fingers streight out and closed orderly in a parallel line to the point of his nose shutting the left eye wholly and making the other wink with a profound depression of the eye-brows and eye-lids Then lifted he up his left hand with hard wringing and stretching forth his foure fingers and elevating his thumb which he held in a line directly correspondent to the situation of his right hand with the distance of a cubit and a halfe between them This done in the same forme he abased towards the ground both the one and the other hand Lastly he held them in the midst as aiming right at the English mans nose And if Mercurie said the English man there Panurge interrupted him and said You have spoken Mask Then made the English man this signe his left hand all open he lifted up into the aire then instantly shut into his fist the foure fingers thereof and his thumb extended at length he placed upon the gristle of his nose Presently after he lifted up his right hand all open and all open abased and bent it downwards putting the thumb thereof in the very place where the little finger of the left hand did close in the fist and the foure right hand fingers he softly moved in the aire then contrarily he did with the right hand what he had done with the left and with the left what he had done with the right Panurge being not a whit amazed at this drew out into the aire his Trismegist Codpiece with the left hand and with his right drew forth a trunchion of a white oxe-rib and two pieces of wood of a like forme one of black eben and the other of incarnation brasil and put them betwixt the fingers of that hand in good symmetrie then knocking them together made such a noise as the Lepers of Britanie use to do with their clappering clickets yet better resounding and farre more harmonious and with his tongue contracted in his mouth did very merrily warble it alwayes looking fixedly upon the English man The Divines Physicians and Chirurgions that were there thought that by this signe he would have inferred that the English man was a Leper the Counsellors Lawyers and Decretalists conceived that by doing this he would have concluded some kinde of mortal felicity to consist in Leprosie as the Lord maintained heretofore The English man for all this was nothing daunted but holding up his two hands in the aire kept them in such forme that he closed the three master-fingers in his fist and passing his thumbs thorough his indical or foremost and middle fingers his auricularie or little fingers remained extended and stretched out and so presented he them to Panurge then joyned he them so that the right thumb touched the left and the left little finger touched the right Hereat Panurge without speaking one word lift up his hands and made this signe He put the naile of the forefinger of his left hand to the naile of the thumb of the same making in the middle of the distance as it were a buckle and of his right hand shut up all the fingers into his fist except the forefinger which he often thrust in and out through the said two others of the left hand then stretched he out the forefinger and middle finger or medical of his right hand holding them asunder as much as he could and thrusting them towards Thaumast Then did he put the thumb of his left hand upon the corner of his left eye stretching out all his hand like the wing of a bird or the finne of a fish and moving it very daintily this way and that way he did as much with his right hand upon the corner of his right eye Thaumast began then to waxe somewhat pale and to tremble and made him this signe With the middle finger of his right hand he struck against the muscle of the palme or pulp which is under the thumb then put he the forefinger of the right hand in the like buckle of the left but he put it under and not over as Panurge did Then Panurge knocked one hand against another and blowed in his palme and put again the forefinger of his right hand into the overture or mouth of the left pulling it often in and out then held he out his chinne most intentively looking upon Thaumast The people there which understood nothing in the other signes knew very well what therein he demanded without speaking a word to Thaumast What do you mean by that In effect Thaumast then began to sweat great drops and seemed to all the Spectators a man strangely ravished in high contemplation Then he bethought himself and put all the nailes of his left hand against those of his right opening his fingers as if they had been semicircles and with this signe lift up his hands as high as he could Whereupon Panurge presently put the thumb of his right hand under his jawes and the little finger thereof in the mouth of the left hand and in this posture made his teeth to sound very melodiously the upper against the lower With this Thaumast with great toile and vexation of spirit rose up but in rising let a great bakers fart for the bran came after and pissing withal very strong vineger stunk like all the devils in hell the company began to stop their noses for he had conskited himself with meer anguish and perplexity Then lifted he up his right hand clunching it in such sort that he brought the ends of all his fingers to meet together and his left hand he laid flat upon his breast whereat Panurge drew out his long Codpiece with his tuffe and stretched it forth a cubit and a half holding it in