For sithe mine entent is good, & my +good wil not small I dare at this present yelde it to thy curtesye. Fare +wel. + +¶ Thine in will (though not in power) E.H. + + * * * * * + +_Diuersoria._ + +¶ The speakers. + +_Bertulphe._ _William._ + +Why haue men taken suche pleasure and felicity (I pray you) in tariynge ii. +or iii. dayes at Lions together, when they trauaile through the contrey? if +I fall to trauailinge once, be fore suche time as I be come vnto my +iourneyes ende, me thinks I am neuer at quiet in my mind. + +William. + +¶ Say ye so indeede? And I put you out of doubt, I wonder howe men can bee +withdrawen thence againe after they be once come thether. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Yea doe? And how so I pray you? + +William. + +¶ Mary sir because that is the verye place from whence Ulisses companions +coulde in no wise be gotten by perswasion. There are the sweet Mermaides +(that are spoken of) I warrant ye. Assuredlie, no man is better vsed at +home at his own house then a guest is entertained there in a common Inne. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Why? What is their order and vsage there? + +William. + +¶ Some woman or other did alwayes attende vpon the table to cheere the +company with pleasaunt talke and prety conceites. And I tell you the women +are meruailous bewtiful and wel fauoured there. Firste of all the good wife +of the house came & welcomed vs, praying vs all there to bee merye, and to +take well in woorthe suche poore cheere as shee hadde prouided: when shee +was gone, in commeth her Daughter (beeinge a verye proper woman) and tooke +her roome: also whose behauioure and tongue were so pleasaunt and +delectable, that she was able to make euen the grimme Sire Cato to bee +merye and laugh, and besyde that they doe not talke wyth theyr guestes as +with men whome they neuer sawe before, but euen so famylyarlye and +freendlye, as if they were menne that were of their olde acquaintaunce. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Yea, thys is the ciuilytye of Fraunce in deede. + +William. + +¶ And because the Mother and the Daughter coulde not bee alwayes in the +waye (for that they muste goe aboute theyr houssholde businesse, and +welcome their other guestes in other places) a pretye little minion Girle +stode forthe there by and by (hauinge learned her liripuppe and lesson +alreadye in all pointes I warraunte you) to make all the pastime that +mighte be possible, and to aunswere (at omnia quare) all such as shoulde be +busye to talke and dally with her, So shee didde prolonge or vpholde the +Enterlude, till the goodwifes Daughter came vnto vs againe. For as for the +mother she was somewhat striken in yeres. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Yea but tell vs what good cheere yee had there (I praye you) for a manne +cannot fill his bellye with pleasaunte talke you knowe well inoughe. + +William. + +¶ I promise you faithfullye wee had notable good chere there, in so much +that I wonder how they can entertaine their guestes so good cheape as they +doe. And then when our table was tak[~e] vp, they fedde oure mindes wyth +their merye deuises, leaste wee shoulde thinke the time werysome. Me +thought I was euen at home at mine owne house, and not a trauayler abroade +in a straunge co[~u]try. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ And what was the facion in your bed chambers there? + +William. + +¶ Why? some wenches went in euerye corner giggelinge there, playing the +wantons, and dalying with vs, of their owne motion they would aske whether +we had any foule gere to washe or no. That they washed and brought vs +cleane againe, what should I make a longe proces or circumstance, we sawe +nothinge els there but wenches and wemen sauinge in the stable. And yet +many times they would fetche their vagaries in thether also. When the +guestes be going awaye, they embrace them, and take their leaue sweetlye +with suche kindnes and curtesye, as if they were all brethern, or (at +least) nighe a kinne the one to the other. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ This behauiour doth well beseme Frenchmen peraduenture, how be it the +fashions of Duche lande[1] shall go for my monye when all is done, which +are altogether manlike. + +William. + +¶ Yt was neuer my chaunce to see the Contreye yet: and therfore I pray you +take so muche paine as to tell in what sorte they entertaine a straunger +with them. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ I am not sure whether it be so in euerye place or no, but I will not +sticke to reherse that whiche I haue sene with mine owne eyes. There no man +biddeth him welcome that comes, lest they shuld seme to go about to procure +a guest. And that of all sauces, they accompt a dishonest and beggarly +thing, and vnmete for their demurenes & grauetie. After you haue stoode +cryinge oute at the doore a good while, at the length some one or other +pereth out his hed at the stoue[2] window like as a snaile should pepe out +of his shell: for they liue ther in stoues, til the somer be almoste in the +Tropick of Cancer. Then must you aske of him, whether you may haue a +lodging there or no? yf he do not geue a contrary beck with his hed, you +may perceiue, that you shall haue entertainment. To those whiche aske where +aboutes the stable standes, he pointes vnto it with the wagging of his +hand. There maye you vse youre horse after your own diet, for no seruaunt +of the house shall once lay handes vnto it to help you. But if it bee an +Inne some what occupied or haunted, th[~e] the seruaunt sheweth there which +is the stable, & telleth you also a place where your horse shal stãd, full +vnhansomely for that purpose god knoweth for they reserue the better romes +for the after commers, specially for the noble men, yf you finde any fault +with any thinge, by an by they snub you with this: Sir, if mine Inne please +you not, goe seeke an other elsewhere in the name of god in cities, it is +longe ere they wil bring you hay forthe for your horse, and when they do +bring it, it is after a niuer facion[3] I warraunt you, and yet will they +aske asmuch mony of you for it (in a maner) as if it were Otes. After your +horse is once dressed you come with all your cariage into the stoue with +Bootes, Male, or Packe, and with Dirte, Bag and Baggage and all. Euery man +is vsed to this generally. + +William. + +¶ In Fraunce they haue certaine chaumbers for the nonce, where guests may +put of their clothes may wipe or make clean th[~e] selues, may warme them +selues: yea may take their ease to, if they bee so disposed. