.
I
shall
make

to
sound
the
Harp
if
it
be
not
unstrung
.
Let
nineteen
Legions
of
black
Devils
seize
me
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
(
the
Lord
be
with
us
,
whisper'd
Panurge
between
his
chattering
Teeth
)
If
I
come
down
to
thee
,
I
'll
shew
thee
to
some
purpose
,
that
the
Badge
of
thy
Humanity
dangles

What

Take

you
pilot
her
in

Cheer

up
cry'd
out
Pantagruel
,
Cheer
up
,
my
Boys
:
Let
's
be
our selves
again
,
do
you
see
yonder
close
by
our
Ship
,
two
Barks
,
three
Sloops
,
five
Ships
,
eight
Pinks
,
four
Yawls
,
and
six
Frigats
,
making
towards
us
,
sent
by
the
good
People
of
the
neighbouring
Island
to
our
Relief
.
But
who
is
this
Vcalegon
below
,
that
cry's
and
makes
such
a
sad
moan
.
Were
it
not
that
I
hold
the
Mast
firmly
with
both
my
hands
,
and
keep
it
streighter
than
two
hundred
tacklings
.
—
I
'd
.
—
It
is
(
said
Fryar
Ihon
)
that
poor
Devil
Panurge
,
who
is
troubled
with
a
Calf's
ague
;
he
quakes
for
fear
when
his
belly
's
full
.
If
,
said
Pantagruel
,
he
hath
been
afraid
during
this
dreadfull
Hurricane
,
and
dangerous
Storm
,
provided
(
waving
that
)
he
hath
done
his
part
like
a
Man
,
I
do
not
value
him
a
Jot
the
less
for
it
.
For
as
to
fear
in
all
Encounters
,
is
the
mark
of
a
heavy
,
and
cowardly
Heart
,
as
Agamemnon
did
,
who
for
that
reason
,
is
ignominiously
tax'd
by
Achilles
with
having
Dogs
Eyes
,
and
a
Stags
Heart
;
so
,
not
to
fear
when
the
case
is
evidently
dreadful
,
is
a
sign
of
want
or
smallness
of
apprehension
.
Now
if
any
thing
ought
to
be
feard
,
in
this
Life
,
next
to
offending
God
,
I
will
not
say
it
is
death
;
I
will
not
meddle
with
the
disputes
of
Socrates
and
the
Academics
,
that
death
of
it self
is
neither
bad
nor
to
be
fear'd
:
But
I
will
affirm
that
this
kind
of
death
by
.
Shipwrack
is
to
be
fear'd
or
nothing
is
.
For
as
Homer
saith
,
it
is
a
grievous
,
dreadfull
,
and
an
unnatural
thing
to
perish
at
Sea
.
And
indeed
Aeneas
,
in
the
Storm
that
took
his
fleet
neer
Sicily
,
was
griev'd
that
he
had
not
dy'd
by
the
hand
of
the
brave
Diomedes
,
and
said
that
those
were
three
nay
four
times
happy
who
perish'd
with
Troy
.
No
Man
here
hath
lost
his
Life
;
the
Lord
our
Saviour
be
eternally
prais'd
for
it
:
But
in
truth
here
is
a
Ship
sadly
out
of
order
.
Well
,
we
must
take
care
to
have
the
damage
repair'd
.
Take
heed
we
do
not
run
a
ground
and
billage
her
.

How
Panurge

the
Good

when

Storm

WHat

fore

quoth
Panurge
,
Oh
ho
!
All
is
well
,
the
Storm
is
over

I
beseech
ye
,
be
so
kind
as
to
let
me
be
the
first
that
is
set
on
shoar
;
for
I
would
by
all
means
a
little
untru●s
a
point
.
—
Shall
I
help
you
still
,
here
,
let
me
see
,
I
'll
coyle
this
Rope
;
I
have
plenty
of
courage
,
and
of
fear
as
little
as
may
be
.
Give
it
me
yonder

honest
Tar
—
No
,
no
,
I
have
not
a
bit
of
fear

Indeed
that
same
Decumane
Wave
that
took
us
fore
and
aft
somewhat
alter'd
my
Pulse

Down
with
your
Sails

said

how
now
,
Fryar
Jhon

you
do
nothing
?
Is
it
time
for
us
to
drink
now
?
Who
can
tell
but
St.
Martin's
running
Footman
Belzebuth
may
still
be
hatching
us
some
further
mischie●
?
Shall
I
come
and
help
you
again
?
Pork
and
Pease
choak
me
,
if
I
do
not
heartily
repent
,
tho'
too
late
,
not
having
followed
the
Doctrine
of
the
good
Philosopher
who
tells
us

That
to
walk
by
the
Sea

and
to
navigate
by
the
Shoar

are
very
safe
and
pleasant
things

as
't
is
to
go
on

I
'll

as

(
who
had

of

fleea'd
and
bloody

having
held
a
Tackling

hearing
what
Pantagruel
had
said
,
told
him
,
You
may
believe
my
Lord
,
I
had
my
share
of
fear
,
as
well
as
Panurge
,
yet
I
spar'd
no
pains
in
lending
my
helping
Hand

I
consider'd
,
tha●
since
by
fatal
and
unavoidable
necessity
,
w●
must
all
die

it
is

blessed
Will
of
God
th●●
we
die
this
or
that

,
and
this
or
that
ki●
of
death
;
nevertheless
we
ought
to
implo●
,
invoke
,
pray
,
beseech
,
and
supplicate
him
;
but
yet
we
must
not
stop
there
;
it
behoveth
us
also
to
use
our
endeavours
on
our
side
▪
and
,
as
the
Holy
Writ
saith
,
to
cooperate
with
him
.
You
know
what
C.
Flaminius
the
Consul
said
,
when
by
Hannibal's
Policy
he
was
penn'd
up
near
the
Lake
of
Peruse
alias
Thrasymene

Friends

said
he
to
his
Soldiers

you
must
not
hope
to
get
out
of
this
place
barely
by
Vows
or
Prayers
to
the
Gods
;
no
,
't
is
by
Fortitude
and
Strength
we
must
escape
,
and
cut
our selves
a
way
with
the
edge
of
our
Swords
,
through
the
midst
of
our
Enemies

M.

the
Gods
is
not
obtain'd
by
idle
Vows
,
and
Womanish
Complaints
;
't
is
by
Vigilance
,
Labour
,
and
repeated
Endeavours
that
all
things
succeed
according
to
our
Wishes
and
Designs
.
If
a
Man
in
time
of
need
and
danger
is
negligent
,
heartless
,
and
lazy
,
in
vain
he
implores
the
Gods
;
they
are
then
justly
angry
and
incens'd
against
him
.
The
Devil
take
me
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
(
I
'll
go
his
halves
,
quoth
Panurge
)
if
the
Close
of
Sevillé
had
not
been
all
gather'd
,
vintag'd
,
glean'd
and
destroy'd
,
if
I
had
only
sung
Contra
hostium
insidias
(
matter
of
Breviary
)
like
all
the
rest
of
the
Monking
Devils
,
and
had
not
bestir'd
my self
to
save
the
Vineyard
as
I
did
,
dispatching
the
Truant
Piccaroons
of
Lern●
with
the
Staff
of
the
Cross
.
Let
her
sink
or
swim
a
Gods
Name
,
said
Panurge
,
all
's
one
to
Fryar
Jhon
,
he
doth
nothing
;
his
name
is
Fryar
Jhon
Doelittle
;
for
all
he
sees
me
here
a
sweating
and
puffing
to
help
with
all
my
might
this
honest
Tar
first
of
the
Name
.
—
Hark
you
me
,
dear
Soul
,
a
word
with
you
—
but
pray
be
not
angry
;
how
thick
do
you
judge
the
Planks
of
our
Ship
to
be
?
Some
two
good
inches
and
upwards
,
return'd
the
Pilot
,
don't
fear
.
Odskilderkins
,
said
Panurge
,
it
seems
then
we
are
within
two
Fingers
breadth
of
Damnation
.
Is
this
one
of
the
nine
Comforts
of
Matrimony
?
Ah
,
dear
Soul
,
you
do
well
to
measure
the
danger
by
the
Yard
of
fear
.
For
my
part
I
have
none
on
't
,
my
name
is
William
Dreadnought
.
As
for
Heart
I
have
more
than
enough
on
't
;
I
mean
none
of
your
Sheeps
Heart
;
but
of
Wolfs
Heart
,
the
courage
of
a
Bravoe
;
by
the
Pavilion
of
Mars
,
I
fear
nothing
but
danger
.

How
Panurge
was
said
to
have
been
afraid
,
without
reason
,
during
the
Storm
.
GOOD
morrow
,
Gentlemen
,
said
Panurge
,
Good
morrow
to
you
all
,
You
are
in
very
good
health
,
thanks
to
Heaven
,
and
your selves
?
You
are
all
heartily
well
come
,
and
in
good
time
.
Let
us
go
on
shoar
—
Here
,
Coxen
,
get
the
Ladder
over
the
Gunnel
,
Man
the
sides
,
Man
the
pinnace
,
and
get
her
by
the
Ships
side
.
—
Shall
I
yet
lend
you
a
hand
here
?
I
am
stark
mad
for
want
of
business
,
and
would
work
like
any
two
yoaks
of
Oxen.
—
Truly
this
is
a
fine
Place
,
and
these
look
like
a
very
good
People
.
—
Children
,
do
you
want
me
still
in
any
thing
,
do
not
spare
the
sweat
of
my
Body
,
for
godsake
.
Adam
(
that
is
man
)
was
made
to
labour
and
work
,
as
the
Birds
were
made
to
fly
,
our
Lord's
Will
is
that
we
get
our
bread
with
the
sweat
of
our
brows
,
not
idling
and
doing
nothing
like
this
tatterdemallion
of
a
Monk
here
,
this
Fryar
Jack
,
who
is
fain
to
drink
to
hearten
himself
up
,
and
dyes
for
fear
.
—
Rare
weather
.
—
I
now
find
the
answer
of
Anacharsis
,
the
noble
Philosopher
,
very
proper
;
being
ask'd
what
Ship
he
reckon'd
the
safest
,
he
reply'd
that
which
is
in
the
Harbour
:
he
made
a
yet
better
repartie
,
said
Pantagruel
,
when
some
body
inquiring
which
is
greater
,
the
number
of
the
living
,
or
that
of
the
dead
?
He
ask'd
them
amongst
which
of
the
two
they
reckon'd
?
those
that
are
at
Sea
?
ingeniously
implying
,
that
they
are
continually
in
danger
of
death
,
dying
live
,
and
living
dye
.
Portius
Cato
also
said
that
there
were
but
three
things
of
which
he
would
repent
;
That
is
,
if
ever
he
had
trusted
his
Wife
with
his
secret
,
if
he
had
idled
away
a
day
,
and
if
he
had
ever
gone
by
Sea
,
to
a
place
which
he
could
visit
by
Land
.
By
this
dignified
Frock
of
mine
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
to
Panurge
,
Friend
thou
hast
been
afraid
during
the
Storm
,
without
cause
or
reason
;
for
thou
wert
not
born
to
be
drowned
,
but
rather
to
be
hang'd
,
and
exalted
in
the
Air
,
or
to
be
roasted
in
the
midst
of
a
jolly
bonfire
.
My
Lord
,
would
you
have
a
good
Cloak
for
the
Rain
?
Leave
me
off
your
Wolf
and
Badger-skin
mantle
:
Let
Panurge
but
be
flead
,
and
cover
your self
with
his
hide
.
But
do
not
come
near
the
Fire
,
nor
near
your
Blacksmith's
Forges
a
God's
name
,
for
in
a
moment
you
would
see
it
in
ashes
.
Yet
be
as
long
as
you
please
in
the
Rain
,
Snow
,
Hail
,
nay
,
by
the
Devil's
maker
,
throw
your self
or
dive
down
to
the
very
bottom
of
the
Water
,
I
'll
ingage
you
'll
not
be
wet
at
all
.
Have
some
winter
Boots
made
of
it
,
they
'le
never
take
in
a
drop
of
Water
;
make
Bladders
of
it
to
lay
under
Boys
,
to
teach
them
to
swim
,
instead
of
Corks
,
and
they
will
learn
without
the
least
danger
.
His
Skin
then
,
said
Pantagruel
should
be
like
the
herb
called
,
true
maidens
Hair
,
which
never
takes
wet
nor
moistness
,
but
still
keeps
dry
,
though
you
lay
it
at
the
bottom
of
the
Water
as
long
as
you
please
,
and
for
that
reason
is
call'd
Adiantos
.
Friend
Panurge
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
,
I
pray
thee
never
be
afraid
of
Water
,
thy
life
for
mine
,
thou
art
threatn'd
with
a
contrary
Element
.
Ay
,
ay
,
reply'd
Panurge
,
but
the
Devil's
Cooks
dote
some
times
,
and
are
apt
to
make
horrid
blunders
as
well
as
others
,
often
putting
to
boyle
in
water
what
was
design'd
to
be
roasted
on
the
fire
,
like
the
head
Cooks
of
our
Kitchin
,
who
often
lard
Partridges
,
Queests
and
Stockdoves
with
intent
to
roast
them
,
one
wou'd
think
,
but
it
happens
sometimes
,
that
they
e'en
turn
the
Partridges
into
the
Pot
to
be
boyl'd
with
Cabbages
,
the
Queests
with
leek
Porradge
,
and
the
Stock-doves
with
Turnips
.
But
hark
you
me
,
good
Friends
,
I
protest
before
this
noble
Company
,
that
as
for
the
Chappel
which
I
vow'd
to
Monsieur
St.
Nicholas
,
between
Cande
,
and
Monsoreau
,
I
honestly
mean
that
it
shall
be
a
Chappel
,
alias
a
Lymbeck
of
Rosewater
,
which
shall
be
where
neither
Cow
nor
Calf
shall
be
fed
,
for
between
you
and
I
I
intend
to
throw
it
to
the
bottom
of
the
Water
.
Here
is
a
rare
Rogue
for
yee
,
said
Eusthenes
;
here
's
a
pure
Rogue
,
a
Rogue
in
grain
,
a
Rogue
enough
,
a
Rogue
and
a
half
.
He
is
resolv'd
to
make
good
the
Italian
Proverb
,
Passato
el
pericolo
è
gabato
el
Santo
.
The
Devil
was
sick
,
the
Devil
a
Monk
wou'd
be
;
The
Devil
was
well
,
and
the
Devil
a
Monk
he
'd
be
.

How
after
the
Storm
,
Pantagruel
went
on
Shore
in
the
Islands
of
the
Macreons
.
IMmediately
after
,
we
went
a
shoar
at
the
Port
of
an
Island
,
which
they
call'd
the
Island
of
the
Macreons
;
the
good
People
of
the
place
receiv'd
us
very
honourably
.
An
old
Macrobius
(
so
they
call'd
their
eldest
Elderman
)
desir'd
Pantagruel
to
come
to
the
Town-house
to
refresh
himself
,
and
eat
something
,
but
he
would
not
budge
a
foot
,
from
the
Mole
,
till
all
his
Men
were
landed
.
After
he
had
seen
them
,
he
gave
order
they
should
all
change
Cloaths
,
and
that
some
of
all
the
Stores
in
the
Fleet
,
should
be
brought
on
shoar
that
every
ships
Crew
might
live
well
,
which
was
accordingly
done
;
and
God
wot
how
they
all
top'd
,
and
carrouz'd
;
the
People
of
the
place
brought
them
Provisions
in
abundance
The
▪
Pantagrueliests
return'd
them
more
:
As
the
truth
is
,
their's
were
somewhat
damag'd
by
the
late
Storm
.
When
they
had
well
stuffed
the
insides
of
their
Doublets
,
Pantagruel
desired
every
one
to
lend
their
help
to
repair
the
damage
,
which
they
readily
did
.
It
was
easy
enough
to
resit
there
;
for
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
Island
were
Carpenters
,
and
all
such
handicrafts
as
are
seen
in
the
Arsenale
at
Venice
.
None
but
the
largest
Island
was
inhabited
,
having
three
Ports
,
and
ten
Parishes
;
the
rest
being
over-run
with
Wood
,
and
desert
,
much
like
the
Forest
of
Arden
.
We
entreated
the
old
Macrobius
to
shew
us
what
was
worth
seeing
in
the
Island
,
which
he
did
;
and
in
the
desert
and
dark
Forest
,
We
discover'd
several
old
ruined
Temples
,
Obeliscs
,
Pyramids
,
Monuments
,
and
ancient
Tombs
,
with
diverse
Inscriptions
,
and
Epitaphs
,
some
of
them
in
hieroglyphic
Characters
,
others
in
the
Gothic
Dialect
,
some
in
the
Arabic
,
Agarenian
,
SclaSclavonian
and
other
Tongues
:
Of
which
Epistemon
took
an
exact
Account
.
In
the
interim
Panurge
said
to
Fryar
Jhon
,
is
this
the
Island
of
the
Macreons
?
Macreon
signifies
in
Greek
an
old
Man
,
or
one
much
stricken
in
years
.
What
's
that
to
me
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
,
how
can
I
help
it
?
I
was
not
in
the
Country
when
they
Christen'd
it
.
Now
I
think
on
't
,
quoth
Panurge
,
I
believe
the
Name
of
Makerel
[
that
's
a
Bawd
in
French
]
was
deriv'd
from
it
:
for
,
procuring
is
the
Province
of
the
old
,
as
Buttock-riggling
is
that
of
the
young
.
Therefore
I
don't
know
but
this
may
be
the
Bawdy
or
Mackrel
Island
,
the
original
and
Prototype
of
the
Island
of
that
name
at
Pa●s
.
Let
's
go
and
drudge
for
Cock-Oysters
.
Old
Macrobius
ask'd
in
the
Ionick
Tongue
,
how
,
and
by
what
industry
and
labour
Pantagruel
got
to
their
Port
that
day
,
there
having
been
such
blustering
weather
,
and
such
a
dreadful
Storm
at
Sea
.
Pantagruel
told
him
,
that
the
Almighty
preserver
of
mankind
had
regarded
the
Simplicity
,
and
sincere
Affection
of
his
Servants
,
who
did
not
travel
for
Gain
or
sordid
Profit
,
the
sole
design
of
their
Voyage
being
a
studious
desire
to
know
,
see
,
and
visit
the
Oracle
of
Bacb●●
,
and
take
the
word
of
the
Bottle
upon
some
difficulties
offer'd
by
one
of
the
Company
;
nevertheless
this
had
not
been
without
great
Affliction
,
and
evident
danger
of
Shipwrack
.
After
that
,
he
ask'd
him
what
he
judg'd
to
be
the
cause
of
that
terrible
Tempest
,
and
if
the
adjacent
Seas
were
thus
frequently
subject
to
Storms
,
as
in
the
Ocean
are
the
Ratz
of
Sammaieu
,
Maumusson
,
and
in
the
Mediterranean
Sea
the
Gulph
of
Sataly
,
Montargentan
,
Piombino
,
Capo
Melio
in
the
Morea
,
the
Streights
of
Gibraltar
,
Faro
di
Messina
,
and
others
.

.
How
the
good
Macrobius
gave
us
an
Account
of
the
Mansion
,
and
decease
of
the
Heroes
.
THE
good
Macrobius
then
answer'd
;
Friendly
strangers
,
this
Island
is
one
of
the
Sporades
,
not
of
your
Sporades
that
lye
in
the
Carpathian
Sea
,
but
one
of
the
Sporades
of
the
Ocean
;
in
former
times
rich
,
frequented
,
wealthy
,
populous
,
full
of
Traffick
,
and
in
the
Dominions
of
the
Ruler
of
Britain
:
but
now
by
Course
of
time
,
and
in
these
latter
Ages
of
the
world
,
poor
and
desolate
as
you
see
.
In
this
dark
Forest
above
Seventy
eight
thousand
Persian
Leagues
in
Compass
,
is
the
dwelling
place
of
the
Daemons
and
Heroes
,
that
are
grown
old
,
and
we
believe
that
some
one
of
them
dy'd
Yesterday
;
since
the
Comet
,
which
we
saw
for
three
days
before
together
,
shines
no
more
:
and
now
't
is
likely
,
that
at
his
Death
there
arose
this
horrible
Storm
;
for
while
they
are
alive
all
Happiness
attends
both
this
and
the
adjacent
Islands
,
and
a
setled
Calm
end
Serenity
.
At
the
Death
of
every
one
●
them
we
commonly
hear
in
the
Forest
●ud
and
mournful
groans
,
and
the
whole
●●nd
is
infested
with
Pestilence
,
Earthquakes
,
laundations
and
other
Calamities
;
the
Air
with
Fogs
and
obscurity
,
and
the
Sea
with
Storms
and
Hurricanes
.
What
you
tell
us
,
seems
to
me
likely
enough
,
said
Pantagruel
.
For
as
a
Torch
or
Candle
,
as
long
as
it
hath
Life
enough
and
is
lighted
,
shines
round
about
,
disperses
its
Light
,
delights
those
that
are
near
it
,
yields
them
its
Service
and
Clear●ess
,
and
never
causes
any
pain
or
displeasure
;
but
as
soon
as
't
is
extinguished
,
its
Smoak
and
Evaporation
infects
the
Air
,
offends
the
By-standers
,
and
is
noisome
to
all
;
so
,
as
long
as
those
noble
and
renowned
Souls
●●habit
their
Bodies
,
Peace
,
Profit
,
Pleasure
,
and
Honour
never
leave
the
places
where
they
abide
;
but
as
soon
as
they
leave
them
,
both
the
Continent
and
adjacent
Islands
are
annoy'd
with
great
Commotions
;
in
the
Air
,
Fogs
,
Darkness
,
Thunder
,
Hail
,
Tremblings
,
Pulsati●ns
,
Arietations
of
the
Earth
,
Storms
and
Hurricanes
at
Sea
,
together
with
sad
Com●aints
amongst
the
People
,
Broaching
of
Re●ons
,
Changes
in
Governments
,
and
Ruins
of
Commonwealths
.
We
had
a
sad
instance
of
this
lately
,
said
Eustemon
,
at
the
Death
of
that
valiant
and
learned
Knight
William
du
Bellay
,
during
whose
Life
France
enjoy'd
so
much
Happiness
,
that
all
the
rest
of
the
world
look'd
upon
it
with
Envy
,
sought
Friendship
with
it
,
and
stood
in
awe
of
its
Power
;
but
soon
after
his
decease
it
hath
for
a
considerable
time
been
the
Scorn
of
the
rest
of
the
world
.
Thus
,
said
Pantagruel
,
Anchises
being
dead
at
Drepany
in
Sicily
,
Aeneas
was
dreadfully
tost
and
endanger'd
by
a
Storm
,
and
perhaps
for
the
same
reason
Herod
,
that
Tyrant
and
cruel
King
of
Judea
,
finding
himself
near
the
Pangs
of
a
horrid
kind
of
Death
,
for
he
dy'd
of
a
Phthiriasis
,
devour'd
by
Vermin
and
Lice
;

foreseeing
that
the

would
make

caus'd

to
be
Summoned

fraudulently
pretending
that
he
had
some
things
of

to
impart
to
them

They
made
their
personal
Appearance
;
whereupon
he
caus'd
them
all
to
be
shut
up
in
the
Hippodrome
of
the
Seraglio
;
then
said
to
his
Sister
Salome
,
and
Alexander
her
Husband
;
I
am
certain
that
the
Jews
will
rejoyce
at
my
Death
,
but
,
if
you
will
observe
and
perform
what
I
will
tell
you
,
my
Funeral
shall
be
honourable
,
and
there
will
be
a
general
Mourning
;
As
soon
as
you
see
me
dead

let
my
Guards
,
to
whom
I
have
already
given
strict
Commission
to
that
purpose
,
kill
all
the
Noblemen
and
Magistrates
that
are
secur'd
in
the
Hippodrome

By
these
means
all
Jewry
shall
in
spight
of
themselves
be
oblig'd
to
mourn
and
lament
,
and
Foreigners
will
imagine
it
to
be
for
my
Death
,
as
if
some
Heroic
Soul
had
left
her
Body

Pantagruel's
Discourse
of
the
Decease
of
Heroic
Souls
;
and
of
the
dreadful
Prodigies
that
happen'd
before
the
Death
of
the
late
Lord
de
Langey
.
I
Would
not
,
continu'd
Pantagruel
,
have
miss'd
the
Storm
that
hath
thus
disorder'd
us
were
I
also
to
have
miss'd
the
relation
of
these
thing
told
us
by
this
good
Macrobius
.
Neither
am
●
unwilling
to
believe
what
he
said
of
a
Co●●
that
appears
in
the
Sky
some
days
before
such
a
Decease
.
For
some
of
those
Souls
are
so
Noble
,
so
Pretious
,
and
so
Heroic
,
that
Heaven
gives
us
notice
of
their
departing
,
some
days
before
it
happens
.
And
as
a
Prudent
Physician
seeing
by
some
Symptoms
that
his
Patient
draws
towards
his
end
,
some
days
before
,
gives
notice
of
it
to
his
Wife
,
Children
,
Kindred
,
and
Friends
,
that
,
in
that
little
time
he
hath
yet
to
live
,
they
may
admonish
him
to
settle
all
things
in
his
Family
,
to
tutor
and
instruct
his
Children
as
much
as
he
can
,
recommend
his
Relict
to
his
Friends
,
in
her
Widowhood
,
declare
what
he
knows
to
be
necessary
about
a
Provision
for
the
Orphans
,
that
he
may
not
be
surpris'd
by
Death
without
making
his
Will
,
and
may
take
care
of
his
Soul
and
Family
;
In
the
same
manner
the
Heavens
,
as
it
were
,
joyful
for
the
approaching
reception
of
those
blessed
Souls
,
seem
to
make
Bonfires
by
those
Comets
and
blazing
Meteors
,
which
they
at
the
same
time
kindly
design
should
Prognosticate
to
us
here
,
that
in
few
days
one
of
those
venerable
Souls
is
to
leave
her
Body
,
and
this
Terrestrial
Globe
.
Not
altogether
unlike
this
was
what
was
formerly
done
at
Athens
by
the
Judges
of
the
Are●pagus
.
For
when
they
gave
their
Verdict
to
cast
or
clear
the
Culprits
that
were
try'd
before
them
,
they
us'd
certain
notes
according
to
the
substance
of
the
Sentences
;
by
Θ.
signifying
Condemnation
to
Death
;
by
T.
Absolution
;
by
A.
Ampliation
or
a
Demur
,
when
the
case
was
not
sufficiently
examin'd
.
Thus
having
publickly
set
up
those
Letters
,
they
eas'd
the
Relations
and
Friends
of
the
Prisoners
,
and
such
others
as
desir'd
to
know
their
Doom
,
of
their
doubts
.
Likewise
by
these
Comets
,
as
in
etherial
Characters
,
the
Heavens
silently
say
to
us
,
Make
haste
,
Mortals
,
if
you
would
know
or
learn
of
these
blessed
Souls
any
thing
concerning
the
publick
good
,
or
your
private
Interest
;
for
,
their
Catastrophe
is
near
,
which
being
past
,
you
will
vainly
wish
for
them
afterwards
.
The
good
natur'd
Heavens
still
do
more
;
and
,
that
Mankind
may
be
declar'd
unworthy
of
the
injoyment
of
those
Renown'd
Souls
,
they
fright
and
astonish
us
with
Prodigies
,
Monsters
,
and
other
foreboding
Signs
,
that
thwart
the
Order
of
Nature
.
Of
this
we
had
an
instance
several
days
before
the
decease
of
the
Heroick
Soul
of
the
Learned
and
Valiant
Chevalier
de
Langey
,
of
whom
you
have
already
spoken
.
I
remember
it
,
said
Epistemon
,
and
my
Heart
still
trembles
within
me
,
when
I
think
on
the
many
dreadful
Prodigies
that
we
saw
five
or
six
days
before
he
dy'd
.

yet
not
without
foreseeing
that

would
in
a
short
time
be
depriv'd
of
a
Knight
so
accomplish'd
and
necessary
for
its
Glory
and
Protection
,
and
that

claim'd
him
again
as
its
due
.
By
the
tufted

of
my
Cowle
,
cry'd
Fryar
Jhon
,
I
am
e'en
resolv'd
to
become
a
Scholar
before
I
die
.
I
have
a
pretty
good
Head-piece
of
my
own
,
you
must
own
.
Now
pray
give
me
leave
to
ask
you
a
civil
Question
;
Can
these
same
Heroes
and
Demigods
you
talk
of
die
?
May
I
never
be
damn'd
,
if
I
was
not
so
much
a
Lobcock
as
to
believe
they
had
been
Immortal
like
so
many
fine
Angels
;
Heaven
forgive
me
!
but
this
most
Reverend
Father
Macroby
tells
us
,
They
die
at
l●st
.
We
all
must

return'd
Pantagruel
.
The
Stoicks
held
them
all
to
be
Mor●●l
,
except
one
,
who
alone
is
Immortal
,
Impossible
,
Invisible
.
Pindar
plainly
saith
,
That
there
is
no
more
Thread
,
that
is
to
say
,
no
more
Life
spun
from
the
Distaff
and
Flax
of
the
hard-hearted
Fates
for
the
Goddesses
●am●d●yades
,
than
there
is
for
those
Trees
〈◊〉
are
preserv'd
by
them
,
which
are
good
sturdy
downright
Oaks
,
whence
they
deriv'd
their
Original

to
the
Opinion
of

in

;
with
whom
concurs

total
Sum

is

res●lt
of

reckon'd
their
life
to
be
9720

four

numbers
orderly
arising

one

the

added

●●d
multiplied

every

,
amounts
to
forty
;
these
forties
being
reduc'd
into
Triangles
by
five
times
,
make
up
the
total
of
the
aforesaid
number
.
See
Plutarch
in
his
Book
about
the
Cessation
of
Oracles
.
This
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
,
is
not
matter
of
Breviary
,
I
may
believe
as
little
or
as
much
of
it
as
you
and
I
please
.
I
believe
,
said
Pantagruel
,
that
all
Intellectual
Souls
are
exempted
from
Atropos's
Scissers
.
They
are
all
immortal
whether
they
be
of
Angels
,
of
Demons
,
or
Human
:
Yet
I
'll
tell
you
a
story
concerning
this
,
that
's
very
strange
,
but
is
written
and
affirm'd
by
several
learned
Historians
.
CHAP.

