He would have con you small thank for that. But, how did our Lord Apollo look upon you all this while? methought he put his hand toward his quiver, and withal, shaked his golden locks. Then thought I, 'twas time for me to glide down lower, and talk of Lady Luna. Mistress Moon (quoth I) what is her monthly task, but to run a gossiping throughout all the twelve signs in the high street of the Zodiac?. The sign of the Ram, the Bull: the Lion, and the rest, they are Taverns set up by Bacchus, for the gods to feast in. Are they not?. She knocks at every door, & tarries two days at the least in each of those houses. And as the Sun courts her, she makes curtsies in her round walk, sometimes bashfully putting on her Mask. That is in conjunction. Otherwhile she shows her half face very demurely. Half moon; like my cheese. And after that appears her broad Owls face, to allure Endymion to be in love with her. The Shepherd with the bush of thorns has prevented sleepy Endymion, and gotten up thite before him. The waves in the sea, what do they, but play at truss and leapfrog on one another's back? The winds in the are perform one perpetual exercise, and that is blowpoint. Sometimes they blowest the points of steeples, and this is a very high point, worth consideration. They play very merrily: and therefore we often hear them ●g and whistle. Leave of now your rehearsal Ludio. Why prated you of the stars and windes? What's this to you, and to those creatures that have bound themselves to the school trade? do the Mules play? Yes undoubtedly, the Nine Muses play at Nineholes: every Muse hath her hole Yes, and every Hate hath her Muse. But what then becomes of the ten hee? That's a great one for Apollo their Master and ours. Thinkst tou, that Apollo will bee mooued with these reasons, to let such a vemine harbour in the pigeon house the M? do you think that I will suck their eggs? Do I look like a su● 〈◊〉? I am sure the Auditory did entertain thy speech with the sign of approbation▪ hum, hum, hum. That was 〈◊〉 but the yonger sort, and those that stood at the lower end of the Session hall. I am much 〈◊〉 taken if Apollo himself did not in the end hum and 〈◊〉. I think rather Apollo frowned on you. I think rather that Mercury frowned on me. Why Mercury? he is not there. I'll tell thee, honest Thuriger, Whilst I was in the hair of my pleading, some Villain, borne under the Planet Mercury, nims away my satchel that lay behind me. What loss suffered you in that vessel? The Shipwreck of all my best household-stuff, and tools of my trade. What think you, Thuriger, does this forebode ill luck to me?.
