the_o weather_n have_v hold_v fair_a and_o that_o you_o have_v meet_v with_o a_o good_a prize_n you_o will_v not_o have_v think_v yourself_o mistake_v in_o the_o merry_a life_n of_o the_o mariner_n dor._n indeed_o sometime_o the_o joy_n of_o take_v help_v the_o misery_n of_o mistake_v lor._n yea_o but_o when_o the_o thief_n that_o have_v take_v a_o purse_n if_o he_o be_v overtake_v in_o the_o high_a way_n and_o so_o take_v the_o gallows_n for_o his_o inn_n that_o joyful_a take_n in_o the_o beginning_n bring_v a_o sorrowful_a mistake_n in_o the_o end_n dor._n well_o as_o for_o that_o part_n it_o be_v none_o of_o my_o play_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v leave_v it_o to_o they_o that_o love_v it_o now_o to_o tell_v thou_o of_o my_o second_o mistake_v when_o i_o have_v be_v a_o little_a on_o shore_n have_v weather_v myself_o dry_v my_o clothes_n fill_v my_o belly_n and_o empty_v my_o purse_n i_o now_o begin_v to_o think_v how_o my_o wit_n shall_v work_v for_o my_o welfare_n and_o first_o intend_v to_o seek_v entertainment_n of_o some_o noble_a person_n that_o will_v honourable_o look_v into_o the_o virtue_n valour_n and_o good_a quality_n of_o a_o good_a mind_n i_o begin_v to_o put_v on_o a_o resolution_n to_o adventure_v any_o fortune_n and_o endure_v any_o discomfort_n that_o may_v be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o my_o happiness_n and_o with_o this_o resolution_n travel_v till_o i_o be_v weary_a almost_o pennyless_o and_o exceed_o hungry_a i_o come_v to_o the_o view_n of_o a_o goodly_a fair_a &_o gorgeous_o build_v house_n which_o stand_v as_o it_o be_v a_o mile_n from_o a_o city_n near_o adjoin_v now_o in_o hope_n there_o to_o find_v some_o such_o person_n as_o i_o before_o speak_v of_o i_o begin_v to_o rouse_v up_o myself_o as_o one_o that_o have_v a_o assure_a hope_n at_o least_o of_o some_o good_a victual_n i_o mean_v of_o a_o good_a dinner_n scotfree_a howsoever_o otherwise_o fortune_n will_v be_v my_o friend_n when_o ere_o i_o will_v approach_v too_o near_o the_o house_n lest_o i_o shall_v be_v see_v in_o any_o unfit_a manner_n i_o comb_v my_o beard_n garter_v up_o my_o stocking_n truss_v every_o point_n button_v every_o button_n and_o make_v myself_o ready_a in_o the_o best_a manner_n i_o can_v to_o appear_v before_o the_o presence_n of_o such_o as_o i_o shall_v meet_v withal_o in_o this_o gallant_a mansion_n but_o when_o i_o come_v near_o unto_o the_o house_n and_o find_v the_o door_n shut_v i_o do_v imagine_v be_v about_o the_o mid_a time_n of_o the_o day_n that_o the_o servant_n be_v all_o at_o dinner_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o house_n either_o lay_v down_o to_o sleep_v or_o go_v into_o his_o closet_n to_o talk_v upon_o some_o account_n with_o his_o lady_n but_o hear_v no_o sound_n of_o any_o noise_n nor_o voice_n within_o of_o either_o man_n or_o dog_n i_o fear_v some_o ill_a fortune_n that_o there_o be_v some_o great_a sickness_n or_o danger_n of_o death_n that_o may_v damp_n the_o spirit_n and_o so_o cause_v the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o whole_a house_n but_o stay_v awhile_o and_o neither_o hear_v any_o voice_n within_o nor_o any_o poor_a creature_n without_o at_o the_o gate_n that_o may_v hope_v of_o alm_n from_o the_o hall_n i_o fear_v the_o charity_n within_o be_v so_o little_a that_o my_o comfort_n without_o will_v be_v according_a but_o after_o that_o i_o have_v stand_v awhile_o loath_a to_o lose_v time_n i_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n where_o i_o knock_v long_o before_o i_o have_v any_o answer_n and_o in_o the_o end_n be_v salute_v at_o a_o window_n far_o within_o by_o a_o old_a fellow_n who_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o save_v a_o groat_n have_v sleep_v out_o his_o dinner_n who_o speech_n with_o a_o wide_a mouth_n gape_v out_o be_v this_o what_o lack_v you_o my_o friend_n quoth_v i_o i_o pray_v you_o let_v i_o speak_v with_o you_o no_o quoth_v he_o i_o can_v come_v down_o i_o be_o busy_a my_o master_n be_v not_o at_o home_n and_o here_o be_v no_o body_n in_o the_o house_n but_o i_o and_o my_o wife_n and_o she_o be_v not_o well_o but_o say_v your_o errand_n and_o i_o will_v hear_v you_o my_o errand_n think_v i_o be_v there_o ever_o such_o a_o kennel_n for_o such_o a_o cur_n do_v he_o take_v i_o for_o some_o sorry_a fellow_n or_o have_v he_o no_o better_a kind_n of_o greeting_n for_o stranger_n and_o thus_o while_o i_o stand_v muse_v and_o fret_v at_o my_o fortune_n and_o this_o bad_a fellow_n he_o shut_v the_o window_n and_o i_o with_o a_o sigh_n to_o see_v how_o i_o be_v mistake_v in_o this_o fair_a house_n turn_v i_o from_o it_o i_o meet_v with_o a_o fool_n in_o a_o pied_a coat_n who_o look_v upon_o i_o after_o he_o have_v overlaugh_v himself_o tell_v i_o sir_n you_o be_v mistake_v this_o be_v a_o banquet_a house_n where_o the_o gazer_n be_v only_o feed_v with_o