How
Pantagruel
related
a
very
sad
story
of
the
Death
of
the
Heroes
.
EPITHERSES
the
Father
of
Emilia●
the
Rhetorician
,
sailing
from
Greece
to
Italy
,
in
a
Ship
freighted
with
divers
Goods
,
and
Passengers
,
at
night
,
the
wind
fail'd'em
near
the
Echinades
,
some
Islands
that
lye
between
the
Morea
and
Tunis
,
and
the
Vessel
was
driven
near
Paxos
.
When
they
were
got
thither
,
some
of
the
passengers
being
asleep
,
others
awake
,
the
rest
eating
and
drinking
,
a
voice
was
heard
that
call'd
aloud
,
Thamous
;
which
cry
surpris'd
them
all
.
This
same
Thamous
was
their
Pilot
,
an
Egyptian
by
birth
,
but
known
by
name
only
to
some
few
Travellers
.
The
voice
was
heard
a
second
time
calling
Thamous
,
in
a
frigthful
Tone
,
and
none
making
answer
but
trembling
and
remaining
silent
,
the
Voice
was
heard
a
third
time
,
more
dreadfull
than
before
.
This
caus'd
Thamous
to
answer
;
here
am
I
,
What
dost
thou
call
me
for
?
What
wilt
thou
have
me
do
?
Then
the
Voice
louder
than
before
,
bad
him
publish
when
he
should
come
to
Paloda
,
That
the
great
God
Pan
was
dead
.
Epitherses
related
,
that
all
the
Mariners
,
and
Passengers
,
having
heard
this
were
extreamly
amaz'd
and
frighted
;
and
that
consulting
among
themselves
,
whether
they
had
b●st
conceal
or
divulge
what
the
Voice
had
injoyn'd
,
Thamous
said
,
his
advice
was
,
That
if
they
happen'd
to
have
a
fair
wind
,
they
sh●u●d
proceed
without
mentioning
a
word
on
't
,
but
if
they
chanc'd
to
be
becalm'd
,
he
would
publish
what
he
had
heard
:
Now
when
they
were
near
Paloda
they
had
no
Wind
,
neither
were
they
in
any
Current
.
T●●m●us
then
getting
up
on
the
top
of
the
Ship
's
forecastle
,
and
casting
his
Eyes
on
the
shoar
,
said
that
he
had
been
commanded
to
proclaim
,
that
the
great
God
Pan
was
dead
.
The
words
were
hardly
out
of
his
Mouth
,
when
deep
Groans
,
great
Lamentations
,
and
Shrieks
,
not
of
one
Person
but
of
many
together
,
were
heard
from
the
Land
.
The
News
of
this
,
(
many
being
present
then
)
was
soon
spread
at
R●me
;
insomuch
that
Tiberius
,
who
was
then
Emperor
,
sen●
for
this
Thamous
,
and
having
heard
him
,
gave
credit
to
his
words
,
and
inquiring
of
the
Learned
in
his
Court
and
at
Rome
,
who
was
that
Pan
?
He
found
by
their
relation
that
he
was
the
Son
of
Mercury
and
Penelope
,
as
Herodotus
,
and
Cicero
in
his
third
book
of
the
nature
of
the
Gods
,
had
written
before
.
For
my
part
,
I
understand
i●
of
that
great
Saviour
of
the
Faithfull
,
who
was
shamefully
put
to
Death
at
Jerusalem
by
the
envy
and
wickedness
of
the
Doctors
.
Priests
,
and
Monks
of
the
M●saie
Law
.
And
methinks
,
my
Interpretation
is
not
improper
,
for
he
may
lawfully
be
said
in
the
Greek
Tongue
to
be
Pan
▪
since
he
is
our
All
For
all
that
we
are
,
all
that
we
live
,
all
that
we
have
,
all
that
we
hope
,
is
him
,
by
him
▪
●●●m
him
,
and
in
him
.
He
is
the
good
●an
,
the
great
Shepherd
,
who
as
the
loving
Sheperd
C●●yden
affirms
,
hath
not
only
a
tend●r
Love
and
Affection
for
his
Sheep
,
but
〈◊〉
for
their
Shepherds
.
At
his
death
complaints
,
sighs
,
fears
and
lamentations
were
〈◊〉
●ad
through
the
whole
Fabric
of
the
univers●
,
whether
Heavens
,
Land
,
Sea
,
or
Hell
.
The
time
also
concurs
with
this
interpretation
of
mine
;
for
this
most
good
,
most
mighty
Pan
,
our
only
Saviour
,
dyed
near
Je●●salem
during
the
Reign
of
Tiberius
Caesar
.
Pantagruel
having
ended
this
discourse
,
remain'd
silent
,
and
full
of
Contemplation
;
a
little
while
after
,
we
saw
the
tears
flow
out
of
his
eyes
as
big
as
Ostridg's
Eggs.
God
take
me
presently
if
I
tell
you
one
single
syllable
of
a
Lye
in
the
matter

As
for
his
Cloathing
't

Comical
enough

Conscience

both

;
for
he
wears
Grey

Cold

nothing

nought

with

You
will
do
me
a
kindness
,
said

,
if
as
you
have
described

you
will
also
give
me
an
Account
of
his
Shape

Prethee
do

dear
Cod
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
,
for
I
have
found
him
in

follow

moveable

?
With
all
my
heart
,
answer'd
X●●●manes
,
We
may
chance
to
hear
more
of
him
as
we
touch
at
the
Wild
Island
,
the
Dominion
of
the
Squob
Chitterlings
his
Enemies
;
against
whom
he
is
eternally
at
odds
,
and
were
it
not
for
the
help
of
the
noble
Carnaval
their
Protector
,
and
good
Neighbour
,
this
Meagre-look'd
Lozelly
Shrovetide
would
long
before
this
have
made
sad
work
among
them
,
and
rooted
them
out
of
their
Habitation
.
Are
these

Chitterlings
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
,
Male
or
Female
,
Angels

Mortals

Women

Maids

They

Female

Maids

The

me

said

I
been't

What
a
shameful
disorder
in

it
not

Let

No

Suppose

in
some
ancient
Apologues
,
reply'd
Pantagruel
.
Physis
(
that
is
to
say
Nature
)
at
her
first
Burthen
,
begat
Beauty
,
and
Harmony
,
without
Carnal
Copulation
,
being
of
her self
very
Fruitful
and
Prolifick
:
Antiphysis
,
who
ever
was
the
Counter
part
of
Nature
,
immediately
out
of
a
Malicious
spight
against
her
for
Beatiful
and
Honourable
Productions
,
in
opposition
,
begot
Amodunt
and
Dissonance
,
by
Copulation
with
Tellumon
.
Their
Heads
were
round
like
a
Football
,
and
not
gently
flatted
on
both
sides
like
the
common
shape
of
Men.
Their
Ears
stood
prick'd
up
like
those
of
Asses
;
their
Eyes
,
as
hard
as
those
of
Crabs
,
and
without
Brows
,
star'd
out
of
their
Heads
,
fix'd
on
Bones
like
those
of
our
Heels
;
their
Feet
were
round
like
Tennis-Balls
;
their
Arms
and
Hands
turn'd
backwards
towards
their
Shoulders
,
and
they
walk'd
on
their
Heads
,
continually
turning
round
like
a
B●ll
,
topsie-turvy
Heels
over
Head
.
Yet
(
as
you
know
that
Apes
esteem
their
Young
the
handsomest
in
the
World
)
Antiphysis
extolld
her
off-spring
and
strove
to
prove
,
that
their
shape
was
handsomer
and
neater
,
than
that
of
the
Children
of
Physis
;
saying
that
thus
to
have
Spherical
Heads
,
and
Feet
,
and
walk
in
a
circular
Manner
,
wheeling
round
,
had
something
in
it
of
the
perfection
of
the
divine
Power
,
which
makes
all
beings
eternally
turn
in
that
fashion
;
and
that
to
have
our
Feet
uppermost
and
the
Head
below
them
,
was
to
imitate
the
Creator
of
the
universe
,
the
Hair
being
like
the
roots
,
and
the
Legs
like
the
branches
of
Man
;
for
Trees
are
better
planted
in
the
Earth
by
the
roots
,
than
they
could
be
by
their
branches
.
By
this
demonstration
,
she
imply'd
that
her
Children
were
much
more
to
be
prais'd
,
for
being
like
a
standing
Tree
,
than
those
of
Physis
that
made
the
figure
of
a
Tree
upside
down
:
As
for
the
Arms
and
Hands
,
she
pretended
to
prove
that
they
were
more
justly
turn'd
towards
the
shoulders
,
because
that
part
of
the
Body
ought
not
to
be
without
a
defence
,
while
the
fore
part
is
duly
fenc'd
with
Teeth
,
which
a
Man
cannot
only
use
to
chew
,
but
also
to
defend
himself
against
those
things
that
offend
him
.
Thus
by
the
testimony
,
and
astipulation
of
the
brute
Beasts
,
she
drew
all
the
witless
herd
,
and
mob
of
Fools
into
her
opinion
,
and
was
admir'd
by
all
brainless
and
nonsensical
People
.
Since
that
,
she
begot
the
hypocritical
Tribes
of
eves-dropping
dissemblers
,
superstitious
Popemongers
and
Priestridden
biggots
,
the
Frantic
Pistole●s
,
the
Scrapers
of
Benefices
,
Apparitors
with
the
Devil
in
th●m
,
and
other
Grinders
and
Squeezers
of
Livings
,
your
mad
Herb-stinking
Hermits

gulligu●●ed
dunces
of
the
Cowl
,
Church-vermin
,
false
zealots
,
devourers
of
the
Substance
of
Men
,
and
many
more
other
deform'd
and
ill
favour'd
Monsters
,
made
in
spight
of

How
Pantagruel
discover'd
a
Monstrous
Physetere
,
or
Whirlpool
near
the
Wild
Island
.
ABOUT
Sun
set
coming
near
the
Wild
Island
,
Pantagruel
spy'd
afar
off
a
huge
monstrous
Physetere
,
a
sort
of
a
Whale
(
which
some
call
a
Whirl
pool
,
)
that
came
right
upon
us
neighing
,
snorting
,
rais'd
above
the
Waves
higher
than
our
main
Tops
,
and
spouting
Water
all
the
way
into
the
Air
,
before
it self
,
like
a
large
River
falling
from
a
Mountain
:
Pantagruel
show'd
it
to
the
Pilot
,
and
to
Xenomanes
.
By
the
Pilot's
advice
the
Trumpets
of
the
Thalamege
were
sounded
,
to
warn
all
the
Fleet
to
stand
close
and
look
to
themselves
;
This
Alarm
being
given
,
all
the
Ships
,
Gallions
,
Frigats
,
Brigantines
,
(
according
to
their
Naval
discipline
)
placed
themselves
in
the
Order
and
figure
of
an
Y.
[
Vpsilon
,
]
the
Letter
of
Pythagoras
,
as
Cranes
do
in
their
flight
,
and
like
an
Angle
,
in
whose
Cone
and
Basis
the
Thalamege
plac'd
her self
ready
to
fight
smartly
:
Fryar
Ihon
with
the
Granadeers
,
got
on
the
Forecastle
.
Poor
Panurge
began
to
Cry
and
Howl
worse
then
ever
Babillebabou
,
said
he
,
shruging
up
his
shoulders
,
quivering
all
over
with
fear
,
There
will
be
the
Devil
upon
Dun.
This
is
a
worse
business
than
That
t'other
Day
;
let
us
fly
,
let
us
fly
;
old
Nick
take
me
if
it
is
not
Leviathan
,
describ'd
by
the
noble
Prophet
Moses
,
in
the
life
of
Patient
Job
.
It
will
swallow
us
all
,
Ships
and
Men
,
Shag
,
Rag
,
and
Bobtail
,
like
a
dose
of
Pills
.
Alas
,
it
will
make
no
more
of
us
,
and
we
shall
hold
no
more
room
in
its
hellish
Jaws
,
than
a
Sugar-plum
in
an
Asses
Throat
.
Look
,
Look
,
't
is
upon
us
,
let
's
wheel
off
,
whip
it
away
and
get
ashoar
.
I
believe
't
is
the
very
individual
Sea
Monster
,
that
was
formerly
design'd
to
devour
Andromeda
;
we
are
all
undone
.
Oh!
for
some
valiant
Perseus
here
now
to
kill
the
Dog
.
I
'll
do
it's
business
presently
,
said
Pantagruel
;
fear
nothing
.
Odds-belly
,
said
Panurge
,
remove
the
cause
of
my
fear
then
;
when
,
the
Devil
,
would
you
have
a
Man
be
afraid
,
but
when
there
is
so
much
Cause
?
If
your
Destiny
be
such
as
Fryar
Ihon
was
saying
a
while
ago
(
reply'd
Pantagruel
)
you
ought
to
be
afraid
of
Pyrois
,
Eöus
,
Aethon
and
Phlegon
the
Suns
Coach-horses
,
that
breath
Fire
at
the
Nostrils
,
and
not
of
Physeters
,
that
spout
nothing
but
water
at
the
Snout
and
Mouth
.
Their
water
will
not
endanger
your
Life
;
and
that
Element
will
rather
save
and
preserve
,
than
hurt
or
endanger
you
.
Ay
,
ay
,
trust
to
that
,
and
hang
me
,
quoth
Panurge
,
yours
is
a
very
pretty
Fancy
;
Od's
Fish
,
did
I
not
give
you
a
sufficient
account
of
the
Elements
Transmutation
,
and
the
Blunders
that
are
made
of
Roast
for
Boyld
,
and
Boyld
for
Roast
?
Alas
here
't
is
:
I
'le
go
hide
my self
below
.
We
are
dead
Men
every
Mother's
Son
of
us
;
I
see
upon
our
main
Top
that
merciless
Hagg
Atropos
with
her
Scizzers
new
ground
,
ready
to
cut
our
Threads
all
at
one
Snip
.
Oh!
how
dreadful
and
abominable
thou
art
;
Thou
hast
drown'd
a
good
many
,
besides
us
,
who
never
made
their
Brags
of
it
.
Did
it
but
spout
good
brisk
,
dainty
,
delicious
White-wine
,
instead
of
this
damn'd
bitter
Salt-water
,
one
might
better
bear
with
it
,
and
there
would
be
some
cause
to
be
Patient
,
like
that
English
Lord
who
being
doom'd
to
dye
,
and
had
leave
to
choose
what
kind
of
Death
he
would
,
chose
to
be
drown'd
in
a
Butt
of
M●lmsie
.
Here
it
is
.
—
Oh
,
oh
,
Devil
,
Sathanas
,
Leviathan
,
I
can't
abide
to
look
upon
thee
,
thou
art
so
abominable
Ugly
.

Go
to
the
Bar
,
go
take
the
Pettifoggers

How
the
monstrous
Physetere
was
slain
by
Pantagruel
.
THE
Physetere
coming
between
the
Ships
and
the
Gallions
,
threw
water
by
whole
Tuns
upon
them
,
as
if
it
had
been
the
Catadupes
of
the
Nile
in
Ethiopia
.
On
the
other
side
,
Arrows
,
Darts
,
Gleaves
,
Javelins
,
Spears
,
Harping
Irons
,
and
Partizan
▪
fl●w
upon
it
like
Hail
.
Fryar
Ihon
did
not
spare
himself
in
it
.
Panurge
was
half
dead
for
fear
.
The
Artillery
roar'd
and
thunder'd
like
mad
,
and
seem'd
to
gawl
it
in
good
earnest
,
but
did
but
little
good
;
for
,
the
great
Iron
and
Brass-Cannon-shot
entring
it's
Skin
,
seem'd
to
melt
like
Tiles
in
the
Sun
.
Pantagruel
then
considering
the
weight
and
Exigency
of
the
matter
,
stretched
out
his
Arms
,
and
shew'd
what
he
could
do
.
You
tell
us
,
and
it
is
recorded
that
Commod●●
the
Roman
Emperour
could
shoot
with
a
Bow
so
dextrously
that
at
a
good
distance
he
would
let
fly
an
Arrow
through
a
Child's
fingers
,
and
never
touch
them
.
You
also
tell
us
of
an
Indian
Archer
,
who
liv'd
when
Alexander
the
Great
conquer'd
India
,
and
was
so
skilful
in
drawing
the
Bow
,
that
at
a
considerable
distance
he
would
shoot
his
Arrows
thro'
a
Ring
,
though
they
were
three
Cubits
long
,
and
their
Iron
so
large
and
weighty
that
with
them
he
us'd
to
pierce
steel
Cutlasses
,
thick
Shields
,
steel
Breast-plates
,
and
generally
what
he
did
hit
,
how
firm
,
resisting
,
hard
and
strong
soever
it
were
.
You
also
tell
us
wonders
off
the
Industry
of
the
ancient
Francks
,
who
were
preferred
to
all
others
in
point
of
Archery
,
and
when
they
hunted
either
Black
or
Dun
Beasts
,
us'd
to
rub
the
head
of
their
Arrows
with
Hellebore
,
because
the
flesh
of
the
Venison
struck
with
such
an
Arrow
,
was
more
tender
,
dainty
,
wholsome
and
delicious
,
(
paring
off
nevertheless
the
part
that
was
touch'd
,
round
about
.
)
You
also
talk
of
the
Parthians
who
us'd
to
shoot
backwards
more
dextrously
than
other
Nations
forwards
;
and
also
celebrate
the
Skill
of
the
Scythians
in
that
Art
,
who
sent
once
to
Darius
King
of
Persia
an
Embassador
that
made
him
a
present
of
a
Bird
,
a
Frog
,
a
Mouse
and
five
Arrows
,
without
speaking
one
word
;
and
being
ask'd
,
what
those
Presents
meant
,
and
if
he
had
Commission
to
say
any
thing
,
answer'd
that
he
had
not
;
Which
puzzled
and
gravell'd
Darius
very
much
;
till
Gobrias
one
of
the
seven
Captains
that
had
kill'd
the
Magi
explain'd
it
,
saying
to
Darius
,
By
these
Gifts
and
Offerings
the
Scythians
silently
tell
you
,
that
except
the
Persians
like
Birds
fly
up
to
Heaven
,
like
Mice
hide
themselves
near
the
Centre
of
the
Earth
,
or
like
Frogs
dive
to
the
very
bottom
of
Ponds
and
Lakes
,
they
shall
be
destroyed
by
the
Power
and
Arrows
of
the
Scythians
.
The
Noble
Pantagruel
was
without
Comparison
,
more
admirable
yet
in
the
Art
of
Shooting
and
Darting
;
for
with
his
dreadful
Piles
and
Darts
,
nearly
resembling
the
huge
Beams
that
support
the
Bridges
of
Nantes
,
Saumur
,
Bergerac
,
and
at
Paris
the
Millers
and
the
Changers
Bridges
,
in
length
,
size
,
weight
,
and
Ironwork
,
he
at
a
Mile's
distance
would
open
an
Oyster
and
never
touch
the
edges
;
he
would
snuff
a
Candle
without
putting
it
out
,
would
shoot
a
Magpy
in
the
Eye
,
take
off
a
Boot's
under-soal
,
or
a
Riding-hood's
lining
without
soylling
them
a
bit
,
turn
over
every
leaf
of
Fryar
Jhon's
Breviary
one
after
another
,
and
not
tear
one
.
With
such
Darts
,
of
which
there
was
good
store
in
his
Ship
,
at
the
first
blow
he
ran
the
Physetere
in
at
the
Forehead
so
furiously
,
that
he
pierc'd
both
its
Jaws
and
Tongue
,
so
that
from
that
time
to
this
it
no
more
open'd
its
Guttural
Trap-door
▪
nor
drew
and
spouted
water
.
At
the
second
blow
he
put
out
its
right
Eye
,
and
at
the
third
its
left
;
and
we
had
All
the
pleasure
to
see
the
Physetere
bearing
those
three
Horns
in
its
Forehead
,
somewhat
leaning
forwards
in
an
equilateral
Triangle
.
Mean
while
it
turn'd
about
to
and
fro
staggering
and
straying
like
one
stunn'd
,
blinded
,
and
taking
his
leave
of
the
World
.
Pantagruel
not
satisfy'd
with
this
,
let
fly
another
Dart
,
which
took
the
Monster
under
the
Tail
likewise
sloping
;
then
with
three
other
on
the
Chyne
in
a
perpendicular
line
divided
its
Flank
from
the
Tail
to
the
Snout
at
an
equal
distance
;
then
he
larded
it
with
fifty
on
one
side
,
and
after
that
to
make
even
work
,
he
darted
as
many
on
its
other
side
;
so
that
the
Body
of
the
Physetere
seem'd
like
the
hulk
of
a
Gallion
with
three
Masts
,
joyn'd
by
a
competent
dimension
of
its
Beams
,
as
if
they
had
been
the
Ribs
and
chainwales
of
the
Keel
,
which
was
a
pleasant
sight
.
The
Physetere
then
giving
up
the
Ghost
,
turn'd
it self
upon
its
back
,
as
all
dead
Fishes
do
,
and
being
thus
overturn'd
with
the
Beams
and
Darts
upside
down
in
the
Sea
,
it
seem'd
a
Scolopendria
or
Centipede
,
as
that
Serpent
is
describ'd
by
the
ancient
Sage
Nicander
.

How
Pantagruel
went
on
shoar
in
the
Wild
Island
,
the
ancient
abode
of
the
Chitterlings
.
THe
Boat
's
Crew
of
the
Ship
Lantera
tow'd
the
Physetere
ashoar
on
the
Neighbouring
shoar
(
which
happened
to
be
the
Wild
Island
)
to
make
an
Anatomical
Dissection
of
its
Body
,
and
save
the
fat
of
its
Kidneys
,
which
,
they
said
,
was
very
useful
and
necessary
for
the
cure
of
a
certain
Distemper
which
they
call'd
want
of
Money
.
As
for
Pantagruel
he
took
no
manner
of
notice
of
the
Monster
,
for
he
had
seen
many
such
,
nay
bigger
in
the
Gallick
Ocean
.
Yet
he
condescended
to
land
in
the
Wild
Island
,
to
dry
and
refresh
some
of
his
Men
(
whom
the
Physetere
had
wetted
and
bedawb'd
)
at
a
small
Desert
Sea-port
towards
the
South
,
seated
near
a
fine
pleasant
Grove
,
out
of
which
flow'd
a
delicious
Brook
of
fresh
,
clear
,
and
purling
water
.
Here
they
pitch'd
their
Tents
,
and
set
up
their
Kitchins
,
nor
did
they
spare
Fewel
.
Every
one
having
shifted
,
as
they
thought
fi●
,
Fryar
Jhon
rang
the
Bell
,
and
the
Cloth
was
immediately
laid
,
and
Supper
brought
in
.
Pantagruel
eating
chearfully
with
his
Men
▪
much
about
the
second
Course
,
perceived
certain
little
sly
Chitterlings
clammering
up
a
high
Tree
near
the
Pantry
as
still
as
so
many
Mice
.
Which
made
him
ask
Xenomanes
,
what
kind
of
Creatures
these
were
,
taking
them
for
Squirrels
,
We●sels
,
Martins
,
or
Hermins
.
They
are
Chitterlings
,
reply'd
Xenomanes
.
This
is
the
Wild
Island
,
or
which
I
spoke
to
you
this
morning
:
There
hath
been
an
irreconcilable
War
this
long
time
between
them
and
Shrovetide
their
malicious
and
ancient
Enemy
.
I
believe
that
the
noise
of
the
Guns
which
we
fir'd
at
the
Physetere
hath
alarm'd
'em
,
and
made
them
fear
their
Enemy
was
come
with
his
Forces
to
surprise
them
,
or
lay
the
Island
waste
,
as
he
hath
often
attempted
to
do
,
though
he
still
came
off
but
blewly
;
by
reason
of
the
care
and
vigilance
of
the
Chitterlings
,
who
(
as
Dido
said
to
Aeneas's
Companions
that
would
have
landed
at
Carthage
without
her
Leave
or
Knowledge
)
were
forc'd
to
watch
and
stand
upon
their
Guard
,
considering
the
malice
of
their
Enemy
and
the
Neighbourhood
of
his
Territories
.
Pray
,
dear
Friend
,
said
Pantagruel
,
if
you
find
that
by
some
honest
means
we
may
bring
this
War
to
an
end
,
and
reconcile
them
together
,
give
me
notice
of
it
,
I
will
use
my
endeavours
in
it
,
with
all
my
Heart
,
and
spare
nothing
on
my
side
to
moderate
and
accommodate
the
points
in
dispute
between
both
Parties
.
That
's
impossible
at
this
time
,
answer'd
Xenomanes
.
About
four
years
ago
passing
Incognito
by
this
Country
,
I
endeavour'd
to
make
a
Peace
,
or
at
least
a
long
Truce
among
them
,
and
I
had
certainly
brought
them
to
be
good
Friends
and
Neighbours
,
if
both
one
and
the
other
Parties
would
have
yielded
to
one
single
Article
.
Shrovetide
would
not
include
in
the
Treaty
of
Peace
the
Wild
Puddings
,
nor
the
Highland
Sawsages
their
ancient
Gossips
and
Confederates
.
The
Chitterlings
demanded
that
the
Fort
of
Caques
might
be
under
their
Government
,
as
is
the
Castle
of
Sulloaoir
,
and
that
a
parcel
of
I
don't
know
what
stinking
Villains
,
Murtherers
,
Robbers
,
that
held
it
then
,
should
be
expell'd
.
But
they
could
not
agree
in
this
,
and
the
terms
that
were
offer'd
seem'd
too
hard
to
either
Party
.
So
the
Treaty
broke
off
,
and
nothing
was
done
.
Nevertheless
,
they
became
less
severe
,
and
gentler
Enemies
than
they
were
before
:
But
since
the
denunciation
of
the
National
Council
of
Chesil
,
whereby
they
were
roughly
handled
,
hamper'd
,
and
cited
,
whereby
also
Shrovetide
was
declar'd
filthy
,
beshitten
,
and
beray'd
,
in
case
he
made
any
League
,
or
Agreement
with
them
,
they
are
grown
wonderfully
inveterate
,
Incens'd
,
and
Obstinate
against
one
another
,
and
there
is
no
way
to
remedy
it
.
You
might
sooner
reconcile
Cats
and
Rats
,
or
Hounds
and
Hares
together
.

