of the softness of the said Doun and of the temperate heat of the Goose which is easily communicated to the Bumgut and the rest of the Intestines insofar as to come even to the Regions of the Heart and Brains And think not that the Felicity of the Heroes and Demigods in the Elysian Fields consisteth either in their Asphodele Ambrosia or Nectar as our old Women here use to say but in this according to my judgment that they wipe their Tails with the Neck of a Goose holding her Head betwixt their Legs and such is the Opinion of Master Iohn of Scotland CHAP. XIV How Gargantua was taught Latin by a Sophister THE good Man Grangousier having heard this discourse was ravish'd with Admiration considering the high reach and marvellous understanding of his Son Gargantua and said to his Governesses Philip King of Macedon knew the great Wit of his Son Alexander by his skilful managing of a Horse for his Horse Bucephalus was so fierce and unruly that none durst adventure to ride him after that he had given to his Riders such devillish falls breaking the Neck of this Man the other Man's Leg braining one and cracking another's Jaw-bone This by Alexander being considered one day in the Hippodrome which was a place appointed for the breaking and managing of great Horses he perceived that the fury of the Horse proceeded meerly from the fear he had of his own shadow whereupon getting on his back he run him against the Sun so that the shadow fell behind and by that means tamed the Horse and brought him to his hand Whereby his Father perceiving his marvellous Capacity and divine Insight caused him most carefully to be instructed by Aristotle who at that time was highly renowned above all the Philosophers of Greece After the same manner I tell you that by this only discourse which now I have here had before you with my Son Gargantua I know that his Understanding doth participate of some Divinity and that if he be well taught and have that Education which is fitting he will attain to a supream degree of Wisdom Therefore will I commit him to some learned Man to have him indoctrinated according to his Capacity and will spare no cost Presently they appointed him a great Sophister-Doctor called Master Tubal Holophernes who taught him his ABC so well that he could say it by heart backwards and about this he was Five Years and three Months Then read he to him Donat facet theodolet and Alanus in parabolis About this he was Thirteen Years six Months and two Weeks But you must remark that in the mean time he did learn to write in Gottish Characters and that he wrote all his Books for the Art of Printing was not then in use And did ordinarily carry a great Pen and Inkhorn weighing above Seven thousand Quintals the Pen-case vvhereof vvas as big and as long as the great Pillar of Enay and the Horn vvas hanged to it in great Iron Chains it being of the vvideness to hold a Tun of Merchand Ware After that vvas read unto him the Book de modis significandi with the Commentaries of Hurtbise of Fasquin of Tropifeu of Gaulhaut of Iohn Calf of Billonio of Berlinguandus and a rabble of others and herein he spent more then Eighteen Years and eleven Months and was so well versed therein that to try Masteries in School-disputes with his Condisciples he would recite it by heart backwards And did sometimes prove on his Fingers ends to his Mother Quod de modis significandi non erat scientia Then was read to him the Compost on which he spent Sixteen Years and two Months And at that very time which was in the Year 1420 his said Praeceptor died of the Pox. Afterwards he got an old coughing Fellow to teach him named Master Iobelin Bridé vvho read unto him Hugotio Flebard Grecism the Doctrinal the Pars the Quid est the Supplementum Marmoretus de moribus in mensa servandis Seneca de quatuor virtutibus cardinalibus Passaventus cum commento and Dormi securè for the Holy-days and other such llke stuff by reading vvhereof he became as vvise as any vve ever since baked in an Oven CHAP. XV. How Gargantua was put under other School-masters AT the last his Father perceived that indeed he studied hard and that although he spent all his time therein yet for all that did he profit nothing but vvhich is worse grew thereby a Fool a Sot a Doult and Block-head whereof making a heavy complaint to Don Philip of Marays Viceroy of Papeligosse he found that it were better for his Son to learn nothing at all then to be taught such like Books under such School-masters because their Knowledge was nothing but all Trifle and their Wisdom Foppery serving only to basterdize good and noble Spirits and to corrupt the Flower of Youth That it is so take said he any Young Boy of this time who hath only studied two Years if he have not a better Judgment a better Discourse and that expressed in better Terms then your Son with a compleater Carriage and Civility to all manner of persons account me for ever hereafter a very clounch and baconslicer of Brene This pleased Grangousier very