Pope Julius the second, however he serv'd himself of the name of Liberal, to get the Papacy, yet never intended he to continue it, to the end he might be able to make war against the King of France: and he made so many wars without imposing any extraordinary tax, because his long thrift supplyed his large expences.
The Lamprey, they say, hath a venemous string runs all along the back of it; take that out, and it is serv'd in for a choyce dish to dainty palates; Epictetus the Philosopher, sayes, Every thing hath two handles, as the fire brand, it may be taken up at one end in the bare hand without hurt: the other being laid hold on, will cleave to the very flesh, and the smart of it will pierce even to the heart.
Hum hum very noble, i'faith, we'll e'en confess our loves too, Isabella. Isa. S'life, he'll spoil all, hold pray let your Betters be serv'd before you. Guil. How! Is the Honour of my Love despised? wer't not i'th presence of the Great Turk, for whom I have a reverence because he's a man of quality by Jove, I'd draw upon you. Isa. Because you were my Lover once, when I'm Queen I'll pardon you.
Eumolpus cou'd not endure to see free-born men against all law and justice so abus'd, and returning their threats with blows, not only was our advocate but champion too. He was seconded by his man, and two or three sick passengers appear'd our friends, that serv'd rather to encourage us, than encrease our force.
Lab. Yes, Sir, before I serv'd you, and since too: I Am provok'd to give you proofs on't sometimes; For when I am angry I am a very Hector. Fal. Ay, the Devil when a body's angry, but that's Not the Valour in mode; Men fight now a-days Without that, and even embrace whilst they draw Their Swords on one another. Lab. Ay, Sir, those are Men that despise their lives. Fal.
Hum, and has the Devil serv'd me thus? but no matter, I must be gadding, like an old Coxcomb, to Cadiz, and then, jaunting to Sea, with a Pox, to take pains to be a Cuckold, to bring my Wife into a strange Land, amongst Unbelievers, with a vengeance, as if we had not honest Christian Cuckold-makers enough at home; Sot that I was, not to consider how many Merchants have been undone by trusting their Commodities out at Sea; why, what a damn'd ransom will the Rogues exact from me, and more for my Wife, because she's handsome; and then, 'tis ten to one, I have her turned upon my hands the worse for wearing; oh, damn'd Infidels! no, 'tis resolv'd, I'll live a Slave here, rather than enrich them.
Lord! what would I give that I had a Latin letter of his for you, that he writ to a great friend at Oxford, where he gives him a long and learned character of me; 'twould serve you to laugh at this seven years. But you do not tell me yet how you found him out. If I had gone about to conceal him, I had been sweetly serv'd.
I was so frightened, lest the lady should be angry, that I did not look again till the next watch; and then," turning the leaf, "I found this." Ludlow took the bit of paper first offered, and read, written in a child's hand, the following extract: "I pray thee Remember, I have done thee worthy service; Told thee no lies, made no mistakings, serv'd Without or grudge or grumblings."
To keep Wild-Ducks fresh. Draw them, and fill the Body with red Sage, after the inside is well pepper'd; and likewise pepper the inside of the Mouth, leave on the Feathers. A Goose may be serv'd the same way.
Friday, Went again, about 7. a-clock; found there Mr. John Walley and his wife: sat discoursing pleasantly. Madam W. serv'd Comfeits to us. I urg'd Mr. Walley to Crave a Blessing; but he put it upon me. About 9. they went away. I ask'd Madam what fashioned Neck-lace I should present her with, She said, None at all.