the aire with his right hand and with his left took out his orange and casting it up into the aire seven times at the eight he hid it in the fist of his right hand holding it steadily up on high and then began to shake his faire Codpiece shewing it to Thaumast After that Thaumast began to puffe up his two cheeks like a player on a bagpipe and blew as if he had been to puffe np a pigs bladder whereupon Panurge put one finger of his left hand in his nockandrow by some called St. Patricks hole and with his mouth suck't in the aire in such a manner as when one eats oysters in the shell or when we sup up our broth this done he opened his mouth somewhat and struck his right hand flat upon it making therewith a great and a deep sound as if it came from the superficies of the midriffe through the trachiartere or pipe of the lungs and this he did for sixteen times but Thaumast did alwayes keep blowing like a goose Then Panurge put the fore-finger of his right hand into his mouth pressing it very hard to the muscles thereof then he drew it out aud withal made a great noise as when little boyes shoot pellets out of the pot-canons made of the hollow

sticks of the branch of an aulder-tree and he did it nine times Then Thaumast cried out Ha my Masters a great secret with this he put in his hand up to the elbow then drew out a dagger that he had holding it by the point downwards whereat Panurge took his long Codpiece and shook it as hard as he could against his thighes then put his two hands intwined in manner of a combe upon his head laying out his tongue as farre as he was able and turning his eyes in his head like a goat that is ready to die Ha I understand said Thaumast but what making such a signe that he put the haft of his dagger against his breast and upon the point thereof the flat of his hand turning in a little the ends of his fingers whereat Panurge held down his head on the left side and put his middle finger into his right eare holding up his thumb bolt upright then he crost his two armes upon his breast and coughed five times and at the fifth time he struck his right foot against the ground then he lift up his left arme and closing all his fingers into his fist held his thumbe against his forehead striking with his right hand six times against his breast But Thaumast as not content therewith put the thumb of his left hand upon the top of his nose shutting the rest of his said hand whereupon Panurge set his two Master-fingers upon each side of his mouth drawing it as much as he was able and widening it so that he shewed all his teeth and with his two thumbs pluck't down his two eye-lids very low making therewith a very ill-favour'd countenance as it seemed to the company CHAP. XX. How Thaumast relateth the vertues and knowledge of Panurge THen Thaumast rose up and putting off his cap did very kindly thank the said Panurge and with a loud voice said unto all the people that were there My Lords Gentlemen and others at this time may I to some good purpose speak that Evangelical word Et ecce plus quàm Salomon hîc You have here in your presence an incomparable treasure that is my Lord Pantagruel whose great renown hath brought me hither out of the very heart of England to conferre with him about the insoluble problemes both in Magick Alchymie the Caballe Geomancie Astrologie and Philosophie which I had in my minde but at present I am angry even with fame it self which I think was envious to him for that it did not declare the thousandth part of the worth that indeed is in him You have seen how his disciple only hath satisfied me and hath told me more then I asked of him besides he hath opened unto me and resolved other inestimable doubts wherein I can assure you he hath to me discovered the very true Well Fountain and Abysse of the Encyclopedeia of learning yea in such a sort that I did not think I should ever have found a man that could have made his skill appear in so much as the first elements of that concerning which we disputed by signes without speaking either word or half word But in fine I will reduce into writing that which we have said and concluded that the world may not take them to be fooleries and will thereafter cause them to be printed that every one may learne as I have done Judge then what the Master had been able to say seeing the disciple hath done so valiantly for Non est discipulus super Magistrum Howsoever God be praised and I do very humbly thank you for the honour that you have done us at this Act God reward you for it eternally the like thanks gave Pantagruel to all the company and going from thence he carried Thaumast to dinner with him and beleeve that they drank as much as their skins could hold or as the phrase is with unbottoned bellies for in that age they made fast their bellies with buttons as we do now the colars of our doublets or jerkins even till they neither knew where they were nor whence they came Blessed Lady how they did carouse it and pluck as we say at the Kids leather and flaggons to trot and they to toote Draw give page some wine here reach hither fill with a devil so There was not one but did drink five and twenty or thirty pipes can you tell how even Sicut terra sine aqua for the weather was hot and besides that they were very dry In matter of the exposition of the Propositions set down by Thaumast and the signisication of the signes