well and he commanded that it should be done At night at supper the said Don Philip brought in a young Page of his of Ville-gouges called Eudemon so neat so trim so handsom in his Apparel so spruce with his Hair in so good Order and so sweet and comely in his behaviour that he had the resemblance of a little Angel more than of a human Creature Then he said to Grangousier Do you see this young Boy He is not as yet full twelve years old let us try if it like you what difference there is betwixt the knowledge of the Dunces Mateologian of old time and the young Lads that are now The Tryal pleased Grangousier and he commanded the Page to begin Then Eudemon asking leave of the Vice-Roy his Master so to do vvith his Cap in his hand a clear and open countenance beautiful and ruddy Lips his Eyes steady and his Looks fixed upon Gargantua with a youthful modesty standing up strait on his feet began to commend him first for his Vertue and good Manners secondly for his knowledg thirdly for his Nobility fourthly for his bodily accomplishments and in the fifth place most sweetly exhorted him to reverence his Father with all due observancy vvho was so careful to have him well brought up in the end he prayed him that he vvould vouchsafe to admit of him amongst the least of his Servants for other Favour at that time desired he none of Heaven but that he might do him some grateful and acceptable Service all this was by him delivered vvith such proper gestures such distinct Pronunciation so pleasant a Delivery in such exquisite fine Terms and so good Latin that he seemed rather a Gracchus a Cicero an Aemilius of the time past then a

that poor Carpalin had almost been burnt and had it not been for his wonderful Agility he had been fried like a roasting Pig but he departed away so speedily that a Bolt or Arrow out of a Crossbow could not have had a swifter Motion When he was clear of their Trenches he shouted aloud and cried out so dreadfully and with such Amazement to the Hearers that it seemed all the Devils of Hell had been let loose At which Noise the Enemies awaked but can you tell how even no less astonished than are Monks at the ringing of the first Peal to Matins which in Lusonnois is called Rubbalock In the mean time Pantagruel began to sow the Salt that he had in his Bark and because they slept with an open gaping Mouth he filled all their Throats with it so that those poor Wretches were by it made to cough like Foxes Ha Pantagruel how thou addest greater Heat to the Firebrand that is in us Suddenly Pantagruel had will to piss by Means of the Drugs which Panurge had given him and piss'd amidst the Camp so well and so copiously that he drowned them all and there was a particular Deluge ten Leagues round about the History saith if his Father's great Mare had been there and piss'd likewise it would undoubtedly have been a more enormous Deluge than that of Deucalion for she did never piss but she made a River greater than is either the Rhosne or the Danube which those that were come out of the City seeing said They are all cruelly slain see how the Blood runs along but they were deceived in thinking Pantagruel's Urine had been the Blood of their Enemies for they could not see but by the Light of the Fire of the Pavilions and some small Light of the Moon The Enemies after that they were awaked seeing on one side the Fire in the Camp and on the other the Inundation of the urinal Deluge could not tell what to say nor what to think Some said that it was the End of the World and the final Judgment which ought to be by Fire Others again thought that the Sea-Gods Neptune Protheus Triton and the rest of them did persecute them for that indeed they found it to be like Sea-water and Salt O who were able now condignly ●o relate how Pantagruel did demean himself against the three hundred Giants O my Muse my Calliope my Thalia inspire me at this time restore unto me my Spirits for this is the Logical Bridg of Asses here is the Pit●al here is the Difficulty to have Ability enough to express the horrible Battel that was fought Ah would to God that I had now a Bottle of the best Wine that ever those drank who shall read this so veridical History CHAP. XXIX How Pantagruel discomfited the three hundred Giants armed with Free-stone and Loupgarou their Captain THE Giants seeing all their Camp drowned carried away their King Anarchus upon their Backs as well as they could out of the Fort as Aenea● did to his Father Anchises in the time of the Conflagration of Troy When Panurge perceived them he said to Pantagruel Sir yonder are the Giants coming forth against you lay on them with your Mast gallantly like an old Fencer for now is the time that you must shew your self a brave and an honest Man And for our part we will not fail you I my self will kill to you a good many boldly enough for why David killed Goliah very easily and then this great Lecher Eusthenes who is stronger than four Oxen will not spare himself Be of good