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Yea, but here is no suche facions I tel you. In the stoue, you pul of +youre Bootes, you pull on youre Shooes, you chaunge youre Shirt if you bee +so minded, you hange vp youre clothes all weate, with raine harde by the +Chimney, and to make youre selfe drye doe stande by the same your selfe, +you haue also water sette readye for your handes, which moste commonly is +so clenlye, that you muste after seeke other water, to washe of that water +againe. + +William. + +¶ I commende them as menne not corrupted with to much finenesse or +daintinesse. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Thoughe it be youre chaunce to come thether about iiii. of the clocke at +afternoone, yet shall you not go to supper for all that vntill it be nine +of the clocke at night, and sometime not before tenne. + +William. + +¶ How so? + +Bertulphe. + +¶ They make nothinge ready til they see all their guestes come in, that +they may serue them all vnder one without more adoe. + +William. + +¶ These men seeke the neerest way to woorke, I see wel. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ You say true in deede: They doe so, and therfore often times there come +all into one Stooue, lxxx. or xC. Footemen, Horsemen, Marchauntmen, +Mariners, Carters, Plowemen, Children, Wemen, hole and sicke. + +William. + +¶ Marye this is a communitye of lyfe in deede. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ One kembes his head there. An other doth rubbe of his sweat there. An +other maketh cleane his startops[4] or bootes there. An other belcks out +hys Garlicke there. What needes manye wordes? There is as muche mingle +mangle of parsons there, as was in the old time at the Towre of Babell. And +if they chaunce to see a straunger amonge them, whiche in his apparell +semeth somewhat braue, galaunt and gentlemanlike, they all stand prying +vpon him with their eyes, gasing and gapinge as if some straunge beaste +were brought them out of Aphrick, in so much as after they are once set, +they be eye him stil an end and neuer looke of, as men forgetting th[~e] +selues that they be now at supper. + +William. + +¶ At Rome, at Parise, and at Venice, no mã maketh any such wonderment at +all. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Nowe it is a sore matter I tell you to call for ought there al this +while: when it is farre night and they looke for no more guestes at that +time, then commeth forthe an olde stager of the house, with a gray beard, a +polled hed, a frowning co[~u]tenaunce, clad in il fauored apparaile. + +William. + +¶ Yea mary suche fellowes as these you speak of, should fill the Cardinals +cups at Rome. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ He casting his eyes about, reckeneth vnto him selfe howe manye therebe in +the stoue at all, the moe he seeth there, the greater he maketh his fire, +though the sonne beside doth greatly annoy with his perching heat. Among +them, this is accoumpted the principallest pointe of good entertainment, if +they all sweat like Bulles, that they doe euen drop again. But if one not +vsed to this choking and smotheringe ayre, should chaunce to open but a +chinke of the window to keepe him self from stifeling, he should by and by +haue this saied vnto him: Shut it I pray you, if you aunswere that you +canne not abide it, ye haue this in your nose for your labor, why? then go +seeke you an other Inne, on gods name. + +William. + +¶ But me thinkes there can be no greater daunger for health, then that so +many should drawe in and out all one vapour: specially when the body is in +a sweat, and in this same place to eat meate together, and to tarye +together a great while in company, for now I wil not speak of belchinges +that sauour of garlick, nor of fistinge, or fisseling[5] nor of stinking +breths, many there be (I tel you) that haue priuy diseases, and euery +desease hath his proper infection. And surely the moste of th[~e] haue the +spanishe scabbe, or as some terme it the frenche pockes: thoughe now adaies +one nation hathe it commonlye asmuche as an other. I suppose (I tel you) +that there is as great ieobardye in companyinge with these as it is with +lepers, and nowe gesse you howe muche difference is betwene this and the +pestilence? + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Tushe man they bee stoute fellowes: they doe scorne theise thinges, and +make as it were no accompt of them. + +William. + +¶ But yet they are stout with hazardinge of many a mannes helth I tell you +plainely. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Why? What should a man do? They haue thus vsed them selues euermore, and +it is a token of constancy and stabilitie neuer to varye or geue ouer that +whiche they haue once taken in hand. + +William. + +¶ But aboue twentye yeeres agone, there was nothinge more vsed amonge the +Brabanders, then the common Bathes. And now adaies, the same are laied a +side euery where: for this stra[~u]g scabbe (I speake of) hathe taught men +to come no more thether. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ But go toe? Harken to the rest of my tale that is behind. That grim +bearded Ganimede coms to vs afterwardes againe, and layeth as many tables +as he then thinkes will serue for the nomber of his guestes, But Lord, what +baggage are the table clothes? if you saw them I dare say you would think +them h[~e]pen cloths, that are taken from the sailes of ships: they be so +course, for he hath apointed that viii. guests shall sit at one table at +the least. Nowe those that are acquainted with the facion of the country, +doe sit downe euery man, where he listeth him selfe, for there is no +diuersitie or cursye I tell you there, betweene the poore man and the +riche, betweene the Master and his seruaunt. They are all one. One as good +as an other, there is heere (as they say) no difference betwene the +shepherd and his dog. + +William. + +¶ Yea marye: this is the olde facion when all is done, that Tiranny hath +now abolished and put away from amõg vs: I think Christ liued iump[6] after +this maner on the earth when he was here conuersaunt with his Apostles. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ After they be all set, in commeth the frowning minion againe, and once +more falleth to recken what company he hathe there: by and by retourning he +layeth euery one a trenchar, and a spone of the same siluer: and then after +that, hee setteth downe a drinkinge glasse and within a while bringes in +bread which euery manne (at leysure) chippeth and pareth for him selfe, +whiles the potage is a sethinge. They sit mopinge after thys manner, +otherwhiles a whole houre together, ere they can get any thinge to eate. + +William. + +¶ Why? Doe none of the guestes call earnestlye vpon them to haue in the +Supper all this while? + +Bertulphe. + +¶ No, none of them all that knowes the Facion of the countrye. At the laste +they are serued with Wyne: but youe woulde wonder to see what small geare +it is, Scoolemen or Sophisters shoulde drinke none other by myne aduise, +because it is so thinne and tarte: how bee it if a guest shoulde chaunce +(beside his shotte) to offer Monye to one, and desyre him to gette some +better Wyne thenne that some other where, because he lykes it not: they +firste make as though they hearde him not: but yet they bee eye hym with +suche a bigge an frowning countenaunce as if the Deuyl should loke ouer +LINCOLN (as they doe saye) If you will not linne[7] callinge vppon them, +thenne they make youe this aunswere. So many EARLES and MARQUESES, haue +lodged here in our house, & yet the time is yet to come, that euer they +founde any fault with our wine. And therefore if ye fancy it not, get ye +packing in the name of God, and seeke an other Inne where ye liste. For +they accompt great men and noble men for men onely in their contrye I tell +you, setting their armes abroade in euery corner of their house for a +shewe. Now by this time they are serued with a soupe, to alay and pacify +their pore hongry and crookling stomackes, well nigh loste for meat, hard +at the heeles of that comes forthe the dishes with greate ceremonie, pompe +or solemnitie. For the firste course they haue soppes or slices of bread, +soaked in fleshe brothe, or if it be a fishe day, in the broth of pulce. +Then nexte they haue an other brothe: and after that they are serued wyth +fleshe twise sod[8], or fishe twise het. And yet, after this, they haue +potage once againe, immediatly after, they haue some stiffer meate til +suche time as they world beinge well amended with them, they set roste on +the table, or sodde[8] freshe fishe, whiche a man can not all together +mislike. But when it comes to that once they make spare and whip it away at +a sodaine I warraunt you, they facion out euery thinge in his dew time & +place. And as the players of Enterludes or comedies, are wonte in their +Scenes, to entermedle theyr Chories, so doe these Duche men serue forthe to +their guests, Soppes and Potage enterchañgeably or by course. But they +prouide that the latter inde of the feast be best furnished. + +William. + +¶ And this (I tell you) is the poynte of a good Poet. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Besides this it were a sore offence for one all this while to say: Away +with this dishe, no man doth eat of it, here you must sit out your time +appointed, being so euen and iumpe, that I thinke they measure it oute by +some water clockes. At l[~e]gth that bearded Grimson[9] comes forth againe +or els the Inholder him selfe, litle or nothing differing from his +seruauntes in his apparaile and brauery. He asketh what cheere is with vs: +by & by some stronger wine is brought, and they caste a great loue to him +that drinketh lustely: wheras he payes no more money that drinketh moste +then he, that drinketh least. + +William. + +¶ I put you out of doubt, it is a wonderful nature of the countrey. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Yea, this doe they in deede: whereas there bee sometime there, that drink +two times somuche in wine, as they paye in all for the shot. But before I +doe make an end of this Supper, it is a wonderful thing to tell what noise +and iangeling of tongues there is, after they begin all to bee well whitled +with wine. What shoulde I neede manye wordes? All things there haue lost +their hearing and are becom deafe. And many times disguised patches or +coxecomes doe come amonge them to make sporte: whiche kinde of men, +althoughe of all other it be most to be abhorred, yet you wil scant beleue +howe muche the Germaines are delighted with them. They keepe sike a coile +with their singinge, theire chatting, their hoopinge and hallowinge, theire +praunsinge, theire bounsinge, that the Stooue seemeth as if it woulde fall +downe vpon their heds, and none can heare what an other saith. And yet all +thys while they, perswade them selues, that they liue as well as hearte +canne thinke, or, as the day is broad and longe to. + +William. + +¶ Wel nowe make an ende of this Supper, I pray: for I am weary of so +tedious a Supper my selfe to. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ So I will. At the laste when the cheese is ones taken vp, whiche scantly +pleaseth their aptite, onlesse it craule ful of magots, that old +Siuicoxe[10] comes forth againe, bringinge with hym a meate Trenchoure in +his hande, vppon the whiche with chalke he hath made certaine rundelles and +halfe rundelles: that same he layeth downe vpon the table, loking very +demurelye & sadlye all the while. They that are acquainted with those +markes or skoares, doe laye downe their monye, after them an other, then +another, vntill suche time as the trenchoure bee couered, then markinge +those whiche layed downe anye thinge, he counteth or maketh reckening +softely vnto him selfe: if he misse nothing of that which the reckening +comes to, hee maketh a becke or dieugard with his hed. + +William. + +¶ What if theer be any ouerplus there? + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Peraduenture he woulde giue it them againe, and some whiles they doeso, +if it strike in their braines. + +William. + +¶ And is there none that speaketh againste this vnegall reckening? + +Bertulphe. + +¶ No, none that hathe any witte in his head, for by and by they woulde saye +thus vnto hym. What kinde of man arte thou? I tell thee thou shalt paye no +more for thy Supper heere, then other men do. + +William. + +¶ Marye this kinde of people is franke and free I see wel. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ But if one (beeinge werye with trauaile) should desire to go to bed as +soone as Supper is done, they will him tarye, till all the other go to bed +to. + +William. + +¶ Me thinkes I se Platoes common welth heere. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Then euerye mannes Cabin is shewed him, & in deede, nothinge elles but a +bare chaumber for all that is there, is but beddes, and the Deuill a whit +there is else beside there, eyther to occupye or els to steale. + +William. + +¶ There is neatnesse or clenlinesse I warraunt you. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Yea by roode, euen suche as was at the Supper. The Sheetes peraduenture +were washed halfe a yeere before. + +William. + +¶ And how fayres your horses all this while. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ They are vsed after the same rate that the m[~e] bee. + +William. + +¶ But is this maner of entertainement in eueryplace there? + +Bertulphe. + +¶ In some place it is more curteous, in some place againe, it is more +currishe then I haue made rehersall, howbeit generallye it is euen after +this order. + +William. + +¶ What would you say if I should now tell you how strañgers are entreated +in that part of Italy which they call Lõbardy, and again in spaine howe +they be vsed, and how in Englande and in Wales for Englishe men in +conditions are halfe Frenche, halfe Dutche as men indifferente betweene +both. Of theise two contries, Welche men say that they are the right +Brittaines first inhabiting the land. + +Bertulphe. + +¶ Mary I pray thee hartely tell me, for it was neuer my fortune to trauaile +into them. + +William. + +¶ Nay, I haue no laysure nowe at this time, for the Mariner bad me bee with +him at three of the clock, except I would be left behinde, and he hath a +Packette of mine. Another time wee shall haue laysure enough to tell of +these thinges our bellies full. + +[Illustration] + + * * * * * + +Notes by Project Gutenberg Transcriber + + _Explanations of some obsolete words, and in some cases the + transcriber's justification for over-riding the proofreaders' + readings._ + +[1] _et passim_ "Duche lande": i.e. Deutschland = Germany. + +[2] _et passim_ "Stove:" _A sitting-room or bedroom heated with a furnace. +Chiefly with reference to Germany, the Low Countries, Scandinavia, or +Russia_.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/39038-8.zip b/39038-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e37fa3e --- /dev/null +++ b/39038-8.zip diff --git a/39038-h.zip b/39038-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4c259e4 --- /dev/null +++ b/39038-h.zip diff --git a/39038-h/39038-h.htm b/39038-h/39038-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a3dfa88 --- /dev/null +++ b/39038-h/39038-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,1057 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> +<head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + One Dialogue, or Colluquye of Erasmus. + </title> + + <style type="text/css"> + p, h5 { margin-top:.75em; margin-bottom:.75em; } + h3, h5 { text-align:center; } + h3 { font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; } + h5 { font-size:100%; font-weight:normal; } + hr { margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; margin-top:-1.5em; margin-bottom:.75em; width:50%; } + hr.short { margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; width:20%; } + body { margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%; text-align:justify; font-family:serif; } + a:link { color:blue;text-decoration:none; } + a:visited { color:blue;text-decoration:none; } + a:hover { color:red } + sup { font-style:normal; font-size:small; } + blockquote { margin-left:3.2%; margin-right:3.2%; } + blockquote.b1n { font-size:medium; } + .note { margin-left:2em; margin-right:2em; } + span.gap { display:inline-block; width:2em; } + .figcenter { padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em; margin:0; text-align:center; font-size:0.8em; } + .figcenter img { border:none; } + .figcenter p { margin:0; text-indent:1em; } + .figcenter { margin:auto; } + .inleft { margin:0; float:left; } + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of One dialogue, or Colloquye of Erasmus +(entituled Diuersoria), by Desiderius Erasmus + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Harken to the rest of my tale that is behind.

