  Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy this reading, which comes from a
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: work in the public domain, Gargantua and Pantagruel by Francois Rabelais.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Chapter one of the Genealogy and Antiquity of Gargantua. I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: must refer you to the great chronicle of Pantagruel for
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the knowledge of that genealogy and antiquity of race by
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: which Gargantua is come unto us. In it you may
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: understand more at large how the giants were born in
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: this world, and how from them, by a direct line
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: issued Gargantua, the father of Pantagruel. And do not take
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it ill if for this time I pass by it,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: although the subject be such that the oftener it were remembered,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the more it would please your worshipful Signorias, according to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: which you have the authority of Plato in Philebo and Gorgias,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and of Flaccus, who says that there are some kinds
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of purposes such as these are without doubt, which the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: frequently er they be repeated still prove, the more delectable
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: would to God every one had a certain knowledge of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: his genealogy. Since the time of the ark of Noah.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Until this age. I think many are at this day emperors, kings, dukes,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: princes and popes on the earth, whose extraction is from
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: some porters, and pardon Pedlas as on the contrary, many
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: are now poor, wandering beggars, wretched and miserable, who are
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: descended of the blood and lineage of great kings and emperors, occasioned,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: as I conceive it, by the transport and revolution of
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: kingdoms and empires, from the Assyrians to the Meds, from
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the Meads to the Persians, from the Persians to the Macedonians,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: from the Macedonians to the Romans, from the Romans to
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the Greeks, from the Greeks to the French. And to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: give you some hint concerning myself, who speaks unto you,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I cannot think, but I am come of the race
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of some rich king or prince in former times. For
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: never yet saw you any man that had a greater
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: desire to be a king and to be rich than
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I have, And that only that I may make good, cheer,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: do nothing, nor care for anything, and plentifully enrich my
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: friends and all honest and learned men. But herein do
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I comfort myself that in the other world I shall
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: be so yea and greater too than at this present.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I dare wish as for you with the same or
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a better conceit. Consulate yourselves in your distresses, and drink
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: fresh if you can come by it to return to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: our weathers. I say that, by the sovereign gift of Heaven,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the antiquity and genealogy of Gargantua hath been reserved for
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: our use, more full and perfect than any other, except
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that of the Meshas, whereof I mean not to speak,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for it belongs not unto my purpose, and the devils,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that is to say, the false accusers and dissembled gospelers
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: will therein oppose me. This genealogy was found by John
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Andrew in a meadow which he had near the pole
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: arch under the olive tree as you go to Narsay,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: where as he was making cast up some ditches. The
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: diggers with their matic struck against a great, brazen tomb
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and unmeasurably long, for they could never find the end thereof,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: by reason that it entered too far within the sluices
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of Vienne. Opening this tomb in a certain place thereof
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: sealed on the top with the mark of a goblet,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: about which was written in a Trurian letters hick bibeter.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: They found nine flagons set in such order as they
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: used to rank their chyles in gascony, of which that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: which was placed in the middle had under it a big, fat, great, gray,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: pretty small, moldy little pamphlet, smelling stronger but no better
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: than roses. In that book, that said genealogy was found
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: written all at length in a chancery hand, not in paper,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not in parchment, nor in wax, but in the bark
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of an elm tree, yet so worn with the long
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: tract of time, that hardly could three letters together be
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: there perfectly discerned, I, though unworthy, was sent for thither,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and with much help of those spectacles, whereby the art
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: of reading dim writings and letters that do not clearly
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: appear to the sight is practiced, as Aristotle teacheth. It
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: did translate the book as as you may see in
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: your pantigrealizing, that is to say, in drinking stiffly to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: your own heart's desire, and reading the dreadful and horrific
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: acts of Pantagruel. At the end of the book there
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: was a little treatise entitled the antidote fan forlushes, or
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a galamatia of extravagant conceits the rats and moths, or
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that I may not lie. Other wicked beasts had nibbled
• 4:23

• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the reverence I bear to antiquity, Chapter one point two dot.

  Speaker 1: The antidote fan flushes, or a galamatia of extravagant conceits
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: found in an ancient monument. No sooner did the Simbrian's
• 4:40

• 4:43

• 4:49

  Speaker 1: prayed to lick his slipper, some told, was much better
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: than to gain pardons, and the merit greater. In t

  Speaker 1: nothing but a calve's horns were found therein. I feel,
• 5:31

  Speaker 1: talked of the bum hoole of Saint Nol's of Gilbethar,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and thousand other holes, if they might be reduced tea,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a scary stuff such as might not be subject to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the cough, since every man unseemly did it find to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: see the gaping thus at every wind. For if perhaps
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: they handsomely were closed for pledges, they to men might
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be exposed. In this arrest by Hercules, the raven was

  Speaker 1: When her with such a grievous trick, they plied that

  Speaker 1: she had almost been beth whacked by it. The bargain
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was that of that throatful she should of Proserpina have
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: two eggs free, and if that she thereafter should be found,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: she to a hoff thornhill should be fast bound seven

• 9:59
  Speaker 1: eleven months in his mother's belly. Grangousier was a good
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: fellow in his time and notable jester. He loved to
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: drink meat as much as any man that then was
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in the world, and would willingly eat salt meat. To
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: this intent, he was ordinarily well furnished with gammons of bacon,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: both of Westphalia, Mayence and Ballon, with store of dried meats, tongues,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: plenty of lynx, chitlins and puddings in their season, together
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: with salt beef and mustard, a good deal of hard
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: rows of powdered mullet called buttargoes great provision of sausages.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Not of Bolognia, for he feared the Lombard Boconne, but
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: of big Ore, Longoney, Breen and Rardu. In the vigor
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of his age, he married Gargamel, daughter to the King
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of the Parpaalians, a jolly pug and well mouthed wench.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: These two did, oftentimes do, the two backed beasts together,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: joyfully rubbing and frotting their bacon gainst one another, in
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: so far that at last she became great with child
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: of a fair son, and went with him unto the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: eleventh month. For so long, yet longer may a woman
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: carry her great belly, especially when it is some masterpiece
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of nature, and a person predestinated to the performance in
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: his due time of great exploits. As Homer says that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the child which Neptune begot upon the nymph was born
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a whole year after the conception, that is, in the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: twelfth month. For as allus jellious seth live three, this
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: long time was suitable to the majesty of Neptune, that
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in it the child might receive his perfect form. For
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the like reason, Jupiter made the night wherein he lay
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: without mina last forty eight hours, a shorter time not
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: being sufficient for the forging of Hercules, who cleansed the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: world of the monsters and tyrants, wherewith it was suppressed
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: my masters. The ancient Pantagrellists have confirmed that which I say,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and withal declared it to be not only possible, but
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: also maintained the lawful birth and legitimation of the infant
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: born of a woman in the eleventh month after the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: decease of her husband. Hypocrates Libda Alimento Plinius lib. Seven, Cap. Five.

• 13:19
  Speaker 1: with might and main and as hard as they can,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: for the space of the first two months after the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: decease of their husbands. I pray you, my good lusty
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: springow lads, if you find any of these females that
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: are worth the pains of untying the cot piece point,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: get up, ride upon them and bring them to me.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: For if they happen within the third month to conceive,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the child should be heir to the deceased, if before
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: he died he had no other children. And the mother
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: shall pass for an honest woman. When she is known
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: to have conceived, thrust forward boldly, spare her not whatever
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: betide you, seeing the paunch is full. As Julia, the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: daughter of the Emperor Octavian, never prostituted herself to her
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: belly bumpers, but when she found herself with child after
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the manner of ships that receive not their steersmen till
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: they have their ballast and lading. And if any blame
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: them for this, their radicaniculation and reiterated letchery upon their
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: pregnancy in big belliedness. Seeing beasts in the like exigent
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of their fullness, will never suffer the male masculine to
• 14:23

• 14:27
  Speaker 1: but they are women, very well skilled in the pretty
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: valets and small fees of the pleasant trade and mysteries
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of superfitation. As Pepulia heretofore answered, according to the relation

• 14:51
  Speaker 1: being great with Gargantua, did e the huge deal of tripes.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: The occasion and manner how Gargamel was brought to bed
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and delivered of her child was thus, And if you
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: do not believe it, I wish your bumgut fall out
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: and make an escapade. Her bung gut indeed, or fundament
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: escaped her in an afternoon on the third day of February,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: with having eaten at dinner too many gotabilios. Gotabilios are
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the fat tripes of coiros. Coiros are beaves fattened that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the cratch in ox stalls, or in the fresh gemo meadows.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Guimo meadows are those that for their fruitfulness may be
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: mowed twice a year. Of those fat beads they had
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: killed three hundred sixty seven thousand, fourteen to be salted
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: at Shrovetide, that in the entering of the spring they
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: might have plenty of powdered beef, wherewith to season their
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: mouths at the beginning of their meals, and to taste
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: their wine. The better. They had abundance of tripes, as
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you have heard, and they were so delicious that everyone
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: licked his fingers. But the mischief was this, that, for
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: all men could do, there was no possibility to keep
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: them long in that relish, for in a very short
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: while they would have stunk, which had been an undecent thing.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: It was therefore concluded that they should be all of
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: them gulched up without losing anything. To this effect, they
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: invited all the Burghers of Siney's, of Swel, of the
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Roche Clermont, of Vagaudry, without omitting the Cudre Montpensier, the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Giu da Vide, and other their neighbors, all stiff drinkers,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: brave fellows and good players at the kyles. The good
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: man granged this ere took great pleasure in their company,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and commanded there should be no want nor pinching for anything. Nevertheless,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: he bade his wife eat sparingly, because she was near
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: her time, and that these tripes were no very commendable meat.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: They would fain, said he be at the chewing of
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: orger that would eat the case wherein it was. Notwithstanding
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: these admonitions, she did eat sixteen quarters, two bushels, three pecks,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and a pipkin full ohe the fair fecality, wherewith she
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: swelled by the ingrediency of such shitten stuff. After dinner
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: they all went out in a hurl to the grove
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: of the willows, where on the green grass, to the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: sound of the merry flutes and pleasant bagpipes, they danced
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: so gallantly that it was a sweet and heavenly sport
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to see them so frolic. Chapter one, do ve dot

  Speaker 1: the chat of victuals and some belly furniture to be
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: snatched at in the very same place, which purpose was
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: no sooner mentioned. But forthwith began flagons to go, gammons
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to trot, goblets to fly, great bowls, to ting glasses,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to ring, draw reach fill mix, Give it me without water,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: so my friend, so whip me off this glass neatly
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: bring me hither some claret, a full weeping glass, till
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: it run over a cessation and truce with thirst. Ha
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: thou false fever, wilt thou not be gone by my figins, Godmother,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I cannot as yet enter in the humor of being merry,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: nor drink so currently as I would you have catched
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a cold gammer yea forsooth, sir, by the belly of
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Saint buff let us talk of our drink. I never drink,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: but at my hours like the pope's mule. And I
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: never drink but in my breviary like a fair father guardian,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: which was first thirst or drinking thirst? For who in
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the time of innocence would have drunk without being a thirst? Nay, sir,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: it was drinking for privacio priests upon inhabitum, I am
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: learned you see foaicundi caalises quem non fesira desertum we
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: poor innocence drink but too much without thirst, Not I
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: truly who am a sinner, For I never drink without thirst,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: either present or future, to prevent it. As you know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I drink for the thirst to come. I drink eternally.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: This is to me an eternity of drinking, and drinking
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: of eternity. Let us sing, Let us drink and tune
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: up our roundelais where is my funnel? What it seems?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I do not drink? But by an attorney? Do you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: wit yourselves to dry? Or do you dry to wet?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: You pish? I understand not the rhetoric, theoric I should say,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: But I help myself somewhat by the practice baste enough,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I sup I wet, I humct I moisten my gullet.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I drink, and all for fear of dying. Drink always,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and ye shall never die. If I drink not, I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: am a ground, dry, graveled and spent. I am stark
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: dead without drink, and my soul ready to fly into
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: some marsh amongst frogs. The soul never dwells in a
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: dry place. Drouth kills it o you butlers, creators of
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: new forms, make me of no drinker, a drinker, a
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: perenity and everlastingness of sprinkling and bedewing me through these
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: my parched insinewy bowels. He drinks in vain that feels
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: not the pleasure of it. This entereth into my veins.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: The pissing tools and urinal vessels shall have nothing of it.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I would willingly wash the tripes of the calf which
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I appareled this morning. I have pretty well now ballasted
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: my stomach and stuffed my paunch. If the papers of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: my bonds and bills could drink as well as I do,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: my creditors would not want for wine when they come
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to see me, or when they are to make any
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: formal exhibition of their rights to what of me they
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: can demand? This hand of yours spoils your nose? Oh?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: How many other such will enter here before this go out?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: What drink so shallow it is enough to break both
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: goods and petrol. This is called a cup of dissimulation
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: or flagonal hypocrisy. What difference is there between a bottle
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and a flagon? Great difference, For the bottle is stopped
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and shut up with a stoppel, but the flagon with
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a vice lab would tell st for me A buchin

  Speaker 1: the words our fathers drank lustily and emptied their cans
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: well cacked, well sung. Come let us drink. Will you
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: send nothing to the river? Here is one going to
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: wash the tripes. I drink no more than a sponge.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I drink like a templar knight, and I tanqumsponses, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I sicic at terra sine aqua. Give me a synonymon
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: for a gamin of bacon. It is the compulsory of drinkers.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: It is a pulley by a pulley rope. Wine is
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: let down into a cellar, and buy a gammin into
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the stomach. Hey, now, boys, hither, some drink, some drink.

  Speaker 1: There is no trouble in it. Risp ice personam pone

• 22:48
  Speaker 1: appeal in form this remnant in the bottom of the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: glass must follow its leader. I was wont heretofore to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: drink out all, but now I leave nothing. Let us
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: not make two much haste. It is requisite we carry
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: all along with us. Heyday, Here are tripes fit for
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: our sport and in earnest, excellent goata bilios of the

  Speaker 1: There is not a corner nor coney burrow in all
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: my body where this wine doth not ferret out my thirst.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Ho this will bang it soundly, but this shall banish
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: it utterly. Let us wind our horns by the sound
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: of flagons and bottles, and cry aloud that who whoever
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: hath lost his thirst, come not hither to seek it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Long clisters of drinking are to be voided without doors.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: The Great God made the planets, and we make the

  Speaker 1: my mouth. Sidio. The stone called asbestos is not more
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: unquenchable than the thirst of my paternity. Appetite comes with eating,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: says andngestin, but the thirst goes away with drinking. I
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: have a remedy against thirst, quite contrary to that which
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: is good against the biting of a mad dog. Keep
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: running after a dog and he will never bite you.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Drink always before the thirst, and it will never come
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: upon you. There I catch you, I awake you. Argus
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: had a hundred eyes for his sight. A butler should have,

  Speaker 1: let us moisten ourselves. It will be time to dry

• 26:37
  Speaker 1: liquor and celestial juice. Swill it over heartily, and spare not.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: It is a decoction of nectar and ambrosia. Chapter one,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: dot VI I dot How Gargantua was born in a
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: strange manner. Whilst they were on this discourse and pleasant
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: tattle of drinking, Gargamel began to be a little unwell
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: in her lower parts. Whereupon grangdesre arose from off the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: grass and fell to comfort her, very honestly and kindly,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: suspecting that she was in travail, and told her that
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it was best for her to sit down upon the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: grass under the willows, because she was like very shortly
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: to see young feet, and that therefore it was convenient
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: she should pluck up her spirits and take a good
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: heart of new At the fresh arrival of her baby,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: saying to her withal that although the pain was somewhat
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: grievous to her, it would be but of short continuance,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: and that the succeeding joy would quickly remove that sorrow
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: in such sort that she should not so much as
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: remember it on with a sheep's courage. Quoth he despatch
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: this boy, and we will speedily fall to work for
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the making of another. Ha said she. So well as
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: you speak at your own ease, you that are men, well, then,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: in the name of God, I'll do my best, seeing
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: that you will have it so. But would to God
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: that it were cut off from you? What said grangeser
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Ah said she, you are a good man. Indeed you
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: understand it well enough. What my member said he by
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the goat's blood, If it please you, that shall be
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: done instantly. Kus bring hither a knife. Alas said she,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the Lord forbid, and pray Jesus to forgive me. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: did not say it from my heart. Therefore let it alone,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and do not do it, neither more nor less any
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: kind of harm for my speaking so to you. But
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I am like to have work enough to do to
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: day in all for your member. Yet God bless you
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: and it courage. Courage said he take you no care
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: of the matter. Let the four foremost oxen do the work.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I will yet go drink one with more. And if
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: in the meantime anything befall you that may require my presence,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I will be so near to you that at the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: first whistling in your fist, I shall be with you
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: forthwith a little while after she began to groan, lament
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and cry. Then suddenly came the midwhile from all quarters,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: who groping her below found some polatteries, which was a
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: certain filthy stuff, and of a taste truly bad enough.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: This they thought had been the child. But it was
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: her fundament that was slipped out with the mollification of
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: her straight entrail, which you called the bumgut, And that
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: merely by eating of too many tripes, as we have
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: showed you before. Whereupon an old ugly trot in the company,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: who had the repute of an expert she physician, and
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: was come from Breeze Pale, near to Saint genew threescore
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: years before, made her so horrible a restrictive and binding medicine,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: and whereby all her larries, arspipes and conduits were so opellated, stopped, obstructed,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: and contracted, that you could hardly have opened and enlarged
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: them with your teeth, which is a terrible thing to think.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Upon seeing the devil at the mass at Saint Martin's
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: was puzzled with the like task, when with his teeth
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: he had lengthened out the parchment whereon he wrote the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: tittle Tattle of two young mangy whores. By this inconvenient,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the badel edens of her matrix were presently loosed, through
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: which the child sprang up and leaped, and so, entering
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: into the hollow vein, did climb by the diaphragm even
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: above her shoulders, where the vein divides itself into two,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and from thence, taking his way towards the left side,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: issued forth at her left ear. As soon as he
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: was born, he cried, not as other babes used to do, me's, me's, me's, me's,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: but with a high, sturdy and big voice, shouted about
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: some drink, some drink, some drink, as inviting all the
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: world to drink with him. The noise hereof was so
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: extremely great that it was heard in both the countries
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: at once of Bosi and biberrois, I doubt me that
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: you do not thoroughly believe the truth of this strange nativity.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Though you believe it not, I care not much. But
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: an honest man and of good judgment believeth still what
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: is told him and that which he finds written. Is
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: this beyond our law or our faith, against reason or
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: the Holy Scripture? For my part, I find nothing in
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the Sacred Bible that is against it. But tell me
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: if it had been the will of God, would you
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: say that he could not do it? Ha For favor's sake,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I beseech you never amblecoq or in peregifize your spirits
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: with these vain thoughts and idle conceits, For I tell
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you it is not impossible with God, and if He pleased,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: all women henceforth should bring forth their children at the ear.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Was not Bacchus engendered out of the very thigh of Jupiter.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Did not Rocketalede come out at his mother's heel and
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Crocmish from the slipper of his nurse. Was not Minerva
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: born of the brain even through the ear of Jove,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Adonis of the bark of a myrh tree, and Castor
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and pollocks of the dupe of that egg which was
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: laid and hatched by Lida. But you would wonder more
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and with far greater amazement, if I should now present
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: you with that chapter of Plinius, wherein he treateth of
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: strange births and contrary to nature. And yet am not
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I so impudent a liar as he was read the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: seventh book of his Natural History, chapter three, and trouble
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: not my head any more about this chapter one point
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: seven dot after what manner Gargantua had his name given him,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and how he tippled, bibbed and curried the can one
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: of the girls brought him wine one dash zero seven
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: dash zero eighteen. The good man Grangusier, drinking and making
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: merry with the rest, heard the horrible noise which his
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: son had made as he entered into the light of
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: this world, when he cried out some drink, some drink,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: some drink. Whereupon he said in French, k grand too,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: as I suppo lugaussier, that is to say, how great
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and nimble a throat thou hast, which the company hearing
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: said that verily the child ought to be called Gargantua,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: because it was the first word that after his birth,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: his father had spoke in imitation and at the example
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: of the ancient Hebrews, whereunto he condescended, and his mother
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: was very well pleased. Therewith in the meanwhile, to quiet
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the child, they gave him to drink a taylergot, that is,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: till his throat was like to crack with it. Then
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: was he carried to the font and their baptized according
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to the manner of good Christians. Immediately thereafter were appointed
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: for him seventeen thousand, nine hundred and thirteen cows of
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the towns of Pottiel and Breamen to furnish him with
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: milk in ordinary, for it was impossible to find a
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: nurse sufficient for him in all the country, considering the
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: great quantity of milk that was requisite for his nourishment.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Although there were not wanting some doctors of the opinion
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: of Scotus, who affirmed that his own mother gave him suck,
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: and that she could draw out of her breasts one thousand,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: four hundred two pipes and nine pails of milk at
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: every time, which indeed is not probable. And this point
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: hath been found duggishly scandalous and offensive to tender ears,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: for that it savored a little of heresy. Thus was
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: he handled for one year and ten months, after which time,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: by the advice of physicians, they began to carry him,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: and then was made for him a fine little cart,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: drawn with oxen of the invention of Jandinio, wherein they
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: led him hither and thither with great joy. And he
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: was worth the seeing, for he was a fine boy,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: had a burly physiognomy, and almost ten chins. He cried
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: very little, but beshit himself every hour, for to speak
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: truly of him, he was wonderfully phlegmatic in his posteriors,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: both by reason of his natural complexion and the accidental
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: disposition which had befallen him by his too much quaffing
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: of the septemberl juice. Yet without a cause did not
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: he sup one drop. For if he happened to be vexed, angry, displeased,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: or sorry, if he did fret, if he did weep,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: if he did cry, and what grievous quarters, whoever he
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: kept in bringing him some drink, he would be instantly pacified,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: reseated in his own temper, in a good humor again,
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: and as still and quiet as ever, one of his
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: governesses told me, swearing by her fig how he was
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: so accustomed to this kind of way, that at the
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: sound of pintes and flagons, he would on a sudden
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: fall into an ecstasy, as if he had then tasted
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: of the joys of paradise. So that they, upon consideration
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: of this his divine complexion, would every morning to cheer
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: him up, play with a knife upon the glasses, on
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: the bottles with their stopples, and on the pottle pots
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: with their lids and covers. At the sound whereof he
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: became gay, did leap for joy, would loll and rock
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: himself in the cradle, then gnawd with his head, monochordizing
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: with his fingers, and bardonizing with his tail Chapter one
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: point eight dot. How they apparelled Gargantua. Being of this age,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: his father ordained to have clothes made to him in
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: his own livery, which was white and blue. To work.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Then went the tailors, and with great expedition were those
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: clothes made, cut and sewed according to the fashion that
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: was then in request. I find by the ancient records
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: or pans carts to be seen in the Chamber of
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Accounts or court of the Exchequer at Montsrou, that he
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: was accoutered in manner as followeth, to make him Every
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: shirt of his were taken up nine hundred ells of
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: chastellrood linen, and two hundred for the gussets, in manner
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: of cushions, which they put under his armpits. His shirt
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: was not gathered nor plaited, for the plating of shirts
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: was not found out till the seamstresses, when the point
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: of their needle bissogn or du cal English the eye
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: of the needle was broken, began to work and occupy
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: with the tail. There were taken up for his doublet
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: eight hundred thirteen ells of white satin, and for his
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: points fifteen hundred and nine dogs skins and a half.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Then was it that men began to tie their breeches
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: to their doublets, and not their doublets to their breeches,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: For it is against nature, as hath most amply been
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: showed by Occum upon the exponables of Master haltachass aid
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: for his breeches were taken up eleven hundred and five
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: ells and a third of white broadcloth. They were cut
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: in the form of pillars chamfered, channeled and pinked behind
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: that they might not overheat his reins, and were within
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the panes puffed out with the lining of as much
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: blue damask as was needful, and remark that he had
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: very good leg harness, proportionable to the rest of his stature.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: For his cod piece were used sixteen el's in a
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: quarter of the same cloth, and it was fashioned on
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the top like onto a triumphant arch, most gallantly fastened
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: with two enameled clasps, in each of which was set
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: a great emerald as big as an orange. For, as
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: says orpheus live di lepitibus and plinius libro ultimo, it
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: hath an erective virtue and comfortative of the natural member.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: The exeterure, out jecting, or outstanding of his codpiece was
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: of the length of a yard, jagged and pinked and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: withal bagging and strutting out with the blue damask lining
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: after the manner of his breeches. But had you seen
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the fair embroidery of the small needlework pearl and the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: curiously interlaced knots by the golden smiths art set out
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: and trimmed with rich diamonds, precious rubies, fine turquoises, costly emeralds,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: and Persian pearls. You would have compared it to a
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: fair cornucopia or horn of abundance, such as you see
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: in antiques, or as Rhea gave to the two nymphs
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Amalthea and Ida, the nurses of Jupiter, and like to
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: that horn of abundance, it was still gallant, succulent, droppy, sappy, pithy, lively,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: always flourishing, always fructifying, full of juice, full of flour,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: full of fruit, and all manner of delight. I avow God,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: it would have done one good to have seen him.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: But I will tell you more of him in the
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: book which I have made of the dignity of codpieces.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: One thing I will tell you that, as it was
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: both long and large, so was it well furnished and
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: vittled within nothing like unto the hypocritical codpieces of some
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: fond wooers and wench courtiers, which are stuffed only with wind.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: To the great prejudice of the female sex. For his
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: shoes were taken up four hundred and six ells of
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: blue crimson velvet, and were very neatly cut by parallel
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: lines joined in uniform cylinders. For the soling of them
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: were made use of eleven hundred hides of brown cows
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: chopen like the tail of a keeling. For his coat
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: were taken up eighteen hundred ells of blue velvet dyed
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: in grain, embroidered in its borders with fair jilly flowers
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: in the middle, decked with silver pearl intermixed with plates
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: of gold and store of pearls, hereby showing that in
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: his time he would prove an especial good fellow. In
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: singular whipcan. His girdle was made of three hundred ells
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: and a half of silken serge, half white and half blue.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: If I mistake it not. His sword was not of Valencia,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: nor his dagger of saragassa, for his father could not
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: endure these hidalgos borachios Moraniseto's como diablos. But he had
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: a fair sword made of wood, and the dagger of
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: boiled leather, as well painted and gilded as any man
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: could wish. His purse was made of the cod of
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: an elephant, which was given him by her Precontal Proconsul
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: of Libia. For his gown were employed nine thousand six
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: hundred ells, wanting two thirds of blue velvet. As before
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: all so diagonally pearled that by true perspective issued thence
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: an unnamed color, like that you see in the necks
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: of turtle doves or turkey cocks, which wonderfully rejoiced the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: eyes of the beholders. For his bonnet or cap were
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: taken up three hundred two ells and a quarter of
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: white velvet, and the form thereof was wide and round
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: of the bigness of his head. For his father said
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: that the caps of the Marabeyse fashion, made like the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: cover of a paste, would one time or other bring
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: a mischief on those that wore them. For his plume
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: he wore a fair great blue feather plucked from an
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: on a crodal of the country of Hyrcania, the wild,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: very prettily hanging down over his right ear. For the
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: jewel or brooch which in his cap he carried, he
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: had in a cake of gold weighing three score and
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: eight marks, a fair piece enameled, where therein was portrayed
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: a man's body with two heads looking towards one another,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: for arms, for feet, two arses, such as Plato in
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Symposio says, was the mystical beginning of man's nature, and
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: about it was written in ionic letters a game ou
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: zdi ta otes, or rather anerkaigyun zugata anthrotos idiotata, that
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: is very t muliar junct in propryusine homo. To wear
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: about his neck, he had a golden chain weighing twenty
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: five thousand, sixty three marks of gold, the lynks thereof
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: being made after the manner of great berries, amongst which
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: were set in worked green jaspers and raven and cut
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: dragon like, all environed with beams and sparks. As King
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Nicepsos of old was wont to wear them, and it
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: reached down to the very bust of the rising of
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: his belly, whereby he reaped great benefit all his life,
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: long as the Greek physicians know well enough. For his
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: gloves were put in work sixteen otters skins, and three
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: of the loucris or men eating wolves, for the bordering
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: of them, and of this stuff were they made by
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the appointment of the cabalists of Sanloland. As for the
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: rings which his father would have him to wear, to
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: renew the ancient mark of nobility, he had on the
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: forefinger of his left hand a carbuncle as big as
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: an Ostrich's egg, and chased very daintily in gold, of
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: the fineness of a Turkey seraph. Upon the middle finger
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: of the same hand, he had a ring made of
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: four medals together of the strangest fashion that ever was seen,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: so that the steel did not crash against the gold,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: nor the silver crushed the copper. All this was made
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: by Captain Chapwi's and Alcafibus, his good agent. On the
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: medical finger of his right hand he had a ring
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: made spire wise, wherein was set a perfect ballast ruby
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: appointed diamond, and a ficien emerald of an inestimable value.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: For Hans Carvel, the King of Melinda's jeweler, esteemed them
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: at the rate of threescore nine millions, eight hundred ninety
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: four thousand and eighteen French crowns of Berry, and at
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: so so much did the Falcres of Augsburg prize them.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Chapter one point nine dot The colors and liveries of Gargantua.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Gargantua's colors were white and blue, as I have showed
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: you before, by which his father would give us to
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: understand that his son to him was a heavenly joy,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: for the white did signify gladness, pleasure, delight and rejoicing,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: and the blue celestial things. I know well enough that
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: in reading this you laugh at the old drinker, and
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: hold this exposition of colors to be very extravagant and
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: utterly disagreeable to reason. Because white is said to signify
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: faith and blue constancy. But without moving, vexing, heating, or
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: putting you in a chafe, for the weather is dangerous,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: answer me, if it please you, For no other compulsory
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: way of arguing, will I use towards you or any else?
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Only now? And then I will mention a word or
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: two of my bottle. What is it that induseth you?
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: What stirs you up to believe? Or who told you
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: that white signifieth faith and blue constancy? An old paltry
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: book say you sold by the hawking Pedlers and ballad Mungers,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: entitled the Blason of Colors? Who made it? Whoever it was,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: he was wise, and that he did not set his
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: name to it. But besides, I know not what I
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: should rather admire in him, his presumption or his sottishness,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: his presumption and overweening, for that he should, without reason,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: without cause, or without any appearance of truth, have dared
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: to prescribe by his private authority what things should be
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: denotated and signified by the color, which is the custom
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: of tyrants who will have their will to bear sway
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: instead of equity, and not of the wise and learned, who,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: with the evidence of reason, satisfy their readers. His sottishness
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: and want of spirit, in that he thought that without
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: any other demonstration or sufficient argument, the world would be
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: pleased to make his blockish and ridiculous impositions the rule
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: of their devices, in effect, according to the proverb to
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: a shitten tale fails never ordure. He hath found, it seems,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: some simple ninny in those rude times of old, when
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: the wearing of high round bonnets was in fashion, who
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: gave some trust to his writings, according to which they
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: carved and engraved their apithems and mottoes, trapped and caparisoned
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: their mules and sumter horses, appareled, their pages, quartered, their breeches, bordered,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: their gloves, fringed the curtains and valances of their beds, painted,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: their ensigns, composed songs, and which is worse placed. Many
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: deceitful jugglings and unworthy bassed tricks, undiscoveredly amongst the very
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: chastest matrons and most reverend sciences, in the like darkness
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and mist of ignorance are wrapped up these vainglorious courtiers
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: and name transposers, who, going about in their praises to
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: signify esperance, that is, hope, have portrayed a sphere and
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: bird's pennies for pains, alankoly, which is the flower, columb
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: beam for melancholy, a waning moon or crescent to show
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: the increasing or rising of one's fortune, a bench rotten
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: and broken to signify bankrupt non in a corselet for
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: non der habit, otherwise non durab it. It shall not
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: last unlit sands seal, that is, a bed without a
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: tester for unlicensee, a graduated person as bachelor in divinity,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: or utter barrister at law, which are equivocal, so absurd
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and witless, so barbarous and clownish, that a fox's tail
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: should be fastened to the neck piece of and a
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: vizard made of a cow's herd given to every one
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: that henceforth should offer after the restitution of learning to
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: make use of any such fopperies in France by the
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: same reasons, if reasons I should call them, and not
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: ravings rather an idle triflings about words. Might I cause
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: paint a pannier to signify that I am in pain,
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: a mustard pot, that my heart tarries much for it,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: one pissing upwards for a bishop, the bottom of a
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: pair of breeches, for a vessel full of fart hings,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: a cod piece for the office of the clerks of
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: the sentences, decrees or judgments, or rather, as the English
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: bears it, for the tale of a codfish, and a
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: dog's turred for the dainty turret wherein lies the love
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: of my sweetheart. Far otherwise did heretofore the sages of Egypt,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: when they wrote by letters which they called hieroglyphics, which
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: none understood who were not skilled in the virtue, property,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: and nature of the things represented by them, of which
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Orius Apollon Hath in Greek composed two books, and Polyphilus,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: in his Dream of Love set down more in France.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: You have a taste of them in the device or
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: impressor of my Lord Admiral, which was carried before that
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: time by Octavian Augustus. But my little skiff alongst these
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: unpleasant gulfs and shoals will sail no further. Therefore must
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: I return to the port from whence I came. Yet,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: do I hope one day to write more at large
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: of these things, and to show, both by philosophical arguments
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: and authorities received and approved of by and from all antiquity,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: what and how many colors there are in nature, and
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: what may be signified by every one of them. If
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: God save the mold of my cap, which is my
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: best wine pot, as my grandam said Chapter one, dot
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: x dot, of that which is signified by the colors
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: white and blue, the white therefore signifieth joy, solace, and gladness,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: and that not at random, but upon just in very
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: good grounds, which you may perceive to be true. If
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: laying aside all prejudicate affections, you will but give ear
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: to what presently I shall expound unto you. Aristotle said
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: that supposing two things contrary in their kind as good
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: and evil, virtue and vice, heat and cold, white and black,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: pleasure and pain, joy and grief, and so of others,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: if you couple them, in such manner, at the contrary
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: of one kind may agree in reason with the contrary
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: of the other, it must follow by consequence that the
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: other contrary must answer to the remnant opposite to day
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: that wherewith it is conferred, as for example, virtue and
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: vice are contrary in one kind, so are good and evil.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: If one of the contraries of the first kind be
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: consonant to one of those of the second, as virtue
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: and goodness. For it is clear that virtue is good,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: so shall the other two contraries, which are evil and vice,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: have the same connection, for vice is evil. This logical
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: rule being understood, take these two contraries joy and sadness.
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: Then these other two white and black, for they are
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: physically contrary. If so be, then that black do signify
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: grief by good reason, then should white import joy? Nor
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: is this signification instituted by human imposition, but by the
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: universal consent of the world, received, which philosophers call just gentium,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: the law of nations, or an uncontrollable right of force
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: in all countries whatsoever. For you know well enough that
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: all people, and all languages and nations, except up the
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: ancient syricusins and certain archives who had cross and thwarting souls,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: when they mean outwardly to give evidence of their sorrow,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: go in black, and all morning is done with black,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: which general consent is not without some argument and reason
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: in nature, the which every man may by himself very
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: suddenly comprehend without the instruction of any And this we
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: call the law of nature. By virtue of the same
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: natural instinct, we know that by white all the world
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: hath understood joy, gladness, mirth, pleasure and delight. In former
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: times the Thracians and Credence did mark their good, propitious
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: and fortunate days with white stones, and their sad, dismal
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: and unfortunate ones with black. Is not the night mournful,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: sad and melancholic. It is black and dark by the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: privation of light. Doth not the light comfort all the world.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: And it is more white than anything else, which to
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: prove I could direct you to the book of Lorentiu's
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Valor against Bartilus, But an evangelical testimony I hope will
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: content you. Math seventeen. It is said that at the
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: transfiguration of our Lord vestimenta eejus fact a Saint albasicket
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Lux his apparel was made white, like the light by
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: which lightsome whiteness. He gave his three apostles to understand
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: the idea and figure of the eternal joys. For by
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: the light are all men comforted. According to the word
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: of the old woman, who, although she had never a
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: tooth in her head, was wont to say bona lux
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: and tobit. Chapter five. After he had lost his sight,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: when Rafael saluted him, answered, what joy can I have
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: that do not see the light of heaven in that color?
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Did the angels testify the joy of the whole world,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: that the resurrection of our Savior John twenty, and that
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: his ascension acts one with the light color of vesture?
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Did Saint John the Evangelist a Posi four point seven
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: see the faithful clothed in the heavenly blessed Jerusalem. Read
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: the ancient, both Greek and Latin histories, and you shall
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: find that the town of Alba, the first pattern of Rome,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: was founded and so named by reason of a white
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: sow that was seen there. You shall likewise find in
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: those stories that when any man, after he had vanquished
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: his enemies, was by decree of the Senate to enter
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: into Rome triumphantly, he usually rode in a chariot drawn
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: by white horses, which in the ovation triumph was also
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: the custom. For by no sign or color would they
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: so significantly express the joy of their coming as by
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: the white. You shall there also find how Pericles, the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: general of the Athenians, would needs have that part of
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: his army, unto whose lot befell the white beams, to
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: spend the whole day in mirth, pleasure, and ease, whilst
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: the rest were a fighting. A thousand other examples and
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: places could I allege to this purpose, but that it
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: is not here where I should do it. By understanding
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: hereof you may resolve one prop which Alexander Aphrodisius hath
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: accounted unanswerable. Why the lion, who with his only cry
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: and roaring affrights all beasts, dreads and feareth only a
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: white cock? For as Proclus seth librod des Sacrificio etymaggia,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: it is because the presence of the virtue of the sun,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: which is the organ and promptuary of all terrestrial and
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: sidereal light, doth more symbolize and agree with a white
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: cock as well in regard of that color, as of
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: his property and specifical quality, than with a lion. He
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: saith furthermore that devils have been often seen in the
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: shape of lions, which at the sight of a white cock,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: have presently vanished. This is the cause why galli or
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: galluses so are the Frenchmen called, because they are naturally
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: white as milk, which the Greeks call gala. Do willingly
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: wear in their CAP's white feathers, for by nature they
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: are of a candid disposition, merry, kind, gracious, and well beloved,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: And for their cognizance in arms have the whitest flower
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: of any the flower de luce or lily. If you
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: demand how by white nature would have us understand joy
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: and gladness, I answer that the analogy in uniformity is thus,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: for as the white doth outwardly disperse and scatter the
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: rays of the sight, whereby the optic spirits are manifestly dissolved.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: According to the opinion of Aristotle in his Problems and
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Perspective Treatises, as you may likewise perceive by experience, when
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: you pass over mountains covered with snow, how you will
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: complain that you cannot see well, as Xenophon writes to
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: have happened to his men and as Galen very largely
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Declareth Lib. Ten the U s u pardianm. Just so
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: the heart with excessive joy is inwardly dilated and suffereth
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: a manifest resolution of the vital spirits, which may go
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: so far on that it may thereby be deprived of
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: its nourishment, and by consequence of life itself, by this
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: perichary or extremity of gladness. As Galen Seth Lib twelve,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: method Lib five do Lo size effectus and Lib two
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: the symtimatum causes and as it hath come to pass
• 55:06

