For, once going y%5t%6 way, 004.C09.017 Therfore I sufferd this. Towards me did runne 004.C09.018 A thing more strang then on Niles slimes y%5e%6 Sunne 004.C09.019 Ere' bredd, or all which into Noes arke came, 004.C09.020 A thing which would haue pos'd Adam to name; 004.C09.021 Stranger then seauen Antiquaries Studies 004.C09.022 Then Affrickes monsters, Guyana's rarities, 004.C09.023 Stranger then strangers, One who for a Dane 004.C09.024 In the Danes massacre had sure beene slaine, 004.C09.025 If he had liu'd then, & without helpe dyes 004.C09.026 When next the Prentises 'gainst strangers rise. 004.C09.027 One whom the watch at noone letts sacrce go bye 004.C09.028 One to whom th'examining Iustice sure would cry 004.C09.029 S%5r%6 by your Preisthood tell me what you are. [CW:om] 004.C09.030 His clothes were strange, though course; & blacke, though bare; [f.16v] 004.C09.031 Sleeuelesse his Ierkin was, & it had beene 004.C09.032 Veluet, but twas now (so much ground was seene) 004.C09.033 Tuftaffata become & our children shall 004.C09.034 See it plaine r%Y*%Z%5>a<%6sh a while, then nought at all. 004.C09.035 The thinge hath travayld, &, saith, speakes all tongues 004.C09.036 And only knowes to all states what belonges. 004.C09.037 Made of the accents & best phrase of these 004.C09.038 He speakes one language. If strange meats displease 004.C09.039 Art can deceaue, or hunger force my tast, 004.C09.040 But Pedants mothy[sic] tongues, Soldiers bumbast, 004.C09.041 Mountebanke drugg-tongue, nor the termes of law 004.C09.042 Are strong p%5r%6paratiues enough to draw 004.C09.043 Me to beare this: yet I must be content 004.C09.044 With his tongue in his tongue calld Complement. 004.C09.045 In which he can winne widdowes & pay scores, 004.C09.046 Make men speake treason, couzen subtilst whoores 004.C09.047 Outflatter fauourites, & out-lye either 004.C09.048 Iovius or Sleydan or both together. 004.C09.049 He names me & comes to me. I whisper, God! 004.C09.050 How haue I sin'd that thy wraths furious rod 004.C09.051 This fellow, chooseth me? He saith, Sir, 004.C09.052 I loue your iudgment; whom doe you preferre 004.C09.053 For the best linguist, & I sillilye 004.C09.054 Said that I thought Calepines Dictionary. 004.C09.055 Nay but of men, most sweet S%5r%6. Beza, then, 004.C09.056 Some Jesuits & two most reuerend men 004.C09.057 of our two Academies I nam'd. There 004.C09.058 He stopt me & said. Nay your apostles were 004.C09.059 Pretty good linguists, so Panurgus was 004.C09.060 But a poore Gentleman all these may passe [CW:>>by tra:<<] 004.C09.061 By travell. Then as if he would haue sold [f.17r] 004.C09.062 His tongue, he praisd it & such wonders told 004.C09.063 That I was faine to say, If you had liu'd S%5r%6 004.C09.064 Time enough to haue beene interp%5r%6ter 004.C09.065 To Babells bricklayers, the tower had stood. 004.C09.066 He adds, if of Courtlife you knew the good 004.C09.067 You would leaue lone-nesse. I sayd, not alone 004.C09.068 My lone-nesse is. But Spartans fashion 004.C09.069 To teach by painting drunkards doth not tast 004.C09.070 Now Aretines Pictures haue made few chast, 004.C09.071 No more can Princes courtes (though therebe few 004.C09.072 Better pictures of vice) teach me virtew. 004.C09.073 He like to a high stretcht Lutestring squeaks, O, Sir, 004.C09.074 Tis sweet to talke of kinges. In Westminster 004.C09.075 (said I) the man that keepes the Abby Tombes 004.C09.076 And for his price doth with whoeuer comes 004.C09.077 Of all our Harryes & our Edwards talke 004.C09.078 From king to king, & all their kinne can walke 004.C09.079 Your eares shall heare nought but king, your eyes meet 004.C09.080 Kinges only, the way to it is kings-street. 004.C09.081 He smack'd & cry'd, Hees base, mechanick, course, 004.C09.082 So are your Englishmen in their discourse. 004.C09.083 Are not your Frenchmen neate? Mine? As you see 004.C09.084 I haue but one, S%5r%6, looke he followes me. 004.C09.085 Certes th'are neatly cloth'd: I of this mind am 004.C09.086 your only wearing is this Grogeram. 004.C09.087 Not so, S%5r%6, I haue more. Vnder this pitch 004.C09.088 He would not fly. I chas'd[sic] him: But as itch 004.C09.089 Scratcht into smart, & as blunt iron ground 004.C09.090 Into an edge hurtes worse, so I (foole) found [CW:om] 004.C09.091 >%Y%5Crosing%6%Z%Y**%Z>that<<] 004.C09.123 That offices are entayl'd, & that there are [f.18] 004.C09.124 Perpetuities of them lasting as farre 004.C09.125 As the last day; and that great Officers 004.C09.126 Doe with the Pirates share & Dunkerkers. 