From
Windsor
.
ABout
some
few
dayes
past
there
were
some
five
Cavaliers
that
came
into
Windsor
Forest
to
kill
some
of
his
Majesties
Deer
,
and
having
gained
a
fit
stand
,
took
the
oportunity
of
the
next
approaching
Ga●●e
,
which
were
two
lovely
Stagges
,
the
Cavalier
that
was
to
shoot
indeavoured
so
to
place
them
in
his
eye
,
that
he
might
send
a
mortall
wound
to
them
both
,
and
having
shot
like
a
good
markes
man
,
made
good
his
determination
,
upon
the
discharge
,
the
rest
of
the
company
came
in
with
chearfull
countenances
to
the
fall
of
the
Deer
,
endeavouring
with
all
celerity
to
carry
these
Stagges
away
without
a
discovery
,
but
their
care
and
industry
could
not
prevent
their
ensuing
danger
,
the
Foresters
having
●eard
the
report
of
the
Piece
hasted
to
the
place
from
whence
the
sound
came
,
where
they
found
these
Cavaliers
busie
about
their
stollen
pleasures
,
the
Foresters
being
all
well
armed
martialled
themselves
in
in
such
aray
as
they
might
best
encounter
with
these
Cavaliers
that
had
been
the
destruction
of
their
game
,
no
sooner
had
they
observed
the
approaching
danger
,
by
way
of
Fortification
each
Gentleman
placed
his
Horse
before
him
as
a
Bulwarke
to
defend
their
Bodies
,
and
having
laid
their
Pieces
upon
their
Horses
,
gave
fire
and
sent
a
volley
of
shot
amongst
the
Foresters
,
the
sight
was
for
a
while
very
hot
,
yet
with
little
losse
of
blood
,
but
the
continuance
of
it
made
the
Cavaliers
spend
most
of
their
shot
and
powder
,
one
of
them
flying
was
pursued
by
a
Forester
,
and
forced
to
deliver
his
Armes
,
the
rest
of
the
Gentlemen
upon
a
fair
treaty
had
liberty
to
depart
,
leaving
behinde
them
their
Stagges
.
Much
troubled
were
they
at
the
consideration
of
their
ill
fortunes
,
and
thereupon
entred
into
a
deep
consultation
how
they
might
be
revenged
on
the
Foresters
,
having
laid
their
Plot
,
their
next
thoughts
were
the
putting
of
it
in
execution
,
in
the
first
place
they
made
inquiry
for
the
Forester
that
had
seised
on
the
Gun
,
and
being
advertised
that
he
was
at
a
neighbouring
Alehouse
,
they
entred
the
house
,
seised
on
the
Keeper
,
each
man
laying
hold
upon
a
part
of
him
,
insomuch
as
the
miserable
Keeper
thought
his
limbes
should
be
torne
from
his
body
,
having
haled
him
up
and
down
,
and
putting
him
into
a
pitifull
fright
,
they
would
not
free
him
from
the
punishment
they
intended
,
till
he
had
paid
whatsoever
expences
they
should
then
be
at
,
and
returne
them
their
Gun
with
one
of
their
Stagges
,
so
much
was
the
poor
Forester
tormented
,
that
he
willingly
condiscended
to
their
desires
after
they
had
received
their
Stagge
,
and
taken
the
benefit
of
his
sees
,
they
departed
each
man
to
his
severall
habitation
,
where
they
feasted
themselves
with
fat
Venison
,
not
long
after
one
of
the
Cavaliers
were
taken
and
awarded
to
go
to
prison
,
but
so
well
was
he
beloved
of
the
Female
sex
,
that
thirty
Amazonian
spirits
rescued
the
Prisoner
,
the
conductors
presently
fled
from
the
fury
of
these
malignant
spirits
,
the
prisoner
presently
hasted
to
some
place
of
safety
,
and
though
the
Sheriffe
of
the
same
County
was
then
present
,
and
gave
order
to
a
Trained
Band
that
was
then
in
readinesse
to
stay
him
,
yet
such
was
his
nimblenesse
,
that
hee
passed
through
the
severall
rankes
of
the
Souldiers
and
escaped
.
Such
was
the
activenes
that
the
by-standers
imagined
he
had
long
conversed
amongst
those
wilde
creatures
of
the
Forest
,
and
that
he
was
transformed
into
the
nature
of
them
.
It
were
to
be
wished
,
that
such
Cavaliers
as
these
that
will
not
be
kept
within
the
compasse
of
the
Law
might
suddenly
feel
the
scourge
thereof
,
lest
these
extravagant
courses
makes
others
(
that
are
better
minded
)
follow
their
bad
examples
,
and
pillage
houses
.
From
Bath
.
THe
Inhabitants
of
the
Citie
of
Bath
expresse
their
great
greifes
in
that
they
have
had
little
Company
this
Summer
,
they
fear
that
their
chief
●enefactours
bends
towards
the
North
,
and
that
cold
Climate
makes
them
thinke
the
lesse
of
Bathing
,
for
having
had
recourse
to
the
waters
of
Knavesborough
their
heat
is
allayed
,
the
poor
Guides
are
now
necessitated
to
guide
one
another
from
the
Alehouse
,
least
they
should
loose
their
practise
,
the
Ladies
that
are
there
are
fallen
into
a
Lethargie
for
want
of
stirring
Cavaliers
to
keep
them
awake
,
were
it
not
for
these
Nymphes
the
waters
would
lose
their
vertue
,
Pluto's
cauldron
had
never
lesse
purboyled
flesh
in
it
to
please
the
palate
of
his
Courtiers
,
the
poor
Fidlers
are
ready
to
hang
themselves
in
their
stringes
for
a
pastime
,
for
want
of
other
imployments
.
