�JOSEPH'S
FIRST'DREAM,
In Canaan lived a man of righteousness.
Whom the great God in love was pleas'd to bless
With twelve sweet sons, one Joseph called by n a m
Whose worthiness we'll to the world proclaim,
Being endued with blessings from above,
He gained the favour of his father's love,
Now while his brothers hated him, behold!
He dream'd a dream, which unto them he told ;
Saving, " As we were binding in the field
Our sheaves of wheat, it was to me revealed
That mine arose upright, and jours around,
Stood making low obedience to the ground."
These words of his, they did anger breed ;
They say, must you reign over us indeed ?
The like of this was never known before,
Thus for his dreams they hated him the more.
�i
H I S SECOND D R E
Soon after this as Joseph sleeping ' ,
Free from the toils and troubles of the day,
He dreamed a second dream, and told the samp
Unto his brothers, as to them he came ;
Saying, in sleep appeared before my eyes,
The sun, the moon, the seven stars likewise.
All making their obedience unto me,
With meek and humble humility.
He told it likewise to his father dear,
Who chid him, saying, what is this I hear ?
Must I, thy mother, and thy brothers too,
Be all obliged to bow the knee to you,
Low on the earth, as if you reigned and rul©<J 2
TTis very hard that aged parents should
A meek and lowly veneration pay
To you who ought to honour and obey.
�f
HE IS PUT INTO A PIT.
This very paragraph will clearly show
How they did seek young Joseph's overthrow,
His father sent him to the rural plain,
Where with their flocks his brothers did remain.
When afar off young Joseph they espied,
Behold, here comes the dreamer now, they cried
Let us conclude to take his life away,
And cast him in a pit without delay,
Then see how all his dreams will come to pass:
But Reuben, Reuben pitied him, alas!
And hid him in the pit, there to remain,
Till he might safe conduct him home again.
What mortal man is able to express,
Poor Joseph's grief when in the wilderness
He lay confined ? no doubt his present tears
Caused his youthful eyes to flow with tears.
�*
H E IS SOLD I N T O E G Y P T .
While in the pit young Joseph lay confined,
They sat them down to eat, and ere they dined
Some Ishmaelites from Egypt passed by ; *
Then Judah made his brothers this reply,
" What shall it profit to us now, I pray,
If we should take this precious life away ?"
They all consented to the same with speed,
For loth they were to see their brother bleed.
Then from the lonesome pit the child they drew,
And sold him to those trading merchants, who
A score of silver pieces for him paid,
And then to Egypt he was soon conveyed.
When Reuben found him not, how did he grieve
The rest contrive their father to deceive,
By staining Joseph's coat with purple blood,
Which caused poor Joseph many a weeping fk*wL
�TEMFTED BY POTIPHAR'S
WIFE.
When Joseph to the land of Egypt came,
One Potiphar a man of noted fame,
Bought him with silver and preferred him straight.
Making him steward of his whole estate.
On whom his mistress cast her wanton eyes,
And he reproved her, and said, be wise,
And cast, henceforth, these idle thoughts away—
How can I do that wicked thing, I pray ?
N c v finding her entreaties would not do,
She went to seize him, but away he lew,
Leaving his garment in her hand also :
Now from that time she proved his mortal f o e :
She said, my lord, (when he returned at night,)
Thy Hebrew strove with all his might,
To mock thy lady, but was ne'er the near,
I cried, he fled, and left his garment her©.
�8
C A S T INTO T H E DUNGEON.
No sooner had she made this false report
Of Joseph's coming in so vile a sort,
But Potiphar immediately he flew
Into a sad and cruel passion too,
And cast him into prison where he lay
Till the chief butler and the baker, they
By Pharaoh's strict command were sent to be
Confined from their former liberty.
The baker and the butler both, wo
find
[mind,
With dreams one night were much disturbed in
When they to Joseph did themselves apply,
He told them what their dreams did signify ;
One he restores unto his former place,
The other, he must die in sad disgrace;
The butler must his former place supply,
The baker by the laws be doomed to die*
�9
H E W M A D E L Q B D OF T H E L A N D .
Still Joseph lay confined in prison fast,
Until two tedious years were gone and past.
A t length Pharaoh dreamed, but none in the land
Could his dream interpret or understand.
Then the chief butler to the king did say,
" 1 needs must own my faults this d a y :
In prison lies a Hebrew servant there,
Who will the truth of all your dreams declare:
Then from a prison to a palace straight,
Joseph was brought, and Pharoah did relate
His dreams, and did full satisfaction find,
Which eased the grief and anguish ©f his m i n d :
He gave such satisfaction to the king,
That from his royal hand he drew a ring,
And gave it Joseph, saying, " Thou shalfc bs
Hext to myself in royal dignity." v
�R E N GOIN& TO B U Y CORK.
Behold the dreams of Pharoah did forte! 1,
A mighty famine, which at length befell;
Joseph in Egypt was head ruler oyer all;
But when his brothers came, and seemed to fall
Before him, straight his dreams came in his mind.
Yet he spoke rough, and seemed most unkind :
You're spies said he, they answered, no,
We are true men, my lord, pray say not so,
Sons of one man, we twelve in number were,
The youngest now under his father's care
Remains at home, the other he is not,
He knew them, yet his anger seemed hot,
And for three days they were in prison cast,
Confined they lay, yet Joseph came at last,
And laid upon them all a strict command,
To bring their young brother out of hand.
�I!
BENJAMIN'S
SACK.
When they had eaten np th
lender store
Jacob he needs must send them down for more ;
But knowing that his youngest son must go,
His eyes with melting tears did overflow.
With presents then they did return again,
4nd Joseph dotli them kindly entertain.
When he his brother Benjamin beheld,
His bowels yearned, his heart with joy was filled
But here's a grief which did them all surround,
The nightly lord, his silver cup was found
On Benjamin ; this made them sore afraid,
That for that crime they would be captives made
Then to the house of Joseph they returned,
Judah he pleaded, till his bowels yearned,
To be a captive in his brother's room,
Lest he should see his father's threatened doo
�12
JOSEPH D E C L A R E T H
HIMSELF.
" My lord, hear thy servant now I pray,
Our father, when we brought the child away
Expressed such grief and sorrow for his sake,
That if he stay, his aged heart will break:
Seeing his tears, which fell like showers of rain,
I promised then he should return again.
Therefore, viiy lord, pray let him go, for I
A m loth to live to see my father die."
Joseph from tears could now no longer hold:
He said, 44 1 am your brother whom you sold
To Egypt, when on me your anger fell;
And is my father yet alive and well?"
Then on each other's necks they wept amain.
Their cries were heard, from tears could not refrain
" 0 fetch my father hither," Joseph cried,
" That for the family I may now provide."
�13
JACOB'S J O U R N E Y I N T O E G Y P T .
The sons of Jacob Pharaoh did command,
To take both food and waggons from the land
Of Egypt, to fetch their father straight;
They did, and poor old Jacob's joy was great
He said, still as his spirits did revive,
i t is enough, Joseph is yet alive,
The son for whom I mourned, therefore I
Will go and see him now before I die.
Then on his journey still he doth proceed
And in the land of Goshen, there indeed
Joseph did meet him, whom he straight did bring
Into the royal presence of the king.
When Jacob before king Pharaoh stood, '
His age one hundred and thirty years, a good
Old man was he ; Pharaoh gave to his race,
The land of Goshen for a dwelling-place.
�When Joseph Imew his pious father lay
his sick bed, to him he hastes away,
Joseph he brought Manasseh and Ephraim,
Placed them before his father's eyes now dim,
At sight of them, cries Jacob, u Who are these ?"
" My sons," says Joseph, * from between my knees,"
<
When near, he kissed them, and with sweet embrace
Admires his GOD before his Joseph's face.
These boys of thine which were in Egypt born,
They shall be mine, not orphans or forlorn.
Manasseh he blest, commended to his GOD,
r
Bids him to mark the steps that Abraham trod,
Displeased was Joseph to see his elder son
Put by, and the younger the blessing won ;
But Jacob replied, " Son, I know it well,
For Ephraim shall unto great nations swelL"
�15
JACOB B L E S S E T H H I S SONS.
Jacob "he calls his first horn, Reuben, near,
Weak as the water from the fountain clear;
Simeon and Levi, men of cruelty,
They smote a man, and caused him so to die.
Judah's bright sceptre shan't from him depart
Till Shiloh come rejoicing every heart.
Zbbulun's a small port where tall ships may pass,
Issachar well resembles the couchant ass.
Ban as a judge will do his people right,
Gad by a troop at last will win the fight;
Asher his bread is fat, and of a dainty sort,
Naphtali's a hind loosed for the hunter's sport.
Joseph's a bough laden with pleasent fruit,
Near to a well, whose branches sap recruit :
Benjamin like a ravenous wolf doth slay,
Devours his prey, then bears the spoil away.
�16
16
J O S E P H ' S LOVE TO H I S F A T j S E K
Filial affection's to old Jacob good,
When Canaan's land lay destitute of food,
Then Joseph kind his aged father fed,
When thousands daily starved for want of bread ;
His love expressed with mind sedate and calm,,
Then with rich spices did his corpse embalm;
When breathless lay upon a bed of down,
He treats blest Jacob, father of renown ;
Falls on his clay and with a kind embrace,
Salutes the late most venerable face
Of Pious Jacob, now growing stiff and cold.
It must be so when life is charged to mould,
Plenty of tears did from his eye balls flow,
To show mankind he did his duty know,
That nought's too much to pay a parent dear,
From children that the awful GOD do fear.
�IT
JACOB'S FUNERAL.
When seventeen long years Jacob had dwelt,
Behold, the fatal hand of death he felt:
To Joseph he commits the special care
Of his great funeral, and tells him where
He would be laid, which was fulfilled at large,
According to the tenor of his charge ;
For having yielded up his vital breath,
He dropped into the frozen arms of death.
Numbers of mourning coaches out of hand
Prepared were ; thus to his native land
He was conveyed a sleeping-place to have,
Near to the borders of his father's grave.
Upright he was, and just in all his ways ;
Pray now observe the number of his days,
He was, when he dropt off this earthly stage,
One hundred and forty-seven years of age.
�THE
L I F E OF ST. PAUL.
SUO5T PAUL, though not one of the twelve, yet for
his great eminence in the ministry of the gospel,
had the honour to be styled an apostle, particularly
above all the rest that were not of the number, and
hath justly the next place to St. Peter allotted U
him, both in regard they were so conversant in
their lives, and inseparable in their deaths. He
was born at Tarsus, not only of Jewish parents,
but originally descended from an ancient Jewish
family of the tribe of Benjamin in Judea, where
he had his education, which was a flourishing
Academj, whose scholars (as Strabo testifies) excelled those of Alexandria, and even Athens itself.
In the schools of this city, he was brought up from
his childhood, and became an excellent proficient in
all the polite learning of the ancients, yet at the same
time he was brought up to a manual trade, as even
the most learned of their Rabbins were, for enabling
them to. get a livelihood if occasion required i t ; it
being a maxim (especially amongst the Jews,) that
he who teacheth not his son a trade, teacheth him
to be a thief; for learning of old was not made an
instrument to get a maintenance by, but for the
better polishing the m i n d ; so that the learned
among the Jews were frequently denominated (as
Drusius observes,) from some one or other handycraft trade, as Rabbie Judah, the baker j Rabbie
Jochanan, the Shoemaker, &c.
Having at Tarsus attained to a great perfection
in the liberal arts and sciences. He was sent to
Jerusalem to be instructed in the knowledge of the
laws ; and for the better accomplishing him in that
study, was put under the tuition of Raban Gamaliel
the son of Simon, (the same probably^ that took up
our Saviour in his arms.) He was an eminent
�19
doctot of the law, one of the families of the swhoelg
at Jerusalem, and a person of principal note and
authority in the Jewish Sanhedrim, in which that
grave and prudent speech, mentioned in the Acts
of the Apostles, which he made on behalf of the
apostles and their doctrine, took great effect. At
the feet of this great doctor St. Paul was brought
as he himself testifies ; and by his instructions
he soon advanced to that degree, that he gained himself a reputation above all his fellow scholars.
Moreover he was a strict professor of the sect of
the Pharisees, which of all others amongst the Jews,
was the severest and most magisterial ; and the
professors thereof, generally great applauders of
themselves for their sanctity, despising and censuring all others as reprobates, and unworthy of their •
society, and presuming (as Josephus writes) to
govern even princes themselves. With the fiery
genius of this sect, our apostle was too deeply infected, which made him a most zealous persecuter
of the Saints ; so that when the blood of the martyr
Stephen was shed, I (saith he with sorrow after his
conversion) was standing by, consented to his death,
and kept the raiment of them that slew him. Nay,
of all the apparators, and inquisitors, employed by
the Sanhedrim, to execute their warrants ; upon
those upstart heretics, as they called them, who
preached against the law of Mos^s, and the tradition
of the fathers; he was the man that strove to be
the forwardest. In this zeal to execute his office,
as he was on his way to Damascus, with some others
of his fellow officers, breathing out vengeance and
destruction against the poor christians, their was
on a sudden a most glorious light shot full upon
him, and the rest that were with him, so that they
fell to the ground in great amazement, and at the
same time a voice from heaven was directed to him,
saying, " Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me V
�20
to which/amazed as no was, he answered, Lord
who art thou ? the voice replying, that it was Jesus
whom he persecuted, and that it was hard for him
to kick against the pricks. He again desired further
instructions ; Lord, said he, what wilt thou have me
to do ; upon which he was bid to rise, and g o . to
Damascus, and there expect what should be further
revealed to him ; rising from the ground he found
his sight gone. In this plight being led to Damascus, he was there three days fasting, and probably
then he saw that celestial vision mentioned by him,
wherein he heard and saw things past utterance,
and those divine revelations, which gave him
occasion to say, that the gospel he preached, he was
not taught by man, but had it revealed to him by
Jesus Christ. The three days being expired,
Ananias, a devout man, and one of the seventy
disciples came to him, according to the command
he had received from our Lord, who appeared to
him, to go and enquire for one Saul of Tarsus, and
having laid his hands on him, told him his message,
upon which his sight was restored to him, and the
gift of the Holy Ghost conferred on him ; presently
after he was baptized, and made a member of the
church, to the great joy of the rest of the disciples,
that he should become not only a professor, but a
preacher of that faith, which he so lately was a
bitter persecuter of. His stay at this time at Damascus was not long, for being warned away by a
vision from heaven, he took a journey into Arabia,
where he preached the gospel for three years, and
then returned to Damascus, where the unconverted
Jews eagerly sought his ruin, endeavouring to seize
him, but he escaped through the help of the disciples,
and the rest of his friends who were zealous for
his safety.
Thus far we have made an entrance into the life
and acts of this great apostle, with which there is
�21
scarcely any thing equally memorable in history :
nor could the further prosecution thereof have been
omitted, but that all the travels of this apostle in
the pursuance of his ministry, from the time of hia
conversion to the last of his being at Rome, with
the most principal transactions, and the severest
accidents that happened to him therein, are already
related in the exposition of the map of the voyages
of the apostles, and more particularly those of St
Paul, in which, for avoiding needless repetitions,
the sequel of his life may not unfitly be referred.
W e shall therefore make some enquiry into the
time and occasion of the several epistles wrote to
the several churches; as also unto the time and
manner of his death
When he went from Athens to Corinth, it is said
he wrote his first epistle to the Thessalonians,
which he sent Silas and Timothy, who returned
during his stay, and before his departure he wrote
his second epistle to them, to excuse his not coming
to them as he promised in his first. Not long after
at Epliesus, he is said to have Written his epistle to the
Galatians; and before he left Ephesus, he wrote
his first epistle to the Corinthians. Moreover, he
sent from thence by Apollos and Silas to Titus,
whom he left in that island to propagate the faith,
and had him made bishop thereof, in which he
gives him advice for the better execution of» his
episcopal office. At Macedonia, whither he went
from Ephesus, having by Titus received an account
of the church of Corinth's present state of affairs,
he sent by him at his return, when he was accompanied by St. Luke, his second epistle to the
Corinthians ; and about the same time he wrote his
first epistle to Timothy, whom he had left at
Ephesus. From Corinth he went to Macedon,
whither he sent his epistle to the Romans, by
Phebe, a deaconess of the Chtirch of Cenchrea, not
�0Umr
' f
k 11
far from Corintii. Going- thence to Rome, he sent
his epistle to the Phillipians by Epaphroditus, who
had been sent from them with relief, not knowing
to what straits he might be reduced by his imprisonment at Rome, In the next place, he sends
by Tychicus his epistle to the Ephesians. Not
long after, (if not about the same time) he wrote
his epistle to the Colossians,. and sent it by
Epaphras, his fellow-prisoner for some time at
Rome. As for his second epistle to Timothy,
there is some dispute about the time of his writing
i t ; only it seems probable, by authentic authors,
that it w&s written after the Philippians and
Ephesians
As for the epistle to the Hebrews, it
is not known when, or from whence written, and
rather conjectured than certainly kn,own to have
been St. Paul's. Tertulliah judgeth it to be written by Barnabas; but the most received opinion
is, that it was St. Paul's, but written by him in
Hebrew, and soJsentto the Jews; but for the better
publishing it to the Gentiles, translated into Greek,
some say by St. Luke, and others by St. Clement,
•for the style of whose epistles to the Corinthians
and Ephesians is observed by St. Jerome to come
very near the style of this epistle* and to contain a
purer vein of Greek than is found in the rest of St.
Paul's epistles.
Our apostle having been now two years a prisoner
at Rome, is at length set free,, and soon after departs to visit other parts of the world, for the
further divulging the gospel, but into what particular parts is variously conjectured; some think
into Greece, and some parts of Asia, where he had
not yet been; others will have it that he went
preaching, as well into the Eastern as Western
parts of the world; for i n his epistle to the Corinthians it is said, that Paul being a preacher both
Eastward and Westward, taught righteousness to
�23
fche whole world, and went to the utmost bounds of
the West. That he went into Spain, may be
gathered both from his own words, as intimating
so to do, and also from the testimony of other
authors, as Theodoret, who writes, that he not only
went into Spain to preach, but brought the gospel into
the isles of the sea, and particularly into our
island of Britain ; and more particularly in another
place, he reckons up the Gauls and the Britons
amongst those people to whom the apostles, and
especially the tent-maker, as he calls him, had
divulged the Christian faith.
Farther mention of St, Paul we find none till his
next and , last coming to- Home, which is said to be
about the 8th and 9tli years, of Nero's reign ; and
he came in the fittest time to suffer martyrdom lie
could have chosen ; for whereas at other times, his
privilege of being a Roman citizen gained him
those civilities which common morality could not
deny him, he had to do with a person with whom
the crime of being a christian weighed down all
apologies that could be alledged; a person whom
lewdness and debauchery had made seven times
more a Pagan than any custom or education could
have done. What his accusation was, cannot be certainly determined, whether it was his being an
associate with St. Peter in the fall of Siipon Magus,
or his conversion of Poppsea Sabina, one of the
Emperor's concubines, by which he was curbed in
the career , of his insatiate appetite. Neither can it
be resolved how long he remained in prison, what
the certain time of his suffering was, and whether
(according to the custom) he was first scourged ;
only Barentons speaks of two pillars in the church
of St. Mary, beyond the bridge in Rome, to. which
both he and St. Peter were bound, when they were
scourged.
It is affirmed that St. Paul and St. Peter suffered
�» 24
upon tlie same day, though different kinds of death,
Others will have it that they suffered on the same
day of the year, but at a year's distance ; and others
affirm that St. Paul suffered several years after St.
Peter; but all agree that Paul, as a Roman, had
the favour to be beheaded, and not crucified. His
execution was at the Aquae Salvise, 3 miles from
Rome ; and he is said to have converted the three
soldiers that guarded him thither, who also suffered
for the faith. Some of the fathers add, that upon
his death there flowed from his veins a liquor more
like milk than blood, the sight whereof (saith St.
Crysostom) converted the executioner.
He was buried about two miles from Rome, in
the way called Via, Ostiensis, where Lucina, a noble
Roman matron, not long after settled a farm for
"'he maintenance of the church. Here he lay but
.ndifferently entombed for several ages, till the
reign of Constantine the Great, who in the year of
our Lord, 318, at the request of Sylvester, bishop
of Rome, built, a very sumptuous church, supported
with a hundred stately pillars, and beautified with
a most rare and exquisite workmanship, and after
all richly gifted and endowed by the emperor himself. Yet was all this thought too mean an honour
for so great an apostle by the emperor Valentinian,
who sent an order to his Prsefect Salustinus, to
take that cliurcli down, and to erect in its room one
more large and stately, which, at the instance of the
Pope Leo, was richly adorned, and endowed by the
Empress Placidia, and doubtless, hath received
great additions ever since, from age to age.
Thus was brought up, became converted, and a
preacher of the gospel, and thus was put to death
and buried, this great apostle of the Gentiles,
superior in learning aud natural parts, and not
inferior in zeal to any of the rest of the apostles.