which they used in their disputation I would have set them down for you according to their own relation but I have been told that Thaumast made a great book of it imprinted at London wherein he hath set down all without omitting any thing and therefore at this time I do passe by it CHAP. XXI How Panutge was in love with a Lady of Paris PAnurge began to be in great reputation in the City of Paris by means of this disputation wherein he pre vailed against the English man and from thenceforth made his Codpiece to be very useful to him to which effect he had it pinked with pretty little Embroideries after the Romanesca fashion And the world did praise him publickly in so farre that there was a song made of him which little children did use to sing when they went to fetch mustard he was withal made welcome in all companies of Ladies and Gentlewomen so that at last he became presumptuous and went about to bring to his lure one of the greatest Ladies in the City and indeed leaving a rabble of long prologues and protestations which ordinarily these dolent contemplative Lent-lovers make who never meddle with the flesh one day he said unto her Madam it would be a very great benefit to the Common-wealth delightful to you honourable to your progeny and necessary for me that I cover you for the propagating of my race and beleeve it for experience will teach it you the Lady at this word thrust him back above a hundred leagues saying You mischievous foole is it for you to talk thus unto me whom do you think you have in hand be gone never to come in my sight again for if one thing were not I would have your legs and armes cut off Well said he that were all one to me to want both legs and armes provided you and I had but one merry bout together at the brangle buttock-game for here within is in shewing her his long Codpiece Master John Thursday who will play you such an Antick that you shall feel the sweetnesse thereof even to the very marrow of your bones He is a gallant and doth so well know how to finde out all the corners creeks and ingrained inmates in your carnal trap that after him there needs no broom he 'l sweep so well before and leave nothing to his followers to work upon whereunto the Lady answered Go villain go

for my better security I made the signe of the Crosse crying Hageos athanatos hotheos and none came at which my rogue Baashaw being very much aggrieved would in transpiercing his heart with my spit have killed himself and to that purpose had set it against his breast but it could not enter because it was not sharp enough whereupon I perceiving that he was not like to work upon his body the effect which he intended although he did not spare all the force he had to thrust it forward came up to him and said Master Bugrino thou dost here but trifle away thy time or rashly lose it for thou wilt never kill thy self thus as thou doest well thou mayest hurt or bruise somewhat within thee so as to make thee languish all thy life-time most pitifully amongst the hands of the Chirurgions but if thou wilt be counselled by me I will kill thee clear out-right so that thou shalt not so much as feel it and trust me for I have killed a grear many others who have found themselves very well after it Ha my friend said he I prethee do so and for thy paines I will give thee my Codpiece take here it is there are six hundred Seraphs in it and some fine Diamonds and most excellent Rubies And where are they said Epistemon By St. John said Panurge they are a good way hence if they alwayes keep going but where is the last yeares snow this was the greatest care that Villon the Parisien Poet took Make an end said Pantagruel that we may know how thou didst dresse thy Baashaw By the faith of an honest man said Panurge I do not lie in one word I swadled him in a scurvie swathel-binding which I found lying there half burnt and with my cords tied him royster-like both hand and foot in such sort that he was not able to winse then past my spit thorough his throat and hanged him thereon fastening the end thereof at two great hooks or cramp-irons upon which they did hang their Halberds and then kindling a faire fire under him did flame you up my Milourt as they use to do dry herrings in a chimney with this taking his budget and a little javelin that was upon the foresaid hooks I ran away a faire gallop-rake and God he knows how I did smell my shoulder of mutton When I was come down into the street I found every body come to put out the fire with store of water and seeing me so halfe-roasted they did naturally pity my case and threw all their water upon me which by a most joyful refreshing of me did me very much good then did they present me with some victuals but I could not eat much because they gave me nothing to drink but water afrer their fashion Other hurt they did me none only one little villainous Turkie knobbreasted rogue came thiefteously to snatch away some of my lardons but I gave him such a sturdie thump and sound rap on the fingers with all the weight of my javelin that he came no more the second time Shortly after this there came towards me a pretty young Corinthian wench who brought me a box full of Conserves of round Mirabolan plums called Emblicks and looked upon my poor Robin with an eye of great compassion as it was flea-bitten and pinked with the sparkles of the fire from whence it came for