beast_n i_o be_o not_o of_o that_o opinion_n for_o that_o stand_v too_o long_o without_o stir_v or_o move_v but_o if_o you_o make_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o lie_v sleep_a that_o i_o hold_v withal_o you_o may_v also_o make_v image_n history_n or_o fable_n of_o marble_n or_o other_o matter_n against_o a_o wall_n but_o to_o represent_v the_o life_n they_o ought_v to_o stir_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o this_o book_n i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o to_o make_v they_o the_o satirical_a scene_n be_v to_o represent_v satyr_n wherein_o you_o must_v place_v all_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v rude_a and_o rustical_a as_o in_o ancient_a satire_n they_o be_v make_v plain_a without_o any_o respect_n whereby_o man_n may_v understand_v that_o such_o thing_n be_v refer_v to_o rush_n call_v people_n which_o set_v all_o thing_n out_o rude_o and_o plain_o for_o which_o cause_v vitrwius_fw-la speak_v of_o scene_n say_v they_o shall_v be_v make_v with_o tree_n rootes_n herb_n hill_n and_o flower_n and_o with_o some_o country_n house_n as_o you_o see_v they_o here_o set_v down_o and_o for_o that_o in_o our_o day_n these_o thing_n be_v make_v in_o winter_n when_o there_o be_v but_o few_o green_a tree_n herb_n and_o flower_n to_o be_v find_v then_o you_o must_v make_v these_o thing_n of_o silk_n which_o will_v be_v more_o commendable_a than_o the_o natural_a thing_n themselves_o and_o as_o in_o other_o scene_n for_o comedy_n or_o tragedy_n the_o house_n or_o other_o artificial_a thing_n be_v paint_v so_o you_o must_v make_v tree_n herb_n and_o other_o thing_n in_o these_o &_o the_o more_o such_o thing_n cost_v the_o more_o they_o be_v esteem_v for_o they_o be_v thing_n which_o stately_a and_o great_a person_n do_v which_o be_v enemy_n to_o nigardlinesse_n this_o have_v i_o see_v in_o some_o scene_n make_v by_o jeronimo_n genga_n for_o the_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n of_o his_o lord_n and_o patron_n francisco_n maria_n duke_n of_o urbin_n wherein_o i_o see_v so_o great_a liberality_n use_v by_o the_o prince_n and_o so_o good_a a_o conceit_n in_o the_o workman_n and_o so_o good_a art_n and_o proportion_n in_o thing_n therein_o represent_v as_o ever_o i_o see_v in_o all_o my_o life_n before_o oh_o good_a lord_n what_o magnificence_n be_v there_o to_o be_v see_v for_o the_o great_a number_n of_o tree_n and_o fruit_n with_o sundry_a herb_n and_o flower_n all_o make_v of_o fine_a silk_n of_o diverse_a colour_n the_o water_n course_n be_v adorn_v with_o frog_n snail_n tortuse_n toad_n adder_n snake_n and_o other_o beast_n root_n of_o corrale_n mother_n of_o pearl_n and_o other_o shell_n lay_v and_o thrust_v through_o between_o the_o stone_n with_o so_o many_o several_a and_o fair_a thing_n that_o if_o i_o shall_v declare_v they_o all_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v time_n enough_o i_o speak_v not_o of_o satyr_n nymph_n mer-maid_n diverse_a monster_n and_o other_o strange_a beast_n make_v so_o cunning_o that_o they_o seem_v in_o show_n as_o if_o they_o go_v and_o stir_v according_a to_o their_o manner_n and_o if_o i_o be_v not_o desirous_a to_o be_v brief_n i_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o costly_a apparel_n of_o some_o shepherd_n make_v of_o cloth_n of_o gold_n and_o of_o silk_n cunning_o mingle_v with_o embroidery_n i_o will_v also_o speak_v of_o some_o fisherman_n which_o be_v no_o less_o rich_o apparel_v then_o the_o other_o have_v net_n and_o angling-rod_n all_o gilr_n i_o shall_v speak_v of_o some_o country_n maid_n and_o nymph_n careless_o apparel_v without_o pride_n but_o i_o leave_v all_o these_o thing_n to_o the_o discretion_n and_o consideration_n of_o the_o indicious_a workman_n which_o shall_v make_v all_o such_o thing_n as_o their_o paitcon_n serve_v they_o which_o they_o must_v work_v after_o their_o own_o devise_n and_o never_o take_v care_n what_o it_o shall_v cost_v of_o artificial_a light_n of_o the_o scene_n i_o promise_v in_o the_o treatise_n of_o scene_n to_o set_v down_o the_o manner_n how_o to_o make_v these_o light_n shine_v through_o of_o diverse_a colour_n &_o first_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o a_o sure_a colour_n which_o be_v like_a to_o a_o zaphir_n and_o yet_o somewhat_o fair_a take_v a_o piece_n of_o salamoniacke_n and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o barber_n basin_n or_o such_o like_a thing_n and_o put_v water_n into_o it_o then_o bruise_v and_o crush_v the_o salamoniacke_n soft_o therein_o till_o