Dr. Faustus' birth and education: with an account of his felling from the Scriptures.
D O C T O R J O H N FAUSTUS was born in Germany;
his father was a poor labouring man, not able to
bring up his son Jolm: but he had a brother in
thd same country, who was a very rich man, but
had never a child, and took & great fancy to his
cousin, and he resolved to make a scholar of him ;
and in order thereunto, put him to the latin school,
v^here he took his learning extraordinary well;
afterwards he put him to the University to study
divinity ; bat Faustus could in no ways fancy that
employment; wherefore he betook himself to the
studying of that which his inclination is most for,
viz. Necromancy and Conjuration, and in a lit-
�II
ile time, few or none could outstrip him in the
art; l i e also studied Divinity: of which he was
made Doctor; But within a short time fell into
such deep fancies and cogitations, that he resolved to throw the scriptures from him, and betake
himself wholly to the studying of neeromacy
and conjuration, charms and sobth-sayitig,.witchcraft, and the like.
C H A P II.
How Dr. Faustus conjured up the devil, makeing him appear at his own house.
; {fummD in mod
AARAUA* W H O I H O T D O O
Faustus, whose mind was to study conjuration,
the which he followed night and .day;.he took
the wings of an eagle, and endeavoured to fly over the world, to see and know all the secrets of
heaven and earth : so that in a short time, he attained power to command the devil to appear before him when he pleased.
One day as Dr.
Faustus was walking in a wood near to Wirtemberg, in Germany, he having a friend with him
who was desirous to know of the Doctors art,
he desired him to let him see if he could then and
there bring Mephostophiles before him; all which
�II
the Doctor immediately did, and the dsvil upon
the first call, made such a noise in the wood, as
if heaven and earth would have come together;
then the devil made such a roaring as if the wood
had been full of wild beasts. The Doctor made
a circle for the devil, the which circle the devil
ran round, making a noise as if ten thousand waggons had been running upon paved stones. After
this it thundered and lightened, as if the whole
world had been on fire. Faustus and his friend
amazed at this noise, and the devil's long tarrying, thought to leave his circle; whereupon he
made him such music, the like was never heard
in the world: This so ravished Faustus that he
began again to conjure Mephostophiles in the
name of the prince of the devils, to appear in his
own likeness; whereupon in an instant, hung
over his head a mighty dragon. Faustus calls
again after his former manner, after which there
was a cry in the wood as if hell had opened, and
all the tormented souls had been there; Faustus
in the mean while, asked the devil many questions, and commanded him to show many diabolical tricks.

