none at all 6 'T is a great ioy to haue such a King That knowes what belongs to good gouerning 7 Goe when that thou wilt the planets agrée That thou shalt returne with prosperitie 8 He shall feele the paines of most cruell death By strength of his youth in parting with breath 9 To make stay it were great folly certaine Except in the place where you shall be tane 10 A Kentish man will be good and serue long But take héed in th' end he doe thee no wrong 11 Neuer expect in him vertue at all For his good conditions are very small 12 Make store of corne and wine this present yeare For they are like to be scarce and very deare Quatillorety 1 Of flesh and corne this yeere will be plenty But Spice and Tobacco will be daintie 2 This Iudge of himselfe is gentle and good Except be sometime in his angry moode 3 Thou shalt haue no harme nor no losse thereby If thou pretend truth and deale vprightly 4 Let not by all meanes to try and proue him Yet the more he sweares the lesse beléeue him 5 I maruell of this man that enuieth none Also of enemies he hath not one 6 None can esteeme the worth of poore mens loue Till by some Iust cause their strengths thou do proue 7 Of rash common people the sudden strength Doth proue barbarous and vnhumane at length 8 The time is not good nor yet will not be To begin thy iourney beleeue thou me 9 He shall liue and last so old out of doubt That like to a candle he shall goe out 10 To tell thee it grieues me thou shalt not obtaine To get the thing thou hast sought with such paine 11 In all places some good seruants there be Yet to get a good one 't is hard you sée 12 This child is marked with a fortunate signe To be amorous pleasant and very fine Permusbecuoch 1 This child doth put me in very good minde That he shall loue vertue and learning by kinde 2 Oyle wine and corne as to me doth appeare Shall be great plenty and good cheape this yeare 3 This iudge is wise but 't is for his owne good Giuen to lucre and a bribing moode 4 Fortune determines as she doth me tell That thou shalt gaine by this thing very well 5 Beleeue what he saies for this I am sure That to tell a lie he will not endure 6 There is a huge great number of thy foes That haue plotted against thee God he knowes 7 Those that be poore and loue thee but for gaine If thou be not franke will not long remaine 8 Sometimes princes sonnes of the Royall blood Not like their fathers proue vpright and good 9 It is now high time for thée to soiourne If thou intend soone with ioy to returne 10 Though he be yong and liue delicately Yet by surfet he shall dye suddenly 11 Thy enterprise is farre for thee to
ended But some by his words shall be sore offended 7 The father like a man hath plaid his part And shall haue manie children for his desart 8 Each one that is wise must néedes easily know That sure it is his and I too say so 9 The yongest shall be wise and prouident And nothing like the other negligent 10 Thy forward spirit perswades thée of truth That thou shalt haue great riches in thy youth 11 He shall neuer possesse abilitie Either to trafficke or any studie 12 To dissemble a while put thou in vre He is not ouercome that doth endure Gepathom 1 The time shall fit thée or ere it be long To haue due reuenge of this thy great wrong 2 This loue shall last long without suspition If they can liue quiet with discretion 3 Vnder his grace and royall maiestie All his subiects shall liue most quietly 4 This dreame which so much doth trouble thée still Beléeue importeth neither good nor well 5 He is subtill and wise and knowes which way To take a good course without all delay 6 He that cunningly séekes vnto the end In bréefe he shall the partie easely finde 7 He is craftie I discerne by his nose And will say little troth as I suppose 8 They shall haue children for both loue letcherie And their barnes shall be inclind to trechery 9 Beléeue it you may and be not dismaide For all is true the mother hath said 10 The youngest of all by his iudgement sound Shall be rich and gaine him ten thousand pound 11 So soone as thou first dost take any paines Thy house shal be fild with profit and gaines 12 If he could be brought to follow learning It were for him the best and onely thing Segenon 1 Cause him to goe and learne at grammer schoole For he shall prooue a scholler and no foole 2 He is arrested vpon suspition And again releast on smal condition 3 The femals loue is most constant and true But his is not such I dare