How
the
Wild
Chitterlings
layd
an
Ambuscado
for
Pantagruel
.
WHile
Xenomenes
was
saying
this
,
Fryar
Jhon
spy'd
twenty
five
or
thirty
young
slender-shap'd
Chitterlings
posting
as
fast
as
they
could
towards
their
Town
,
Citadel
,
Castle
and
Fort
of
Chimney
,
and
said
to
Pantagruel
,
I
smell
a
Rat
,
there
will
be
here
the
Devil
upon
two
sticks
,
or
I
am
much
out
.
These
Worshipful
Chitterlings
may
chance
to
mistake
you
for
Shrovetide
,
though
you
are
not
a
bit
like
him
.
Let
us
once
in
our
lives
leave
our
Junketing
for
a
while
,
and
put
our selves
in
a
posture
to
give
'em
a
Belly
full
of
fighting
,
if
they
would
be
at
that
sport
.
There
can
be
no
false
Latin
in
this
,
said
Xenomanes
,
Chitterlings
are
still
Chitterlings
,
always
double
hearted
,
and
treacherous
.
Pantagruel
then
arose
from
Table
,
to
visit
and
scoure
the
Thicket
,
and
return'd
presently
,
having
discover'd
on
the
left
an
Ambuscade
of
squob
Chitterlings
,
and
on
the
right
about
half
a
League
from
thence
,
a
large
Body
of
huge
Giant-like
arm'd
Chitterlings
rang'd
in
Battalia
along
a
little
Hill
,
and
marching
furiously
towards
us
at
the
sound
of
Bagpipes
,
Sheep's-Paunches
and
Bladders
,
the
merry
Fifes
and
Drums
,
Trumpets
and
Clarions
,
hoping
to
catch
us
as
Moss
caught
his
Mare
.
By
the
conjecture
of
seventy
eight
Standards
which
we
told
,
we
guess'd
their
number
to
be
two
and
forty
thousand
at
a
modest
computation
.
Their
O●der
,
proud
Gate
,
and
resolute
Looks
,
m●de
us
judge
that
they
were
none
of
your
raw
paultry
Links
,
but
old
Warlike
Chitterlings
and
Sawsages
.
From
the
foremost
Ranks
to
the
Colours
they
were
all
arm'd
Cap
a
pié
with
small
Arms
as
we
reckoned
them
at
a
distance
,
yet
very
sharp
,
and
case-harden'd
.
Their
right
and
left
Wings
were
lin'd
with
a
great
number
of
Forrest-Puddings
,
heavy
Patti-pans
,
and
Horse
Sawsages
,
all
of
them
tall
and
proper
Islanders
,
Banditti
,
and
Wild.
Pantagruel
was
very
much
daunted
,
and
not
without
cause
,
tho'
Epistemon
told
him
that
it
might
be
the
use
and
custom
of
the
Chitterl●●gonians
to
welcom
and
receive
thus
in
Arms
their
foreign
Friends
,
as
the
Noble
Kings
of
France
are
received
and
sal●ted
at
their
first
coming
into
the
chief
Cities
of
the
Kingdom
,
after
their
advancement
to
the
Crown
.
Perhaps
,
said
he
,
it
may
be
the
usual
Guard
of
the
Queen
of
the
place
;
who
having
notice
given
her
,
by
the
Junior
Chitterlings
of
the
Forlorn-hope
,
whom
you
saw
on
the
Tree
,
of
the
arrival
of
your
fine
and
pompous
Fleet
,
hath
judg'd
that
it
was
without
doubt
some
rich
and
potent
Prince
,
and
is
come
to
visit
you
in
Person
.
Pantagruel
little
trusting
to
this
,
call'd
a
Council
to
have
their
advice
at
large
in
this
doubtful
case
.
He
briefly
shew'd
them
how
this
way
of
reception
with
Arms
had
often
under
colour
of
Complement
and
Friendship
been
fatal
to
the
Parties
so
receiv'd
.
Thus
,
said
he
,
the
Emperor
Antonius
Caracalla
at
one
time
destroy'd
the
Citizens
of
Alexandria
,
and
at
another
time
cut
off
the
Attendants
of
Artabanus
King
of
Persia
,
under
color
of
Marrying
his
Daughter
;
which
by
the
way
did
not
pass
unpunished
,
for
a
while
after
,
this
cost
him
his
life
.
Thus
Jacob's
Children
destroy'd
the
Sichemites
,
to
revenge
the
Rape
of
their
Sister
Dina.
By
such
another
hypocritical
trick
,
Galienus
the
Roman
Emperour
put
to
death
the
Military
Men
in
Constantinople
.
Thus
under
colour
of
Friendship
,
Antonius
inticed
Artavasdes
King
of
Armenia
,
then
having
caused
him
to
be
bound
in
heavy
Chains
,
and
shackled
,
at
last
put
him
to
death
.
We
find
a
thousand
such
instances
in
History
;
and
K.
Charles
the
6th
is
justly
commended
for
his
Prudence
to
this
day
,
in
that
,
coming
back
Victorious
over
the
Ghenters
and
other
Flemmings
to
his
good
City
of
Paris
,
and
when
he
came
to
Bourget
,
(
a
League
from
thence
)
hearing
that
the
Citizens
with
their
Mallets
(
whence
they
got
the
name
of
Maillotius
)
were
March'd
out
of
Town
in
Battalia
twenty
thousand
strong
,
he
would
not
go
into
the
Town
till
they
had
laid
down
their
Arms
,
and
retir'd
to
their
respective
homes
,
tho'
they
protested
to
him
,
that
they
had
taken
Arms
with
no
other
design
,
than
to
receive
him
with
the
greater
demonstration
of
Honour
and
Respect
.
CHAP.
XXXVII
.
How
Pantagruel
sent
for
Colonel
Mawl-Chitterling
,
and
Colonel
Cut-Pudding
,
with
a
discourse
well
worth
your
hearing
,
about
the
Names
of
places
and
persons
.
THE
resolution
of
the
Councill
was
,
that
let
things
be
how
they
would
,
it
behov'd
the
Pantagruelists
to
stand
upon
their
Guard
.
Therefore
Carpalim
and
Gymnast
were
order'd
by
Pantagruel
,
to
go
for
the
Soldiers
that
were
on
board
the
Cup-Gally
,
under
the
Command
of
Colonel
Mawl-Chitterling
,
and
those
on
board
the
Vine-Tub-Frigat
,
under
the
command
of
Colonel
Cut-pudding
the
younger
.
I
'll
ease
Gymnast
of
that
trouble
,
said
Panurge
who
wanted
to
be
upon
the
Run
:
You
may
have
occasion
for
him
here
.
By
this
worthy
Frock
of
mine
,
quoth
Fryer
Jhon
,
thou
hast
a
mind
to
slip
thy
neck
out
of
the
Collar
,
and
absent
thy self
from
the
Fight
,
thou
white liver'd
Son
of
a
Dunghill
,
upon
my
virginity
thou
'
llt
never
come
back
.
Well
,
there
can
be
no
great
loss
in
thee
;
for
thou
wouldst
do
nothing
here
but
Howl
,
Bray
,
Weep
,
and
dishearten
the
good
Sholdiers
.
I
'll
certainly
come
back
,
said
Panurge
,
Fryar
Ihon
,
my
Ghostly
Father
,
and
speedily
too
;
do
but
take
care
that
these
Plaguy
Chitterlings
don't
board
our
Ships
;
all
the
while
you
'l
be
a
Fighting
,
I
'le
pray
heartily
for
your
Victory
after
the
example
of
the
valiant
Captain
and
guide
of
the
People
of
Israel
,
Moses
;
having
said
this
he
wheel'd
off
.
Then
said
Epistemon
to
Pantagruel
,
the
Denomination
of
these
two
Colonels
of
yours
,
Mawl-Chitterling
and
Cut-pudding
promiseth
us
Assurance
,
Success
and
Victory
,
if
those
Chitterlings
should
chance
to
set
upon
us
.
You
take
it
rightly
,
said
Pantagruel
,
and
it
pleaseth
me
to
see
you
foresee
and
prognosticate
our
Victory
by
the
Names
of
our
Colonels
.
This
Way
of
foretelling
by
Names
is
not
new
,
it
was
in
Old
times
celebrated
,
and
religiously
observ'd
by
the
Pythagoreans
.
Several
great
Princes
and
Emperors
have
formerly
made
good
use
of
it
,
Octavianus
Augustus
Emperor
of
the
Romans
meeting
on
a
day
a
Country
Fellow
nam'd
Eutychius
,
(
that
is
,
fortunate
)
driving
an
Ass
nam'd
Nicon
(
that
is
in
Greek
Victorian
)
mov'd
by
the
Signification
of
the
Ass's
,
and
Ass
driver's
Names
,
remain'd
assur'd
of
all
Prosperity
and
Victory
.
The
Emperour
Vespasian
,
being
once
all
alone
at
Prayers
in
the
Temple
of
Serapis
,
at
the
sight
and
unexpected
coming
of
a
certain
Servant
of
his
nam'd
Basilides
(
that
is
Royal
)
whom
he
had
left
Sick
a
great
way
behind
,
took
hopes
and
assurance
of
obtaining
the
Empire
of
the
R●mans
.
Reg●lian
was
chosen
Emperour
by
the
Soldiers
for
no
other
reason
,
but
the
Signification
of
his
Name
.
See
the
Cratyle
of
the
Divine
Plato
(
By
my
Thirst
I
will
read
it
,
said
Rhizotome
;
I
hear
you
so
often
quote
it
)
see
how
the
Pythagoreans
by
reason
of
the
names
and
numbers
conclude
that
Patroclus
was
to
fall
by
the
hand
of
Hector
,
Hector
by
Achilles
,
Achilles
by
Paris
,
Paris
by
Phil●ctetes
.
I
am
quite
lost
in
my
understanding
,
when
I
reflect
upon
the
admirable
Invention
of
Pythagoras
,
who
by
the
number
,
either
even
or
odd
,
of
the
Syllables
of
every
Noun
would
tell
you
of
what
side
a
Man
was
Lame
,
Hulch-back'd
,
Blind
,
Gouty
,
troubled
with
the
Palsie
,
Pleurisie
,
or
any
other
Distemper
incident
to
humane
kind
,
allotting
even
numbers
to
the
Right
,
and
odd
ones
to
the
Left
side
of
the
Body
.
Indeed
,
said
Epistemon
.
I
saw
this
way
of
Syllabising
,
try'd
at
Xaintes
at
a
general
Procession
in
the
Presence
of
that
Good
,
Vertuous
,
Learned
and
just
President
Brian
Val●ée
Lord
of
Douhait
.
When
there
went
by
a
Man
or
Woman
that
was
either
Lame
,
Blind
of
one
Eye
,
or
Hump-back'd
,
he
had
an
Account
brought
him
of
his
or
her
Name
,
and
if
the
Syllables
of
the
Name
were
of
an
odd
number
,
immediately
without
seeing
the
Persons
he
declar'd
them
to
be
deform'd
,
Blind
,
Lame
,
or
crooked
of
the
Right
side
;
and
of
the
Left
,
if
they
were
even
in
number
:
and
such
indeed
we
ever
found
them
.
By
this
Syllabical
invention
,
said
Pantagruel
,
the
Learned
have
affirm'd
,
that
Achi●●es
kneeling
was
wounded
by
the
Arrow
of
Paris
in
the
Right
heel
,
for
his
name
is
of
odd
Syllables
:
(
here
we
ought
to
observe
that
the
Ancients
us'd
to
kneel
the
Right
foot
.
)
And
that
Venus
was
also
wounded
before
Troy
in
the
Left
hand
;
for
her
Name
in
Greek
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
of
four
Syllables
,
Vulcan
lam'd
of
his
Left
foot
for
the
same
reason
;
Phillip
King
of
Macedon
and
Hannibal
blind
of
the
Right
eye
;
not
to
speak
of
Sciatica's
,
broken
Bellies
,
and
Hemicrania's
,
which
may
be
distinguish'd
by
this
Pythagorean
reason
.
But
returning
to
Names
,
Do
but
consider
how
Alexander
the
Great
,
Son
to
King
Philip
,
of
whom
we
spoke
just
now
,
compass'd
his
Undertaking
,
meerly
by
the
Interpretation
of
a
Name
.
He
had
besieged
the
strong
City
of
Tyre
,
and
for
several
Weeks
battered
it
with
all
his
Power
;
but
all
in
vain
;
his
Engines
and
Attempts
were
still
baffled
by
the
Tyrians
.
Which
made
him
finally
resolve
to
raise
the
Siege
to
his
great
Grief
,
foreseeing
the
great
Stain
,
which
such
a
shameful
Retreat
would
be
to
his
Reputation
.
In
this
Anxiety
and
Agitation
of
mind
he
fell
asleep
,
and
dream't
that
a
Satyr
was
come
into
his
Tent
capering
skipping
,
and
tripping
it
up
and
down
,
with
his
Goatish
hoofs
,
and
that
he
strove
to
lay
hold
on
him
.
But
the
Satyr
still
slip'd
from
him
,
till
at
last
having
pen'd
him
up
into
a
Corner
,
he
took
him
:
With
this
he
awak'd
,
and
telling
his
Dream
to
the
Philosophers
,
and
Sages
of
his
Court
,
they
let
him
know
,
that
it
was
a
Promise
of
Victory
from
the
Gods
,
and
that
he
should
soon
be
Master
of
Tyre
;
the
word
Satyros
divided
in
two
being
Sa
Tyros
,
and
signifying
,
Tyre
is
thine
;
and
in
truth
,
at
the
next
Onset
he
took
the
Town
by
Storm
,
and
by
a
compleat
Victory
,
reduc'd
that
stubborn
People
to
Subjection
.
On
the
other
hand
,
see
how
by
the
Signification
of
one
word
,
Pompey
fell
into
dispair
.
Being
overcome
by
Caesar
at
the
Battel
of
Pharsalia
,
he
had
no
other
way
left
to
escape
but
by
flight
;
which
attempting
by
Sea
,
he
arrived
near
the
Island
of
Cyprus
,
and
perceiv'd
on
the
shoar
near
the
City
of
Paphos
a
beautiful
and
stately
Palace
;
now
asking
the
Pilot
what
was
the
name
of
it
,
he
told
him
,
that
it
was
call'd
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
that
is
,
Evil-King
,
which
struck
such
a
dread
and
terror
in
him
,
that
he
fell
into
Despair
,
as
being
assured
of
loosing
shortly
his
Life
;
insomuch
that
his
Complaints
,
Sighs
,
and
Groans
were
heard
by
the
Marriners
and
other
Passengers
.
And
indeed
a
while
after
a
certain
strange
Peasant
call'd
Achillas
cut
off
his
Head
.
To
all
these
Examples
might
he
added
what
happen'd
to
L.
Paulus
Emilius
,
when
the
Senate
elected
him
Emperour
,
that
is
,
Chief
of
the
Army
which
they
sent
against
Perses
King
of
Macedon
;
that
Evening
returning
home
to
prepare
for
his
Expedition
,
and
kissing
a
little
Daughter
of
his
call'd
Trasia
,
she
seem'd
somewhat
sad
to
him
.
What
is
the
matter
,
said
he
,
my
Chicken
,
why
is
my
Trasia
thus
sad
and
Melancholly
?
Daddy
,
(
reply'd
the
Child
)
Persa
is
dead
;
this
was
the
Name
of
a
little
Bitch
which
she
lov'd
mightily
:
hearing
this
,
Paulus
took
assurance
of
a
Victory
over
Perses
.
If
time
would
permit
us
to
discourse
of
the
Sacred
Hebrew
writ
,
we
might
find
a
hundred
noted
Passages
evidently
shewing
how
religiously
they
observed
Proper
names
,
and
their
Significations
.
He
had
hardly
ended
this
Discourse
,
when
the
two
Colonels
arrived
with
their
Soldiers
,
all
well
arm'd
and
resosolute
.
Pantagruel
made
them
a
short
Speech
,
intreating
them
to
behave
themselves
bravely
,
in
case
they
were
attackt
;
for
he
cou'd
not
yet
believe
that
the
Chitterlings
were
so
treacherous
,
but
he
bad
them
by
no
means
to
give
the
first
offence
;
giving
them
Carnaval
for
the
watch
word
.

How
Chitterlings
are
not
to
be
slighted
by
Men.
YOU
shake
your
empty
Noddles
now
,
jolly
Topers
,
and
don
't
believe
what
I
tell
you
here
any
more
than
if
it
were
some
Tale
of
a
Tub
:
Well
,
well
,
I
can't
help
it
.
Believe
it
if
you
will
;
if
you
wo'nt
,
let
it
alone
.
For
my
part
,
I
very
well
know
what
I
saw
.
It
was
in
the
wild
Island
,
in
our
Voyage
to
the
Holy
Bottle
,
I
tell
you
the
Time
and
Place
,
what
would
you
have
more
?
I
would
have
you
call
to
mind
the
strength
of
the
ancient
Giants
that
undertook
to
lay
the
high
Mountain
Pelien
on
the
top
of
Ossa
,
and
set
among
those
the
shady
Olympus
,
to
dash
out
the
Gods
Brains
,
unnestle
them
,
and
scour
their
Heavenly
Lodgings
.
Their's
was
no
small
strength
,
you
may
well
think
,
and
yet
they
were
nothing
but
Chitterlings
from
the
Waste
downwards
,
or
at
least
,
Serpents
,
not
to
tell
a
Lye
for
the
matter
.
The
Serpent
that
tempted
Eve
too
was
of
the
Chitterling
kind
,
and
yet
it
is
recorded
of
him
,
that
he
was
more
subtle
than
any
Beast
of
the
Field
.
Even
so
are
Chitterlings
:
Nay
,
to
this
very
hour
they
hold
in
some
Universities
that
this
same
Tempter
was
the
Chitterling
call'd
Ithyphallus
,
or
Standing
,
into
which
was
transform'd
bawdy
Priapus
Arch
seducer
of
Females
in
Paradise
,
that
is
,
a
Garden
in
Greek
.
Pray
now
tell
me
,
Who
can
tell
but
that
the
Switzers
now
so
bold
and
warlike
were
formerly
Chitterlings
?
For
my
part
▪
I
would
not
take
my
Oath
to
the
contrary
.
The
Himantepodes
,
a
Nation
very
famous
in
Ethiopia
,
according
to
Pliny's
Description
,
are
Chitterlings
,
and
nothing
else
.
If
all
this
will
not
satisfie
your
Worships
,
or
remove
your
Incredulity
,
I
would
have
you
forthwith
(
I
mean
drinking
first
,
that
nothing
be
done
rashly
)
visit
Lusignan
,
Parthenay
,
V●uant
,
Mervant
,
and
Ponzauges
in
Poictou
.
There
you
will
find
a
Cloud
of
Witnesses
,
not
of
your
Affidavit-Men
of
the
right
stamp
,
but
Credible
,
time
out
of
mind
,
that
will
take
their
Corporal
Oath
,
on
Rigome's
Knuckle-bone
,
that
Mellusine
their
first
Founder
,
or
Foundress
,
which
you
please
,
was
Woman
from
the
Head
to
the
Prick-purse
,
and
thence
downwards
was
a
Serpentine
Chitterling
,
or
if
you
'l
have
it
otherwise
,
a
Chitterlingdiz'd
Serpent
.
She
nevertheless
had
a
Gen●e●●
and
noble
Gate
,
imitated
to
this
very
day
by
your
Hop-Merchants
of
Britanny
in
their
Pasp●é
and
Country
Dances
.
What
do
you
think
was
the
cause
of
Erichtho●●●s's
being
the
first
Inventor
of
Coaches
,
Litters
,
and
Chariots
?
Nothing
but
because
Vulcan
had
begot
him
with
Chitterlingdiz'd
Legs
,
which
to
hide
,
he
chose
to
ride
in
a
Litter
rather
than
on
Horse-back
;
for
Chitterlings
were
not
yet
in
esteem
at
that
time
.
The
Scythian
Nymph
Ora
was
likewise
half
Woman
,
and
half
Chitterling
;
and
yet
seem'd
so
beautiful
to
Jupiter
,
that
nothing
could
serve
him
but
he
must
give
her
a
touch
of
his
Godship's
kindness
;
and
accordingly
had
a
brave
Boy
by
her
call'd
Colaxes
,
and
therefore
,
I
would
have
you
leave
off
shaking
your
empty
Noddles
at
this
,
as
if
it
were
a
Story
,
and
firmly
believe
that
nothing
is
truer
than
the
Gospel
.

How
Fryar
Ihon
joyn'd
with
the
Cooks
to
fight
the
Chitterlings
.
FRyar
Ihon
,
seeing
these
furious
Chitterlings
thus
boldly
march
up
,
said
to
Pantagruel
;
here
will
be
a
rare
Battel
of
Hobby-horses
,
a
pretty
kind
of
Puppet-show
Fight
for
ought
I
see
;
Oh!
What
mighty
Honour
and
wonderful
Glory
will
attend
our
Victory
?
I
would
have
you
only
be
a
bare
Spectator
of
this
Fight
,
and
for
any
thing
else
leave
me
and
my
men
to
deal
with
them
.
What
men
?
said
Pantagruel
.
Matter
of
Breviary
,
reply'd
Fryar
Ihon
:
How
came
Potiphar
who
was
Head
Cook
of
Pharoah's
Kitchins
,
he
that
bought
Joseph
,
and
whom
the
said
Joseph
might
have
made
a
Cuckold
,
if
he
had
not
been
●
Joseph
;
how
came
he
I
say
,
to
be
made
General
of
all
the
Horse
in
the
Kingdom
of
Egypt
?
Why
was
Nabuzardan
,
King
Nebuchadonezo●'s
Head-Cook
chosen
,
to
the
Exclusion
of
all
other
Captains
,
to
besiege
and
destroy
Jerusalem
?
I
hear
you
,
reply'd
Pantagruel
;
By
St.
Christopher's
Whiskers
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
,
I
dare
lay
a
Wager
that
it
was
because
they
had
formerly
engaged
Ch●tterlings
,
or
Men
as
little
valu'd
;
whom
to
rout
,
conquer
,
and
destroy
,
Cooks
are
without
comparison
,
more
si●
than
C●●rassiers
and
Gens
d'
Armes
arm'd
at
all
Points
,
or
all
the
Horse
and
Foot
in
the
world
.
You
put
me
in
mind
said
Pantagruel
,
of
what
is
written
amongst
the
Facetious
and
merry
Sayings
of
Cicero
.
During
the
more
than
Civil
Wars
between
Caesar
and
Pompey
,
tho'
he
was
much
Courted
by
the
first
he
naturally
lean'd
more
to
the
side
of
the
latter
;
now
one
day
,
hearing
that
the
Pompe●ans
in
a
certain
Rencontre
had
lost
a
great
many
Men
,
he
took
a
Fancy
to
visit
their
Camp
.
There
he
perceiv'd
little
Strength
,
less
Courage
,
but
much
disorder
.
From
that
time
,
foreseeing
that
things
would
go
ill
with
them
,
as
it
since
happen'd
,
he
began
to
Banter
now
one
and
then
another
,
and
be
very
Free
of
his
cutting
Jests
:
so
some
of
Pompey's
Captains
playing
the
good
Fellows
to
shew
their
assurance
,
told
him
,
Do
you
see
how
many
Eagles
we
have
yet
?
(
They
were
then
the
Devise
of
the
Romans
in
War
)
They
might
be
of
use
to
you
,
reply'd
Cicero
,
if
you
had
to
do
with
Magpies
.
Thus
seeing
we
are
to
fight
Chitterlings
,
pursued
Pantagruel
,
you
infer
thence
that
it
is
a
Culinary
War
,
and
have
a
mind
to
joyn
with
the
Cooks
.
Well
,
do
as
you
please
.
I
'll
stay
here
in
the
mean
time
,
and
wait
for
the
event
of
the
Battel
.
Fryar
Ihon
went
that
very
moment
among
the
Sutlers
into
the
Cooks
Tents
,
and
told
them
in
a
pleasing
manner
,
I
must
see
you
Crown'd
with
Honour
and
Triumph
this
day
,
my
Lads
;
To
your
Arms
are
reserv'd
such
Atchievments
,
as
never
yet
were
perform'd
within
the
Memory
of
Man
.
Od's
Belly
,
do
they
make
nothing
of
the
valiant
Cooks
?
Let
us
go
fight
yonder
fornicating
Chitterlings
,
I
'le
be
your
Captain
:
But
first
let
's
drink
,
Boys
—
come
on
—
Let
us
be
of
good
Cheer
.
Noble
Captain
,
return'd
the
Kitchin
Tribe
,
this
was
spoken
like
your self
,
bravely
offer'd
:
Huzza
!
we
are
all
at
your
Excellency's
Command
,
and
will
live
and
dye
by
you
.
Live
,
live
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
,
a
God's
Name
;
but
dye
by
no
means
.
That
's
the
Chitterlings
lot
,
they
shall
have
their
Belly
full
on
't
:
Come
on
then
,
let
us
put
our selves
in
Order
;
Nabuzardan's

How
Fryar
Jhon
fitted
up
the
Sow
;
and
of
the
Valiant
Cooks
that
went
into
it
.
THen
by
Fryar
Jhon's
Order
the
Engineers
and
their
Work-men
fitted
up
the
great
Sow
that
was
in
the
Ship
Leathern-Bottle
.
It
was
a
wonderful
Machine
,
so
contriv'd
,
that
by
the
means
of
large
Engines
that
were
round
about
it
in
Rows
,
it
throw'd
forked
Iron
Bars
,
and
four
squar'd
Steel
Boults
;
and
in
its
Hold
two
hundred
Men
at
least
could
easily
fight
,
and
be
shelter'd
.
It
was
made
after
the
Model
of
the
Sow
of
Riole
,
by
the
means
of
which
Bergerac
was
retaken
from
the
English
in

Knees
.
THe
Chitterlings
advanc'd
so
near
,
that
Pantagruel
perceiv'd
that
they
stretched
their
Arms
,
and
already
began
to
charge
their
Lances
,
which
caus'd
him
to
send
Gymnast
to
know
what
they
meant
,
and
why
they
thus
,
without
the
least
provocation
,
came
to
fall
upon
their
old
trusty
Friends
,
who
had
neither
said
nor
done
the
least
ill
thing
to
them
.
Gymnast
being
advanc'd
near
their
Front
,
bow'd
very
low
,
and
said
to
them
as
loud
as
ever
he
could
;
We
are
Friends
,
we
are
Friends
;
all
,
all
of
us
your
Friends
,
yours
,
and
at
your
command
,
we
are
for
Carnaval
your
old
Confederate
.
Some
h●ve
since
told
me
,
that
he
mistook
and
said
Carnaval
instead
of
Carnaval
.
Whatever
it
was
,
that
word
was
no
sooner
out
of
his
Mouth
,
but
a
huge
wild
Squob-Saw●age
,
starting
out
of
the
Front
of
their
main
Body
,
would
have
grip'd
him
by
the
Collar
.
By
the
Helmet
of
Mars
,
said
Gymna●t
.
I
'll
swallow
thee
,
but
thou
shalt
only
come
in
in
chips
and
slices
;
for
,
big
as
thou
art
,
thou
could'st
never
come
in
whole
.
This
spoke
,
he
lugs
out
his
trusty
Sword
,
Kiss-mine-Arse
,
(
so
he
call'd
it
)
with
both
his
Fists
,
and
cut
the
Sawsage
in
twain
.
Bless
me
,
how
〈◊〉
the
soul
Thief
was
!
It
puts
me
in
mind
of
the
huge
Bull
of
Berne
that
was
slain
at
Ma●ignan
when
the
drunken
Switzers
were
so
mawl'd
there
.
Believe
me
,
it
had
little
less
than
four
inches
Lard
on
its
Paunch
.
The
Sawsage's
job
being
done
,
a
Crowd
of
others
flew
upon
Gymnast
,
and
had
most
scurvily
drag'd
him
down
,
when
Pantagruel
with
his
Men
came
up
to
his
relief
.
Then
began
the
Martial
Fray
,
higledy
pickledy
.
Mawi
Chitterling
did
mawl
Chitterlings
,
Cut
Pudding
did
cut
Puddings
;
Pantagruel
did
break
the
Chitterlings
at
the
Knees
;
Fryar
Jhon
play'd
at
least
in
sight
within
his
Sow
,
viewing
and
observing
all
things
;
when
the
the
Patty-pans
that
lay
in
Ambuscado
,
most
furiously
sallied
out
upon
Pantagruel
.
Fryar
Jhon
,
who
lay
snug
all
this
while
,
by
that
time
perceiving
the
Rout
and
Hurly-burly
,
set
open
the
doors
of
his
Sow
,
and
sallied
out
with
his
merry
Greeks
,
some
of
them
arm'd
with
Iron
Spits
,
others
with
Andirons
,
Racks
,
Fire-Slovel●
,
Frying-pans
,
Kettles
,
Grid
Irons
,
Oven-Forks
,
Tongs
,
Dripping-pans
,
Brooms
,
Iron-pots
,
Mortars
,
Pestles
,
all
in
Battle
array
like
so
many
House
breakers
,
hollowing
and
roaring
out
all
together
most
frightfully
,
Nabuzardan
,
nabuzardan
,
nabuzardan
.
Thus
shouting
and
hooting
they
fought
like
Dragons
,
and
charg'd
through
the
Patty
pans
,
and
Sawsages
.
The
Chitterlings
perceiving
this
●●●sh
reinforcement
,
and
that
the
others
would
be
too
hard
for
'em
,
betook
themselves
to
their
Heels
,
scampering
off
with
full
speed
,
as
if
the
Devil
had
been
come
for
them
.
Fryar
Jhon
with
an
Iron
Crow
knock'd
them
down
as
●ast
as
Haps
;
his
Men
too
were
not
sparing
on
their
side
.
O!
What
a
woeful
sight
it
was
!
The
field
was
all
over
strow'd
with
heaps
of
dead
or
wounded
Chitterlings
;
and
History
relates
,
that
had
not
Heaven
had
a
hand
in
it
▪
the
Chitterling
Tribe
had
been
●●tally
●●uted
out
of
the
World
,
by
the
Culinary
Champions
.
But
there
happen●d
a
wonderful
thing
,
you
may
believe
as
little
or
as
much
of
it
as
you
please
.
From
the
North
flew
towards
us
a
huge
fat
,
thick
,
grizly
Swine
,
with
long
and
large
Wings
like
those
of
a
Windmil
,
its
Plume●
red
Crimson
,
like
those
of
a
Phenicoptere
(
which
in
Languedoc
they
call
Flaman
)
its
Eyes
were
red
and
flaming
like
a
Carbuncle
,
its
Ears
green
like
a
Prasin
Emerald
,
its
Teeth
like
a
Topaze
,
its
Tail
long
and
black
like
Jet
,
its
Feet
white
,
diaphanous
,
and
transparent
like
a
Diamond
,
somewhat
broad
and
of
the
splay-kind
,
like
those
of
Geese
,
and
as
Queen
Dick's
us'd
to
be
at
Tholose
in
the
days
of
Yore
.
About
its
Neck
it
wore
a
Gold
Collar
round
which
were
some
Ionian
Characters
,
whereof
I
could
pick
out
but
two
words
ΣΥΣ
AΘHNAN
:
Hog
teaching
Minerva
.
The
Sky
was
clear
before
,
but
at
that
Monster
's
appearance
,
it
chang'd
so
mightily
for
the
worse
,
that
we
were
all
amaz'd
at
it
.
As
soon
as
the
Chitterlings
perceiv'd
the
s●●ing
Hog
,
down
they
all
threw
their
Weapons
and
fell
on
their
Knees
,
lifting
up
their
Hands
joyn'd
together
,
without
speaking
one
word
,
in
a
posture
of
Adoration
.
Fryar
Jhon
and
his
Party
kept
on
mincing
,
felling
,
braining
,
mangling
,
and
spitting
the
Chitterlings
like
mad
▪
But
Pantagruel
sounded
a
Retreat
,
and
all
Hostility
ceas'd
.
The
Monster
,
having
several
times
hover'd
backwards
and
forwards
between
the
two
A●mies
,
with
a
Tail-shot
voided
above
twenty
seven
B●●s
of
Mustard
on
the
ground
;
then
flew
away
through
the
Air
,
crying
all
the
while
,
Carnaval
,

How
Pantagruel
held
a
treaty
with
Niphleseth
Queen
of
the
Chitterlings
.
THE
Monster
being
out
of
sight
,
and
the
two
Armies
remaining
silent
,
Pantagruel
demanded
a
parly
with
the
Lady
Niphleseth
,
Queen
of
the
Chitterlings
who
was
in
her
Chariot
by
the
Standards
,
and
it
was
easily
granted
.
The
Queen
alighted
,
cou●teously
receiv'd
Pantagruel
,
and
was
glad
to
see
him
.
Pantagruel
complain'd
to
her
of
this
Breach
of
Peace
:
But
she
civilly
made
her
excuse
,
telling
him
that
a
false
information
had
caused
all
this
mischief
,
her
Spies
having
brought
her
word
,
that
Shrovetide
their
mortal
foe
was
landed
,
and
spent
his
time
in
examining
the
Urin
of
Physet●res
.
She
therefore
intreated
him
to
pard●●
them
their
offence
,
telling
him
,
that
Si●
reverence
was
sooner
found
in
Chitterling
▪
than
Gall
,
and
offering
,
for
her self
and
〈◊〉
her
successors
,
to
hold
of
him
,
and
his
,
〈◊〉
whole
Island
and
Country
,
to
ob●y
him
〈◊〉
all
his
Commands
,
be
friends
to
his
〈◊〉
and
foes
to
his
foes
:
And
also
to
●●●d
ev●ry
Year
,
as
an
acknowledgment
of
〈◊〉
●●●mage
,
a
tribute
of
seventy
eight
thousand
Royal
Chitterlings
,
to
serve
him
at
his
first
Course
at
Table
,
six
months
in
the
Year
;
which
was
punctually
perform'd
.
For
,
the
next
day
,
she
sent
the
aforesaid
quantity
of
Royal
Chitterlings
,
to
the
good
Gargantua
,
under
the
Conduct
of
young
Niphleseth
,
Infanta
of
the
Island
.
The
good
Gargantua
made
a
Present
of
them
to
the
great
King
of
Paris
.
But
by
change
of
Air
,
and
for
want
of
Mustard
(
the
natural
Balsam
and
restorer
of
Chitterling●
most
of
them
dyed
.
By
the
great
Kings
particular
Grant
they
were
buried
in
●●aps
,
in
a
part
of
Paris
,
to
this
day
call'd
La
●●e
pa●●e
d'
Andouilles
,
The
Street
pav●d
with
Chitterlings
.
At
the
request
of
the
Ladies
at
his
Court
,
young
Niphleseth
was
preserv'd
,
honourably
us'd
,
and
since
that
married
to
heart's
content
;
and
was
the
Mother
of
many
Children
,
for
which
heaven
be
prais'd
.
Pantagruel
civilly
thank'd
the
Queen
,
forgave
all
Offences
,
refus'd
the
offer
she
had
made
of
her
Country
,
and
gave
her
a
pretty
little
Knife
;
after
that
,
he
ask'd
several
nice
Questions
concerning
the
Apparition
of
that
●lyi●g
H●g
?
she
answer'd
that
it
was
the
Id●a
of
Carnaval
their
Tutelary
God
in
time
of
War
,
first
Founder
,
and
Original
of
all
the
Chitterling
race
,
for
which
Reason
he
resembled
a
Hog
,
for
Chiterlings
drew
their
extraction
from
Hogs
.
Pantagruel
asking
to
what
purpose
,
and
curative
Indication
he
had
voided
so
much
Mustard
on
the
Earth
?
The
Queen
reply●d
,
that
Mustard
was
their
Sang-real
,
and
c●lestial
Balsam
,
of
which
laying
but
a
little
in
the
wounds
of
the
fallen
Chitterlings
,
in
a
very
short
time
the
wounded
were
heal'd
,
and
the
dead
restor'd
to
life
.
Pantagruel
held
no
further
discourse
with
the
Queen
,
but
retir'd
a
ship
board
.
The
like
did
all
the
Bon
Companions
with
their
Implements
of
Destruction
and
their
huge
Sow
.

How
Pantagruel
went
into
the
Island
of
Ruach
.
TWO
days
after
,
we
arriv'd
at
the
Island
of
Ruach
;
and
I
swear
to
you
by
the
Celestial
Hen
and
Chickens
that
I
found
the
way
of
living
of
the
People
●o
strange
and
wonderfull
,
that
I
can't
for
the
hearts
Blood
of
me
half
tell
it
you
.
They
live
on
nothing
but
Wind
,
eat
nothing
but
Wind
,
and
drink
nothing
but
Wind.
They
have
no
other
Houses
but
weather-cocks
.
They
sow
no
other
seeds
but
the
three
sorts
of
Wind-flowers
,
Rue
,
and
herbs
that
may
make
One
break
wind
to
the
purpose
,
these
scowre
them
off
carefully
.
The
common
sort
of
People
to
feed
themselves
,
make
use
of
feather
,
paper
,
or
linnen
Fans
,
according
to
their
Abilities
;
as
for
the
Rich
they
live
by
the
means
of
Wind-mills
.
When
they
wou'd
have
some
noble
Treat
,
the
Tables
are
spread
under
one
or
two
Wind-mills
.
There
they
feast
as
merry
as
beggars
,
and
during
the
Meal
,
their
whole
talk
is
commonly
of
the
goodness
,
excellency
salubrity
and
rarity
of
Winds
,
as
you
,
jolly
Topers
,
in
your
cups
Philosophize
and
Argue
upon
Wines
.
The
one
praises
the
South-east
,
the
other
the
South-west
.
This
the
West
and
by
South
,
and
this
the
East
and
by
North
;
another
the
West
,
and
another
the
East
,
and
so
of
the
rest
.
As
for
Lovers
,
and
amorous
Sparks
,
no
Gale
for
them
like
a
sm●ck
Gale
:
For
the
sick
,
they
use
Bellows
,
as
we
use
Clysters
among
us
.
Oh!
(
said
to
me
a
little
diminutive
swoln
Bubble
)
that
I
had
now
but
a
bladderfull
of
that
same
good
Languedoc
Wind
,
which
they
call
Cierce
:
The
famous
Physician
Scur●●n
passing
one
day
by
this
Country
,
was
telling
us
that
it
is
so
strong
that
it
will
make
nothing
of
overturning
a
loaded
Waggon
:
Oh!
What
good
would
it
not
do
my
oedipodic
Legg
.
The
biggest
are
not
the
best
,
but
,
said
Panurge
,
rather
would
I
had
here
a
large
Butt
of
that
same
good
Languedoc
Wine
that
grows
at
Mireveux
,
Canteperdrix
,
and
Frontignan
.
I
saw
a
good
likely
sort
of
a
Man
there
,
much
resembling
Ventrose
,
tearing
and
fuming
in
a
grievous
Fret
,
with
a
tall
burly
Groom
,
and
a
pimping
little
Page
of
his
laying
them
on
,
like
the
Devil
,
with
a
buskin
:
Not
knowing
the
cause
of
his
anger
,
at
first
I
thought
that
all
this
was
by
the
Doctor
's
advice
,
as
being
a
thing
very
healthy
to
the
Master
to
be
in
a
Passion
,
and
to
his
Man
to
be
bang'd
for
't
.
But
at
last
I
heard
him
taxing
his
Man
with
stealing
from
him
,
like
a
Rogue
as
he
was
,
the
better
half
of
a
large
leathern
Bag
of
an
excellent
southerly
Wind
,
which
he
had
carefully
lay'd
up
,
like
a
hidden
Reserve
,
against
the
cold
weather
.
They
neither
Exonerate
,
Piss
,
nor
Spit
in
that
Island
,
but
to
make
amends
they
belch
,
fizle
,
funk
,
and
give
Tailshots
in
abundance
.
They
are
troubled
with
all
manner
of
distempers
:
And
indeed
all
distempers
are
engendred
and
proceed
from
Ventosities
,
as
Hippocrates
demonstrates
,
lib.
de
Flatibus
.
But
the
most
epidemical
among
them
,
is
the
wind-Colick
.
The
remedies
which
they
use
are
large
Blisters
,
whereby
they
void
store
of
Windiness
.
They
all
dye
of
Dropsies
,
and
Tympanies
,
the
Men
farting
,
and
the
Women
sizling
,
so
that
their
Soul
takes
her
leave
at
the
back
door
.
Some
time
after
,
walking
in
the
Island
,
we
met
Three
hare-brain'd
airy
Fellows
,
who
seem'd
mightily
pufft
up
,
and
wert
to
take
their
pastime
,
and
view
the
P●●vers
who
live
on
the
same
die●as
themselves
,
and
abound
in
the
Island
.
I
observ'd
that
,
as
you
,
true
Topers
,
when
you
travell
carry
flasks
,
leathern
bottles
,
and
small
runlets
along
with
you
,
so
each
of
them
had
at
his
girdle
a
pretty
little
pair
of
bellows
.
If
they
happen'd
to
want
wind
,
by
the
help
of
those
pretty
bellows
they
immediately
drew
some
fresh
and
cool
by
Attraction
and
Reciprocal
Expulsion
:
For
,
as
you
well
know
,
Wind
,
essentially
defin'd
,
is
nothing
but
fluctuating
and
agitated
Air.
A
while
after
we
were
commanded
in
the
King's
name
not
to
receive
for
three
hours
any
Man
or
Women
of
the
Country
on
board
our
ships
.
Some
having
stole
from
him
a
rousing
fart
of
the
very
individual
Wind
which
old
Goodman
Aeolus
the
Snoarer
gave
Vlysses
,
to
Conduct
his
Ship
,
when
ever
it
should
happen
to
be
becalm'd
▪
which
fart
the
King
kept
religiously
〈◊〉
another
Sangreal
,
and
perform'd
a
wo●●d
of
wonderfull
cures
with
it
,
in
many
dangerous
deseases
,
letting
loose
and
distribu●ing
to
the
Patient
only
as
much
of
it
as
might
frame
a
Virginal
Fart
.
That
is
,
if
you
must
know
,
what
our
Sanctimonials
alias
Nuns
in
their
Dialect
call
ringing
backwards
.