• 55:14

• 55:37
  Speaker 1: and others who died with joy and as Avison speaketh
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: in two Canon E. T. Lib. Devereb Cordus of the Saffron,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: that it doth so rejoice the heart, that if you
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: take of it excessively, it will, by a superfluous resolution
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: in dilation, deprive it altogether of life. Here peruse alyx
• 55:58

• 56:05
  Speaker 1: But what it seems I am entered further into this
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: point than I intended at the first. Here therefore will
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I strike sail, referring the rest to that book of
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: mine which handleth this matter to the full. Meanwhile, in
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: a word, I will tell you that blue doth certainly
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: signify heaven and heavenly things by the same very tokens
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: and symbols that white signifieth joy and pleasure. Chapter one
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: point eleven dot of the youthful Age of Gargantua, on
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: the Road to the Castle one dash eleven dash zero
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: twenty six. Gargantua, from three years upwards unto five was
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: brought up and instructed in all convenient discipline by the
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: commandment of his father, and spent that time like the
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: other little children of the country, that is, in drinking,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: eating and sleeping, in eating, sleeping and drinking, and in sleeping,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: drinking and eating. Still he swallowed and rolled up and
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: down himself in the mire and dirt. He blurred and
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: sullied his nose with filth. He blotted and smutched his
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: face with any kind of scurvy stuff. He trod down
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: his shoes in the heel at the flies. He did
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: oftentimes yawn and ran very heartily after the butterflies. The
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: empire whereof belonged to his father, He pissed in his shoes,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: shid in his shirt, and wiped his nose on his sleeve.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: He did let his snot and snivel fall in his pottage,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: and dabbled, paddled, and slobberd everywhere. He would drink in
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: his slipper, and ordinarily rub his belly against a panier.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: He sharpened his teeth with a top, washed his hands
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: with his broth, and combed his head with a bowl.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: He would sit down betwixt two stools and his arse
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: to the ground, would cover himself with a wet sack,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: and drink in, eating of his soup. He did eat
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: his cake sometimes without bread, would bite in laughing and
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: laugh in biting. Oftentimes did he spit in the basin
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: and fart for fatness, piss against the sun, and hide
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: himself in the water for fear of rain. He would
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: strike out of the cold iron, be often in the
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: dumps and frig and wriggle it. He would flay the fox,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: say the apes, pot a noster, return to his sheep,
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: and turn the hogs to the hay. He would beat
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: the dogs before the lion, put the plow before the oxen,
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: and claw where it did not itch. He would pump
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: one to draw somewhat out of him by griping. All
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: would hold fast nothing, and always eat his white bread first.
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: He shewed the geese, kept a self tickling to make
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: himself laugh, and was very steadable in the kitchen, made
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: a mock at the gods, would cause sing magnificod at maddens,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: and found it very convenient so to do. He would
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: eat cabbage and shine beats new flies in a dish
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: of milk, and would make them lose their feet. He
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: would scrape paper, blur parchment, then run away as hard
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: as he could. He would pull at the kid's leather
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: or vomit up his dinner, then reckon without his host.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: He would beat the bushes without catching the birds. Thought
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: the moon was made of green cheese, and that blatters
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: are lanterns. Out of one sack, he would take two
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: mulchures or fees for grinding, would act the asses part
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: to get some brand, and of his fist would make
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: a mallet. He took the cranes at the first leap,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: and would have the mail coats to be made link
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: after link. He always looked a given horse in the mouth,
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: leaped from the cock to the ass, and put one
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: ripe between two green by robbing Peter, he paid Paul.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: He kept the moon from the wolves, and hoped to
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: catch larks if ever the heavens should fall. He did
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: make of necessity virtue of such bread, such pottage, and
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: cared as little for the peeled as for the shaven.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: Every morning he did cast up his gorge, and his
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: father's little dogs eat out of the dish with him,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: and he with them. He would bite their ears, and
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: they would scratch his nose. He would blow in their arses,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: and they would lick his chaps. But hart, good fellows,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: the spiggodill betake you and whirl round your brains if
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: you do not give ear. This little letcher was always
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: groping his nurses and governesses upside down arceversy topsy turvy
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: harry burriquet with a jacko hike h y c k
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: g O, handling them very rudely in jumbling and tumbling
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: them to keep them going, for he had already begun
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: to exercise the tools and put his cod piece in practice,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: which codpiece or braguette his governesses did every day deck
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: up and adorn with fair nosegays, curious rubies, sweet flowers,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: and fine silken tufts, and very pleasantly would pass their
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: time in taking you know what between their fingers and
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: dandling it till it did revive and creep up to
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: the bulk and stiffness of a suppository or streak magdalion,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: which is a hard rolled up salve spread upon leather.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Then did they burst out in laughing when they saw
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: it lift up its ears, as if the sport had
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: liked them. One of them would call it her little dill,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: her staff of love, her quility, her faucetin her dandelily, another,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: her pen, her jolly kyle, her bablerate, her memberton, her
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: quickset imp another again, her branch of coral, her female adamant,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: her plaquet racket, her cypri incepter, her jewel for ladies,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: and some of the other women would give it these names,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: my bungattee, my stoppel two, my bush rusher, my gallant wimble,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: my pretty boorer, my coneyborough ferret, my little piercer, my augratine,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: my dangling hangars down right to it stiff and stout in,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: and to my pusher dresser pouting stick, my honey pipe,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: my pretty pillocock, linky pinkie futility, my lusty and dewy
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: and crimson chiveling, my little creol brettawheel, my pretty rogue,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: and so forth it belongs to me, said one. It
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: is mine, said the other, what quoth a third? Shall
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: I have no share in it? By my faith? I
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: will cut it? Then? Ha to cut it, said the other?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Would hurt him, madam, do you cut little children's things?
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Were his cut off, he would be then Monsieur Sand's cue,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: the curtailed master, and that he might play and sport
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: himself after the manner of the other little children of
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: the country. They made him a fair weather whirljack of
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: the wings of the windmill, of my rebel eyes Chapter
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: one point twelve, dot of gargantuous wooden horses led them
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: up the great staircase one dash, twelve dash zero twenty eight. Afterwards,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: that he might be all his lifetime a good rider,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: they made to him a fair great horse of wood,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: which he did make leap, curvette, jerk out behind, and
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: skip forward, all at a time, to pace, trot rack, gallop, amble,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: to play the hobby, the hackney gelding, go the gate
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: of the camel, and of the wild ass. He made
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: him also change his color of as the monks of Coltibo,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: according to the variety of their holidays, used to do
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: their clothes from bay brown to sorrel, dapple, gray, mouse,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: dun deer color, roan cow color, gingeeleine, skewed color, piebald,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: and the color of the savage alk. Himself of a
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: huge big post, made a hunting nag, and another for
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: daily service, of the beam of a vine press, and
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: of a great oak, made up a mule with a
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: footcloth for his chamber. Besides this he had ten or
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: twelve spare horses and seven horses for post, and all
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: these were lodged in his own chamber close by his bedside.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: One day, the Lord of Bretenbag Payinnensack came to visit
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: his father in great bravery and with a gallant train,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: and at the same time to see him came likewise
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: the Duke of Freemeal, Francrepis, and the Earl of wet
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Gallet Mouil. Event the house, truly, for so many guests
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: at once, was somewhat narrow, but especially the stables, whereupon
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the stone steward and harbinger of the said Lord Bretenbagg,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: to know if there were any other empty stable in
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: the house, came to Gargantua a little young lad, and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: secretly asked him where the stables of the great horses were,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: thinking that children would be ready to tell all. Then
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: he led them up along the stairs of the castle,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: passing by the second hall, onto a broad great gallery,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: by which they entered into a large tower. And as
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: they were going up at another pair of stairs, said
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: the harbinger to the steward, this child deceives us, for
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: the stables are never on the top of the house.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: You may be mistaken, said the steward, for I know
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: some places at Lyons, at the base met at Chaisnon,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: and elsewhere, which have their stables at the very tops
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: of the houses. So it may be that behind the
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: house there is a way to come to this ascent.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: But I will question with him further. Then, said he
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: to Gargantua, my pretty little boy, whither do you lead
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: us to the stable, said he of my great horses.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: We are almost come to it. We have but these
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: stairs to go up at. Then, leading them alongst another
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: great hall, he brought them into his chamber, and, opening
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: the door, said unto them, this is the stable you
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: ask for. This is my jenet, this is my gelding,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: this is my courser, and this is my hackney, and
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: laid on them with a great lever I will bestow
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: upon you, said he this Friesland horse, I had him
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: from Frankfort. Yet will I give him you? For he
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: is a pretty little nag and will go very well
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: with a tesseel of goshawks, half a dozen of spaniels,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: and a brace of greyhounds. Thus are you king of
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: the hares and partridges for all this winter? By Saint John,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: said they, now we are paid. He hath gleeked us
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: to some purpose, bobbed we are now forever I deny it,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: said he. He was not here above three days. Judge
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: you now whether they had most cause either to hide
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: their heads for shame or to laugh at the jest.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: As they were going down again. Thus a maid, he
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: asked them, will you have a whimwham auboliere? What is that?
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: Said they? It is said he five turns to make
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: you a muzzle. To day, said the steward. Though we
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: happen to be roasted, we shall not be burnt, for
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: we are pretty well quipped and larted. In my opinion, O,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: my jolly dapper boy, thou hast given us a gudgeon.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: I hope to see thee Pope before I die, I
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: think so, said he myself. And then shall you be
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: a puppy, And this gentle popenjay a perfect pap lard
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: that is dissembler? Well well, said the harbinger, But said Gargantua,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: guess how many stitches there are in my mother's smock
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: sixteen Quote the harbinger. You do not speak gospel, said Gargantua,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: for there is sent before and sent behind. And you
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: did not reckon the mill considering the two under holes,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: when said the harbinger. Even then said Gargantua, when they
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: made a shovel, of your nose to take up a
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: quarter of dirt, and of your throat of funnel, wherewith
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: to put it into another vessel, because the bottom of
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: the old one was out. Coxpod, said the steward, we
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: have met with a prayer. Farewell, master Tatler, God keep you.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: So goodly are the words which you come out with,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: and so fresh in your mouth that it had need
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: to be salted. Thus, going down in great haste under
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: the arch of the stairs, they let fall the great
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: lever which he had put upon their backs, whereupon Gargantua said,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: what a devil you are? It seems but bad horsemen
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: that suffer your builder to fail you when you need
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: him most. If you were to go from hence to Cahusac,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: whether had you rather ride on a gosling or lead
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: a sow in a leash? I had rather drink, said
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: the harbinger. With this they entered into the lower hall
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: where the company was, and, relating to them this new story,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: they made them laugh like a swarm of flies. Chapter
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: one point thirteen dot how Gargantua's wonderful understanding became known
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: to his father, Grangosier, by the invention of a torchical
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: or white breach. About the end of the fifth year, Grangeesier,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: returning from the conquest of the Canarians, went by the
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: way to see his son Gargantua. There was he filled
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: with joy, as such a father might be at the
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: sight of such a child of his, And whilst he
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: kissed and embraced him, he asked many childish questions of
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: him about divers matters, and drank very freely with him
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: and with his governesses, of whom in great earnest he asked,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: amongst other things, whether they had been careful to keep
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: him clean and sweet. To this Gargantua answered that he
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: had taken such a course for that himself, that in
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: all the country there was not to be found a
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: cleanlier boy than he. How is that, said grangoisseer, I
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: have answered, Gargantua, by a long and curious experience, found
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: out a means to wipe my bomb, the most lordly,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: the most ex excellent, and the most convenient that ever
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: was seen. What is that, said grangire? How is it?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I will tell you by and by, said Gargantua. Once
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: I did wipe me with a gentlewoman's velvet mask, and
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: found it to be good, for the softness of the
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: silk was very voluptuous and pleasant to my fundament. Another
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: time with one of their hoods, and in like manner
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: that was comfortable. At another time with a lady's neckerchief.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: And after that I wiped me with some mere pieces
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: of hers made of crimson satin. But there was such
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: a number of golden spangles in them, turty round things
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: a pox take them, that they fetched away all the
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: skin of my tail with a vengeance. Now I wish
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: Saint Antony's fire burned the bum gut of the goldsmith
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: that made them, and of her that wore them. This
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: hurt I cured by wiping myself with a page's cap
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: garnished with a feather after the switzer's fashion. Afterwards, in
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: dunging behind a bush, I found a march cat, and
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: with it I wiped my breech, But her claws were
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: so sharp that they scratched and exulcerated all my perinee.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Of this I recovered the next morning. Thereafter by wiping
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: myself with my mother's gloves of a most excellent perfume
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: in scent of the Arabian benin. After that I wiped
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: me with sage, with fennel, with a net, with marjoram,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: with roses, with gourd leaves, with beats, with coalwort, with
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: leaves of the vine tree, with mallows, wo blade which
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: is a tail scarlet, with lettuce, and with spinach leaves.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: All this did very great good to my leg. Then
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: with mercury, with parsley, with nettles, with comfrey, but that
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: gave me the bloody flux of lombardy, which I healed
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: by wiping me with my braguette. Then I wiped my
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: tail in the sheets, in the coverlet, in the curtains,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: with a cushion with arras hangings, with a green carpet,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: with a tablecloth, with a napkin, with a handkerchief, with
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: a combing cloth, in all which I found more pleasure
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: than do the mangy dogs when you rub them. YEA,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: But said Grangdessere, Which tortical did you find to be
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: the best? I was coming to it, said Gargantua. And
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: by and by shall you hear the two autumn and
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: know the whole mystery. And not of the matter. I
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: wiped myself with hay, with straw, with thatch, rushes with flax,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: with wool with paper, But who his foul tail with
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: paper wipes shall at his balocks leave some chips? What
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: said Grangdesre, my little rogue, Hast thou been at the
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: pot that thou dost rhyme already? Yes? Yes, my lord
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: the king, answered Gargantua, I can rhyme gallantly and rhyme
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: till I become horse with rooum hark. What our privy
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: says to the skidders shittered, squirtered, crackered turtoise, thy bung
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: hath flung some dung on us filtheart cackered, stinkered, Saint
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: Antony's fire, seize on thy tone bone. If thy dirty
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: doomby thou do not wipe, ere thou be gone? Will
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: you have any more of it? Yes? Yes, answered Grangeissere.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Then said Gargantua, aroundelais in shitting yesterday, I did know
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: the sessa to my ars, did oh? The smell was
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: such came from that slunk that I was with it
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: all bestunk OH had. But then some brave senior brought
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: her to me. I waited for in shitting I would
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: have cleft her water gap and joined it close to
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: my flip flap, whilst she had with her fingers guarded
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: my foul knockndrol all bemurdered in shitting. Now say that
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: I can do nothing by the murdy. They are not
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: of my making, but I heard them of this good
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: old Grandam that you see here, and ever since have
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: retained them in the budget of my memory. Let us
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: return to our purpose, said Grangeissere. What said Gargantua, to skite, No,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: said Grangoissere. But to wipe our tail? But said Gargantua,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: will not you be content to pay a puncheon of
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: bread and wine if I do not blank and gravel
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: you in this matter and put you to a nonpluss. Yes, truly,
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: said Grangisere. There is no need of wiping one's tail,
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: said Gargantua. But when it is foul foul, it cannot
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: be unless one have been a skidding skite. Than we
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: must before we wipe our tails. O, my pretty little
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: waggish boy, said Grangasseir. What an excellent with thou hast,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: I will make thee very shortly proceed doctor in the
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: jovial quirks of gay learning, And that by g for
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: thou hast more with than age. Now I prithee go
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: on in this torcaculative or wipe bummatory discourse, And by
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: my beard I swear for one puncheon thou shalt have
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: threescore pipes. I mean of the good Breton wine, not
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: that which grows in Britain, but in the good country
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: of Varan. Afterwards, I wiped my bum, said gargantua, with
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: a kerchief, with a pillow, with a pantiful, with a pouch,
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: with a panier, but that was a wicked and unpleasant tortical.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: Then with a hat of halfes. Note that some are
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: shorn and others shaggy, some velvet, others covered with taffety's,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: and others with satin. The best of all these is
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: the shaggy hat, for it makes a very neat absturs
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: of the fecal matter. Afterwards I wiped my tail with
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: a hen, with a cock, with a pullet, with a
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: calf's skin, with a hair, with a pigeon, with a cormorant,
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: with an attorney's bag, with a montero, with a koif,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: with a falconer's lure. But to conclude, I say and
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: maintain that of all torchicals, arse wisps, bum fodders, tail napkins,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: bum whole cleansers, and white breeches. There is none in
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: the world comparable to the neck of a goose that
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: is well downed. If you hold her head betwixt your legs,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: and believe me therein upon mine honor, for you will
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: thereby feel in your knuckle a most wonderful pleasure, both
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: in regard of the softness of the said down and
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: of the temperate heat of the goose, which is easily
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: communicated to the bumgut and the rest of the inwards,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: in so far as to cut even to the regions
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: of the heart and brains. And think not that the
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: felicity of the heroes and demigods in the Alysian fields
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: consisteth either in their asphodel, ambrosia or nectar, as our
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: old women here used to say. But in this, according
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: to my judgment, that they wiped their tails with the
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: neck of a goose, holding her head betwixt their legs.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: And such is the opinion of Master John of Scotland
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: alias Gotus, Chapter one point fourteen dot. How Gargantua was
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: taught Latin by a sophister the good man grang this year,
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: having heard this discourse, was ravished with admiration considering the
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: high reach and marvelous understanding of his son Gargantua, and
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: said to his governesses, Philip, King of Macedon, knew the
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: great wit of his son Alexander by his skillful managing
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: of a horse. For his horse, Bucephalus, was so fierce
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: and unruly that none durst adventure to ride him. After
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: that he had given to his riders such devilish falls,
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: breaking the neck of this man, the other man's leg,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: bre aiding one, and putting another out of his jawbone.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: This by Alexander being considered one day in the hippodrome,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: which was a place appointed for the breaking and managing
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: of great horses, he perceived that the fury of the
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: horse proceeded merely from the fear he had of his
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: own shadow, whereupon, getting on his back, he run him
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: against the sun, so that the shadow fell behind, and
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: by that means tamed the horse and brought him to
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: his hand. Whereby his father, knowing the divine judgment that
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: was in him, caused him most carefully to be instructed
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: by Aristotle, who at that time was highly renowned above
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: all the philosophers of Greece, after the same manner. I
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: tell you that by this only discourse which now I
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: have here had before you with my son Gargantua, I
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: know that his understanding doth participate of some divinity, and
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: that if he be well taught and have that education
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: which is fitting, he will attain to a supreme degree
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: of wisdom. Therefore, will I commit him to some learned
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: man to have him indoctrinated according to his capacity, and
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: will spare no cost. Presently they appointed him a great
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: sofister doctor called Master tuble Holofernes, who taught him his A. B. C.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: So well that he could say it by heart backwards.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: And about this he was five years and three months.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Then read he to him doughnut lo facet fotlet and
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Alanis in Parabolis. About this he was thirteen years, six
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: months and two weeks. But you must remark that in
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: the meantime he did learn to write in Gothic characters,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: and that he wrote all his books for the art
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: of printing was not then in use, and did ordinarily
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: carry a great pen in inkhorn, weighing about seven thousand
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: quintals that is seven hundred thousand pound weight. The pena
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: whereof was as big and as long as the great
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: pillars of ane, and the horn was hanging to it
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: in great iron chains, it being of the wideness of
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: a ton of merchant ware. After that he read unto
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: him the book De Mody Significandy, with the commentaries of
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: her Byes of fos Quinn, of Traptias, of Gualhat, of
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: John caff of Bolognio, of Berling Guandis, and a rabble
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: of others. And herein he spent more than eighteen years
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: and eleven months, and was so well versed in it
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: that to try masteries in school disputes with his condisciples,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: he would recite it by heart backwards, and did sometimes
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: prove on his finger ends to his mother quot the
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: mody significandy non arat scientia. Then did he read to
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: him the compost for knowing the age of the moon,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: the seasons of the year, and tides of the sea,
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: on which he spent sixteen years and two months, And
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: that justly at the time that his said preceptor died
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: of the French pox, which was in the year one thousand,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: four hundred twenty Afterwards he got an old coughing fellow
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: to teach him named Master Joblin Bride or muzzle Dolt,
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: who read unto him Hugutio habrard s criticism, the doctrinal,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: the parts, the quid est, the supplementum marmetritis, the mortibus
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: in mensuser vandis seneca de quachuo were tutibus cardinalibus, passavantus
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: come camento and dormy secure for the holidays, and some
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: other of such like mealy stuff. By reading whereof he
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: became as wise as any we ever since baked in
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: an Oven chapter one point fifteen dot. How Gargantuo was
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: put under other schoolmasters at the last his father perceived
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: that indeed he studied hard, and that although he spent
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: all his time in it, he did nevertheless profit nothing,
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: but which is worse, grew thereby foolish, simple, doted, and blockish. Whereof,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: making a heavy regret to Don Philip of Morees, Viceroy
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: or depute King of Papelagos, he found that it were
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: better for him to learn nothing at all than to
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: be taught such like books under such schoolmasters, because their
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: knowledge was nothing but brutishness and their wisdom, but blunt
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: foppish toys, serving only to bastardize good and noble spirits,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: and to corrupt all the flower of youth. That it
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: is so, take, said he, any young boy of this
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: time who hath only studied two years, if he have
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: not a better judgment, a better discourse, and that expressed
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: in better terms than your son, with a completer carriage
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: and civility to all manner of persons, account me forever
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: hereafter a very clounch and bacon slicer of breen. This
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: pleased Grangdeesier very well, and he commanded that it should
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: be done at night. At supper. The said Desmeares brought
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: in a young page of his of vil Gouges, called Yudaemon,
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: so neat, so trim, so handsome in his apparel, so
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: spruce with his hair, in so good order, and so
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: sweet and comely in his behavior, that he had the
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: resemblance of a little angel, more than of a human creature.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: Then he said to Grangdeissere, do you see this young boy,
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: he is not as yet full twelve years old. Let
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: us try, if it please you, what difference there is
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: betwixt the knowledge of the doting mediologians of old time,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: and the young lads that are now. The trial pleased
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: Great Angusier, and he commanded the page to begin. Then, Yeedemon,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: asking leave of the Vice King his master, so to do,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: with his cap in his hand, a clear and open countenance,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: beautiful and ruddy lips, his eyes steady, and his looks
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: fixed upon Gargantua, with a youthful modesty, standing up straight
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: on his feet, began very gracefully to commend him, first
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: for his virtue and good manners, secondly for his knowledge,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: thirdly for his nobility, fourthly for his bodily accomplishments. And
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: in the fifth place, most sweetly exhorted him to reverence
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: his father with all due observancy, who was so careful
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: to have him well brought up. In the end, he
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: prayed him that he would vouchsafe to admit of him
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: amongst the least of his servants for other favor. At
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: that time, desired he none of heaven, but that he
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: might do him some grateful and acceptable service. All this
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: was by him delivered with such proper gestures, such distinct pronunciation,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: so pleasant a delivery, in such exquisite fine term, and
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: so good Latin that he seemed rather a Grachus, a Cicero,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: an emilius of the time passed, than a youth of
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: this age. But all the countenance that Gargantua kept was
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: that he fell to crying like a cow, and cast
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: down his face, hiding it with his cap. Nor could
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: they possibly draw one word from him, no more than
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: a fart from a dead ass. Whereat his father was
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: so grievously vexed that he would have killed Master Joblin,
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: But the said Desmearees withheld him from it by fair persuasions,
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: so that at length he pacified his wrath. Then Grangousier
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: commanded he should be paid his wages, that they should
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: whittle him up soundly like a sophister with good drink,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: and then give him leave to go to all the
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: devils in hell. At least, said he to day, shall
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: it not cost his host much if, by chance he
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: should die as drunk as a switzer. Master Joblin being
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: gone out of the house, Grangosier consulted with the Viceroy
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: what schoolmaster they should choose for him, and it was
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: betwixt them resolved that Pona Crates, the tutor of Yudaemon
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: should have the charge, and that they should go altogether
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: to Paris to know what was the study of the
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: young men of France at that time. Chapter one point
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: sixteen dot. How Gargantua was sent to Paris, and of
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: the huge, great mare that he rode on, how she
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: destroyed the ox flies of the Bosi he went to

• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: In the same season Fails, the fourth King of Numidia
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: sent out of the country of Africa to grang. This
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: here the most hideously great mare that ever was seen,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: and of the strangest form. For you know well enough
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: how it is said that Africa always is productive of
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: some new thing. She was as big as six elephants,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: and had her feet cloven into fingers like Julius Caesar's horse,
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: with slouch hanging ears like the goats in Languedoc, and
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: a little horn on her buttock. She was of a
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: burnt sorrel hue, with a little mixture of dapple gray spots.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: But above all she had a horrible tail, for it
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: was little more or less than every whit, as great
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: as the steeple pillar of Saint Mark beside Langis, and
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: squared as that is, with tufts and anecroqs, or hair
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: plates wrought within one another. No otherwise than as the
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: beards are upon the ears of corn. If you wonder
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: at this, wonder rather at the tails of the Scythian rams,
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: which weighed above thirty pounds each, and of the Surian sheep,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: who need, if tennot, say true, a little cart at
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: their heels to bear up their tail. It is so
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: long and heavy. You female letchers in the plain countries
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: have no such tails. And she was brought by sea
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: in three carricks and a brigantine unto the harbor of
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: Olone in Thalmondois. When Grangesir saw her here is said he,
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: what is fit to carry my son to Paris? So now,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: in the name of God, all will be well. He will,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: in times coming be a great scholar. If it were
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: not my masters for the beasts, we should live like clerks.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: The next morning, after they had drunk, you must under stand,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: they took their journey Gargantua, his pedagogue Poncrates, and his train,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: and with them Yudaemon the young page. And because the
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: weather was fair and temperate, his father caused to be
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: made for him a pair of dun boots. Babin calls
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: them buskins. Thus did they merrily pass their time in
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: traveling on their highway, always making good cheer, and were
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: very pleasant till they came a little above Orleans, in
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: which place there was a forest of five and thirty
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: leagues long, and seventeen in breadth or thereabouts. This forest
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: was most horribly fertile and copious in door flies, hornets,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: and wasps, so that it was a very purgatory for
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: the poor mares, asses and horses. But Gargantua's mare did
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: avenge herself handsomely of all the outrages therein committed upon
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: beasts of her kind, and that by a trick, whereof
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: they had no suspicion, For as soon as ever they
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: were entered into the said forest, and that the wasps
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: had given the assault, she drew out and unsheathed her tail,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: and their with skirmishing did so sweep them that she
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: overthrew all the wood alongston a thwart, here and there,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: this way and that way, long wise, and sidewise, over
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: and under, and felt everywhere the wood with as much
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: ease as a mower doth the grass in such sort
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: that never since hath there been there neither would nor dwarflies,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: for all the country was thereby reduced to a plain
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: champagne field, which Gargantua took great pleasure to behold, and
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: said to his company, no more but this j e
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: truvey bo c e I find this pretty. Whereupon that
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: country hath been ever since that time called Bosi. But
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: all the breakfast the mayor got that day was but
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: a little yawning and gaping in memory, whereof the gentlemen
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: of Bosi do as yet to this day, break their
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: fast with gaping, which they find to be very good,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: and do spit the better for it. At last they
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: came to Paris, where Gargantua refreshed himself two or three days,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: making very merry with his folks, and inquiring what men
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: of learning there were then in the city, and what
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: wine they drunk there. Chapter one point seventeen do how
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: Gargantua paid his welcome to the Parisians, and how he
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: took away the great bells of our Lady's church, Gargantua
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: visiting the shops one seventeen dashed zero thirty eight. Some
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: few days after that they had refreshed themselves, he went
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: to see the city, and was beheld of everybody there
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: with great admiration. For the people of Paris are so sottish,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: so batted, so foolish and fond by nature, that a juggler,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: a carrier of indulgences, a sumpter horse or mule with
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: symbols or tinkling bells, a blind fiddler in the middle
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: of a cross lane shall draw a greater confluence of
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: people together than an evangelical preacher. And they pressed so
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: hard upon him that he was constrained to rest himself
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: upon the towers of our Lady's church, at which place,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Seeing so many about him, he said, with a loud voice,
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: I believe that these buzzards will have me to pay
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: them here my welcome hither and my proficiat It is
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: but good reason. I will now give them their wine,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: but it shall be only in sport. Then, smiling, he
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: untied his fair brigette, and drawing out his mantle into
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: the open air, he so bitterly all to be pissed
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: them that he drowned two hundred and sixty thousand, four
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen. Besides the women and little children, some
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: nevertheless of the company escaped This piss flood by mere
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: speed of foot, who when they were at the higher
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: end of the university, sweating, coughing, spitting, and out of breath,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: they began to swear and curse, some in good hot earnest,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: and others in jest. Karimari, karimara, gallinole, glinolo. By my
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: sweet Sanctus, we are washed in sport, a sport truly
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: to laugh at. In French Parris, for which that city
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: hath been ever since called Paris, whose name formerly was Lucotia,
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: as Strabo testifieth lib quardo, from the Greek word lookcoats whiteness,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: because of the white thighs of the ladies of that place,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: and forasmuch as at this imposition of a new name,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: all the people that were there swore everyone by the
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: sanks of his parish. The Parisians, which are patched up
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: of all nations and all pieces of countries, are by
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: nature both good jurors and good jurists, and somewhat overweening.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: Whereupon Joannimus de Barocco libro de copiocitate reverentiarum thinks that
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: they are called Parisians, from the Greek word Parisia, which
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: signifies boldness and liberty in speech. This done, he considered
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: the great bells which were in the said towers, and
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: made them sound very harmoniously, which, whilst he was doing it,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: came into his mind that they would serve very well
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: for tingling tantans and ringing camp panels to hang about
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: his mare's neck when she should be sent back to
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: his father, as he intended to do, loaded with bree
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: cheese and fresh herring. And indeed he forthwith carried them
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: to his lodging. In the meanwhile, there came a master
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: beggar of the friars of Saint Anthony, to demand an
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: canting weigh the usual benevolence of some hoggish stuff, who
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: that he might be heard afar off, and to make
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: the bacon he was in quest of shake in the
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: very chimneys, made account to filch them away privily. Nevertheless,
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: he left them behind very honestly, not for that they
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: were too hot, but that they were somewhat too heavy
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: for his carriage. This was not he of Bourg, for
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: he was too good a friend of mine. All the
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: city was risen up in sedition, they being, as you know,
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: upon any slight occasion, so ready to uproars and insurrections,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: that foreign nations wonder at the patience of the kings
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: of France, who do not, by good justice, restrain them
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: from such tumultuous courses. Seeing the manifold inconveniences which thence
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: arise from day to day, would to God I knew
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: the shop wherein are forge these divisions and factious combinations,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 1: that I might bring them to light in the confraternities
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: of my parish. Believe for a truth that the place
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: wherein the people gathered together were thus sulfured, hopuurmated, moiled
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: and bepissed, was called Nessel, where then was but now
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: is no more the oracle of Lucotia. There was the
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: case proposed, and the inconvenience showed of the transporting of
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 1: the bells. After they had well ergot pro and con
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 1: they concluded in Berylpton that they should send the oldest
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: and most sufficient of the faculty unto Gargantua to signify
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 1: unto him the great and horrible prejudice they sustained by
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: the want of those bells, and notwithstanding the good reasons
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: given in by some of the university, why this charge
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: was fitter for an orator than a sophister. There was
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: chosen for this purpose our master Genodus to Bragmardo Chapter
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: one point eighteen dot. How Genotics to Bragmardo was sent
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: to Gargantua to recover the great bells. Master Genodis, with
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: his hair cut round like a dish o la Caesarine,
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: in his most antique accouterment, liripipiated with a graduate's hood,
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: and having sufficiently antidote his stomach with oven marmalades, that is,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: bread and holy water of the cellar, transported himself to
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: the lodging of Gargantua, driving before him three red muzzled beetles,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: and dragging after him five or six artless masters, all
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: thoroughly bedaggled with the mire of the streets. At their entry,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: Poncrates met them, who was afraid seeing them so disguised,
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: and thought they had been some masters out of their wits,
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: which moved him to inquire of one of the said
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: artless masters of the company what this mummery meant. It
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: was answered him that they desired to have their bells
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: restored to them. As soon as Poncrates heard that, he
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: ran in all haste to carry the news unto Gargantua,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: that he might be ready to answer them and speedily
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: resolve what was to be done. Gargantua, being advertised hereof
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: called apart his schoolmaster, Poncrates, Philodomus, steward of his house, gymnasts,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: his esquire, and Yudaemon, and very summarily conferred with them
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: both of what he should do and what answer he
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: should give. They were all of opinion that they should
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: bring them unto the goblet office, which is the buttery,
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 1: and there make them drink like roysters, and line their
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: jackets soundly, and that this coffer might not be puffed
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: up with vainglory by thinking. The bells were restored at
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: his request, they sent whilst he was show panning and
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: plying the pot for the Mayor of the city, the
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: rector of the faculty, and the vicar of the church,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: unto whom they resolved to deliver the bells before the
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: Soffster had propounded his commission, after that in their hearing
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: he should pronounce his gallant oration, which was done, and
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: they being come, the Sofster was brought in full hall
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: and began as followeth in Coughing, Chapter one point nineteen dot.

• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: would have bought them, for the substantific quality of the

  Speaker 1: elementary complexion which is internificated in the terrestrita, of their
• 1:34:11

  Speaker 1: For if we lose the piet and liquor of the grape,

  Speaker 1: we lose all both sense and law. If you restore

  Speaker 1: wished those bells had been made of feathers and the
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: clapper of a foxtail. To the end they might have

• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: and Yeedaemon burst out in a laughing so heartily that
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: they had almost split with it and given up the
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: ghost in rendering their souls to God, even just as
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: Crasus did seeing a lubberly ass eat thistles, and as Philammon,
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: who foreseeing an ass eat those figs which were provided
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: for his own dinner, died with force of laughing. Together
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: with them, Master Janotis fell a laughing too, as fast
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: as he could, in which mood of laughing they continued
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: so long that their eyes did water by the vehement
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: concussion of the substance of the brain, by which these

  Speaker 1: When they had done laughing, Gargantua consulted with the prime

  Speaker 1: of his retinue what should be done. Their Ponocrates was

  Speaker 1: of opinion that they should make this fair order drink again, and,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: seeing he had showed them more pastime and made them
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: laugh more than a natural soul could have done, that
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: they should give him ten baskets full of sausages mentioned
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: in his pleasant speech, with a pair of hose, three
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: hundred great billets of logwood, five and twenty hogsheads of wine,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: a good large down bed, and a deep, capacious dish,
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: which he said were necessary for his old age. All
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 1: this was done as they did appoint only Gargantua, doubting
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: that they could not quickly find out breeches fit for
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: his wearing, because he knew not what fashion would best
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 1: become the said order, whether the Martingale fashion of breeches,
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: wherein is a spung hole with a drawbridge, for the
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: more easy caging, or the fashion of the mariners for
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: the greater solace and comfort of his kidneys, or that
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: of the Switzers, which keeps warm the ben Dane or
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: belly tabret, or round breeches with straight canyons, having in
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: the seat a piece like a cod's tail, for fear
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: of over heating his reins, all which considered he caused
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 1: to be given him seven els of white cloth for
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 1: the linings. The wood was carried by the porters. The
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: masters of arts carried the sausages and the dishes, and
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: Master Janotas himself would carry the cloth. One of the
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: said masters, called just Bandawheel, showed him that it was
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: not seemly nor decent for one of his condition to
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: do so, and that therefore he should deliver it to
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 1: one of them. Ha said ganotis boddet, boddet or blockhead, blockhead.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: Thou dost not conclude in moto e t figura for
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: low to this end serve the suppositions in parvologicalia ponus
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: pro quos upon it. Confuse, said Bandewheel, e t distributive.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: I do not ask thee, said janotis blockhead, comodos upon it,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: but pro quo it is blockhead pro tibious mice, and
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: therefore I will carry it egomet sickets oppositum portat depositum.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 1: So did he carry it away, very close and covertly
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: as paddle in the buffoon did his cloth. The best
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 1: was that when this coffer, in a full act or
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 1: assembly held at the Mathrins, had with great confidence required
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: his breeches and sausages, and that they were flatly denied
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: him because he had them of Gargantua. According to the
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 1: informations thereupon made, he showed them that this was gratis
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: and out of his liberality, by which they were not
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: in any sort quit of their promises. Notwithstanding this, it
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: was answered him that he should be content with reason,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: without expectation of any other bribe. There reason, said Genodis,
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: we use none of it here. Unlucky traitors, you are
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: not worth the hanging. The earth beareth not more errant
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: villains than you are. I know it well enough. Halt
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: not before the lame. I have practiced wickedness with you.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: By God's rattle, I will inform the King of the
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: enormous abuses that are forged here and carried under hand
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: by you, and let me be a leper if he
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: do not burn you alive like sodomites, traitors, heretics, and seducers,
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: enemies to God and virtue. Upon these words they framed
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: articles against him. He, on the other side, warned them
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 1: to appear in sum. The process was retained by the
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 1: court and is there as yet here Upon the magisters
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: made a vow never to decrot themselves in rubbing off
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: the dirt of either their shoes or clothes. Master Jenotics
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: with his adherents vowed never to blow or snuff their
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 1: noses until judgment were given by a definitive sentence. By
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 1: these vows do they continue unto this time both dirty
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: and snaddi, For the court hath not garbled, sifted, and
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: fully looked into all the pieces. As yet the judgment
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: or decree shall be given out and pronounced at the
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: next Greek callens, that is never, as you know that
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: they do more than nature, And contrary to their own articles,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: the articles of Paris maintain that to God alone belongs infinity,
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: and Nature prodesseth nothing that is immortal. For she putteth
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 1: an end and period to all things by her engendered
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: according to the saying Omnia orticadant. And see, but these
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 1: thick mistswallowers make the suits in law depending before them
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: both infinite and immortal. In doing whereof they have given
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: occasion to and verified the saying of Chilo, the Lacedaemonian,
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: consecrated to the oracle at Delphos, that misery is the
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 1: inseparable companion of law debates, and that pleaders are miserable,
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 1: for sooner shall they attain to the end of their
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: lives than to the final decision of their pretended rights.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 1: Chapter one dot ex exidot The study of Gargantua according
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: to the discipline of his schoolmasters the sophisters. The first
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: day being thus spent, and the bells put up again
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: in their own place, the citizens of Paris, in acknowledgment
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: of this courtesy, offered to maintain and feed his mare
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: as long as he pleased, which Gargantua took in good part,
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: and they sent her to grays in the forest of Beer.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 1: I think she is not there. Now this done, he
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: with all his heart submitted his study to the discretion
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: of Ponocrates, who for the beginning appointed that he should
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: do as he was accustomed. To the end he might
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: understand by what means, in so long time his old
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: masters had made him so sottish and ignorant. He disposed
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: therefore of his time in such fashion that ordinarily he
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: did awake betwixt eight and nine o'clock, whether it was
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: day or not. For so had his ancient governors ordained,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: alleging that which David seth vanam sd vobis anti lussum sergear.
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: Then did he tumble and toss, wag his legs, and
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: wallow in the bed some time, the better to stir
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 1: up and rouse his vital spirits, and apparel himself according
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: to the season. But willingly he would wear a great
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: long gown of thick frieze furred with fox skins. Afterwards,
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: he combed his head with an almain comb, which is
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: the four fingers and the thumb, for his preceptor said
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: that to comb himself otherwise to wash and make himself meat,
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: was to lose time in this world. Then he dunged, pissed, spewed, belched, cracked, yawned, spitted, coughed, yexed, sneezed,
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: and snoted himself like an archdeacon, And to suppress the
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: dew and bad air, went to breakfast, having some good
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: fried tripes, fair rashers on the coals, excellent gamons of bacon,
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: store of fine minced meat, and a great deal of
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: sip pet bruise made up of the fat of the
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: beef pot laid upon bread, cheese and chopped parsley, strewed together.
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: Ponacrates showed him that he ought not to eat so
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: soon after rising out of his bed unless he had
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: performed some exercise beforehand. Gargantua answered, what have not I
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: sufficiently well exercised myself. I have wallowed and rolled myself
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: six or seven turns in my bed before I rose?
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: Is not that enough? Pope Alexander did so by the
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: advice of a Jew, his physician, and lived till his
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: dying day in despite of his enemies. My first masters
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: have used me to it, saying that to breakfast made
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: a good memory, and therefore they drank first. I am
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: very well after it and dine. But the better and
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: master Tuble, who was the first licentiate at Paris, told
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: me that it was not enough to run apace, but
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: to set forth betimes. So doth not the total welfare
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: of our humanity depend upon perpetual drinking in a ribel
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 1: rabble like ducks, but on drinking early in the morning
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 1: unda versus to rise betimes? Is no good hour to
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: drink betmes is better. Sure. After that he had thoroughly
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: broke his fast, he went to church, and they carried
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: to him in a great basket, a huge and pantifold
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 1: with thick covered breviary, weighing what in Greece clasps parchment
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 1: and cover little more or less than eleven hundred six pounds.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: There he heard six and twenty or thirty masses. This
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: while to the same place came his orizon mutter and
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: powtocked or lapped up about the chin like a tufted whoop,
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 1: and his breath pretty well antidote. With store of the
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: vine tree syrup with him, he mumbled all his curios
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: and duncico barborians, which he so curiously thumbed and fingered,
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: that there fell not so much as one grain to
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 1: the ground. As he went from the church, they brought
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 1: him upon a dray drawn with oxen, a confused heap
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 1: of potter, noosters and avies of Saint Claude, every one
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: of them being of the bigness of a hat block.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: And thus, walking through the cloisters, galleries or garden, he
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: said more in turning them over than sixteen hermits would
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 1: have done. Then did he study some paltry half hour
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: with his eyes fixed upon his book. But as the
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: comic seth his mind was in the kitchen pissing. Then
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: a full urinal he sat down at table, and because
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: he was naturally phlegmatic, he began his meal with some
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: dozens of gammons, dried meats, tongues, hard rows of mullet,
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 1: called but targoes, and deweys or sausages, and such other
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: forerunners of wine. In the meanwhile, four of his folks
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: did cast into his mouth, one after another, continually mustard
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: by whole shovelfuls. Immediately after that he drank a horrible
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: draft of white wine for the ease of his kidneys.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: When that was done, he ate, according to the season,
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: meat agreeable to his appetite, and then left off eating
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: when his belly began to strout and was like to
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: crack for fullness. As for his drinking, he had in
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 1: that neither end nor rule, for he was wont to
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 1: say that the limits and bounds of drinking were when
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: the cork of the shoes of him that drank swelleth
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: up half a foot high Chapter one dot x x
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 1: I dot the Games of Gargantua. Then, blockishly, mumbling with
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 1: a set on countenance a piece of scurvy grace, he
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: washed his hands in fresh wine, picked his teeth with
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: the foot of a hog, and talked jovially with his
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: attendants then the carpet being spread, they brought plenty of cards,
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: many dice, with great store and abundance of checkers and chessboards.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: There he played at flush at love, at Primero, at
• 1:49:33