They sit + mopinge after thys manner, otherwhiles a whole houre together, ere they + can get any thinge to eate.</p> + +<h3>William.</h3> + + <p>¶ Why?

At the + laste they are serued with Wyne: but youe woulde wonder to see what small + geare it is, Scoolemen or Sophisters shoulde drinke none other by myne + aduise, because it is so thinne and tarte: how bee it if a guest shoulde + chaunce (beside his shotte) to offer Monye to one, and desyre him to + gette some better Wyne thenne that some other where, because he lykes it + not: they firste make as though they hearde him not: but yet they bee eye + hym with suche a bigge an frowning countenaunce as if the Deuyl should + loke ouer LINCOLN (as they doe saye) If you will not linne<a name="NtA_7" + href="#Nt_7"><sup>[7]</sup></a> callinge vppon them, thenne they make + youe this aunswere. So many EARLES and MARQUESES, haue lodged here in our + house, & yet the time is yet to come, that euer they founde any fault + with our wine. And therefore if ye fancy it not, get ye packing in the + name of God, and seeke an other Inne where ye liste. For they accompt + great men and noble men for men onely in their contrye I tell you, + setting their armes abroade in euery corner of their house for a shewe. + Now by this time they are serued with a soupe, to alay and pacify their + pore hongry and crookling stomackes, well nigh loste for meat, hard at + the heeles of that comes forthe the dishes with greate ceremonie, pompe + or solemnitie. For the firste course they haue soppes or slices of bread, + soaked in fleshe brothe, or if it be a fishe day, in the broth of pulce. + Then nexte they haue an other brothe: and after that they are serued wyth + fleshe twise sod<a name="NtA_8" href="#Nt_8"><sup>[8]</sup></a>, or fishe + twise het. And yet, after this, they haue potage once againe, immediatly + after, they haue some stiffer meate til suche time as they world beinge + well amended with them, they set roste on the table, or sodde<a + href="#Nt_8"><sup>[8]</sup></a> freshe fishe, whiche a man can not all + together mislike. But when it comes to that once they make spare and whip + it away at a sodaine I warraunt you, they facion out euery thinge in his + dew time & place. And as the players of Enterludes or comedies, are + wonte in their Scenes, to entermedle theyr Chories, so doe these Duche + men serue forthe to their guests, Soppes and Potage enterchañgeably or by + course. But they prouide that the latter inde of the feast be best + furnished.</p> + +<h3>William.</h3> + + <p>¶ And this (I tell you) is the poynte of a good Poet.</p> + +<h3>Bertulphe.</h3> + + <p>¶ Besides this it were a sore offence for one all this while to say: + Away with this dishe, no man doth eat of it, here you must sit out your + time appointed, being so euen and iumpe, that I thinke they measure it + oute by some water clockes. At lẽgth that bearded Grimson<a + name="NtA_9" href="#Nt_9"><sup>[9]</sup></a> comes forth againe or els + the Inholder him selfe, litle or nothing differing from his seruauntes in + his apparaile and brauery. He asketh what cheere is with vs: by & by + some stronger wine is brought, and they caste a great loue to him that + drinketh lustely: wheras he payes no more money that drinketh moste then + he, that drinketh least.</p> + +<h3>William.</h3> + + <p>¶ I put you out of doubt, it is a wonderful nature of the + countrey.</p> + +<h3>Bertulphe.</h3> + + <p>¶ Yea, this doe they in deede: whereas there bee sometime there, that + drink two times somuche in wine, as they paye in all for the shot. But + before I doe make an end of this Supper, it is a wonderful thing to tell + what noise and iangeling of tongues there is, after they begin all to bee + well whitled with wine. What shoulde I neede manye wordes? All things + there haue lost their hearing and are becom deafe. And many times + disguised patches or coxecomes doe come amonge them to make sporte: + whiche kinde of men, althoughe of all other it be most to be abhorred, + yet you wil scant beleue howe muche the Germaines are delighted with + them. They keepe sike a coile with their singinge, theire chatting, their + hoopinge and hallowinge, theire praunsinge, theire bounsinge, that the + Stooue seemeth as if it woulde fall downe vpon their heds, and none can + heare what an other saith. And yet all thys while they, perswade them + selues, that they liue as well as hearte canne thinke, or, as the day is + broad and longe to.</p> + +<h3>William.</h3> + + <p>¶ Wel nowe make an ende of this Supper, I pray: for I am weary of so + tedious a Supper my selfe to.</p> + +<h3>Bertulphe.</h3> + + <p>¶ So I will. At the laste when the cheese is ones taken vp, whiche + scantly pleaseth their aptite, onlesse it craule ful of magots, that old + Siuicoxe<a name="NtA_10" href="#Nt_10"><sup>[10]</sup></a> comes forth + againe, bringinge with hym a meate Trenchoure in his hande, vppon the + whiche with chalke he hath made certaine rundelles and halfe rundelles: + that same he layeth downe vpon the table, loking very demurelye & + sadlye all the while. They that are acquainted with those markes or + skoares, doe laye downe their monye, after them an other, then another, + vntill suche time as the trenchoure bee couered, then markinge those + whiche layed downe anye thinge, he counteth or maketh reckening softely + vnto him selfe: if he misse nothing of that which the reckening comes to, + hee maketh a becke or dieugard with his hed.</p> + +<h3>William.</h3> + + <p>¶ What if theer be any ouerplus there?</p> + +<h3>Bertulphe.</h3> + + <p>¶ Peraduenture he woulde giue it them againe, and some whiles they + doeso, if it strike in their braines.</p> + +<h3>William.</h3> + + <p>¶ And is there none that speaketh againste this vnegall reckening?</p> + +<h3>Bertulphe.</h3> + + <p>¶ No, none that hathe any witte in his head, for by and by they woulde + saye thus vnto hym.