Courage therefore and valiant charge amongst them with Point and Edg and by all manner of Means Well said Pantagruel of Courage I have more than for fifty Franks but let us be wise for Hercules never undertook against two that is well cack'd well scummered said Panurge do you compare your self with Hercules You have by G more Strength in your Teeth and more Scent in your Burn than ever Hercules had in all his Body and Soul so much is a Man worth as he esteems himself Whilst they spake those Words behold Loupgarou was come with all his Giants who seeing Pantagruel in a manner alone was carried away with Temerity and Presumption for Hopes that he had to kill the good Man whereupon he said to his Companions the Giants You Wenchers of the Low-countrey by Mahoon if any of you undertake to fight against these Men here I will put you cruelly to Death It is my Will that you let me fight single in the mean time you shall have good Sport to look upon us Then all the other Giants retired with their King to the Place where the Flagons stood and Panurge and his Camerades with them who counterfeited those that have had the Pox for he wreathed about his Mouth shrunk up his Fingers and with a harsh and hoarse Voice said unto them I forsake od Fellow-souldiers if I would have it to be believed that we make any War at all give us somewhat to eat with you whilst our Masters fight against one another To this the King and Giants jointly condescended and accordingly made them to banquet with them In the mean time Panurge told them the Follies of Turpin the Examples of St. Nicholas and the Tale of a Tub. Loupgarou then set forward towards Pantagruel with a Mace all of Steel and that of the best sort weighing nine thousand seven hundred Kintals and two Quarterons at the End whereof were thirteen pointed Diamonds the least whereof was as big as the greatest Bell of our Ladies Church at Paris there might want perhaps the Thickness of a Nail or at most that I may not lie of the Back of those Knives which they call Cut-lugs but for a little off or on more or less it is no Matter and it was inchanted in such sort that it could never break but contrarily all that it did touch did break immediately Thus then as he appoached with great Fierceness and Pride of Heart Pantagruel casting up his Eyes to Heaven recommended himself to God with all his Soul making such a Vow as followeth O thou Lord God who hast always been my Protector and my Saviour thou seest the Distress wherein I am at this Time Nothing brings me hither but a natural Zeal which thou hast permitted unto Mortals to keep and defend themselves their Wives and Children Country and Family in case thy own proper Cause were not in question which is the Faith for in such a Business thou wilt have no Coadjutors only a Catholick Confession and Service of thy Word and hast forbidden us all Arming and Defence for thou art the Almighty who in thine own Cause and where thine own Business is taken to Heart canst defend it far beyond all that we can conceive thou who hast thousand thousands of hundreds of Millions of Legions of Angels the least of which is able to kill all mortal Men and turn about the Heavens and Earth at his

Tent under a precious stately Canopy within a glorious and sublime Pavilion or yet on a soft Couch betwixt rich Curtains of Cloth of Gold without affrightment at long intermediate Respits enjoying of Pleasures and Delights a Belly-full all at great ease with a huge fly-flap Fan of Crimson Sattin and a Bunch of Feathers of some East-Indian Ostrich serving to give Chace unto the Flyes all round about whilst in the Interim the Female picks her Teeth with a stiff Straw pick'd even then from out of the bottom of the Bed she lies on If you be not content with this my Exposition are you of the mind that my Wife will suck and sup me up as People use to gulp and swallow Oysters out of the Shell Or as the Cilician Women according to the Testimony of Dioscorides were wont to do the Grain of Alkermes Assuredly that is an Error Who seizeth on it doth neither gulch up nor swill down but takes away what hath been packed up catcheth snatcheth and plies the Play of Hey pass Repass The Fourth Article doth imply That my Wife will flay me but not at all O the fine Word You interpret this to beating Strokes and Blows Speak wisely Will you eat a Pudding Sir I beseech you to raise up your Spirits above the low-sized pitch of earthly Thoughts unto that hight of sublime Contemplation which reacheth to the Apprehension of the Mysteries and Wonders of Dame Nature And here be pleased to condemn your self by a renouncing of those Errors which you have committed very grosly and somewhat perversly in expounding the Prophetick Sayings of the Holy Sybil. Yet put the case albeit I yield not to it that by the Instigation of the Devil my Wife should go about to wrong me make me a Cuckold downwards to the very Breech disgrace me otherways steal my Goods from me yea and lay violently her Hands