hubbub_n to_o see_v one_o of_o these_o old_a antiquity_n i_o mean_v a_o lady_n that_o be_v so_o far_o spend_v in_o year_n that_o she_o be_v ready_a for_o the_o grave_n and_o more_o wisdom_n for_o

discontent_n so_o they_o use_v to_o give_v the_o hubbub_n again_o in_o matter_n of_o sport_n and_o merriment_n and_o there_o be_v not_o a_o people_n under_o the_o face_n of_o heaven_n that_o will_v

conceit_v to_o jest_v and_o to_o scoff_n when_o they_o find_v occasion_n so_o they_o have_v as_o great_a facility_n in_o weep_v as_o stanhurst_n a_o famous_a man_n among_o they_o for_o his_o

in_o appearance_n whereof_o as_o he_o suppose_v grow_v this_o proverb_n to_o weep_v irish_a myself_o be_o partly_o of_o his_o opinion_n that_o indeed_o to_o weep_v irish_a be_v to_o weep_v at_o pleasure_n without_o either_o cause_n or_o grief_n when_o it_o be_v a_o usual_a matter_n among_o they_o upon_o the_o burial_n of_o their_o dead_a to_o hire_v a_o company_n of_o woman_n that_o for_o some_o small_a recompense_n give_v they_o they_o will_v follow_v the_o corpse_n and_o furnish_v out_o the_o cry_n as_o master_n stanhurst_n have_v say_v with_o such_o howl_n and_o barbarous_a outcry_n that_o he_o that_o shall_v but_o hear_v they_o and_o do_v not_o know_v the_o ceremony_n will_v rather_o think_v they_o do_v sing_v then_o weep_v such_o a_o brutish_a kind_n of_o lamentation_n as_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o man_n that_o shall_v but_o hear_v and_o do_v not_o know_v their_o custom_n will_v think_v it_o to_o be_v some_o prodigious_a presagement_n prognosticate_a some_o unlucky_a or_o ill_a success_n as_o they_o use_v to_o attribute_v to_o the_o howl_n of_o dog_n to_o the_o croak_n of_o raven_n and_o the_o shriek_v of_o owl_n fit_a for_o infidel_n and_o barbarian_n then_o to_o be_v in_o use_n and_o custom_n among_o christian_n and_o yet_o in_o dublin_n itself_o there_o be_v not_o a_o corpse_n carry_v to_o the_o burial_n which_o be_v not_o follow_v with_o this_o

the_o proverb_n to_o weep_v irish_a so_o that_o it_o appear_v how_o the_o irish_a have_v wit_n and_o discretion_n both_o to_o weep_v when_o they_o list_v and_o to_o laugh_v at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o i_o be_o glad_a of_o it_o for_o i_o will_v make_v a_o little_a bold_a to_o borrow_v some_o of_o their_o agility_n yet_o not_o to_o weep_v without_o a_o cause_n for_o that_o be_v right_a to_o weep_v irish_a but_o to_o laugh_v and_o to_o give_v the_o hubbub_n when_o i_o see_v a_o cause_n and_o neither_o to_o forbear_v irish_a nor_o english_a for_o we_o daily_o see_v the_o pride_n the_o

that_o when_o her_o husband_n be_v hang_v on_o the_o forenoon_n she_o fall_v a_o weep_n in_o the_o afternoon_n and_o do_v lament_v with_o such_o vehement_a show_n of_o sorrow_n that_o her_o

manner_n of_o his_o death_n be_v somewhat_o disgraceful_a to_o the_o world_n yet_o they_o wish_v she_o to_o play_v a_o wise_a woman_n part_n and_o not_o to_o take_v such_o grief_n whereby_o to_o

hurt_v myself_o by_o play_v too_o much_o the_o fool_n neither_o do_v i_o take_v this_o grief_n barefoot_a for_o that_o my_o husband_n be_v hang_v but_o for_o that_o he_o be_v not_o hang_v in_o a_o