• 1:57:09
  Speaker 1: and spent his time, it was thought fit to drink
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: a little, and that was eleven glassfuls. The man and
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: immediately after making good cheer again, he would stretch himself
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: upon a fair bench or a good large bed, and
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: their sleep two or three hours together, without thinking or
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: speaking any hurt. After he was awakened, he would shake
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: his ears a little. In the meantime they brought him
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: fresh wine. There he drank better than ever. Ponacrates showed
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: him that it was an ill diet to drink so
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: after sleeping, it is answered Gargantua, the very life of
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 1: the patriarchs and holy fathers, for naturally I sleep salt,
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: and my sleep hath been to me instead of so
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 1: many gamons of bacon. Then began he to study a little,
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: and out came the pot noosters or rosary of beads,
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: which the better and more formally to despatch. He got
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: upon an old munseule which had served nine kings, and so,
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 1: mumbling with his mouth nodding and dawdling his head, would
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 1: go see a coney ferreted were caught in a gin.
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: At his return, he went into the kitchen to know
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: what roast meat was on the spit, and what otherwise
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 1: was to be dressed for supper, And supped very well
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: upon my conscience and commonly did invite some of his
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: neighbors that were good drinkers, with whom, carousing and drinking merrily,
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 1: they told stories of all sorts, from the old to
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: the new. Amongst others he had for domestics, the lords
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: of Foe, of Gourville, of Griniad, and of Marigny. After
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: supper were brought in upon the place the fair wooden
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: Gospels and the books of the Four Kings, that is
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: to say, many pairs of tables and cards, or the
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: fair flush one two three, or at all to make
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: short work, or else they went to see the wenches thereabouts,
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 1: with little small banquets intermixed with collations and rear suppers.
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: Then did he sleep without unbridling until eight o'clock in
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: the next morning. Chapter one dot exeid dot. How Gargantua
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: was instructed by Ponocrates, and in such sort disciplinated that
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 1: he lost not one hour of the day. He did
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: swim in deep waters one dash twenty three dash zero
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: forty eight. When Ponocrates knew Gargantua's vicious manner of living,
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 1: he resolved to bring him up in another kind. But
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: for a while he bore with him, considering that nature
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: cannot endure a sudden change without great violence. Therefore, to
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: begin his work the better, he requested a learned physician
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: of that time, called Master Theodorus, seriously to propend, if
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: it were possible, how to bring Gargantua into a better course.
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: The said physician purged him canonically with anti Syrian helibor,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: by which medicine he cleansed all the alteration in perverse
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: habitude of his brain. By this means, also, Ponocrates made
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: him forget all that he had learned under his ancient preceptors,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: as Timotheus did to his disciples, who had been instructed
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 1: under other musicians to do this. The better. They brought
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: him into the company of learned men, which were there,
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: in whose imitation he had a great desire and affection
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: to study otherwise and to improve his parts. Afterwards, he
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: put himself into such a road and way of studying
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 1: that he lost not any one hour in the day,
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: but employed all his time in learning and honest knowledge.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: Gargantua awaked then about four o'clock in the morning. Whilst
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: they were in rubbing of him, there was read unto
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: him some chapter of the Holy Scripture allowed, and clearly
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 1: with a pronunciation fit for the matter, and Hi Unto
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: was appointed a young page born in Bache named Anagnosts.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: According to the purpose and argument of that lesson, he
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: oftentimes gave himself to worship, adore, pray, and send up
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: his supplications to that good God whose word did show
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 1: his majesty and marvelous judgment. Then went he unto the
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: secret places to make excretion of his natural digestions. There
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 1: and his master repeated what had been read, expounding unto
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: him the most obscure and difficult points. In returning, they
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: considered the face of the sky, if it was such
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: as they had observed at the night before, and into
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 1: what signs the sun was entering, as also the moon
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 1: for that day. This done, he was appareled, combed, curled, trimmed,
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: and perfumed, during which time they repeated to him the
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: lessons of the day before. He himself said them by heart,
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: and upon them would ground some practical cases concerning the
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: estate of man, which he would prosecute, sometimes two or
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 1: three hours, but ordinarily they ceased as soon as he
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: was fully clothed. Then for three good hours he had
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: a lecture read unto him. This done, they went forth,
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: still conferring of the substance of the lecture, either unto
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: a field near the university called the brack, or unto
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: the meadows, where they played at the ball the long tennis,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: and at the pilectrigone, which is a play wherein we
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: throw a triangular piece of iron at a ring to
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: pass most gallantly, exercising their bodies as formerly they had
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: done their minds. All their play was but in liberty,
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: for they left off when they pleased, and that was
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: commonly when they did sweat over all their body or
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: were otherwise weary. Then were they very well wiped and rubbed,
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: shifted their shirts, and walking soberly, went to see if
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: dinner was ready. Whilst they stayed for that, they did
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: clearly and eloquently pronounce some sentences that they had retained
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: of the lecture. In the meantime, master appetite came, and
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: then very orderly sat they down at table. At the
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: beginning of the meal, there was read some pleasant history
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 1: of the warlike actions of former times, until he had
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: taken a glass of wine. Then, if they thought good,
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: they continued reading or began to discourse merrily, together, speaking
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: first of the virtue, propriety, efficacy, and nature of all
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: that was served in at the table, of bread, of wine,
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: of water, of salt, of fleshes, fishes, fruits, herbs, roots,
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 1: and of their dressing by means whereof he learned in
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 1: a little time all the passages competent for this that
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 1: were to be found in Pliny, Athenaeus, Dioscorides, Julius, Pollax, Galen, Porphyry, Oppian, Polybius, Heliodor, Aristotle,
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: Alien and others. Whilst they talked of these things many times,
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: to be the more certain, they caused the very books
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: to be brought to the table, And so well and
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: perfectly did he, in his memory retain the things above,
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: said that in that time there was not a physician
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: that knew half so much as he did. Afterwards they
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: conferred of the lessons read in the morning, and ending
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 1: their repast with some conserve or marmalade of quinces. He
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: picked his teeth with mastic tooth pickers, washed his hands
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: and eyes with fair fresh water, and gave thanks unto
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 1: God in some fine cantiques made in praise of the
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 1: divine bounty munificence. This done, they brought in cards not
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 1: to play, but to learn a thousand pretty tricks and
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: new inventions, which were all grounded upon arithmetic. By this
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: means he fell in love with that numerical science, and
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: every day, after dinner and supper he passed his time
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: in it as pleasantly as he was wont to do
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 1: at cards and dice, so that at last he understood
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: so well both the theory and practical part thereof that tunstall.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: The Englishmen, who had written very largely of that purpose,
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: confessed that verily, in comparison of him, he had no
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: skill at all, and not only in that, but in
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: the other mathematical sciences, as geometry, astronomy, music, and sea.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: For in waiting on the concoction and attending the digestion
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: of his food, they made a thousand pretty instruments and
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 1: geometrical figures, and did in some measure practice the astronomical canons.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: After this they recreated themselves with singing musically in four
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: or five parts, or upon a set theme or ground
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: at random, as it best pleased them. In matter of
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: musical instruments, he learned to play upon the lute, the virginals,
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: the harp, the almain flute, with nine holes, the vial
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 1: and the Sackbut this hour thus spent, and digestion finished,
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: he did purge his body of natural excrements. Then betook
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 1: himself to his principal study for three hours together or more,
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 1: as well to repeat his matudinal lectures, as to proceed
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: in the book wherein he was, as also to write handsomely,
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: to draw and form the Antique and Roman letters. This
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: being done, they went out of their house, and with
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 1: them a young gentleman of Turennes, named the Esquire Gymnast,
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: who taught him the art of writing. Changing then his clothes,
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 1: he wrote a Naples courser, a Dutch roussanne, a Spanish genet,
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: a barred or trapped steed. Then a light fleet horse,
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 1: unto whom he gave a hundred carriers. Made him go
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 1: the high salts, bounding in the air, free the ditch,
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: with a skip, leap over a style or pale, turned
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 1: short in a ring, both to the right and left hand.
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 1: There he broke not his lance, for it is the
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 1: greatest foolery in the world to say I have broken
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: ten lances at tilts or in fight. A carpenter can
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: do even as much. But it is a glorious and
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 1: praiseworthy action with one lance to break and overthrow ten enemies. Therefore,
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: with a sharp, stiff, strong and well stealed lance would
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: he usually force up a door, pierce a harness, beat
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 1: down a tree, carry away the ring, lift up a
• 2:06:25
  Speaker 1: quiroscere's saddle with the mail coat and gauntlet. All this
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: he did in complete arms, from head to foot. As
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 1: for the prancing flourishes and smacking popisms for the better
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 1: cherishing of the horse commonly used in riding, none did
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 1: them better than he. The Cavalrize of Ferrara was but
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: as an ape. Compared to him, he was singularly skillful
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: in leaping nimbly from one horse to another without putting
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 1: foot to ground, And these horses were called desultories. He could, likewise,
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 1: from either side, with a lance in his hand, leap
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 1: on horseback without stirrups, and ruled the horse at his
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 1: pleasure without a bridle, for such things are useful in
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 1: military engagements. Another day he exercised the battle axe, which
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 1: he so dexterously wielded, both in the nimble, strong and
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: smooth management of that weapon, and that in all the
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 1: feats practicable by it that he passed night of arms
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: in the field, and at all essays. Then tossed he
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 1: the pike, played with the two handed sword, with the
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 1: back sword, with the Spanish tuck, the dagger, poniard, armed unarmed,
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 1: with a buckler, with a cloak with a target. Then
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 1: would he hunt the heart, the roebuck, the bear, the
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: fallow deer, the wild boar, the hare, the pheasant, the partridge,
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: and the bustard. He played at the balloon and made
• 2:07:44
  Speaker 1: it bound in the air, both with fist and foot.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 1: He wrestled, ran jumped, not at three steps in a
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: leap called the hops, nor at clochepied called the hare's leap,
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 1: nor yet at the almains. For said gymnast, these jumps
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 1: are for the wars altogether improfitable and of no use.
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: But at one leap he would skip over a ditch,
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: spring over a hedge, mount six paces upon a wall ramp,
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: and grapple, after this fashion up against a window of
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: the full height of a lance. He did swim in
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: deep waters on his belly, on his back, sideways with
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 1: all his body, with his feet only with one hand
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: in the air, wherein he held a book, crossing Thus
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 1: the breadth of the river of Sane without wetting it,
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 1: and dragged along his cloak with his teeth, as did
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 1: Julius Caesar. Then with the help of one hand, he
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 1: entered forcibly into a boat, from whence he cast himself
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 1: again headlong into the water, sounded the depths, hollowed the rocks,
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: and plunged into the pits and gulfs. Then turned he
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 1: the boat about, governed it, led it swiftly or slowly
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: with the stream, and against the stream, stopped it in
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: his course, guided it with one hand, and with the
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: other laid hard about him with a huge grate, or
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: hoisted the sail hide up along the mats by the shrouds,
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 1: ran upon the edge of the decks, set the compass
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 1: in order, tackled the bowlins, and steered the helm. Coming
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 1: out of the water, he ran furiously up against a hill,
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 1: and with the same alacrity and swiftness, ran down again.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: He climbed up at trees like a cat, and leaped
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: from the one to the other like a squirrel. He
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: did pull down the great boughs and branches like another milo.
• 2:09:25
  Speaker 1: Then with two sharp, well steeled daggers, and two tried bodkins.
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: Would he run up by the wall to the very
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 1: top of a house like a rat, then suddenly came
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: down from the top to the bottom, with such an
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: even composition of members, that by the fall he would
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 1: catch no harm. He did cast the dart, throw the bar,
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 1: put the stone, practice the javelin, the boar, spear or partisan,
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 1: and the halberd. He broke the strongest bows in drawing,
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: bended against his breast, the greatest crossbows of steel, took
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: his aim by the eye with the handgun, and shot well,
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 1: traversed and planted the cannon shot it but marks at
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: the pap gay from below upwards, or to a height,
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: from above downwards, or to a descent. Then before him,
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: sideways and behind him. Like the Parthians, they tied a
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: cable rope to the top of a high tower by
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: one end, whereof hanging near the ground, he wrought himself
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 1: with his hands to the very top. Then upon the
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 1: same track came down so sturdily and firm that you
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: could not on a plain meadow have run with more assurance.
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 1: They set up a great pole fixed upon two trees.
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 1: There would he hang by his hands, and with them
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 1: alone his feet touching at nothing, would go back, and
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 1: fore along the foresaid rope, with so great swiftness that
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: hardly could one overtake him with running. And then to
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 1: exercise his breast and lungs, he would shout like all
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: the devils in hell. I heard him once call ye
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 1: demon from Saint Victor's gate to Monmatra. Stentor had never
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 1: such a voice. At the siege of Troy. Then, for
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: the strengthening of his nerves or sinews, they made him
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: too great eight sows of lead, each of them weighing
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: eight thousand and seven hundred quintals, which they called altars.
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 1: Those he took up from the ground in each hand.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: One then lifted them up over his head and held
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 1: them so without stirring three quarters of an hour and more,
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 1: which was an inimitable force. He fought at barriers with
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: the stoutest and most vigorous champions, and when it came
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: to the cope, he stood so sturdily on his feet
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 1: that he abandoned himself unto the strongest, in case they
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 1: could remove him from his place, as Milo was wont
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: to do, of Old in whose imitation. Likewise, he held
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 1: a pomegranate in his hand to give it unto him
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 1: that could take it from him. The time being thus bestowed,
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 1: and himself rubbed, cleansed, wiped, and refreshed with other clothes,
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 1: he returned fair and softly, and, passing through certain meadows
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: or other grassy places, beheld the trees and plants, comparing
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: them with what is written of them in the books
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: of the ancients, such as Theophrast, Dioscorides, Marinus, Pliny, Nicknder,
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 1: Macer and Galen, and carried home to the house great
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 1: handfuls of them, whereof a young page called Rysatomo's had charge,
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 1: together with little mattocks, pickaxes, grubbing hooks, cabbies, pruning knives,
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 1: and other instruments requisite for herberizing. Being come to their lodging.
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 1: Whilst supper was making ready, they repeated certain passages of
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: that which have been read, and sat down to table.
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: Here remarked that his dinner was sober and thrifty, for
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: he did then eat only to prevent the gnawings of
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 1: his stomach. But his supper was copious and large, for
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 1: he took then as much as was fit to maintain
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: and nourish him, which indeed is the true diet prescribed
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 1: by the art of good and sound physic, although a
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: rabble of loggerhead physicians nuzzled in the brabbling shop of
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 1: sophisters counseled the contrary. During that repast was continued the
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 1: lesson read at dinner as long as they thought good.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: The rest was spent in good discourse, learned and profitable.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: After that they had given thanks, he set himself to
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: sing vocally and play upon harmonious instruments, or otherwise passed
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 1: his time at some pretty sports made with cards for dice,
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: or in practicing the feats of leger Demain with cups
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 1: and balls. There they stayed some nights in frolicking thus
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 1: and making themselves merry, till it was time to go
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 1: to bed, And on other nights they would go make
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: visits unto learned men, or to such as had been
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: travelers in strange and remote countries. When it was full night,
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 1: before they retired themselves, they went unto the most open
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: place of the house to see the face of the sky,
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 1: and there beheld the comets, if any were. As likewise
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: the figures, situations, aspects, oppositions, and conjunctions of both the
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 1: fixed stars and planets. Then with his master did he
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 1: briefly recapitulate, after the manner of the Pythagoreans, that which
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: he had read, seen, learned, done, and understood in the
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 1: whole course of that day. Then prayed they unto God
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 1: the Creator, in falling down before him and strengthening their
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 1: faith towards him, and glorifying him for his boundless bounty,
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: and giving thanks unto him for the time that was past.
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 1: They recommended themselves to his divine clemency for the future,
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 1: which being done, they went to bed and betook themselves
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 1: to their repose and rest. Chapter one dot zivdat how
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 1: Gargantua spent his time in rainy weather. If it happened
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 1: that the weather were anything cloudy, foul, and rainy, all
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: the forenoon was employed as before specified according to custom,
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 1: with this difference only that they had a good clear
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 1: fire lighted to correct the distempers of the air. But
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 1: after dinner, instead of their wonted exercitations, they did abide
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 1: within and by way of apitherapy, that is, on making
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 1: the body helpful by exercise, did recreate themselves in bottling
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: up of hay, in cleaving and sawing of wood, and
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 1: in threshing sheaves of corn at the barn. Then they
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 1: studied the art of painting or carving, or brought to
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 1: use the antique play of tables, as Leonicus hath written
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: of it, and as our good friend Lascaris playeth at it.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: In playing, they examined the passages of ancient authors wherein
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: the said play is mentioned, or any metaphor drawn from it.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: They went likewise to see the drawing of medals or
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: the casting of great ordnance. How the lapidaries did work,
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 1: as also the goldsmiths and cutters of precious stones. Nor
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 1: did they omit to visit the alchemists, money coiners, upholsterers, weavers,
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 1: velvet workers, watchmakers, looking glass framers, printers, organists, and other
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 1: such kind of artificers, And everywhere, giving them somewhat to drink,
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: did learn and consider the industry in invention of the trades.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: They went also to hear the public lectures, the solemn commencements,
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 1: the repetitions, the acclamations, the pleadings of the gentle lawyers,
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 1: and sermons of evangelical preachers. He went through the halls
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 1: and places appointed for fencing, and their played against the
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 1: masters themselves at all weapons, and showed them by experience
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: that he knew as much in it as yea more
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 1: than they. And instead of herbalizing, they visited the shops
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: of druggists, herbalists and apothecaries, and diligently considered the fruits, roots, leaves, gums, seeds,
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 1: the grease and ointments of some foreign parts, as also
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 1: how they did adulterate them. He went to see the jugglers, tumblers, mountebanks,
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: and quaxlvers, and considered their cunning, their shifts, their somersaults,
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: and smooth tongue, especially of those of Chawny in Picardy,
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: who are naturally great prayterers and brave givers of FIBs
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: in matter of green apes. At their return they did
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 1: eat more soberly at supperate than at other times, and
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: meets more desiccative and extenuating, to the end that the
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 1: intemperate moisture of the air, communicated to the body by
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 1: a necessary confinitive, might by this means be corrected, and
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 1: that they might not receive any prejudice for want of
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 1: their ordinary bodily exercise. Thus was Gargantua governed and kept
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 1: on in this course of education from day to day, profiting,
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: as you may understand, such a young man of his
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 1: age may of a pregnant judgment. With good discipline, well continued, which,
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 1: although at the beginning it seemed difficult, became a little
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 1: after so sweet, so easy, and so delightful, that it
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 1: seemed rather the recreation of a king than the study
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 1: of a scholar. Nevertheless, Poncrates, to divert him from this
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 1: vehement intention of the spirits, thought fit once in a month,
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 1: upon some fair and clear day, to go out of
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 1: the city betimes in the morning, either towards Gently or Boulogne,
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 1: or to Montrouge, or charranton Bridge, or to Vans or
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: Saint Clew, and there spend all the day long in
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 1: making the greatest cheer that could be devised, sporting, making merry, drinking,
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: healths playing, singing, dancing, tumbling in some fair meadow, unnestling
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 1: of sparrows, taking of quails, and fishing for frogs and crabs.
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 1: But although that day was passed without books or lecture,
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 1: yet was it not spent without profit. For in the
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: said meadows they usually repeated certain pleasant verses of Virgil's
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 1: agriculture of Hesiod and of Polisian's husbandry, would set a
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 1: broach some witty Latin epigrams, then immediately turned them into
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: roundelays and songs for dancing in the French language. In
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: their feasting, they would sometimes separate the water from the
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 1: wine that was therewith mixed as Cato Teacheth to re
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 1: Rustica and Pliny, with an ivy cup, would wash the
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 1: wine in a basin full of water, then take it
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 1: out again with a funnel as pure as ever. They
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 1: made the water go from one glass to another, and
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 1: contrived a thousand little automatory engines, that is to say,
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: moving of themselves. Chapter one dot x x v dot.
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 1: How there was great strife and debate raised betwixt the
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: cake bakers of Learn and those of gargantuous country, whereupon
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: were waged great wars at that time, which was the
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: season of vintage, in the beginning of harvest, when the
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 1: country shepherds were set to keep the vines and hinder
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: the starlings from eating up the grapes. As some cake
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 1: bakers of Learn happened to pass along in the broad
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 1: highway driving into the city ten or twelve horses loaded
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 1: with cakes, the said shepherds courteously entreated them to give
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 1: them some for their money, as the price then ruled
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 1: in the market. For here it is to be remarked
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 1: that it is a celestial food to eat for breakfast,
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 1: hot fresh cakes with grapes, especially the frail clusters, the
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 1: great red grapes, the muscadine, the verjuice grape, and the
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 1: lascart for those that are costed in their belly, because
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 1: it will make them gush out and squirt the length
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 1: of a hunter's staff like the very tap of a barrel,
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 1: and oftentimes thinking to let a squib, they did all
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: to besquatter and conskite themselves, whereupon they are commonly called
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 1: the vintage thinkers. The bun sellers, or cake makers were
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 1: in nothing inclinable to their request, but which was worse,
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 1: did injure them most outrageously, calling them prattling gabblers, liquorice gluttons,
• 2:20:02
  Speaker 1: freckled bitters, mangy rascals, shiabed scoundrels, drunken roysters, sly knaves,
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 1: drowsy loiters, slap sauce fellows, slabberdigolian drug gels, lubberly louts,
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 1: cousining foxes, ruffian rogues, poultry customers, siicophin varlets, drawlatch, hoydens,
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 1: flouting milksops, jeering companions, staring clowns, forlorn snakes, ninny lobcocks,
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 1: scurvy sneakspies, fondling fops, bass loons, saucy cockscombs, idole lusks,
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 1: scoffing braggerts, nootdy me cocks, blockish grutnols, dotapaul jolt heads, jabernol,
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 1: goose caps, foolish loggerheads, flutch calf lollies, grout head gnat snappers,
• 2:20:45
  Speaker 1: lob dotterrels, gaping changelings, codshd loubies, woodcock slangams, nini, hammer, flycatchers,
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 1: knotty peak simpletons, turdy gut shitten shepherds, and other suchlike
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 1: defammatory epithets, saying further that it was not for them
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: to eat of these dainty cakes, but might very well
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 1: content themselves with the coarse, unranged bread, or to eat
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 1: of the great brown household loaf, to which, provoking words,
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 1: one amongst them called forgier, an honest fellow of his
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 1: person in a notable springow made answer very calmly. Thus,
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 1: how long is it since you have got horns that
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 1: you are become so proud. Indeed, formerly you were wont
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 1: to give us some freely, And will you not now
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 1: let us have any for our money? This is not
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 1: the part of good neighbors. Neither do we serve you
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 1: thus when you come hither to buy our good corn,
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: whereof you make your cakes and buns. Besides that, we
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 1: would have given you to the bargain sum of our grapes.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 1: But by his sounds you may chance to repent it,
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 1: and possibly have need of us at another time, when
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 1: we shall use you after the like manner. And therefore
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 1: remember it. Then marquis a prime man in the confraternity
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 1: of the cake baker's said unto him, yea, sir, thou
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 1: art pretty well crest risen this morning. Thou didst eat
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 1: yesternight too much? Millet and Baalamont, come hither, Syra, come hither,
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 1: I will give thee some cakes. Whereupon forgier dreading no
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 1: harm in all simplicity, went towards him and drew a
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 1: sixpence out of his leather satchel, thinking that Marquet would
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 1: have sold him some of his cakes. But instead of cakes,
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 1: he gave him with his whip such a rude lash
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 1: overthwart the legs that the marks of the whipcord knots
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 1: were apparent in them, than would have fled away. But
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: Forgier cried out as loud as he could, oh, murder, murder, Help, Help, Help,
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 1: and in the meantime threw a great cudgel after him,
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 1: which he carried under his arm, wherewith he hit him
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 1: in the coronal joint of his head upon the crotaphic
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 1: artery of the right side thereof, so forcibly that Marquet
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 1: fell down from his mare, more like a dead than
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 1: living man. Meanwhile, the farmers and country swains that were
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 1: watching their walnuts near to that place came running with
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 1: their great poles and long staves, and laid such load
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 1: on these case bakers as if they had been to
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 1: thresh upon green rye. The other shepherds and shepherdesses, hearing
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: the lamentable shout of Forgier, came with their slings and slackeys,
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 1: following them and throwing great stones at them, as thick
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 1: as if it had been hail. At Last, they overtook
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 1: them and took from them about four or five dozen
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 1: of their cakes. Nevertheless, they paid for them the ordinary price,
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 1: and gave them over and above one hundred eggs and
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 1: three baskets full of muwberries. Then did the cake bakers
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 1: helped to get up to his mayor Marquis, who was
• 2:23:33
  Speaker 1: most shrewdly wounded, and forthwith return to Learn, changing the resolution,
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: they had to go to peril, threatening very sharp and
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 1: boisterously the cowherds, shepherds and farmers of Seville and Sinnas
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: this done, the shepherds and shepherdesses made merry with these
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 1: cakes and fine grapes, and sported themselves together at the
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 1: sound of the pretty small pipe, scoffing and laughing at
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 1: those vainglorious cake bakers, who had that day met with
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 1: a mischief for want of crossing them with a good
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: hand in the morning. Nor did they forget to apply
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 1: to Forgier's leg some fair great red medicinal grapes, and
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 1: so handsomely dressed it and bounded up that he was
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 1: quickly cured. Chapter one dot x x v I doot
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 1: how the inhabitants of Learn, by the commandment of Picrickole,
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 1: their king, assaulted the shepherds of Gargantua unexpectedly and on
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 1: a sudden the cake bakers, being returned to learn, went
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 1: presently before they did either eat or drink, to the capital,
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 1: and there before their king, called Picrickoal the third of
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 1: that name, made their complaint, showing their panniers broken, their
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: caps all crumpled, their coats torn, their cakes taken away,
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 1: but above all Marquet most enormously wounded, saying that all
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 1: that mischief was done by the shepherds and herdsmen of
• 2:24:47
  Speaker 1: Grangusir near the broad highway beyond Seville. Picrickoal in continent
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 1: grew angry and furious, and without asking any further, WoT
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 1: how why or wherefore, commanded the be and arire band
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 1: to be sounded throughout all his country, that all his vassals,
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 1: of what conditions, whoever should, upon pain of the halter,
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 1: come in the best arms they could unto the great
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 1: place before the castle at the hour of noon, and
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 1: the better to strengthen his design, he caused the drum
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 1: to be beat about the town. Himself, whilst his dinner
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 1: was making ready, went to see his artillery mounted upon
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 1: the carriage, to display his colors and set up the
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 1: great Royal standard and loaded wains with store of ammunition,
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 1: both for the field and the belly, arms and victuals.
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 1: At dinner he despatched his commissions, and by his express edict,
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 1: my Lord Shagrag was appointed to command the vanguard, wherein
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 1: were numbered sixteen thousand, fourteen arquebaceers or firelocks, together with
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 1: thirty thousand and eleven volunteer adventurers. The Great Tucadillon, Master
• 2:25:53
  Speaker 1: of the Horse, had the charge of the ordnance, wherein
• 2:25:56
  Speaker 1: were reckoned nine hundred fourteen brazen pieces in cannons, double cannons, basilisks, serpentines, culverins,
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 1: bombards or murderers, falcons, bases or pisevelans, spirals, and other
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 1: sorts of great guns. The rear guard was committed to
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 1: the Duke of scrape Good. In the main battle was
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 1: the King and the princes of his kingdom. Thus being
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: hastily furnished. Before they would set forward, they sent three
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 1: hundred light horsemen under the conduct of Captain Swilwund, to
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 1: discover the country, clear the avenues and see whether there
• 2:26:30
  Speaker 1: was any ambush laid for them. But after they had
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 1: made diligent search, they found all the land round about
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 1: in peace and quiet, without any meeting or convention at all,
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 1: which Piccrickal understanding commanded that everyone should march speedily under
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 1: his colors. Then immediately, in all disorder, without keeping either
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 1: rank or file, they took the fields, one amongst another, wasting, spoiling, destroying,
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 1: and making havoc of all wherever they went, not sparing
• 2:26:59
  Speaker 1: poor nor rich, privileged or unprivileged places, church nor laity.
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 1: Drove away oxen and cows, bulls, calves, heifers, weathers, ewes, lambs, goats, kids, hens, capons, chickens, geese, ganders, gozzlings, hogs, swine, pigs,
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 1: and such like, beating down the walnuts, plucking the grapes,
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 1: tearing the hedges, shaking the fruit trees, and committing such
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 1: incomparable abuses that the like abomination was never heard of. Nevertheless,
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 1: they met with none to resist them, for every one
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 1: submitted to their mercy, beseeching them that they might be
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 1: dealt with courteously, in regard that they had always carried
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 1: themselves as became good and loving neighbors, and that they
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 1: had never been guilty of any wrong or outrage done
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 1: upon them. To be thus suddenly surprised, troubled, and disquieted,
• 2:27:51
  Speaker 1: and that if they would not desist, God would punish
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 1: them very shortly, to which expostulations and remonstrances, no other
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 1: answer was made, but that they would teach them to
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 1: eat cakes. Chapter one dot x x VIII dot How
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 1: a monk of Seville saved the clothes of the abbey
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 1: from being ransacked by the enemy. The monks knew not
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 1: one dash twenty seven dashed zero sixty. So much they did,
• 2:28:16
  Speaker 1: and so far they went, pillaging and stealing, that at
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 1: last they came to Seville, where they robbed both men
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 1: and women, and took all they could catch. Nothing was
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 1: either too hot or too heavy for them. Although the
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 1: plague was there in the most part of all the houses,
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 1: they nevertheless entered everywhere, then plundered and carried away all
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 1: that was within. And yet for all this not one
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 1: of them took any hurt, which is a most wonderful
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 1: case for the curates, vicars, preachers, physicians, perurgeons, and apothecaries,
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 1: who went to visit, to dress, to cure, to heal,
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 1: to preach, unto and admonish those that were sick, were
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 1: all dead of the infection, and these devilish robbers and
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 1: murderers caught never any harm at all. Whence comes the
• 2:29:00
  Speaker 1: to pass, my masters, I beseech you think upon it.
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 1: The town being thus pillaged, they went unto the abbey
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 1: with a horrible noise and tumult. But they found it
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 1: shut and made fast against them. Whereupon the body of
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 1: the army marched forward towards a pass or ford called
• 2:29:17
  Speaker 1: the gusd de Vide, except seven companies of foot and
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 1: two hundred lancers, who staying there, broke down the walls
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 1: of the clothes to waste spoil and make havoc of
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 1: all the vines and vintage within that place. The monks,
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 1: poor devils, knew not in that extremity to which of
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 1: all their sanks they should vow themselves. Nevertheless, at all adventures,
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 1: they rang the bells at Capitulum capitulants. There it was
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 1: decreed that they should make a fair procession, stuffed with
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 1: good lectures, prayers and litany's contra hostium, insidious and jolly
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 1: responses pro pace. There was then in the abbey a
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 1: clostral monk called Friar John of the funnels and Gobbets
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 1: in French, to entomurs, young, gallant, frisk, lusty, nimble, quick, active, bold, adventurous, resolute, tall, lean,
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: wide mouthed, long nosed, a fair, despatcher of morning prayers,
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 1: unbridler of masses, and runner over of vigils. And to conclude, summarily,
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 1: in a word, a right monk, if ever there was
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 1: any since the monkeying world monkeyed a monkeiary for the rest,
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 1: a clerk, even to the teeth in matter of breviary.
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 1: This monk, hearing the noise that the enemy made within
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 1: the enclosure of the vineyard, went out to see what
• 2:30:34
  Speaker 1: they were doing, and, perceiving that they were cutting and
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 1: gathering the grapes whereon was grounded the foundation of all
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 1: their next year's wine, returned unto the choir of the church,
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 1: where the other monks were all amazed and astonished, like
• 2:30:47
  Speaker 1: so many bell melters whom when he heard sing m
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 1: nim p e any any any any neane tom any
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 1: number number AINI imy co oh no oh oh ne
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 1: no any no no no rum n'num number. It is
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 1: well shit well sum said he. By the virtue of God,
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 1: why do not you sing, paniers, farewell? Vintage is done.
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 1: The devil snatch me if they be not already within
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 1: the middle of our clothes, and cut so well both
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 1: vines and grapes, that by God's body there will not
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 1: be found for these four years to come so much
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 1: as a gleaning in it by the belly of Saint James.
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 1: What shall we poor devils drink the while, Lord God
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: demihi Potum, Then said the prior of the convent, What
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 1: should this drunken fellow do here? Let him be carried
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 1: to prison for troubling the divine service. Nay, said the
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 1: monk the wine service. Let us behave ourselves so that
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 1: it be not troubled. For you, yourself, my Lord Prior,
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 1: love to drink of the best, And so doth every
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 1: honest man. Never yet did a man of worth dislike
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 1: good wine. It is a monastical apithem. But these responses
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 1: that you chant here by g are not in season.
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 1: Wherefore is it that our devotions were instituted to be
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 1: short in the time of harvest and vintage, and long
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 1: in the advent and all the winter. The late friar
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 1: Massopolas of good memory a true zealous man, or else
• 2:32:24
  Speaker 1: I give myself to the devil of our religion told me,
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 1: and I remember it well how the reason was that
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 1: in this season we might press and make the wine,
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 1: and in winter with it up. Hark you, my masters,
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 1: you that love the wine Copp's body, follow me, for
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 1: Saint Anthony burn me as freely as a faggot if
• 2:32:43
  Speaker 1: they get leave to taste one drop of the liquor.
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 1: That will not now come and fight for relief of
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 1: the vine Hogg's belly. The goods of the church. Ha no, no,
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 1: what the devil Saint Thomas of England was well content
• 2:32:58
  Speaker 1: to die for them if I die in the same cause,
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 1: should not I be a sank? Likewise? Yes? Yet shall
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 1: not I die there for all this? For it is
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 1: I that must do it to others and send them
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 1: mate packing. As he spaked this, he threw off his
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 1: great monk's habit and laid hold upon the staff of
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 1: the cross, which was made of the heart of a
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 1: sorba apple tree, it being of the length of a lance,
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 1: round of a full grip, and a little powdered with
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 1: lilies called flower de luce. The workmanship whereof was almost
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 1: all defaced and worn out. Thus went he out in
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 1: a fair, long skirted jacket, putting his frock scarf wiseed
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 1: athwart his breast, and in this equipage with his staff,
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 1: shaft or truncheon of the cross, laid on so lustily,
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 1: brisk and fiercely upon his enemies, who, without any order
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 1: or ensign, or trumpet or drum, were busied in gathering
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 1: the grapes of the vineyard for the cornets, guidance and
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 1: ensign bearers had laid down their standards, banners and colors
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 1: by the wall sides. The drummers had knocked out the
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 1: heads of their drums on one end to fill them
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 1: with grapes. The trumpeters were loaded with great bundles of
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 1: bunches and huge knots of clusters. In some every one
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 1: of them was out of array, and all in disorder.
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 1: He hurried therefore upon them so rudely, without crying, gare
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 1: or beware, that he overthrew them like hogs, tumbled them
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 1: over like swine, striking a thwart in a lungst and
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 1: by one means or other laid so about him after
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 1: the old fashion of fencing, that to some he beat
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 1: out their brains. To others he crushed their arms, battered
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 1: their legs, and beth, whacked their sides till their ribs
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 1: cracked with it. To others, again, he unjointed the spondyles
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 1: or knuckles of the neck, disfigured their chaps, gashed their faces,
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 1: made their cheeks hang flapping on their chin, and so
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 1: swinged and belamed them that they fell down before him
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 1: like hay before a more. To some others, he spoiled
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 1: the frame of their kidneys, marred their backs, broke their
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 1: thigh bones, pashed in their noses, poached out their eyes,
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 1: cleft their mandibles, tore their jaws, dung in their teeth
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 1: into their throat, shook asunder their oma plates or shoulder blades,
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 1: spascillated their shins, mortified their shanks, inflamed their ankles, heathed
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 1: off of the hinges, their issues, their sciatica or hip gout,
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 1: dislocated the joints of their knees, squatted into pieces the
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 1: bots or pestles of their thighs, and so thumped, mauled,
• 2:35:25
  Speaker 1: and belabored them everywhere that never was corn so thick
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 1: and threefold threshed upon by Pluffman's flails, as were the
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 1: pitifully disjointed members of their mangled bodies, under the merciless
• 2:35:35
  Speaker 1: batten of the cross. If any offered to hide himself
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 1: amongst the thickest of the vines, he laid him squat
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 1: as a flounder, bruised the ridge of his back, and
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 1: dashed his reins like a dog. If any thought by
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 1: flight to escape, he made his head to fly in
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 1: pieces by the lamboidal commissure, which is a seam in
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 1: the hinder part of the skull. If anyone did scramble
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 1: up into a tree, thinking there to be safe, he
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 1: rent up his perinee and impaled him in at the fundament.
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 1: If any of his old acquaintance happened to cry out, ha,
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 1: friar John, my friend, friar John, Quarter Quarter, I yield
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 1: myself to you. To you, I render myself. So thou shalt,
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 1: said he, and must whether thou wouldst or no, and
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 1: withal render and yield up thy soul to all the
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 1: devils in hell, then suddenly gave them dronos, that is,
• 2:36:26
  Speaker 1: so many knocks, thumps, wraps, dints, quax and bangs as
• 2:36:30
  Speaker 1: suffice to warn Pluto of their coming and despatch the
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 1: may going. If any was so rash and full of
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 1: temerity as to resist him to his face. Then was
• 2:36:39
  Speaker 1: it he did show the strength of his muscles, For
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 1: without more ado, he did transpierce him by running him
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 1: in at the breast through the mediastine in the heart.
• 2:36:49
  Speaker 1: Others again he so quashed and bebumped, that with a
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 1: sound bounce under the hollow of their short ribs, he
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 1: overturned their stomach, so that they died immediately. To some,
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 1: with a smart souse on the epigaster, he would make
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 1: their midriff swag. Then, redoubling the blow, gave them such
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 1: a home push on the navel that he made their
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 1: puddings to gush out. To others through their ballocks, he
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 1: pierced their bumgut, and left not bowl tripe nor entrailed
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 1: in their body. That had not felt the impetuosity, fierceness,
• 2:37:20
  Speaker 1: and fury of his violence, believe that it was the
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 1: most horrible spectacle that ever one saw. Some cried unto
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 1: Saint Barb, others to Saint George. Oh, the holy Lady Knightuch,
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 1: said one the good sanctus O, our lady of succors,
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 1: said another, Help help, Others cried our Lady of Cunot,
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 1: of Loretto, of good tidings on the other side of
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 1: the water, Saint Mary over. Some vowed a pilgrimage to
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 1: Saint James, and others to the Holy Handkerchief at Chamboury,
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 1: which three months after that burnt so well in the
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 1: fire that they could not get one thread of it saved.
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 1: Others sent up their vows to Saint Cadouine, others to
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 1: Saint John Diangley, and to Saint Eutropius of Zaines. Others
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 1: again invoked Saint Mesmes of Chinon, Saint Martin of Candez,
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 1: Saint Cloud of Sinnays, the Holy Relics of Lorize, with
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 1: a thousand other jolly little saints and santrals. Some died
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 1: without speaking, others spoke without dying. Some died in speaking,
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 1: others spoke in dying. Others shouted as loud as they could, Confession, confession,
• 2:38:27
  Speaker 1: confedire misery in Manus. So great was the cry of
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 1: the wounded that the prior of the abbey, with all
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 1: his monks, came forth, who, when they saw these poor