�CHAP. H i
How Mephostophiles came to Dr* Faustus's
house and what happened between them.
Faustus commanded the spirit to meet him at
his house by ten of the clock the next day. At
the hour appointed he earne into his chamber,
asking Faustus what he would have Faustus
told him, it was his will and .pleasure to conjure
Mm to be obedient to him in all points of those
articles, viz.
First, That the spirit should serve him in all
things he asked, from that time till his death.
Secondly, Whatsoever he would have* he
should bring him.
Thirdly* Whatsoever he desired to know, he
should tell him.
T h e spirit answered him and said he had no
such power of himself, until he had acquainted
his prince that hiled over him: " For" said he,
" we have rulers over us that send us out* aiid
command us home when they please t and we
can act 110 further than our power is, which
we receive from Lucifer, who, you know, for
his pride was thrust out of heaven. But saith
�7
the spirit, I am not to tell you any more except you make yourself over to us.'*
Whereupon Faustus said, " I will have my
request ? but yet I will not be damned with you."
Then said the spirit, " You must not, nor shall
not have your desire, and yet thou art mine and
all the world connot save thee out of my hands."
Then said Faustus. " Get thee hence, and I.
conjure thee, that thou come to me at night."
T h e spirit then vanished. Faustus then began
to consider, how he m?glit obtain Iris desire, and
npfc give his soul to the devil.
And while Faustus wer£ in these his devilish
cogitations^ night drew on, and this hellish spirit
appeared to Faustus, acquainting him, that now
he had got orders from his prince to be obedient
to him, and to do for him whatsoever he desired,
provided he would promise to be his, and withal
to acquaint him first, what he would have of him?
Faustus replied, that his desire was to become a
spirit, and i h a t Mephostophiles should be always
at his command; that whatsoever he called for
him, he shall appear invisible to all meii, and
that he should appear in what shape he pleased
to which the spirit, answered, that all his desires
should 1be granted if he would sign those articles,
he should wish or ask for: whereupon D r . Faustus withdrew and stabbed his wrist receiving the
�8
blood in a small saucer, which cooled so fast, as
if it forwarned him of the hellish act he was going to commit; nevertheless he put it over embers to warm it, and wrote as follows.
" I, John Faustus, approved doctor of divinity, with my own hand do acknowledge aud testify myself to become a servant to Lucifer,
Prince of Septentrional and Oriental, and to him
I freely and voluntarily give both soul; in consideration for the space of twenty four years, if I
be served in all things which I shall require, or
which is reasonable; by him to be allowed ; at the
expiration of which time from the date ensuing,
I give to him all power to do with me at his
pleasure; to rule to retch and carry me where
he pleases body and soul; hereupon I defy God
and Christ, and the host of angels and goocl
spirits all living creatures that bear his shape,
or on whom his image is imprinted y and to the
better strengthening the validity of this covenant
and firm agreement between us, I have writ it
with my blood, and subscribe my name to it,
calling all the powers and infernal potentates to
witness it is my true intent and meaning."
JOIIN FAUSTUS.

C H A P IV.
What happened to Faustus after the signing
of the articles.
When Faustus had made an end of his writing
he called Mephostophiles to him, and delivered
him the bond; whereupon the spirit told him if
he did not repent of what he had done, he should
enjoy all the pleasure his thoughts could form,
and that he would immediately divert him. He
caused a kennel of hounds to run down a hart in
the hall? and vanished: then a bull danced before
Faustus, also there was a lion and a bear, which
fell to fighting before Faustus, and the lion destroyed the bear : after that came a dragon and
destroyed the lion. And this, with abundance*
of more pastime, did the spirit present to the
doctor's view, concluding with all manner of
music, with some hundreds of spirits, which came
and danced before Faustus. After the music
was over, and Faustus began to look about him,
he saw ten sacks full of silver, which he went to
dispose of, but could not, for none could, handle
it but himself, it was so hot. This pastime so
pleased Faustus, that he gave Mephostophiles
�10
the will that lie had made, and kept a copy of it
in his own hands. Tim spirit and Faustns being agreed, they dwelt together, and the devil
was in their house-keeping, for there was never
any thing given away to poor, which before
Faustus made this contract was frequently done,
but the case is now altered.
C H A P . V.
How Faustns served the Duke of Bavaria.
Faustns having sold his soul to the devil, it
was reported among his neighbours* so that none
would keep him company, but his spirit playing
merry tricks for to please him. Not far from
Patistus's house lived the Duke of Bavaria, the
Duke of Saxony, and the Bishop of Salisburgh,
whose houses and cellars Mepliostophiles used to
visit* and to briilg the best of every thing they
had : one day the Duke of Bavaria invited most
of the gentry of the country to dinner, for whose
entertainment, there was abundance of provision
got ready. The gentry being come, and ready
to sit down to dinner, in an instant Mephostophiles came and took all away with him, leaving
�II
them full of admiration. IF any tmis Faustus
had a mind for wild fowl, the spirit would call
whole flocks in at a window ; also the spirit did
teach Faustus to do the like so that no lock nor
key could keep them out. The devil also taught
Faustus to fly in the air and to act many things
that are incredible, and too large for this small
boot to contain.

How t h v Faustus dreamed of hell in his sleep
and wluit he saw there.

H J tlfU} (VJS If
I
i !
After Faustus had ix long conference tfith his
spirit concerning the fall of Lucifer, and the
state and condition of all the fallen angels, he,
in a vision or dream, saw hell and all the devils
and souls that were tormented there; he saw hell
divided into several cells, or deep holes; and for
every cell, or deep ward, there was a devil appointed to punish those that were under his custody. HaVifig seen this sight, he much marvelled at i t ; and at that time Mephostophiles
being with him, he asked him what sort of people they were that lay in the first dark pit ; they
�Mephostophiles told him they were those who
pretended themselves to be physicians, and who
had poisoned many thousands to try practise;
and now saith the spirit they have just the same
administered to them, which they gave to others
though not with the same effect, for they will
never die here saith he. Over their heads was
a shelf laden with gallipots full of poison. Having past them he came to a long entry exceeding
dark where there was a mighty crowd, he asked
him what those were ? and the spirit told him
they weie pick-pockets; who loved to be in a
crowd, when they were in the other world, and
to content them they put them in a crowd there,
amongst them were some padders on the high
way, and those of that function. Walking farther he saw many thousands of vintners, and
some millions of taylors, in so much that they
could not feel where to get stowage for them; a
great number of pastry cooks with peels on their
heads. Walking farther, the spirit opening* a
great cellar door, from which arose a terrible
noise, he asked what they were ; the spirit told
him they were witches, and those who had been
pretended Saints in the other world; but how
they did squabble, fight, and tear one another!
Not far from them lay the whore mongers and
adulterer*, who made such a hideous noise, that
�L3
he was very much startled. Walking down a
few steps he espied an incredible number almost
hid with smoke; he asked what they were ? the
spirit told him they were millers and bakers ; but
good lack, what a noise was there among them !
The millers crying to the bakers, and the bakers
crying to the millers for help, but all was in vain,
for there was none to help them. Passing on
still farther, he saw thousands of shopkeepers,
some of whom he knew, who were tormented for
defrauding and cheating their customers. Having taken this prospect of Hell, the spirit Mephostophiles took him in his arms, and carried
him home to his own house, when he awaking,
he was amazed at what he saw in his dream. So
being come to himself, he asked the spirit in what
place Hell was, and who made it ? Mephostophiles answered, " Knowest thou, that before the
fall of Lucifer, there was no hell, but upon his
fall, was hell ordained. As for the substance of
hell, we devils do not know; it is the wrath of
God that makes hell so furious, and what we
procured by our fall; but where hell is, or how
it is governed, and whatsoever thou desirest to
know, when thou comest there thou shalt be satisfied as far as we know ourselves.