well tell you 4 This King shall be serued with feare and loue For so his royall déedes doe him approoue 5 As I vnderstand by this lots pretence Thou maist doe thy busines with diligence 6 It is no poyson charme or witcherie But onely a sicknesse of infirmitie 7 There is no such sport as to hunt and chase And follow the game to th' end of the race 8 He shall neuer be quiet for ought I can sée Giue credit to this and beléeue you me 9 I beleeue that they both beyond excesse Are greatly inclind to couetousnesse 10 Liue he or die he take you no great care For of all his goods you shall haue no share 11 Seeke yet againe farther for true it is I am not now verie well pleasd with this 12 Neither by destinie vertue nor art Thou shalt not obtaine of wealth to haue part Sachaell 1 He shall haue of goods great plentie and store Or else this his fortune doth lie the more 2 Euerie profession that 's honest and true Shall fit his humour I dare assure you 3 In bréefe he is like to be set at large By some friends that will vndergoe the charge 4 Vnto this louer I must giue great blame For his so too couldly louing the dame 5 Among his subiects he shall be estéemed Because to doe well he is not ashamed 6 Of this presage there is at all no doubt But that in th' end it will fall well out 7 He is sicke and no poyson doth harme him Therefore giue Phisicke séeke not to charme him 8 T' is better in th' aire then in the woodes to range And so will the sport be pleasant and strange 9 He shall soone againe his libertie haue In spight of his foes that otherwise craue 10 There is some cause if the woman make stay For otherwise there would be no delay 11 The man that dying will make stay for none Is like to goe hence by himselfe alone 12 He loues thée well but thou deseruest not all Be thou then to him faithfull and loyall Meleon 1 In him there is at all no confidence Therefore put thou in him no assurance 2 All that euer by Art he doth obtaine By great folly he spends the same againe 3 Physicke is his sole chiefe delight indéede For that is the Science hee most doth reede 4 T will be very hard a way for to finde To get him libertie this is my minde 5 The one doth loue well so much I descry The other loues too but 't is but to lye 6 He shall of his Subiects be loued euermore Because he increaseth their treasure store 7 I plaine perceiue by this present presage That it intendeth thy losse and damage 8 A preseruatiue you needs must giue him If you of poison intend to relieue him 9 T is great pleasure in the Forrest to see The fierce wilde bore hunted most gallantly 10 The contrarie partie he is so great That hardly he will his libertie get 11 The husband is wonderfully too hot So the wife must stay till a time may be got 12 To dispose his geare it is great reason For now to depart 't is almost season Segatoy 1 If he keepe himselfe from excesses fit He may liue very long and not die yet 2 The friend that thou didst get and last obtaine Shall loue thée sure best and be most certaine 3 Such strange aduenture shall vnto him chance As vnto great riches shall him aduance 4 His inclination spirit and minde Is all and onely to musicke inclin'd 5 He shall carrie himselfe so well and wisely That he shall soone come forth at libertie 6 These two louers so farre as I can see Associate in loue and amitie 7 This King the patterne of liberalitie Beloued is of the communaltie 8 I sée that this thy demand doth pretend Or ere it be long the death of some friend 9 Of poison giuen him he doth not dye Yet how he came by it I know not truely 10 These Damsels desire no other delight Then in the high soaring faulcons flight 11 A good louing friend shall him so sustaine That in the end he shall returne againe 12 The damme is daintie yet 't is not her fault But her owne good mans if she turne to naught Syraboy 1 He may her well court and the damsell woo The diuell a thing she will let him doe 2 This shall liue long in health assuredly And then his naturall death he shall dye 3 His loue is true and of honest intent Himselfe zealous and very continent 4 By a fine wit slight cunning Art and skill Obtaine great riches surely he will 5 He loues Philosophy and of each thing To know the effect is his studying 6 He is so hated as cannot be told Which will sticke by him vntill he be old 7 The louers heart is wauering and doth sore But she for courage is a great deale more 8 His subiects with ease may ioifully sing And euery day say God