How
a
small
Rain
lays
a
high
Wind.
PAntagruel
commended
their
Government
and
way
of
living
,
and
said
to
their
Hypenemian
Mayor
,
If
you
approve
Epicurus's
Opinion
,
placing
the
summum
bonum
in
pleasure
(
I
mean
pleasure
that
's
easie
and
free
from
toil
)
I
esteem
you
happy
;
for
your
Food
being
Wind
,
costs
you
little
or
nothing
;
since
you
need
but
blow
.
True
,
Sir
,
return'd
the
Mayor
,
but
alas
,
nothing
is
perfect
here
below
:
For
too
often
when
we
are
at
Table
feeding
on
some
good
blessed
Wind
of
God
,
as
on
Celestial
Manna
,
merry
as
so
many
Fryars
,
down
drops
on
a
sudden
some
small
Rain
,
which
lays
!
our
Wind
,
and
so
robs
us
of
it
;
thus
many
a
Meal
lost
for
want
of
Meat
.
Just
so
,
quoth
Panurge
,
Jenin
Toss-pot
of
Quinquenois
evacuating
some
Wine
of
his
own
burning
on
his
Wife's
Posteriors
,
laid
the
ill
fum'd
Wind
that
blow'd
out
of
their
Centre
as
out
of
some
Magisterial
Aeolipyle
.
Here
's
a
kind
of
a
Whim
on
that
Subject
which
I
made
formerly
.
One
Evening
,
when
Toss-pot
had
been
at
his
Buts
,
And
Joane
his
fat
Spouse
cram'd
with
Turnips
her
Guts
,
Together
they
pigg'd
;
nor
did
Drink
so
besot
him
,
But
he
did
what
was
done
when
his
Daddy
begot
him
.
Now
when
,
to
recruit
,
he
'd
fain
have
been
snoaring
,
Joane's
back-door
was
filthily
puffing
and
roaring
:
So
for
spight
he
bepiss'd
her
,
and
quickly
did
find
,
That
a
very
small
Rain
lays
a
very
high
Wind.
We
are
also
plagu'd
yearly
with
a
very
great
Calamity
,
cry'd
the
Mayor
;
for
a
Giant
call'd
Widenostrils
,
who
lives
in
the
Island
of
Tohu
,
comes
hither
every
spring
,
to
purge
by
the
advice
of
his
Physicians
,
and
swallows
us
,
like
so
many
Pills
,
a
great
number
of
Windmils
and
of
Bellows
also
,
at
which
his
Mouth
waters
exceedingly
.
Now
this
is
a
sad
Mortification
to
us
here
,
who
are
fain
to
fast
over
three
or
four
whole
Lents
every
year
for
this
,
besides
certain
petty
Lents
,
Ember-Weeks
,
and
other
Orison
and
Starving-tides
.
And
have
you
no
Remedy
for
this
,
ask'd
Pantagruel
?
By
the
advice
of
our
Mezarims
,
reply'd
the
Mayor
,
about
the
time
that
he
uses
to
give
us
a
Visit
,
we
Garison
our
Windmills
with
good
store
of
Cocks
and
Hens
.
So
the
first
time
that
the
greedy
Thief
swallow'd
them
,
they
had
like
to
have
done
his
business
at
once
,
for
they
crow'd
and
cackl'd
in
his
Maw
,
and
flutter'd
up
and
down
athwart
and
along
in
his
Stomach
,
which
threw
the
Glutton
into
an
Lipothymy
,
Cardiac
Passion
,
and
dreadful
and
dangerous
Convulsions
,
as
if
some
Serpent
creeping
in
at
his
Mouth
,
had
been
frisking
in
his
Stomach
.
Here
is
a
comparative
as
altogether
incongruous
and
impertinent
,
cry'd
Fryar
Jhon
,
interrupting
them
,
for
I
have
formerly
heard
,
that
if
a
Serpent
chance
to
get
into
a
Man's
Stomach
,
it
will
not
do
him
the
least
hurt
,
but
will
immediately
get
out
,
if
you
do
but
hang
the
Patient
by
the
Heels
,
and
lay
a
pan
full
of
warm
Milk
near
his
Mouth
.
You
were
told
this
,
said
Pantagruel
,
and
so
were
those
who
gave
you
this
account
;
but
none
ever
saw
or
read
of
such
a
Cure
.
On
the
contrary
,
Hippocrates
,
in
his
fifth
Book
of
Epidem
.
writes
,
That
such
a
case
happening
in
his
time
,
the
Patient
presently
died
of
a
Spasm
and
Convulsion
.
Besides
the
Cocks
and
Hens
,
said
the
Mayor
continuing
his
Story
,
all
the
Foxes
in
the
Country
whip'd
into
Widenostril's
Mouth
,
posting
after
the
Poultry
,
which
made
such
a
stir
with
Reynard
at
their
Heels
,
that
he
grievously
fell
into
Fits
each
minute
of
an
hour
.
At
last
by
the
advice
of
a
Baden
Enchanter
,
at
the
time
of
the
Paroxysm
,
he
us'd
to
flea
a
Fox
,
by
way
of
Antidote
:
Since
that
he
took
better
advice
,
and
easies
himself
with
taking
a
Clyster
made
with
a
Decoction
of
Wheat
and
Barly-Corns
,
and
of
Livers
of
Goslins
;
to
the
first
of
which
the
Poultry
run
,
and
the
Foxes
to
the
latter
.
Besides
,
he
swallows
some
of
your
Badgers
or
Fox-Dogs
by
the
way
of
Pills
and
Bolus's
.
This
is
our
misfortune
.
Cease
to
fear
,
good
People
,
cry'd
Pantagruel
,
This
huge
Widenostrils
,
this
same
Swallower
of
Windmills
,
is
no
more
,
I
'll
assure
you
;
he
dy'd
,
being
stifled
and
choak'd
with
eating
a
lump
of
fresh
Butter
,
at
the
Mouth
of
a
hot
Oven
by
the
advice
of
his
Physicians
.
CHAP.
XLV
.
How
Pantagruel
went
ashoar
in
the
Island
of
Pope
Figg-land
.
THe
next
morning
,
we
arrived
at
the
Island
of
Popefiggs
,
formerly
a
rich
and
free
People
call'd
the
Gaillardets
,
but
now
alas
miserably
poor
,
and
under
the
Yoke
of
the
Papimen
.
The
occasion
of
it
was
this
.
On
a
certain
yearly
high
Holy-day
,
the
Burger-Master
,
Syndies
and
topping
Rabbies
of
the
Gaillardets
chanc'd
to
go
into
the
Neighbouring
Island
of
Papimany
to
see
the
Festival
,
and
pass
away
the
time
.
Now
one
of
them
having
espy'd
the
Pope's
Picture
(
with
the
sight
of
which
,
according
to
a
laudable
Custom
,
the
People
were
bless'd
on
High-offering
,
Holy-days
)
made
mouths
at
it
and
cry'd
,
a
Fig
for
't
,
as
a
sign
of
manifest
Contempt
and
Derision
.
To
be
reveng'd
of
this
Affront
,
the
Papimen
some
days
after
,
without
giving
the
others
the
least
warning
,
to●k
Arms
,
and
surpriz'd
,
destroy'd
,
and
ruin'd
the
whole
Island
of
the
Gaillardets
,
putting
the
Men
to
the
Sword
,
and
sparing
none
but
the
Women
and
Children
,
and
those
too
only
on
Condition
to
do
what
the
Inhabitants
of
Milan
were
condemn'd
to
,
by
the
Emperor
Frederick
Barbarossa
.
These
had
rebell'd
against
him
in
his
absence
,
and
ignominiously
turn'd
the
Empress
out
of
the
City
,
mounting
her
a
Horse-back
on
a
Mule
call'd
Thacor
,
with
her
Breech
foremost
toward
the
Old
jaded
Mules
head
,
and
her
Face
turn'd
towards
the
Crupper
:
Now
,
Frederick
being
return'd
,
master'd
them
,
and
caus'd
so
careful
a
Search
to
be
made
,
that
he
found
out
,
and
got
the
famous
Mule
Thacor
.
Then
the
Hang-man
by
his
order
,
clap'd
a
Fig
into
the
Mules
Jim-crack
,
in
the
Presence
of
the
inslav'd
Citts
that
were
brought
into
the
middle
of
the
great
Market-Place
,
and
proclaim'd
,
in
the
Emperor's
Name
,
with
Trumpets
,
that
whosoever
of
them
would
save
his
own
Life
,
should
publickly
pull
the
Fig
out
with
his
Teeth
,
and
after
that
put
it
in
again
in
the
very
individual
Cranny
whence
he
had
draw'd
it
,
without
using
his
hands
;
and
that
whoever
refus'd
to
do
this
,
should
presently
swing
for
't
,
and
die
in
his
Shoes
.
Some
sturdy
Fools
,
standing
upon
their
Punctilio
,
chose
Honourably
to
be
hang'd
rather
than
submit
to
so
shameful
,
and
abominable
a
Disgrace
;
and
others
,
less
nice
in
Point
of
Ceremony
,
took
heart
of
Grace
,
and
ev'n
resolv'd
to
have
at
the
Fig
,
and
a
Fig
for
't
,
rather
than
make
a
worse
Figure
with
a
hempen
Collar
,
and
die
in
the
Air
,
at
so
short
Warning
:
accordingly
when
they
had
neatly
pick'd
out
the
Fig
with
their
Teeth
from
old
Thacor's
Snatch-blatch
,
they
plainly
show'd
it
the
Heads-man
,
saying
,
Ecco
lo
fico
,
(
behold
the
Fig.
)
By
the
same
Ignominy
the
rest
of
these
poor
distress'd
Guallardets
sav'd
their
Bacon
,
b●coming
Tributaries
and
Slaves
,
and
the
Name
of
Pope-Figs
was
given
them
,
because
they
had
said
,
A
Fig
for
the
Pope●s
Image
.
Since
this
,
the
poor
Wretches
never
prosper'd
,
but
every
year
the
Devil
was
at
their
Doors
,
and
they
were
plagu'd
with
Hail
,
Storms
,
Famine
and
all
manner
of
Woes
,
as
an
everlasting
Punishment
for
the
Sin
of
their
Ancestors
and
Relations
.
Perceiving
the
Misery
and
Calamity
of
that
Generation
,
we
did
not
care
to
go
further
up
into
the
Country
,
contenting
our selves
with
going
into
a
little
Chappel
near
the
Haven
to
take
some
Holy
water
.
It
was
dilapidated
and
ruin'd
,
wanting
also
a
Cover
(
like
St.
Peter
at
Rome
)
When
we
were
in
,
as
we
dip'd
our
Fingers
in
the
sanctifi'd
Cistern
,
we
spy'd
in
the
middle
of
that
Holy
Pickle
a
Fellow
muffled
up
with
Stoles
all
under
water
,
like
a
diving
Duck
,
except
the
tip
of
his
Snout
to
draw
his
Breath
.
About
him
,
stood
three
Priests
,
true
shavelings
,
clean
shorn
and
poli'd
,
who
were
muttering
strange
words
to
the
Devils
out
of
a
Conjuring
Book
.
Pantagruel
was
not
a
little
amaz'd
at
this
,
and
,
inquiring
what
kind
of
sport
these
were
at
,
was
told
,
that
,
for
Three
years
last
past
,
the
Plague
had
so
dreadfully
rag'd
in
the
Island
,
that
the
better
half
of
it
had
been
utterly
depopulated
,
and
the
Lands
lay
Fallow
without
Owners
.
Now
the
mortality
being
over
,
this
same
Fellow
,
who
was
crept
into
the
Holy
Tub
,
having
a
large
piece
of
Ground
;
chanc'd
to
be
Sowing
it
with
White
winter
Wheat
;
at
the
very
minute
of
an
hour
that
a
kind
of
a
Silly
sucking
Devil
,
who
could
not
yet
Write
or
Read
,
or
Hail
and
Thunder
,
unless
it
were
on
Parsly
or
Colworts
,
had
got
leave
of
his
Master
Lucifer
to
go
into
this
Island
of
Pope-figs
,
where
the
Devils
were
very
familiar
with
the
Men
and
Women
,
and
often
went
to
take
their
Pastime
.
This
same
Devil
being
got
thither
,
di●●cted
his
Discourse
to
the
Husband-man
,
and
ask'd
him
what
he
was
doing
.
The
poor
Man
told
him
,
that
he
was
Sowing
this
ground
with
Corn
to
help
him
to
subsist
the
next
year
.
Ay
,
but
the
Ground
is
none
of
thine
,
Mr.
Plough
●obber
,
cry'd
the●
Devil
,
but
mine
:
For
,
since
the
time
that
you
mock'd
the
Pope
,
all
this
Land
has
been
proscrib'd
,
adjudg'd
,
and
abandon'd
to
us
.
However
,
to
sow
Corn
is
not
my
Province
;
therefore
I
will
give
thee
leave
to
sow
the
Field
;
that
is
to
say
,
provided
we
share
the
Profit
.
I
will
,
reply'd
the
Farmer
.
I
mean
,
said
the
Devil
,
that
,
of
what
the
Land
shall
bear
,
two
Lots
shall
be
made
,
one
of
what
shall
grow
above
Ground
,
the
other
of
what
shall
be
cover'd
with
Earth
;
the
right
of
chusing
belongs
to
me
,
for
I
am
a
Devil
of
noble
and
ancient
Race
;
thou
art
a
base
Clown
.
I
therefore
chuse
what
shall
lye
under
ground
,
take
thou
what
shall
be
above
.
When
dost
thou
reckon
to
reap
,
hah
?
About
the
middle
of
July
,
quoth
the
Farmer
.
Well
,
said
the
Devil
,
I
'll
not
fail
thee
then
:
In
the
mean
time
,
slave
as
thou
oughtest
.
Work
,
Clown
,
wo●k
:
I
am
going
to
tempt
to
the
pleasing
Sin
of
whoring
,
the
Nuns
of
D●●fart
,
the
Sham-saints
of
the
Cowle
,
and
the
Gluttonish
Crew
;
I
am
more
than
sure
of
these
.
There
needs
but
meet
,
and
the
Job's
done
;
true
Fire
and
Tinder
,
touch
and
take
;
down
falls
Nun
,
and
up
gets
Fryar
.

How
a
Junior
Devil
was
fool'd
by
a
Husband-man
of
Pope-Figland
.
ON
the
middle
of
July
,
the
Devil
came
to
the
place
aforesaid
,
with
all
his
Crew
at
his
Heels
,
a
whole
Quire
of
the
younger
Fry
of
Hell
,
and
having
met
the
Farmer
,
said
to
him
;
Well
,
Clod-pate
,
how
hast
thou
done
,
since
I
went
?
Thou
and
I
must
now
share
the
Concern
.
Ay
Master
Devil
,
quoth
the
Clown
,
't
is
but
reason
we
should
.
Then
he
and
his
Men
began
to
cut
and
reap
the
Corn
:
And
on
the
other
side
the
Devil's
Imps
fell
to
work
,
grubbing
up
,
and
pulling
out
the
stubble
by
the
Root
.
The
Country-man
had
his
Corn
thrash'd
,
Winnow'd
it
,
put
it
into
Sacks
,
and
went
with
it
to
Market
.
The
same
did
the
Devil's
Servants
,
and
sate
them
down
there
by
the
Man
,
to
sell
their
Straw
.
The
Country-man
sold
off
his
Corn
at
a
good
rate
,
and
with
the
Money
fill'd
an
old
kind
of
a
Demy-Buskin
,
which
was
fasten'd
to
his
Girdle
;
but
the
Devil
a
Sous
the
Devils
took
;
far
from
taking
Hansel
,
they
were
flouted
,
and
jeer'd
by
the
Country
Louts
.
Market
being
over
,
quoth
the
Devil
to
the
Farmer
,
well
Clown
thou
hast
chous'd
me
once
,
't
is
thy
Fault
;
chouse
me
twice
,
't
will
be
mine
.
Nay
,
good
Sir
Devil
,
reply'd
the
Farmer
,
how
can
I
be
said
to
have
chous'd
you
since
't
was
your
worship
that
chose
first
.
The
truth
is
that
by
this
trick
you
thought
to
cheat
me
,
hoping
that
nothing
would
spring
out
of
the
Earth
for
my
share
,
and
that
you
should
find
whole
under
ground
the
Corn
which
I
had
sow'd
,
and
with
it
tempt
the
poor
and
needy
,
the
close
Hypocrite
,
or
the
Covetous
Gripe
,
thus
making
them
fall
into
your
snares
.
But
troth
,
you
must
e'n
go
to
School
yet
,
you
are
no
Conjurer
,
for
ought
I
see
:
For
,
the
Corn
that
was
sow'd
is
dead
and
rotten
,
its
Corruption
having
caus'd
the
generation
of
that
which
you
saw
me
sell
:
so
you
chose
the
worst
,
and
therefore
are
curs'd
in
the
Gospel
.
Well
,
talk
no
more
on
't
,
quoth
the
Devil
:
what
can'st
thou
sow
our
Field
with
for
next
Year
?
If
a
Man
would
make
the
best
on
't
,
answer'd
the
Ploughman
,
't
were
fit
he
sow
it
with
Radish
.
Now
cry'd
the
Devil
,
thou
talkst
like
an
honest
Fellow
,
Bumpkin
,
well
,
sow
me
good
store
of
Radish
,
I
'll
see
and
keep
them
safe
from
storms
,
and
will
not
hail
a
bit
on
them
;
but
harke
'
e
me
,
this
time
I
bespeak
for
my
share
what
shall
be
above
ground
,
what
's
under
shall
be
thine
:
Drudge
on
,
Looby
,
drudge
on
.
I
am
going
to
tempt
hereticks
,
their
Souls
are
dainty
victuals
when
broil'd
in
Rashers
and
well
powder'd
.
My
Lord
Lucifer
has
the
griping
in
the
guts
,
they
'l
make
a
dainty
warm
dish
for
his
Honour's
Maw
.
When
the
season
of
Radishes
was
come
,
our
Devil
fail'd
not
to
meet
in
the
Field
with
a
train
of
rascally
underlings
,
all
waiting
Devils
,
and
finding
there
the
Farmer
and
his
Men
,
he
began
to
cut
and
gather
the
Leaves
of
the
Radishes
.
After
him
the
Farmer
with
his
Spade
digg'd
up
the
Radishes
,
and
clapt
them
up
into
pouches
.
This
done
,
the
Devil
,
the
Farmer
,
and
their
gangs
hy'd
them
to
Market
,
and
there
〈◊〉
Farmer
presently
made
good
Mony
of
his
R●dishes
;
but
the
poor
Devil
took
nothing
,
nay
what
was
worse
he
was
made
a
common
laughing
stock
by
the
gaping
hoydons
.
I
see
thou
hast
play'd
me
a
scurvy
trick
,
thou
villainous
Fellow
,
(
cry'd
the
angry
Devil
,
)
at
last
I
am
fully
resolv'd
e'en
to
make
an
end
of
the
business
between
thee
and
my self
about
the
Ground
,
and
these
shall
be
the
Terms
;
we
'll
chapperclaw
each
〈◊〉
and
whoever
of
us
two
shall
first
〈…〉
shall
quit
his
share
of
the
Field
,
whic●
〈◊〉
wholly
belong
to
the
Conqueror
.
I
〈…〉
Time
for
this
Tryal
of
Skill
on
thi●
〈◊〉
●●●night
.
Assure
thy self
that
I
'll
cla●
〈◊〉
off
like
a
Devil
.
I
was
going
to
temp●
〈◊〉
Fornicators
,
Bayliffs
,
Perplexers
of
〈◊〉
Scriveners
,
forgers
of
Deeds
,
two-handed
Counsellors
,
prevaricating
Sollicitors
,
and
other
such
vermine
;
but
they
were
so
civ●
as
to
send
me
word
by
an
Interpreter
,
that
they
are
all
mine
already
:
Besides
,
our
Master
Lucifer
is
so
cloy'd
with
their
Souls
,
that
he
often
sends
them
back
to
the
smutty
Scullions
and
slovenly
Devils
,
of
his
Kitchin
,
and
they
scarce
go
down
with
him
,
unless
now
and
then
,
when
they
are
high-season'd
.
Some
say
there
is
no
Breakfast
like
a
Student's
,
no
dinner
like
a
Lawyer
's
,
no
afternoon's
nunchion
like
a
Vintner's
,
no
supper
like
a
Tradesman's
,
no
second
supper
like
a
serving
Wench's
,
and
none
of
these
Meals
together
like
a
frockifi'd
Hobgoblin's
.
All
this
is
true
enough
;
accordingly
at
my
Lord
Lucifer's
first
Course
Hobgoblings
,
alias
Imps
in
Cowles
,
are
a
standing
Dish
.
He
willingly
us'd
to
breakfast
on
Students
;
but
alas
,
I
do
not
know
by
what
Ill
Luck
,
they
have
of
late
years
joyn'd
the
holy
Bible
to
their
Studies
;
so
the
Devil
a
one
we
can
get
down
among
us
,
and
I
verily
believe
that
unless
the
Hypocrites
of
the
Tribe
of
Levi
help
us
in
it
;
taking
from
the
inlightned
Book-mongers
their
St.
Paul
,
either
by
Threats
,
Revilings
,
Force
,
Violence
,
Fire
and
Faggot
,
we
shall
not
be
able
to
hook-in
any
more
of
them
,
to
nibble
at
below
.
He
dines
commonly
on
Counsellors
,
Mischief-mongers
,
Multiplyers
of
Law-suits
,
such
as
wrest
and
pervert
Right
and
Law
,
and
Grind
and
Fleece
the
Poor
:
He
never
fears
to
want
any
of
these
.
But
who
can
endure
to
be
wedded
to
a
Dish
?
He
said
t'other
Day
at
a
full
Chapter
,
that
he
had
a
great
mind
to
eat
the
Soul
of
one
of
the
Fraternity
of
the
Cowle
that
had
forgot
to
speak
for
himself
,
in
his
Sermon
,
and
he
promis'd
double
Pay
,
and
a
large
Pension
,
to
any
one
that
should
bring
him
such
a
Tit-bit
piping-hot
.
We
all
went
a
hunting
after
such
a
Rarity
,
but
came
home
without
the
Prey
;
for
they
all
admonish
the
good
Women
to
remember
their
Convent
.
As
for
afternoon
Nunchions
,
he
has
left
them
off
,
since
he
was
so
wofully
grip'd
with
the
Colic
,
his
Fosterers
,
Sutlers
,
Char-Coalmen
,
and
boyling
Cooks
having
been
sadly
mawl'd
and
pepper'd
off
in
the
Northern
Countries
.
His
high
Devil-ship
sups
very
well
on
Tradesmen
,
Usurers
,
Apothecaries
,
Cheats
,
Coyners
,
and
Adulterers
of
Wares
.
Now
and
then
when
he
is
on
the
merry
pin
,
his
second
supper
is
of
serving
Wenches
who
,
after
they
have
by
stealth
soak'd
their
Faces
with
their
Masters
good
Liquor
,
fill
up
the
Vessel
with
it
at
second
hand
,
or
with
other
stinking
Water
.
Well
,
drudge
on
,
Boor
,
drudge
on
;
I
am
going
to
tempt
the
Students
of
Trebisonde
,
to
leave
Father
and
Mother
,
forgo
for
ever
the
establish'd
and
common
rule
of
living
;
disclaim
and
free
themselves
from
obeying
their
lawfull
Sovereign's
Edicts
,
live
in
absolute
Liberty
,
proudly
despise
every
one
,
laugh
at
all
Mankind
,
and
taking
the
fine
jovial
little
Cap
of
Poetic
License
,
become
so
many
pretty
Hobgoblins
.
CHAP.

