seuen Sciences in vertue so shinyng At whose encrease there is great thankes rēdred Unto the mother as nothing surrendred Her good name and her dulcet sounde Whiche did engender their originall ground And first to gramer she first me sent To whose request I did well obey With diligence forth on my way I went Up to a chambre depaynted fayre and gaye And at the chambre in right riche araye We were let in by highe aucthoritye Of the ryght noble dame congruitie Howe Science sent him firste to Grammer where he was receiued by dame Congruitie Capi. v. THe lady Gramer in al humble wise Did me receine into her goodly scole To whose doctrine I did me aduertyse For to attayne in her artyke pole Her gilted dewe for to oppresse my dole To whom I sayed that I would gladly learne Her noble cunnyng so that I might decerne What that it is and why that it was made To whiche she aunswered then in speciall Because that cunnyng should not pale ne fade Of euery science it is origynall Whiche dothe vs teache euer in generall In all good order to speke directly And for to write by true artografy Sometyme in Egypt raygned a noble kyng I clipped Enander whiche did well abound In many vertues especially in learnyng Which had a daughter that by her studye found To write true latyn the first perfect grounde Whose goodly name as her story sayes Was called Carmentis in her liuyng dayes Thus in the tyme of olde antiquitie The noble Philosophers w t their whole delite For the commen profite of all humanitie Of the seuen sciences for to knowe the ryght They studied many a long winters nyght Eche after other their partes to expresse This was their guise to eschue idlenes The pomped carkes wyth fode delicious They did not fede but to their sustinaunce They folowed not their fleshe so vycious But ruled it by prudent gouernaunce They were content alway wyth suffisaunce They coueted not no worldely treasure For they knewe that it might not endure But nowe adayes the contrary is vsed To winne the money their studies be all set The commen profite is often refused For well is he that may the money get From his neyghbour wythout any let They thinke nothyng they shal from it passe When all that is shalbe turned to was The brittle fleshe nourisher of vyces Under che shadowe of euil slogardy Must ne des haunt the carnall delyces When that the brayne by corrupt glotony Up so downe is turned then contrary Frayle is the bodye to great vnhappines When that the heade is full of dronkennes So do they nowe for they nothing prepence Howe cruel death dothe them sore ensue They are so blynded in worldly negligence That to their merite they wyll nothyng renue The seuen sciences their slouthe to eschue To an others profite they take now no kepe But to their owne for to eate drynke and slepe And all this dame Gramer tolde me euery dele To whom I harkened wyth all my diligence And after this she taught me ryght well First my donet and then my accedence I set my mynde with percyng influence To learne her science the first famous arte Eschuyng idlenes and laiyng all aparte Madame quod I for as muche as there be Uiii partes of speche I would knowe right faine What a nowne substantiue is in his degree And wherfore it is so called certayne To whom she aunswered right gently agayne Saiyng alwaye that a nowne substantyue Might stande without helpe of an adiectyue The latyn worde whiche that is referred Unto a thing whiche is substanciall For a nowne substantiue is well auerred And with a gender is declinall So all the eyght partes in generall Are latyn wordes annexed proprelye To euery speache for to speake formally And Gramer is the first foundement Of euery scyence to haue construction Who knewe Grammer without impediment Shoulde perfectly haue intellection Of a lytterall cense and moralizacion To construe euery thyng ententiflye The worde is Grammer well and ordinately By worde the worlde was made originally The hye kyng saied it was made incontinente He did commaunde all was made shortlye To the world the word is sentencious iudgment I marked well dame Gramers sentment And of her then I did take my lycence Goyng to Logyke wyth all my diligence ¶ Howe he was receiued of Logyke Capit. vi SO vp I went vnto a chamber bryght Where was wont to be a right fayre Lady Before whom then it was my hole delite I kneled adowne full well and mekely Besechyng her to enstruct me shortly In her noble science whiche is expedient For man to knowe in many an argument You shall quod she my scyence well learne In time and space to your great vtilitye So that in me lokyng you shal then discerne A frende from foe and good from iniquitie Ryght from wrong ye shall knowe in certaintye My scyence is all the yll to eschewe And for to knowe the false from the true Who will take payne to folowe the trace In this wretched worlde of trouth ryghteousnes In heuen aboue he shal haue dwelling place And who that walketh the way of darkenes Spendyng his tyme in worldely wretchednes A myddes the earth in hell most horrible He shall haue payne nothyng extinguyssyble So by Logyke is good perceueraunce To deuide the good and the euil a sunder It is alwaye at mannes pleasaunce To take the good and cast the euyl vnder If God made hell it is therof no wonder For to punyshe man that had intelligence To know good from yll by true experience Logyke alway dothe make probacion Prouyng the pro well from the contrary In sundry wise by argumentation Grounded on reason well and wondersly Who vnderstode all Logike truely Nothyng by reason myght be in pleadynge But he the trouthe shoulde haue in knowlegyng Her wise doctrine I marked in memory And toke my leaue of her hye person Because that I myght no lenger tary The yere was spent and so farre then gone And of my ladye yet syght had I none Whiche was abidyng in the tower of musyke Wherfore anone I went to Rethoryke ¶ Howe he was receyued of Rethoryke and what Rethorike is Capit. vii THan aboue Logike vp we went a stayre Into a chamber gaylye glorified Strowed w t flowers of al goodly ayre Where sate a Lady greatly magnified And her true vesture clearly purified And ouer her heade that was bryght and shene She had a garlande of the laurell grene Her goodly chamber was set all about With depured mirrours of speculation The fragraunt fumes did well encense out All misty vapours of perturbacion More liker was her habitation Unto a place whiche is celestiall Then to a terrayne mancion fatall Before whom then I did knele a downe Saiyng O starre of famous eloquence O gilted Goddesse of the hyghe renowne Enspyred with the heauenly influence Of the dulcet well of complacence Upon my mynde with dewe aromatike Distyll adowne thy lusty
