at the bellewing of the bonnie white Bul the ardent heates of Pasiphaë were more more increased in so much that one horne of his head was more precious in her precise imagination then all her former sacrifices dedicated as dainties to delectable Diana euen so as soone as the bruite of most bountifull Bacchus was blazed abroad Tom Typsay an english tapster wel-nere choaked with a marueilous drie heat which he of late had got by lifting ouerlong at old mother Redcaps this Tom Typsay I say with a wel tried tankard trailing at his taile the more he thought of Bacchus bountie the more he desired to trie the experience and the further hée laboured after his liking the longer he lusted after his liquor wishing at euery foote the worthie presence of so gracious a God Thus Tom Typsay not only in hope to tipple with the best but trusting to merite a further rewarde fell flat downe on both his maribones holding vp his hands on hie towardes the heauens and made his Orison to the renoumed god Bacchus as hereafter followeth BOnny Bacchus God of wines Cheefe maintainer of our vines Sucker the soule in greefe which pines Water to drinke I hold not good Thy iuice oh Bacchus breeds best blood Nectar good Bacchus Nectar send Braue Bacchus doe thy bounty lend Vnto Tom Typsay stand a frend And so thy fame shall neuer ende Nectar sweet Nectar is my wish Behold my tankard and my dish As for my plate I haue it solde And for pure broath my money tolde Yet once againe let me beholde Euery morning warme or colde Nappie liquor stout and bolde Commended and boasted In a pot trimly toasted The pots feet finely roasted In a worthie fire And first of all for my part To besiege and sacke the quarte Till it warme me well at hart And then doe it feele Sincke downe into my heele And so next to take the paines To passe vpward through the vaines And soake withall into these braines Which witles now alas remaines For want of good liquor Scarse had he ended this his petitory prattle but Bacchus as willing to lend him a long eare to heare as hée to open a wide mouth to aske and as desirous to fetch him in for a foot man as to turne him off his trusse as ready to féed him as fat as a foole as to teach him the tricke to shue the go●se presently he roused vp his moysty head and from a muddie mufe so cléered vp his cherilike countenance that the maiestie of his nose séemed as the beames of the sunne shining along throughout the coastes of Archadie But missing the sight of him whom he lately heard forthwith he tumbled vpon his tunne and standing bolt vpright through the merueilous influence which to him was imparted by Euriopazeus he saw Tom Tipsay in an excéeding quandary in so much that Bacchus for very pittie through the might of his deitie so curiously soared through the airie region that in a moment he descried this perplexed Tapster and drawing nere him he hailstd him after this maner Whereas my friend thy groanes are so great and grieuous that they haue ascended the hiest cloudes which cry out in thy behalfe for my accustomed clemency and pierced withall into my bountifull tunne which now troubled with the sharpnes of thy spéech threates out a danger to her former swauitie behold Bacchus Bacchus I say thy best beloued god ready prest to performe what thou art willing to demaunde Say on therefore boldly and feare not and withall know this that Bacchus hath not only a care to kéepe his clients in safety but great cause no doubt to preserue them in felicity for who is he that hath euer heard much lesse séene that any of the gods at any time so tendred the welfare of their suppliants as from age to age both dayly and hourely béen séene in me The tyrannie of Iupiter is testified by his threatning thunderbolte the malice of Mars is expressed by his bloody blade The outrage of Pallas is dissembled by the booke but euidently perceiued by the piercing launce The broyles of Pan are performed by the crooke The furie of Syluanus is knowne by the Clubbe the dismall decrées of Diana are noted by her dartes and to be briefe all the other gods and goddesses Hercules like are cloyed with such cholericke clubbs that their mouthes taste nothing sauing wordes of wrath and their déeds séeme vndecent vnlesse they smel of reuenge But Bacchus that braue god whom thou séest here present abhorreth that his wightes should bee wearied with the waight of such vnweildie weapons No no I beare as thou maiest sée a beautifull braunch of goodly grapes in token of ioy gladnes whereas the terrour of other gods to the griefe of many doth prognosticate sorrow and sadnes Now therefore Tapster if thou wilt be as readie to make trial of my bountie as I willing to inuite thée to my banquet beholde Whilson-wéeke is néere at hand then are my feasts called Bacchanalia then resort together the whole band of Bacchus in their chiefest brauerie amongst whome if it so please thée thou shalt be entertained as a guest most welcom to Bacchus Tom Typsay hearing so courteous a discourse as a man marueilously amazed for ioy stood a long time staring in Bacchus face not able poore soule as then to make a reply But Bacchus a perfect phisitian willing to preserue his patient in so pitifull a plight reuiued his spirites with the swéet moysture of his tunne and refreshed his braines with the iuice of his grapes Hereat Tom Typsay awaking as it were from a drousie slumber yéelded to his god Bacchus a tub full of thankes and promised at the time appointed to bée there with the first Yet because hée knew not the place hée demanded of him thus Sith your worships godhead hath vouchsafed to commaund my companie to so famous a feast let it not displease your maiestie to put mee in memorie of the place else by the masse I promise you I feare mée I shall neuer finde out your honours house I pray you sir how do you call it To resolue this doubt quoth Bacchus vnderstand therefore that my mansion house is called Alepotto scituate on the south side of Quaffington enquire for mée at the signe of the scarlet nose and from thence shalt thou bée set aright into Beerebury lane so that being there thou canst not misse to finde out my palace for thou shalt plainely sée it before thine eyes Hereat Tom Typsay made a long legge vowing to bée there without faile and Bacchus willing to dismisse him blessed the Tapsters tankard with part of his bountie and thereupon departed Thus the Tapster in great haste hies him home as mery as any hare in the moneth of March. For whereas before this so comfortable a conference hée was so lazie that euery foote séemed to haue a leaden héele euerie legge in such a quandarie as though they had tooke some new acquaintance