upon me she nevertheless should fail of her Attempts and not attain to the proposed end of her unreasonable Undertakings The Reason which induceth me hereto is grounded totally on this last Point which is extracted from the profoundest Privacies of a Monastick Pantheology as good Friar Arther Wagtaile told me once upon a Monday morning as we were if I have not forgot eating a Bushel of Trotter-pies and I remember well it rained hard God give him the good Morrow The Women at the beginning of the World or a little after conspired to flay the Men quick because they found the Spirit of Mankind inclined to domineer it and bear rule over them upon the face of the whole Earth and in pursuit of this their Resolution promised confirmed sworn and covenanted amongst them all by the pure Faith they owe to the nocturnal Sanct Rogero But O the vain Enterprises of Women O the great Fragility of that Sex Feminine They did begin to flay the Man or pill him as says Catullus at that Member which of all the Body they loved best to wit the nervous and cavernous Cane and that above five thousand years ago yet have they not of that small part alone flayed any more till this hour but the Head In meer despite whereof the Iews snip off that parcel of the Skin in Circumcision choosing far rather to be called Clip-yards Raskals than to be flayed by Women as are other Nations My Wife according to this Female Covenant will flay it to me if it be not so already I heartily grant my Consent thereto but will not give her leave to flay it all Nay truly will I not my noble King Yea but quoth Epistemon you say nothing of her most dreadful Cries and Exclamations when she and we both saw the Lawrel-bough burn without yielding any noise or crackling You know it is a very dismal Omen an inauspicious sign unlucky judice and token formidable bad disastrous and most unhappy as is certified by Propertius Tibullus the quick Philosopher Porphyrius Eustachius on the Iliads of Homer and by many others Verily verily quoth Panurge brave are the Allegations which you bring me and Testimonies of two-footed Calves These Men were Fools as they were Poets and Dotards as they were Philosophers full of Folly as they were of Philosophy CHAP. XIX How Pantagruel praiseth the Counsel of Dumb Men. PAntagruel when this Discourse was ended held for a pretty while his Peace seeming to be exceeding sad and pensive then said to Panurge the malignant Spirit misleads beguileth and seduceth you I have read that in times past the surest and most veritable Oracles were not those which either were delivered in Writing or utter'd by word of Mouth in speaking For many times in their Interpretation right witty learned and ingenious Men have been deceived thro' Amphibolories Equivoks and Obscurity of Words no less than by the brevity of their Sentences For which cause Apollo the God of Vaticination was Surnamed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Those which were represented then by Signs and outward Gestures were accounted the truest and the most infallible Such was the Opinion of Heraclitus And Iupitur did himself in this manner give forth in Amon frequently Predictions Nor was he single in this Practice for Apollo did the like amongst the Assyrians His prophesying thus unto those People moved them to paint him with a large long Beard and Cloaths beseeming an old setled Person of a most posed stayed and grave Behaviour not naked young and beardless as he was pourtrayed most usually amongst the Graecians Let us make trial of this kind of Fatidicency and go you take Advice of some dumb Person without any speaking I am content quoth Panurge But says Pantagruel it were requisite that the Dumb you consult with be such as have been deaf from the hour of their Nativity and consequently dumb for none can be so lively natural and kindly dumb as he who never heard How is it quoth Panurge that you conceive this matter If you apprehend it so that never any spoke who had not before heard the Speech of others I will from that Antecedent bring you to infer very logically a most absurd and paradoxical Conclusion But let it pass I will not insist on it You do not then believe what Herodotus wrote of two Children who at the special Command and Appointment of Psammeticus King of Egypt having been kept in a petty Country Cottage where they were nourished and entertained in a perpetual silence did at last after a certain long space of time pronounce this word Bee which in the Phrygian Language signifieth Bread Nothing less quoth Pantagruel do I believe than that it is a meer abusing of our Understandings to give Credit to the words of those who say that there is any such thing as a Natural Language All Speeches have had their primary Origin from the Arbitrary Institutions Accords and Agreements of Nations in their respective Condescendments to what should be noted and betokened by them An Articulate Voice according to the Dialecticians hath naturally no signification at all for