Containing some tricks of Dr. Paustus.
Dr. Faustus having attained the desire of his
spirit, had now full power to act or do any thing
whatever he pleased ; upon a time the Emperor
had a desire to see him, and likewise some of the
Doctor's tricks: whereupon he wras requested by
the Emperor, to do somewhat to make him merr y ; but the Doctor in the meanwhile looking
round him he at last espied a great lord looking
put at a window, and the Doctor calling his spir-»
it to help him, be in an instant fastened a large
pair of horns upon the Lord's head, that he could
not get his head in till Faustus took off the horns
again, which were soon taken off invisibly ; The
Lord whom Faustus served so, was extremely
vexed, and resolved
be revenged op the Doc^
tpr,: and to that end lay a mile out of town for
Faustus's passing by, he being that day to dei art
for the country; Faustus coming by a wood side,
beheld that Lord mounted upon a mjghty warlike horse, who run full drift against Faustus,
who, by the assistance of his spirit, took him and
all, and carried before the Emperor's palace, and
�15
grafted a pair of horns on his head as big as an
Ox's; which he could never? be rid of, but wore
them to his dying day.

How Faustus eat a load of Hay,
Faustus upon a time having many doctors and
masters of arts with him, went to walk in thg
fields, where they met with a load of h a y ; " How
now good Fellow," saith Faustus, « what shall 1
give thee to fill my belly with hay S f The Clown
T
thought he had been a madman to talk of eating
hay, told him he should fill his belly for one
penny; to which the doctor agreed,afld then
fell to eating, and quickly devouring half of the
load : at which the doctor's companions laughed,
to see how simply the poor country fellow looked, and to hear how heartily he prayed the doctor to forbear; so Faustus pitying the poor
man, went away, and before the man got near
his house, all the hay was in the cart, that the
doctor had eaten, which made the country fellow very much admire

How he struck a parcel of Students who were
fighting together, blind; and how he served
a parcel of Clowns who were singing and ran5
ting at an i
;
^
Thirteen Students meeting with seven more,
near Dr. Faustus's house, fell to extremely first
in words and at last to blows ; the thirteen being too hard for the seven, and Dr* Faustus
looking out at his window and seeing the fray
and how much they were over matched, conjured them all blind, so that the one could not see
the other, and in this manner they fought one
another* which made all that saw them laugh:
at length the people parted them, and led them
to their chambers, they instantly received their
sight—The doctor coming into an inn;with some
friends, was disturbed by the hallowing and bawling of a parcel of drunken Clowns, whereupon
when their mouths were wide open, he so ?corijured them* that by no means they could shut
them again; and after they had stared one upon
another, without being able to speak, thinking
they were bewitched, they dropped away in a
�IT
confused fear, one by one, and never could be
got to the house afterwards.

How Faustus helped a young man to a fair lady.
There was a gallant young gentleman who
was in love with a fair lady, living at Wirtemberg, near the dooters house, this gentleman had
long sought this lady in marriage, but could not
attain his desire, and having placed his affections
so much upon her, he was ready to pine away,
and had certainly died with grief, had he not
made his address to the doctor, to whom he opened the whole matter. Now no sooner had the
gentlertian told his cause5 to the doctor, but he told
him that he need not be afraid, for his desire
should be fulfilled, and that he should have her,
whom he so much d-esired, arid that this gentlewoman should have none but him, which was
accordingly done, for the doctor so changed her
mind, that she could think of nothing else but
him whom before she hated; and Faustus's desire was this; lie gave him an enchanted ring
which be ordered him to put into the lady's hand,
�18
I
or to slip, it on her fingei\ which he did i ajad no
sooner had she got the ring than her heart buried
>vith love to him; she instead of frowns, could do
aothing but smile upon him, and not be at rest
Jill she asked him if he thought he could love
her, and make her his wife? he gladly answered
with all his heart. So they were married the next
day, and all by the help of Dr, Faustus,

Now Faustus made seven women danee naked
in the Market place,
Faustus walking in the market-plaqe, saw seven women sitting all in a i;ow, selling Qggs* butter, &e. Of e very one he bought something and
departed: no sooner was lie gone, but all th$ eggs
and butter, were gone out of of their baskets and
they knew not how: at last they were told, that
J k . Faustus had conjured their goods away;
thfey thereupon ran speedily to the Doctor's
house, and so demanded satisfaction for the ware;
he resolving to make himself and the town's people merry by his conjuring art, made them return to their baskets naked as ever they were
�II
born: and having danced a while m the market
place every one's goods w e eon-jured into tfaeir
baskets again, and they set at liberty.

How Faustus served a Country Fe (low who was
driving Swine.
4
Dr. Faustus, as he was going to Wirtemberg .
overtook a Country Fellow driving an hundred
Swine, who were very headstrong some running
one way and some another; so that the driver
could not tell how tp get. them drpye along: the
doctor taking notice of it, so by his conjuring
art, he ma <} f ^very one of .them ctynce upon their
two hind legs, with a fiddle in one of their fore
feet,, and with the other fore foot they played upon the fiddle, and so they danced and fiddled all
the way until they came into Wirtenaberg market. The d r w r of them dancing all the way
before them, which made the people wonder : after the Doctor had satisfied himself vyith the spirit he conjured all of the fiddles away, and the
driver then offered them for sale,
quickly sold
them all, and took the money; but before he was
�gone out of the house Faustus had conjured all
the hogs out of the market-place, and sent them
all home to the driver's house. The man who
bought them, seeing all the swine gone, stopped
the man who sold them and would have his money, which he was forced to pay, and so returned
home sorrowful, and not knowing what to do ;
but to his great surprise, found all the swine in
their sties.

CHAP. XIII.
How Faustus begun to bethink himself of the
near approach of his end.
Faustus having spun out his twenty-four years,
within a month or two, began to consider what
he should do to cheat the devil, but could not
find any way to prevent his miserable end, which
was now near, wThereupon he thus cries out to
himself, Oh! miserable wretch that l a m , I have
given myself to the devil, for a few years pleasure, and now I must pay full dear; I have had
my desires; my filthy lusts I have satisfied, and
I must be tormented for ever and ever.
A neighbour of his a very good old man hear-
�II
ing of his way of living, in compassion to Ins
soul came to Him, and with tears in his eyes, feesought him to have more regard to his most precious soulj laying before him the promise of
God's grace and mercy, freely offered to repenting sinners, and spake so feelingly that Faustus
shed tears, and promised to him, that he would
try to repent. This good man was no sooner
gone away, than Mephostophiles found him pensive and on his bed, now Mephostophiles mustering what had happened, began to reproach
him with breach of covenant to his Lord Lucifer, and thereupon? almost twisted his neck behind him, which made him cry out very lamentable ; in the mean time threatening to tear him
to pieces, unless he renewed his obligation, which
for fear, with much sorrow he did, in a manner
the same as the former, which he confirmed by
the latter.
CHAP. XIV
How Dr. Faustus was warned of the Spirit to
prepare for his end.
Faustuss full time being eome, the spirit ap-
�peared to him, and shewed him his writing, and
told him that the next night, the devil would
fetch him away, which made the Doctor's heart
to ache: but to divert himself, he sent for some
Doctors and master bachelors of arts, and other
students to take dinner with him, for whom he
»
provided groat store of varieties, with music and
the like: but all would not keep up his spirits, for the hour drew n e a r : whereupon his -countenance changing the doctors and masters of
arts enquired of him the reasons of his Melamchotiness ? to which Fa^stusanswered, " My
friends, you have known i&e these many years and
how I hare practised all manner of wickedness.
I have been a great conjurer, which devilish art
I obtained of the the devil ; and also to obtain
power to do whatever I pleased I sold myself to
the 4evH for twenty four years time, which £ull
time being out this night, makes me fbll ©ff horror ; I have called you my friends, to see this my
dreadful end : and I -pray-let my miserable death
be a warning to you all, how you study the devilish art of conjtariag~; for if lonce you begin it,
a thousand to one but it will lead you to the devtil whither £ am this aught to go, whether I will
or not." Tfoey hearing of this sad story blamed
him for concealing it so long, telling him if he
fbad made them acquainted foefoio tint* they
�thought it might have been prevented. He told
them he had a desire several times to have disclosed this intrigue; but the devil told feim, tH8t
if he did, he would presently fetch Mm away;
he also told them, he liad a desire to join with
the godly, and to leave o f that wicked course;
but immediately the devil used to come and torment him, &c. ^ But now, saith Faustus, it is
but in vain for me to talk of what I did intend,
for 1 have sold myself to the devil, body and soul
is his." No sooner had he spoken these words,
but suddenly it fell a thundering and lightening,
the like was never heard; whereupon Faustus
went into the great hall, the doctors and, masters staying in the next room, intending to hear
his end. About twelve o'clock the house shook
so terribly that they <^i|gjht i t would have been
down upon them, and suddenly the house
windows were broken to pieces, s«L!that they trembled and wished themselves elsewhere, whereupon a great clap of thunder, with a whirlwind the
doors flew open, and a mighty rushing of wind
entered with the hissing of serpents, shrieks and
cries, upon w hich he lamentably cried out, Murder, and there wras such roaring in the hall as if
all the devils in hell had been there. When daylight appeared, they took the boldness to enter
into the room, and found his brains beaten out
�24
against the wall, and the floor sprinkled with
blood ; but missing his body they went in search
of: it and found it on the dung-hill mangled and
mashed to pieces. So ended this miserable
wretch's life, forsaking God, and all goodness,
and given up to his implacable enemy which
we hope may stand not only as a fearful, but
lasting monument and warning to others.