.
How
the
Devil
was
deceiv'd
by
an
Old
Woman
of
Popefig-land
.
THE
Country
Lob
trudg'd
home
very
much
concern'd
and
thoughtfull
,
you
may
swear
;
in
so
much
that
his
good
Woman
,
seeing
him
thus
look
moping
,
ween'd
that
something
had
been
stolen
from
him
at
market
;
but
when
she
had
heard
the
cause
of
his
affliction
,
and
seen
his
Budget
well
lin'd
with
Coyn
,
she
bad
him
be
of
good
Cheer
,
assuring
him
that
he
'd
be
never
the
worse
for
the
scratching
Bout
in
question
,
wishing
him
only
to
leave
her
to
manage
that
business
and
not
trouble
his
head
about
it
:
for
she
had
already
contriv'd
how
to
bring
him
off
cleaverly
.
Let
the
worst
,
come
to
the
worst
,
said
the
Husbandman
,
it
will
be
but
a
scratch
,
for
I
'll
yield
at
the
first
stroke
,
and
quit
the
Field
.
Quit
a
Fa●t
reply'd
the
Wife
,
he
shall
have
none
of
the
Field
,
rely
upon
me
and
be
quiet
,
let
me
alone
to
deal
with
him
.
You
say
he
's
a
pimping
little
Devil
,
that
's
enough
;
I
'll
soon
make
him
give
up
the
Field
,
I
'll
warrant
you
:
Indeed
had
he
been
a
great
Devil
,
it
had
been
somewhat
.
The
day
that
we
landed
in
the
Island
happen'd
to
be
that
which
the
Devil
had
fix'd
for
the
Combat
.
Now
the
Countryman
,
having
like
a
good
Catholic
very
fairly
confessed
himself
and
received
,
betimes
in
the
morning
,
by
the
advice
of
his
Vicar
had
hid
himself
,
all
but
the
snout
,
in
the
holy
Water-stock
in
the
Posture
in
which
we
found
him
:
And
just
as
they
were
telling
us
this
story
,
News
came
that
the
old
Woman
had
fool'd
the
Devil
,
and
gain'd
the
Field
:
You
may
not
be
sorry
perhaps
to
hear
how
this
happen'd
.
The
Devil
,
you
must
know
,
came
to
the
poor
Man's
Door
and
rapping
there
,
cry'd
so
hoe
,
ho
the
House
,
hoe
Clod-pate
,
where
art
thou
?
Come
out
with
a
vengance
,
come
out
with
a
wannion
,
come
out
and
be
damn'd
;
now
for
clawing
;
then
briskly
and
resolutely
entring
the
House
,
and
not
finding
the
Country
Man
there
,
he
spy'd
his
Wife
lying
on
the
ground
pitiously
weeping
and
howling
:
What
's
the
matter
?
ask'd
the
Devil
,
where
is
he
?
What
does
he
?
Oh!
that
I
knew
where
he
is
,
reply'd
Threescore
and
five
,
the
wicked
Rogue
,
the
Butcherly
Dog
,
the
Murtherer
?
He
has
spoyl'd
me
,
I
am
undone
,
I
dye
of
what
he
has
done
me
.
How
,
cry'd
the
Devil
,
what
is
it
?
I
'll
tickle
him
off
for
you
by
and
by
.
Alas
cry'd
the
old
Dissembler
,
he
told
me
,
the
Butcher
,
the
Tyrant
,
the
Tearer
of
Devils
,
that
he
had
made
a
match
to
scratch
with
you
this
Day
,
and
to
try
his
Clawes
,
he
did
but
just
touch
me
with
his
little
Finger
,
here
betwixt
the
Legs
,
and
has
spoyl'd
me
for
ever
.
Oh!
I
am
a
dead
Woman
,
I
shall
never
be
my self
again
:
do
but
see
!
nay
and
besides
he
talk'd
of
going
to
the
Smiths
to
have
his
Pounces
sharpen'd
and
pointed
.
Alas
you
are
undone
,
Mr.
Devil
;
good
Sir
,
scamper
quick●y
,
I
am
sure
he
won't
stay
;
save
your self
,
I
beseech
you
:
While
she
said
this
,
she
uncover'd
her self
up
to
the
Chin
,
after
the
manner
in
which
the
Persian
Women
met
their
Children
,
who
fled
from
the
fight
,
and
plainly
shew'd
her
What
de'
e
call
them
.
The
frighted
Devil
,
seeing
the
enormous
Solution
of
the
Continuity
in
all
its
dimensions
,
blest
himself
,
cry'd
out
,
Mahon
,
Demiourgon
,
Megaera
,
Alecto
,
Persephone
:
s'Life
,
catch
me
here
when
he
comes
!
I
am
gon
,
s'Death
what
a
gash
!
I
resign
him
the
Field
.
Having
heard
the
Catastrophe
of
the
Story
,
we
retired
a
ship-board
not
being
willing
to
stay
there
any
longer
.
Pantagruel
gave
to
the
Poors-Box
of
the
Fabrick
of
the
Church
,
eighteen
thousand
gold
Royals
in
commiseration
of
the
Poverty
of
the
People
,
and
the
Calamity
of
the
place
.
CHAP.
XLVIII
.
How
Pantagruel
went
ashoar
at
the
Island
of
Papimany
.
HAving
left
the
desolate
Island
of
the
Popefigs
,
we
sailed
for
the
space
of
a
day
very
fairly
and
merrily
,
and
made
the
blessed
Island
of
Papimany
.
As
soon
as
we
had
dropt
Anchor
in
the
Road
,
before
we
had
well-moor'd
our
Ship
with
ground
Tackle
,
four
Persons
in
different
Garbs
row'd
towards
us
in
a
Skiff
.
One
of
them
was
dress'd
like
a
Monk
in
his
Frock
,
draggle-tail'd
and
Booted
:
The
other
like
a
Falkoner
with
a
Lure
and
a
long-wing'd
Hawk
on
his
Fist
:
the
third
like
a
Sollicitor
,
with
a
large
Bag
,
full
of
Informations
,
Subpoena's
,
Breviates
Bill●
,
Writs
,
Cases
,
and
other
Implements
of
Pettifogging
.
The
fourth
look'd
like
one
of
your
Vine
Barbers
about
Orleans
,
with
a
●an●●e
pair
of
Canvass
Trowzers
,
a
Dosser
and
a
Pruning
Knife
at
his
Girdle
.
As
soon
as
the
Boat
had
clap'd
them
on
Board
,
they
all
with
one
Voice
ask'd
,
Have
you
seen
him
,
good
Passengers
,
have
you
seen
him
?
Who
,
ask'd
Pantagruel
?
You
know
who
,
answer'd
they
.
Who
is
it
,
ask'd
Fryar
Jhon
,
'sblood
and
●onds
,
I
'll
thrash
him
thick
and
threefold
?
This
he
said
,
thinking
that
they
enquir'd
after
some
Robber
,
Murtherer
,
or
Church-breaker
.
Oh
wonderful
,
cry'd
the
four
,
do
not
you
foreign
People
know
the
One
?
Sirs
,
reply'd
Epistemon
,
we
do
not
understand
those
Terms
;
but
if
you
will
be
pleas'd
to
let
us
know
who
you
mean
,
we
'll
tell
you
the
truth
of
the
matter
without
any
more
ado
.
We
mean
,
said
they
,
he
that
is
;
did
you
ever
see
him
?
He
that
is
,
return'd
Pantagruel
,
according
to
our
Theological
Doctrine
,
is
God
,
who
said
to
Moses
,
I
am
that
I
am
:
We
never
saw
him
,
nor
can
he
be
beheld
by
Mortal
Eyes
.
We
meant
nothing
less
than
that
supream
God
who
rules
in
Heaven
,
reply'd
they
,
we
spoke
of
the
God
on
Earth
,
did
you
ever
see
him
?
Upon
my
Honour
,
cry'd
Carpalim
,
they
mean
the
Pope
.
Ay
,
ay
,
answer'd
Panurge
,
yea
verily
,
Gentlemen
,
I
have
seen
three
of
them
,
whose
sight
has
not
much
better'd
me
.
How
!
cry●d
they
,
our
Sacred
Decreta●s
inform
us
,
that
there
never
is
more
than
one
living
.
I
mean
successively
,
one
after
the
other
,
return'd
Panurge
;
otherwise
I
never
saw
more
than
one
at
a
time
.
O
thrice
and
four
times
happy
People
,
cry'd
they
,
you
are
welcom
and
more
than
double-welcom
!
They
then
kneel'd
down
before
us
and
would
have
kiss'd
our
Feet
,
but
we
would
not
suffer
it
,
telling
them
,
that
,
should
the
Pope
come
thither
in
his
own
Person
,
't
is
all
they
could
do
to
him
.
No
,
certainly
,
answer'd
they
,
for
we
have
already
resolv'd
upon
the
matter
.
We
would
kiss
his
bare
Arse
,
without
boggling
at
it
,
and
eke
his
two
Pounders
;
for
he
has
a
pair
of
them
,
the
Holy
Father
,
that
he
has
;
we
find
it
so
by
our
fine
Decretals
,
otherwise
he
could
not
be
Pope
.
So
that
according
to
our
subtile
Decretalin
Philosophy
,
this
is
a
necessary
Consequence
;
he
is
Pope
,
therefore
he
has
Genitories
;
and
,
should
Genitories
no
more
be
found
in
the
World
,
the
World
could
no
more
have
a
Pope
.
While
they
were
talking
thus
,
Pantagruel
enquir'd
of
one
of
their
Coxswain's
Crew
,
who
those
Persons
were
?
he
answer'd
,
that
they
were
the
four
Estates
of
the
Island
,
and
added
that
we
should
be
made
as
welcom
as
Princes
,
since
we
had
seen
the
Pope
.
Panurge
having
been
acquainted
with
this
by
Pantagruel
,
said
to
him
in
his
Ear
,
I
swear
and
vow
,
Sir
,
't
is
even
so
,
he
that
has
patience
may
compass
any
thing
.
Seeing
the
Pope
had
done
us
no
good
,
now
in
the
Devil's
name
,
't
will
do
us
a
great
deal
.
We
then
went
ashoar
,
and
the
whole
Country
,
Men
,
Women
and
Children
came
to
meet
us
as
in
a
solemn
Procession
.
Our
four
Estates
cry'd
out
to
them
with
a
loud
voice
;
they
have
seen
him
,
they
have
seen
him
,
they
have
seen
him
.
That
Proclamation
being
made
,
all
the
Mob
kneeled
down
before
us
,
lifting
up
their
Hands
towards
Heaven
,
and
crying
;
O
happy
Men
!
O
most
happy
.
And
this
Acclamation
lasted
above
a
quarter
of
an
hour
.
Then
came
the
Busby
of
the
place
with
all
his
Pedagogues
,
Usher's
,
and
School
boys
,
whom
he
Magisterially
flogg'd
,
as
they
us'd
to
whip
Children
in
our
Country
,
formerly
when
some
Criminal
was
hang'd
,
that
they
might
remember
it
.
This
displeas'd
Pantagruel
,
who
said
to
them
;
Gentlemen
,
if
you
do
not
leave
off
whipping
these
poor
Children
,
I
'm
gone
.
The
People
were
amaz'd
hear
-
his
Stentorean
voice
;
and
I
saw
a
little
Hump
with
long
Fingers
,
say
to
the
Hypodidascal
;
what
!
In
the
name
of
Wonder
,
do
all
those
that
see
the
Pope
grow
as
tall
as
yon
●●ge
Fellow
that
threatens
us
?
Ah!
How
I
shall
think
time
long
,
till
I
have
seen
him
too
,
that
I
may
grow
and
look
as
big
.
In
short
,
the
Acclamations
were
so
great
,
that
H●menas
(
so
they
call
their
Bishop
)
hasten'd
thi●her
on
an
unbridled
Mule
,
with
green
Trappings
,
attended
by
his
Aposts
(
as
they
●aid
)
and
his
Supposts
or
Officers
,
bearing
Crosses
,
Banners
,
Standards
,
Canopies
,
Torches
,
Holy-water
pots
,
&c.
He
too
wanted
to
kiss
our
Feet
(
as
the
good
Christian
Va●sinter
did
to
Pope
Clement
)
saying
,
that
one
of
their
●●●oth●tes
,
that
's
one
of
the
Scavengers
,
Scowrers
and
Commentators
of
their
Holy
Decretals
,
had
written
,
that
,
in
the
same
manner
as
the
Messiah
,
so
long
and
so
much
expected
by
the
Jews
,
at
last
appear'd
among
them
;
so
on
some
happy
day
of
God
the
Pope
would
come
into
that
Island
;
and
that
,
while
they
waited
for
that
blessed
time
,
if
any
who
had
seen
him
at
Rome
,
or
elsewhere
,
chanc'd
to
come
among
them
,
they
should
be
sure
to
make
much
of
them
,
feast
them
plentifully
,
and
Treat
them
with
a
great
deal
of
Reverence
.
However
we
civilly
desir'd
to
be
excus'd
.
CHAP.
XLIX

How
Homenas
Bishop
of
Papimany
shew'd
us
the
Uranopet
Decretals
.
HOmenas
then
said
to
us
:
'T
is
enjoyn'd
us
by
our
Holy
Decretals
to
visit
Churches
first
,
and
Taverns
after
.
Therefore
not
to
decline
that
fine
Institution
,
let
us
go
to
Church
;
we
shall
afterwards
go
to
Feast
our selves
.
Man
of
God
,
quoth
Fryar
Jhon
,
do
you
go
before
,
we
'll
follow
you
,
you
spoke
in
the
matter
properly
and
like
a
good
Christian
,
't
is
long
since
we
saw
any
such
.
For
my
part
,
this
rejoyces
my
mind
very
much
,
and
I
verily
believe
that
I
shall
have
the
better
Stomach
after
it
;
well
,
't
is
a
happy
thing
to
meet
with
good
Men
!
Being
come
near
the
Gate
of
the
Church
,
we
spy'd
a
huge
thick
Book
,
gilt
and
covered
all
over
with
precious
Stones
,
as
Rubies
Emeralds
,
and
Pearls
,
more
,
or
at
least
as
valuable
as
those
which
Augustus
consecrated
to
Jupiter
Capitolinus
.
This
Book
hang'd
in
the
Air
,
being
fasten'd
with
two
thick
Chains
of
Gold
to
the
Zoophore
of
the
Porch
.
We
look'd
on
it
,
and
admir'd
it
.
As
for
Pantagruel
he
handled
it
,
and
dandled
it
,
and
turn'd
it
as
he
pleas'd
,
for
he
could
reach
it
without
straining
;
and
he
protested
,
that
whenever
he
touch'd
it
,
he
was
seiz'd
with
a
pleasant
tickling
at
his
Fingers
end
,
new
Life
and
Activity
in
his
Arms
,
and
a
violent
temptation
in
his
Mind
to
beat
one
or
two
Sergeants
or
such
Officers
,
provided
they
were
not
of
the
Shaveling-kind
.
Homenas
then
said
to
us
,
The
Law
was
formerly
given
to
the
Jews
by
Moses
,
written
by
God
himself
;
at
Delphos
before
the
Portal
of
Apol●o's
Temple
,
this
Sentence
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
was
found
written
with
a
Divine
Hand
,
and
sometime
after
it
was
also
seen
,
and
as
Divinely
written
and
transmitted
from
Heaven
.
Cybele's
Shrine
was
brought
out
of
Heaven
into
a
Field
call'd
Penisunt
in
Phrygia
;
so
was
that
of
D●●a
to
Tauris
,
if
you
will
believe
Euripides
;
the
Oriflambe
,
or
Holy
Standard
was
transmitted
out
of
Heaven
to
the
Noble
and
most
Christian
Kings
of
France
to
fight
against
the
Unbelievers
.
In
the
Reign
of
Numa
Pompilius
,
second
King
of
the
Romans
,
the
famous
Copper
Buckler
call'd
Ancile
was
seen
to
descend
from
Heaven
.
At
Acropolis
near
Athens
,
Minerva's
Statue
formerly
fell
from
the
Empyreal
Heaven
.
In
like
manner
the
sacred
Decretals
,
which
you
see
,
were
written
with
the
hand
of
an
Angel
of
the
Cherubin-kind
;
you
Outlandish
People
will
hardly
believe
this
,
I
fear
?
Little
enough
of
Conscience
;
said
Panurge
.
—
And
then
,
continued
Homenas
,
they
were
miraculously
transmitted
to
us
here
from
the
very
Heaven
of
Heavens
in
the
same
manner
as
the
River
Nile
is
call'd
Diipetes
by
Homer
the
Father
of
all
Philosophy
(
the
holy
Decretals
always
excepted
.
)
Now
because
you
have
seen
the
Pope
,
their
Evangelist
and
everlasting
Protector
,
we
will
give
you
leave
to
see
and
kiss
them
on
the
Inside
,
if
you
think
it
meet
.
But
then
you
must
fast
Three
days
before
,
and
Canonically
confess
,
nicely
and
strictly
mustering
up
,
and
inventorising
your
Sins
great
and
small
,
so
thick
that
one
single
Circumstance
of
them
may
not
sc●pe
you
,
as
our
holy
Decretals
,
which
you
see
,
direct
.
This
will
take
up
some
time
.
Man
of
God
,
answer'd
Panurge
,
we
have
seen
and
descry'd
Decrees
and
eke
Decretals
enough
o'
Conscience
,
some
on
Paper
other
on
Parchment
fine
and
gay
like
any
painted
Paper
Lantern
,
some
on
Vellom
,
some
in
Manuscript
,
and
others
in
Print
;
so
you
need
not
take
half
this
Pains
to
shew
us
these
.
We
'll
take
the
Good-will
for
the
Deed
,
and
thank
you
as
much
as
if
we
had
.
Ay
Marry
,
said
Homenas
,
but
you
never
saw
these
that
are
Angelically
written
.
Those
in
your
Country
,
are
only
Transcripts
from
ours
,
as
we
find
it
written
by
one
of
our
old
Decretaline
Scoliasts
.
For
me
;
Do
not
spare
me
,
I
do
not
value
the
Labour
,
so
I
may
serve
you
;
do
but
tell
me
whether
you
will
be
confest
,
and
fast
only
three
short
little
days
of
God
?
As
for
shriving
,
answer'd
Panurge
,
there
can
be
no
great
harm
in
't
,
but
this
same
Fasting
,
Master
of
mine
,
will
hardly
down
with
us
at
this
time
;
for
we
have
so
very
much
over-fasted
our selves
at
Sea
,
that
the
Spiders
have
spun
their
Cobwebs
over
our
Grinders
.
Do
but
look
on
this
good
Fryar
Ihon
des
Entomeures
(
Homenas
then
courteously
Demy-clipp'd
him
about
the
Neck
)
some
Moss
is
growing
in
his
Throat
for
want
of
bestirring
and
exercising
his
Chaps
.
He
speaks
the
Truth
,
vouch'd
Fryar
Ihon
,
I
have
so
much
fasted
,
that
I
'm
almost
grown
hump-shoulder'd
.
Come
then
,
let
's
go
into
the
Church
,
said
Homenas
,
and
pray
forgive
us
if
for
the
Present
we
do
not
sing
you
a
fine
high
Mass
:
The
hour
of
Mid-day
is
past
,
and
after
it
our
sacred
Decretals
forbid
us
to
sing
Mass
,
I
mean
your
high
and
lawful
Mass
.
But
I
'll
say
a
low
and
dry
one
for
you
.
I
had
rather
have
one
moistened
with
some
good
Anjou
Wine
,
cry'd
Panurge
;
fall
to
,
fall
to
your
low
Mass
,
and
dispatch
.
Od's
Bodikins
,
quoth
Fryar
Ihon
,
it
frets
me
to
the
Guts
that
I
must
have
an
empty
Stomach
at
this
time
of
day
.
For
,
had
I
eaten
a
good
Breakfast
,
and
fed
like
a
Monk
,
if
he
should
chance
to
sing
us
the
Requiem
aeternam
dona
eis
,
domine
,
I
had
then
brought
thither
Bread
and
Wine
for
the
Traits
passes
,
(
those
that
are
gone
before
.
)
Well
,
Patience
;
Pull
away
,
and
save
a
Tide
,
short
and
sweet
,
I
pray
you
,
and
this
for
a
Cause
.
CHAP.
L.
How
Homenas
show'd
us
the
Arch-Type
,
or
Representation
of
a
Pope
.
MAss
being
mumbled
over
,
Homenas
took
a
huge
bundle
of
Keys
out
of
a
Trunk
near
the
Head
Altar
,
and
put
Thirty
two
of
them
into
so
many
Key-holes
,
put
back
so
many
Springs
,
then
with
Fourteen
more
master'd
so
many
Padlocks
,
and
at
last
open'd
an
Iron-Window
strongly
barr'd
above
the
said
Altar
.
This
being
done
,
in
token
of
great
Mystery
,
he
cover'd
himself
with
wet
Sackcloth
,
and
drawing
a
Curtain
of
Crimson
Sattin
,
show'd
us
an
Image
daub'd
over
coursly
enough
,
to
my
thinking
;
then
he
touch'd
it
with
a
pretty
long
stick
,
and
made
us
all
kiss
the
part
of
the
Stick
that
had
touch'd
the
Image
.
After
this
he
said
to
us
,
What
think
you
of
this
Image
?
It
is
the
Likeness
of
a
Pope
,
answer'd
Pantagruel
;
I
know
it
by
the
Tripple
Crown
,
his
Furr'd
Aumusse
,
his
Rochet
,
and
his
Slipper
.
You
are
in
the
right
,
said
Homenas
;
it
is
the
Idea
of
that
same
good
God
on
Earth
,
whose
coming
we
devoutly
await
,
and
whom
we
hope
one
day
to
see
in
this
Country
.
O
happy
,
wish'd
for
,
and
much
expected
day
;
and
happy
,
most
happy
,
you
whose
propitious
Stars
have
so
far
favour'd
you
as
to
let
you
see
the
living
and
real
Face
of
this
good
God
on
Earth
,
by
the
single
sight
of
whose
Picture
we
obtain
full
Remission
of
all
the
Sins
which
we
remember
,
that
we
have
committed
,
as
also
a
Third
part
,
and
Eighteen
Quarantaines
of
the
Sins
which
we
have
forgot
:
And
indeed
we
only
see
it
on
high
annual
Holy
days
.
This
caus'd
Pantagruel
to
say
that
it
was
a
Work
like
those
which
Daedalus
us'd
to
make
;
since
tho'
it
were
deform'd
and
ill
drawn
,
nevertheless
some
divine
Energy
in
Point
of
Pardons
lay
hid
and
conceal'd
in
it
.
Thus
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
,
at
Sevillé
,
the
raskally
Beggers
being
one
Evening
on
a
Solemn
Holy-day
at
Supper
in
the
Spittle
,
one
bragg'd
of
having
got
Six
Blancs
,
or
Two
pence
Half-penny
,
another
Eight
Liards
or
Two
pence
,
a
Third
Seven
Carolus's
or
Six
pence
;
but
an
old
Mumper
made
his
Vaunts
of
having
got
three
Testons
,
or
five
Shillings
:
Ah
,
but
(
cry'd
his
Comrades
)
thou
hast
a
Leg
of
god
;
as
if
continu'd
Fryar
Ihon
,
some
divine
Vertue
could
lye
hid
in
a
stenching
ulcerated
rotten
Shanck
.
Pray
,
said
Pantagruel
,
when
you
are
for
telling
us
some
such
nauseous
Tale
,
be
so
kind
as
not
to
forget
to
provide
a
Bason
,
Fryar
Ihon
;
I
'll
assure
you
,
I
had
much
ado
to
forbear
bringing
up
my
Breakfast
:
Fy
,
I
wonder
a
Man
of
your
Coat
is
not
asham'd
to
use
thus
the
Sacred
name
of
God
in
speaking
of
things
so
filthy
and
abominable
;
Fy
,
I
say
:
If
among
your
monking
Tribes
such
an
abuse
of
Words
is
allow'd
,
I
beseech
you
leave
it
there
,
and
do
not
let
it
come
out
of
the
Cloysters
.
Physicians
,
said
Epistemon
,
thus
attribute
a
kind
of
Divinity
to
some
Diseases
;
Nero
also
extoll'd
Mushrooms
,
and
in
a
Greek
Proverb
term'd
them
divine
Food
,
because
with
them
he
had
Poyson'd
Claudius
his
Predecessor
.
But
methinks
,
Gentlemen
,
this
same
Picture
is
not
over-like
our
late
Popes
.
For
I
have
seen
them
,
not
with
their
Pallium
,
Aumusse
or
Rocket
on
,
but
with
Helmets
on
their
Heads
,
more
like
the
Top
of
a
Persian
Turbant
;
and
while
the
Christian
Common-wealth
was
in
Peace
,
they
alone
were
most
furiously
and
cruelly
making
War
.
This
must
have
been
then
,
return'd
Homena●
,
against
the
Rebellious
,
Heretical
Protestants
;
Reprobates
,
who
are
disobedient
to
the
Holiness
of
this
good
God
on
Earth
.
'T
is
not
only
lawful
for
him
to
do
so
,
but
it
is
enjoyn'd
him
by
the
Sacred
Decretals
,
and
if
any
dare
transgress
one
single
Iota
against
their
Commands
,
whether
they
be
Emperors
,
Kings
,
Dukes
,
Princes
,
or
Commonwealths
,
he
is
immediately
to
pursue
them
with
Fire
and
Sword
,
strip
them
of
all
their
Goods
,
take
their
Kingdoms
from
them
,
proscribe
them
,
Anathem●tize
them
,
and
destroy
not
only
their
Bodies
,
those
of
their
Children
,
Relations
and
others
,
but
Damn
also
their
Souls
to
the
very
bottom
of
the
most
hot
and
burning
Caldron
in
Hell
.
Here
,
in
the
Devil's
name
,
said
Panurge
,
the
People
are
no
Hereticks
,
such
as
was
our
Raminagrobis
,
and
as
they
are
in
Germany
and
England
.
You
are
Christians
of
the
best
Edition
,
all
pick'd
and
cull'd
,
for
ought
I
see
.
Ay
,
marry
are
we
,
return'd
Homenas
,
and
for
that
reason
we
shall
all
be
sav'd
.
Now
let
us
go
and
bless
our selves
with
Holy-water
,
and
then
to
Dinner
.
CHAP.
LI.
Table-Talk
in
Praise
of
the
Decretals
.
NOw
Topers
,
pray
observe
that
while
Homenas
was
saying
his
dry
Mass
,
three
Collectors
,
or
Licens'd
Beggers
of
the
Church
,
each
of
them
with
a
large
Basin
went
round
among
the
People
,
saying
with
a
loud
Voice
;
Pray
remember
the
blessed
Men
who
have
seen
his
Face
.
As
we
came
out
of
the
Temple
they
brought
their
Basins
brim
full
of
Papimany
Chink
to
Homenas
,
who
told
us
that
it
was
plentifully
to
Feast
with
;
and
that
,
of
this
Contribution
and
voluntary
Tax
,
one
part
should
be
laid
out
in
good
Drinking
,
another
in
good
Eating
,
and
the
remainer
in
both
;
according
to
an
admirable
Exposition
hidden
in
a
Corner
of
their
Holy
Decretals
;
which
was
perform'd
to
a
T
,
and
that
at
a
noted
Tavern
not
much
unlike
that
of
Will
's
at
Amiens
.
Believe
me
we
tickled
it
off
there
with
copious
Cramming
,
and
numerous
Swilling
.
I
made
two
notable
Observations
at
that
Dinner
;
the
one
that
there
was
not
one
Dish
serv'd
up
whether
of
Cabrittas
,
Capons
,
Hogs
(
of
which
latter
there
's
great
Plenty
in
Papimany
)
Pigeons
,
Coneys
,
Leverets
,
Turkeys
or
others
,
without
abundance
of
Magistral
Stuff
;
the
other
,
that
every
Course
and
the
Fruit
also
were
serv'd
up
by
unmarried
Females
of
the
Place
,
tight
Lasses
,
I
'll
assure
you
,
Waggish
,
Fair
,
Good
condition'd
,
and
Comely
,
Spruce
,
and
fit
for
Business
.
They
were
clad
all
in
fine
long
white
Albes
with
two
Girts
,
their
Hair
interwoven
with
narrow
Tape
,
and
purple
Ribbond
,
stuck
with
Roses
,
Gilly-flowers
Marjoram
,
Daffidown-Dillies
,
Thyme
and
other
sweet
Flowers
.
At
every
Cadence
,
they
invited
us
to
drink
and
bang
it
about
,
dropping
us
neat
and
gentile
Court'sies
:
nor
was
the
sight
of
them
unwelcome
to
all
the
Company
;
and
as
for
Fryar
Ihon
,
he
leer'd
on
them
sideways
,
like
a
Cur
that
steals
a
Capon
.
When
the
first
course
was
taken
off
,
the
Females
melodiouly
Sung
us
an
Epode
in
Praise
of
the
Sacrosanct
Decretals
;
and
then
the
second
Course
being
serv'd
up
Homenas
joyful
and
cheery
,
said
to
one
of
the
she
Buttlers
,
Light
here
,
Claricia
.
Immediately
one
of
the
Girls
brought
him
a
Tall-boy
brim-full
of
Extravagant
Wine
.
He
took
fast
hold
of
it
and
fetching
a
deep
sigh
said
to
Pantagruel
:
My
Lord
,
and
you
my
good
Friends
,
Here
's
t'
ye
,
with
all
my
Heart
:
You
are
all
very
wellcome
.
When
he
had
tipp'd
that
off
,
and
given
the
Tall-boy
to
the
pretty
Creature
,
he
lifted
up
his
Voice
and
said
;
O
most
holy
Decretals
,
how
good
is
good
Wine
found
through
your
Means
.
This
is
the
best
Jest
we
have
had
yet
,
observ'd
Panurge
:
But
t
would
still
be
a
better
,
if
they
could
turn
bad
Wine
into
Good
.
O
Seraphic
Sextum
!
(
continu'd
Homenas
●
how
necessary
are
you
not
to
the
Salvation
of
poor
Mortals
.
O
Cherubic
Clementinae
!
How
perfectly
the
perfect
institution
of
a
true
Christian
is
contain'd
and
describ'd
in
you
!
O
Angelical
Extravagants
!
How
many
poor
Souls
that
wander
up
and
down
in
mortal
Bodies
,
throw
this
vale
of
Misery
,
would
perish
,
were
it
not
for
you
!
When
ha
!
When
shall
this
special
gift
of
grace
be
bestow'd
on
Man
kind
,
as
to
lay
aside
all
other
Studies
and
Concerns
,
to
use
you
,
to
peruse
you
,
to
understand
you
,
to
know
you
by
heart
,
to
practise
you
,
to
incorporate
you
,
to
turn
you
into
blood
,
and
incenter
you
into
the
deepest
Ventricles
of
their
Brains
the
inmost
Marrow
of
their
Bones
,
and
most
intricate
Labyrinth
of
their
Arteries
?
Then
,
ha
then
,
and
no
sooner
than
then
,
nor
otherwise
than
thus
shall
the
World
be
happy
!
While
the
old
Man
was
thus
running
on
,
Epistemon
arose
and
softly
said
to
Panurge
;
For
want
of
a
close
stool
,
I
must
e'en
leave
you
for
a
moment
or
two
;
this
Stuff
has
unbung'd
the
Orifice
of
my
Mustard-Barrel
,
but
I
'll
not
tarry
long
.
Then
,
ah
then
,
continu'd
Homenas
,
no
Hail

Frost
,
Ice
,
Snow

Then
plenty
of

Then
uninterrupted
and
eternal
Peace
throw
the
universe
,
an
End
of
all
Wars

plunderings
,

,
robbing

unless
it
be
to
destroy
these
cursed
Rebels

Heretics

Oh

Rejoycing
,
Cheerfulness
,
Jollity
,
Solace
,
Sports
and
delicious
Pleasures
,
over
the
Face

Oh!
What
great
Learning

inestimable
Erudition
,
and
Godlike
Precepts
,
are
knit
,
link'd
rivetted
and

Oh!

if

one
demy
Canon

Paragraph

or

Observation
of
these
Sacrosanct

how
wonderfully
,
I

,
do
you
not
perceive
to
kindle
in
your
Hearts

a

of

Brother
Timothy

quoth
Panurge
,
did
am

;
he
says
blew
;
But
for
my
part
I
believe
as
little
of
it
as
I
can
.
For
,
one
Day
by
chance
I
happen'd
to
read
a
Chapter
of
them
at
Poictiers
at
the
most
Decretalipotent
Scotch
Doctor
's
,
and
old
Nick
turn
me
into
Burnfodder
,
if
this
did
not
make
me
so
Hide-bound
and
costive
that
,
for
four
or
five
Days
I
hardly
scumber'd
one
poor
butt
of
Sir-reverence
,
and
that
too
was
full
as
dry
and
hard
,
I
protest
,
as
Catullus
tells
us
were
those
of
his
Neighbour
Furius
.
Nec

Non

Oh
,
ho
,
cry'd
Homenas
,
by
'r
Lady
,
it
may
be
you
were
then
in
the
State
of
Mortal
sin
,
my
Friend
.
Well
turn'd
,
cry'd
Panurge
,
this
was
of
a
new
strain
é
gad
.
One
day
,
said
Fryar
John
,
at
Sevillé
I
had
apply'd
to
my
posteriors
by
the
way
of
hind-Towel
a
leaf
of
an
old
Clementinae
,
which
our
Rent-gatherer
John
Guimard
had
thrown
out
into
the
green
of
our
Cloyster
:
now
the
Devil
broyl
me
like
a
Black-pudding
if
I
was
n't
so
abominably
plagu'd
with
chaps
,
chawns
and
piles
at
the
Fundament
,
that
the
Orifice
of
my
poor
Nockandroe
was
in
a
most
wofull
Pickle
for
I
don't
know
how
long
.
By
'
r
Lady
cry'd
Homenas
,
't
was
a
plain
Punishment
of
God
,
for
the
sin
that
you
had
committed
in
beraying
that
sacred
Book
,
which
you
ought
rather
to
have
kiss'd
and
ador'd
,
I
say
with
an
adoration
of
Latria
,
or
of
Hyperdulia
at
least
:
The
Panormitan
never
told
a
Lye
in
the
matter
.
Saith
Ponocrates
,
at
Montpelier
,
John
Ch●iiart
having
bought
of
the
Monks
of
St.
Olary
a
delicate
set
of
Decretals
written
on
fine
large
Parchment
of
Lamballe
,
to
beat
Gold
between
the
leaves
,
not
so
much
as
a
piece
that
was
beaten
in
them
came
to
good
,
but
all
were
dilacerated
and
spoil'd
.
Mark
this
,
cry'd
Homenas
,
't
was
a
Divine
punishment
and
vengeance
.
At
Mans
,
said
Eudemon
,
Francis
Cornu
,
Apothecary
,
had
turn'd
an
old
set
of
Extravagantes
into
waste
Paper
;
may
I
never
stir
,
if
whatever
was
lapt
up
in
them
was
not
immediately
corrupted
,
rotten
and
spoyl'd
;
incense
,
Pepper
,
Cloves
,
Cinnamon
,
Saffro●
,
Wax
,
Cassia
,
Rhubarb
,
Tamarinds
,
all
,
Drugs
and
Spices
,
were
lost
without
exception
.
Mark
,
mark
,
quoth
Hamenas
,
an
effect
of
Divine
Justice
!
This
comes
of
putting
the
Sacred
Scriptures
to
such
prophane
uses
.
At
Paris
,
said
Carpalim
,
Snip
Groignet
the
Taylor
had
turn'd
an
old
Clementime
into
P●●terns
and
Measures
,
and
all
the
Clothes
that
were
cut
on
them
were
utterly
spoil'd
and
lost●
Gowns
,
Hoods
,
Cloaks
,
Cassocks
,
Jerkins
,
J●ckets
,
Wastcoats
,
Capes
,
Doublets
,
Petticoats
,
Corps
de
Robes
,
Vardingals
,
and
so
forth
.
Snip
thinking
to
cut
a
Hood
would
cut
you
out
a
Codpiece
;
instead
of
a
Cass●ck
he
'd
make
you
a
high
Crown'd
Hat
;
for
a
Wastcoat
he
'd
shape
you
out
a
Rochet
;
on
the
Pattern
of
a
Doublet
he
'd
make
you
a
thing
like
a
Frying-pan
;
then
his
Journey-men
,
having
stitch'd
it
up
,
did
jagg
it
and
pink
it
at
the
bottom
,
and
so
it
look'd
like
a
pan
to
fry
Chesnuts
;
instead
of
a
Cape
he
made
a
Buskin
;
for
a
Vardingale
he
shap'd
a
Montero-Cap
;
and
thinking
to
make
a
Cloak
he
'd
cut
out
a
pair
of
your
big
outstroutting
Switzers
Breeches
with
panes
like
the
outside
of
a
Tabor
.
In
so
much
that
Snip
was
condemn'd
to
make
good
the
Stuffs
to
all
his
Customers
;
and
to
this
day
poor
Cabbidge's
hair
grows
through
his
Hood
,
and
his
Arse
through
his
Pocket-holes
.