Say ye so indeede? And I put you out of doubt, I wonder howe men can bee +withdrawen thence againe after they be once come thether. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Yea doe? And how so I pray you? + +William. + +P. Mary sir because that is the verye place from whence Ulisses companions +coulde in no wise be gotten by perswasion. There are the sweet Mermaides +(that are spoken of) I warrant ye. Assuredlie, no man is better vsed at +home at his own house then a guest is entertained there in a common Inne. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Why? What is their order and vsage there? + +William. + +P. Some woman or other did alwayes attende vpon the table to cheere the +company with pleasaunt talke and prety conceites. And I tell you the women +are meruailous bewtiful and wel fauoured there. Firste of all the good wife +of the house came & welcomed vs, praying vs all there to bee merye, and to +take well in woorthe suche poore cheere as shee hadde prouided: when shee +was gone, in commeth her Daughter (beeinge a verye proper woman) and tooke +her roome: also whose behauioure and tongue were so pleasaunt and +delectable, that she was able to make euen the grimme Sire Cato to bee +merye and laugh, and besyde that they doe not talke wyth theyr guestes as +with men whome they neuer sawe before, but euen so famylyarlye and +freendlye, as if they were menne that were of their olde acquaintaunce. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Yea, thys is the ciuilytye of Fraunce in deede. + +William. + +P. And because the Mother and the Daughter coulde not bee alwayes in the +waye (for that they muste goe aboute theyr houssholde businesse, and +welcome their other guestes in other places) a pretye little minion Girle +stode forthe there by and by (hauinge learned her liripuppe and lesson +alreadye in all pointes I warraunte you) to make all the pastime that +mighte be possible, and to aunswere (at omnia quare) all such as shoulde be +busye to talke and dally with her, So shee didde prolonge or vpholde the +Enterlude, till the goodwifes Daughter came vnto vs againe. For as for the +mother she was somewhat striken in yeres. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Yea but tell vs what good cheere yee had there (I praye you) for a manne +cannot fill his bellye with pleasaunte talke you knowe well inoughe. + +William. + +P. I promise you faithfullye wee had notable good chere there, in so much +that I wonder how they can entertaine their guestes so good cheape as they +doe. And then when our table was tak[~e] vp, they fedde oure mindes wyth +their merye deuises, leaste wee shoulde thinke the time werysome. Me +thought I was euen at home at mine owne house, and not a trauayler abroade +in a straunge co[~u]try. + +Bertulphe. + +P. And what was the facion in your bed chambers there? + +William. + +P. Why? some wenches went in euerye corner giggelinge there, playing the +wantons, and dalying with vs, of their owne motion they would aske whether +we had any foule gere to washe or no. That they washed and brought vs +cleane againe, what should I make a longe proces or circumstance, we sawe +nothinge els there but wenches and wemen sauinge in the stable. And yet +many times they would fetche their vagaries in thether also. When the +guestes be going awaye, they embrace them, and take their leaue sweetlye +with suche kindnes and curtesye, as if they were all brethern, or (at +least) nighe a kinne the one to the other. + +Bertulphe. + +P. This behauiour doth well beseme Frenchmen peraduenture, how be it the +fashions of Duche lande[1] shall go for my monye when all is done, which +are altogether manlike. + +William. + +P. Yt was neuer my chaunce to see the Contreye yet: and therfore I pray you +take so muche paine as to tell in what sorte they entertaine a straunger +with them. + +Bertulphe. + +P. I am not sure whether it be so in euerye place or no, but I will not +sticke to reherse that whiche I haue sene with mine owne eyes. There no man +biddeth him welcome that comes, lest they shuld seme to go about to procure +a guest. And that of all sauces, they accompt a dishonest and beggarly +thing, and vnmete for their demurenes & grauetie. After you haue stoode +cryinge oute at the doore a good while, at the length some one or other +pereth out his hed at the stoue[2] window like as a snaile should pepe out +of his shell: for they liue ther in stoues, til the somer be almoste in the +Tropick of Cancer. Then must you aske of him, whether you may haue a +lodging there or no? yf he do not geue a contrary beck with his hed, you +may perceiue, that you shall haue entertainment. To those whiche aske where +aboutes the stable standes, he pointes vnto it with the wagging of his +hand. There maye you vse youre horse after your own diet, for no seruaunt +of the house shall once lay handes vnto it to help you. But if it bee an +Inne some what occupied or haunted, th[~e] the seruaunt sheweth there which +is the stable, & telleth you also a place where your horse shal stad, full +vnhansomely for that purpose god knoweth for they reserue the better romes +for the after commers, specially for the noble men, yf you finde any fault +with any thinge, by an by they snub you with this: Sir, if mine Inne please +you not, goe seeke an other elsewhere in the name of god in cities, it is +longe ere they wil bring you hay forthe for your horse, and when they do +bring it, it is after a niuer facion[3] I warraunt you, and yet will they +aske asmuch mony of you for it (in a maner) as if it were Otes. After your +horse is once dressed you come with all your cariage into the stoue with +Bootes, Male, or Packe, and with Dirte, Bag and Baggage and all. Euery man +is vsed to this generally. + +William. + +P. In Fraunce they haue certaine chaumbers for the nonce, where guests may +put of their clothes may wipe or make clean th[~e] selues, may warme them +selues: yea may take their ease to, if they bee so disposed. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Yea, but here is no suche facions I tel you. In the stoue, you pul of +youre Bootes, you pull on youre Shooes, you chaunge youre Shirt if you bee +so minded, you hange vp youre clothes all weate, with raine harde by the +Chimney, and to make youre selfe drye doe stande by the same your selfe, +you haue also water sette readye for your handes, which moste commonly is +so clenlye, that you muste after seeke other water, to washe of that water +againe. + +William. + +P. I commende them as menne not corrupted with to much finenesse or +daintinesse. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Thoughe it be youre chaunce to come thether about iiii. of the clocke at +afternoone, yet shall you not go to supper for all that vntill it be nine +of the clocke at night, and sometime not before tenne. + +William. + +P. How so? + +Bertulphe. + +P. They make nothinge ready til they see all their guestes come in, that +they may serue them all vnder one without more adoe. + +William. + +P. These men seeke the neerest way to woorke, I see wel. + +Bertulphe. + +P. You say true in deede: They doe so, and therfore often times there come +all into one Stooue, lxxx. or xC. Footemen, Horsemen, Marchauntmen, +Mariners, Carters, Plowemen, Children, Wemen, hole and sicke. + +William. + +P. Marye this is a communitye of lyfe in deede. + +Bertulphe. + +P. One kembes his head there. An other doth rubbe of his sweat there. An +other maketh cleane his startops[4] or bootes there. An other belcks out +hys Garlicke there. What needes manye wordes? There is as muche mingle +mangle of parsons there, as was in the old time at the Towre of Babell. And +if they chaunce to see a straunger amonge them, whiche in his apparell +semeth somewhat braue, galaunt and gentlemanlike, they all stand prying +vpon him with their eyes, gasing and gapinge as if some straunge beaste +were brought them out of Aphrick, in so much as after they are once set, +they be eye him stil an end and neuer looke of, as men forgetting th[~e] +selues that they be now at supper. + +William. + +P. At Rome, at Parise, and at Venice, no ma maketh any such wonderment at +all. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Nowe it is a sore matter I tell you to call for ought there al this +while: when it is farre night and they looke for no more guestes at that +time, then commeth forthe an olde stager of the house, with a gray beard, a +polled hed, a frowning co[~u]tenaunce, clad in il fauored apparaile. + +William. + +P. Yea mary suche fellowes as these you speak of, should fill the Cardinals +cups at Rome. + +Bertulphe. + +P. He casting his eyes about, reckeneth vnto him selfe howe manye therebe +in the stoue at all, the moe he seeth there, the greater he maketh his +fire, though the sonne beside doth greatly annoy with his perching heat. +Among them, this is accoumpted the principallest pointe of good +entertainment, if they all sweat like Bulles, that they doe euen drop +again. But if one not vsed to this choking and smotheringe ayre, should +chaunce to open but a chinke of the window to keepe him self from +stifeling, he should by and by haue this saied vnto him: Shut it I pray +you, if you aunswere that you canne not abide it, ye haue this in your nose +for your labor, why? then go seeke you an other Inne, on gods name. + +William. + +P. But me thinkes there can be no greater daunger for health, then that so +many should drawe in and out all one vapour: specially when the body is in +a sweat, and in this same place to eat meate together, and to tarye +together a great while in company, for now I wil not speak of belchinges +that sauour of garlick, nor of fistinge, or fisseling[5] nor of stinking +breths, many there be (I tel you) that haue priuy diseases, and euery +desease hath his proper infection. And surely the moste of th[~e] haue the +spanishe scabbe, or as some terme it the frenche pockes: thoughe now adaies +one nation hathe it commonlye asmuche as an other. I suppose (I tel you) +that there is as great ieobardye in companyinge with these as it is with +lepers, and nowe gesse you howe muche difference is betwene this and the +pestilence? + +Bertulphe. + +P. Tushe man they bee stoute fellowes: they doe scorne theise thinges, and +make as it were no accompt of them. + +William. + +P. But yet they are stout with hazardinge of many a mannes helth I tell you +plainely. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Why? What should a man do? They haue thus vsed them selues euermore, and +it is a token of constancy and stabilitie neuer to varye or geue ouer that +whiche they haue once taken in hand. + +William. + +P. But aboue twentye yeeres agone, there was nothinge more vsed amonge the +Brabanders, then the common Bathes. And now adaies, the same are laied a +side euery where: for this stra[~u]g scabbe (I speake of) hathe taught men +to come no more thether. + +Bertulphe. + +P. But go toe? Harken to the rest of my tale that is behind. That grim +bearded Ganimede coms to vs afterwardes againe, and layeth as many tables +as he then thinkes will serue for the nomber of his guestes, But Lord, what +baggage are the table clothes? if you saw them I dare say you would think +them h[~e]pen cloths, that are taken from the sailes of ships: they be so +course, for he hath apointed that viii. guests shall sit at one table at +the least. Nowe those that are acquainted with the facion of the country, +doe sit downe euery man, where he listeth him selfe, for there is no +diuersitie or cursye I tell you there, betweene the poore man and the +riche, betweene the Master and his seruaunt. They are all one. One