it reached no further in length beleeve me then my knees but note that this roasting cured me entirely of a Sciatick whereunto I had been subject above seven yeares before upon that side which my roaster by falling asleep suffered to be burnt Now whilest they were thus busie about me the fire triumphed never ask How for it took hold on above two thousand houses which one of them espying cried out saying By Mahooms belly all the City is on fire and we do neverthelesse stand gazing here without offering to make any relief upon this every one ran to save his own for my part I took my way towards the gate When I was got upon the knap of a little hillock not farre off I turned me about as did Lots wife and looking back saw all the City burning in a faire fire whereat I was so glad that I had almost beshit my selfe for joy but God punished me well for it How said Pantagruel Thus said Panurge for when with pleasure I beheld this jolly fire jesting with my self and saying Ha poor flies ha poor mice you will have a bad winter of it this yeare the fire is in your reeks it is in your bed-straw out came more then six yea more then thirteen hundred and eleven dogs great and small altogether out of the town flying away from the fire at the first approach they ran all upon me being carried on by the sent of my leacherous half-roasted flesh and had even then devoured me in a trice if my good Angel had not well inspired me with the instruction of a remedy very sovereign against the tooth-ache And wherefore said Pantagruel wert thou afraid of the tooth-ache or paine of the teeth wert thou not cured of thy Rheumes By Palme-sunday said Panurge is there any greater pain of the teeth then when the dogs have you by the legs but on a sudden as my good Angel directed me I thought upon my lardons and threw them into the midst of the field amongst them then did the dogs run and fight with one another at faire teeth which should have the lardons by this means they left me and I left them also bustling with and hairing one another Thus did I escape frolick and lively grammercie roastmeat and cookery CHAP. XV. How Panurge shewed a very new way to build the walls of Paris PAntagruel one day to refresh himself of his study went a walking towards St. Marcels suburbs to see the extravagancie of the Gobeline building and to taste of their spiced bread Panurge was with him having alwayes a flaggon under his gown and a good slice of a gammon of bacon for without this he never went saying that it was as a Yeoman of the guard to him to preserve his body from harme other sword carried he none and when Pantagruel would have given him one he answered that he needed none for that it would but heat his milt Yea but said Epistemon if thou shouldest be set upon how wouldest thou defend thy self With great buskinades or brodkin blowes answered he provided thursts were forbidden At their return Panurge considered the walls of the City of Paris and in derision said to Pantagruel See what faire walls here are O how strong they are and well fitted to keep geese in a mue or coop to fatten them by my beard they are competently scurvie for such a City as this is for a Cow with one fart would go near to overthrow above six fathoms of them O my friend said Pantagruel doest thou know what Agesilaus said when he was asked Why the great City of Lacedemon was

if you speak to me one such word more I will cry out and make you to be knocked down with blowes Ha said he you are not so bad as you say no or else I am deceived in your physiognomie for sooner shall the earth mount up unto the Heavens and the highest Heavens descend unto the Hells and all the course of nature be quite perverted then that in so great beauty and neatnesse as in you is there should be one drop of gall or malice they say indeed that hardly shall a man ever see a faire woman that is not also stubborn yet that is spoke only of those vulgar beauties but yours is so excellent so singular and so heavenly that I beleeve nature hath given it you as a paragon and master-piece of her Art to make us know what she can do when she will imploy all her skill and all her power There is nothing in you but honey but sugar but a sweet and celestial Manna to you it was to whom Paris ought to have adjudged the golden Apple not to Venus no nor to Juno nor to Minerva for never was there so much magnificence in Juno so much wisdom in Minerva nor so much comelinesse in Venus as there is in you O heavenly gods and goddesses how happy shall that man be to whom you will grant the favour to embrace her to kisse her and to rub his bacon with hers by G that shall be I I know it well for she loves me already her belly full I am sure of it and so was I predestinated to it by the Fairies and therefore that we lose no time put on thrust out your gamons and would have embraced her but she made as if she would put out her head at the window to call her neighbours for help Then Panurge on a sudden ran out and in his running away said Madam stay here till I come again I will go call them my self do not you take so much paines thus went he away not much caring for the repulse he had got nor made he any whit the worse cheer for it The next day he came to the Church at the time that she went to Masse at the door he gave her some of the holy water bowing himself very low before her afterwards he kneeled