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 1: wretches so slain amongst the vines and wounded to death,
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 1: confessed some of them. But whilst the priests were busied
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 1: in confessing them. The little monkeys ran all to the
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 1: place where Friar John was, and asked him wherein he
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 1: would be pleased to require their assistance, to which he
• 2:38:55
  Speaker 1: answered that they should cut the throats of those he
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 1: had thrown down upon the ground. They, presently, leaving their
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 1: outer habits and cowls upon the rails, began to throttle
• 2:39:04
  Speaker 1: and make an end of those whom he had already crushed.
• 2:39:08
  Speaker 1: Can you tell with what instruments? They did it? With,
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 1: fair gullies, which are little hulchback demi knives the iron
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 1: tool whereof is two inches long, and the wooden handle
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 1: one inch thick and three inches in length. Wherewith the
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 1: little boys in our country cut ripe walnuts in two
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 1: while they are yet in the shell, and pick out
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 1: the kernel. And they found them very fit for the
• 2:39:29
  Speaker 1: expediting of that reason slitting exploit. In the meantime, Friar John,
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 1: with his formidable batten of the cross, got to the
• 2:39:37
  Speaker 1: breach which the enemies had made, and there stood to
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 1: snatch up those that endeavored to escape. Some of the
• 2:39:43
  Speaker 1: monkeitos carried the standards, banners, ensigns, guidance and colors into
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 1: their cells and chambers to make guarters of them. But
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 1: when those that had been shriven would have gone out
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 1: at the gap of the said breech, the sturdy monk
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 1: quashed and felled them down with blows, saying, these these
• 2:40:00
  Speaker 1: men have had confession and are penitent souls. They have
• 2:40:03
  Speaker 1: got their absolution and gain the pardons. They go into
• 2:40:06
  Speaker 1: paradise as straight as a sickle, or as the way
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 1: is to Fae, like crooked lane at eastcheap. Thus, by
• 2:40:13
  Speaker 1: his prowess and valor were discomfited all those of the
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 1: army that entered into the close of the abbey, unto
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 1: the number of thirteen thousand, six hundred twenty and two,
• 2:40:23
  Speaker 1: besides the women and little children, which is always to
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 1: be understood, Never did Maugis the hermit bear himself more
• 2:40:30
  Speaker 1: valiantly with his borden or Pilgrim's staff against the Saracens,
• 2:40:34
  Speaker 1: of whom is written in the Acts of the Four
• 2:40:36
  Speaker 1: Sons of Amen, than did this monk against his enemies
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 1: with the staff of the cross. Chapter one, eighteen I dot.
• 2:40:43
  Speaker 1: How picrickoal stormed and took by assault the rock Clerman
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 1: and of Granngvizier's unwillingness and aversion from the undertaking of war.
• 2:40:53
  Speaker 1: Whilst the monk did thus skirmish, as we have said,
• 2:40:55
  Speaker 1: against those which were entered within the clothes. Picrickical in
• 2:40:59
  Speaker 1: great haste pastas the fort of vide a very especial
• 2:41:02
  Speaker 1: pass with all his soldiers, and set upon the rock Clermant,
• 2:41:06
  Speaker 1: where there was made in no resistance at all. And
• 2:41:08
  Speaker 1: because it was already night, he resolved to quarter himself
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 1: and his army in that town, and to refresh himself
• 2:41:15
  Speaker 1: of his pugnative collar. In the morning he stormed and
• 2:41:19
  Speaker 1: took the bulwarks and castle, which afterwards he fortified with
• 2:41:22
  Speaker 1: rampiers and furnished with all ammunition requisite, intending to make
• 2:41:26
  Speaker 1: his retreat there if he should happen to be otherwise worsted.
• 2:41:30
  Speaker 1: For it was a strong place both by art and nature,
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 1: in regard of the stance and situation of it. But
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 1: let us leave them there and return to our good Gargantua,
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 1: who is at Paris very assiduous and earnest at the
• 2:41:43
  Speaker 1: study of good letters and athletical exercitations, And to the
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 1: good old man Grangesier, his father, who after supper warmeth
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 1: his ballocks by a good clear great fire, and waiting
• 2:41:55
  Speaker 1: upon the broiling of some chestnuts, is very serious in
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 1: drawing scratches on the hearth with a stick burnt at
• 2:42:01
  Speaker 1: the one end, wherewith they did stir up the fire,
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 1: telling to his wife and the rest of the family
• 2:42:06
  Speaker 1: pleasant old stories and tales of former times. Whilst he
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 1: was thus employed, one of the shepherds which did keep
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 1: the vines, named Pilot, came towards him, and to the
• 2:42:16
  Speaker 1: full related the enormous abuses which were committed, and the
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 1: excessive spoil that was made by piccrickoal, King of Learn,
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 1: upon his lands and territories, and how he had pillaged,
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 1: wasted and ransacked all the country except the enclosure at Seville,
• 2:42:32
  Speaker 1: which Friar John de anti Mers, to his great honor,
• 2:42:34
  Speaker 1: had preserved, And that at the same present time the
• 2:42:37
  Speaker 1: said king was in the rock Clermant, and there, with
• 2:42:40
  Speaker 1: great industry and circumspection, was strengthening himself and his whole army.
• 2:42:45
  Speaker 1: Hallis hallis alas said grangisere. What is this? Good? People?
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 1: Do I dream? Or is it true that they tell me? Piicrickoal,
• 2:42:56
  Speaker 1: my ancient friend of old time, of my own kindred
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 1: and alliance comes he to invade me? What moves him,
• 2:43:03
  Speaker 1: what provokes him, what sets him on, what drives him
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 1: to it? Who hath given him this counsel? Ho Ho
• 2:43:13
  Speaker 1: Ho Ho Ho, My God, my Savior, help me, inspire me,
• 2:43:18
  Speaker 1: and advise me what I shall do. I protest, I
• 2:43:22
  Speaker 1: swear before THEE. So be thou favorable to me if
• 2:43:25
  Speaker 1: ever I did him or his subjects any damage or displeasure,
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 1: or committed any the least robbery in his country. But
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 1: on the contrary, I have succored and supplied him with men, money, friendship,
• 2:43:36
  Speaker 1: and counsel upon any occasion wherein I could be steadable
• 2:43:40
  Speaker 1: for the improvement of his good. That he hath therefore,
• 2:43:43
  Speaker 1: at this nick of time so outraged and wronged me.
• 2:43:47
  Speaker 1: It cannot be but by the malevolent and wicked spirit.
• 2:43:50
  Speaker 1: Good God, Thou knowest my courage, For nothing can be
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 1: hidden from thee. If perhaps he be grown mad, and
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 1: that thou hast sent him hither to me for the
• 2:43:59
  Speaker 1: better recovery and re establishment of his brain, grant me
• 2:44:03
  Speaker 1: power and wisdom to bring him to the yoke of
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 1: thy holy will by good discipline. Ho Ho ho Ho,
• 2:44:09
  Speaker 1: My good people, my friends, and my faithful servants, must
• 2:44:13
  Speaker 1: I hinder you from helping me alas my old age required.
• 2:44:17
  Speaker 1: Henceforward nothing else but rest. And all the days of
• 2:44:21
  Speaker 1: my life I have labored for nothing so much as peace.
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 1: But now I must I see it well. Load with
• 2:44:27
  Speaker 1: arms my poor, weary and feeble shoulders, and take in
• 2:44:30
  Speaker 1: my trembling hand the lance and horsemen's mace to succor
• 2:44:33
  Speaker 1: and protect my honest subjects. Reason will have it so,
• 2:44:38
  Speaker 1: for by their labor am I entertained, and with their
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 1: sweat am I nourished I, my children, and my family.
• 2:44:45
  Speaker 1: This notwithstanding, I will not undertake war until I have
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 1: first tried all the ways and means of peace that
• 2:44:51
  Speaker 1: I resolve upon. Then assembled he his counsel and proposed
• 2:44:55
  Speaker 1: the matter as it was indeed, whereupon it was concluded
• 2:44:59
  Speaker 1: that they they should send some discreet man unto piccrickoal
• 2:45:02
  Speaker 1: to know wherefore he had thus suddenly broken the peace
• 2:45:05
  Speaker 1: and invaded those lands unto which he had no right
• 2:45:08
  Speaker 1: nor title. Furthermore, that they should send for Gargantua and
• 2:45:12
  Speaker 1: those under his command, for the preservation of the country
• 2:45:16
  Speaker 1: and defense thereof now at need. All this pleased Grangesier
• 2:45:20
  Speaker 1: very well, and he commanded that so it should be
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 1: done presently. Therefore, he sent the basque his lackey to
• 2:45:26
  Speaker 1: fetch Gargantua with all diligence, and wrote him as followeth
• 2:45:31
  Speaker 1: chapter one dot SIGTT the ten hour of the letter
• 2:45:34
  Speaker 1: which Grangosire wrote to his son Gargantua. The fervency of
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 1: thy studies did require that I should not, in a
• 2:45:40
  Speaker 1: long time recall THEE from that philosophical rest thou now
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 1: enjoyest if the confidence reposed in our friends and ancient
• 2:45:47
  Speaker 1: confederates had not at this present disappointed the assurance of
• 2:45:50
  Speaker 1: my old age. But seeing such is my fatal destiny,
• 2:45:55
  Speaker 1: that I should be now disquieted by those in whom
• 2:45:57
  Speaker 1: I trusted most, I am forced to call THEE back
• 2:46:00
  Speaker 1: to help the people and goods, which, by the right
• 2:46:02
  Speaker 1: of nature belong unto THEE. For even as arms are
• 2:46:06
  Speaker 1: weak abroad, if there be not counsel at home, so
• 2:46:09
  Speaker 1: is that study vain in council and profitable, which in
• 2:46:12
  Speaker 1: a due and convenient time is not, by virtue executed
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 1: and put in effect. My deliberation is not to provoke,
• 2:46:19
  Speaker 1: but to appease, not to assault, but to defend, not
• 2:46:23
  Speaker 1: to conquer. But to preserve my faithful subjects and hereditary dominions,
• 2:46:27
  Speaker 1: into which Piccrickal is entered in a hostile manner, without
• 2:46:30
  Speaker 1: any ground or cause, and from day to day pursued
• 2:46:34
  Speaker 1: his furious enterprise with that height of insolence that is
• 2:46:37
  Speaker 1: intolerable to free born spirits. I have endeavored to moderate
• 2:46:41
  Speaker 1: his tyrannical collar, offering him all that which I thought
• 2:46:44
  Speaker 1: might give him satisfaction. And oftentimes have I sent lovingly
• 2:46:47
  Speaker 1: unto him to understand wherein by whom and how he
• 2:46:50
  Speaker 1: found himself to be wronged. But of him could I
• 2:46:54
  Speaker 1: obtain no other answer but a mere defiance, And that
• 2:46:57
  Speaker 1: in my lands he did pretend only to the right
• 2:46:59
  Speaker 1: of a civil cours, correspondency, and good behavior. Whereby I
• 2:47:02
  Speaker 1: knew that the eternal God hath left him to the
• 2:47:04
  Speaker 1: disposure of his own free will and sensual appetite, which
• 2:47:08
  Speaker 1: cannot choose but be wicked, if, by divine grace it
• 2:47:12
  Speaker 1: be not continually guided, And to contain him within his
• 2:47:15
  Speaker 1: duty and bring him to know himself, hath sent him
• 2:47:18
  Speaker 1: hither to meet by a grievous token. Therefore, my beloved son,
• 2:47:23
  Speaker 1: as soon as thou canst upon sight of these letters,
• 2:47:26
  Speaker 1: repair hither with all diligence to succor not me so
• 2:47:29
  Speaker 1: much which nevertheless, by natural piety thou oughtest to do
• 2:47:33
  Speaker 1: as thine own people, which by reason thou mayest save
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 1: and preserve. The exploit shall be done with as little
• 2:47:40
  Speaker 1: effusion of blood as may be, and if possible, by
• 2:47:44
  Speaker 1: means far more expedient, such as military policy devices and
• 2:47:48
  Speaker 1: stratagems of war, We shall save all the souls and
• 2:47:52
  Speaker 1: send them home as merry as crickets unto their own houses.
• 2:47:56
  Speaker 1: My dearest son, the peace of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer,
• 2:47:59
  Speaker 1: be with thee salute from me Poncrates, Gymnasts, and Yedaemon.
• 2:48:05
  Speaker 1: The twentieth of September, thy Father Grangeesier, Chapter one dot,
• 2:48:10
  Speaker 1: triple x dot. How Orich Gallat was sent unto Piicrickal,
• 2:48:15
  Speaker 1: the letters being dictated, signed and sealed, Grangissseer ordained that
• 2:48:20
  Speaker 1: Orich Gallat, master of the requests, a very wise and
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 1: discreet man of whose prudence and sound judgment he had
• 2:48:26
  Speaker 1: made trial in several difficult and debateful matters, should go
• 2:48:31
  Speaker 1: unto Picrickal to show what had been decreed amongst them
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 1: at the same hour departed the good man Gallant, and
• 2:48:38
  Speaker 1: having passed the ford, asked at the miller that dwelt
• 2:48:40
  Speaker 1: there in what condition Piicrickal was, who answered him that
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 1: his soldiers had left him neither cock nor hen, that
• 2:48:46
  Speaker 1: they were retired and shut up into the rock Clerman,
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 1: and that he would not advise him to go any
• 2:48:52
  Speaker 1: further for fear of the scouts, because they were enormously furious,
• 2:48:57
  Speaker 1: which he easily believed, and therefore lodged that night with
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 1: the Miller. The next morning he went with a trumpeter
• 2:49:04
  Speaker 1: to the gate of the castle and required the guards
• 2:49:06
  Speaker 1: he might be admitted to speak with the King of
• 2:49:08
  Speaker 1: somewhat that concerned him. These words being told unto the King,
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 1: he would by no means consent that they should open
• 2:49:15
  Speaker 1: the gate. But, getting upon the top of the bulwark,
• 2:49:18
  Speaker 1: said unto the ambassador, what is the news? What have
• 2:49:21
  Speaker 1: you to say? Then the ambassador began to speak, as
• 2:49:25
  Speaker 1: followeth chapter one dot x x XXI dot the speech
• 2:49:29
  Speaker 1: made by Gallop to Picricole. There cannot arise amongst men
• 2:49:33
  Speaker 1: a just cause of grief than when they receive hurt
• 2:49:36
  Speaker 1: and damage, where they may justly expect for favor and
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 1: good will, and not without cause, though without reason, have many,
• 2:49:43
  Speaker 1: after they had fallen into such a calamitous accident, esteemed
• 2:49:46
  Speaker 1: this indignity less supportable than the loss of their own lives.
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 1: In such sort that if they have not been able,
• 2:49:53
  Speaker 1: by force of arms, nor any other means, by reach
• 2:49:56
  Speaker 1: of wit or subtlety, to stop them in their course
• 2:49:58
  Speaker 1: and restrain their fury, they have fallen into desperation and
• 2:50:02
  Speaker 1: utterly deprived themselves of this light. It is therefore no
• 2:50:06
  Speaker 1: wonder if King Grangusir, my master, be full of high
• 2:50:09
  Speaker 1: displeasure and much disquieted in mind upon thy outrageous and
• 2:50:13
  Speaker 1: hostile coming. But truly it would be a marvel if
• 2:50:15
  Speaker 1: he were not sensible of and moved with the incomparable
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 1: abuses and injuries perpetrated by THEE and Thine upon those
• 2:50:21
  Speaker 1: of his country, towards whom there hath been no example
• 2:50:25
  Speaker 1: of inhumanity omitted, which in itself is to him so
• 2:50:29
  Speaker 1: grievous for the cordial affection wherewith he hath always cherished
• 2:50:33
  Speaker 1: his subjects, that more it cannot be to any mortal man.
• 2:50:36
  Speaker 1: Yet in this above human apprehension is it to him
• 2:50:40
  Speaker 1: the more grievous that these wrongs and sad offenses have
• 2:50:43
  Speaker 1: been committed by THEE and Thine who time out of
• 2:50:46
  Speaker 1: mind from all antiquity. Thou and thy predecessors have been
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 1: in a continual league, in amity with Him and all
• 2:50:52
  Speaker 1: his ancestors, which even until this time you have as
• 2:50:55
  Speaker 1: sacred together inviolably preserved, kept and entertained so well that
• 2:51:01
  Speaker 1: not he and his only, but the very barbarous nations
• 2:51:04
  Speaker 1: of the Poictivins, Bretons, Mans's, and those that dwell beyond
• 2:51:08
  Speaker 1: the isles of the Canaries and that of Isabella, have
• 2:51:11
  Speaker 1: thought it as easy to pull down the firmament and
• 2:51:14
  Speaker 1: to set up the depths above the clouds, as to
• 2:51:16
  Speaker 1: make a breach in your alliance, and have been so
• 2:51:20
  Speaker 1: afraid of it in their enterprises that they have never
• 2:51:22
  Speaker 1: dared to provoke incense or in damaged the one, for
• 2:51:26
  Speaker 1: fear of the other. Nay, which is more, this sacred
• 2:51:30
  Speaker 1: league hath so filled the world that there are few
• 2:51:33
  Speaker 1: nations at this day inhabiting throughout all the continent and
• 2:51:36
  Speaker 1: isles of the ocean, who have not ambitiously aspired to
• 2:51:39
  Speaker 1: be received into it upon your own covenants and conditions,
• 2:51:43
  Speaker 1: holding your joint confederacy in as high esteem as their
• 2:51:47
  Speaker 1: own territories and dominions, in such sort that from the
• 2:51:50
  Speaker 1: memory of man there hath not been either prince or
• 2:51:53
  Speaker 1: league so wild and proud that durst have offered to invade.
• 2:51:56
  Speaker 1: I say, not your countries, but not so much as
• 2:51:59
  Speaker 1: those of your confederate. And if by rash and heavy
• 2:52:03
  Speaker 1: counsel they have attempted any new design against them, as
• 2:52:06
  Speaker 1: soon as they heard the name and title of your alliance,
• 2:52:09
  Speaker 1: they have suddenly desisted from their enterprises. What rage and madness?
• 2:52:14
  Speaker 1: Therefore doth now incite thee all old alliance, infringed, all amity,
• 2:52:19
  Speaker 1: trod under foot, and all right violated, thus in a
• 2:52:22
  Speaker 1: hostile manner, to invade his country, without having been by
• 2:52:25
  Speaker 1: him or his in anything prejudiced, wronged, or provoked. Where
• 2:52:30
  Speaker 1: is faith? Where is law? Where is reason? Where is humanity?
• 2:52:36
  Speaker 1: Where is the fear of God? Dost thou think that
• 2:52:40
  Speaker 1: these atrocious abuses are hidden from the eternal Spirit and
• 2:52:43
  Speaker 1: the Supreme God, who is the just rewarder of all
• 2:52:45
  Speaker 1: our undertakings. If thou so think, thou deceivest thyself, for
• 2:52:50
  Speaker 1: all things shall come to pass as in his incomprehensible
• 2:52:53
  Speaker 1: judgment he hath appointed. Is it thy fatal destiny or
• 2:52:57
  Speaker 1: influences of the stars that would put an end to
• 2:53:00
  Speaker 1: thy so long enjoyed ease and rest? For that all
• 2:53:03
  Speaker 1: things have their end and period, so as that when
• 2:53:06
  Speaker 1: they are come to the superlative point of their greatest height,
• 2:53:09
  Speaker 1: they are in a trice tumbled down again, as not
• 2:53:12
  Speaker 1: being able to abide long in that state. This is
• 2:53:15
  Speaker 1: the conclusion and end of those who cannot, by reason
• 2:53:18
  Speaker 1: and temperance, moderate their fortunes and prosperities. But if it
• 2:53:22
  Speaker 1: be predestinated that thy happiness and ease must now come
• 2:53:25
  Speaker 1: to an end, must it needs be by wronging my king,
• 2:53:28
  Speaker 1: Him by whom thou wert established. If thy house must
• 2:53:32
  Speaker 1: come to ruin, should it therefore, in its fall crush
• 2:53:35
  Speaker 1: the heels of Him that set it up? The matter
• 2:53:38
  Speaker 1: is so unreasonable and so dissonant from common sense, that
• 2:53:41
  Speaker 1: hardly can it be conceived by human understanding, and altogether
• 2:53:45
  Speaker 1: incredible unto strangers, till by the certain and undoubted effects thereof,
• 2:53:50
  Speaker 1: it be made apparent that nothing is either sacred or
• 2:53:53
  Speaker 1: wholly to those who, having emancipated themselves from God and reason,
• 2:53:57
  Speaker 1: do merely follow the perverse affections of their own depraved nature.
• 2:54:02
  Speaker 1: If any wrong had been done by us to thy
• 2:54:04
  Speaker 1: subjects and dominions, if we had favored thy ill willers,
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 1: if we had not assisted THEE in thy need, if
• 2:54:10
  Speaker 1: thy name and reputation had been wounded by us, Or
• 2:54:13
  Speaker 1: to speak more truly, if the calumniating spirit, tempting to
• 2:54:17
  Speaker 1: induce THEE to evil, had, by false illusions and deceitful phantasies,
• 2:54:22
  Speaker 1: put into thy conceit the impression of a thought that
• 2:54:24
  Speaker 1: we had done unto the anything unworthy of our ancient
• 2:54:27
  Speaker 1: correspondence and friendship. Thou oughtest first to have inquired out
• 2:54:30
  Speaker 1: the truth, and afterwards by a seasonable warning, to admonish
• 2:54:34
  Speaker 1: us thereof, And we should have so satisfied THEE according
• 2:54:37
  Speaker 1: to thine own heart's desire, that thou shouldst have had
• 2:54:41
  Speaker 1: occasion to be contented. But O Eternal God, what is
• 2:54:45
  Speaker 1: thy enterprise? Wouldst thou like a perfidious tyrant, thus spoil
• 2:54:50
  Speaker 1: and lay waste my master's kingdom? Hast thou found him
• 2:54:54
  Speaker 1: so silly and blockish that he would not or so
• 2:54:57
  Speaker 1: destitute of men and money, of counsel and skill, in
• 2:55:00
  Speaker 1: military discipline, that he cannot withstand thy unjust invasion. March
• 2:55:05
  Speaker 1: hence presently and tomorrow some time of the day, retreat
• 2:55:09
  Speaker 1: unto thine own country, without doing any kind of violence
• 2:55:12
  Speaker 1: or disorderly act. By the way, and pay with all
• 2:55:15
  Speaker 1: a thousand bisans of gold, which in English money amounteth
• 2:55:19
  Speaker 1: to five thousand pounds for reparation of the damages thou
• 2:55:22
  Speaker 1: hast done in this country. Hath thou shalt pay tomorrow,
• 2:55:27
  Speaker 1: and the other half at the IDEs of May next
• 2:55:29
  Speaker 1: coming leaving with us in the meantime for hostages the
• 2:55:32
  Speaker 1: dukes of Turnbank, Lobatok and small Trash, together with the
• 2:55:36
  Speaker 1: Prince of Itches and Viscount of snatch Bit Turnmoil Bodifescees
• 2:55:40
  Speaker 1: Menuele Gretel's morpl Chapter one dot x x xi I dot.
• 2:55:46
  Speaker 1: How grangusir to buy peace caused the cakes to be restored.
• 2:55:52
  Speaker 1: With that the good man Gallant held his peace. But Picrickle,
• 2:55:55
  Speaker 1: to all his discourse, answered nothing but come and fetch them.
• 2:55:59
  Speaker 1: Come and fetch them. They have balocks fair and soft,
• 2:56:02
  Speaker 1: they will need and provide some cakes for you. Then
• 2:56:05
  Speaker 1: returned he to Grangeessere, whom he found upon his knees, bareheaded,
• 2:56:09
  Speaker 1: crouching in a little corner of his cabinet, and humbly
• 2:56:12
  Speaker 1: praying unto God that he would vouchsafe to assuage the
• 2:56:15
  Speaker 1: collar of Picrickle and bring him to the rule of
• 2:56:17
  Speaker 1: reason without proceeding by force. When the good man came back,
• 2:56:22
  Speaker 1: he asked him, Ah, my friend, what news do you
• 2:56:25
  Speaker 1: bring me? There is neither hope nor remedy, said Gallant.
• 2:56:29
  Speaker 1: The man is quite out of his wits and forsaken
• 2:56:31
  Speaker 1: of God. Yea, But said Grangesere, my friend, what cause
• 2:56:36
  Speaker 1: doth he pretend for his outrages? He did not show
• 2:56:40
  Speaker 1: me any cause at all, said Gallant, only that in
• 2:56:43
  Speaker 1: a great anger he spoke some words of cakes. I
• 2:56:46
  Speaker 1: cannot tell if they have done any wrong to his
• 2:56:48
  Speaker 1: cake baker's I will know, said Grangesere, the matter thoroughly
• 2:56:53
  Speaker 1: before I resolve any more upon what is to be done.
• 2:56:57
  Speaker 1: Then sent he to learn concerning that business, and found
• 2:57:00
  Speaker 1: by true information that his men had taken violently some
• 2:57:03
  Speaker 1: cakes from Picrickole's people, and that Marquet's head was broken
• 2:57:07
  Speaker 1: with a slacky or short cudgel. That nevertheless, all was
• 2:57:10
  Speaker 1: well paid, and that the said marquees had first heart Forgier,
• 2:57:14
  Speaker 1: with a stroke of his whip athwart the legs, and
• 2:57:17
  Speaker 1: it seemed good to his whole counsel that he should
• 2:57:19
  Speaker 1: defend himself with all his might. Notwithstanding all this, said Grangusir,
• 2:57:25
  Speaker 1: seeing the question is but about a few cakes, I
• 2:57:28
  Speaker 1: will labor to content him, for I am very unwilling
• 2:57:31
  Speaker 1: to wage war against him. He inquired then what quantity
• 2:57:34
  Speaker 1: of cakes they had taken away, and, understanding that it
• 2:57:37
  Speaker 1: was but some four or five dozen, he commanded five
• 2:57:41
  Speaker 1: cartloads of them to be baked that same night, and
• 2:57:43
  Speaker 1: that there should be one full of cakes made with
• 2:57:45
  Speaker 1: fine butter, fine yolks of eggs, fine saffron, and fine spice,
• 2:57:50
  Speaker 1: to be bestowed upon marquees, unto whom likewise he directed
• 2:57:54
  Speaker 1: to be given seven hundred thousand, three phillips, that is,
• 2:57:58
  Speaker 1: at three shillings the piece one hundred five thousand pounds
• 2:58:02
  Speaker 1: and nine shillings of English money, for reparation of his
• 2:58:05
  Speaker 1: losses and hindrances, and for satisfaction of the chirurgeon that
• 2:58:08
  Speaker 1: had dressed his wound, and furthermore settled upon him and
• 2:58:12
  Speaker 1: his forever in freehold the apple orchard called La Pomardiere
• 2:58:17
  Speaker 1: for the conveyance and passing of all which was sent Gallant, who,
• 2:58:20
  Speaker 1: by the way as they went, made them gather near
• 2:58:22
  Speaker 1: the willow trees, great store of boughs, canes and reeds,
• 2:58:26
  Speaker 1: wherewith all the carriers were enjoined to garnish and deck
• 2:58:29
  Speaker 1: their carts, and each of them to carry one in
• 2:58:32
  Speaker 1: his hand, as himself likewise did thereby to give all
• 2:58:36
  Speaker 1: men to understand that they demanded but peace, and that
• 2:58:39
  Speaker 1: they came to buy it. Being come to the gate,
• 2:58:42
  Speaker 1: they required to speak with Picrickal from Grangesre. Picrickoal would
• 2:58:46
  Speaker 1: not so much as let them in, nor go to
• 2:58:49
  Speaker 1: speak with them, but sent them word that he was busy,
• 2:58:52
  Speaker 1: and that they should deliver their mind to Captain Tucodillan,
• 2:58:54
  Speaker 1: who was then planting a piece of ordnance upon the wall.
• 2:58:58
  Speaker 1: Then said the good man unto him, my lord, to
• 2:59:01
  Speaker 1: ease you of all this labor, and to take away
• 2:59:04
  Speaker 1: all excuses why you may not return unto our former alliance.
• 2:59:07
  Speaker 1: We do your presently restore unto you the cakes upon
• 2:59:10
  Speaker 1: which the quarrel arose. Five dozen did our people take
• 2:59:14
  Speaker 1: away they were well paid four We love peace so
• 2:59:17
  Speaker 1: well that we restore unto you five cart loads, of
• 2:59:20
  Speaker 1: which this cart shall be for marquis who doth most complain,
• 2:59:25
  Speaker 1: besides to content him entirely, here are seven hundred thousand,
• 2:59:29
  Speaker 1: three phillips, which I deliver to him. And for the
• 2:59:32
  Speaker 1: losses he may pretend to have sustained, I resign forever
• 2:59:35
  Speaker 1: the farm of the Pomardiere, to be possessed in fee
• 2:59:38
  Speaker 1: simple by him and his forever, without the payment of
• 2:59:41
  Speaker 1: any duty or acknowledgment of homage, fealty, fine, or service whatsoever.
• 2:59:47
  Speaker 1: And here is the ten hour of the deed. And
• 2:59:50
  Speaker 1: for God's sake, let us live henceforward in peace, and
• 2:59:54
  Speaker 1: withdraw yourselves merely into your own country from within this place,
• 2:59:57
  Speaker 1: unto which you have no right at all, as you
• 3:00:00
  Speaker 1: yourselves must needs confess, and let us be good friends,
• 3:00:03
  Speaker 1: as before took Adylan related all this to Picricle, and
• 3:00:07
  Speaker 1: more and more exasperated his courage, saying to him, these
• 3:00:11
  Speaker 1: clowns are afraid to some purpose by g Grangousier conskites
• 3:00:16
  Speaker 1: himself for fear the poor drinker. He is not skilled
• 3:00:20
  Speaker 1: in warfare, nor hath he any stomach for it. He
• 3:00:24
  Speaker 1: knows better how to empty the flagons, that is his art.
• 3:00:28
  Speaker 1: I am of opinion that it is fit we send
• 3:00:30
  Speaker 1: back the carts and the money, and for the rest
• 3:00:33
  Speaker 1: that very speedily we fortify ourselves here than prosecute our fortune.
• 3:00:38
  Speaker 1: But what do they think to have to do with
• 3:00:41
  Speaker 1: a ninny hoop to feed you? Thus with cakes? You
• 3:00:45
  Speaker 1: may see what it is the good usage and great
• 3:00:48
  Speaker 1: familiarity which you have had with them. Heretofore hath made
• 3:00:51
  Speaker 1: you contemptible in their eyes. Anoint a villain, He will
• 3:00:55
  Speaker 1: prick you. Prick a villain, and he will anoint you
• 3:00:58
  Speaker 1: ungent and pungent, puninem rusticus ungit saw essay, essay, said
• 3:01:04
  Speaker 1: piicrickoal By, Saint James, you have given a true character
• 3:01:08
  Speaker 1: of them. One thing I will advise you, said took
• 3:01:11
  Speaker 1: a dillan. We are here but badly vittled and furnished
• 3:01:15
  Speaker 1: with mouth harness, very slenderly. If Grangusir should come to
• 3:01:19
  Speaker 1: besiege us, I would go presently and pluck out of
• 3:01:22
  Speaker 1: all your soldiers heads and mine own all the teeth
• 3:01:25
  Speaker 1: except three to each of us, and with them alone
• 3:01:28
  Speaker 1: we should make an end of our provision. But too
• 3:01:30
  Speaker 1: soon we shall have said Piicrickoal. But too much sustenance
• 3:01:35
  Speaker 1: and feeding stuff came we hither to eat or to fight.
• 3:01:39
  Speaker 1: To fight, indeed, said took a dillan. Yet from the
• 3:01:43
  Speaker 1: paunch comes to dance, and where famine rule's force is exiled.
• 3:01:47
  Speaker 1: Leave off your prating, said Piicrickal, and forthwith seas upon
• 3:01:51
  Speaker 1: what they have brought. Then took the money and cakes,
• 3:01:55
  Speaker 1: oxen and carts, and sent them away, without speaking one word,
• 3:01:59
  Speaker 1: only that they would come no more so near, for
• 3:02:01
  Speaker 1: a reason that they would give them the morrow after. Thus,
• 3:02:05
  Speaker 1: without doing anything, returned they to Grangusre and related the
• 3:02:09
  Speaker 1: whole matter unto him, subjoining that there was no hope
• 3:02:12
  Speaker 1: left to draw them to peace, but by sharp and
• 3:02:14
  Speaker 1: fierce wars. Chapter one dot thirty three dot. How some
• 3:02:19
  Speaker 1: statesmen of pickrickoal by hair brained counsel, put him in
• 3:02:22
  Speaker 1: extreme danger. The carts being unloaded and the money and
• 3:02:26
  Speaker 1: cake secured, there came before Pickrickole, the Duke of small Trash,
• 3:02:30
  Speaker 1: the Earl Swashbuckler, and Captain Dirtail Menuel Spedassin Murdale, who said,
• 3:02:36
  Speaker 1: unto him, Sir, this day we make you the happiest,
• 3:02:39
  Speaker 1: the most warlike and chivalrous prince that ever was since
• 3:02:42
  Speaker 1: the death of Alexander of Macedonia, be covered, be covered,
• 3:02:47
  Speaker 1: said pickrickoal Gramercy, said, they we do, but our duty.
• 3:02:53
  Speaker 1: The manner is thus, you shall leave some captain here
• 3:02:56
  Speaker 1: to have the charge of this garrison, with a party
• 3:02:59
  Speaker 1: competent for gi keeping of the place, which, besides its
• 3:03:02
  Speaker 1: natural strength, is made stronger by the rampiers and fortresses
• 3:03:06
  Speaker 1: of your devising. Your army you are to divide into
• 3:03:09
  Speaker 1: two parts, as you know very well how to do.
• 3:03:13
  Speaker 1: One part thereof shall fall upon Grangisre and his forces.
• 3:03:17
  Speaker 1: By it shall he be easily, at the very first
• 3:03:20
  Speaker 1: shock routed. And then shall you get money by heaps
• 3:03:23
  Speaker 1: for the clown hath store of ready coin. Clown we
• 3:03:26
  Speaker 1: call him because a noble and generous prince hath never
• 3:03:30
  Speaker 1: a penny, and that to hoard up treasure is but
• 3:03:32
  Speaker 1: a clownish trick. The other part of the army, in
• 3:03:36
  Speaker 1: the meantime, shall draw towards One's Zeytong, Angamois and Gascony.
• 3:03:42
  Speaker 1: Then march to Perigot, Maydock and Elaine's, taking wherever you
• 3:03:46
  Speaker 1: come without resistance, towns, castles and forts. Afterwards, to Ballone,
• 3:03:52
  Speaker 1: Saint John Delaware Luke to foont Arabia, where you shall
• 3:03:55
  Speaker 1: seize upon all the ships and coasting along Galicia and Portugal,
• 3:03:59
  Speaker 1: shall pill all the maritime places, even unto Lisbon, where
• 3:04:04
  Speaker 1: you shall be supplied with all necessaries befitting a conqueror
• 3:04:08
  Speaker 1: by copsidy. Spain will yield, for they are but a
• 3:04:11
  Speaker 1: race of lubies. Then are you to pass by the
• 3:04:14
  Speaker 1: straits of Gibraltar, where you shall erect two pillars more
• 3:04:18
  Speaker 1: stately than those of Hercules, to the perpetual memory of
• 3:04:21
  Speaker 1: your name, and the narrow entrance there shall be called
• 3:04:23
  Speaker 1: the Picrocolonal Sea. Having passed the Picrocolonal Sea, behold, Barbarossa
• 3:04:29
  Speaker 1: yields himself your slave. I will, said picricoal give him
• 3:04:34
  Speaker 1: fair quarter and spare his life, yea, said they, so
• 3:04:38
  Speaker 1: that he be content to be christened. And you shall
• 3:04:41
  Speaker 1: conquer the kingdoms of Tunis, of Hippo, Argier, Bamin, Bona, Corone, Yea,
• 3:04:47
  Speaker 1: all Barbary. Furthermore, you shall take into your hands Majorca, Minorca, Sardinia, Corsica,
• 3:04:54
  Speaker 1: with the other islands of the Lygustic and Balierian seas,
• 3:04:58
  Speaker 1: going alongst on the left hand. Ye shall rule all
• 3:05:01
  Speaker 1: Gallian Arbonensis, Provence, the Allobrogians, Genoa, Florence, Lucca, and then
• 3:05:08
  Speaker 1: God b w y Rome. Our poor monsieur, the Pope
• 3:05:12
  Speaker 1: dies now for fear by my faith, said picricoal I
• 3:05:16
  Speaker 1: will not then kiss his pantoful Italy being thus taken.
• 3:05:21
  Speaker 1: Behold Naples, Calabria, Apulia, and Sicily, all ransacked and Maltatu.
• 3:05:28
  Speaker 1: I wish the pleasant knights of the roads heretofore would
• 3:05:30
  Speaker 1: but come to resist you, that we might see their urine.
• 3:05:34
  Speaker 1: I would, said picricoal very willingly go to Loretto. No, no,
• 3:05:40
  Speaker 1: said they, that shall be at our return. From thence
• 3:05:43
  Speaker 1: we will sail eastwards and take Candia, Cyprus, Rhodes, and
• 3:05:48
  Speaker 1: the Cyclaide islands, and set upon the Moria. It is
• 3:05:53
  Speaker 1: ours by Saint Trinian, the Lord preserved Jerusalem, for the
• 3:05:57
  Speaker 1: Great Sulvan is not comparable to you in I will, then,
• 3:06:02
  Speaker 1: said he, cause Solomon's temple to be built. No, said
• 3:06:06
  Speaker 1: they not yet have a little patience, stayed Awhile, be
• 3:06:10
  Speaker 1: never too sudden in your enterprises. Can you tell what
• 3:06:13
  Speaker 1: Octavian Augustus said Festina Lente. It is requisite that you
• 3:06:19
  Speaker 1: first have the lesser Asia, Curia, Litia, Pamphilia, Silicia, Lydia, Phrygia, Missia, Bithynia, Carazia, Satalia, Samagaria, Castamina,
• 3:06:31
  Speaker 1: Luga Sevasta, even unto Euphrates, shall we see, said Picrickole,
• 3:06:37
  Speaker 1: Babylon and Mount SINAI there is no need, said they
• 3:06:41
  Speaker 1: at this time have we not hurried up and down,
• 3:06:44
  Speaker 1: traveled and toiled enough in having trans fretted and passed
• 3:06:48
  Speaker 1: over the Hyrcanian Sea, marched alongst the two Armenias and
• 3:06:51
  Speaker 1: the three Arabias. I, by my faith said he. We
• 3:06:56
  Speaker 1: have played the fools and are undone hauls. What's the matter?
• 3:07:03
  Speaker 1: Said they? What shall we have said he to drink
• 3:07:07
  Speaker 1: in these deserts? For Julian and Augustus, with his whole army,
• 3:07:11
  Speaker 1: died there for thirst, As they say, we have already said.
• 3:07:15
  Speaker 1: They given order for that. In the Syriac Sea, you
• 3:07:19
  Speaker 1: have nine thousand, fourteen great ships laden with the best
• 3:07:22
  Speaker 1: wines in the world. They arrived at Port Joppa. There
• 3:07:27
  Speaker 1: they found two and twenty thousand camels and sixteen hundred elephants,
• 3:07:31
  Speaker 1: which you shall have taken at one hunting about segums
• 3:07:33
  Speaker 1: when you entered into Libya, And besides this you had
• 3:07:37
  Speaker 1: all the mecha caravan. Did not they furnish you sufficiently
• 3:07:41
  Speaker 1: with wine? Yes? But said he, we did not drink
• 3:07:45
  Speaker 1: it fresh by the virtue, said they not of a fish.
• 3:07:49
  Speaker 1: A valiant man, a conqueror who pretends and aspires to
• 3:07:53
  Speaker 1: the monarchy of the world cannot always have his ease.
• 3:07:57
  Speaker 1: God be thanked that you and your men are come
• 3:07:59
  Speaker 1: safe and sad to the banks of the river Tigris.
• 3:08:02
  Speaker 1: But said he, what doth that part of our army
• 3:08:05
  Speaker 1: in the meantime which overthrows that unworthy swillpot grangeser? They
• 3:08:10
  Speaker 1: are not idle, said they. We shall meet with them
• 3:08:13
  Speaker 1: by an by they shall have won you. Brittany, Normandy, Flanders, Hainaut, Brabant, Artois, Holland, Zealand.
• 3:08:22
  Speaker 1: They have passed the Rhine over the bellies of the
• 3:08:24
  Speaker 1: Switzers and Lanscanets, and a party of these hats subdued Luxembourg, Lorraine,
• 3:08:29
  Speaker 1: Champagne and Savoy, even to Lyons, in which place they
• 3:08:33
  Speaker 1: have met with your forces returning from the naval conquests
• 3:08:36
  Speaker 1: of the Mediterranean Sea, and have rallied again in Bohemia.
• 3:08:40
  Speaker 1: After they had plundered and sacked Suivia, Wittenberg, Bavaria, Austria,
• 3:08:44
  Speaker 1: Moravia and Styria. Then they set fiercely together upon Lubek, Norway, Swedeland,
• 3:08:51
  Speaker 1: ree Denmark, Gitland, Greenland, the Stirlands, even unto the frozen Sea.
• 3:08:58
  Speaker 1: This done, they conquered the Isle of Orkney in subdued Scotland,
• 3:09:02
  Speaker 1: England and Ireland. From thence, sailing through the Sandy Sea,
• 3:09:06
  Speaker 1: and by the Sarmatees, they have vanquished and overcome Prussia, Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Wallachia, Transylvania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, Land,
• 3:09:16
  Speaker 1: and are now at Constantinople. Come, said picrickoal Let us
• 3:09:21
  Speaker 1: go join with them quickly, for I will be emperor
• 3:09:24
  Speaker 1: of Trebizond. Also, shall we not kill all these dogs,
• 3:09:28
  Speaker 1: Turks and Mahommedans. What a devil should we do? Else,
• 3:09:33
  Speaker 1: said they, And you shall give their goods and lands
• 3:09:36
  Speaker 1: to such as shall have served you honestly, reason said
• 3:09:40
  Speaker 1: he will have it. So, that is, but just I
• 3:09:44
  Speaker 1: give unto you the Caramania, Suria and all the Palestine.
• 3:09:49
  Speaker 1: Ha Sir, said they. It is out of your goodness, Gramercy,
• 3:09:53
  Speaker 1: we thank you, God, grant you may always prosper. There
• 3:09:57
  Speaker 1: was there present at that time an old gentleman, well
• 3:10:00
  Speaker 1: experienced in the wars, a stern soldier, and who had
• 3:10:03
  Speaker 1: been in many great hazards, named the Keefron, who, hearing
• 3:10:07
  Speaker 1: this discourse, said, I do greatly doubt that all this
• 3:10:11
  Speaker 1: enterprise will be like the tail or interlude of the
• 3:10:13
  Speaker 1: pitcher full of milkware with a shoemaker made himself rich
• 3:10:16
  Speaker 1: in conceit, But when the pitcher was broken, he had
• 3:10:19
  Speaker 1: not whereupon to dine. What do you pretend by these
• 3:10:23
  Speaker 1: large conquests? What shall be the end of so many
• 3:10:26
  Speaker 1: labors and crosses? Thus it shall be said Picrickole, that
• 3:10:31
  Speaker 1: when we are returned, we shall sit down, rest and
• 3:10:34
  Speaker 1: be merry. But said a Chefron, if by chance you
• 3:10:38
  Speaker 1: should never come back, for the voyage is long and dangerous.
• 3:10:42
  Speaker 1: Were it not better for us to take our rest
• 3:10:44
  Speaker 1: now than unnecessarily to expose ourselves to so many dangers? Oh,
• 3:10:49
  Speaker 1: said swashbuckler. By g here is a good dodor. Come
• 3:10:53
  Speaker 1: let us go hide ourselves in the corner of a chimney,
• 3:10:56
  Speaker 1: and there spend the whole time of our life amongst
• 3:10:58
  Speaker 1: ladies in threading of pro or spinning like Sardanapolis. He
• 3:11:03
  Speaker 1: that nothing ventures hath neither horse nor mule, says Solomon.
• 3:11:08
  Speaker 1: He who adventureth too much, said a cephron, lest seth
• 3:11:11
  Speaker 1: both horse and mule, answered Malchin. Enough, said Piicrickoal go forward.
• 3:11:18
  Speaker 1: I fear nothing but that these devilish legions of Grangus here,
• 3:11:21
  Speaker 1: whilst we are in Mesopotamia, will come on our backs
• 3:11:24
  Speaker 1: and charge up our rear. What course shall we then take?
• 3:11:28
  Speaker 1: What shall be our remedy? A very good one, said
• 3:11:32
  Speaker 1: dirt Tail. A pretty little commission which you must send
• 3:11:35
  Speaker 1: unto the Muscovites, shall bring you into the field in
• 3:11:38
  Speaker 1: an instant four hundred and fifty thousand choice men of war,
• 3:11:42
  Speaker 1: Oh that you would, but make me your lieutenant general.
• 3:11:44
  Speaker 1: I should for the lightest faults of any inflict great punishments.
• 3:11:48
  Speaker 1: I fret, I charge, I strike, I take, I kill,
• 3:11:52
  Speaker 1: I slay, I play the devil on on, said Piicrickal
• 3:11:57
  Speaker 1: make haste, my lads, and let him that loves me
• 3:12:00
  Speaker 1: follow me. Chapter one dot x x XI vedot how
• 3:12:05
  Speaker 1: Gargantua left the city of Paris to succor his country,
• 3:12:08
  Speaker 1: and how gymnast encountered with the enemy in this same
• 3:12:12
  Speaker 1: very hour. Gargantua, who was gone out of Paris as
• 3:12:15
  Speaker 1: soon as he had read his father's letters, coming upon
• 3:12:17
  Speaker 1: his great mayor, had already passed the Nunnery Bridge himself, Ponocrates,
• 3:12:22
  Speaker 1: Gymnast and Yeedemon, who all three the better to enable
• 3:12:26
  Speaker 1: them to go along with him, took post horses. The
• 3:12:30
  Speaker 1: rest of his train came after him by even journeys
• 3:12:32
  Speaker 1: at a slower pace, bringing with them all his books
• 3:12:35
  Speaker 1: and philosophical instruments. As soon as he had alighted at Peril,
• 3:12:40
  Speaker 1: he was informed by a farmer of Gaget how Piccrickole
• 3:12:43
  Speaker 1: had fortified himself within the Rock Clermont, and had sent
• 3:12:46
  Speaker 1: Captain Tripet with a great army to set upon the
• 3:12:48
  Speaker 1: wood of Vide and Vogatry, and that they had already
• 3:12:51
  Speaker 1: plundered the whole country, not leaving cock nor hen even
• 3:12:55
  Speaker 1: as far as to the wine press of Ballard. These
• 3:12:58
  Speaker 1: strange and almost in credible news of the enormous abuses
• 3:13:02
  Speaker 1: thus committed over all the land so affrighted Gargantua that
• 3:13:05
  Speaker 1: he knew not what to say nor do. But Poncrates
• 3:13:09
  Speaker 1: counseled him to go unto the lord of Vogyon, who
• 3:13:11
  Speaker 1: at all times had been their friend and confederate, and
• 3:13:14
  Speaker 1: that by him they should be better advised in their business,
• 3:13:18
  Speaker 1: which they did incontinently, and found him very willing and
• 3:13:21
  Speaker 1: fully resolved to assist them. And therefore was of opinion
• 3:13:24
  Speaker 1: that they should send some one of his company to
• 3:13:26
  Speaker 1: scout along and discover the country, to learn in what
• 3:13:29
  Speaker 1: condition and posture the enemy was, that they might take
• 3:13:32
  Speaker 1: counsel and proceed according to the present occasion. Jimnasts offered
• 3:13:37
  Speaker 1: himself to go, whereupon it was concluded that for his
• 3:13:41
  Speaker 1: safety and the better expedition, he should have with him
• 3:13:44
  Speaker 1: some one that knew the ways, avenues, turnings, windings and
• 3:13:48
  Speaker 1: rivers thereabout. Then away went he, in preling it the
• 3:13:52
  Speaker 1: equerry or gentlemen of Fogyon's horse, who scouted and espied
• 3:13:56
  Speaker 1: as narrowly as they could upon all quarters without any fear.
• 3:14:00
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, Gargantua took a little refreshment ate somewhat himself,
• 3:14:04
  Speaker 1: the like did those who were with him, and caused
• 3:14:07
  Speaker 1: to give to his mare of a picadine of oats,
• 3:14:09
  Speaker 1: that is threescore and fourteen quarters and three bushels. Gymnast
• 3:14:14
  Speaker 1: and his comrade rode so long that at last they
• 3:14:17
  Speaker 1: met with the enemy's forces, all scattered and out of order, plundering, stealing, robbing,
• 3:14:23
  Speaker 1: and pillaging all they could lay their hands on, and
• 3:14:26
  Speaker 1: as far off as they could perceive him, they ran
• 3:14:29
  Speaker 1: thronging upon the back of one another in all haste,
• 3:14:31
  Speaker 1: towards him, to unload him of his money and untruss
• 3:14:35
  Speaker 1: his portmantels. Then cried he out unto them, my masters,
• 3:14:39
  Speaker 1: I am a poor devil. I desire you to spare me.
• 3:14:43
  Speaker 1: I have yet one crown left. Come we must drink it,
• 3:14:47
  Speaker 1: for it is ore implodable, and this horse here shall
• 3:14:50
  Speaker 1: be sold to pay my welcome. Afterwards take me for
• 3:14:53
  Speaker 1: one of your own. For never yet was there any
• 3:14:55
  Speaker 1: man that knew better how to take lard, roast and dress,
• 3:14:59
  Speaker 1: yet by g to tear asunder and devour a hen
• 3:15:03
  Speaker 1: than I that am here, And for my proficiat I
• 3:15:05
  Speaker 1: drink to all good fellows. With that, he unscrewed his borracho,
• 3:15:10
  Speaker 1: which was a great Dutch leathern bottle, and without putting
• 3:15:13
  Speaker 1: in his nose, drank very honestly. The moroful rogues looked
• 3:15:17
  Speaker 1: upon him, opening their throats a foot wide and putting
• 3:15:20
  Speaker 1: out their tongues like greyhounds in hopes to drink after him.
• 3:15:23
  Speaker 1: But Captain Trypet, in the very nick of that their
• 3:15:26
  Speaker 1: expectation came running to him to see who it was.
• 3:15:30
  Speaker 1: To him, Gymnast offered his bottle, saying, hold, captain, drink
• 3:15:35
  Speaker 1: boldly and spare not. I have been thy taster. It
• 3:15:38
  Speaker 1: is wine of la fey manjou, what said Tripet, This
• 3:15:43
  Speaker 1: fellow gibes and flouts us. Who art thou? Said Tripet?
• 3:15:49
  Speaker 1: I am, said Gymnast, A poor devil, pauverdiable, ha said Tripet,
• 3:15:55
  Speaker 1: Seeing thou art a poor devil, it is reason that
• 3:15:58
  Speaker 1: thou shouldst be permitted to go whithersoever thou wilt. For
• 3:16:01
  Speaker 1: all poor devils pass everywhere without toll or tax. But
• 3:16:05
  Speaker 1: it is not the custom of poor devils to be
• 3:16:07
  Speaker 1: so well mounted. Therefore, sir devil, come down and let
• 3:16:11
  Speaker 1: me have your horse. And if he do not carry me, well,
• 3:16:14
  Speaker 1: you master devil, must do it. For I love a
• 3:16:17
  Speaker 1: life that such a devil as you should carry me away.
• 3:16:21
  Speaker 1: Chapter one dot x xxvidot how Jim missed very souply
• 3:16:26
  Speaker 1: and cunningly killed Captain Tripad and others of Picrickle's men.
• 3:16:31
  Speaker 1: When they heard these words, some amongst them began to
• 3:16:34
  Speaker 1: be afraid, and blessed themselves with both hands, thinking indeed
• 3:16:38
  Speaker 1: that he had been a devil disguised, insomuch that one
• 3:16:40
  Speaker 1: of them named good John, captain of the trained bands
• 3:16:44
  Speaker 1: of the country. Bunkins, took his psalter out of his
• 3:16:47
  Speaker 1: codpiece and cried out aloud Haggio's ho, Thias, if thou
• 3:16:52
  Speaker 1: be of God, speak, if thou be of the other spirit,
• 3:16:55
  Speaker 1: avoid hence and get thee going. Yet he went not away,
• 3:17:00
  Speaker 1: which words being heard by all the soldiers that were there,
• 3:17:03
  Speaker 1: divers of them, being a little inwardly terrified, departed from
• 3:17:07
  Speaker 1: the place. All this did Jimnast very well remark and consider,
• 3:17:11
  Speaker 1: and therefore, making as if he would have alighted from
• 3:17:14
  Speaker 1: off his horse, as he was poising himself on the
• 3:17:16
  Speaker 1: mounting side, he most nimbly, with his short sword by
• 3:17:20
  Speaker 1: his thigh, shifting his foot in the stirrup, performed the
• 3:17:23
  Speaker 1: stirrup leather feet, whereby, after the inclining of his body downwards,
• 3:17:28
  Speaker 1: he forthwith launched himself aloft in the air, and placed
• 3:17:31
  Speaker 1: both his feet together on the saddle, standing upright with
• 3:17:35
  Speaker 1: his back turned towards the horse's head. Now said he
• 3:17:39
  Speaker 1: my case goes backward. Then suddenly, in the same very
• 3:17:43
  Speaker 1: posture wherein he was, he fetched a gambol upon one foot,
• 3:17:47
  Speaker 1: and turning to the left hand, failed not to carry
• 3:17:50
  Speaker 1: his body perfectly round just into its former stance without
• 3:17:54
  Speaker 1: missing one jot Ha, said Tripet, I will not do
• 3:17:58
  Speaker 1: that at this time, and not without well, said gymnast
• 3:18:03
  Speaker 1: I have failed. I will undo this leap. Then, with
• 3:18:06
  Speaker 1: a marvelous strength and agility, turning towards the right hand,
• 3:18:10
  Speaker 1: he fetched another frisking gambol, as before which done, he
• 3:18:14
  Speaker 1: set his right hand thumb upon the hind bow of
• 3:18:16
  Speaker 1: the saddle, raised himself up and sprung in the air,
• 3:18:20
  Speaker 1: poising and upholding his whole body upon the muscle and
• 3:18:23
  Speaker 1: nerve of the said thumb, And so turned and whirled
• 3:18:26
  Speaker 1: himself about three times, at the fourth reversing his body
• 3:18:30
  Speaker 1: and overturning it upside down and fore side back, without
• 3:18:34
  Speaker 1: touching anything. He brought himself betwixt the horse's two ears,
• 3:18:38
  Speaker 1: springing with all his body into the air upon the
• 3:18:41
  Speaker 1: thumb of his left hand, and in that posture, turning
• 3:18:44
  Speaker 1: like a windmill, did most actively do that trick which
• 3:18:47
  Speaker 1: is called the miller's pass. After this, clapping his right
• 3:18:51
  Speaker 1: hand flat upon the middle of the saddle, he gave
• 3:18:54
  Speaker 1: himself such a jerking swing that he thereby seated himself
• 3:18:57
  Speaker 1: upon the crupper, after the manner of gentlewomen's sitting on horseback.
• 3:19:02
  Speaker 1: This done, he easily passed his right leg over the
• 3:19:04
  Speaker 1: saddle and placed himself like one that rides in croup.
• 3:19:08
  Speaker 1: But said he it were better for me to get
• 3:19:11
  Speaker 1: into the saddle than putting the thumbs of both hands
• 3:19:14
  Speaker 1: upon the crupper before him, And thereupon, leaning himself as
• 3:19:18
  Speaker 1: upon the only supporters of his body, he incontinently turned
• 3:19:21
  Speaker 1: heels overhead in the air, and straight found himself betwixt
• 3:19:24
  Speaker 1: the bow of the saddle in a good settlement. Then,
• 3:19:28
  Speaker 1: with a somersault, springing into the air again, he fell
• 3:19:31
  Speaker 1: to stand with both his feet close together upon the saddle,
• 3:19:34
  Speaker 1: and there made above a hundred frisks, turns and demipomats,
• 3:19:38
  Speaker 1: with his arms held out across, and in so doing
• 3:19:40
  Speaker 1: cried out aloud, I rage I rage, devils, I am
• 3:19:44
  Speaker 1: stark mad, devils, I am mad. Hold me devils, hold me, hold, devils,
• 3:19:51
  Speaker 1: hold hold. Whilst he was thus vaulting, the rogues, in
• 3:19:56
  Speaker 1: great astonishment, said to one another, by Cox's death, he
• 3:19:59
  Speaker 1: is a goblin or a devil. Thus disguised a Postmoligno
• 3:20:03
  Speaker 1: Leberanos Domini, and ran away in a full flight, as
• 3:20:07
  Speaker 1: if they had been routed, looking now and then behind them,
• 3:20:10
  Speaker 1: like a dog that carrieth away a goose wing in
• 3:20:12
  Speaker 1: his mouth. Then Gymnast, spying his advantage, alighted from his horse,
• 3:20:18
  Speaker 1: drew his sword and laid on great blows upon the
• 3:20:20
  Speaker 1: thick set and highest crested among them, and overthrew them
• 3:20:24
  Speaker 1: in great heaps, hurt, wounded and bruised, being resisted by nobody,
• 3:20:28
  Speaker 1: they thinking he had been a starved devil as well
• 3:20:31
  Speaker 1: in regard of his wonderful feats in vaulting which they
• 3:20:35
  Speaker 1: had seen. As for the talk Trypet had with him,
• 3:20:38
  Speaker 1: calling him poor devil, only Trypet would have traitorously cleft
• 3:20:42
  Speaker 1: his head with his horseman's sword or lance night falchon.
• 3:20:45
  Speaker 1: But he was well armed, and felt nothing of the
• 3:20:48
  Speaker 1: blow but the weight of the stroke. Whereupon, turning suddenly about,
• 3:20:52
  Speaker 1: he gave Trypet a home thrust, and upon the back
• 3:20:55
  Speaker 1: of that whilst he was about to ward his head
• 3:20:57
  Speaker 1: from a slash, he ran him in at the rest
• 3:21:00
  Speaker 1: with a hit, which at once cut his stomach, the
• 3:21:02
  Speaker 1: fifth gut, called the colon, and the half of his liver,
• 3:21:05
  Speaker 1: wherewith he fell to the ground, and in falling gushed
• 3:21:09
  Speaker 1: forth above four pottles of pottage, and his soul mingled
• 3:21:12
  Speaker 1: with the pottage. This done, gymnast withdrew himself very wisely,
• 3:21:17
  Speaker 1: considering that a case of great adventure and hazard should
• 3:21:20
  Speaker 1: not be pursued unto its utmost period, and that it
• 3:21:23
  Speaker 1: becomes all cavaliers modestly to use their good fortune without
• 3:21:28
  Speaker 1: troubling or stretching it too far. Wherefore, getting to horse,
• 3:21:32
  Speaker 1: he gave him the spur, taking the right way unto Vogyon,
• 3:21:36
  Speaker 1: and prelinguent with him. Chapter one dot x x x
• 3:21:40
  Speaker 1: v idot How Gargantua demolished the castle at the Ford
• 3:21:43
  Speaker 1: of Vide, and how they passed the ford. How Gargantua
• 3:21:47
  Speaker 1: passed the ford one dash thirty six dash zero seventy six.
• 3:21:51
  Speaker 1: As soon as he came he related the estate and
• 3:21:53
  Speaker 1: condition wherein they had found the enemy, and the stratagem
• 3:21:56
  Speaker 1: which he alone had used against all their multitude, affirming
• 3:21:59
  Speaker 1: them they were but rascally rogues, plunderers, thieves and robbers,
• 3:22:04
  Speaker 1: ignorant of all military discipline, and that they might boldly
• 3:22:08
  Speaker 1: set forward unto the field, it being an easy matter
• 3:22:11
  Speaker 1: to fell and strike them down like beasts. Then Garganto
• 3:22:15
  Speaker 1: mounted his great mare, accompanied as we have said before,
• 3:22:19
  Speaker 1: and finding in his way a high and great tree,
• 3:22:21
  Speaker 1: which commonly was called by the name of Saint Martin's tree,
• 3:22:24
  Speaker 1: because heretofore Saint Martin planted a pilgrim's staff there, which
• 3:22:28
  Speaker 1: in tract of time grew to that height and greatness, said,
• 3:22:31
  Speaker 1: this is that which I lacked. This tree shall serve
• 3:22:35
  Speaker 1: me both for a staff and lance. With that he
• 3:22:38
  Speaker 1: pulled it up, easily, plucked off the boughs, and trimmed
• 3:22:41
  Speaker 1: it at his pleasure. In the meantime, his mare pissed
• 3:22:45
  Speaker 1: to ease her belly, but it was in such abundance
• 3:22:47
  Speaker 1: that it did overflow the country seven leagues, and all
• 3:22:50
  Speaker 1: the piss of that urinal flood ran glib away towards
• 3:22:53
  Speaker 1: the fort of Vide, wherewith the water was so swollen
• 3:22:56
  Speaker 1: that all the forces the enemy had there were with
• 3:22:58
  Speaker 1: great horror drowned, except some who had taken the way
• 3:23:02
  Speaker 1: on the left hand towards the hills. Gargantua, being come
• 3:23:06
  Speaker 1: to the place of the wood of Vide, was informed
• 3:23:08
  Speaker 1: by Yudemon that there was some remainder of the enemy
• 3:23:11
  Speaker 1: within the castle, which to know. Gargantua cried out as
• 3:23:14
  Speaker 1: loud as he was able, are you there? Or are
• 3:23:16
  Speaker 1: you not there? If you be there, be there no more.
• 3:23:20
  Speaker 1: And if you are not there, I have no more
• 3:23:22
  Speaker 1: to say. But a ruffian gunner, whose charge was to
• 3:23:26
  Speaker 1: attend the portcullis over the gate, let fly a cannon
• 3:23:29
  Speaker 1: ball at him, and hit him with that shot most
• 3:23:31
  Speaker 1: furiously on the right temple of his head. Yet did
• 3:23:35
  Speaker 1: him no more hurt than if he had but cast
• 3:23:37
  Speaker 1: a prune or colonel of a wine grape at him.
• 3:23:40
  Speaker 1: What is this, said Gargantua, Do you throw at us
• 3:23:44
  Speaker 1: grape colonels here the vintage shall cost you dear, thinking
• 3:23:48
  Speaker 1: indeed that the bullet had been the colonel of a
• 3:23:50
  Speaker 1: grape or raisin colonel. Those who were within the castle,
• 3:23:55
  Speaker 1: being till then busy at the pillage, when they heard
• 3:23:57
  Speaker 1: this noise, ran to the towers and fortresses, from whence
• 3:24:00
  Speaker 1: they shot at him above nine thousand and five and
• 3:24:03
  Speaker 1: twenty falcon shot and arquebus ades, aiming all at his head.
• 3:24:06
  Speaker 1: And so thick did they shoot at him, that he
• 3:24:08
  Speaker 1: cried out, Ponocrates, my friend, these flies here are like
• 3:24:13
  Speaker 1: to put out mine eyes. Give me a branch of
• 3:24:15
  Speaker 1: those willow trees to drive them away. Thinking that the
• 3:24:18
  Speaker 1: bullets and stones shot out of the great ordnance had
• 3:24:21
  Speaker 1: been but doneflies, Poncrates looked and saw that there were
• 3:24:25
  Speaker 1: no other flies but great shot which they had shot
• 3:24:27
  Speaker 1: from the castle. Then was it that he rushed with
• 3:24:31
  Speaker 1: his great tree against the castle, and with mighty blows
• 3:24:34
  Speaker 1: overthrow both towers and fortresses, and laid all level with
• 3:24:37
  Speaker 1: the ground, by which means all that were within were
• 3:24:40
  Speaker 1: slain and broken in pieces. Going from thence they came
• 3:24:44
  Speaker 1: to the bridge at the mill, where they found all
• 3:24:46
  Speaker 1: the ford covered with dead bodies, so thick that they
• 3:24:49
  Speaker 1: had choked up the mill and stopped the current of
• 3:24:51
  Speaker 1: its water. And these were those that were destroyed in
• 3:24:54
  Speaker 1: the urinal deluge of the mare. There they were at
• 3:24:57
  Speaker 1: a stand consulting how they might pass without hindrance by
• 3:25:00
  Speaker 1: these dead carcasses. But Jymnasts said, if the devils have
• 3:25:05
  Speaker 1: passed there. I will pass well enough. The devils have
• 3:25:08
  Speaker 1: passed there, said Yadaemon, to carry away the damned souls
• 3:25:13
  Speaker 1: by Saint Trinian, said Poncrates. Then by necessary consequence he
• 3:25:18
  Speaker 1: shall pass there. Yes, yes, said Gymnasts, or I shall
• 3:25:23
  Speaker 1: stick in the way. Then, setting spurs to his horse,
• 3:25:26
  Speaker 1: he passed through freely, his horse, not fearing nor being
• 3:25:29
  Speaker 1: anything affrighted at the sight of the dead bodies, for
• 3:25:32
  Speaker 1: he had accustomed him, according to the doctrine of alien,
• 3:25:35
  Speaker 1: not to fear armor nor the carcasses of dead men,
• 3:25:39
  Speaker 1: and that not by killing men, as Diomedes did the Thracians,
• 3:25:42
  Speaker 1: or as Ulysses did in throwing the corpses of his
• 3:25:45
  Speaker 1: enemies at his horses feet, as Homer seth, but by
• 3:25:48
  Speaker 1: putting a jacullant amongst his hay and making him go
• 3:25:51
  Speaker 1: over it ordinarily when he gave him his oaths. The
• 3:25:54
  Speaker 1: other three followed him very close, except Yudaemon, only whose horses,
• 3:25:59
  Speaker 1: forwight or far forefoot sank up to the knee in
• 3:26:01
  Speaker 1: the paunch of a great fat chuff, who lay there
• 3:26:03
  Speaker 1: upon his back drowned, and could not get it out.
• 3:26:07
  Speaker 1: There was he pestered until Gargantua, with the end of
• 3:26:10
  Speaker 1: his staff, thrust down the rest of the villain's tripes
• 3:26:13
  Speaker 1: into the water, whilst the horse pulled out his foot,
• 3:26:16
  Speaker 1: And which is a wonderful thing in hypiatry, the set
• 3:26:19
  Speaker 1: horse was thoroughly cured of a ring bone which he
• 3:26:21
  Speaker 1: had in that foot, by this touch of the burst
• 3:26:23
  Speaker 1: guts of that great luby Chapter one dot x VII dot.
• 3:26:28
  Speaker 1: How Gargantua, in combing his head, made the great cannon
• 3:26:31
  Speaker 1: balls fall out of his hair. Being come out of
• 3:26:35
  Speaker 1: the river of Vied, they came very shortly after to
• 3:26:37
  Speaker 1: Grangousir's castle, who waited for them with great longing. At
• 3:26:42
  Speaker 1: their coming, they were entertained with many coanjies, and cherished
• 3:26:45
  Speaker 1: with embraces. Never was seen a more joyful company. For
• 3:26:50
  Speaker 1: Supplementum supplementing Chronicorum said that Gargamel died there with joy.
• 3:26:54
  Speaker 1: For my part, truly I cannot tell, neither do I
• 3:26:57
  Speaker 1: care very much for her, nor for anybody else. The
• 3:27:01
  Speaker 1: truth was that Gargantua, in shifting his clothes and combing
• 3:27:05
  Speaker 1: his head with a comb which was nine hundred foot long,
• 3:27:08
  Speaker 1: of the Jewish cane measure, and whereof the teeth were
• 3:27:11
  Speaker 1: great tusks of elephants, whole and entire. He made fall
• 3:27:14
  Speaker 1: at every rake above seven balls of bullets at a
• 3:27:17
  Speaker 1: dozen the ball that stuck in his hair at the
• 3:27:20
  Speaker 1: raising of the castle of the wood of Vide, which
• 3:27:24
  Speaker 1: his father granged this here, seeing thought they had been lice,
• 3:27:27
  Speaker 1: and said unto him, what my dear son hast thou
• 3:27:30
  Speaker 1: brought us this far, some short winged hawks of the
• 3:27:32
  Speaker 1: college of Montague. I did not mean that thou shouldst
• 3:27:36
  Speaker 1: reside there, Then answered Ponocrates, my sovereign lord, think not
• 3:27:41
  Speaker 1: that I have placed him in that lousy college which
• 3:27:43
  Speaker 1: they call Montague. I had rather have put him amongst
• 3:27:45
  Speaker 1: the grave diggers of sanct Innocent. So enormous is the
• 3:27:48
  Speaker 1: cruelty and villainy that I have known there, For the
• 3:27:51
  Speaker 1: galley slaves are far better used amongst the moors and tartars,
• 3:27:56
  Speaker 1: the murderers in the criminal dungeons. Yea, the very dogs
• 3:27:59
  Speaker 1: in your house than are the poor wretched students in
• 3:28:02
  Speaker 1: the aforesaid college. And if I were king of Paris,
• 3:28:06
  Speaker 1: the devil take me if I would not set it
• 3:28:08
  Speaker 1: on fire and burn both principal and regions. For suffering
• 3:28:11
  Speaker 1: this inhumanity to be exercised before their eyes. Then, taking
• 3:28:16
  Speaker 1: up one of these bullets, he said, these are cannon
• 3:28:19
  Speaker 1: shot which your son Gargantua hath lately received by the
• 3:28:22
  Speaker 1: treachery of your enemies, as he was passing before the
• 3:28:25
  Speaker 1: wood of Vide. But they have been so rewarded that
• 3:28:29
  Speaker 1: they are all destroyed in the ruin of the castle,
• 3:28:31
  Speaker 1: as were the Phaliestons by the policy of Samson, and
• 3:28:34
  Speaker 1: those whom the Tower of Silohim slew. As it is
• 3:28:37
  Speaker 1: written in the thirteenth of Luke. My opinion is that
• 3:28:41
  Speaker 1: we pursue them whilst the luck is on our side.
• 3:28:44
  Speaker 1: For occasion hath all her hair on her forehead. When
• 3:28:47
  Speaker 1: she is past, you may not recall her. She hath
• 3:28:50
  Speaker 1: no tuft whereby you can lay hold on her, for
• 3:28:52
  Speaker 1: she is bald in the hind part of her head,
• 3:28:55
  Speaker 1: and never returneth again. Truly, said Grangesir, it shall not
• 3:28:59
  Speaker 1: be at this time, for I will make you a
• 3:29:01
  Speaker 1: feast this night, and bid you welcome. This said, They
• 3:29:05
  Speaker 1: made ready supper, and of extraordinary besides his daily fare,
• 3:29:10
  Speaker 1: were roasted sixteen oxen, three heifers, two and thirty calves,
• 3:29:14
  Speaker 1: three score and three fat kids, for score, and fifteen weathers,
• 3:29:19
  Speaker 1: three hundred farow pigs or sheets soused in sweet wine
• 3:29:23
  Speaker 1: or must eleven score partridges, seven hundred snipes and woodcocks,
• 3:29:27
  Speaker 1: four hundred loudon and cornwall capons, six thousand pullets and
• 3:29:31
  Speaker 1: as many pigeons, six hundred crammed hens, fourteen hundred leverets
• 3:29:35
  Speaker 1: or young hares and rabbits, three hundred and three buzzards,
• 3:29:40
  Speaker 1: and one thousand and seven hundred cockrels for venison. They
• 3:29:44
  Speaker 1: could not so suddenly come by it only eleven wild
• 3:29:47
  Speaker 1: boars which the Abbot of Terpenay sent, and eighteen fallow
• 3:29:51
  Speaker 1: deer which the Lord of Grammont bestowed, together with seven
• 3:29:54
  Speaker 1: score pheasants which were sent by the Lord of Esses,
• 3:29:57
  Speaker 1: and some dozens of queists, cushats, ring doves and wood culvers,
• 3:30:02
  Speaker 1: river fowl, teals and hotels, bitterns, corts, plovers, francolins, briganders, tyrosuns,
• 3:30:10
  Speaker 1: young lapwings, tame ducks, chevellers, woodlanders, herons, moor hens, creoles, storks,
• 3:30:17
  Speaker 1: canopediers oranges, flamins which are phenicopters or crimson winged sea fowls, teregoles, turkeys, aarbons, coots,
• 3:30:26
  Speaker 1: sole and geese, curlewstertermigants and water wagtails, with a great
• 3:30:32
  Speaker 1: deal of cream, curds and fresh cheese, and store of soup,
• 3:30:36
  Speaker 1: pottages and brewis with great variety. Without doubt, there was
• 3:30:41
  Speaker 1: meat enough, and it was handsomely dressed by snap sauce,
• 3:30:44
  Speaker 1: hotchpot and bravedges, grangesar's cooks, jenkin, trudge, apace, and clean
• 3:30:49
  Speaker 1: glass were very careful to fill them drink. Chapter one
• 3:30:53
  Speaker 1: dot x x x v I I dot how Gargantua
• 3:30:57
  Speaker 1: did eat up six pilgrims in a salad. The story
• 3:31:00
  Speaker 1: requireth that we relate that which happened unto six pilgrims
• 3:31:03
  Speaker 1: who came from Sebastian near to Nance, and who, for
• 3:31:06
  Speaker 1: shelter that night, being afraid of the enemy, had hid
• 3:31:09
  Speaker 1: themselves in the garden upon the chichling peas, among the
• 3:31:13
  Speaker 1: cabbages and lettuces. Gargantua, finding himself somewhat dry, asked whether
• 3:31:18
  Speaker 1: they could get any lettuce to make him a salad, And,
• 3:31:21
  Speaker 1: hearing that there were the greatest and fairest in the country,
• 3:31:24
  Speaker 1: for they were as great as plum trees or as
• 3:31:26
  Speaker 1: walnut trees, he would go thither himself, and brought thence
• 3:31:29
  Speaker 1: in his hand what he thought good, and withal carried
• 3:31:33
  Speaker 1: away the six pilgrims, who were in so great fear
• 3:31:36
  Speaker 1: that they did not dare to speak nor cough. Washing
• 3:31:39
  Speaker 1: them Therefore, first at the fountain, the pilgrim said one
• 3:31:43
  Speaker 1: to another softly, what shall we do? We are almost
• 3:31:46
  Speaker 1: drowned here amongst these lettuce? Shall we speak? But if
• 3:31:50
  Speaker 1: we speak he will kill us for spies. And as
• 3:31:54
  Speaker 1: they were thus deliberating what to do, Gargantua put them
• 3:31:58
  Speaker 1: with the lettuce into a platter of the house, as
• 3:32:00
  Speaker 1: large as the huge tun of the White friars of
• 3:32:02
  Speaker 1: the Cistercian order, which done with oil, vinegar and salt.
• 3:32:07
  Speaker 1: He ate them up to refresh himself a little before supper,
• 3:32:10
  Speaker 1: and had already swallowed up five of the pilgrims, the
• 3:32:14
  Speaker 1: sixth being in the platter totally hit under a lettuce,
• 3:32:17
  Speaker 1: except his bordener's staff that appeared, and nothing else which
• 3:32:21
  Speaker 1: grangis here seeing, said to Gargantua, I think that as
• 3:32:25
  Speaker 1: the horn of a shel snail, do not eat it?
• 3:32:28
  Speaker 1: Why not, said Gargantua, they are good all this month,
• 3:32:32
  Speaker 1: which he no sooner said but drawing up the staff
• 3:32:36
  Speaker 1: and therewith taking up the pilgrim, he ate him very
• 3:32:38
  Speaker 1: well than drank a terrible draft of excellent white wine.
• 3:32:43
  Speaker 1: The pilgrims, thus devoured, made shift to save themselves as
• 3:32:46
  Speaker 1: well as they could by withdrawing their bodies out of
• 3:32:49
  Speaker 1: the reach of the grinders of his teeth, but could
• 3:32:51
  Speaker 1: not escape from thinking they had been put in the
• 3:32:53
  Speaker 1: lowest dungeon of a prison, And when Gargantua with the
• 3:32:57
  Speaker 1: great draft, they thought to have been drowned in his mouth,
• 3:33:00
  Speaker 1: and the flood of wine had almost carried them away
• 3:33:03
  Speaker 1: into the gulf of his stomach. Nevertheless, skipping with their boardons,
• 3:33:08
  Speaker 1: as Saint Michael's palmers used to do, they sheltered themselves
• 3:33:11
  Speaker 1: from the danger of that inundation under the banks of
• 3:33:13
  Speaker 1: his teeth. But one of them, by chance, groping or
• 3:33:17
  Speaker 1: sounding the country with his staff to try whether they
• 3:33:20
  Speaker 1: were in safety or no, struck hard against the cleft
• 3:33:23
  Speaker 1: of a hollow tooth and hit the mandibulary sinew or
• 3:33:26
  Speaker 1: nerve of the jaw, which put Gargantua to very great pain,
• 3:33:29
  Speaker 1: so that he began to cry for the rage that
• 3:33:32
  Speaker 1: he felt to ease himself Therefore, of his smarting ache,
• 3:33:36
  Speaker 1: he called for his toothpicker, and rubbing towards a young
• 3:33:38
  Speaker 1: walnut tree where they lay skulking. Unnestled you, my gentlemen, pilgrims,
• 3:33:44
  Speaker 1: for he caught one by the legs, another by the scrip,
• 3:33:47
  Speaker 1: another by the pocket, another by the scarf, another by
• 3:33:50
  Speaker 1: the band of the breeches. And the poor fellow that
• 3:33:53
  Speaker 1: had hurt him with the bourdon him he hooked to
• 3:33:55
  Speaker 1: him by the codpiece, which snatch nevertheless did him a
• 3:33:58
  Speaker 1: great deal of good, for it pierced unto him a
• 3:34:00
  Speaker 1: pockey botch he had in the groin, which grievously tormented
• 3:34:04
  Speaker 1: him ever since they were past enceeness. The Pilgrims thus dislodged,
• 3:34:10
  Speaker 1: ran away athwart the plain a pretty fast pace, and
• 3:34:13
  Speaker 1: the pain ceased even just at the time when by
• 3:34:15
  Speaker 1: Yademon he was called to supper, for all was ready.
• 3:34:19
  Speaker 1: I will go, then, said he, and piss away my misfortune,
• 3:34:23
  Speaker 1: which he did do in such a copious measure that
• 3:34:25
  Speaker 1: the urine taking away the feet from the pilgrims. They
• 3:34:28
  Speaker 1: were carried along with the stream unto the bank of
• 3:34:30
  Speaker 1: a tuft of trees, upon which, as soon as they
• 3:34:34
  Speaker 1: had taken footing, and that for their self preservation they
• 3:34:37
  Speaker 1: had run a little out of the road. They on
• 3:34:39
  Speaker 1: a sudden fell all six except for Niller, into a
• 3:34:42
  Speaker 1: trap that had been made to take wolves by a train,
• 3:34:45
  Speaker 1: out of which nevertheless they escaped by the industry of
• 3:34:48
  Speaker 1: the said Forniller, who broke all the snares and ropes.
• 3:34:52
  Speaker 1: Being gone from thence, they lay all the rest of
• 3:34:55
  Speaker 1: that night in a lodge near unto Cudre, where they
• 3:34:58
  Speaker 1: were comforted in their miseries by the gracious words of
• 3:35:00
  Speaker 1: one of their company called Suerdego, who showed them that
• 3:35:04
  Speaker 1: this adventure had been foretold by the prophet David Psalm.