OR, THE
LITTLE GLASS SLIPPE
THERE was once a very rich gentleman who
lost his wife; and having loved her exceedingly,
he was very sorry when she died.
Finding himself quite unhappy for her loss,
he resolved to marry a second time, thinking
by this means he should be as happy as
before. Unfortunately, however, the lady
he chanced to fix upon was the proudest and
most haughty woman ever known; she was
always out of humour with every one; nobody
could please her, and she returned the civilities
of those about her with the most affronting
disdain. She had two daughters by a
former husband, whom she brought up to be
proud and idle: indeed, in temper and
behaviour they perfectly resembled their
mother; they did not love their books, and
would not learn to work; in short, they were
disliked by every body.
The gentleman on his side too had a
daughter, who, in sweetness of temper and
carriage, was the exact likeness of her own
�4
mother, whose death he had so much lamented,
and whose tender care of the little girl
he was in hopes to see replaced by that of his
new bride.
But scarcely was the marriage ceremony
over, before his wife began to show her real
temper; she could not bear the pretty little
girl, because her sweet obliging manners
made those of her own daughters appear a
thousand times the more odious and disagreeable.
She therefore ordered her to live in the
kitchen; and, if ever she brought any thing
into the parlour, always scolded her till she
was out of sight. She made her work with
the servants, in washing the dishes, and
rubbing the tables and chairs: it was her
place to clean madam's chamber, and that
of the misses her daughters, which was all
inlaid, had beds of the newest fashion, and
looking-glasses so long and broad, that they
saw themselves from head to foot in them;
while the little creature herself was forced to
sleep up in a sorry garret, upon a wretched
straw bed, without curtains, or any thing to
make her comfortable.
The poor child bore all this with the greatest
patience, not daring to complain to her
father, who, she feared, would only reprove
her, for she saw that his wife governed him
entirely. When she had done all her work
�5
she used to sit in the chimney corner among
the cinders; so that in the house she went
by the name of Cinderbreech : the youngest
of the two sisters, however, being rather
more civil than the eldest, called her Cinderella.
And Cinderella, dirty and ragged as
she was, as often happens in such cases, was
a thousand times prettier than her sisters,
drest out in all their splendour.
It happened that the kings son gave a
ball, to which he invited all the persons of
fashion in the country : our two misses were
of the number; for the king's son did not
know how disagreeable they were ; but
supposed, as they were so much indulged, that
they were extremely amiable. He did not
invite Cinderella, for he had never seen or
heard of her.
The two sisters began immediately to be
very busy in preparing for the happy day:
nothing could exceed their joy; every
moment of their time was spent in fancying
such gowns, shoes, and head-dresses as
would set them off to the greatest advantage.
All this was new vexation to poor Cinderella,
for it was she who ironed and plaited
her sisters' muslins. They talked of nothing
but how they should be dressed. " I," said
the eldest, " will wear my scarlet velvet with
French trimming." " And I," said the
youngest, " shall wear the same petticoat I
�6
had made for the last ball: but then to make
amends for that, I shall put on my gold
muslin train, and wear my diamonds in my
hair; with these I must certainly look well."
They sent several miles for the best
hairdresser that was to be had, and all their
ornaments were bought at the most fashionable
shops.
On the morning of the ball they called
up Cinderella to consult with her about their
dress, for they knew she had a great deal of
taste. Cinderella gave them the best advice
she could, and even offered to assist them
in adjusting their head-dresses; which was
exactly what they wanted, and they accordingly
accepted her proposals.
While Cinderella was busily engaged in
dressing her sisters, they said to her,
" Should you not like, Cinderella, to go to
the ball ?" " A h ! " replied Cinderella, " you
are only laughing at me; it is not for such
as I am to think of going to balls." "You
are in the right," said they: " folks might
laugh indeed to see a Cinderbreech dancing
in a ball-room."
Any other than Cinderella would have
tried to make the haughty creatures look as
ugly as she could; but the sweet-tempered
girl, on the contrary, did every thing she
could think of to make them look well.
The sisters had scarcely eaten any thing
�7
for two days, so great was their joy as the
happy day drew near. More than a dozen
laces were broken in endeavouring to give
them a fine slender shape, and they were
always before the looking-glass.
At length themiuch- wished- for moment
arrived: the proud misses stepped into a
beautifulcarriage,and followed by servants in
rich liveries, drove towards the palace,
Cinderella followed them with her eyes as
far as she could; and when they were out
of sight, she sat down in a corner and began
to cry.
Her, godmother, who saw her in tears,
asked what ailed her.
" I wish
1
w-i-s-h—," sobbed poor Cinderella without
being able to say another word.
The godmother who was a fairy, said to
her, " You wish to go to the ball, Cinderella;
is not this the truth?" " Alas ! yes,"
replied the poor child, sobbing still more than
before. " Well, well, be a good girl," said
the godmother, "and you shall go."
She then led Cinderella to her
bedchamber, and said to her, " Run into the
garden and bring me a pumpion." Cinderella
flew like lightning, and brought the finest
she could lay hold of. Her godmother scooped
out the inside, leaving nothing but the
rind; she then struck it with her wand, and
the pumpion instantly became a fine coach
�8
gilded all over with gold. She next looked
into her mousetrap, where she found six
mice all alive and brisk: she told Cinderella
to lift up the door of the trap very gently; and
as the mice passed out, she touched them one
by one with her wand, and each immediately
became a beautiful horse of a fine dapple
grey mouse-colour. " Here, my child,"
said the godmother, "is a coach and horse
too, as handsome as your sisters': but what
shall we do for a postilion ?"
" I will run," replied Cinderella, "and
see if there be not a rat in the rat-trap; if
I find one, he will do very well for a
postilion."
" Well thought of, my child!" said her
godmother; " make what haste you can."
Cinderella brought the rat-trap, which to
her great joy, contained three of the largest
rats ever seen. The fairy chose the one
which had the longest beard, and touching
him with her wand, he was instantly turned
into a smart handsome postilion, with the
finest pair of whiskers imaginable.
She next said to Cinderella, " Go again
into the garden, and you will find six
lizards behind the watering-pot; bring them
hither." This was no sooner done, than, with
a stroke from the fairy's wand, they were
changed into six footmen, who all
immediately
jumped up behind the coach in
�9
laced liveries, and stood side by side as
cleverly as if they had been used to nothing
else the whole of their lives.
The fairy then said to Cinderella, "Well,
my dear, is not this such an equipage as you
could wish for to take you to the ball ? Are
you not delighted with it ?" "Y-e-s,"
replied Cinderella with hesitation ; "but must
I go hither in these filthy rags ?"
Her godmother touched her with the wand,
and her rags instantly became the most
magnificent apparel, ornamented with the
most costly jewels in the whole world. To
these she added a beautiful pair of glass
slippers, and bade her set out for the
palace.
The fairy, however, before she took leave
of Cinderella, strictly charged her on no
account whatever to stay at the ball after
the clock had struck twelve; telling her
that, should she stay but a single moment
after that time, her coach would again
become a pumpion, her horses mice, her footmen
lizards, and herfineclothes be changed
tofilthyrags.
Cinderella did not fail to promise all her
godmother desired of her; and, almost wild
with joy, drove away to the palace.
As soon as she arrived, the king's son,
who had been informed that a great princess
whom nobody knew, was come to the ball,
�10
presented himself at the door of the carriage,
helped her out, and conducted her to the
ball-room.
Cinderella no sooner appeared than every
one was silent; both the dancing and the
music stopped, and every body was employed
in gazing at the uncommon beauty of this
unknown stranger: nothing was heard hut
whispers of " How handsome she is!" The
king himself, old as he was, could not keep
his eyes from her, and continually repeated
to the queen, that it was a long time since
he had seen so lovely a creature. The ladies
endeavoured to find out how her clothes were
made, that they might get some of the same
pattern for themselves by the next day,
should they be lucky enough to meet with
such handsome materials, and such good
work-people to make them.
The king's son conducted her to the most
honourable seat, and soon after took her out
to dance with him. She both moved and
danced so gracefully, that every one admired
her still more than before, and she was
thought the most beautiful and accomplished
lady ever beheld.
After some time a delicious collation was
served up: but the young prince was so
busily employed in looking at her, that he
did not eat a morsel,
Cinderella seated herself near her sisters,
�11
paid them a thousand attentions, and offered
them a part of the oranges and sweatmeats
with which the prince had presented her;
while they on their part were quite astonished
at these civilities from a lady whom they
did not know.
As they were conversing together,
Cinderella heard the clock strike eleven and three
quarters: she rose from her seat, curtsied
to the company, and hastened away as fast
as she could.
As soon as she got home she flew to her
godmother, and, after thanking her a thousand
times, told her she would give the world
to be able to go again to the ball the next
day, for the king's son had entreated her to
be there.
While she was telling her godmother
every thing that had happened to her at the
ball, the two sisters knocked a loud rat-tattat at the door, which Cinderella opened.
"How late you have staid!" said she,
yawning, rubbing her eyes, and stretching
herself as if just awaked out of her sleep,
though she had in truth felt no desire to
sleep since they left her.
" If you had been at the ball," said one
of the sisters, " let me tell you, you would
not have been sleepy: there came thither
the handsomest, yes, the very handsomest
princess ever beheld! She paid us a thousand
�12
attentions, and made us take a part of the
oranges and sweatmeats the prince had given
her."
Cinderella could scarcely contain herself
for joy: she asked her sisters the name of
this princess: to which they replied, that
nobody had been able to discover who she
was; that the king's son was extremely
grieved on that account, and had offered a
large reward to any person who could find
out where she came from.
Cinderella smiled, and said, "How very
beautiful she must be! How fortunate you
are! Ah, could I but see her for a single
moment! Dear Miss Charlote, lend me only
the yellow gown you wear every day, and
let me go and see her."
" O h ! yes, I warant you; lend my
clothes to a Cinderbreech! Do you really
suppose me such a fool? No, no; pray,
Miss Forward, mind your proper business,
and leave dress and balls to your betters."
Cinderella expected some such answer,
and was by no means sorry, for she would
have been sadly at a loss what to do if her
sister had lent her the clothes that she asked
of her.
The next day the two sisters again appeared
at the ball, and so did Cinderella, but dressed
much more magnificently than the night
before. The king's son was continually by her
�13
side, and said the most obliging things to
her imaginable.
The charming young creature was far
from being tired of all She agreeable things
she met with : on the contrary, she was so
delighted with them, that she entirely
forgot the charge her godmother had given
her.
Cinderella at last heard the striking of a
clock, and counted one, two, three, on till
she came to twelve, though she had thought
that it could be but eleven at most. She
got up and flew as nimbly as a deer out of
the ball-room.
The prince tried to overtake her; but
Cinderella's fright made her run the faster.
However, in her great hurry, she dropped
one of the little glass slippers from her
foot, which the prince stooped down and
picked up, and took the greatest care of it
possible.
Cinderella got home tired and out of
breath, in her dirty old clothes, without
either coach or footman, and having nothing
left of her magnificence but the fellow of the
glass slipper which she had dropped.
In the meanwhile, the prince had enquired
of all his guards at the palace gates, if they
had not seen a magnificent princess pass out,
and which way she went ? The guards
replied, that no princess had passed the gates;
�14
and that they had not seen a creature but
a little ragged girl, who looked more like
a beggar than a princess.
When the two sisters returned from the
ball, Cinderella asked them if they had been
as much amused as the night before, and if
the beautiful princess had been there ? They
told her that she had; but that as soon as
the clock struck twelve she hurried away
from the ball-room, and in the great haste
she made, had dropped one of her glass
slippers, which was the prettiest shape that
could be; that the king's son had picked it
up, and had done nothing but looked at it all
the rest of the evening; and that every body
believed he was violently in love with the
handsome lady to whom it belonged.
This was very true; for a few days after,
the prince had it proclaimed by sound of
trumpet, that he would marry the lady whose
foot should exactly fit the slipper he had
found.
Accordingly the prince's messengers took
the slipper, and carried it first to all the
princesses ; then to the duchesses: in short,
to all the ladies of the court,---but without
success.
They then brought it to the two sisters,
who each tried all she could to squeeze her
foot into the slipper, but saw at last that this
was quite impossible.
�15
Cinderella, who was looking at them all
the while, and knew her slipper, could not
help smiling, and ventured to say, " Pray,
sir, let me try to get on the slipper."
Her sisters burst out a laughing in the
rudest manner possible:—" Very likely,
truly," said one of them, "that such a
clumsy foot as your's should fit the slipper of
a beautiful princess."
The gentleman, however, who brought
the slipper, turned round, looked at Cinderella,
and observing that she was very
handsome,
said, that as he was ordered by the
prince to try it on every one till it fitted, it
was but just that Cinderella should have her
turn.
Saying this, he made her sit down; and
putting the slipper to her foot, it instantly
slipped in, and he saw that itfittedher like
wax.
The two sisters were amazed to see that
the slipper fitted Cinderella: but how much
greater was their astonishment, when she
drew out of her pocket the other slipper and
put it on!
Just at this moment the fairy entered the
room, and touching Cinderella's clothes with
her wand, made her all at once appear more
magnificently dressed than they had seen her
before.
The two sisters immediately perceived
�16
that she was the beautiful princess they had
seen at the ball. They threw themselves at
her feet, and asked her forgiveness for the
ill treatment she had received from them.
Cinderella helped them to rise, and, tenderly
embracing them, said that she forgave them
with all her heart, and begged them to
bestow upon her their affection.
Cinderella was then conducted, drest as
she was, to the young prince, who finding
her more beautiful than ever, instantly
desired her to accept of his hand.
The marriage ceremony took place in a
few days; and Cinderella, who was as
amiable as she was handsome, gave her sisters
magnificent apartments in the palace, and
a short time after married them to two great
lords of the court.
THE END
�THE
BABES IN THE WOOD.
A GREAT many years ago, there lived in
the county of Norfolk a gentleman and his
lady. The gentleman was brave, generous,
and honourable; and the lady gentle,
beautiful,
and virtuous : they were beloved by all
who knew them, and were blessed with two
children, a boy and a girl. The boy was
only about three years old, and the girl not
quite two, when the gentleman was seized
with a dangerous malady, and the lady, in
attending her beloved husband, caught the
contagion. Notwithstanding every medical
assistance their disorder daily increased, and
as they expected to be soon snatched away
from their little babes, they sent for the
gentleman's brother, and gave the darlings
into his care.
" A h ! brother," said the dying man,
" you see I have but a short time to live;
yet neither death nor pain can pierce my
heart with half so much anguish as what I
feel at the thought of that these dear babes
will do without a parent's care. Brother
they will have none but you to be kind to
them, to see them clothed and fed, and to
teach them to be good."
�18
" Dear, dear brother," said the dying
lady, " you must be father, mother, and
uncle too, to these dear innocent lambs. First
let William be taught to read; and then he
should be told how good his father was.
And little Jane, —Oh! brother, it wrings
my heart to talk of her; think of the gentle
usage she will need, and take her fondly on
your knee, brother, and she and William too
will pay your care with love."
" How does it grieve my heart to see you,
my dear relatives, in this mournful
condition ! replied the uncle. "But be
comforted, there may yet be hopes of your
welldoing
: but should we have the misfortune
to lose you, I will do all you can desire for
your darling children. In me they shall
find father, mother, and uncle; but, dear
brother, you have said nothing of your
wealth." " H-e-r-e, h-e-r-e, brother, replied
he, is my will, in which 1 have provided for
my dear babes."
The gentleman and his lady then kissed
their children, and a short time after they
both died.
The uncle, after sheding a few tears,
opened the will, in which he found, that to
William was bequeathed three hundred
pounds a-year, when he became of age, and
to little Jane five hundred pounds in gold on
her marriage day. But if the children
�19
should chance to die before coming of age,
then all their wealth was to be enjoyed by
their uncle. The will of the unfortunate
gentleman next desired, that he and his
beloved wife should be buried side by side in
the same grave.
The two little innocents were now taken
to the house of their uncle, who, for some
time, recollecting what their parent said so
sorrowfully upon their death-bed, behaved to
them with great kindness. But when he
had kept them about a twelvemonth, he by
degrees forgot to think both how their
parents looked when they gave their children
to his care, and the promises he made to be
their father, mother, and uncle, all in one.
After a little more time had passed, the
uncle could not help thinking that he wished
the little boy and girl would die, for he should
then have all their wealth for himself; and
when he had begun to think this, he went
on till he could think scarcely of any
thing else; and at last, says he to himself,
It will not be very difficult for me to kill
them, so as nobody knows any thing of the
matter, and then their gold is mine.
When the barbarous uncle had once
brought his mind to kill the helpless little
creatures, he was not long in finding a way
to execute his cruel purpose. He hired two
sturdy ruffians, who had already killed many
�20
travellers in a dark thick wood, at some
distance, and then robbed them of their money.
These two wicked creatures agreed, for a
large reward, to do the blackest deed that
ever yet was heard of; and the uncle began
to prepare every thing accordingly.
He told an artful story to his wife, of
what good it would be to put the children
forward in their learning ; how he had a
relation in London who would take the greatest
care of them. He then said to the innocent
children, " Should you not like, my
pretty ones, to see the famous town of
London, where you, William, can buy a fine
wooden horse to ride upon all day long, and a
whip to make him gallop, and a fine sword
to wear by your side ? And you, Jane, shall
have pretty dolls, and pretty pincushions,
and a nice gilded coach shall be got to take
you there."
" Oh, yes, I will go, uncle," said
William, " Oh, yes, I will go, uncle," said
Jane; and the uncle, with a heart of stone
soon got them ready for their journey.
The unsuspecting little creatures were a
few days after put into afinecoach,and with
them the two inhuman butchers, who were
soon to end their joyful prattle, and turn
their smiles to tears. One of them served
as coachman, and the other sat between little
William and little Jane.
�21
When they had reached the entrance to the
dark thick wood, the two ruffians took them
out of the coach, telling them they might
now walk a little way, and gather flowers;
and, while the children were skipping about
like lambs, the ruffians turned their backs
on them, and began to consult about what
they had to do.
" In good truth," says the one who had
been sitting all the way between the children,
"now I have seen their cherub faces, and
heard their pretty speech, I have no heart
to do the bloody deed; let us fling away the
ugly knife, and send the children back to
their uncle." " That I will not," says the
other; "what boots their pretty speech to
us? And who will pay us for being so
chicken-hearted ?"
At last the ruffians fell into so great a
passion about butchering the innocent little
creatures, that he who wished to spare their
lives, suddenly opened the great knife he
had brought to kill them, and stabbed the
other to the heart, so that he fell down
dead.
The one who had killed him was now
greatly at a loss what to do with the children,
for he wanted to get away as fast as he
could, for fear of being found in the wood.
He was not, however, long in determining
that he must leave them in the wood, to the
�chance of some traveller passing by. " Loo
ye, my pretty ones," said he, "you must
each take hold and come along with me."
The poor children each took a hand, and
went on, the tears bursting from their eyes,
and their little limbs trembling with fear.
Thus did he lead them about two miles
further on in the wood, and then told them
to wait there till he came back with some
cakes.
William took his sister Jane by the hand,
and they wandered fearfully up and down the
wood. " Will the strange man come with
some cakes, Billy?" says Jane, " Presently,
dear Jane," says William. And soon again,
" I wish I had some cakes, Billy," said
she; and it would have melted a heart of stone
to have seen how sorrowfully they looked.
After waiting very long, they tried to
satisfy their hunger with black-berries; but
they soon devoured all that were within their
reach; and night coming on, William, who
had tried all he could to comfort his little
sister, now wanted comfort himself; so when
Jane said once more, "How hungry I am,
Billy, I b-e-l-i-e-v-e I cannot help crying,"
—William burst out crying too; and down
they lay upon the cold earth, and putting
their arms round each other's neck, there
theystarved, and there they died.
Thus were these pretty little innocents
�murdered; and as no one knew of their death
so no one sought to give them burial.
The wicked uncle, supposing they had
been killed as he desired, told all who asked
after them an artful tale of their having died
in London of the small pox; and accordingly
took possession openly of their fortune.
all this did him very little service, for
soon after his wife died; and being very
unhappy, and always thinking too that he saw
the bleeding innocents before his eyes, he
neglected all his business; so that, instead of
growing richer, he every day grew poorer.
His two sons, also, who had embarked for a
foreign land, were both drowned at sea, and
he became completely miserable.
When things had gone on in this manner
for years, the ruffian who took pity on the
children, committed another robbery in the
wood, and being pursued by some men, he
was laid hold of, and brought to prison, and
soon after was tried at the assizes, and found
guilty—so that he was condemned to be
hanged for the crime.
As soon as he found what his unhappy end
must be, he sent for the keeper of the prison,
and confessed to him all the crimes he had
been guilty of in his whole life, and thus
declared the story of the pretty innocents;
telling him at the same time, in what part
of the wood he had left them to starve.
�24
The news of the discovery he had made
soon reached the uncle's ears; who being
already broken-hearted for misfortunes that
had befallen him, and unable to bear the load
of public shame that could not but await
him, lay down upon his bed and died that
very day.
No sooner were the tidings of the fate of
the two children made public, than proper
persons were sent to search the wood; when,
after many fruitless endeavours, the pretty
babes were at length found stretched in each
other's arms, with William's arm round the
neck of Jane, his face turned close to her's,
and his frock pulled over her body. They
were covered all over with leaves, which in
all that time never withered; and on a bush
near this cold grave a Robin-Redbreast
watched and chirped: so that many gentle
hearts still think that pretty bird did bring
the leaves which made their grave.
FINIS.

