WhoEVER will both well read and look
*He may find written in old book*
*Of great lords and also ladies* ,
That had many children together, y-wisse; (certainly)
And had no income to keep them with,
Neither in town nor field nor frith; (enclosed wood)
A council together they could them take,
To ordain for these children's sake,
How they might best lead their life
Without great dis-ease, care, and strife;
And most for the multitude that was coming
Of their children after their ending
They send them after great CLERKS,
To teach them then good works;
.
And pray we them, for our Lord's sake.
To our children some work to make,
That they might get their living thereby,
Both well and *HONESTly* full securely.
In that time, through good geometry,
This *HONEST CRAFT of good MASONRY*
Was ordained and made in this MANNER,
Counterfeited of these CLERKs together;
At these lord's prayers they counterfeited geometry,
And gave it the name of *MASONRY* ,
For the most *HONEST CRAFT* of all.
These lords' children thereto did fall,
To learn of him the *CRAFT* of geometry,
The which he made *full CURIOUSLY* ;
.
Through fathers' prayers and mothers' also,
This *HONEST CRAFT* he put them to.
He learned best, and was of *HONESTy*,
And passed his *FELLOWs in CURIOSITY* ,
If in that *CRAFT* he did him pass,
He should have more worship than the lasse, (less)
This great CLERK's name was Euclid,
His name it spread full wonder wide.
Yet this great CLERK ordained he
To him that was higher in this degree,
That he should teach the simplest of wit
In that *HONEST CRAFT* to be *PARFYTTE*;

. Aubrey on Francis Bacon: Viscount St. Albans
http://fly.hiwaay.net/~paul/bacon/biographies/aubrey.html
.
[Francis Bacon] was wont to say to his servant Hunt (who was a
notable thrifty man and loved this World, and the only Servant
he had that he could *nEVER* gett *to become BOUND* for him)
The World was made for man, Hunt, and not man for the World.
Hunt left *an estate of £1000 per annum* in Somerset
. None of his servants durst appeare before him
. without Spanish LEATHER bootes;
.
for he would smelle the *NEATES LEATHER* , which offended him.

. JULIUS CAESAR Act 1, Scene 1
.
*TRULY* , sir, all that I live by is with the awl:
I meddle with no tradesman's matters, nor women's
. matters, but with awl. I am, indeed, sir,
. a surgeon to old shoes;
. when they are in great danger, I rEcoVER them.
As proper men as *EVER trod upon NEAT's LEATHER*
have gone upon my handiwork.
-----------------------------------------------------
STEPHANO (on Trinculo):
.
This is some MONSTER of the isle with four legs,
who hath got, as I take it, an ague. Where the dEVIL
should he learn our language? I will give him some
relief, if it be but for that. if I can rEcoVER
him and keep him tame and get to Naples with him,
. he's a present for any emperor
. that *EVER trod on NEAT'S LEATHER* .

. The Tempest Act 1, Scene 2
.
Mira. O my HEART bleedes
To thinke oth' teene that I haue turn'd you to,
Which is from my remembrance, please you, farther;
.
Pros. My BROTHER and thy vncle, call'd Anthonio:
I pray thee marke me, that a BROTHER should
Be so perfidious: he, whom next thy selfe
Of all the world I lou'd, and to him put
The mannage of my state, as at that time
Through all the signories it was the first,
And Prospero, the prime Duke, being so reputed
In dignity; and for the liberall Artes,
Without a paralell; those being all my studie,
The GOUERnment I cast vpon my brother,
And to my State grew STRANGER, being transported
And rapt in secret studies, thy false vncle
(Do'st thou attend me?)
.
Mira. Sir, most heedefully.
.
Pros. Being once *PERFECTED* how to graunt suites,
how to deny them: who t'aduance, and who
To trash for OUER-topping; new created
[T]he creatures that were mine, I say, or chang'd 'em,
[O]r els *new form'd 'em* ; hauing both the key,
[O]f OFFICER, and office, set all HEARTs i'th state
[T]o what tune *pleas'd his EARE* , that now he was
The Iuy which had hid my princely Trunck,
And *SUCKT my VERDurE* out on't: Thou attend'st not?
.
Mira. O good Sir, I doe.
.
Pros. I pray thee marke me:
I thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated
To closenes, and the bettering of my mind
with that, which but by being so retir'd
Ore-priz'd all popular rate: in my false brother
Awak'd an *EUILL NATURE* , and my trust
Like a good parent, did beget of him
A falsehood in it's contrarie, as great
As my trust was, which had indeede no limit,
A confidence sans bound. He being thus Lorded,
Not onely with what my REUEnew yeelded,
But what my power might els exact. Like one
Who hauing into *TRUTH* , by telling of it,
Made such a synner of his memorie
To credite his owne lie, he did beleeue
He was indeed the Duke, out o'th'Substitution
And executing th'outward face of Roialtie
With all prerogatiue: hence his Ambition growing:
*DO'ST THOU HEARE* ?
.
Mira. Your tale, Sir, would cure *DEAFenesse* .

Though by your zeal, FORTUNE, you keep perfidy's
murmurs & schemings at a distance, nonetheless I learn
(at which my mind & EAR quake) that our bodies have
been *DEAFened with respect to EVIL* affairs. Indeed,
I perceive men who come close to CATiline in DECEPTION†
*FREEing other men's FATES BY THEIR DEATH*
.
† CATiline was the rabble-rouser suppressed by Cicero.
His name became a watchword for incendiary troublemakers.>>