as good +as an other, there is heere (as they say) no difference betwene the +shepherd and his dog. + +William. + +P. Yea marye: this is the olde facion when all is done, that Tiranny hath +now abolished and put away from am[~o]g vs: I think Christ liued iump[6] +after this maner on the earth when he was here conuersaunt with his +Apostles. + +Bertulphe. + +P. After they be all set, in commeth the frowning minion againe, and once +more falleth to recken what company he hathe there: by and by retourning he +layeth euery one a trenchar, and a spone of the same siluer: and then after +that, hee setteth downe a drinkinge glasse and within a while bringes in +bread which euery manne (at leysure) chippeth and pareth for him selfe, +whiles the potage is a sethinge. They sit mopinge after thys manner, +otherwhiles a whole houre together, ere they can get any thinge to eate. + +William. + +P. Why? Doe none of the guestes call earnestlye vpon them to haue in the +Supper all this while? + +Bertulphe. + +P. No, none of them all that knowes the Facion of the countrye. At the +laste they are serued with Wyne: but youe woulde wonder to see what small +geare it is, Scoolemen or Sophisters shoulde drinke none other by myne +aduise, because it is so thinne and tarte: how bee it if a guest shoulde +chaunce (beside his shotte) to offer Monye to one, and desyre him to gette +some better Wyne thenne that some other where, because he lykes it not: +they firste make as though they hearde him not: but yet they bee eye hym +with suche a bigge an frowning countenaunce as if the Deuyl should loke +ouer LINCOLN (as they doe saye) If you will not linne[7] callinge vppon +them, thenne they make youe this aunswere. So many EARLES and MARQUESES, +haue lodged here in our house, & yet the time is yet to come, that euer +they founde any fault with our wine. And therefore if ye fancy it not, get +ye packing in the name of God, and seeke an other Inne where ye liste. For +they accompt great men and noble men for men onely in their contrye I tell +you, setting their armes abroade in euery corner of their house for a +shewe. Now by this time they are serued with a soupe, to alay and pacify +their pore hongry and crookling stomackes, well nigh loste for meat, hard +at the heeles of that comes forthe the dishes with greate ceremonie, pompe +or solemnitie. For the firste course they haue soppes or slices of bread, +soaked in fleshe brothe, or if it be a fishe day, in the broth of pulce. +Then nexte they haue an other brothe: and after that they are serued wyth +fleshe twise sod[8], or fishe twise het. And yet, after this, they haue +potage once againe, immediatly after, they haue some stiffer meate til +suche time as they world beinge well amended with them, they set roste on +the table, or sodde[8] freshe fishe, whiche a man can not all together +mislike. But when it comes to that once they make spare and whip it away at +a sodaine I warraunt you, they facion out euery thinge in his dew time & +place. And as the players of Enterludes or comedies, are wonte in their +Scenes, to entermedle theyr Chories, so doe these Duche men serue forthe to +their guests, Soppes and Potage entercha[~n]geably or by course. But they +prouide that the latter inde of the feast be best furnished. + +William. + +P. And this (I tell you) is the poynte of a good Poet. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Besides this it were a sore offence for one all this while to say: Away +with this dishe, no man doth eat of it, here you must sit out your time +appointed, being so euen and iumpe, that I thinke they measure it oute by +some water clockes. At l[~e]gth that bearded Grimson[9] comes forth againe +or els the Inholder him selfe, litle or nothing differing from his +seruauntes in his apparaile and brauery. He asketh what cheere is with vs: +by & by some stronger wine is brought, and they caste a great loue to him +that drinketh lustely: wheras he payes no more money that drinketh moste +then he, that drinketh least. + +William. + +P. I put you out of doubt, it is a wonderful nature of the countrey. + +Bertulphe. + +P. Yea, this doe they in deede: whereas there bee sometime there, that +drink two times somuche in wine, as they paye in all for the shot. But +before I doe make an end of this Supper, it is a wonderful thing to tell +what noise and iangeling of tongues there is, after they begin all to bee +well whitled with wine. What shoulde I neede manye wordes? All things there +haue lost their hearing and are becom deafe. And many times disguised +patches or coxecomes doe come amonge them to make sporte: whiche kinde of +men, althoughe of all other it be most to be abhorred, yet you wil scant +beleue howe muche the Germaines are delighted with them. They keepe sike a +coile with their singinge, theire chatting, their hoopinge and hallowinge, +theire praunsinge, theire bounsinge, that the Stooue seemeth as if it +woulde fall downe vpon their heds, and none can heare what an other saith. +And yet all thys while they, perswade them selues, that they liue as well +as hearte canne thinke, or, as the day is broad and longe to. + +William. + +P. Wel nowe make an ende of this Supper, I pray: for I am weary of so +tedious a Supper my selfe to. + +Bertulphe. + +P. So I will. At the laste when the cheese is ones taken vp, whiche scantly +pleaseth their aptite, onlesse it craule ful of magots, that old +Siuicoxe[10] comes forth againe, bringinge with hym a meate Trenchoure in +his hande, vppon the whiche with chalke he hath made certaine rundelles and +halfe rundelles: that same he layeth downe vpon the table, loking very +demurelye & sadlye all the while.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/39038.zip b/39038.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4c45de5 --- /dev/null +++ b/39038.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