THE HAUGHS OF CRUMDBL.
As I came in by Aucliendown,
A very wee bit frae the town,
I'll to the Highlands I was bound.
To view the Haughs of CrumdeL
CHORUS.
Sing tanteradel, tanteradel,
Unto the Highlands 1 was bound,
To view the Haughs of Crumdel.
•
I met a man in tartan trews,
I spier'd at him what was the news,
Says he, the Highland army rues
That e'er they came to Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
Lord Livingston rode from Inverness,
Our Highland lads for to distress;
And has put us a' in a sad mess,
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
�3
The English General he did say,
We'll give the Highland lads fair play :
We'll sound our trumpets, and giye huzza,
And waken them at Crumdel.
Sing, <fcc.
8ays Livingston, I hold it best
To catch them lurking in their nest;
The Highland lads we will distress,
And hough them down at Crumdel.
Sing, &e.
So they were in their beds, sir, every one,
When the English army on them came,
And a bloody battle soon began,
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
The English horse they were so rude,
Tliey bath'd their hoofs in Highland blood
Our noble clans they firmly stood,
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
But our noble clans they could not stay.
Out over the hills they ran away,
And sore they do lament the day
That ever they came to Crumdel.
Sing, &e.
Says great Montrose, I must not stay,
Wilt thou direct the nearest way,
Over the hills I'll go this day,
And see the Haughs of Crumdel.
Sing,