At
Cahusac
,
said
Gymnast
,
a
march
being
made
by
the
Lords
of
Estissac
and
Vicount
Lausun
to
shoot
at
a
Mark
,
P●●●tou
had
taken
to
pieces
a
set
of
Decretals
,
and
set
one
of
the
Leaves
for
the
White
to
shoot
at
;
now
I
sell
,
nay
I
give
and
bequeath
for
ever
and
aye
the
Mould
of
my
Doublet
to
fifteen
hundred
Hampers
full
of
black
Devils
,
if
ever
any
Archer
in
the
Country
tho
they
are
singular
Marksmen
in
Gusenne●
could
hit
the
White
.
Not
the
least
bit
of
the
Holy
Scrible
was
contaminated
or
touch'd
;
nay
,
and
Sa●●●●●n
the
Elder
who
held

manifestly
seen
the
B●lt
of
Carquelin
moving
right
to
the
round
Circle
in
the
middle
of
the
White
,
and
that
just
on
the
point
when
it
was
going
to
hit
and
enter
,
it
had
gon
aside
above
seven
foot
and
four
inches
wide
of
it
towards
the
Bake-house
.
Miracle
!
(
cry'd
Homenas
)
Miracle
,
Miracle
!
Clerica
,
come
Wench
,
light
,
light
here
,
Here
's
to
you
all
Gentlemen
;
I
vow
you
seem
to
me
very
sound
Christians
.
While
he
said
this
,
the
Maidens
began
to
snicker
at
his
Elbow
,
grinning
,
giggling
and
twittering
among
themselves
.
Fryar
Jhon
began
to
paw
,
neigh
and
whinny
at
the
Snout's
end
,
as
one
ready
to
leap
,
or
at
least
to
play
the
Ass
,
and
get
up
and
ride
tantivy
to
the
Devil
like
a
Beggar
on
Horseback
.
Methinks
,
said
Pantagruel
,
a
Man
might
have
been
more
out
of
danger
near
the
White
of
which
Gymnast
spoke
,
than
was
formerly
Diogenes
near
another
.
How
's
that
?
ask'd
Homenas
,
what
was
it
?
Was
he
one
of
our
Decretalists
?
Rarely
fallen
in
again
e'gad
,
said
Epistemon
returning
from
Stool
,
I
see
he
will
hook
his
Decretals
in
,
tho'
by
the
Head
and
Shoulders
.
Diogenes
,
said
Pantagruel
,
one
day
for
Pastime
,
went
to
see
some
Archers
that
shot
at
Butts
,
one
of
whom
was
so
unskilful
,
that
,
when
it
was
his
turn
to
shoot
,
all
the
by-standers
went
aside
,
lest
he
should
mistake
them
for
the
Mark
.
Diogenes
had
seen
him
shoot
extremly
wide
off
it
,
so
when
the
other
was
taking
aim
a
second
time
,
and
the
People
remov'd
at
a
great
distance
to
the
right
and
left
of
the
White
,
he
placed
himself
close
by
the
Mark
,
holding
that
place
to
be
the
safest
,
and
that
so
bad
an
Archer
would
certainly
rather
hit
any
other
.
One
of
the
Lord
d'Estissac's
Pages
at
last
found
out
the
Charm
,
pursued
Gymnast
,
and
by
his
advice
Perotou
put
in
another
White
made
up
of
some
Papers
of
Pouillac's
Law
Suit
,
and
then
every
one
shot
cleverly
.
At
Landerousse
,
said
Rhizotome
,
at
John
Delif's
Wedding
were
very
great
doings
,
as
't
was
then
the
Custom
of
the
Country
.
After
Supper
,
several
Farces
,
Interludes
,
and
Comical
Scenes
were
acted
:
they
had
also
several
Morrice-dances
with
Bells
and
Tabors
;
and
divers
sorts
of
Masques
,
and
Mummers
were
let
in
.
My
School-fellows
and
I
,
to
grace
the
Festival
to
the
best
of
our
Power
(
for
,
fine
white
and
purple
Liveries
had
been
given
to
all
of
us
in
the
Morning
)
contriv'd
a
merry
Mask
with
store
of
Cockle-shells
,
shells
of
Snails
,
Periwinkles
and
such
other
.
Then
for
want
of
Cuckoe-pint
or
Priest-pintle
,
Lousebur
,
Clote
,
and
Paper
,
we
made
our selves
false
Faces
with
the
Leaves
of
an
old
Sextum
,
that
had
been
thrown
by
and
lay
there
for
any
one
that
would
take
it
up
,
cutting
out
holes
for
the
Eyes
,
Nose
and
Mouth
.
Now
did
you
ever
hear
the
like
since
you
were
born
,
when
we
had
play'd
our
little
Boyish
Antick
Tricks
,
and
came
to
take
off
our
sham-faces
,
we
appear'd
more
hideous
and
ugly
than
the
little
Devils
that
acted
the
Passion
at
Douay
:
For
our
Faces
were
utterly
spoyl'd
at
the
places
which
had
been
touch'd
by
those
●eaves
;
one
had
there
the
Small
Pox
,
another
God's
Token
,
or
the
Plague
spot
,
a
third
the
Crinckums
,
a
fourth
the
Measles
,
a
fifth
Botches
Pushes
and
Carbuncles
;
in
short
,
he
came
off
the
least
hurt
who
only
lost
his
Teeth
by
the
b●rgain
.
Miracle

Hold
,
hold

cry'd
Rhizotome
,
't
is
n't
yet
time
to
clap
;
my
Sister
Kate
,
and
my
Sister
R●n
had
put
the
Crepines
of
their
Hoods
,
their
Ruffles
,
Snoffekins
,
and
Neck-Ruffs
row
wash'd
starch'd
and
iron'd
,
into
that
very
Book
of
Decretals
;
for
,
you
must
know
,
it
was
cover'd
with
thick
Boards
and
had
strong
Clasps
;
now
,
by
the
virtue
of
God
—
Hold
,
interrupted
Homenas
,
what
God
do
you
mean
?
There
is
but
one
,
answer'd
Rhizotome
.
In
Heaven
,
I
grant
,
reply'd
Homenas
,
but
we
have
another
here
on
Earth
,
d'
ye
see
.
Ay
marry
,
have
we
,
said
Rhizotome
,
but
on
my
Soul
I
protest
I
had
quite
forgot
it
—
well
then
,
by
the
virtue
of
God
the
Pope
,
their
Pinners
,
Neck-ruffs
,
Bibs
,
Coifs
,
and
other
Linnen
turn'd
as
black
as
a
Char-coalman's
Sack
.
Miracle

Homenas
!
Here

light
me
here

these
rare
Stories

How

then
,
ask'd
Fryar
Jhon
,
that
People
say
,
Ever
since
Decrees
had
Tails
,
And
Gens-d'Arms
lugg'd
heavy
Mails
,
Since
each
Monk
would
have
a
Horse

All
went

I

you

How
,
by
the
Virtue
of
the
Decretals
,
Gold
is
subtilly
drawn
out
of
France
to
Rome
.
I
would
,
said
Epistemon
,
it
had
cost
me
a
a
pint
of
the
best
Tripe
that
ever
can
enter
into
Gut
,
so
we
had
but
compar'd
with
the
Original
,
the
dreadful
Chapters
,
Execrabilis
.
De

.
Si
plures
.
De
Annatis

.
Nisi

Mandatum
;
and
certain
others
that
draw
every
year
out
of
France
to
Rome
,
four
hundred
thousand
Ducats
and
more
.
Do
you
make
nothing
of
this
,
ask'd
Homenas
?
Tho'
methinks
,
after
all
,
't
is
but
little
if
we
consider
that
France
the
most
Christian
,
is
the
only
Nurse
,
the
See
of
Rome
has
.
However
find
me
in
the
whole
World
a
Book
whether
of
Philosophy
,
Physic
,
Law
,
Mathematicks
,
or
other
humane
Learning
,
nay
,
even
,
by
my
God
,
of
the
Holy
Scripture
it self
,
that
will
draw
as
much
Money
thence
?
None
,
none
,
pshaw
,
tush
,
blurt
,
pish
,
none
can
:
You
may
look
till
your
Eyes
drop
out
of
your
Head
;
nay
,
till
Dooms-day
in
the
afternoon
,
before
you
can
find
another
of
that
Energy
;
I
'll
pass
my
word
for
that
.
Yet

As
for
you
other
good
People
,
I
most
earnestly
pray
and
beseech
you
to
believe
no
other
thing
,
think
on
,
say
,
undertake
,
or
do
no
other
thing
than
what
's
contain'd
in

Sacred
Decretals
,
and
their
Corollaries
,
this
fine
Sextum
,
these
fine
Clementinae
,
these
fine
Extravagantes
.
O
Deific
Books
!
So
shall
you
enjoy
Glory
,
Honour
,
Exaltation
,
Wealth
,
Dignities
,
and
Preferments
in
this
World
;
be
rever'd
,
and
dreaded
by
all
,
preferr'd
,
Elected
,
and
Chosen
above
all
Men.
For
,
there
is
not
under
the
Cope
of
Heaven
,
a
condition
of
Men
out
of
which
you
'll
find
Persons
fitter
to
do
and
handle
all
things
,
than
those
who
by
Divine
Prescience
,
Eternal
Predestination
,
have
applied
themselves
to
the
Study
of
the
Holy
Decretals
.
Would
you
chuse
a
worthy
Emperor
,
a
good
Captain
a
fit
General
in
time
of
War
,
one
that
can
well
foresee
all
inconveniencies
,
avoid
all
dangers
,
briskly
and
bravely
bring
his
Men
on
to
a
Breach
or
Attack
,
still
be
on
sure
grounds
,
always
overcome
without
loss
of
his
Men
,
and
know
how
to
make
a
good
use
of
his
Victory
?
Take
me
a
Decre●ist
.
—
No
,
no
,
I
mean
a
Decretalist
.
Ho
,
the
foul
Blunder
,
whisper'd
Epistemon
.
Would
you
in
time
of
Peace
,
find
a
Man
capable
of
wisely
governing
the
State
of
a
Commonwealh
,
of
a
Kingdom
,
of
a
Empire
,
of
a

,
sufficient
to

the

and
Common●
in
Wealth
,
Friendship
,
Unity
,
Obedience
,
Virtue
and
Honesty
?
Take
a
Decretalist
.
Would
you
find
a
Man
who
,
by
his
exemplary
Life
,
Eloquence
,
and
pious
Admonitions
▪
may
in
a
short
time
without
effusion
of
humane
blood
Conquer
the
Holy
Land
,
and
bring
over
to
the
Holy
Church
the
misbelieving
Turks
,
Jews
,
Tartars
,
Muscovites
,
Mammelus
,
and
Sarrabonites
?
Take
me
a
Decretalist
.
What
makes
in
many
Countries
,
the
People
Rebellious
and
deprav'd
,
Pages
sawcy

mischievous
,
Students
sottish
and
duncical
?
Nothing
but
that
their
Governours
,
Esquires
,
and
Tutors
were
not
Decretalists
.
But
what
,
on
your

Conscience
,
was
it
d'
ye
think
that
establish'd

confirm'd

these

with
whom
you
see
the
Christian
World
every
where
adorn'd
,
grac'd
and
illustrated
as
the
Firmament
is
with
its
glorious
Stars
?
The
Holy
Decretals
.
What
was
it
that
founded
,
underpropt
,
and
fix'd
,
and
now
maintains
,
nourishes
and
feeds
the
devout
Monks
and
Fryars
in
Convents
,
Monasteri●s
and
Abbeys
,
so
that
did
they
not
daily
and
mightily
pray
without
ceasing
▪
the
World
would
be
in
evident
danger
of
returning
to
its
Primitive

Patrimony
of
St.

in

?
The

What
made
the
Holy
Apostolick
See
and
Pope
of
Rome
in
all
times
,
and
at
this
present
so
dreadful
in
the
Universe
,
that
all
Kings

willing

must
depend

and
fall
down
before
his
Holy
Slipper
,
whose
Picture
you
have
seen
?
The
mighty
Decretals
of
God
.
I
will
discover
you
a
great
secret
;
The
Universities
of
your
World
have
commonly
a
Book
either
open
or
shut
in
their
Arms
and
Devises
;
what
Book
do
you
think
it
is
?
Truly
,
I
do
not
know
,
answer'd
Pantagruel
,
I
never
read
it
.
It
is
the
Decretals
,
said
Homenas
,
without
which
the
Priviledges
of
all
Universities
would
soon
be
lost
.
You
must
own
I
have
taught
you
this

Here
Homenas

to
b●l●h

to
farr
,
to
sunk
,
to
laugh
,
to
slaver
,
and
to

and
then
he
gave
his
huge
greasy
four-corner'd
Cap
to
one
of
the
Lasses
,
who
clapt
it
〈◊〉
her
pretty

with
a

Now
for

Virgins
.
I
was
saying
then
,
that
giving
your selves
thus
wholly
to
the
Study
of
the
Holy
Decretals
,
you
'll
gain
Wealth
and
Honour
in
this
World
;
I
add
,
that
in
the
next
you
'll
infallibly
be
saved
in
the
blessed
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
whose
Keys
are
given
to
Our
good
God
and
Decretaliarch
.
O
My
good
God
,
whom
I
adore
and
never
saw
,
by
thy
special
Grace
open
unto
us
,
at
the
Point
of
Death
at
least
,
this
most
Sacred
Treasure
of
our
Holy
Mother
Church
,
whose
Protector
,
Preserver
,
Buttler
,
Chief
Larder
,
Administrator
,
and
Disposer
thou
art
;
and
take
care
,
I
beseech
thee
,
O
Lord
,
that
the
precious
works
of
Supererogation
,
the
goodly
Pardons
do
not
fail
us
in
time
of
need
;
so
that
the
Devils
may
not
find
an
opportunity
to
gripe
our
precious
Souls
,
and
the
dreadful
Jaws
of
Hell
may
not
swallow
us
.
If
we
must
pass
thro'
Purgatory
,
Thy
will
be
done
.
It
is
in
thy
Power
to
draw
us
out
of
it
when
thou
pleasest
.
Here
Homenas
began
to
shed
huge
hot
bri●y
Tears
,
to
beat
his
Brest
,
and
kiss
his
Thumbs
in
the
shape
of
a
Cross

How
Homenas
give
Pantagruel
some
Bon-Christian
Pears
.
EPistemon
,
Fryar
Ihon
,
and
Panurge
seeing
this
doleful
Catastrophe
began
under
the
cover
of
their
Napkins
to
cry
,
Meeow
,
Meeow
,
Meeow
,
feigning
to
wipe
their
Eyes
all
the
while
as
if
they
had
wept
.
The
Wenches
were
doubly
diligent
and
brought
Brimmers
of
Clementine
Wine
to
every
one
,
besides
store
of
Sweet-meats
,
and
thus
the
Feasting
was
reviv'd
.
Before
we
arose
from
Table
,
Homenas
gave
us
a
great
quantity
of
fair
large
Pears
;
saying
,
Here
,
my
good
Friends
,
these
are
singular
good
Pears
,
you
'll
find
none
such
any
where
else
I
dare
warrant
.
Every
Soyl
hears
not
every
thing
you
know
;
India
alone
boasts
black
Ebony
,
the
best
Incense
is
produc'd
in
Sabaea
,
the
Sphragitid
Earth
at
Lemnos
;
So
this
Island
is
the
only
Place
where
such
fine
Pears
grow
.
You
may
,
if
you
please
,
make
Seminaries
with
their
Pippins
,
in
your
Country
.
I
like
their
Taste
extremely
,
said
Pantagruel
;
if
they
were
slic'd
and
put
into
a
Pan
on
the
Fire
with
Wine
and
Sugar
,
I
fancy
they
would
be
very
wholesome
Meat
for
the
Sick
as
well
as
for
the
Healthy
;
Pray
what
do
you
call
'em
?
No
,
otherwise
than
you
've
heard
,
reply'd
Homenas
;
we
are
a
plain
down-right
sort
of
People
,
as
God
would
have
it
,
and
call
Figs
,
Figs
;
Plumbs
,
Plumbs
;
and
Pears
,
Pears
.
Truly
,
said
Pantagruel
,
If
I
live
to
go
home
,
(
which
I
hope
will
be
speedily
,
God
willing
)
I
'll
set
and
gras●
some
in
my
Garden
in
Touraine
by
the
Banks
of
the
Loire
,
and
will
them
call
Bon-Christian
or
Good-Christian
Pears
;
for
I
never
saw
better
Christians
than
are
these
good
Papimans
.
I
'd
like
him
two
to
one
better
yet
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
,
would
he
but
give
us
two
or
three
Cart-loads
of
yon
buxsome
Lasses
.
Why
,
what
would
you
do
with
them
,
cry'd
Homenas
?
Quoth
Fryar
Ihon
,
no
harm
,
Only
bleed
the
Kind-hearted
Souls
straight
between
the
two
great
Toes
with
certain
clever
Lancets
of
the
right
stamp
;
By
which
Operation
Good-Christian
Children
would
be
inoculated
upon
them
,
and
the
Breed
be
multiply'd
in
our
Country
,
in
which
there
are
not
many
over
good
,
the
more
's
the
Pity
.
Nay
,
verily
reply'd
Homenas
,
We
cannot
do
this
,
for
you
would
make
them
tread
their
Shoes
awry
,
crack
their
Pipkins
,
and
spoil
their
Shapes
;
you
love
Mutton
I
see
,
you
'll
run
at
Sheep
,
I
know
you
by
that
same
Nose
,
and
Hair
of
yours
,
tho'
I
never
saw
your
Face
before
.
Alas
,
alas
,
how
kind
you
are
!
And
would
you
indeed
Damn
your
precious
Soul
?
Our
Decretals
forbid
this
;
Ah
,
I
wish
you
had
them
at
your
Fingers-end
.
Patience
,
said
Fryar
Ihon
:
But
,
Si
tu
non
vis
dare
,
praesta
quaesumas
;
matter
of
Breviary
;
as
for
that
I
defie
a●l
the
world
,
and
I
fear
no
Man
that
wears
a
Head
and
a
Hood
,
tho'
be
were
a
Ch●●stallin
,
I
mean
a
Decretalin
Doctor
.
Dinner
being
over
,
we
took
our
leave
of
the
Right
Reverend
Homenas
,
and
of
all
the
good
People
,
humbly
giving
thanks
,
and
,
to
make
them
amends
for
their
kind
Entertainment
,
Promised
them
that
at
our
coming
to
Rome
we
would
make
our
Applications
so
effectualy
to
the
Pope
,
that
he
would
speedily
be
sure
to
come
to
Visit
them
in
Person
.
After
this
we
went
o'
Board
.
Pantagruel
by
an
Act
of
Generosity
,
and
as
an
Acknowledgment
for
the
sight
of
the
Pope's
Picture
,
gave
Homenas
Nine
pieces
of
double
friz'd
Cloth
of
Gold
,
to
be
set
before
the
Grates
of
the
Window
.
He
also
caus'd
the
Church
Box
for
it's
Repairs
and
Fabrick
to
be
quite
fill'd
with
double-Crowns
of
Gold
,
&
order'd
Nine
hundred
&
Fourteen
Angels
to
be
deliver'd
to
each
of
the
Lasses
,
who
had
waited
at
Table
,
to
buy
them
Husbands
when
they
could
get
them
.
CHAP.

How
,
Pantagruel
being
at
Sea
heard
various
unfrozen
words
.
WHen
we
were
at
Sea
Junketting
,
Tipling
Discoursing
,
and
telling
Stories
,
Pantagruel
rose
and
stood
up
to
l●ok
out
;
then
ask'd
us
,
Do
you
〈◊〉
nothing
,
Gentlemen
?
Methinks
I
hear
〈◊〉
People
●a●king
in
the
Air
;
yet
I
can
〈…〉
According
to
〈…〉
full
Ears
suck'd
in
the
Air
,
as
some
of
you
suck
Oysters
,
to
find
if
we
could
hear
some
sound
scatter'd
thro'
the
Sky
;
and
to
lose
none
of
it
,
like
the
Emperor
Antoninus
,
some
of
us
laid
their
hands
hollow
next
to
their
Ears
:
But
all
this
would
not
do
,
nor
could
we
hear
any
Voice
.
Yet
Pantagruel
continued
to
assure
us
he
heard
various
Voices
in
the
Air
,
some
of
Men
,
and
some
of
Women
.
At
last
we
began
to
Fancy
that
we
also
heard
something
,
or
at
least
that
our
Ears
tingled
,
and
the
more
we
listen'd
,
the
plainer
we
discern'd
the
Voices
,
so
as
to
distinguish
Articulate
Sounds
.
This
mightily
frighted
us
,
and
not
without
cause
,
since
we
could
see
nothing
,
yet
heard
such
various
Sounds
and
Voices
of
Men
,
Women
,
Children
,
Horses
,
&c.
insomuch
that
Panurge
cry'd
out
,
Cods
Belly
,
there
's
no
fooling
with
the
Devil
,
we
are
all
beshit
,
let
's
fly
.
There
is
some
Ambuscado
here
abouts
.
Fryar
Ihon
art
thou
here
,
my
Love
?
I
pr'y
thee
,
stay
by
me
old
Boy
,
hast
thou
got
thy
swindging
Tool
?
See
that
it
do
not
stick
in
the
Scabbard
,
thou
never
scour'st
it
half
as
it
should
be
.
We
are
undone
.
Hark!
They
are
Guns
,
Gad
judge
me
;
Let
's
fly
,
I
do
not
say
with
hands
and
feet
,
as
Brutus
said
at
the
Battel
of
Pharsalia
,
I
say
with
Sails
and
Oars
;
Let
's
whip
it
away
,
I
never
find
my self
to
have
a
bit
of
Courage
at
Sea
;
In
Cellars
and
elsewhere
I
have
more
than
enough
.
Let
's
fly
,
and
save
our
Bacon
.
I
do
not
say
this
for
any
fear
that
I
have
;
for
I
dread
nothing
but
Danger
;
that
I
don
't
:
I
always
say
it
that
should
n't
.
The
Free-Archer
of
Baignolet
said
as
much
.
Let
's
hazar'd
nothing
therefore
,
I
say
,
lest
we
come
off
blowly
.
Tack
about
,
Helm
a
Lee
,
thou
Son
of
a
Batchelor
.
Would
I
were
now
well
in
Quinquenois
,
tho'
I
were
never
to
Marry
.
Hast
away
,
let
's
make
all
the
Sail
we
can
,
they
'l
be
too
hard
for
us
,
we
are
not
able
to
cope
with
them
,
they
are
ten
to
our
one
,
I
'll
warrant
you
;
Nay
,
and
they
are
on
their
Dunghil
,
while
we
do
not
know
the
Country
.
They
'l
be
the
Death
of
of
us
.
We
'll
lose
no
Honour
by
flying
;
Demosthenes
saith
,
That
the
Man
that
runs
away
may
fight
another
time
.
At
least
,
let
us
retreat
to
the
Lee-ward
.
Helm
a
Lee
;
bring
the
main
Tack
aboard
,
Hawl
the
Bowlins
,
Hoist
the
Top-Gallants
,
we
are
all
dead
Men
;
get
off
in
the
Devils
name
,
get
off
.
Pantagruel
hearing
the
sad
Outcry
which
Panurge
made
,
said
,
who
Talks
of
flying
?
Let
's
first
see
who
they
are
,
perhaps
they
may
be
Friends
;
I
can
discover
no
Body
yet
,
tho'
I
can
see
a
hundred
Miles
round
me
:
But
let
's
consider
a
little
,
I
have
read
that
a
Philosopher
nam'd
Perron
was
of
Opinion
,
that
there
were
several
Worlds
that
touch'd
each
other
in
an
Equilateral
Triangle
;
in
whose
Centre
,
he
said
,
was
the
dwelling
of
Truth
,
and
that
the
words
,
Ideas
,
Copies
and
Images
of
all
things
past
,
and
to
come
resided
there
;
round
which
was
the
Age
,
and
that
with
Success
of
Time
part
of
them
us'd
to
fall
on
mankind
like
Rhumes
and
Mildews
,
just
as
the
Dew
fell
on
Gideon's
Fleece
,
till
the
Age
was
fulfilled
.
I
also
remember
,
continued
he
,
that
Aristotle
affirms
Homer's
words
to
be
flying
,
moving
,
and
consequently
animated
.
Besides
,
Antiphanes
said
,
that
Plato's
Philosophy
was
like
words
which
being
spoken
in
some
Country
during
a
hard
Winter
are
immediately
congeal'd
,
frozen
up
and
not
heard
;
for
,
what
Plato
taught
young
Lads
could
hardly
be
understood
by
them
,
when
they
were
grown
Old
.
Now
,
continued
he
,
we
should
Philosophise
and
Search
whether
this
be
not
the
place
where
those
words
are
thaw'd
.
You
'd
wonder
very
much
,
should
this
be
the
Head
and
Lyre
of
Orpheus
.
When
the
Thracian
Women
had
torn
him
to
Pieces
,
they
threw
his
Head
and
Lyre
into
the
River
Hebrus
;
down
which
they
floated
to
the
Euxine
Sea
,
as
far
as
the
Island
of
Lesbos
,
the
Head
continually
uttering
a
doleful
Song
,
as
it
were
,
lamenting
the
Death
of
Orpheus
,
and
the
Lyre
with
the
Wind
's
impulse
moving
its
strings
,
and
Harmoniously
Accompanying
the
Voice
.
Let
's
see
if
we
cannot
discover
them
hereabouts
.

How
among
the
Frozen
Words
Pantagruel
found
some
odd
ones
.
THe
Skipper
made
answer
;
Be
not
afraid
,
my
Lord
,
we
are
on
the
Confines
of
the
Frozen
Sea
,
on
which
about
the
beginning
of
last
Winter
happen'd
a
great
and
bloody
Fight
between
the
Arimaspians
and
the
Nephelibates
.
Then
the
words
and
crys
of
Men
and
Women
,
the
hacking
,
slashing
,
and
hewing
of
Battle-axes
,
the
shocking
,
knocking
,
and
joulting
of
Armours
,
and
Harnesses
,
the
neighing
of
Horses
,
and
all
other
Martial
din
and
noise
,
froze
in
the
Air
;
and
now
the
rigour
of
the
Winter
being
over
by
the
succeeding
serenity
and
warmth
of
the
Weather
,
they
melt
and
are
heard
.
By
jingo
,
quoth
Panurge
,
the
Man
talks
somewhat
like
,
I
believe
him
;
but
could
n't
we
see
some
of
'em
?
Methinks
I
have
read
that
on
the
edge
of
the
Mountain
on
which
Moses
receiv'd
the
the
Judaic
Law
,
the
People
saw
the
Voices
sensibly
.
—
Here
,
here
,
said
Pantagruel
,
here
are
some
that
are
not
yet
thaw'd
.
He
then
throw'd
us
on
the
Deck
whole
handfulls
of
frozen
Words
,
which
seem'd
to
us
like
your
rough
Sugar-Plumbs
,
of
many
colours
,
like
those
us'd
in
Heraldry
,
some
words
Gules
,
[
This
means
also
Jests
and
merry
sayings
]
some
Vert
,
some
Azur
,
some
Black
,
some
Or
,
[
This
means
also
fair
words
;
]
and
when
we
had
somewhat
warm'd
them
between
our
Hands
,
they
melted
like
Snow
,
and
we
really
heard
them
,
but
could
not
understand
them
,
for
it
was
a
Barbarous
Gibberish
;
one
of
them
only
that
was
pretty
big
,
having
been
warm'd
between
Fryar
Jhon's
Hands
,
gave
a
sound
much
like
that
of
Chesnuts
when
they
are
thrown
into
the
fire
without
being
first
cut
,
which
made
us
all
start
.
This
was
the
report
of
a
Field-piece
in
its
time
,
cry'd
Fryar
Jhon
.
Panurge
pray'd
Pantagruel
to
give
him
some
more
;
but
Pantagruel
told
him
,
that
to
give
words
was
the
part
of
a
Lover
.
Sell
me
some
then
,
I
pray
you
,
cry'd
Panurge
.
That
's
the
part
of
a
Lawyer
,
return'd
Pantagruel
.
I
would
sooner
sell
you
silence
,
tho'
at
a
dearer
Rate
,
as
Demosthenes
formerly
sold
it
by
the
means
of
his
Argentangina
or
Silver
Squinsey
.
However
he
threw
three
or
four
Handfulls
of
them
on
the
Deck
,
among
which
I
deceiv'd
some
very
sharp
words
,
and
some
bloody
words
,
which
the
Pilot
said
,
us'd
sometimes
to
go
back
and
recoil
to
the
place
whence
they
came
,
but
't
was
with
a
slit
wee-sand
;
we
also
saw
some
terrible
words
,
and
some
others
not
very
pleasant
to
the
Eye
.
When
they
had
been
all
melted
together
,
we
heard
a
strange
noise
,
hin
,

and
I
do
not
know
what
other
barbarous
words
,
which
the
Pilot
said
,
were
the
noise
made
by
the
Charging
Squadrons
,
the
shock
and
neighing
of
Horses
.
Then
we
heard
some
large
ones
go
off
like
Drums
and
Fifes
,
and
others
like
Clarions
and
Trumpets
.
Believe
me
,
we
had
very
good
sport
with
them
.
I
would
fain
have
sav'd
some
merry
odd
words
,
and
have
preserv'd
them
in
Oyl
,
as
Ice
and
Snow
are
kept
,
and
between
clean
Straw
.
But
Pantagruel
would
not
let
me
,
saying
,
that
't
is
a
folly
to
hoard
up
what
we
are
never
like
to
want
,
or
have
always
at
hand
,
odd
quaint
,
merry
and
fat
words
of
Gules
never
being
scarce
among
all
good
and
jovial
Pantagruelists
.
Panurge
somewhat
vex'd
Fryar
Jhon
,
and
put
him
in
the
pouts
;
for
he
took
him
at
his
word
,
while
he
dreamt
of
nothing
less
.
This
caus'd
the
Fryar
to
threaten
him
with
such
a
piece
of
Revenge
as
was
put
upon
G.
Jousseaume
,
who
having
taken
the
merry
Patelin
at
his
word
,
when
he
had
overbid
himself
in
some
Cloth
,
was
afterwards
fairly
taken
by
the
Horns
like
a
Bullock
,
by
his
jovial
Chapman
,
whom
he
took
at
his
word
like
a
Man
.
Panurge
well
knowing
that
threat'ned
folks
live
long
,
bobb'd
,
and
made
mouths
at
him
,
in
token
of
Derision
,
then
cry'd
,
would
I
had
here
the
Word
of
the
Holy
Bottle
,
without
being
thus
oblig'd
to
go
further
in
Pilgrimage
to
her
.