an Asses Head upon burning Coals By Ceromancy where by the means of Wax dissolved into Water thou shalt see the Figure Pourtrait and lively Representation of thy future Wife and of her Fredin Fredaliatory Belly thumping Blades By Capnomancy O the gallantest and most excellent of all Secrets By Axionomancy we want only a Hatchet and a Jeat-stone to be laid together upon a quick Fire of hot Embers O how bravely Homer was versed in the practice hereof towards Penelope's Suiters By Onymancy for that we have Oyl and Wax By Tephromancy thou wilt see the Ashes thus aloft dispersed exhibiting thy Wife in a fine Posture By Botonomancy for the nonce I have some few Leaves in reserve By Sicomancy O Divine Art in Fig-tree Leaves By Icthiomancy in ancient times so celebrated and put in use by Tiresias and Polydamas with the like certainty of event as was tried of old at the Dina-ditch within that Grove consecrated to Apollo which is in the Territory of the Lycians By Choiramancy Let us have a great many Hogs and thou shalt have the Bladder of one of them By Cheromomancy as the Bean is found in the Cake at the Epiphany Vigil By Anthropomancy practised by the Roman Emperor Heliagobulus it is somewhat irksom but thou wilt endure it well enough seeing thou art destinated to be a Cuckold By a Sybilline Stichomancy By Onomatomancy How do they call thee Chaw turd quoth Panurge or yet by Alectryomancy If I should here with a Compass draw a round and in looking upon thee and considering thy Lot divide the Circumference thereof into four and twenty equal parts then form a several Letter of the Alphabet upon every one of them and lastly posit a Barly Corn or two upon each of these so disposed Letters I durst promise upon my Faith and Honesty that if a young Virgin Cock be permitted to range alongst and athwart them he should only eat the Grains which are set and placed upon these Letters A. C.u.c.k.o.l.d. T.h.o.u. s.h.a.l.t. b.e. And that as fatidically as under the Emperor Valence most perplexedly desirous to know the Name of him who should be his Successor to the Empire the Cock Vaticinating and Alectryomantick are up the Pickles that were posited on the Letters T.h.e.o.d. Or for the more certainty will you have a trial of your Fortune by the Art of Aruspiciny by Augury or by Extispicine By Turdispicine quoth Panurge or yet by the Mystery of Negromancy I will if you please suddenly set up again and revive some one lately deceased as Apollonius of Tyan did to Achilles and the Pythoniss in the Presence of Saul which Body so raised up and requickned will tell us the Sum of all you shall require of him no more nor less than at the Invocation of Erictho a certain defunct Person foretold to Pompy the whole progress and issue of the fatal Battle fought in the Pharsalian Fields Or if you be afraid of the Dead as commonly all Cuckolds are I will make use of the Faculty of Sciomancy Go get thee gone quoth Panurge thou Frantick Ass to the Devil and be buggered filthy Bordachio that thou art by some Albanian for a Steeple-crown'd Hat Why the Devil didst not thou counsel me as well to hold an Emerald or the Stone of a Hyena under my Tongue Or to furnish and provide my self with Tongues of Whoops and Hearts of Green Frogs Or to eat of the Liver and Milt of some Dragon To the end that by those means I might at the chanting and chirping of Swans and other Fowls understand the Substance of my future Lot and Destiny as did of old the Arabians in the Country of Mesopotamia Fifteen brace of Devils seize upon the Body and Soul of this horned Renegado miscreant Cuckold the Inchanter Witch and Sorcerer of Antichrist to all the Devils of Hell Let us return towards our King I am sure he will not be well pleased with us if he once come to get notice that we have been in the Kennel of this muffled Devil I repent my being come hither I would willingly dispence with a Hundred Nobles and Fourteen Yeomans on condition that he who not long since did blow in the bottom of my Breeches should instantly with his squirting Spittle inluminate his Mustaches O Lord God now how the Villain hath besmoaked me with Vexation and Anger with Charms and Witchcraft and with a terrible Coyl and Stir of Infernal and Tartarian Devils The Devil take him say Amen and let us go drink I shall not have any Appetite for my Victuals how good Cheer soever I make these two days to come hardly these four CHAP. XXVI How Panurge consulteth with Friar Ihon of the Funnels PAnurge was indeed very much troubled in mind and disquieted at the words of Her Trippa and therefore as she passed by the little Village of Hugmes after he had made his Address to Friar Ihon in pecking at rubbing and scratching his own left Ear he said unto him Keep me a little jovial and merry my dear and sweet Bully for I find my Brains altogether metagrabolized and confounded and my Spirits in a most dunsical puzzle at the bitter talk of this Devillish Hellish Damned Fool Hearken my dainty Cod.