Alas my lord, you are not strong,
You have scarcely got two thousand men,
There's twenty thousand on the. plain,
Lies rank and file in Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
Says great Montrose, I will not stay,
So direct me to the nearest way,
For over the hills I'll go this day,
And see the Hauglis of Crumdel.

They were at dinner every man,
When great Montrose upon them came,
And a second battle soon began
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.

As soon as Montrose they did espy, .
They stood and fought most, manfully,
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel

The Camerons did their standard join,
M'Intoshes play'd a bonny game
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
The M'Phersons fought like, lions bold,
M'Gregors none could them control,
M'Laughlans fought like valiant souls
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.
jy

�M'Leans, M'Dougels, and M'Neil,
So bolcllj as they took the field,
And made their enemies to yield
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
The Gordons boldly did advance,
The Frazers fought with sword and lance,
The Grahams made their heads to dance
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
The royal Stewarts and Munroes,
So boldly as they faced their foes,
And brought them down by hand and blows^
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.
Sing, &c.
Out of twenty thousand Englishmen,
Five hundred fled to Aberdeen,
The rest of them they all lay slain
Upon the Haughs of Crumdel.

YOU'LL FIND NO CHANGE IN ME.
O, when I was, a younker,
A maid would marry me,
And often-times I drunk her,
In toasts of three times three.
�6
She said, were I extravagant,
She never could agree ;
Do you take me for a vagabond ?
You'll find no change in me,
You'll find no change in me.
So quickly we got married,
As many mad folks do ;
And the priest swore we were only one,
Though I swore we were two.
lie talk'd about living happily,
And then he ask'd his fee ;
Kind man, said I, be not absurd,
You'll find no change in me ;
You'll find no change in me.
A month had scarcely wander'd past,
When my poor Sue did die,
And no one ever wept so fast,
Or sadly as did I.
The Undertaker did the rest,
With him I did agree ;
And he and all have since confesvd,
They found no change in me ;
They found no change in me.
THE CHARMING WIDOW.
I'm a charming widow now,
In age just twenty-two,
And being rid of my former vow,
New lovers come here to woo.
�There's many a one with flattering tongue,
Of high and of low degree ;
But he that is both merry and young
Is the brisk young man for me.
There's, &c.
Last time I wed a husband old,
About fourscore or more ;
But then his purse was lin'd with gold.
Which woman-kind adore.
He's dead and gone to his narrow home,
So then let him quiet be ;
And now my heart is free to roam,
So a brisk young man for me.
There's, be.
I'VE DREAMT THAT THOU ART FADING.
1 've dreamt that thou art fading.
If thou'rt fading, love, for me—
O resume thy early beauty,
For I am not false to thee.
The feelings that pervade thee,
May have touch'd this heart as. sore ;
Yet thy charms have ever bade me
Behold thee, and adore.
Fve mov'd among the many
Who were beautiful and gay,
And since last mine eyes beheld thee,
I have wander'd far away.
�8
Yet among each joyous circle,
O my heart returnTd to thee—
All was cheerless, all was sunless,
For thou wert not there with'me;
LOVE, AND OUR OCEAN HOME,
Our home is amid the sea,
Where the billows roll proudly and dark ;
Our course and our thoughts are free, are free
As the breezes that waft our bark ;
And while, with the best of the brave,
On our pathless domain we roam,
The song that swells far on the wave,
Is " Love, and our ocean home."
'IHsnrght in our sea-girt isle,
And gaily the goblet goes round,
But soon merry morn shall smile, shall smile,
And away to battle we bound.
And when from the deeds of our fams
We dance o'er the crested foam,
Our fondest song, and our proudest theme,
Is *4 Love, and our ocean Home,"

HARRY BLUFF.
A
When a boy, Harry Bluff left his friends and his
home,
And his dear native land, on the ocean to roam ;
Like a sapling he sprung, he was fair to the view,
And was true British oak, boys, when older he grew,
Though his body was weak, and his hands they were
soft,
When the signal was heard, he the first went aloft;
And the veterans all cried, he'll one day lead the van,
For though rated a boy, he'd the soul of a man,
And the heart of a true British sailor.
When in manhood promoted, and burning for fame,
Still in peace and in war Harry Bluff was the same ;
So true to his love, and in battle so brave,
The myrtle and laurel entwine o'er his grave.
For his country he fell, when by victory crown'd,
The flag shot away, fell in tatters around ;
The foe thought he'd struck-—but he sung, avast!
And the colours of England he nail'd to the mast,
Then he died like a true British saiktf.

LOGIE 0 ' BUCHAN.
0 Logie o' Buchan, 0 L-ogie the laird,
Thej hae taen awa Jamie that delv'd in the yard,
Wha play'd on the pipe wi' the viol sae sma',
They hae taen awa Jamie, the flower o' them a'.
•
CHORUS.
He said, think na lang lassie, though I gang awa,
He said, think na lang lassie, though I gang awa ;
For the simmer is coming, cauld winter's awa,
And I'll come and see thee in spite o' them a'.
0 Sandy has owsen, and siller, and kye,
A house and a hadden, and a' things forbye ;
But I wad hae Jamie wi' his staff in his hand,
Before I'd hae Sandv wi' houses and lands.
He said, think na lang, &c.
My daddie looks sulky, my minnie looks spur,
They frown upon Jamie because he is poor ;
But daddie and minnie, although that they be,
There's nane o' them like my Jamie to me
1 sit on my creepie, and spin at my wheel,
And think on the laddie that loed me sae weel;
He had but ae sixpence, he brake it in twa,
And he gied me the hauf o't when he gaed awa.
Then haste ye baqk, Jamie, and bide na awa,
Then haste ye back, Jamie, and bide na awa ;
The simmer is coming, cauld winter's awa,
And ye'11 come and see me, in spite o' them a'.

TELL ME W H Y MEN W I L L DECEIVE US.
Come tell me, says Julia, and tell me sincerely,
Why men are so prone to deceive us ;
0, cruel to make us believe they love dearly,
And then can perfidiously leave us.
<m
Fair censor, I answered, though such there may be,
Yet judge not all so unkindly ;
The heart that beats loyal, as mine does to thee,
Can never turn rebel so blindly.
I grant so, she answered, and yield to it fairly,
Some few may be free from the treason,
But then to our sorrow, we find it so rarely,
To doubt and mistrust ye, we've reason.
Not quite so, I told her, the love that is sincere
Can but with existence be parted,
Like the fond turtle-dove, 'twill be true to its dear,
And never, no, never false-hearted.
She smil'd, and yet blush'd like a rose in full bearing,
And seem'd from her doubts to awaken ;
Then own'd, freely own'd, like an angel declaring,
She might, to be sure, be mistaken.
0 yes, and so sweetly her eyes made it known,
Not a glance but a god might set store by,
And fate from that moment enchain'd me ere now,
And her lip was the altar I swore by.

'TWAS WITHIN A MILE OF EDINBURGH
TOWN.
'Twas within a mile of Edinburgh town.
In the rosy time of the year,
Sweet flowers bloom'd, and the grass was down,
And each shepherd woo'd his dear.
Bonnie Jockie, blithe and gay,
Kiss'd sweet Jenny making hay ;
The lassie blush'd, and frowning cried,
Na, na, it winna do ;
I canna, canna, winna, winna, maunna buckle to
Jcfckie was a wag who never would wed,
Though lang he had followed the lass;
Contented she earn'd and ate her brown bread,
And merrily turn'd up the grass.
Bonnie Jockie, blithe and free,
Won her heart right merrily ;
Yet still she blush'd, and frowning cried,
Na, na, it winna do,
I canna, canna, winna, winna, maunna buckle to.
But when he vow'd he would make her his bride,
Though his flocks and his herds were not few,
She gied him her hand, and a kiss beside,
And yow'd she'd for ever be true.
Bonnie Jockie, blithe and free,
Won her heart right merrily ;
At kirk she nae mair frowning cried,
Na, na, it winna do;
I canna, canna, winna, winna, maunna buckle to.
�OH NO, WE NEVER MENTION .HER.
Oh no, we never mention her,
Her name is never heard,
My lips are now forbid to speak
That once familiar word.
From sport to sport they liurry me,
To banish my regret;
And when they win a smile from me,
They think that I forget.
They bid me seek in change of scene,
The charms that others see,
But were I in a foreign land,
They'd find no change in me.
'Tis true that I behold no more
The valley where we met,
I do not see the hawthorn tree,
But how can I forget ?
For oh! there are so many things
Recal the past to me ;
The breeze upon the sunny hills,
The billows of the sea ;
The rosy tint that decks the sky,
Before the sun is set;
Aye, every leaf I look upon
Forbids me to forget.
They tell me she is happy now,
The gayest of the gay ;
They hint that she forgets me now,
But heed not what they saj.
�7
Like me, perhaps, she struggles
With each feeling of regret;
But if she loves as I have loved,
She never can forget.
OH, SAY NOT WOMAN'S LOVE IS BOUGHT
-Oh say not woman's love is bought
With vain and empty treasure ;
Oh say not woman's heart is caught
By every idle pleasure.
When first her gentle bosom knows
Love's flame, it wanders never ;
Deep in her heart the passion glows,
She loves, and loves for ever.