004.C09.127 Who wastes in cloathes, in meate, in horse, he notes, 004.C09.128 Who loueth whoores, who boyes & who loue[sic] Goates. 004.C09.129 I, more amaz'd then Circes prisoners, when 004.C09.130 They felt themselues turne beasts, felt my selfe then 004.C09.131 Becom%Ming Traytor, & me thought I saw 004.C09.132 One of our Gyant-statutes ope his Iaw 004.C09.133 To suck me in for hearing him. I found 004.C09.134 That as burnt-venom'd leachers do grow sound 004.C09.135 By giuing others their sores, I might grow 004.C09.136 Guilty, & Hee free, Therfore I did show 004.C09.137 All signes of loathing: But since I am in 004.C09.138 I must pay mine, & my forefathers sin 004.C09.139 To the last farthing. Therfore to my power 004.C09.140 Toughly & stubbornely I beare my[var:>%5this%6<] crosse. But the howre 004.C09.141 Of mercy now was come: Hee tries to bring 004.C09.142 Me to a fine to scape his torturing, 004.C09.143 And sayes, S%5r%6 can you spare me; I said, willingly 004.C09.144 Nay, S%5r%6 can you spare me a Crowne. Thankfully I 004.C09.145 Gaue it as a ransom. But as fidlars still 004.C09.146 Though they be payd to be gon, yet needs will 004.C09.147 Thrust one more Iigg vpon you; so did Hee 004.C09.148 With his long complementall thanks vex me. 004.C09.149 But he is gon: thankes to his needy want 004.C09.150 And the prerogatiue of my Crowne. Scant 004.C09.151 His thankes were ended, when I which did see 004.C09.152 All the Court filld with more strange thinges then Hee [CW:om] 004.C09.153 Ranne from thence with such or more hast then one [f.18v] 004.C09.154 Who feares more Actions makes from prison. 004.C09.155 At home in wholsome solitarinesse 004.C09.156 My piteous soule began the wretchednesse 004.C09.157 Of suitors at Court to mourne| & a Trance 004.C09.158 (Like his who dreamt he saw Hell) did aduance 004.C09.159 Itselfe o're me, & such men as he saw there 004.C09.160 I saw at Court, & worse, & more. Low feare 004.C09.161 Becomes the guilty not th'accuser; Then 004.C09.162 Shall I, none's slaue, of highborne or rays'd men 004.C09.163 Feare frownes, and my Mistrisse Truth betray Thee 004.C09.164 To th'huffing braggart puft Nobilitie? 004.C09.165 No no. Thou, which since yesterday hast beene 004.C09.166 Almost about y%5e%6 whole world, hast thou seene 004.C09.167 (O Sunne) in all thy iourney, vanity 004.C09.168 Such as swells the bladdar of o%5r%6 Court? I 004.C09.169 Thinke, Hee which made [sic]yond waxen garden, and 004.C09.170 Transplanted it from Italy, to stand 004.C09.171 With vs at London, floutes our Courtiers; for 004.C09.172 >%YSuch%Z>at stage<<] 004.C09.185 At Stage, as Court: all are Playes; who er'e lookes [f.19] 004.C09.186 (for they themselues dare not) in Cheapside bookes 004.C09.187 Shall find their wardrobes inuentorye. Now 004.C09.188 The Ladyes come. As Pyrates, which %Jdid%K[M:>|did<] know 004.C09.189 That there came weake shippes fraught with Cochenele 004.C09.190 The men board them, & praise (as they thinke, well) 004.C09.191 Their beauties, They the mens witts. Both are bought. 004.C09.192 Why good witts ne're weare scarlett gownes, I thought 004.C09.193 This Cause. Those men mens witts, for speeches, buy, 004.C09.194 And women buy all redds which scarlett dye. 004.C09.195 Hee calls her beauties Lime twiggs, her hayre, nett; 004.C09.196 Shee feares her druggs ill layd, her hayre loose sett. 004.C09.197 Would not Heraclitus laugh to see Macrine 004.C09.198 %JFrott%>>From<%K[M:>|from<] hatt to shoe himselfe at doore refine, 004.C09.199 (As [sic]the Presence were a Meschite) & lift 004.C09.200 His skirts & hose, & call his clothes to shrift 004.C09.201 Making them confesse [%1bleedthrough%2]t only mortall 004.C09.202 Great staines & holes in them, but veniall 004.C09.203 Feathers & dust with which they fornicate 004.C09.204 And, then, by Durers rules, survey the state 004.C09.205 Of his each Limbe, & with strings the ods tries 004.C09.206 Of his neck to his legge, & wast to thighs, 004.C09.207 So in immaculate clothes & symmetrie 004.C09.208 Perfect as Circles, with such nicitye 004.C09.209 As a yong preacher at the first time goes 004.C09.210 To preach, he enters, & a Lady which owes 004.C09.211 Him not so much as goodwill, straight arrests 004.C09.212 And vnto her protests, protests, protests, 004.C09.213 So much as at Rome would serue to haue throwne 004.C09.214 Ten Cardinalls into the Inquisition [CW:om] 004.C09.215 And whispers by Iesu so often y%5t%6 a [f.19v] 004.C09.216 %JPurseuant%K[Mvar:>|Topcliff<] would have rauisht him quite away 004.C09.217 For saying Iesus Psalter.