  Speaker 1: chapter one dot x x xa ex stat how the
• 3:36:02
  Speaker 1: monk was feasted by Gargantua, and of the jovial discourse
• 3:36:05
  Speaker 1: they had at supper. When Gargantua was set down at table,
• 3:36:10
  Speaker 1: after all of them had somewhat stayed their stomachs by
• 3:36:12
  Speaker 1: a snatch or two of the first bits eaten heartily,
• 3:36:15
  Speaker 1: Grangesre began to relate the source and cause of the
• 3:36:18
  Speaker 1: war raised between him and Piccrickal, and came to tell
• 3:36:21
  Speaker 1: how Friar John of the Funnels had triumphed at the
• 3:36:24
  Speaker 1: defense of the close of the abbey, and extalled him
• 3:36:27
  Speaker 1: for his valor above Camillus, Scipio, Pompey, Caesar, and Pemistocles.
• 3:36:33
  Speaker 1: Then Gargantua desired that he might be presently sent for
• 3:36:37
  Speaker 1: to the end that with him they might consult of
• 3:36:39
  Speaker 1: what was to be done. Whereupon, by a joint consent,
• 3:36:43
  Speaker 1: his steward went for him and brought him along merrily
• 3:36:46
  Speaker 1: with his staff of the cross upon Grangissere's mule. When
• 3:36:50
  Speaker 1: he was come, A thousand huggings, a thousand embracements, a
• 3:36:54
  Speaker 1: thousand good days were given. Ha Friar John, my friend,
• 3:36:58
  Speaker 1: Friar John, my brave cousin, Friar John, from the devil.
• 3:37:03
  Speaker 1: Let me clip thee my heart about the neck to
• 3:37:06
  Speaker 1: me an armful. I must grip thee my baloch, till
• 3:37:10
  Speaker 1: thy back crack with it. Come, my God, let me
• 3:37:13
  Speaker 1: call thee till I kill thee. And Friar John, the
• 3:37:17
  Speaker 1: gladdest man in the world never was man made welcomer,
• 3:37:20
  Speaker 1: never was any more courteously and graciously received than Friar John. Come, Come,
• 3:37:26
  Speaker 1: said Gargantua, a stool here close by me. At this end,
• 3:37:31
  Speaker 1: I am content, said the monk, seeing you will have it.
• 3:37:34
  Speaker 1: So some water, page, Phil, my boy Phil, it is
• 3:37:39
  Speaker 1: to refresh my liver. Give me some child to gargle
• 3:37:43
  Speaker 1: my throat withal deposit a kappa, said Gymnast. Let us
• 3:37:47
  Speaker 1: pull off this frock. Ho by g, gentlemen, said the monk.
• 3:37:52
  Speaker 1: There is a chapter in Statutus ordinis which opposeth my
• 3:37:56
  Speaker 1: laying of it down. Pish, said Jim, a fig for
• 3:38:01
  Speaker 1: your chapter. This frock breaks both your shoulders. Put it off,
• 3:38:06
  Speaker 1: my friend, said the monk. Let me alone with it,
• 3:38:09
  Speaker 1: for by g I'll drink. The better that it is on,
• 3:38:13
  Speaker 1: it makes all my body jockund If I should lay
• 3:38:16
  Speaker 1: it aside, the waggish pages would cut to themselves garters
• 3:38:20
  Speaker 1: out of it, as I was once served at Calaim's,
• 3:38:23
  Speaker 1: And which is worse, I shall lose my appetite. But
• 3:38:27
  Speaker 1: if in this habit I sit down at table, I
• 3:38:29
  Speaker 1: will drink by ge, both to thee and to thy horse,
• 3:38:33
  Speaker 1: and so courage frolic, God save the company I have
• 3:38:37
  Speaker 1: already supped. Yet will I eat? Never a whit the
• 3:38:40
  Speaker 1: less for that? For I have a paved stomach, as
• 3:38:43
  Speaker 1: hollow as a but of Malvoisie or Saint Benedict's boot,
• 3:38:46
  Speaker 1: but an always open, like a lawyer's pouch of all fishes.
• 3:38:50
  Speaker 1: But the tene take the wing of a partridge or
• 3:38:52
  Speaker 1: the thigh of a nune. Doth not he die like
• 3:38:55
  Speaker 1: a good fellow that dies with a stiff catzo our
• 3:38:59
  Speaker 1: prior love exceedingly the white of a capon In that,
• 3:39:03
  Speaker 1: said Gymnast, he doth not resemble the foxes, for of
• 3:39:07
  Speaker 1: the capons, hens and pullets which they carry away, they
• 3:39:10
  Speaker 1: never eat the white. Why, said the monk, Because, said Gymnast,
• 3:39:17
  Speaker 1: they have no cooks to dress them, and if they
• 3:39:20
  Speaker 1: be not competently made ready, they remain red and not white,
• 3:39:23
  Speaker 1: the redness of meats being a token that they have
• 3:39:26
  Speaker 1: not got enough of the fire, whether by boiling, roasting,
• 3:39:29
  Speaker 1: or otherwise, except the shrimps, lobsters, crabs, and crayfishes, which
• 3:39:34
  Speaker 1: are cardinalized with boiling by God's feast gazers, said the monk,
• 3:39:39
  Speaker 1: the porter of our abbey, then hath not his head
• 3:39:41
  Speaker 1: well boiled? For his eyes are as red as a
• 3:39:44
  Speaker 1: mazer made of an alder tree. The thigh of this
• 3:39:47
  Speaker 1: leveret is good for those that have the gout. To
• 3:39:50
  Speaker 1: the purpose of the truel, what is the reason that
• 3:39:53
  Speaker 1: the thighs of a gentlewoman are always fresh and cool?
• 3:39:57
  Speaker 1: This problem, said Gargantua, is neither an Aristotle in Alexander Aphrodisius,
• 3:40:02
  Speaker 1: nor in Plutarch. There are three causes, said the Monk,
• 3:40:07
  Speaker 1: by which that place is naturally refreshed. Primo, because the
• 3:40:11
  Speaker 1: water runs all along by it. Secundo because it is
• 3:40:15
  Speaker 1: a shady place, obscure and dark, upon which the sun
• 3:40:19
  Speaker 1: never shines. And thirdly, because it is continually flabbled, blown
• 3:40:24
  Speaker 1: upon and aired by the north winds of the whole arstic,
• 3:40:27
  Speaker 1: the fan of the smock, and flip flap of the codpiece.
• 3:40:31
  Speaker 1: And lusty, my lads, some bowsing liquor page. So crack, crack, crack. Oh,
• 3:40:41
  Speaker 1: how good is God that gives us of this excellent juice?
• 3:40:46
  Speaker 1: I call him to witness. If I had been in
• 3:40:48
  Speaker 1: the time of Jesus Christ, I would have kept him
• 3:40:50
  Speaker 1: from being taken by the Jews in the garden of Olivet.
• 3:40:53
  Speaker 1: And the devil fail me if I should have failed
• 3:40:56
  Speaker 1: to cut off the hands of these gentlemen apostles, who
• 3:40:58
  Speaker 1: ran away so base after they had well supped and
• 3:41:01
  Speaker 1: left their good master in the lurch. I hate that
• 3:41:05
  Speaker 1: man worse than poison, that offers to run away when
• 3:41:08
  Speaker 1: he should fight and lay stoutly about him. Oh that
• 3:41:11
  Speaker 1: I were but king of France for fourscore or a
• 3:41:13
  Speaker 1: hundred years by g I should whip like curtail dogs
• 3:41:18
  Speaker 1: these runaways of Pavia a plague take them. Why did
• 3:41:22
  Speaker 1: they not choose rather to die there than to leave
• 3:41:24
  Speaker 1: their good prince in that pinch and necessity? Is it
• 3:41:27
  Speaker 1: not better and more honorable to perish in fighting valiantly
• 3:41:30
  Speaker 1: than to live in disgrace by a cowardly running away.
• 3:41:34
  Speaker 1: We are like to eat no great store of goslings
• 3:41:36
  Speaker 1: this year. Therefore, friend, reach me some of that roasted
• 3:41:40
  Speaker 1: pig there? Diavolo, is there no more? Must no more?
• 3:41:45
  Speaker 1: Sweet wine? German navit radix jesse j e rennie ma
• 3:41:50
  Speaker 1: vai j e Mirzdasoif I renounce my life, I rage
• 3:41:54
  Speaker 1: for thirst. This wine is none of the worst. What
• 3:41:58
  Speaker 1: wine drink you at Paris? I give myself to the
• 3:42:02
  Speaker 1: devil if I did not once keep open house at
• 3:42:05
  Speaker 1: Paris for all comers six months together. Do you know
• 3:42:08
  Speaker 1: Friar Claude of the high Kilderkens, Oh, the good fellow
• 3:42:12
  Speaker 1: that he is, But I do not know what fly
• 3:42:15
  Speaker 1: hath stung him of late? He has become so hard
• 3:42:18
  Speaker 1: a student. For my part, I study not at all
• 3:42:23
  Speaker 1: in our abbey. We never study for fear of the monks,
• 3:42:25
  Speaker 1: which disease and horses is called the morning in the Chine.
• 3:42:29
  Speaker 1: Our late abbot was wont to say that it is
• 3:42:31
  Speaker 1: a monstrous thing to see a learned monk by g master,
• 3:42:36
  Speaker 1: my friend Magus Magno's Clerico's non sent Maggus Magno sapiens.
• 3:42:41
  Speaker 1: You never saw so many hairs as there are this year.
• 3:42:45
  Speaker 1: I could not anywhere come by a goshawk nor tassel
• 3:42:48
  Speaker 1: of falcon. My Lord Bellineir promised me a lanor, but
• 3:42:52
  Speaker 1: he wrote to me not long ago that he was
• 3:42:54
  Speaker 1: become Percy. The partridges will so multiply henceforth that they
• 3:42:59
  Speaker 1: will go near to eat up our ears. I take
• 3:43:02
  Speaker 1: no delight in the stocking horse, for I catch such
• 3:43:05
  Speaker 1: cold that I am like to founder myself at that sport.
• 3:43:08
  Speaker 1: If I do not run, toil, travel and trot about,
• 3:43:12
  Speaker 1: I am not well at ease. True it is that
• 3:43:15
  Speaker 1: in leaping over the hedges and bushes, my frock leaves
• 3:43:18
  Speaker 1: always some of its will behind it. I have recovered
• 3:43:21
  Speaker 1: a dainty greyhound. I give him to the devil, if
• 3:43:24
  Speaker 1: he suffer a hare to escape him. A groom was
• 3:43:27
  Speaker 1: leading him to my Lord hunt Little, and I robbed
• 3:43:29
  Speaker 1: him of him, did I ill no, friar John, said Gymnast. No,
• 3:43:36
  Speaker 1: by all the devils that are no, so said the monk,
• 3:43:40
  Speaker 1: Do I attest these same devils so long as they last?
• 3:43:43
  Speaker 1: Or rather, virtue of g What could that gouty limpert
• 3:43:47
  Speaker 1: have done with so fine a dog? By the body
• 3:43:51
  Speaker 1: of g he is better pleased when one presents him
• 3:43:53
  Speaker 1: with a good yoke of oxen. How now, said Poncrates,
• 3:43:58
  Speaker 1: you swear, friar John, It is only, said the monk,
• 3:44:02
  Speaker 1: but to grace and adorn my speech. They are colors
• 3:44:06
  Speaker 1: of a Sicyonian rhetoric, Chapter one dot Exelda. Why monks
• 3:44:11
  Speaker 1: are the outcasts of the world, and wherefore some have
• 3:44:14
  Speaker 1: bigger noses than others? By the faith of a Christian,
• 3:44:18
  Speaker 1: said Yudaemon. I do wonderfully dote and enter in a
• 3:44:21
  Speaker 1: great ecstasy when I consider the honesty in good fellowship
• 3:44:24
  Speaker 1: of this monk, for he makes us hear all merry.
• 3:44:27
  Speaker 1: How is it then that they exclude the monks from
• 3:44:30
  Speaker 1: all good companies, calling them feast troublers, marrs of mirth,
• 3:44:34
  Speaker 1: and disturbers of all civil conversation. As the bees drive
• 3:44:38
  Speaker 1: away the drones from their hives, ignavum fucos Piicus, said
• 3:44:42
  Speaker 1: marrow a precepibus arkent he run to, answered Gargantua, there
• 3:44:48
  Speaker 1: is nothing so true as that the frock and cowl
• 3:44:51
  Speaker 1: draw unto itself the operabres, injuries, and maledictions of the world,
• 3:44:55
  Speaker 1: just as the wind called Seesius attracts the clouds. The
• 3:45:00
  Speaker 1: peremptory reason is because they eat the order and excrements
• 3:45:03
  Speaker 1: of the world, that is to say, the sins of
• 3:45:05
  Speaker 1: the people. And like dungctuers and excrementitious eaters, they are
• 3:45:09
  Speaker 1: cast into the privies and ceasessive places, that is, the
• 3:45:13
  Speaker 1: convents and abbeys, separated from political conversation, as the jakes
• 3:45:17
  Speaker 1: and retreats of a house are. But if you conceive
• 3:45:21
  Speaker 1: how an ape in a family is always mocked and
• 3:45:23
  Speaker 1: provokingly incensed, he shall easily apprehend how monks are shunned
• 3:45:27
  Speaker 1: of all men, both young and old. The ape keeps
• 3:45:31
  Speaker 1: not the house as a dog. Doth he draws not
• 3:45:33
  Speaker 1: in the plow as the ox. He yields neither milk
• 3:45:36
  Speaker 1: nor wool as the sheep. He carrieth no burden as
• 3:45:39
  Speaker 1: a horse. Doth that which he doth is only to
• 3:45:43
  Speaker 1: CON's kite, spoil and defile all, which is the cause
• 3:45:47
  Speaker 1: wherefore he hath of all men mocks, frumperies and bastonadoes
• 3:45:52
  Speaker 1: after the same manner A monk, I mean those lither
• 3:45:55
  Speaker 1: idle lazy monks doth not labor and work as do
• 3:45:58
  Speaker 1: the peasant and artificer. Doth not ward and defend the
• 3:46:01
  Speaker 1: country as doth the man of war. Cureth not the
• 3:46:04
  Speaker 1: sick and diseased, as the physician doth doth neither preach
• 3:46:08
  Speaker 1: nor teach, as do the evangelical doctors and schoolmasters. Doth
• 3:46:12
  Speaker 1: not import commodities and things necessary for the commonwealth as
• 3:46:16
  Speaker 1: the merchant doth. Therefore is it that by end of
• 3:46:20
  Speaker 1: all men they are hooted at, hated, and abhorred. Yea,
• 3:46:24
  Speaker 1: but said Grangduesir, they pray the God for us, nothing less,
• 3:46:29
  Speaker 1: answered Gargantua. True it is that with a tingled, tangled
• 3:46:34
  Speaker 1: jangling of bells they trouble and disquiet all their neighbors
• 3:46:37
  Speaker 1: about them. Right, said the monk, A mass a maten
• 3:46:41
  Speaker 1: a vesper well wrung are half said they mumble out
• 3:46:45
  Speaker 1: great store of legends and psalms by them not at
• 3:46:48
  Speaker 1: all understood. They say many pot nosters, interlarded with ave mari's,
• 3:46:52
  Speaker 1: without thinking upon or apprehending the meaning of what it
• 3:46:55
  Speaker 1: is they say, which truly I call mocking of God,
• 3:46:58
  Speaker 1: and not prayers. But so help them God, as they
• 3:47:02
  Speaker 1: pray for us, and not for being afraid to lose
• 3:47:05
  Speaker 1: their victuals, their manchots and good fat pottage. All true Christians,
• 3:47:11
  Speaker 1: of all estates and conditions, in all places, and at
• 3:47:14
  Speaker 1: all times, send up their prayers to God. And the
• 3:47:17
  Speaker 1: Mediator prayeth and intercedeth for them, and God is gracious
• 3:47:20
  Speaker 1: to them. Now such a one is our good friar John.
• 3:47:25
  Speaker 1: Therefore every man desireth to have him in his company.
• 3:47:28
  Speaker 1: He is no bigot or hypocrite. He is not torn
• 3:47:31
  Speaker 1: divided betwixt reality in appearance, no wretch of a rugged
• 3:47:35
  Speaker 1: and peevish disposition, but honest, jovial, resolute, and a good fellow.
• 3:47:40
  Speaker 1: He travels, he labors, he defends the oppressed, comforts the afflicted,
• 3:47:45
  Speaker 1: helps the needy, and keeps the clothes of the abbey. Nay,
• 3:47:49
  Speaker 1: said the Monk, I do a great deal more than that,
• 3:47:52
  Speaker 1: For whilst we are in dispatching our maddens and anniversaries
• 3:47:55
  Speaker 1: in the choir. I make with all some crossbow strings,
• 3:47:58
  Speaker 1: polished glass bottles and bolts. I twist lines, and we've
• 3:48:01
  Speaker 1: pursed nets wherein to catch connies. I am never idle.
• 3:48:06
  Speaker 1: But now hither come some drink, Some drink here, bring
• 3:48:11
  Speaker 1: the fruit. These chestnuts are of the wood of estrocs,
• 3:48:15
  Speaker 1: and with good new wine, are able to make you
• 3:48:17
  Speaker 1: a fine cracker and composer of bum sonnets. You are
• 3:48:21
  Speaker 1: not as yet it seems well moistened in this house
• 3:48:24
  Speaker 1: with the sweet wine, and must by gee, I drink
• 3:48:28
  Speaker 1: to all men freely and at all fords, like a
• 3:48:31
  Speaker 1: proctor or promoter's horse. Friar John said, Gymnast, take away
• 3:48:36
  Speaker 1: the snot that hangs at your nose. Ha ha, said
• 3:48:40
  Speaker 1: the monk, am not I in danger of drowning, Seeing
• 3:48:43
  Speaker 1: I am in water even to the nose, No no where, Kia,
• 3:48:49
  Speaker 1: though some water come out from thence there never goes
• 3:48:52
  Speaker 1: in any for it is well antidote, with potproof armor
• 3:48:55
  Speaker 1: and syrup of the vine leaf. Oh, my friend, he
• 3:48:59
  Speaker 1: that hath winter boots made of such leather, may boldly
• 3:49:01
  Speaker 1: fish for oysters, for they will never take water. What
• 3:49:05
  Speaker 1: is the cause, said Gargantua, that Friar John hath such
• 3:49:09
  Speaker 1: a fair nose, because said Grangusere, that God would have it.
• 3:49:14
  Speaker 1: So who frometh Us in such form and for such
• 3:49:17
  Speaker 1: end as is most agreeable with his divine will, even
• 3:49:19
  Speaker 1: as a potter fashioneth his vessels, Because said Poncrates, he
• 3:49:24
  Speaker 1: came with the first to the fair of noses, and
• 3:49:27
  Speaker 1: therefore made choice of the fairest and the greatest. Pish,
• 3:49:31
  Speaker 1: said the monk. That is not the reason of it,
• 3:49:33
  Speaker 1: But according to the true monastical philosophy, it is because
• 3:49:37
  Speaker 1: my nurse had soft teats by virtue, whereof whilst she
• 3:49:40
  Speaker 1: gave me suck, my nose did sink in as in
• 3:49:43
  Speaker 1: so much butter. The hard breasts of nurses make children
• 3:49:47
  Speaker 1: short nosed, but hey gay add formum nazi cognostor at

