Proceed Sir. Do not I know Paris, it was built by the youngest Son Of King Priam, and was called by his name, yet some Call it Lutetia, because the gentlewomen there Play so well upon the Lute. What a Rascal is this? Here I observed many remarkable buildings, as the University, which some call the Loure, where the Students made very much of me, and carried me To the Bear-garden, where I saw a play on the Bankside, a very pretty Comedy called Martheme, In London. Is't possible? But there be no such Comedians as we have here, Yet the women are the best Actors, they play Their own parts, a thing much desired in England By some Ladies, inns a Court Gentlemen, and others, But that by the way. See Sir. I had stayed longer there, but I was offended with a Villainous scent of Onions, which the wind brought from St. Omers. Onions would make you sleep well. But the scent 'tis not to be endured, I smelled On 'em when I came to Rome, and hardly scaped the Inquisition for't. Were you at Rome too Signior. 'tis in my way to Venice, I'll tell you Madam I was very Loath to leave their country. Which Country? Where was I last? In France. Right, for I had a very good Inn, where mine Host Was a notable good fellow, and a Cardinal. How a Cardinal, oh impudence. Oh the catches we sang, and his wife a pretty woman, And one that warms a bed one o'th' best in Europe. Did you ever hear the like. I did before suspect him. But mine Host. The Cardinal. Right, had a shrewd pate, and his ears were something O'th' longest, for one upon the oath of a w— Walloon that— from Spain to the Low- Countries, and the other from Lapland into Germany. Say you so? A perilous head, and yet loving to his guests, As mine host Banks, as red in the gills, and as merry A— but anger him, and he sets all Christendom Together by the ears, well shortly after I left France, and sailing along the Alps, I came to Lombardy, where I left my cloak, for it was very Hot travelling, and went a Pilgrim to Rome Where I saw the Tombs, and a Play in Pompey's Theater, here I was kindly entertained by an anchorite, In whose chamber I lay, and drink Cider.