Oh say not woman's false as fair,,
That like the bee she ranges,
Still seeking flowers more sweet arid rare,
As fickle fancy changes, .p.v

Ah no! the love that first can warm,
Will leave her bosom never ;
No second passion e'er can charm.
She loves, and loves for ever.

DEAREST MAID, MY HEART IS THINE.
Dearest maid, my heart is thine,
For ever fond and true ;
Dearest youth, believe that mine
As truly beats for you.

Then, bound in Hymen's rosy chain,
Our hearts shall constant prove,
For joys serene, and free from pain,
Will ever crown our love.

MEET ME IN THE MOONLIGHT.
Meet me in the moonlight,
Meet me in the dell;
If the stars behold us,
Will they ever tell ?
Tho' the moon be bright, love,
Never heed the skies ;
Need we gaze at heaven ?
Are there not your eyes ?
Let the gentle breezes
Whisper as they fly,
Until they cannot echo
All that me may sigh.
Who shall ever listen
Who shall ever tell
We were in the moonlight,
Kissing in the dell ?

THE
GUDE W M L 1 C E
TO WHICH IS ADDED
LORD THOMAS STUART.
GLASGOW:
PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS.
76.
�THE GUDE WALLACE.
WALLACE wicht, upon a nicht,
Cam' riding ower a linn ;
And he is to his leman's bouir,
And tirl'd at the pin.
0 sleep ye, or wake ye, lady?" he cried
Ye'll rise and let me in."
" 0 wha is this at my bouir door,
That knocks and knows my name ? "
* My name is William Wallace ;
*
Ye may my errand ken."
44
" The truth to you I will rehearse—
The secret 1 1 unfauld ;
*1
Into your enemies' hands, this nicht,
I fairly lia'e you sauld."
If that be true ye tell to me,
Do ye repent it sair?"
M Oh that 1 do," she said, " dear Wallace,
And will do evermair!
" The English did surround my house,
And forcit me theretill;
But for your sake, my dear Wallace,
I could burn on a hill."
Then he ga'e her a loving kiss ;
The teir drapt frae his e'e;
�Says, " Fare ye weel for evermair;
Your face nae mail* I'll see."
She dress'd him in her ain claithing,
And frae her house he came ;
Which made the Englishmen admire
To see sic a stalwart dame!
Now Wallace to the Hi elands went.
Where nae meat nor drink had he ;
Said, " Fa' me life, or fa' me death,
To some toun I maun drie."
He steppit ower the river T a j —
On the North Inch steppit he ;
And there he saw a weel-faured May,
Was washing aneath a tree.
* What news, what news, ye weel-faured May
*
What news ha'e ye to me ?
What news, what news, ye weel-faured May,
What news in the south countrie ? "
" 0 see ye, sir, yon hostler-house
That stands on yonder plain ?
This very day have landit in it
Full fifteen Englishmen,
'* In search of Wallace, our champion,
Intending he should dee ! "
41 Then, by my sooth," says Wallace wicht,
" These Englishmen I'se see.
" If I had but in my pocket
The worth of a single pennie,
I wad gang to the hostler-house,
These gentlemen to see."
�4
She put her hand in her pocket,
And pull'd out half-a-croun,
Says, " Tak' ye that, ye beltit knieht,
And pay your lawin doun."
As he went frae the weel-faured May,
A beggar bold met he,
Was cover'd wi' a clouted cloke,
In his hand a trustie tree.
What news, what news, ye silly auld man
What news ha'e ye to gie ?"
44 No news, no news, ye beltit knicht,
No news ha e I to thee,
But fifteen lords in the hostler-house
Waiting Wallace for to see."
" Ye'11 lend to me your clouted cloke,
That kivers ye frae heid to shie ;
And I'll go to the hostler-house,
To ask far some supplied
Now he's gane to the West-muir wood,
And pulled a trustie trie ;
And then he's on to the hostler gone,
Asking there for charitie.
Doun the stair the captain comes,
The puir man for to see :
•' If ye be captain as gude as ye look,
Vou'll give me some supplie."
" Where were ye born, ye cruikit carle ?
Where, and in what countrie ? "
" In fair Scotland, sir, was I born,
Cruikit carle as ye ca' me,"
\
�5
" 0 1 wad give you fifty pounds
Of gold and white monie ;
0 I wad give you fifty pounds,
If Wallace ye would let me see."
" Tell doun your money," quo' the cruikit carle,
Tell doun your money good;
I'm sure I have it in my pouir, .
And never had a better bode."
The money was told upon the table,
Of silver pounds fiftie :
" Now here I stand!" quo the gude Wallace,
And his cloke frae him gar'd flie.
He slew the captain where he stood;
The rest they did quake and rair:
He slew the rest around the room ;
Syne ask'd if there were ony mair.
" Get up, get up, gude wife," he says,
44 And get me some dinner in haste,
For it soon will be three lang days time,
Sin' a bit o' meat I did taste ! "
The dinner was na weil readie,
Nor yet on the table set,
When other fifteen Englishmen
Were lichtit at the yett.
" Come out, come out, thou traitor, Wallace!
This is the day ye maun d e e ! "
" I lippen nae sae little to God," he says,
" Although I be but ill wordio "
�6
The gudewife had an auld gudeman;
By gude Wallace he stiffly stude,
Till ten o' the fifteen Englishmen
Lay before the door in their blude.
The other five he took alive,
To the greenwood as they ran ;
And he has hanged them, bot mercie,
Up hieli upon a grain.
Now he is on to the North Inch gone,
Where the May was washing tenderlie.
" Now, by my sooth," said the gude Wallace,
It's been a sair day's wark to me."
He's put his hand in his pocket,
And pulled out twenty pounds ;
Says, 44 Tak' ye that, ye weel-faured May,
For the gude luck o' your half-croun."
Full five-and-twenty men he slew,
Five hanged upon a grain ;
On the morn he sat, wi' his merry-men a'.
In Lochmaben toun at dine.
LORD
THOMAS
STUART.
THOMAS STUART w a s a l o r d ,
A lord of mickle land ;
He used to wear a coat of gold,
But now his grave is green.
Now he has wooed the young Countess,
The Countess of Balquhin,
And given her lor a morning gift,
Strathbogie and Aboyne.
�7
But woman's wit is aye wilful,
Alas! that ever it was sae,
She long'd to see the morning gift,
That her good lord to her ga'e.
When steeds were saddled and weel bridled.
An' ready for to ride,
There came a pajn 011 that gude lord,
His back likewise his side.
He said, " Ride on, my lady fair,
May goodness be your guide,
For I am so sick and weary that
No farther can I ride."
Now ben did come his father dear,
Wearing a golden b^-nd,
Says, " Is there na leech in Edinburgh
Can cure my son from wrang?"
0 leech is come and leech is gane,
Yet, father, I'm aye waur ;
There's not a leech in Edinbro'
Can death from me debar.
But be a friend to my wife, father,
Restore to her her own,
Restore to her her morning gift,
Strathbogie and Aboyne.
It had been gude for my wife, father,
To me she'd borne a son.
He would have got my lands and rents,
Where they lie out and in.
�8
" I t had been gude for my wife, father,
To me she'd borne an heir ;
He would have got my lands and rents
Where they lie fine and fair."
The steeds they strave into their stables,
The boys could not get them bound,
The hounds lay howling on the beach,
'Cause their master was behind.
441
dream'd a dream since late yestreen,
I wish it may be good,
That our chamber was full of swine,
An' our bed full of blood.
" I saw a woman come from the west,
Full sore wringing her hands,
And aye she cried, Ohon, alas!
My good lord's broken bands.
" As she came by my gude lord's bower
Saw mony black steeds and brown,—
I'm feared it be mony unco lords
Haying my love from town.
" A s she came by my gude lord's bower,
Saw mony black steeds and grey, —
I'm fear'd it's mony unco lords
Havin' my love to the clay."

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A Robin Hood-like tale of three bowmen who have been living in the woods after being outlawed for poaching. One of the bowman, William of Cloudeslie, attempts to visit his wife and children in town, where he is welcomed by her but turned in by an old woman to the authorities. William fights back but is captured when they attempt to burn down his house with him and his children inside. He is ordered to be hanged the next day by the Justice and Sheriff, but his two friends charge in and rescue him, slaughtering the entire garrison in the attempt. Before word of this reaches court, the three men go directly to the King to ask for pardons for their poaching. The King is not at first inclined to grant their request, but the Queen intercedes on their behalf, asking for mercy. The yeomen leave with their pardons, but word of the slaughter of the Justice and Sheriff and 300 of their men soon reaches the king. He sends men out to return the men and threatens to hang them unless they can explain how three men managed to kill so many. They demonstrate their skill with the bow first with sticks and then with an apple on the head of William’s son, after which the king and queen, both overwhelmed with the demonstration of such skill, pardon them and reward them with land, title, and money.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Two songs about love. The first is the story of the love between a Highland lad and a Lowland girl. The girls’ father is against the match and disinherits her when she decides she runs off with him. In the beginning, it looks like she has made the wrong choice as she is forced to walk and beg for them both on the way to the Highlands, but when they arrive it turns out he is a laird and she is treated as the lady of a great estate. In the end they both go back to visit and reconcile with the father. The second song is a short ballad about a young girl’s love for a shepherd.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
A ballad in four parts that tells the tale of an heiress who is beautiful and rich and pursued by many, but is pleased by none of them. She eventually falls in love, in spite of herself, with a young lawyer, and she resolves to marry him, but also decides to first punish him a little for making her languish in love with him. She sends him an anonymous challenge to duel in a grove. When he arrives, she is masked and tells him he must fight her or marry her, without knowing who she is (she even has her rapier ready). On the advice of a friend, he decides to marry her and she takes him to the church, still masked, where they are married. Then she brings him home to her castle and leaves him to sit in the parlor for hours before she finally comes down, unmasked and beautifully attired, and demands to know who he is and why he is sitting in her parlor. He admits he was brought here by a young lady, and she in turn admits that it was herself. They spend the rest of their life blessed by love and wealth.
