. Don Quixote, which may be held for an Adventure
..........................................
‘Resolve us, body of me,’ quoth Sancho, ‘and tell me what we shall have,
and leave you your running, mine host.’

The host said,’ The *VERY TRUTH* is, I have two *NEATS’ feet* like calves’ feet,
or two calves’ feet like *NEATS’ feet*; they are sod with their pease, *BACON*,
and onions; and just at this instant cry, Come eat me, come eat me.’

‘For mine I mark them henceforward,’ quoth Sancho,
‘and let no man touch them, for I’ll pay more for them than anybody else,
and there could have been no better meat for me in the world.’

kept a diary of what he encountered during his travels,

And one of an old gentleman, a batchelor, *Mr. COMBE*, upon whose
name the sayd poet did merrily fann up some witty and facetious
verses, which time would nott give us leave to sacke up.
--------------------------------------------------------
Greek political satires were written that ridiculed
Pericles' *non-aristocratic* successor:
the war-mongering demagogue *CLEON* .
.
thE WaSPS [Sphekes] (422 BC) Philonides
thE KnigHts. (424 BC) Aristophanes
thE AchARnians (425 BC) Callistratus
.
But Philonides & Callistratus were
pseudonym/front men used by Aristophanes.
.
Unfortunately, Aristophanes was unable to hide behind
a pseudonym in _The Knights_ because Aristophanes,
himself, was *forced to play the CLEON character*
(a scheming *PAPHLAGONIAN LEATHER-MONGER* )
after EVERyone else refused.
.
(We know for certain that this character was
intended to be *CLEON* because *CLEON's father*
.
. . Cleaenetus was, in fact, *A TANNER* .)
------------------------------------------------------
. _The Knights_ (424 BC) by Aristophanes
......................................................
NICIAS How loudly the *PAPHLAGONIAN FARTS* and snores!
. I was able to seize the sacred oracle, which he was
. guarding with the greatest care, without his seeing me.
......................................................
SAUSAGE-SELLER: VERy well!
. it was *CLEON* who had caused the price to fall so low,
. that all might eat it, and the jurymen in the Courts were
. almost asphyxiated from *FARTING* in each others' faces.
.
DEMOS: Hah! why, indeed, a *DUNGTOWNITE* told me the same thing.
.
SAUSAGE-SELLER: Were you not yourself in those days
. quite red in the gills with *FARTING*?
.
DEMOS: Why, it was a trick *WORTHY* of Pyrrhandrus!

Joseph Barnes published the only English edition of Aristophanes
prior to 1640, a Greek edition published in *OXENford* in 1593.
.........................................................
*OZONE* is derived from the Greek *OXEiN* meaning *to SMELL*

<<This Earle of Oxford, making his *LOW* obeisance to Queen
Elizabeth, happened to let a FART, at which he was so
abashed and ashamed that he went to Travell, *7 yeares* .

My Lord, I had forgott the FART.>> -- John Aubrey

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Coke
.
<<*SIR edward COKE* ("Cook") (1 Feb. 1552 – 3 Sept. 1634) was an
English jurist & Member of Parliament whose writings on the common
law were the definitive legal texts for nearly 150 years. Born into
a family of minor Norfolk gentry, Coke was eventually being appointed
Solicitor General and then Attorney General by Queen Elizabeth. As
Attorney General, Coke famously prosecuted Sir Walter Raleigh and the
Gunpowder Plot conspirators for treason. In 1606, Coke was made Chief
Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, later being elevated, in 1613,
to Lord Chief Justice of England. Despite his 1616 dismissal from
the bench, Coke remained an influential political figure, leading
parliamentary opposition to the Crown in the 1620s. His career in
parliament culminated in 1628 when he acted as one of the primary
authors of the Petition of Right. This document reaffirmed the
rights of Englishmen and prevented the Crown from infringing them.
In later times, both English reformers and American Patriots, such
as John Lilburne, James Otis, and John Adams, used Coke's writings
to support their conceptions of inviolable civil liberties.>>