  Speaker 1: I am at the bibbery item, bring me rather some toasts.
• 3:50:02
  Speaker 1: Chapter one dot xli dot. How the monk made Gargantua sleep,
• 3:50:06
  Speaker 1: and of his hours in breviaries. Supper being ended, they
• 3:50:10
  Speaker 1: consulted of the business in hand, and concluded that about
• 3:50:14
  Speaker 1: midnight they should fall unawares upon the enemy. To know
• 3:50:17
  Speaker 1: what manner of watch and ward they kept, and that
• 3:50:19
  Speaker 1: in the meanwhile they should take a little rest, the
• 3:50:21
  Speaker 1: better to refresh themselves. But Gargantua could not sleep by
• 3:50:26
  Speaker 1: any means, on which side soever he turned himself. Whereupon
• 3:50:30
  Speaker 1: the monk said to him, I never sleep soundly, but
• 3:50:33
  Speaker 1: when I am at sermon or prayers. Let us therefore
• 3:50:37
  Speaker 1: begin you and I the seven penitential psalms, to try
• 3:50:40
  Speaker 1: whether you shall not quickly fall asleep. The conceit pleased
• 3:50:44
  Speaker 1: Gargantua very well, and beginning the first of these psalms,
• 3:50:48
  Speaker 1: as soon as they came to the words beaty korum,
• 3:50:51
  Speaker 1: they fell asleep, both the one and the other. But
• 3:50:54
  Speaker 1: the monk, for his being formerly accustomed to the hour
• 3:50:57
  Speaker 1: of clostrel, Maddens, failed not to awaken a little before midnight,
• 3:51:01
  Speaker 1: and being up himself, awaked all the rest in singing
• 3:51:04
  Speaker 1: aloud and with a full clear voice, the song awake,
• 3:51:08
  Speaker 1: O ranian ho, awake, awake, O ranian ho. Get up
• 3:51:15
  Speaker 1: you no more sleep must take get up, for we
• 3:51:17
  Speaker 1: must go. When they were all roused and up, he said,
• 3:51:22
  Speaker 1: my masters, it is a usual saying that we begin
• 3:51:25
  Speaker 1: Maddens with coughing, and supper with drinking, let us now
• 3:51:29
  Speaker 1: in doing clean. Contrarily, begin our maddens with drinking, and
• 3:51:33
  Speaker 1: at night before supper we shall cough as hard as
• 3:51:35
  Speaker 1: we can. What said Gargantua, To drink so soon after sleep?
• 3:51:41
  Speaker 1: This is not to live according to the diet and
• 3:51:43
  Speaker 1: prescript rule of the physicians. For you ought first to
• 3:51:46
  Speaker 1: scour and cleanse your stomach of all its superfluities and excrements.
• 3:51:51
  Speaker 1: Oh well physiqued, said the monk, A hundred devils leap
• 3:51:54
  Speaker 1: into my body. If there be not more old drunkards
• 3:51:57
  Speaker 1: than old physicians, I have. I made this packed ion
• 3:52:01
  Speaker 1: and covenant with my appetite, that it always lead down
• 3:52:04
  Speaker 1: and goes to bed with myself. For to that I
• 3:52:06
  Speaker 1: every day give very good order. Then the next morning
• 3:52:09
  Speaker 1: it also riseth with me and gets up when I
• 3:52:11
  Speaker 1: am awake. Mind you your charges, gentlemen, or tend your
• 3:52:15
  Speaker 1: cures as much as you will. I will get me
• 3:52:18
  Speaker 1: to my drawer. In terms of falconry, my tiring, What
• 3:52:22
  Speaker 1: drawer or tiring do you mean, said Gargantua. My breviary,
• 3:52:28
  Speaker 1: said the monk, For just as the falconers, before they
• 3:52:31
  Speaker 1: feed their hawks, do make them draw at a hen's
• 3:52:34
  Speaker 1: leg to purge their brains of phlegm and sharpen them
• 3:52:36
  Speaker 1: to a good appetite. So by taking this merry little
• 3:52:40
  Speaker 1: breviary in the morning, I scour all my lungs and
• 3:52:43
  Speaker 1: am presently ready to drink after what manner, said Gargantua,
• 3:52:48
  Speaker 1: Do you say these fair hours and prayers of yours
• 3:52:51
  Speaker 1: after the manner of whipfield, fescamp and corruptly facin, said
• 3:52:56
  Speaker 1: the monk, By three psalms and three lessons, or nothing
• 3:52:59
  Speaker 1: at all? He that will I never tie myself to
• 3:53:03
  Speaker 1: ours prayers and sacraments, for they are made for the man,
• 3:53:07
  Speaker 1: and not the man for them. Therefore is it that
• 3:53:10
  Speaker 1: I make my prayers in fashion of stirrup leathers. I
• 3:53:12
  Speaker 1: shorten or lengthen them when I think good brevis or
• 3:53:16
  Speaker 1: ratio penetrate CALO's ety longa potatio evacuat Sypho's Where is
• 3:53:21
  Speaker 1: that written by my faith? Said Poncrates. I cannot tell
• 3:53:26
  Speaker 1: my pillacock, but thou art more worth than gold. Therein,
• 3:53:30
  Speaker 1: said the monk, I am like you, but venite Apotamus.
• 3:53:35
  Speaker 1: Then made they ready store of carbonadoes or rashers on
• 3:53:39
  Speaker 1: the coals, and good fat soups or bruise with sip pets,
• 3:53:42
  Speaker 1: and the monk drank what he pleased. Some kept him company,
• 3:53:47
  Speaker 1: and the rest did forbear, for their stomachs were not
• 3:53:49
  Speaker 1: as yet opened. Afterwards, every man began to arm and
• 3:53:53
  Speaker 1: befit himself for the field, and they armed the monk
• 3:53:57
  Speaker 1: against his will, for he desired no other armor for
• 3:54:00
  Speaker 1: back and breast but his frock, nor any other weapon
• 3:54:03
  Speaker 1: in his hand but the staff of the cross. Yet
• 3:54:06
  Speaker 1: at their pleasure was he completely armed capa pie and
• 3:54:09
  Speaker 1: mounted upon one of the best horses in the kingdom,
• 3:54:12
  Speaker 1: with a good slashing chieble by his side, together with Gargantua, Poncrates,
• 3:54:17
  Speaker 1: gymnast Yudaemon, and five and twenty more of the most
• 3:54:20
  Speaker 1: resolute and adventures of Grangousier's house, all armed at proof,
• 3:54:24
  Speaker 1: with their lances in their hands, mounted like Saint George,
• 3:54:28
  Speaker 1: and every one of them having an arquebaser behind him.
• 3:54:31
  Speaker 1: Chapter one dot Exlae dot. How the Monk encouraged his
• 3:54:35