it_o be_v all_o melt_a always_o put_v more_o water_n unto_o it_o as_o you_o desire_v to_o have_v it_o light_n or_o sad_a colour_n which_o do_v if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o fair_a and_o clear_a then_o strain_v it_o through_o a_o fine_a cloth_n into_o a_o other_o vessel_n and_o then_o it_o will_v be_v a_o clear_a celestial_a blue_a whereof_o you_o may_v make_v diverse_a kind_n of_o blue_a with_o water_n will_v you_o make_v a_o emerald_n colour_n than_o put_v some_o saffron_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o pale_a or_o high_a colour_v for_o here_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o prescribe_v you_o any_o weight_n or_o measure_n for_o that_o experience_n will_v teach_v you_o bow_n to_o do_v it_o if_o you_o will_v make_v a_o rubbie_a colour_n if_o you_o be_v in_o a_o place_n where_o you_o may_v have_v red_a wine_n than_o you_o need_v not_o use_v any_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o make_v it_o pall_v with_o water_n we_o need_v require_v but_o if_o you_o can_v get_v no_o wine_n then_o take_v brazill_n beat_v to_o powder_n &_o put_v it_o into_o a_o kettell_n of_o water_n with_o alum_n let_v it_o séethe_o and_o scum_n it_o well_o then_o strain_v it_o and_o use_v it_o with_o water_n and_o vinegar_n if_o you_o will_v counterfeit_v a_o ballaye_n you_o must_v make_v it_o of_o red_a and_o white_a wine_n mingle_v together_o but_o white_a wine_n alone_o will_v show_v like_o a_o topas_n or_o a_o crisolite_n the_o conduit_n or_o common_a water_n be_v strain_a will_v be_v like_o a_o diamond_n and_o to_o do_v this_o well_o you_o must_v upon_o a_o glassy_a ground_n frame_v certain_a point_n or_o tablet_n and_o fill_v they_o with_o water_n the_o manner_n to_o set_v these_o shine_a colour_n in_o their_o place_n in_o thus_o behind_o the_o paint_a house_n wherein_o these_o paint_a colour_n shall_v stand_v you_o must_v set_v a_o thin_a board_n cut_v out_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o these_o light_n shall_v be_v place_v whether_o it_o be_v round_o or_o square_a corner_a or_o o●●le_a like_o a_o egg_n and_o behind_o the_o same_o board_n there_o shall_v be_v another_o strong_a board_n lay_v flat_a behind_o they_o for_o the_o bottle_n and_o other_o manner_n of_o glass_n with_o these_o water_n to_o stand_v in_o must_v be_v place_v against_o the_o hole_n as_o it_o shall_v necessary_o fall_v out_o but_o they_o must_v be_v set_v fast_o lest_o they_o fall_v with_o leap_v and_o dance_v of_o the_o moriscoe_n and_o behind_o the_o glass_n you_o must_v set_v great_a lamp_n that_o the_o light_n may_v also_o be_v steadfast_a and_o if_o the_o bottle_n or_o other_o vessel_n of_o glass_n on_o the_o side_n where_o the_o light_n stand_v be_v flat_a or_o rather_o hollow_a it_o will_v show_v the_o clear_a and_o the_o colour_n most_o excellent_a and_o fair_a the_o like_a must_v be_v do_v with_o the_o hole_n on_o the_o shorten_n side_n but_o if_o you_o need_v a_o great_a light_n to_o show_v more_o than_o the_o rest_n than_o set_v a_o torch_n behind_o and_o behind_o the_o torch_n a_o bright_a basin_n the_o brightness_n whereof_o will_v show_v like_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n you_o may_v also_o make_v glass_n of_o all_o colour_n and_o form_n some_o four_o square_n some_o with_o cross_n &_o any_o other_o form_n with_o their_o light_n behind_o they_o now_o all_o the_o light_n serve_v for_o the_o colour_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o same_o which_o must_v light_v the_o scene_n for_o you_o must_v have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o torch_n before_o the_o scene_n you_o may_v also_o place_v certain_a candlestick_n above_o the_o scene_n with_o great_a candle_n therein_o and_o above_o the_o candlestick_n you_o may_v place_v some_o vessel_n with_o water_n wherein_o you_o may_v put_v a_o piece_n of_o camphir_n which_o burn_v will_v show_v a_o very_a good_a light_n and_o smell_v well_o sometime_o it_o may_v chance_v that_o you_o must_v make_v some_o thing_n or_o other_o which_o shall_v seem_v to_o burn_v which_o you_o must_v wet_v thorough_o with_o excellent_a good_a aquavite_n and_o set_v it_o on_o fire_n with_o a_o candle_n it_o will_v burn_v all_o over_o and_o although_o i_o can_v speak_v more_o of_o these_o fire_n yet_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o this_o time_n &_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o some_o thing_n that_o be_v please_v to_o the_o beholder_n the_o while_n that_o the_o scene_n be_v empty_a of_o personage_n than_o the_o workman_n