How
Pantagruel
went
ashoar
at
the
Dwelling
of
Gaster
the
first
Master
of
Arts
in
World
.
THat
day
Pantagruel
went
ashoar
in
an
Island
which
for
Situation
and
Governor
may
be
said
not
to
have
its
fellow
.
When
you
just
come
into
it
,
you
find
it
rugged
,
craggy
,
barren
,
unpleasant
to
the
Eye
,
painful
to
the
Feet
,
and
almost
as
inaccessible
as
the
Mountain
of
Dauphiné
,
which
is
somewhat
like
a
Toad-stool
,
and
was
never
climb'd
,
as
any
can
remember
,
by
any
but
Doyac
,
who
had
the
charge
of
King
Charles
the
Eighth's
Train
of
Artillary
,
This
same
Doyac
with
strange
Tools
and
Engines
,
gain'd
that
Mountain's
top
,
and
there
he
found
an
old
Ram.
It
puzzl'd
many
a
wise
Head
to
guess
how
it
got
thither
.
Some
said
that
some
Eagle
,
or
great
Horn-Coot
having
carry'd
it
thither
,
while
't
was
yet
a
Lambkin
,
it
had
got
away
and
sav'd
it self
among
the
Bushes
.
As
for
us
,
having
with
much
toyl
and
sweat
overcome
the
difficult
ways
at
the
entrance
,
we
found
the
top
of
the
Mountain
so
fertile
,
healthful
,
and
pleasant
,
that
I
thought
I
was
then
in
the
true
Garden
of
Eden
or
Earthly
Paradice
,
about
whose
Situation
our
good
Theologues
are
in
such
a
quandary
,
and
keep
such
a
pother
.
As
for
Pantagruel
,
he
said
,
That
here
was
the
Seat
of
Arete
(
that
's
as
much
as
to
say
,
Virtue
)
describ'd
by
Hesiod
;
this
however
,
with
submission
to
better
Judgments
.
The
Ruler
of
the
place
was
one
Master
Gaster
the
first
Master
of
Arts
in
this
World
;
for
if
you
believe
that
Fire
is
the
great
Master
of
Arts
,
as
Tully
writes
,
you
very
much
wrong
him
and
your self
;
alas
,
Tully
never
believ'd
this
.
On
the
other
side
,
if
you
fancy
Mercury
to
be
the
first
Inventer
of
Arts
,
as
our
ancient
D●uids
believ'd
of
old
,
you
are
mightily
beside
the
Mark.
The
Satirist's
Sentence
,
that
affirms
Master
Gaster
to
be
Master
of
all
Arts
is
true
.
With
him
peacefully
resided
old
Goody
Penia
alias
Poverty
,
the
Mother
of
the
Ninty
Nine
Muses
,
on
whom
Porus
the
Lord
of
Plenty
formerly
begot
Love
that
Noble
Child
,
the
Mediator
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
as
Plato
affirms
in
Symposio
.
We
were
all
oblig'd
to
pay
our
homage
and
swear
Allegiance
to
that
migh●y
Sovereign
;
for
he
is
Imperious
,
Severe
,
Blunt
,
Hard
,
Uneasie
,
Inflexible
;
you
cannot
make
him
believe
,
represent
to
him
,
or
persuade
him
any
thing
.
He
do's
not
hear
;
and
as
the
Egyptians
said
,
That
Harpocrates
the
God
of
Silence
nam'd
Sigalion
in
Greek
was
Astomé
,
that
is
,
without
a
Mouth
;
so
Gaster
was
created
without
Ears
,
even
like
the
Image
of
Jupiter
in
Candia
.
He
only
speaks
by
Signs
,
but
those
Signs
are
more
readily
obey'd
by
every
one
,
than
the
Statutes
of
Senates
,
or
Commands
of
Monarchs
;
neither
will
he
admit
the
least
Lett
,
or
delay
in
his
Summons
.
You
say
,
that
when
a
Lyon
roars
all
the
Beasts
at
a
considerable
distance
round
about
,
as
far
as
his
Roar
can
be
heard
,
are
seiz'd
with
a
shivering
.
This
is
written
,
'T
is
true
,
I
have
seen
it
.
I
assure
you
,
that
at
Master
Gaster's
Command
,
the
very
Heavens
tremble
,
and
all
the
Earth
shakes
,
his
Command
is
call'd
,
Do
this
or
dye
:
Needs
must
whom
the
Devil
drives
,
there
's
no
gain-saying
of
it
.
The
Pilot
was
telling
us
how
on
a
certain
Time
,
after
the
manner
of
the
Members
that
mutin'd
against
the
Belly
,
as
Aesop
describes
it
,
the
whole
Kingdom
of
the
Somates
went
off
into
a
direct
Faction
against
Gaster
,
resolving
to
throw
off
his
Yoke
,
but
they
soon
found
their
mistake
and
most
humbly
submitted
,
for
otherwise
they
had
all
been
Famish'd
.
What
Companies
soever
he
is
in
,
none
dispute
with
him
for
Precedence
or
Superiority
,
he
still
goes
first
,
tho
Kings
,
Emperors
,
or
even
the
Pope
were
there
.
So
he
held
the
first
Place
at
the
Council
of
Basle
,
tho
some
will
tell
you
that
the
Council
was
tumultuous
by
the
Contentions
and
Ambition
of
many
for
Priority
.
Every
one
is
busied
,
and
labours
to
serve
him
;
And
indeed
,
to
make
amends
for
this
,
he
do's
this
good
to
Mankind
,
as
to
invent
for
them
All
Arts
,
Machines
,
Trades
,
Engines
,
and
Crafts
:
he
even
instructs
Brutes
in
Arts
which
are
against
their
Nature
,
making
Poets
of
Ravens
,
Jack-Daws
,
chattering
Jays
,
Parrots
and
Starlings
,
and
Poetresses
of
Magpies
,
teaching
them
to
utter
human
Languages
,
Speak
and
Sing
;
and
All
for
the
Gut
.
He
reclaims
and
tames
Eagles
,
Gerfaulcons
,
Faulcons
gentle
,
Sakers
,
Lanniers
,
Gosse-hawks
,
Spar-hawks
,
Merlins
,
Hagards
,
Passengers
,
Wild
rapacious
Birds
;
so
that
setting
them
free
in
the
Air
,
whenever
he
thinks
fit
,
as
high
and
as
long
as
he
pleases
,
he
keeps
them
suspended
,
straying
,
flying
,
hovering
and
courting
him
above
the
Clouds
:
then
on
a
sudden
he
makes
them
stoop
and
come
down
amain
from
Heaven
next
to
the
Ground
;
and
all
for
the

CHAP.

.
How
at
the
Court
of
the
Master
of
Ingenuity
,
Pantagruel
detested
the
Engastrimythes
and
the
Gastrolaters
.
AT
the
Court
of
that
great
Master
of
Ingenuity
,
Pantagruel
observ'd
two
sorts
of
troublesom
and
too
officious
Apparitors
,
whom
he
very
much
detested
.
The
first
,
were
call'd
Engastrimythes
;
the
others
,
Gastrolaters
.
The
first
pretended
to
be
descended
of
the
Ancient
Race
of
Euricles
;
and
for
this
brought
the
Authority
of
Aristophanes
,
in
his
Comedy
call'd
,
The
Wasps
;
whence
of
old
they
were
call'd
Euriclians
,
as
Plato
writes
,
and
Plutarch
in
his
Book
of
the
Cessation
of
Oracles
.
In
the
Holy
Decrees
26
Qu.
3.
they
are
stil'd
Ventriloqui
;
and
the
same
Name
is
given
them
in
Ionian
by
Hippocrates
,
in
his
Fifth
Book
of
Epid.
as
Men
who
speak
from
the
Belly
.
Sophocles
calls
them
Sternomante●
.
These
were
Southsayers
,
Enchanters
,
Cheats
,
who
gull'd
the
Mob
,
and
seem'd
not
to
speak
and
give
Answers
from
the
Mouth
;
but
from
the
Belly
.
Such
a
one
,
about
the
Year
of
our
Lord
1513.
was
Jacoba
Rodogina
,
an
Italian
Woman
of
mean
Extract
;
From
whose
Belly
,
we
,
as
well
as
an
infinite
Number
of
others
at
Ferrara
,
and
elsewhere
,
have
often
heard
the
Voice
of
the
Evil
Spirit
speak
,
low
,
feeble
and
small
indeed
;
but
yet
very
distinct
,
articulate
and
intelligible
,
when
she
was
sent
for
,
out
of
Curiosity
,
by
the
Lords
and
Princes
of
the
Cisalpine
Gaul
.
To
remove
all
Manner
of
Doubt
,
and
be
assur'd
that
this
was
not
a
Trick
,
they
us'd
to
have
her
Stripp'd
stark
naked
,
and
caus'd
her
Mouth
and
Nose
to
be
stopp'd
.
This
Evil
Spirit
would
be
call'd
Curl●d-Pate
,
or
Cincinnatulo
,
seeming
pleas'd
when
any
call'd
him
by
that
Name
;
at
which
,
he
was
always
ready
to
Answer
.
If
any
Spoke
to
him
of
things
past
or
present
,
he
gave
pertinent
Answers
,
sometimes
to
the
Amazement
of
the
Hearers
;
but
if
of
things
to
come
,
then
the
Devil
was
gravell'd
,
and
us'd
to
Lye
as
fast
as
a
Dog
can
Trot.
Nay
,
sometimes
he
seem'd
to
own
his
Ignorance
,
instead
of
an
Answer
,
letting
out
a
rouzing
●art
,
or
muttering
some
words
with
barbarous
and
uncouth
Inflexions
,
and
not
to
be
understood
.
As
for
the
Gastrolaters
,
they
stuck
close
to
one
another
in
Knots
and
Gangs
.
Some
of
them
Merry
,
Wanton
,
and
Soft
as
so
many
Milksops
;
others
lowring
,
grim
,
dogged
,
demure
and
crabbed
,
all
idle
,
mortal
foes
to
business
,
spending
half
their
Time
in
sleeping
,
and
the
rest
in
doing
nothing
,
a
Rent-charge
and
dead
unnecessary
Weight
on
the
Earth
,
as
Hesiod
saith
;
afraid
(
as
we
judg'd
)
of
offending
or
l●ssening
their
Paunch
.
Others
were
mask'd
,
disguis'd
,
and
so
oddly
dress'd
,
that
't
would
have
done
you
good
to
have
seen
them
.
There
's
a
Saying
,
and
several
Ancient
Sages
write
,
That
the
Skill
of
Nature
appears
wonderful
in
the
Pleasure
which
she
seems
to
have
taken
in
the
Configuration
of
Sea-shells
,
so
great
is
their
Variety
in
figures
,
colours
,
streaks
,
and
inimitable
shapes
,
I
protest
,
the
Variety
we
perceiv'd
in
the
Dresses
of
the
Gastrolatrous
Coquillons
was
not
less
.
They
all
own'd
Gaster
for
their
Supreme
God
,
ador'd
him
as
a
God
,
offer'd
him
Sacrifices
as
to
their
Omnipotent
Deity
,
own'd
no
other
God
,
serv'd
,
lov'd
,
and
honour'd
him
above
all
things
.
You
would
have
thought
that
the
Holy
Apostle
spoke
of
those
,
when
he
said
,
Phil.

Many

I
have
told

often

I
only

CHAP.
LIX
.
Of
the
ridiculous
Statue
Manduce
;
and
how
,
and
what
the
Gastrolaters
Sacrifice
to
their
Ventripotent
God
.
WHile
we
fed
our
Eyes
with
the
sight
of
the
Phyzzes
and
Actions
of
these
lozelly
Gulligutted
Gastrolaters
,
we
on
a
sudden
heard
the
Sound
of
a
Musical
Instrument
call'd
a
Bell
,
at
which
all
of
them
plac'd
themselves
in
Rank
and
File
as
for
some
mighty
Battel
,
every
one
according
to
his
Office
,
Degree
and
Seniority
.
In
this
Order
,
they
mov'd
towards
Master
Gaster
,
after
a
plump
,
young
,
lusty
gorbellied
Fellow
,
who
on
a
long
Staff
fairly
gilt
,
carried
a
wooden
Statue
grosly
carv'd
and
as
scurvily
daub'd
o'r
with
Paint
,
such
a
one
as
Plautus
,
Juvenal
and
Pomp.
Festus
describe
it
.
At
Lions
during
the
Carnaval
't
is
call'd
Masche-crouste
,
or
Gnaw
crust
;
they
call'd
this
Manduce
.
It
was
a
monstrous
,
ridiculous
,
hideous
Figure
,
fit
to
fright
little
Children
:
Its
Eves
were
bigger
than
its
Belly
,
and
its
Head
larger
than
all
the
rest
of
its
Body
,
well
Mouth-cloven
however
,
having
a
goodly
Pair
of
wide
,
broad
Jaws
,
lin'd
with
two
Rows
of
Teeth
,
upper
Teer
and
under
Teer
,
which
,
by
the
Magic
of
a
small
Twine
hid
in
the
hollow
part
of
the
Golden
Staff
,
were
made
to
clash
,
clatter
and
rattle
dreadfully
one
against
another
,
as
they
do
at
Metz
with
St.
Clement's
Dragon
.
Coming
near
the
Gastrolaters
,
I
saw
they
were
follow'd
by
a
great
Number
of
fat
Waiters
and
Tenders
laden
with
Baskets
,
Dossers
,
Hampers

singing
I
don't
know
what
Dithyrambics
,

What
the
Gastrolaters
Sacrific'd
to
their
God
on
interlarded
Fish-Days
.
PAntagruel
did
not
like
this
Pack
of
Rascally
Scoundrels
with
their
manifold
Kitchen
Sacrifices
,
and
would
have
been
gone
,
had
not
Epistemon
prevail'd
with
him
to
stay

see
the
End
of
the
Farce
;
he
then
ask'd
the
Skipper
,
what
the
idle
Lobcocks
us'd
to
sacrifice
to
their
gorbellied
God
on
interlarded

'T
was
none
of
their
Fault
I
'll
assure
you
,
if
this
same
God
of
theirs
was
not
publickly
,
preciously
and
plentifully
serv'd
in
his
Sacrifices
,
better
yet
than
Heliogabalus's
Idol
;
nay
more
than
Bell
and
the
Dragon
in
Babylon
under
King
Balshazzar
.
Yet
Gaster
had
the
Manners
to
own
that
he
was
no
God
,
but
a
poor
,
vile
,
wretched
Creature
.
And
as
King
Antigonus
,
first
of
the
Name
,
when
one
Hermodotus
,
(
as
Poets
will
flatter
,
espepecially
Princes
)
in
some
of
his
Fustian
dubb'd
him
a
God
,
and
made
the
Sun
adopt
him
for
his
Son
,
said
to
him
,
My
Lasanophore
,
(
or
in
plain
English
,
my
Groom
of
the
Close
stool
)
can
give
thee
the
Lye
;
so
Master
Gaster
very
civilly
us'd
to
send
back
his
Bigotted
Worshipers
to
his
Close-stool
,
to
see
,
smell
,
taste
,
philosophise
and
examin
what
kind
of
Divinity
they
could
pick
out
of
his
Sir-reverence
.

How
Gaster
invented
Means
to
get
and
preserve
Corn.
THose
Gastrolatrous
Hobgoblins
being
withdrawn
,
Pantagruel
carefully
minded
the
Famous
Master
of
Arts
,
Gaster
.
You
know
that
by
the
Institution
of
Nature
,
Bread
has
been
assign'd
him
for
Provision
and
Food
,
and
that
as
an
addition
to
this
Blessing
,
he
should
never
want
the
means
to
get
Bread
.
Accordingly
,
from
the
beginning
he
invented
the
Smith's
Art
and
Husbandry
to
manure
the
ground
that
it
might
yield
him
Corn
;
he
invented
Arms
,
and
the
Art
of
War
to
defend
Corn
;
Physick
and
Astronomy
,
with
other
parts
of
Mathematicks
,
which
might
be
useful
to
keep
Corn
a
great
number
of
years
in
safety
from
the
injuries
of
the
Air
,
Beasts
,
Robbers
and
Purloiners
;
he
invented
Water
,
Wind
and
Hand-Mills
,
and
a
thousand
other
Engines
to
grind
Corn
,
and
turn
it
into
Meal
,
Leaven
to
make
the
Dough
ferment
,
and
the
use
of
Salt
to
give
it
a
savour
,
for
he
knew
that
nothing
bred
more
Diseases
than
heavy
,
unleaven'd
,
unsavoury
Bread
.
He
found
a
way
to
get
Fire
to
Bake
it
;
Hour-glasses
,
Dials
and
Clocks
to
mark
the
time
of
its
Baking
;
and
as
some
Countries
wanted
Corn
,
he
contriv'd
means
to
convey
some
out
of
one
Country
into
another
.
He
had
the
Wit
to
Pimp
for
Asses
and
Mares
,
Animals
of
different
species
,
that
they
might
Copulate
for
the
Generation
of
a
third
,
which
we
call
Mules
,
more
strong
and
fit
for
hard
service
than
the
other
two
.
He
invented
Carts
and
Waggons
to
draw
him
along
with
greater
ease
;
and
as
Seas
and
Rivers
hindred
his
Progress
,
he
devis'd
Boats
,
Gallies
and
Ships
(
to
the
astonishment
of
the
Elements
)
to
waft
him
over
to
barbarous
,
unknown
,
and
far
distant
Nations
,
thence
to
bring
,
or
thither
to
carry
Corn.
Besides
,
seeing
that
,
when
he
had
tilled
the
ground
,
some
years
the
Corn
perish'd
in
it
for
want
of
Rain
in
due
season
,
in
others
rotted
,
or
was
drown'd
by
its
excess
,
sometimes
spoil'd
by
Hail
,
eat
by
Worms
in
the
Ear
,
or
beaten
down
by
Storms
,
and
so
his
Stock
was
destroy'd
on
the
ground
;
we
were
told
that
ever
since
the
days
of
Yore
,
he
has
found
out
a
way
to
Conjure
the
Rain
down
from
Heaven
only
with
cutting
certain
Grass
,
common
enough
in
the
Field
,
yet
known
to
very
few
,
some
of
which
was
then
shown
us
:
I
took
it
to
be
the
same
as
the
Plant
,
one
of
whose
Boughs
being
dipp'd
by
Jove's
Priest
into
the
Agrian
Fountain
,
on
the
Lycian
Mountain
in
Arcadia
in
time
of
Drought
,
rais'd
Vapours
which
gather'd
into
Clouds
,
and
then
dissolv'd
into
Rain
,
that
kindly
moisten'd
the
whole
Country
.
Our
Master
of
Arts
was
also
said
to
have
found
a
way
to
keep
the
Rain
up
in
the
Air
,
and
make
it
fall
into
the
Sea
;
also
to
annihilate
the
Hail
,
suppress
the
Winds
,
and
remove
Storms
as
the
Methanensians
of
Troezene
us'd
to
do
.
And
as
in
the
Fields
Thieves
and
Plunderers
sometimes
stole
and
took
by
force
the
Corn
and
Bread
which
others
had
toyl'd
to
get
,
he
invented
the
Art
of
Building
Towns
,
Forts
,
and
Castles
,
to
hoard
and
secure
that
staff
of
Life
;
on
the
other
hand
,
finding
none
in
the
Fields
,
and
hearing
that
it
was
hoarded
up
and
secur'd
in
Towns
,
Forts
,
and
Castles
,
and
watch'd
with
more
care
than
ever
were
the
Golden
Pippins
of
the
Hesperides
,
he
turn'd
Ingenier
,
and
found
ways
to
beat
,
storm
,
and
demolish
Forts
and
Castles
,
with
Machines
,
and
Warlike
Thunderbolts
,
battering
Rams
,
Balists
,
and
Catapults
,
whose
shapes
were
shown
us
,
not
over-well
understood
by
our
Ingeniers
,
Architects
,
and
other
Disciples
of
Vitruvius
,
as
Master
Philebert
de
l'Orme
,
King
Megistus's
principal
Architect
has
own'd
to
us
.
And
seeing
that
sometimes
all
these
Tools
of
Destruction
were
baffled
by
the
cunning
subtilty
,
or
the
subtle
,
cunning
(
which
you
please
)
of
Fortifiers
,
he
lately
Invented
Cannons
,
Field-pieces
,
Culverins
,
Bombards
,
Basilisko's
,
Murthering
Instruments
that
dart
Iron
,
Leaden
,
and
Brazen
Balls
,
some
of
them
outweighing
huge
Anvils
;
this
by
the
means
of
a
most
dreadful
Powder
,
whose
Hellish
Compound
and
Effect
has
even
amaz'd
Nature
,
and
made
her
own
her self
out-done
by
Art
;
the
Oxydracan
Thunders
,
Hails
and
Storms
,
by
which
the
people
of
that
Name
immediately
destroy'd
their
Enemies
in
the
Field
,
being
but
meer
Pot-guns
to
these
.
For
,
one
of
our
great
Guns
when
us'd
,
is
more
dreadful
,
more
terrible
,
more
diabolical
,
and
maims
,
tears
,
breaks
,
slays
,
mows
down
,
sweeps
away
more
Men
,
and
causes
a
greater
Consternation
and
Destruction
than
a
hundred
Thunderbolts
.

How
Gaster
invented
an
Art
to
avoid
being
hurt
or
touch'd
by
Cannon
Balls
.
GAster
having
secur'd
himself
with
his
Corn
within
strong
Holds
,
has
sometimes
been
attack'd
by
Enemies
,
his
Fortresses
,
by
that
thrice
threefold
curst
Instrument
,
levell'd
and
destroy'd
,
his
dearly
beloved
Corn
and
Bread
snatch'd
out
of
his
Mouth
,
and
sack'd
by
a
Titannick
Force
,
therefore
he
then
sought
means
to
preserve
his
Walls
,
Bastions
,
Rampiers
,
and
Sconces
from
Cannon-shot
,
and
to
hinder
the
Bullets
from
hitting
him
,
stopping
them
in
their
flight
,
or
at
least
from
doing
him
,
or
the
Besiegers
and
Walls
any
damage
;
he
show'd
us
a
tryal
of
this
,
which
has
been
since
us'd
by
Fronton
,
and
is
now
common
amo●g
the
Pastimes
and
harmless
Recreations
of
the
Thelemites
.
I
'll
tell
you
how
he
went
to
work
,
and
pray
for
the
future
be
a
little
more
ready
to
believe
what
Plutarch
affirms
to
have
try'd
;
Suppose
a
Herd
of
Goats
were
all
scampering
as
if
the
Devil
drove
'em
,
do
but
put
a
bit
of
Eringo
into
the
Mouth
of
the
hindmost
Nanny
,
and
they
will
all
stop
stock-still
,
in
the
time
you
can
tell
three
.
Thus
Gaster
,
having
caus'd
a
Brass
Faulkon
to
be
charg'd
,
with
a
sufficient
quantity
of
Gunpowder
,
well
purg'd
from
its
Sulphur
,
and
curiously
made
up
with
fine
Camphir
,
he
then
had
a
suitable
Ball
put
into
the
Piece
,
with
twenty
four
little
pellets
like
Hail-shot
,
some
round
,
some
pearl
fashion
,
then
taking
his
aim
,
and
levelling
it
at
a
Page
of
his
,
as
if
he
would
have
hit
him
on
the
Breast
,
about
sixty
strides
off
the
Piece
,
half
way
between
it
and
the
Page
in
a
right
Line
,
he
hang'd
on
a
Gibbet
by
a
Rope
a
very
large
Side-rite
or
iron-like
Stone
,
otherwise
call'd
Herculean
,
formerly
found
on
Ida
in
Phrygia
by
one
Magnes
as
Nicander
writes
,
and
commonly
call'd
Load
stone
:
Then
he
gave
Fire
to
the
Prime
on
the
Piece's
Touch-hole
,
which
in
an
instant
consuming
the
Powder
,
the
Ball
and
Hail-shot
were
with
incredible
violence
and
swiftness
hurried
out
of
the
Gun
at
its
Muzzle
,
that
the
Air
might
penetrate
to
its
Chamber
,
where
otherwise
would
have
been
a
Vacuum
;
which
Nature
abhors
so
much
that
this
Universal
Machine
,
Heaven
,
Air
,
Land
,
and
Sea
would
sooner
return
to
the
Primitive
Chaos
than
admit
the
least
void
any
where
.
Now
the
Ball
and
small
shot
which
threaten'd
the
Page
with
no
less
than
quick
Destruction
,
lost
their
impetuosity
,
and
remain'd
suspended
and
hovering
round
the
Stone
,
nor
did
any
one
of
them
,
notwithstanding
the
fury
with
which
they
rush'd
,
reach
the
Page
.
Master
Gaster
could
do
more
than
all
this
yet
,
if
you
'll
believe
me
,
for
he
invented
a
way
how
to
cause
Bullets
to
fly
backwards
,
and
recoyl
on
those
that
sent
'em
,
with
as
great
a
force
,
and
in
the
very
numerical
parallel
for
which
the
Guns
were
planted
.
And
indeed
,
why
should
he
have
thought
this
difficult
,
seeing
the
Herb
Ethiopis
opens
all
Locks
whatsoever
,
and
an
Echineis
or
Remora
,
a
silly
weakly
Fish
,
in
spight
of
all
the
Winds
that
blow
from
the
32
Points
of
the
Compass
,
will
in
the
midst
of
a
Hurricane
make
you
the
biggest
First
Rate
remain
stock
still
as
if
she
were
becalm'd
,
or
the
Blustering
Tribe
had
blown
their
last
;
nay
,
and
with
the
Flesh
of
that
Fish
preserv'd
with
Salt
,
you
may
fish
Gold
out
of
the
deepest
Well
that
was
ever
founded
with
a
Plummet
,
for
it
will
certainly
draw
up
the
precious
Metal
,
since
Democritus
affirm'd
it
.
Theophrastus
believ'd
and
experienc'd
that
there
was
an
Herb
at
whose
single
touch
an
Iron
Wedge
tho
never
so
far
driven
into
a
huge
log
of
the
hardest
Wood
that
is
,
would
presently
come
out
,
and
't
is
this
same
Herb
your
Hickways
,
alias
Woodpeckers
use
,
when
with
some
mighty
Ax
any
one
stops
up
the
hole
of
their
Nests
,
which
they
industriously
dig
and
make
in
the
Trunk
of
some
sturdy
Tree
.
Since
Stags
and
Hinds
when
deeply
wounded
with
Darts
,
Arrows
,
and
Bolts
,
if
they
do
but
meet
the
Herb
call'd
Dittany
,
which
is
common
in
Candia
,
and
eat
a
little
of
it
,
presently
the
shafts
come
out
,
and
all
's
well
again
;
even
as
kind
Venus
cur'd
her
Beloved
By-blow
Aeneas
,
when
he
was
wounded
on
the
right
Thigh
with
an
Arrow
by
Juturna
Turnus's
Sister
.
Since
the
very
Wind
of
Laurels
,
Fig-trees
,
or
Sea-calves
,
makes
the
Thunder
sheer
off
,
insomuch
that
it
never
strikes
them
.
Since
at
the
sight
of
a
Ram
,
mad
Elephants
recover
their
former
Sences
;
since
mad
Bulls
coming
near
wild
Fig-trees
call'd
Caprifici
grow
tame
,
and
will
not
budge
a
foot
,
as
if
they
had
the
Cramp
.
Since
the
Venemous
rage
of
Vipers
is
asswag'd
,
if
you
but
touch
them
with
a
Beechen
Bough
.
Since
also
Euphorion
writes
,
that
in
the
Isle
of
Samos
,
before
Juno's
Temple
was
Built
there
,
he
has
seen
some
Beasts
call'd
Neades
,
whose
voice
made
the
neighbouring
places
gape
and
sink
into
a
Chasm
and
Abyss
.
In
short
,
since
Elders
grow
of
a
more
pleasing
sound
,
and
fitter
to
make
Flutes
in
such
places
where
the
crowing
of
Cocks
is
not
heard
,
as
the
Ancient
Sages
have
writ
,
and
Theophrastus
relates
;
as
if
the
crowing
of
a
Cock
dull'd
,
flatten'd
and
perverted
the
Wood
of
the
Elder
,
as
it
is
said
to
astonish
and
stupify
with
fear
that
strong
and
resolute
Animal
,
a
Lion
.
I
know
that
some
have
understood
this
of
wild
Elder
,
that
grows
so
far
from
Towns
or
Villages
that
the
crowing
of
Cocks
cannot
reach
near
it
;
and
doubtless
that
sort
ought
to
be
preferr'd
to
the
stenching
common
Elder
that
grows
about
decay'd
and
ruin'd
places
;
but
others
have
understood
this
in
a
higher
sence
,
not
litteral
,
but
allegorical
,
according
to
the
method
of
the
Pythagoreans
.
As
when
it
was
said
that
Mercury's
Statue
could
not
be
made
of
every
sort
of
Wood
,
to
which
Sentence
they
give
this
sence
;
That
God
is
not
to
be
worship'd
in
a
vulgar
form
,
but
in
a
chosen
and
religious
manner
.
In
the
same
manner
by
this
Elder
,
which
grows
far
from
places
where
Cocks
are
heard
,
the
Ancients
meant
,
that
the
wise
and
studious
ought
not
to
give
their
minds
to
trivial
or
vulgar
Musick
,
but
to
that
which
is
Celestial
,
Divine
,
Angelical
,
more
abstracted
and
brought
from
remoter
parts
,
that
is
from
a
Region
where
the
crowing
of
Cocks
is
not
heard
;
for
,
to

How
Pantagruel
fell
asleep
near
the
Island
of
Chaneph
,
and
of
the
Problems
propos'd
to
be
solv'd
when
he
wak'd
.
THE
next
day
merrily
pursuing
our
Voyage
we
came
in
sight
of
the
Island
of
Chan●ph
,
where
Pantagruel's
Ship
could
not
arrive
,
the
Wind
chopping
about
,
and
then
failing
us
so
that
we
were
becalm'd
,
and
could
hardly
get
o'
head
,
tacking
about
from
Starboard
to
La●board
,
and
from
Latboard
to
Starboard
,
tho
to
our
Sails
we
had
added
Drablers
.
With
this
accident
we
were
all
out
of
sorts
,
moping
,
drooping
,
metagrabolized
as
dull
as
Dun
in
the
Mire
,
in
Csol
fa
ut
flat
out
of
Tune
,
off
the
hinges
,
and
I
don't
know
howish
,
without
caring
to
speak
one
single
syllable
to
each
other
.
Pantagruel
was
taking
a
Nap
,
slumbering
and
nodding
on
the
Quarter-deck
,
by
the
Cuddy
,
with
an
Heliodorus
in
his
hand
,
for
still
't
was
his
custom
to
sleep
better
by
Book
than
by
Heart
.
Epistemon
was
Conjuring
with
his
Astrolabe
to
know
what
Latitude
we
were
in
.
Fryar
Ihon
was
got
into
the
Cook-room
examining
by
the
Ascendant
of
the
Spits
,
and
the
Horoscope
of
Ragousts
and
Fricassees
what
time
o'
day
it
might
then
be
.
Panurge
(
sweet
Baby
!
)
held
a
stalk
of
Pantagruelion
,
alias
Hemp
,
next
his
Tongue
,
and
with
it
made
pretty
Bubbles
and
Bladders
.
Gymnast
was
making
Tooth-pickers
with
Lentisk
.
Ponocrates
,
dozing
,
doz'd
,
and
dreaming
dream'd
,
tickled
himself
to
make
himself
laugh
,
and
with
one
Finger
scratch'd
his
Noddle
where
it
did
not
itch
.
Carpalim
with
a
Nut-shell
,
and
a
Trencher
of
Verne
,
[
that
's
a
Card
in
Gascony
]
was
making
a
pretty
little
merry
Wind-mill
,
cutting
the
Card
long-ways
into
four
slips
,
and
fastning
them
with
a
Pin
to
the
Convex
of
the
Nut
,
and
its
Concave
to
the
tarr'd
side
of
the
Gunnel
of
the
Ship
.
Eusthenes
bestriding
one
of
the
Guns
,
was
playing
on
it
with
his
Fingers
,
as
if
it
had
been
a
Trump-marine
.
Rhizotome
with
the
soft
Coat
of
a
Field-Tortoise
,
alias
eclip'd
a
Mole
,
was
making
himself
a
Velvet
Purse
.
Xenomanes
was
patching
up
an
old
weather-beaten
Lantern
with
a
Hawk's
Jesses
.
Our
Pilot
(
good
Man
!
)
was
pulling
Maggots
out
of
the
Seamen's
Noses
.
At
last
Fryar
Ihon
returning
from
the
Fore-castle
,
perceiv'd
that
Pantagruel
was
awake
.
Then
breaking
this
obstinate
silence
,
he
briskly
and
cheerfully
ask'd
him
,
how
a
Man
should
kill
Time
,
and
raise
good
Weather
,
during
a
Calm
at
Sea
?
Panurge
,
whose
Belly
thought
his
Throat
cut
,
back'd
the
Motion
presently
,
and
ask'd
for
a
Pill
to
purge
Melancholy
?
Epistemon
also
came
on
,
and
ask'd
how
a
Man
might
be
ready
to
bepiss
himself
with
Laughing
,
when
he
has
no
heart
to
be
merry
?
Gymnast
arising
,
demanded
a
Remedy
for
a
dimness
of
Eyes
?
Ponocrates
,
after
he
had
a
while
rub'd
his
Noddle
,
and
shak'd
his
Ears
,
ask'd
,
How
one
might
avoid
Dog-sleep
?
Hold
,
cry'd
Pantagruel
,
the
Peripateticks
have
wisely
made
a
Rule
,
that
all
Problems
,
Questions
and
Doubts
which
are
offer'd
to
be
solv'd
,
ought
to
be
certain
,
clear
,
and
intelligible
;
what
do
you
mean
by
Dog-sleep
?
I
mean
,
answer'd
Ponocrates
,
to
sleep
fasting
in
the
Sun
at
Noon-day
,
as
the
Dogs
do
.
Rhizotome
,
who
lay
stooping
on
the
Pump
,
rais'd
his
drowsy
Head
,
and
lazily
yawning
,
by
natural
sympathy
,
set
almost
every
one
in
the
Ship
a
yawning
too
;
then
ask'd
for
a
Remedy
against
Oscitations
and
Gapings
?
Xenomanes
,
half
puzzled
,
and
tir'd
out
with
new
vamping
his
antiquated
Lantern
,
ask'd
,
How
the
Hold
of
the
Stomach
might
be
so
well
ballasted
and
freighted
from
the
Keel
to
the
Main
hatch
with
stores
well
stowed
,
that
our
humane
Vessels
might
not
heeld
,
or
be
walt
,
but
well
trimm'd
,
and
stiff
?
Carpalim
twirling
his
diminutive
Wind-mill
,
ask'd
how
many
Motions
are
to
be
felt
in
Nature
before
a
Gentleman
may
be
said
to
be
hungry
?
Eusthenes
hearing
them
talk
,
came
from
between
Decks
,
and
from
the
Capstern
call'd
out
to
know
why
a
Man
that
's
fasting
,
bit
by
a
Serpent
also
fasting
,
is
in
greater
danger
of
death
,
than
when
Man
and
Serpent
have
eat
their
Breakfasts
?
Why
a
Man's
fasting-spittle
is
poysonous
to
Serpents
and
venemous
Creatures
?
One
single
solution
may
serve
for
all
your
Problems
,
Gentlemen
,
answer'd
Pantagruel
,
and
one
single
Medicine
for
all
such
symptoms
and
accidents
.
My
answer
shall
be
short
,
not
to
the
you
with
a
long
needless
train
of
pedantick
Cant
:
The
Belly
has
no
Ears
,
nor
is
it
to
be
fill'd
with
fair
words
;
you
shall
be
answer'd
to
content
by
signs
and
gestures
.
As
formerly
at
Rome
Tarquin
the
Proud
,
its
last
King
,
sent
an
answer
by
signs
to
his
Son
Sextus
,
who
was
among
the
Gabii
,
(
saying
this
,
he
pull'd
the
string
of
a
little
Bell
,
and
Fryar
Ihon
hurried
away
to
the
Cock-room
)
The
Son
having
sent
his
Father
a
Messenger
to
know
how
he
might
bring
the
Gabii
under
a
close
subjection
;
the
King
mistrusting
the
Messenger
,
made
him
no
answer
,
and
only
took
him
into
his
Privy-garden
,
and
in
his
presence
with
his
Sword
lopt
off
the
Heads
o●
the
tall
Poppies
that
were
there
.
The
Express
return'd
without
any
other
dispatch
,
yet
having
related
to
the
Prince
what
he
had
seen
his
Father
do
,
he
easily
understood
that
by
those
signs
he
advis'd
him
to
cut
off
the
Heads
of
the
chief
Men
in
the
Town
,
the
better
to
keep
under
the
rest
of
the
people
.

