"By swaggering could I never thrive, For the rain it raineth every day. Twelfth Night The transactions referred to by Caleb Garth as having gone forward between Mr. Bulstrode and Mr. Joshua Rigg Featherstone concerning the land attached to Stone Court, had occasioned the interchange of a letter or two between these personages. Who shall tell what may be the effect of writing?
The old king was now left with no other companion than the poor fool, who still abided with him, with his merry conceits striving to outjest misfortune, saying it was but a naughty night to swim in, and truly the king had better go in and ask his daughter's blessing: But he that has a little tiny wit With heigh ho, the wind and the rain, Must make content with his fortunes fit Though the rain it raineth every day,