down by her very familiarly and said unto her Madam know that I am so amorous of you that I can neither pisse nor dung for love I do not know Lady what you mean but if I should take any hurt by it how much would you be too blame Go said she go I do not care let me alone to say my prayers I but said he equivocate upon this a Beaumon le viconte or to faire mount the priccunts I cannot said she It is said he a beau con le vit monte or to a faire C ... the pr ... mounts and upon this pray to God to give you that which your noble heart desireth and I pray you give me these patenotres Take them said she trouble me no longer this done she would have taken off her patenotres which were made of a kinde of yellow stone called Cestrin and adorned with great spots of gold but Panurge nimbly drew out one of his knives wherewith he cut them off very handsomly and whilest he was going away to carry them to the Brokers he said to her Will you have my knife No no said she But said he to thepurpose I am at your commandment body and goods tripes and bowels In the mean time the Lady was not very well content with the want of her patinotres for they were one of her implements to keep her countenance by in the Church then thought with her self this bold flowting Royster is some giddy fantastical light-headed foole of a strange countrey I shall never recover my patenotres again what will my husband say he will no doubt be angry with me but I will tell him that a thief hath cut them off from my hands in the Church which he will easily beleeve seeing the end of the riban left at my girdle After dinner Panurge went to see her carrying in his sleeve a great purse full of Palace-crowns called counters and began to say unto her Which of us two loveth other best you me or I you whereunto she answered As for me I do not hate you for as God commands I love all the world But to the purpose said he are not you in love with me I have said she told you so many times already that you should talk so no more to me and if you speak of it again I will teach you that I am not one to be talked unto dishonestly get you hence packing and deliver me my patenotres that my husband may not ask me for them How now Madam said he your patenotres nay by mine oath I will not do so but I will give you others had you rather have them of gold well enameled in great round knobs or after the manner of love-knots or otherwise all massive like great ingots or if you had rather have them of Ebene of Jacinth or of grained gold with the marks of fine Turkoises or of faire Topazes marked with fine Saphirs or of baleu Rubies with great marks of Diamonds of eight and twenty squares No no all this is too little I know a faire bracelet of fine Emeraulds marked with spotted Ambergris and at the buckle a Persian pearle as big as an Orange it will not cost above five and twenty thousand ducates I will make you a present of it for I have ready coine enough and withal he made a noise with his counters as if they had been French Crownes Will you have a piece of velvet either of the violet colour or of crimson died in graine or a piece of broached or crimson sattin will you have chaines gold tablets rings You need no more but say Yes so farre as fifty thousand ducates may reach it is but as nothing to me by the vertue of which words he made the water come in her mouth but she said unto him No I thank you I will have nothing of you By G said he but I will have somewhat of you yet shall it be that which shall cost you nothing neither shall you have a jot the lesse when you have given it hold shewing his long Codpiece this is Master John Good fellow that askes for lodging and with that would have embraced her but she began to cry out yet not very loud Then Panurge put off his counterfeit garb changed his false visage and said unto her You will not then otherwayes let me do a little a turd for you you do not deserve so much good nor so much honour but by G I will make the dogs ride you and with this he ran away as fast as he could for feare of blowes whereof he was naturally fearful CHAP. XXII How Panurge served a Parisian Lady a trick that pleased her not very well NOw you must

exterminated from about me This Vow was no sooner made but there w●s heard a voice from heaven saying Hoc fac vinces that is to say Do this and thou shalt overcome Then Pantagruel seeing that Loupgarou with his mouth wide open was drawing near to him went against him boldly and cried out as loud as he was able Thou diest villain thou diest purposing by his horrible cry to make him afraid according to the discipline of the Lacedemonians Withal he immediately cast at him out of his bark which he wore at his girdle eighteen cags and foure bushels of salt wherewith he filled both his mouth throat nose and eyes at this Loupgarou was so highly incensed that most fiercely setting upon him he thought even then with a blow of his mace to have beat out his braines but Pantagruel was very nimble and had alwayes a quick foot and a quick eye and therefore with his left foot did he step back one pace yet not so nimbly but that the blow falling upon the bark broke it in foure thousand fourescore and six pieces and threw all the rest of the salt about the ground Pantagruel seeing that most gallantly displayed the vigour of his armes and according to the Art of the axe gave him with the great end