publike affaires entred into the counsell chamber and cried out aloud I giue my verdite that euery one of you be dawcockes And one Norandino of Sauignano was not much vnlike these being a most vitious foole who at a time when a great disputation was helde in the citie of Cesena neere to that towne and passing by chance through the place where all the disputāts were gathered togither making roume amongst them all with a good quarter staffe he spake with a loud voice I hold this conclusion that Sauignano is not distant from Cesena aboue ten miles and next I maintaine this other that Sauignano is male and Cesena is female as also I le stand to this that more people will giue eare to me which am but a Foole then to you who would appeare to be wise And last of all I will affirme and prooue this other that if euer a wiseman went thorough Cesena I should not be a foole my selfe These of this kinde therefore are called vicious fooles and within the Hospitall they enioy a cell which hath hanging without the image of the goddesse Themis vpon whom as their protectrix in this vnder supplication we will call for helpe A supplication to goddesse Themis for vicious Fooles O Great daughter of heauen and earth so woonderfully beloued of Iupiter as thou art desirous of his loue be not niggardly of thy help to those who being fooles and vicious seeke at the handes of Themis the goddesse of reasonable demaunds that which is requisite for them to request and sue for They demaunde therefore this iust and lawfull sute that of Heauen thy father thou wouldest obtaine wit for their vnderstanding and vertue for their mindes for if by thy grace and fauour they shall be deliuered from such a defect in thy temple so much honored by the Boëtians neere the riuer Celisus thoushalt see offred vnto thee a Spanish mule which will be an euident signe of the great victorie and triumph thou shalt obtaine by such a deliuerie Of malicious and despightfull fooles the thirteenth discourse SOme men there be that inwardly haue inserted in thē such a spirit as if they happē at any time to be offended or iniuried by anie one with a foolish wilfulnes at one instant they begin to contend with him and as of the offenders side iniuries and offences multiply so likewise togither with hatred doe continuall rancors and despightes encrease on their part so as the matter commeth to this passe that brutishly thus hammering and boiling in their mindes they obtaine the name of malitious and despightfull fooles Amongst auncient examples that peraduenture of Cleomedes Astipalensis a man of mightie strength named by Plutarke may well be placed who being defrauded of a certaine rewarde due vnto his vertue entred for this cause into such malice and despight as one day he laide his shoulders to a pillar which susteined the common schoole wherein were all the children of the chiefest men of the place and bearing it furiously to the ground he killed the master and all those yoong youths togither In the number of these also may that Merganore in the Poet Ariosto be reckoned who for the death of his two sonnes conceiued such mortall hatred against women-kinde as looke howe many women soeuer came within his circuit they were al for this cause rudely scoffed and hardly intreated by him For a malicious and peeuish Foole of late daies a certaine literate quoy quanquam is of all men crowned or such a kinde of peeuish Poul-iobham that for the biting of a flea could finde in his hart to kill the whole world when he is in his spleene sir Iohn Chimneis humor he feares not all the great ordinance of the Tower for enuie and despight take away from him all foresight of the danger and blow that hangeth ouer the head of his furie Wherefore to this our purpose it is reported of him that on a time another calling him head of a base violl he was through this word mooued to such choler that he reached him such a blow which missing him lighting vpon a pillar by broke all this Fooles owne hand arme and when he cleerly saw the dammage which redounded to himselfe entring into greater furie then before he threw a flinte-stone to haue hit him on the head which lighting against the wall and recoyling backe tooke himselfe on the breast so that raging presently with double furie and madnes he went to runne his head against the other mans belly who drawing back he ran his owne head against the wal broke it all ouer and last of all hauing no otherthing wherewith to shew his spleene hee indiscreetly out of his stomacke powers a belch in his face saying Goe to take this seeing I can in no other sort reuēge my self Christoforo of Crispino was a notable wayward and despitefull Foole who because on a time another said vnto him he being of rude and homely aspect you are a welfauoured yoong man abhorring this mans ironicall speech hee threw a cheese at his breast and because he tooke vp the cheese carried it away to eat he sent after him a knife which he had but he taking vp the knife also to serue his turne to cut the cheese withal being neer to a bakers shop the other tooke vp as much bread as hee could in his hand and threw it at him the which in like manner he taking vp to serue him to eate his cheese withall the other would last of all haue throwen an emptie cup without wine at him which was readie at hand but hee saying vnto him nay gentle brother but fill it with wine and then send it after mee in gods name With these words he grew into such a furie as running to a fountaine neere hand he would needes haue cast it full of water at him but this man smiling and flying away like a trecherous Parthian or snearing companion said I will haue the knife the bread and the cheese and let the cup and the water remaine with thee for we are now share and share like and thus did he delude the last blow of this despitefull Foole who in the end perceiued that he was exceedingly derided for his foolish enterpise A more famous example of malitious Folly cannot be produced then that which diuine Ariosto setteth downe in peruerse and wicked Gabrina especially in that Stanza which beginneth thus Hearke thou said she that art so stoute and fell As thou contem'st and mak'st a scorne of me For if thou knew'st what newes I could thee tell Of her whom dead thou dost bemoane I see Then would'st thou me behold with merrie glee But rather then I will the same declare Thou shalt me into mammocks pull and tare For the cursed olde wretch with all furious despite sought to wreake her selfe on miserable Zerbino not imparting to his lamentable Fortune one onely sparke of pitie or commiseration like a diuelish and impious witch as