My Harcabuzing Cod and Buttock-stirring Ballock Fryar Ihon my Friend I do carry a singular respect unto thee and honour thee with all my Heart thy Counsel I hold for a choice and delicate Morsel therefore have I reserved it for the last Bit. Give me thy Advice freely I beseech thee Should I marry or no Fryar Ihon very merrily and with a sprightly chearfulness made this Answer to him Marry in the Devil's Name Why not What the Devil else shouldst thou do but marry Take thee a Wife and furbish her Harnish to some tune Swinge her Skin-coat as if thou wert beating on Stock-fish and let the repercussion of thy Clapper from her resounding Metal make a Noise as if a double Peal of Chiming-Bells were hung at the Cremasters of thy Ballocks As I say Marry so do I understand that thou shouldst fall to work as speedily as may be yea my meaning is that thou oughtest to be so quick and forward therein as on this same very day before Sun-set to cause proclaim thy Banes of Matrimony and make provision of Bedsteads By the Blood of a Hog's-pudding till when wouldst thou delay the acting of a Husband's part Dost thou not know and is it not daily told unto thee that the end of the World approacheth We are nearer it by three Poles and half a Fathom then we were two days ago The Antichrist is already born at least it is so reported by many the truth is that hitherto the effects of his wrath have not reached further then to the scratching of his Nurse and Governesses his Nails are not sharp enough as yet nor have his Claws attained to their full growth he is little Crescat Nos qui vivimus multiplicemur It is written so and it is holy stuff I warrant you The truth whereof is like to last as long as a Sack of Corn may be had for a Penny and a Punction of pure Wine for Three-pence Would thou be content to be found with thy Genitories full in the Day of Judgment Dum veneris judicari Thou hast quoth Panurge a right clear and neat Spirit Fryar Ihon my Metropolitan ●od thou speakst in very deed pertinently and to purpose That belike was the reason which moved Leander of Abydos in Asia whilst he was swimming through the Hellespontick Sea to make a Visit to his Sweetheart Hero of Sestus in Europe to pray unto Neptune and all the other Marine Gods thus Now whilst I go have pity on me And at my back returning drown me He was loath it seems to die with his Cods over-gorged He was to be commended therefore do I promise that from henceforth no Malefactor shall by Justice be executed within my Jurisdiction of Salmigondinois who shall not for a day or two at least before he be permitted to culbut and foraminate Onocrotalwise that there remain not in all his Vessels to write a great Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 such a precious thing should not be foolishly cast away he will perhaps therewith beget a Male and so depart the more contentedly out of this Life that he shall have left behind him one for one CHAP. XXVII How Fryar Ihon merrily and sportingly counselleth Panurge BY Saint Rigomet quoth Fryar Ihon I do advise thee to nothing my dear Friend Panurge which I would not do my self were I in thy place only have a special care and take good heed thou soulder well together the Joynts of the double backed and two bellied Beast and fortifie thy Nerves so strongly that there be no discontinuance in the Knocks of the Venerian thwacking else thou art lost poor Soul for if there pass long intervals betwixt the Priapising Feats and that thou make an intermission of too large a time that will befall thee which betides the Nurses if they desist from giving suck to Children they lose their Milk and if continually thou do not hold thy Aspersory Tool in exercise and keep thy Mental going thy Lacticinian Nectar will be gone and it will serve thee only as a Pipe to piss out at and thy Cods for a Wallet of lesser value then a Beggars Scrip. This is a certain truth I tell thee Friend and doubt not of it for my self have seen the sad experiment thereof in many who cannot now do what they would because before they did not what they might have done Ex desuetudine amittuntur Privilegia Non-usage oftentimes destroys ones Right say the learned Doctors of the Law therefore my Billy entertain as well as possibly thou canst that Hypogastrian lower sort of Troglodytick People that their chief pleasure may be placed in the case of sempiternal labouring Give order that henceforth they live not like adle Gentlemen idly upon their Rents and Revenues but that they may work for their Livelyhoood by breaking ground within the Paphian Trenches Nay truly answered Panurge Fryar Ihon my left Ballock I will believe thee for thou dealest plain with me and fallest down-right square upon the business without going about the Bush with frivolous circumstances and unnecessary reservations Thou with the splendour of a piercing Wit hast dissipated all the louring Clouds of anxious Apprehensions and Suspicions which did intimidate and terrifie me therefore the Heavens be pleased to grant to thee at all She-conflicts a stiff-standing Fortune Well then as thou hast said so will I do I will in good Faith Marry in that point there shall be no failing I promise thee and shall have