How
Pantagruel
gave
no
answer
to
the
Problems
.
PAntagruel
then
ask'd
,
what
sorts
of
people
dwell'd
in
that
Damn'd
Island
?
They
are
,
answer'd
Xenomanes
,
all
Hypocrites
,
holy
Mountebanks
,
Tumblers
of
Beads
,
Mumblers
of
Ave
Maries
,
spiritual
Comedians
,
sham
Saints
,
Hermits
,
all
of
them
poor
Rogues
,
who
like
the
Hermit
of
Lormont
between
Blaye
and
Bordeaux
,
live
wholly
on
Alms
given
them
by
Passengers
.
Catch
me
there
if
you
can
,
cry'd
Panurge
,
may
the
Devil's
Head-cook
conjure
my
Bum-gut
into
a
pair
of
Bellows
,
if
ever
you
find
me
among
them
.
Hermits
,
sham
Saints
,
living
Forms
of
Mortification
,
holy
Mountebanks
,
avaunt
,
in
the
Name
of
your
Father
Sathan
get
out
of
my
sight
;
when
the
Devil
's
a
Hog
you
shall
eat
Bacon
.
I
shall
not
forget
yet
a
while
our
fat
Concilipetes
of
Chesil
;
O
that
Beelzebub
and
Astaroth
had
counsell'd
them
to
hang
themselves
out
of
the
way
,
and
they
had
do●e't
,
we
had
not
then
suffer'd
so
much
by
devilish
Storms
as
we
did
for
having
seen
'em
.
Harkee
me
,
dear
Rogue
,
Xenomanes
,
my
Friend
,
I
pr'y
thee
are
these
He●●●i●s
,
Hypocrites
,
and
Eves-droppers
,
Maids
●r
Married
?
Is
there
any
thing
of
the
Feminine
Gender
among
them
?
Could
a
Body
Hypocritically
take
there
a
small
hypocritical
Touch
?
Will
they
lye
backwards
,
and
let
out
their
fore-rooms
?
There
's
a
fine
question
to
be
ask'd
,
cry'd
Pantagruel
!
Yes
,
yes
,
answer'd
Xenomanes
,
you
may
find
there
many
goodly
Hypocritesses
,
●olly
spiritual
Actresses
,
kind
Hermitesses
,
Women
that
have
a
plaguy
deal
of
Religion
;
then
there
's
the
Copies
of
'em
,
little
Hypocritillons
,
Sham-sanctitos
,
and
Hermitillons
:
Foh
,
away
with
them
,
cry'd
Fryar
Ihon
,
a
young
Saint
an
old
Devil
,
(
mark
this
,
an
old
saying
,
and
as
true
a
one
,
as
a
young
Whore
an
old
Saint
.
Were
there
not
such
,
continu'd
Xenomanes
,
the
Isle
of
Caneph
for
want
of
a
multiplication
of
Progeny
,
had
long
ere
this
been
desert
and
desolate
.
Pantagruel
sent
them
by
Gymnast
in
the
Pinnace
seventy
eight
thousand
fine
pretty
little
Gold
Half-Crowns
,
of
those
that
are
mark'd
with
a
Lantern
.
After
this
he
ask'd
,
What
's
o'
Clock
?
Past
nine
,
answer'd
Epistemon
.
'T
is
then
the
best
time
to
go
to
Dinner
,
said
Pantagruel
,
for
the
sacred
Line
so
celebrated
by
Aristophanes
in
his
Play
call'd
Concionatores
is
at
hand
,
never
failing
when
the
shadow
is
decempedal
.
Formerly
among
the
Persians
Dinner
time
was
at
a
set
hour
only
for
Kings
;
as
for
all
others
,
their
Appetite
and
their
Belly
was
their
Clock
;
when
that
chim'd
,
they
thought
it
time
to
go
to
Dinner
.
So
we
find
in
Pla●tus
a
certain
Parasite
making
a
heavy
do
,
and
sadly
railing
at
the
Inventors
of
Hour-glasses
and
Dials
,
as
being
unnecessary
things
,
there
being
no
Clock
more
regular
than
the
Belly
.
Diogenes
being
ask'd
at
what
times
a
Man
ought
to
eat
,
answer'd
,
The
Rich
when
he
is
hungry
,
the
Poor
when
he
has
any
thing
to
eat
.
Physi●ians
more
properly
say
,
that
the
Canonical
Hours
are
,
To
rise
at
five
,
to
dine
at
nine
,
To
sup
at
five
,
to
sleep
at
nine
.
The
famous
King
Petorsi●i●'s
Magick
was
different
—
here
the
Officers
for
the
Gut
came
in
,
and
got
ready
the
Tables
and
Cupboards
,
laid
the
Cloth
,
whose
sight
and
pleasant
smell
were
very
comfortable
;
and
brought
Plates
,
Napkins
,
Salts
,
Tankards
,
Flaggons
,
Tall-boys
,
Ewers
,
Tumblers
,
Cups
,
Goblets
,
Basons
,
and
Cisterns
.
Friar
Ihon
at
the
head
of
the
Stewards
,
Sewe●s
,
Yeomen
of
the
Pantry
,
and
of
the
Mouth
,
Tasters
,
Carvers
,
Cup-bearers
,
and
Cupboard-keepers
,
brought
four
stately
Pasties
,
so
huge
that
they
put
me
in
mind
of
the
four
Bastions
at
Turin
;
●ods
fish
,
how
manfully
did
they
storm
them
!
What
havock
did
they
make
with
the
long
train
of
Dishes
that
came
after
them
,
how
bravely
did
they
stand
to
their
Pan
puddings
,
and
pay'd
off
their
Dust
?
How
merrily
did
they
soak
their
Noses
!
The
Fruit
was
not
yet
brought
in
,
when
a
fresh
gale
at
West
and
by
North
began
to
fill
the
Main-course
,
Misen-sail
,
Fore-sail
,
Tops
,
and
Top-gallants
;
for
which
Blessing
they
all
sung
divers
Hymns
of
Thanks
and
Praise
.
When
the
Fruit
was
on
the
Table
,
Pantagruel
ask'd
.
Now
tell
me
,
Gentlemen
,
a●e
your
Doubts
fully
resolv'd
or
no

I
gape
and
yawn
no
more

answer'd
Rhizotome
;
I
sleep
no

said
Ponocrates

I

How
Pantagruel
past
the
Time
with
his
Servants
.
IN
what
Hierarchy
of
such
Venemous
Creatures
do
you
place
Panurge's
future
Spouse
,
ask'd
Friar
Jhon
?
Art
thou
speaking
ill
of
Women
,
cry'd
Panurge
,
thou
mangy
Sco●ndrel
,
thou
sorry

nod●●●peak'd

?
By
the
Cenomanic
Paunch
and
Gixie
,
said
Epistemon
,
Euripides
has
written
,
and
makes
Andromache
say
it
,
that
by
Industry
,
and
the
help
of
the
Gods
,
Men
had
found
Remedies
against
all
poisonous
Creatures
;
but
none
was
yet
found
against
a
bad
Wife
.
This
flaunting
Euripides
,
cry'd
Panurge
,
was
gabbling
against
Women
every
foot
,
and
therefore
was
devour'd
by
Dogs
,
as
a
Judgment
from
Above
;
as
Aristophanes
observes
—
Let
's
go
on
,
let
him
speak
that
's
next
.
I
can
leak
now
like
any
Stone-horse
,
said
then
Epistemon
.
I
am
,
said
Xenomanes
,
full
as
an
Egg
and
round
as
a
Hoop
;
my

Hold
can
hold
no

Said
Carpa●●n

A
Truce
with
Thirst
,
a
Truce
with
Hunger
;
They
're
strong
,
but
Wine
and
Meat
are
stronger
.
I
'm
no
more
in
the
Dump
,
cry'd
Panurge
,
my
Heart
's
a
Pound
lighter
.
I
'm
in
the
right
●●e
now
,
as
brisk
as
a
Body-Louse
,
and
as
merry
as
a
Beggar
.
For
my
part
,
I
know
what
I
do
when
I
drink
;
and
't
is
a
true
thing
(
though
't
is
in
your
Euripide●
)
that
is
said
by
that
jolly
Toper
Silenus
of
blessed
Memory
,
that
The
Man
's
emphatically
Mad
,
Who
drinks
the
Best
,
yet
can
be
sa●
.
We
must
not
fail
to
return
our
humble
and
hearty
Thanks
to
the
Being
,
who
,
with
this
good
Bread
,
this
cool
delicious
Wine
,
these
good
Meats
and
ra●e
Dainties
,
removes
from
our
Bodies
and
Minds
these
Pains
and
Perturbati●ns
,
and
at
the
same
Time
,
fills
us
with
Pleasure
and
with
Food
.
But
methinks
,
Sir
,
you
did
not
give
an
Answer
to
Friar
Jhon's
Question
;
which
,
as
I
take
it
,
was
,
how
to
raise
good
Weather
?
Since
you
ask
no
more
than
this
easie
Question
,
answer'd
Pantagruel
,
I
'll
strive
to
give
you
satisfaction
,
and
some
other
time
we
'll
talk
of
the
rest
of
the
Problems
,
if
you
will
.
Well
then
,
Friar
Jhon
ask'd
how
good
Weather
might
be
rais'd
:
have
we
not
rais'd
it
?
Look
up
,
and
see
our
full
Top-sails
;
Ha●k
!
how
the
Wind
whistles
through
the
Shrouds
,
what
a
stiff
Gale
it
blows
;
observe
the
Rattling
of
the
Tacklings
,
and
see
the
Sheats
,
that
fasten
the
Main
sail
b●hind
;
the
force
of
the
Wind
puts
them
upon
the
stretch
.
While
we
pass'd
our
time
merrily
,
the
d●ll
Weather
also
pass'd
away
,
and
while
we
rais'd
the
Glasses
to
our
Mouths
,
we
also
rais'd
the
Wind
by
a
secret
sympathy
in
Nature
.
Thus
Atlas
and
Hercules
Clubb'd
to
raise
and
under●
the
●●lling
Sky
,
if
you
'll
believe
the
wise
Mythologists
;
but
they
rais'd
it
some
half
an
inch
too
high
;
Atlas
to
entertain
his
Guest
Hercules
more
pleasantly
,
and
Hercu●es
to
make
himself
amends
for
the
thirst
which
sometime
before
had
tormented
him
in
the
Deserts
of
Africa
.
—
Your
good
Father
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
,
interrupting
him
,
takes
care
to
free
many
People
from
such
an
inconveniency
;
for
I
have
been
told
by
many
venerable
Doctors
,
that
his
chief
Butler
Turelupin
saves
above
eighteen
hundred
Pipes
of
Wine
yearly
,
to
make
Servants
and
all
comers
and
goers
drink
before
they
are
a
dry
.
—
As
the
Camels
and
Dromedaries
of
a
Caravan
,
continued
Pantagruel
,
use
to
drink
for
the
thirst
that
's
past
,
for
the
present
,
and
for
that
to
come
,
so
did
Hercules
;
and
being
thus
excessively
rais'd
,
this
gave
a
new
motion
to
the
Sky
,
which
is
that
of
Titubation
and
Tr●pidation
,
about
which
our
crack-brain'd
Astrologers
make
such
a
pother
.
—
This
,
said
Panurge
,
makes
the
saying
good
.
While
jolly
Companions
ca●r●use
it
together
,
A
fig
for
the
Storm
;
it
gives
way
to
good
Weather
.
Nay
,
continued
Pantagruel
,
some
will
tell
you
,
that
we
have
not
only
shortned
the
time
of
the
Calm
,
but
also
much
disburthen'd
the
Ship
,
not
like
Aesop's
Basket
,
by
easing
it
of
the
Provision
,
but
by
breaking
our
Fasts
,
and
that
a
Man
is
more
Terrestrial
and
heavy
when
fasting
,
than
when
he
has
eaten
and
drank
,
even
as
they
pretend
that
he
weighs
more
dead
than
living
.
However
't
is
,
you
'll
grant
they
are
in
the
right
,
who
take
their
Mornings
draught
,
and
Breakfast
before
a
long
Journey
,
then
say
that
the
Horses
will
perform
the
better
,
and
that
a
Spur
in
the
Head
,
is
worth
two
in
the
Flank
;
or
in
the
same
Horse
Dialect
,
That
a
Cup
in
the
Pats
Is
a
Mile
in
the
Gate
.
Don't
you
know
that
formerly
the
Amycleans
worshiped
the
Noble
Father
Bacchus
above
all
other
Gods
,
and
gave
him
the
Name
of
Psila
,
which
in
the
Dorick
Dialect
signifies
Wings
;
for
as
the
Birds
raise
themselves
by
a
towering
flight
with
their
Wings
above
the
Clouds
;
so
with
the
help
of
Soaring
Bacchus
,
the
powerful
juice
of
the
Grape
,
our
Spirits
are
exalted
to
a
pitch
above
themselves
,
our
Bodies
are
more
sprightly
,
and
their
Earthy
parts
become
soft
and
plyant
.

How
by
Pantagruel's
Order
the
Muses
were
saluted
near
the
Isle
of
Ganabim
.
THis
fair
wind
and
as
fine
talk
brought
us
in
sight
of
a
high
Land
,
which
Pantagruel
discovering
afar
off
,
shew'd
it
Xenomanes
,
and
ask'd
him
,
do
you
see
yonder
to
the
Leeward
a
high
Rock
with
two
tops
much
like
Mount
Parnassus
in
Phocis
?
I
do
plainly
,
answer'd
Xenomanes
,
't
is
the
Isle
of
Ganabim
;
have
you
a
mind
to
go
ashoar
there
?
No
,
return'd
Pantagruel
.
You
do
well
indeed
,
said
Xenomanes
,
for
there
is
nothing
worth
seeing
in
the
place
.
The
People
are
all
Thieves
;
yet
there
is
the
finest
Fountain
in
the
World
,
and
a
very
large
Forest
towards
the
right
top
of
the
Mountain
.
Your
Fleet
may
take
in
Wood
and
Water
there
.
He
that
spoke
last
spoke
well
,
quoth
Panurge
,
let
us
not
by
any
means
be
so
m●d
as
to
go
among
a
parcel
of
Thieves
and
Sharpers
.
You
may
take
my
word
〈◊〉
,
this
place
is
just
such
another
,
as
,
to
my
knowledge
,
formerly
were
the
Islands
of
Sark
and
Herm
between
the
smaller
and
the
greater
Britain
;
such
as
were
the
P●neropolis
of
Philip
in
Thrace
;
Islands
of
Thieves
,
Banditti
,
Picaroons
,
Robbers
,
Russians
,
and
Murtherers
,
worse
than
Raw
head
and
Bloody-bones
,
and
full
as
honest
as
the
Senior
Fellows
of
the
College
of
Iniquity
,
the
very
out-casts
of
the
County-Goal's
Common-side
.
As
you
love
your self
,
do
not
go
among
'em
;
if
you
go
,
you
'll
come
off
but
bluely
,
if
you
come
off
at
all
.
If
you
will
not
believe
me
,
at
least
believe
what
the
good
and
wise
Xenomanes
tells
you
:
For
may
I
never
stir
if
they
are
not
worse
than
the
very
Canibals
,
they
would
certainly
eat
us
alive
.
Do
not
go
among
'em
,
I
pray
you
,
't
were
safer
to
take
a
Journey
to
Hell
.
Hark
,
by
Cod's
Body
,
I
hear
'em
ringing
the
Allarm-Bellmost
dreadfully
,
as
the
Gascons
about
Bourdeaux
us'd
formerly
to
do
against
the
Commissaries
and
Officers
for
the
Tax
on
Salt
,
or
my
ears
tingle
.
Let
's
shear
off
.
Believe
me
,
Sir
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
,
let
's
rather
land
,
we
'll
rid
the
World
of
that
Vermin
,
and
inn
there
for
nothing
.
Old
Nick
go
with
thee
for
me
,
quoth
Panurge
.
This
rash
hair-brain'd
Devil
of
a
Fryar
fears
nothing
,
but
ventures
and
runs
on
like
a
mad
Devil
as
he
is
,
and
cares
not
a
Rush
what
becomes
of
others
;
as
if
every
one
was
a
Monk
like
his
Fryarship
;
a
pox
on
grinning
Honour
,
say
I.
Go
to
,
return'd
the
Fryar
,
thou
mangy
Noddy-peak
!
thou
forlorn
druggle-headed
Sneaksby
!
and
may
a
million
of
black
Devils
Anatomise
thy
Cockle
Brain
.
The
Hen-hearted
Rascal
is
so
cowardly
,
that
he
berays
himself
for
fear
every
day
.
If
thou
art
so
afraid
,
Dunghill
,
don't
go
,
stay
here
and
be
hang'd
,
or
go
and
hide
thy
Logger-head
under
Madam
Proserpine's
Petticoat
.
Panurge
hearing
this
,
his
Breech
began
to
make
Buttons
,
so
he
slunk
in
in
an
instant
,
and
went
to
hide
his
Head
down
in
the
Bread-room
among
the
musty
Bi●ctuis
,
and
the
Orts
,
and
scraps
of
broken
Bread
.
Pantagruel
in
the
mean
time
said
to
the
rest
,
I
feel
a
pressing
retraction
in
my
Soul
,
which
like
a
Voice
admonishes
me
not
to
land
there
.
Whenever
I
have
felt
such
a
motion
within
me
,
I
have
found
my self
happy
in
avoiding
what
it
directed
me
to
shun
,
or
in
undertaking
what
it
prompted
me
to
do
,
and
I
never
had
occasion
to
repent
following
its
Dictates
.
As
much
,
said
Epistemon
,
is
related
of
the
Daemon
of
Socrates
,
so
celebrated
among
the
Academics
.
Well
then
,
Sir
,
said
Fryar
Jhon
,
while
the
Ship
's
Crew
water
,
have
you
a
mind
to
have
good
sport
?
Panurge
is
got
down
somewhere
in
the
Hold
,
where
he
is
crept
into
some
corner
and
lurks
like
a
Mo●●●e
in
a
Cranny
;
let
'em
give
the
word
for
the
Gunner
to
fire
yon
Gun
over
the
Round-house
on
the
Poop
;
this
will
serve
to
salute
the
Muses
of
this
Antiparnassus
;
besides
,
the
Powder
does
but
decay
in
it
.
You
are
i'
th'
right
,
said
Pantagruel
;
here
,
give
the
word
for
the
Gunner
.
The
Gunner
immediately
came
,
and
was
order'd
by
Pantagruel
to
fire
that
Gun
,
and
then
charge
it
with
fresh
Powder
,
which
was
soon
done
;
the
Gunners
of
the
other
Ships
,
Frigats
,
Gallions
,
and
Gallies
of
the
Fleet
hearing
us
●i●e
,
gave
every
one
a
Gun
to
the
Island
;
which
made
such
a
horrid
noise
,
that
you
'd
have
sworn
Heav'n
had
been
tumbling
about
our
Ears
.

How
Panurge
beray'd
himself
for
fear
,
and
of
the
huge
Cat
Rodilardus
,
which
he
took
for
a
puny
Devil
.
PAnurge
like
a
wild
addle-pated
giddy
Goat
,
sal●ies
out
of
the
Bread
Room
in
his
Shirt
,
with
nothing
else
about
him
but
one
of
his
Stockins
,
half
on
half
off
,
about
his
Heel
,
like
a
rough-footed
Pigeon
,
his
Hair
and
Beard
all
be
powdered
with
Crums
of
Bread
,
in
which
he
had
been
over
Head
and
Ears
,
and
a
huge
and
mighty
Pusse
partly
wrapt
up
in
his
other
Stockin
.
In
this
Equipage
,
his
Chops
moving
like
a
Monkey's
who
's
a
Louse-hunting
,
his
Eyes
staring
like
a
dead
Pig
's
,
his
Teeth
chattering
,
and
his
Bum
quivering
,
the
poor
Dog
fled
to
Fryar
Jhon
,
who
was
then
sitting
by
the
Chain-Wales
of
the
Starboard-side
of
the
Ship
,
and
pray'd
him
heartily
to
take
pity
on
him
,
and
keep
him
in
the
safeguard
of
his
trusty
Bilbo
,
swearing
by
his
share
of
Papimany
,
that
he
had
seen
all
Hell
broke
loose
.
Woe
's
me
,
my
Jackee
(
cry'd
he
)
my
dear
Johny
,
my
old
Crony
,
my
Brother
,
my
Ghostly
Father
,
all
the
Devils
keep
Holy-day
,
all
the
Devils
keep
their
Feast
to
day
,
Man
;
Pork
and
Pease
choak
me
,
if
ever
thou
sawest
such
preparations
in
thy
life
for
an
Infernal
Feast
.
Dost
thou
see
the
smoke
of
Hell's
Kitchins
?
(
This
he
said
shewing
him
the
smoak
of
the
Gun-powder
above
the
Ships
)
thou
never
sawest
so
many
damn'd
Souls
since
thou
wast
born
;
and
so
fair
,
so
bewitching
they
seem
,
that
one
would
swear
they
are
Stygian
Ambrosia
.
I
thought
at
first
,
(
God
forgive
me
)
they
had
been
English
Souls
,
and
I
don't
know
but
that
this
morning
,
the
Isle
of
Horses
near
Scotland
was
sack'd
with
all
the
English
who
had
surpris'd
it
,
by
the
Lords
of
Termes
and
Essay
.
Fryar
Jhon
,
at
the
approach
of
Panurge
,
was
entertain'd
with
a
kind
of
smell
that
was
not
like
that
of
Gun-powder
,
nor
altogether
so
sweet
as
Musk
;
which
made
him
turn
Panurge
about
,
and
then
he
saw
that
his
Shirt
was
dismally
bepah'd
,
and
beray'd
with
fresh
Sir-reverence
.
The
retentive
faculty
of
the
Nerve
which
restrains
the
Muscle
call'd
Sphincter
(
't
is
the
Arse-hole
an
't
please
you
)
was
relaxated
by
the
violence
of
the
fear
which
he
had
been
in
during
his
fantastic
Visions
.
Add
to
this
the
thundering
noise
of
the
shooting
,
which
seems
more
dreadful
between
Decks
than
above
.
Nor
ought
you
to
wonder
at
such
a
mishap
,
for
one
of
the
Symptoms
and
Accidents
of
fear
is
,
that
it
often
opens
the
wicket
of
the
Cupboard
wherein
second-head-meat
is
kept
for
a
time
.
Let
's
illustrate
this
noble
Theme
with
some
Examples
.
Messer
Pantolfe
de
la
Cassina
of
Siena
,
riding
Post
from
Rome
,
came
to
Chamberry
,
and
alighting
at
honest
Vinet's
▪
took
one
of
the
Pitch-forks
in
the
Stable
,
then
turning
to
the
Inn-keeper
,
said
to
him
,
Da
Roma
in
qua
io
non
son
andato
del
Corpo
.
Di
gratia
piglia
in
mano
questa
forcha
,
&
fa
mi
paura
.
I
have
not
had
a
Stool
since
I
left
Rome
,
I
pray
thee
take
this
Pitch
fork
and
fright
me
.
Vinet
took
it
,
and
made
several
offers
,
as
if
he
would
in
good
earnest
have
hit
the
Signor
;
but
all
in
vain
,
so
the
Sienese
said
to
him
,
Si
tu
non
fai
altramente
,
tu
non
fai
nulla
:
Pero
sforzati
di
ad
operarli
piu
guagliardamente
;
If
thou
dost
not
go
another
way
to
work
,
thou
hadst
as
good
do
nothing
;
therefore
try
to
bestir
thy self
more
briskly
.
With
this
,
Vinet
lent
him
such
a
swinging
stoater
with
the
Pitch-fork
sowce
betwen
the
Neck
and
the
Collar
of
his
Jerkin
,
that
down
fell
Signore
on
the
ground
Arsy-versy
with
his
spindle
shanks
wide
straggling
over
his
Pole
.
Then
mine
Host
sputtering
,
with
a
full-mouth'd
laugh
,
said
to
his
Guest
,
by
Belzebub's
Bum-gut
,
much
good
may
do
you
,
Signore
Italiano
take
notice
this
is
Datum
Camberiaci
,
given
at
Chamberry
.
'T
was
well
the
Sienese
had
untruss'd
his
Points
and
let
down
his
Drawers
;
for
this
Physick
work'd
with
him
as
soon
as
he
took
it
,
and
as
copious
was
the
evacuation
,
as
that
of
nine
Buff●loes
and
fourteen
missificating
Arch-lubbers
.
Which
Operation
being
over
,
the
mannerly
Sienese
courteously
gave
mine
Host
a
whole
bushel
of
thanks
,
saying
to
him
,
Io

I
thank
thee
good
Landlord
,
by
this
thou
hast
'
een
sav'd
me
the
expence
of
a
Clyster
.
I
'll
give
you
another
Example
of
Edward
the
Fifth
King
of
England
.
Master
Francis
Villon
being
banish'd
France
,
fled
to
him
,
and
got
so
far
into
his
Favour
as
to
be
Privy
to
all
his
Houshold
Affairs
.
One
day
the
King
being
on
his
Close
stool
show'd
Villon
the
Arms
of
France
,
and
said
to
him
,
dost
thou
see
what
respect
I
have
for
thy
French
Kings
?
I
have
none
of
their
Arms
any
where
but
in
this
Back-side
near
my
Close-stool
.
O●'s
Life
,
said
the
Buffoon
,
how
Wise
,
Prudent
and
careful
of
your
Health
,
your
Highness
is
!
How
carefully
your
Learned
Doctor
Thomas
Linacer
looks
after
you
!
He
saw
that
,
now
you
grow
old
,
you
are
inclin'd
to
be
somewhat
Costive
,
and
every
day
were
fain
to
have
an
Apothecary
,
I
mean
a
Suppository
or
Clyster
thrust
into
Royal
Nockandro
,
so
he
has
,
much
to
the
purpose
,
induc'd
you
to
place
here
the
Arms
of
France
;
for
the
very
sight
of
them
puts
you
into
such
a
dreadful
Fright
,
that
you
immediately
let
fly
,
as
much
as
would
come
from
Eighteen
squattering
Bonasi
of
Peonia
:
and
if
they
were
painted
in
other
Parts
of
your
house
,
by
Jingo
,
you
would
presently
conskite
your self
wherever
you
saw
them
:
Nay
,
had
you
but
here
a
Picture
of
the
great
Oriflamb
of
France
,
Ods-bodikins
,
your
Tripes
and
Bowels
would
be
in
no
small
Danger
of
dropping
out
at
the
Orifice
of
your
Posteriors
.

But
henh
,
henh
,
atque
iterum
henh
.
A
silly
Cockney
am
I
not
?
As
ever
did
from
Paris
come
;
And
with
a
Rope
and
sliding
knot
My
Neck
shall
know
what
weighs
my
Bum.
A
Cockney
of
short
reach
,
I
say
,
shallow
of
Judgment
,
and
judging
shallowly
to
wonder
,
that
you
should
cause
your
Points
to
be
untrussed
in
your
Chamber
before
you
came
into
this
Closet
;
by'r
Lady
at
first
I
thought
your
Close-stool
had
stood
behind
the
Hangings
,
or
your
Bed
,
otherwise
it
seem'd
very
odd
to
me
you
should
untruss
so
far
from
the
place
of
Evacuation
.
But
now
I
find
I
was
a
Gull
,
a
Wittal
,
a
Woodcock
,
a
meer
Ninny
,
a
Jolt-●●●d

a
Noddy

You
do
wisely
,
by
the
Mass
,
you
do
wisely
;
for
had
not
you
been
ready
to
clap
your
hind
Face
on
the
Mustard-Pot
as
soon
as
you
came
within
sight
of
these
Arms
,
mark
ye
me
,
Cop's
Body
,
the
bottom
of
your
Breeches
had
supply'd
the
Office
of
a
Close-stool
.
Fryar
Ihon
stopping
the
handle
of
his
Face
with
his
Left
hand
,
did
,
with
the
Fore-finger
of
the
Right
,
point
out
Panurge's
shirt
to
Pantagruel
;
who
,
seeing
him
in
this
Pickle
,
scar'd
,
appall'd
,
shivering
,
raving
,
staring
,
beray'd
,
and
torn
with
the
Claws
of
the
famous
Cat
Rodilardus
,
could
not
chuse
but
Laugh
,
and
said
to
him
,
Pry'thee
what
wouldst
thou
do
with
this
Cat
?
With
this
Cat
,
quoth
Panurge
,
the
Devil
scratch
me
,
if
I
did
not
think
it
had
been
a
young
Soft-chin'd
Devil
,
which
,
with
this
same
Stockin
instead
of
Mittain
,
I
had
snatch'd
up
in
the
great
Hutch
of
Hell
,
as
Thievishly
as
any
Sizar
of
Montague
Colledge
could
ha'
done
.
The
Devil
take
Tybert
,
I
feel
it
has
all
bepink'd
my
poor
hide
,
and
drawn
on
it
to
the
Life
I
don't
know
how
many
Lobster's
Whiskers
:
with
this
he
threw
his
Boar-Cat
down
.
Go
,
go
,
said
Pantagruel
,
be
bath'd
and
clean'd
,
calm
your
Fears
,
put
on
a
clean
Shirt
,
and
then
your
Cloaths
?
What!
do
you
think
I
am
afraid
,
cry'd
Panurge
?
Not
I
,
I
protest
;
by
the
Testic●es
of
Hercules
,
I
am
more
hearty
and
stout
,
tho'
I
say
it
that
should
not
,
than
if
I
had
●●all●wed
as
many
Flyes
as
are
put
into
plumb
Cakes
,
and
other
Paste
at
Paris
,
from
Midsummer
to
Christmas
.
—
But
what
's
this
?
hah
!
oh
,
ho
,
how
the
Devil
came
I
by
this