of his mast a homethrust a little above the breast then bringing along the blow to the left side with a slash struck him between the neck and shoulders After that advancing his right foot he gave him a push upon the couillons with the upper end of his said mast wherewith breaking the scuttle on the top thereof he spilt three or foure punchons of wine that were left therein Upon that Loupgarou thought that he had pierced his bladder and that the wine that came forth had been his urine Pantagruel being not content with this would have doubled it by a side-blow but Loupgarou lifting up his mace advanced one step upon him and with all his force would have dash't it upon Pantagruel wherein to speak the truth he so sprightfully carried himself that if God had not succoured the good Pantagruel he had been cloven from the top of his head to the bottom of his milt but the blow glanced to the right side by the brisk nimblenesse of Pantagruel and his mace sank into the ground above threescore and thirteen foot through a huge rock out of which the fire did issue greater then nine thousand and six tuns Pantagruel seeing him busie about plucking out his mace which stuck in the ground between the rocks ran upon him and would have clean cut off his head if by mischance his mast had not touched a little against the stock of Loupgarous mace which was inchanted as we have said before by this meanes his mast broke off about three handfuls above his hand whereat he stood amazed like a Bell-Founder and cried out Ah Panurge where art thou Panurge seeing that said to the King and the Giants By G they will hurt one another if they be not parted but the Giants were as merry as if they had been at a wedding then Carpalin would have risen from thence to help his Master but one of the Giants said unto him By Golfarin the Nephew of Mahoon if thou stir hence I will put thee in the bottom of my breeches in stead of a Suppository which cannot chuse but do me good for in my belly I am very costive and cannot well eagar without gnashing my teeth and making many filthy faces Then Pantagruel thus destitute of a staffe took up the end of his mast striking athwart and alongst upon the Giant but he did him no more hurt then you would do with a filip upon a Smiths Anvil In the time Loupgarou was drawing his mace out of the ground and having already plucked it out was ready therewith to have struck Pantagruel who being very quick in turning avoided all his blowes in taking only the defensive part in hand until on a sudden he saw that Loupgarou did threaten him with these words saying Now villain will not I faile to chop thee as small as minced meat and keep thee henceforth from ever making any more poor men athirst for then without any moreado Pantagruel struck him such a blow with his foot against the belly that he made him fall backwards his heels over his head and dragged him thus along at flay-buttock above a flight-shot Then Loupgarou cried out bleeding at the throat Mahoon Mahoon Mahoon at which noise all the Giants arose to succour him but Panurge said unto them Gentlemen do not go if you will beleeve me for our Master is mad and strikes athwart and alongst he cares not where he will do you a mischief but the Giants made no account of it seeing that Pantagruel had never a staffe And when Pantagruel saw those Giants approach very near unto him he took Loupgarou by the two feet and lift up his body like a pike in the aire wherewith it being harnished with Anvils he laid such heavy load amongst those Giants armed with free stone that striking them down as a Mason doth little knobs of stones there was not one of them that stood before him whom he threw not flat to the ground and by the breaking of this stony armour there was made such a horrible rumble as put me in minde of the fall of the butter-tower of St. Stephens at Bourge when it melted before the Sunne Panurge with Carpalin and Eusthenes did cut in the mean time the throats of those that were struck down in such sort that there escaped not one Pantagrnel to any mans sight was like a Mower who with his sithe which was Loupgarou cut down the meddow grasse to wit the Giants but with this fencing of Pantagruels Loupgarou lost his head which happened when Pantagruel struck down one whose name was Riflandouille or pudding-plunderer who was armed cap-a-pe with grison stones one chip whereof splintring abroad cut off Epistemons neck clean and faire for otherwise the most part of them were but lightly armed with a kinde of sandie brittle stone and the rest with slaits at last when he saw that they were all dead he threw the body of Loupgarou as hard as he could against the City where falling like a frog upon his belly in the great piazza thereof he with the said fall killed a singed he-cat a wet she-cat a farting duck and a brideled goose CHAP. XXX How Epistemon who had his head cut off was finely healed by Panurge and of the newes which he brought from the devils and the damned people in hell THis Gigantal victory being ended Pantagruel withdrew himself to the place of the flaggons and called for Panurge and the rest who came unto him safe and sound except Eusthenes whom one of the Giants had scratched a little in the face whilest he about the cutting of his throat and Epistemon who appeared not at all whereat Pantagruel was so aggrieved that he would have killed