• 3:54:39
  Speaker 1: Champions on their adventure one dash forty two dash zero
• 3:54:43
  Speaker 1: eighty six. Thus went out those valiant champions on their
• 3:54:45
  Speaker 1: adventure in full resolution to know what enterprise they should undertake,
• 3:54:50
  Speaker 1: and what to take heed of and look well to.
• 3:54:52
  Speaker 1: In the day of the great and horrible battle, and
• 3:54:55
  Speaker 1: the monk encouraged them, saying, my children, do not fear
• 3:54:58
  Speaker 1: nor doubt. I will conduct you safely. God and Sank
• 3:55:02
  Speaker 1: Benedict be with us. If I had strength answerable to
• 3:55:06
  Speaker 1: my courage buys death, I would plume them for you
• 3:55:09
  Speaker 1: like ducks. I fear nothing but the great Ordinance. Yet
• 3:55:13
  Speaker 1: I know of a charm by way of prayer, which
• 3:55:16
  Speaker 1: the subsexton of our abbey taught me, that will preserve
• 3:55:19
  Speaker 1: a man from the violence of guns in all manner
• 3:55:21
  Speaker 1: of fire weapons and engines. But it will do me
• 3:55:24
  Speaker 1: no good because I do not believe it. Nevertheless, I
• 3:55:28
  Speaker 1: hope my staff of the Cross shall this day play
• 3:55:30
  Speaker 1: devilish pranks amongst them. By g whoever of our party
• 3:55:35
  Speaker 1: shall offer to play the duck and shrink when blows
• 3:55:37
  Speaker 1: are a dealing. I give myself to the devil if
• 3:55:40
  Speaker 1: I do not make a monk of him in my
• 3:55:42
  Speaker 1: stead and hamper him within my frock, which is a
• 3:55:45
  Speaker 1: sovereign cure against cowardice. Did you never hear of my
• 3:55:49
  Speaker 1: Lord Merles's greyhound, which was not worth a straw in
• 3:55:52
  Speaker 1: the fields, he put a frock about his neck. By
• 3:55:55
  Speaker 1: the body of g there was neither hair nor fox
• 3:55:58
  Speaker 1: that could escape him. And which is more, he lined
• 3:56:01
  Speaker 1: all the bitches in the country, though before that he
• 3:56:04
  Speaker 1: was feeble, reigned and ex Frigidas eaty maleficiatus. The monk,
• 3:56:08
  Speaker 1: uttering these words in collar, as he passed under a
• 3:56:11
  Speaker 1: walnut tree in his way towards the Kazi, he broached
• 3:56:15
  Speaker 1: the visor of his helmet on the stump of a
• 3:56:17
  Speaker 1: great branch of the said tree. Nevertheless, he set his
• 3:56:21
  Speaker 1: spurs so fiercely to the horse, who was full of
• 3:56:24
  Speaker 1: metal and quick on the spur, that he bounded forwards.
• 3:56:27
  Speaker 1: And the monk, going about to ungrapple his visor, let
• 3:56:29
  Speaker 1: go his hold of the bridle, and so hanged by
• 3:56:32
  Speaker 1: his hand upon the bow, whilst his horse stole away
• 3:56:34
  Speaker 1: from under him. By this means was the monk left
• 3:56:38
  Speaker 1: hanging on the walnut tree and crying for help murder, murder,
• 3:56:42
  Speaker 1: swearing also that he was betrayed. Yedemon perceived him first,
• 3:56:46
  Speaker 1: and calling Gargantua, said, sir, come and see Absalom hanging.
• 3:56:52
  Speaker 1: Gargantua being come considered the countenance of the monk, and
• 3:56:55
  Speaker 1: in what posture he hanged. Wherefore he said to Yeadmon,
• 3:56:59
  Speaker 1: you were mistaken in comparing him to Absalom, for Absalom
• 3:57:02
  Speaker 1: hung by his hair. But this shaveling monk hangeth by
• 3:57:05
  Speaker 1: the years. Help me, said the monk in the devil's name?
• 3:57:09
  Speaker 1: Is this a time for you to prate? You seem
• 3:57:12
  Speaker 1: to me to be like the decreedalst preachers, who say
• 3:57:15
  Speaker 1: that whosoever shall see his neighbor in the danger of
• 3:57:17
  Speaker 1: death ought upon pain of trysok excommunication, rather choose to
• 3:57:22
  Speaker 1: admonish him, to make his confession to a priest and
• 3:57:24
  Speaker 1: put his conscience in a state of peace, than otherwise
• 3:57:27
  Speaker 1: to help and relieve him. And therefore, when I shall
• 3:57:30
  Speaker 1: see them fallen into a river and ready to be drowned,
• 3:57:34
  Speaker 1: I shall make them a fair long sermon to contempt
• 3:57:36
  Speaker 1: to moundy I fugus seculai, And when they are stark dead,
• 3:57:39
  Speaker 1: shall then go to their aid and succor in fishing
• 3:57:42
  Speaker 1: after them. Be quiet, said Gymnast, and stir not, my minion.
• 3:57:48
  Speaker 1: I am now coming to unhang thee and to set
• 3:57:50
  Speaker 1: thee at freedom, For thou art a pretty little gentle
• 3:57:53
  Speaker 1: Monicus monicus and cloustro non valet ovaduo said, quondo st
• 3:57:58
  Speaker 1: extra bene valet tr arjina, I have seen above five
• 3:58:02
  Speaker 1: hundred hanged, but I never saw any have a better
• 3:58:05
  Speaker 1: countenance in his dangling, impendulatory swagging. Truly, if I had
• 3:58:10
  Speaker 1: so good a one, I would willingly hang thus all
• 3:58:12
  Speaker 1: my lifetime. What said the monk, have you almost done preaching?
• 3:58:18
  Speaker 1: Help me in the name of God, Seeing you will
• 3:58:20
  Speaker 1: not in the name of the other spirit, or by
• 3:58:22
  Speaker 1: the habit which I wear, he shall repent it temporoiet
• 3:58:26
  Speaker 1: i loco prelebatis. Then Jymnast alighted from his horse, and,
• 3:58:30
  Speaker 1: climbing up the walnut tree, lifted up the monk with
• 3:58:33
  Speaker 1: one hand by the gussets of his armor under the armpits,
• 3:58:36
  Speaker 1: and with the other undid his visor from the stump
• 3:58:39
  Speaker 1: of the broken branch, which done he let him fall
• 3:58:42
  Speaker 1: to the ground, and himself after. As soon as the
• 3:58:45
  Speaker 1: monk was down, he put off all his armor and
• 3:58:48
  Speaker 1: threw away one piece after another about the field, and
• 3:58:51
  Speaker 1: taking to him again his staff of the cross, remounted
• 3:58:54
  Speaker 1: up to his horse, which ye deemon had caught in
• 3:58:57
  Speaker 1: his running away. Then went they on merrily riding along
• 3:59:01
  Speaker 1: on the highway. Chapter one Dot xli I dot How
• 3:59:06
  Speaker 1: the scouts and four party of Picrickal were met with
• 3:59:09
  Speaker 1: by Gargantua, and how the monks slew Captain draw Forth Tyrevant,
• 3:59:13
  Speaker 1: and then was taken prisoner by his enemies. I hear
• 3:59:17
  Speaker 1: the enemy, let us rally one dash forty three dash
• 3:59:20
  Speaker 1: zero eighty eight. Piccrickal, at the relation of those who
• 3:59:23
  Speaker 1: had escaped out of the broil and defeat, wherein Tripet
• 3:59:26
  Speaker 1: was untriped, grew very angry that the devil should have
• 3:59:29
  Speaker 1: so run upon his men, and held all that night
• 3:59:32
  Speaker 1: a council of war, at which Rashcalf and touch Fawcet
• 3:59:35
  Speaker 1: Hastivo took a Dylan concluded his power to be such
• 3:59:39
  Speaker 1: that he was able to defeat all the devils of
• 3:59:41
  Speaker 1: Hell if they should come to jostle with his forces.
• 3:59:45
  Speaker 1: This Piccrickical did not fully believe, though he doubted not
• 3:59:48
  Speaker 1: much of it. Therefore sent he under the command and
• 3:59:52
  Speaker 1: conduct of the Count draw Forth for discovering of the country.
• 3:59:55
  Speaker 1: The number of sixteen hundred horsemen, all well mounted upon
• 3:59:59
  Speaker 1: light horses for skirmish and thoroughly besprinkled with holy water,
• 4:00:02
  Speaker 1: and everyone, for their field mark or cognizance, had the
• 4:00:05
  Speaker 1: sign of a star in his scarf, to serve at
• 4:00:09
  Speaker 1: all adventures in case they should happen to encounter with devils,
• 4:00:12
  Speaker 1: that by the virtue, as well of that Gregorian water,
• 4:00:15
  Speaker 1: as of the stars which they wore, they might make
• 4:00:18
  Speaker 1: them disappear in Evanish. In this equipage they made an
• 4:00:22
  Speaker 1: excursion upon the country till they came near to the Vagyon,
• 4:00:25
  Speaker 1: which is the valley of Gayan, and to the Spittle,
• 4:00:27
  Speaker 1: but could never find anybody to speak unto, whereupon they
• 4:00:31
  Speaker 1: returned a little back, and took occasion to pass above
• 4:00:34
  Speaker 1: the aforesaid hospital to try what intelligence they could come
• 4:00:37
  Speaker 1: by in those parts in which resolution riding on, and
• 4:00:41
  Speaker 1: by chance in a pastoral lodge or a shepherd's cottage
• 4:00:44
  Speaker 1: near to Caudre, hitting upon the five pilgrims, they carried
• 4:00:47
  Speaker 1: them way bound and manacled as if they had been spies,
• 4:00:50
  Speaker 1: for all the exclamations, adjurations and requests that they could make.
• 4:00:55
  Speaker 1: Being come down from thence towards Seville, they were heard
• 4:00:58
  Speaker 1: by Gargantua, who said, then unto those that were with him,
• 4:01:02
  Speaker 1: comrades and fellow soldiers, we have here met with an encounter,
• 4:01:05
  Speaker 1: and they are ten times in number more than we
• 4:01:09
  Speaker 1: shall we charge them? Or no, what a devil, said
• 4:01:12
  Speaker 1: the monk, shall we do else? Do you esteem men
• 4:01:16
  Speaker 1: by their number rather than by their valor and prowess?
• 4:01:20
  Speaker 1: With this he cried out, charge devils, charge which when
• 4:01:24
  Speaker 1: the enemies heard, they thought certainly that they had been
• 4:01:27
  Speaker 1: very devils, and therefore even then began all of them
• 4:01:30
  Speaker 1: to run away as hard as they could drive. Draw
• 4:01:33
  Speaker 1: Forth only accepted, who immediately settled his lance on its rest,
• 4:01:37
  Speaker 1: and therewith hit the monk with all his force on
• 4:01:39
  Speaker 1: the very middle of his breast, but coming against his
• 4:01:42
  Speaker 1: horrific frock, the point of the iron being with the blow,
• 4:01:45
  Speaker 1: either broke off or blunted. It was in matter of
• 4:01:48
  Speaker 1: execution as if you had struck against an anvil with
• 4:01:51
  Speaker 1: a little wax candle. Then did the monk, with his
• 4:01:54
  Speaker 1: staff of the cross, give him such a sturdy thump
• 4:01:56
  Speaker 1: and whereat betwixt his neck and shoulders upon the acron
• 4:02:00
  Speaker 1: me and bone, that he made him lose both sense
• 4:02:02
  Speaker 1: and motion, fall down stone dead at his horses feet,
• 4:02:05
  Speaker 1: and seeing the sign of the star, which he wore scarf. Wise,
• 4:02:09
  Speaker 1: he said, unto Gargantua, these men are but priests, which
• 4:02:13
  Speaker 1: is but the beginning of a monk. By Saint John,
• 4:02:16
  Speaker 1: I am a perfect monk. I will kill them to
• 4:02:18
  Speaker 1: you like flies. Then ran he after them at a
• 4:02:21
  Speaker 1: swift and full gallop, till he overtook the rear and
• 4:02:24
  Speaker 1: felled them down like tree leaves, striking a thwart and
• 4:02:27
  Speaker 1: a longst in every way. Jymnast presently asked Gargantua if
• 4:02:32
  Speaker 1: they should pursue them, to whom Gargantua answered by no means.
• 4:02:37
  Speaker 1: For according to right military discipline, he must never drive
• 4:02:40
  Speaker 1: your enemy unto despair, for that such a strait doth
• 4:02:43
  Speaker 1: multiply his force and increase his courage, which was before
• 4:02:46
  Speaker 1: broken and cast down. Neither is there any better help
• 4:02:50
  Speaker 1: or outrage of relief for men that are amazed, out
• 4:02:52
  Speaker 1: of heart, toiled, and spent, than to hope for no
• 4:02:56
  Speaker 1: favor at all. How many victories have been taken out
• 4:03:00
  Speaker 1: of the hands of the victors by the vanquished, when
• 4:03:02
  Speaker 1: they would not rest satisfied with reason, but attempt to
• 4:03:05
  Speaker 1: put all to the sword and totally to destroy their
• 4:03:08
  Speaker 1: enemies without leaving so much as one to carry home
• 4:03:11
  Speaker 1: news of the defeat of his fellows. Open, therefore, unto
• 4:03:15
  Speaker 1: your enemies all the gates and ways, and make to
• 4:03:18
  Speaker 1: them a bridge of silver, rather than fail, that you
• 4:03:21
  Speaker 1: may be rid of them. Yea, but said Gymnast, they
• 4:03:25
  Speaker 1: have the monk, have they the monk, said Gargantua, upon
• 4:03:31
  Speaker 1: mine honor. Then it will prove to their cost. But
• 4:03:35
  Speaker 1: to prevent all dangers, let us not yet retreat, but
• 4:03:38
  Speaker 1: halt here quietly as in an ambush. For I think
• 4:03:41
  Speaker 1: I do already understand the policy and judgment of our enemies.
• 4:03:45
  Speaker 1: They are truly more directed by chance and mere fortune
• 4:03:48
  Speaker 1: than by good advice and counsel. In the meanwhile, whilst
• 4:03:52
  Speaker 1: these made a stop under the walnut trees, the monk
• 4:03:55
  Speaker 1: pursued on the chase, charging all he overtook, and giving
• 4:03:58
  Speaker 1: quarter to none, until he met with a trooper, who
• 4:04:01
  Speaker 1: carried behind him one of the poor pilgrims, and there
• 4:04:03
  Speaker 1: would have rifled him. The pilgrim, in hope of relief
• 4:04:07
  Speaker 1: at the sight of the monk, cried out, ha, my
• 4:04:10
  Speaker 1: Lord Prior, my good friend, my Lord Prior, save me.
• 4:04:14
  Speaker 1: I beseech you save me, which words being heard by
• 4:04:18
  Speaker 1: those that rode in the van. They instantly faced about, and,
• 4:04:21
  Speaker 1: seeing there was nobody but the monk that made this
• 4:04:24
  Speaker 1: great havoc and slaughter among them, they loaded him with
• 4:04:27
  Speaker 1: blows as thick as they used to do an ass
• 4:04:29
  Speaker 1: with wood. But of all this he felt nothing, especially
• 4:04:32
  Speaker 1: when they struck upon his frock, his skin was so hard.
• 4:04:37
  Speaker 1: Then they committed him to two of the Marshal's men
• 4:04:39
  Speaker 1: to keep, and looking about, saw nobody coming against them.
• 4:04:43
  Speaker 1: Whereupon they thought that Gargantua and his party were fled.
• 4:04:47
  Speaker 1: Then was it that they rode as hard as they
• 4:04:49
  Speaker 1: could towards the walnut trees to meet with them, and
• 4:04:51
  Speaker 1: left the monk there all alone, with his two foresaid
• 4:04:54
  Speaker 1: men to guard him. Gargantua heard the noise and neighing
• 4:04:58
  Speaker 1: of the horses, and said to his men, Comrades, I
• 4:05:02
  Speaker 1: hear the track and beating of the enemy's horse feet,
• 4:05:04
  Speaker 1: and withal perceived that some of them come in a
• 4:05:06
  Speaker 1: troop and full body against us. Let us rallying close here,
• 4:05:11
  Speaker 1: then set forward in order, and by this means we
• 4:05:14
  Speaker 1: shall be able to receive their charge, to their loss
• 4:05:16
  Speaker 1: and our honor. Chapter one Dot excel I Vidot how
• 4:05:20
  Speaker 1: the monk rid himself of his keepers, and how Piccrickles
• 4:05:23
  Speaker 1: forlorn hope was defeated. The monk, seeing them break off
• 4:05:28
  Speaker 1: thus without order, conjectured that they were to set upon
• 4:05:31
  Speaker 1: Gargantua and those that were with him, and was wonderfully
• 4:05:34
  Speaker 1: grieved that he could not succor them. Then considered he
• 4:05:37
  Speaker 1: the countenance of the two keepers in whose custody he was,
• 4:05:40
  Speaker 1: who would have willingly run after the troops to get
• 4:05:43
  Speaker 1: some booty and plunder, and were always looking towards the
• 4:05:46
  Speaker 1: valley unto which they were going farther. He syllogized, saying,
• 4:05:51
  Speaker 1: these men are but badly skilled in matters of war,
• 4:05:54
  Speaker 1: for they have not required my parole, neither have they
• 4:05:57
  Speaker 1: taken my sword from me. Suddenly, hereafter he drew his
• 4:06:01
  Speaker 1: black murder horseman's sword, wherewith he gave the keeper which
• 4:06:04
  Speaker 1: held him on the right side, such a sound slash
• 4:06:07
  Speaker 1: that he cut clean through the jugulary veins and the
• 4:06:09
  Speaker 1: s fidgidd or transparent arteries of the neck, with the
• 4:06:12
  Speaker 1: fore part of the throat, called the gregarian, even unto
• 4:06:15
  Speaker 1: the two adens, which are throat colonels, and redoubling the blow,
• 4:06:20
  Speaker 1: he opened the spinal marrow betwixt the second and third vertebrae.
• 4:06:25
  Speaker 1: There fell down the keeper stark dead to the ground.
• 4:06:29
  Speaker 1: Then the monk, reining his horse to the left, ran
• 4:06:32
  Speaker 1: upon the other. Seeing his fellow dead, and the monk,
• 4:06:35
  Speaker 1: to have the advantage of him, cried with a loud voice,
• 4:06:38
  Speaker 1: my lord, Prior quarter, I yield, my lord, Prior, quarter Quarter,
• 4:06:43
  Speaker 1: my good friend, my lord Prior. And the monk cried likewise,
• 4:06:48
  Speaker 1: my lord Posterior, my friend, my lord Posterior, ye shall
• 4:06:52
  Speaker 1: have it upon your posterior arms. Ha, said the keeper,
• 4:06:56
  Speaker 1: my lord Prior, my minion, my gentle lord Prior, I
• 4:07:00
  Speaker 1: pray God make you an abbot by the habit, said
• 4:07:03
  Speaker 1: the monk, which I wear. I will here make you
• 4:07:06
  Speaker 1: a cardinal. What do you use to pay ransoms to
• 4:07:10
  Speaker 1: religious men? You shall therefore have by and by a
• 4:07:14
  Speaker 1: red hat of my giving. And the fellow cried, ha,
• 4:07:18
  Speaker 1: my lord Prior, my lord Prior, my lord abbot, that
• 4:07:21
  Speaker 1: shall be my lord cardinal, my lord all ha ha,
• 4:07:26
  Speaker 1: he's no, my lord Prior, my good little lord, the Prior,
• 4:07:30
  Speaker 1: I yield, render and deliver myself up to you. And
• 4:07:34
  Speaker 1: I deliver thee, said the monk, to all the devils
• 4:07:37
  Speaker 1: in hell. Then at one stroke he cut off his head,
• 4:07:41
  Speaker 1: cutting his scalp upon the temple bones, and lifting up
• 4:07:44
  Speaker 1: in the upper part of the skull the two triangulary
• 4:07:46
  Speaker 1: bones called sincipital or the two bones bregmatis, together with
• 4:07:50
  Speaker 1: the sagital commissure or dart like seam, which distinguisheth the
• 4:07:53
  Speaker 1: right side of the head from the left, as also
• 4:07:57
  Speaker 1: a great part of the coronal or forehead bone, by
• 4:07:59
  Speaker 1: which which terrible blow. Likewise he cut the two maningis
• 4:08:02
  Speaker 1: or films, which enwrapped the brain, and made a deep
• 4:08:05
  Speaker 1: wound in the brain's two posterior ventricles, and the cranium
• 4:08:09
  Speaker 1: or scull abode hanging upon his shoulders by the skin
• 4:08:12
  Speaker 1: of the pericranium behind in form of a doctor's bonnet,
• 4:08:16
  Speaker 1: black without and red within. Thus fell he down also
• 4:08:20
  Speaker 1: to the ground, stark dead. And presently the monk gave
• 4:08:23
  Speaker 1: his horse the spur, and kept the way that the
• 4:08:26
  Speaker 1: enemy held, who had met with Gargantua and his companions
• 4:08:29
  Speaker 1: in the broad Highway, and were so diminished of their
• 4:08:32
  Speaker 1: number for the enormous slaughter that Gargantua had made with
• 4:08:35
  Speaker 1: his great tree amongst them, as also gymnasts, Ponocrates, Yudaemon,
• 4:08:40
  Speaker 1: and the rest, that they began to retreat disorderly and
• 4:08:43
  Speaker 1: in great haste, as men altogether affrighted and troubled in
• 4:08:46
  Speaker 1: both sense and understanding, and as if they had seen
• 4:08:50
  Speaker 1: the very proper species and form of death before their eyes.
• 4:08:53
  Speaker 1: Or rather as when you see an ass with a
• 4:08:56
  Speaker 1: bris or gadbeat under his tail, or fly that stings him,
• 4:08:59
  Speaker 1: run him thither and thither without keeping any path or way,
• 4:09:02
  Speaker 1: throwing down his load to the ground, breaking his bridle
• 4:09:05
  Speaker 1: and reins, and taking no breath nor rest, And no
• 4:09:10
  Speaker 1: man can tell what ails him, for they see not
• 4:09:12
  Speaker 1: anything touch him. So fled these people, destitute of wit,
• 4:09:16
  Speaker 1: without knowing any cause of flying, only pursued by a
• 4:09:20
  Speaker 1: panic terror which in their minds they had conceived. The monk,
• 4:09:24
  Speaker 1: perceiving that their whole intent was to betake themselves to
• 4:09:27
  Speaker 1: their heels, alighted from his horse and got upon a
• 4:09:30
  Speaker 1: big large rock which was in the way, and with
• 4:09:32
  Speaker 1: his great brackmeerd sword, laid such load upon those runaways,
• 4:09:36
  Speaker 1: and with main strength, fetching a compass with his arm,
• 4:09:39
  Speaker 1: without feigning or sparing, slew and overthrew so many that
• 4:09:43
  Speaker 1: his sword broke in two pieces. Then thought he within
• 4:09:47
  Speaker 1: himself that he had slain and killed sufficiently, and that
• 4:09:50
  Speaker 1: the rest should escape to carry news. Therefore he took
• 4:09:54
  Speaker 1: up a battle axe of those that lay there dead,
• 4:09:56
  Speaker 1: and got upon the rock again, passing his time to
• 4:09:59
  Speaker 1: see the enemy, thus flying in to tumble himself amongst
• 4:10:02
  Speaker 1: the dead bodies, only that he suffered none to carry pike, sword, lance,
• 4:10:07
  Speaker 1: nor gun with him, And those who carried the pilgrims
• 4:10:09
  Speaker 1: bound he made to alight and gave their horses unto
• 4:10:13
  Speaker 1: the said pilgrims, keeping them there with him under the hedge,
• 4:10:16
  Speaker 1: and also touch Faucet, who was then his prisoner. Chapter
• 4:10:21
  Speaker 1: one dot exel Vidot, how the monk carried along with
• 4:10:24
  Speaker 1: him the pilgrims, and of the good words that Grangesier
• 4:10:27
  Speaker 1: gave them. This skirmish being ended, Gargantua retreated with his men,
• 4:10:32
  Speaker 1: accepting the monk, and about the dawning of the day,
• 4:10:34
  Speaker 1: they came unto Grangosier, who in his bed was praying
• 4:10:37
  Speaker 1: unto God for their safety in victory. And seeing them
• 4:10:41
  Speaker 1: all safe and sound, he embraced them lovingly and asked
• 4:10:44
  Speaker 1: what was become of the monk. Gargantua answered him that,
• 4:10:48
  Speaker 1: without doubt the enemies had the monk, then have they
• 4:10:52
  Speaker 1: mischief and ill luck, said Grangoser, which was very true. Therefore,
• 4:10:57
  Speaker 1: is it a common proverb to this day to give
• 4:10:59
  Speaker 1: a man the monk, or, as in French, Louis Baillier
• 4:11:03
  Speaker 1: le Moyne, when they would express the doing unto one
• 4:11:05
  Speaker 1: a mischief, then commanded he a good breakfast to be
• 4:11:09
  Speaker 1: provided for their refreshment. When all was ready, they called Gargantua,
• 4:11:14
  Speaker 1: but he was so aggrieved that the monk was not
• 4:11:16
  Speaker 1: to be heard of, that he would neither eat nor
• 4:11:18
  Speaker 1: drink in the Meanwhile, the monk comes, and from the
• 4:11:22
  Speaker 1: gate of the outer court cries out aloud, fresh wine,
• 4:11:25
  Speaker 1: fresh wine. Jimnast, my friend Gymnast went out and saw
• 4:11:29
  Speaker 1: that it was Friar John, who brought along with him
• 4:11:32
  Speaker 1: five pilgrims and touch Fawcet prisoners. Whereupon Gargantua likewise went
• 4:11:36
  Speaker 1: forth to meet him, and all of them made him
• 4:11:39
  Speaker 1: the best welcome that possibly they could, and brought him
• 4:11:41
  Speaker 1: before Grangoisseer, who asked him of all his adventures. The
• 4:11:46
  Speaker 1: monk told him all both how he was taken, how
• 4:11:49
  Speaker 1: he rid himself of his keepers of the slaughter he
• 4:11:51
  Speaker 1: had made by the way, and how he had rescued
• 4:11:54
  Speaker 1: the pilgrims and brought along with him Captain touch Fawcet.
• 4:11:57
  Speaker 1: Then did they altogether fall to banqueting most merrily. In
• 4:12:02
  Speaker 1: the meantime, Grangeossere asked the pilgrims what countrymen they were,
• 4:12:05
  Speaker 1: whence they came, and whither they went? Swear to go
• 4:12:09
  Speaker 1: in the name of the rest, answered my sovereign Lord.
• 4:12:12
  Speaker 1: I am of Saint jenw in Berry. This man is
• 4:12:15
  Speaker 1: of Paulvo, this other is of Asey, this of Argie,
• 4:12:18
  Speaker 1: this of Saint Nazarinth, and this man of Villebrennan. We
• 4:12:22
  Speaker 1: come from Saint Sebastian, near Nants, and are now returning
• 4:12:26
  Speaker 1: as we best may, by easy journeys. Yea, but said Grangessere,
• 4:12:31
  Speaker 1: what went you to do at Saint Sebastian? We went, said,
• 4:12:35
  Speaker 1: swear to go to offer up unto that sanct oar
• 4:12:37
  Speaker 1: vows against the plague. Ah, poor men, said Grangissere. Do
• 4:12:43
  Speaker 1: you think that the plague comes from Saint Sebastian, Yes, truly,
• 4:12:48
  Speaker 1: answered swear to go. Our preachers tell us so indeed,
• 4:12:52
  Speaker 1: But is it so said Grangissere, do the false prophets
• 4:12:55
  Speaker 1: teach you such abuses? Do they thus blaspheme the sants
• 4:12:59
  Speaker 1: and holy men of God, as to make them like
• 4:13:02
  Speaker 1: unto the devils, who do nothing but hurt unto mankind.
• 4:13:05
  Speaker 1: As Homer riteth that the plague was sent into the
• 4:13:08
  Speaker 1: camp of the Greeks by Apollo, and as the poets
• 4:13:10
  Speaker 1: fage a great rabble of the joves and mischievous gods.
• 4:13:14
  Speaker 1: So did a certain kefard, to dissembling religionary preach at Sinnae,
• 4:13:18
  Speaker 1: that Saint Anthony sent the fire into men's legs, that
• 4:13:21
  Speaker 1: Saint Eutropius made men hydropic, Saint clydas fools, and that
• 4:13:26
  Speaker 1: Saint Jennam made them goutish. But I punished him so exemplarily,
• 4:13:31
  Speaker 1: though he called me heredic for it, that since that
• 4:13:33
  Speaker 1: time no such hypocritical rogue durst set his foot within
• 4:13:36
  Speaker 1: my territories. And truly I wonder that your King should
• 4:13:41
  Speaker 1: suffer them, in their sermons to publish such scandalous doctrine
• 4:13:44
  Speaker 1: in his dominions. For they deserve to be chastised with
• 4:13:47
  Speaker 1: greater severity than those who by magical art or any
• 4:13:50
  Speaker 1: other device have brought the pestilence into a country. The
• 4:13:54
  Speaker 1: pest killeth but the bodies but such abominable impostors, and
• 4:13:58
  Speaker 1: poison our very souls. As he spake these words in
• 4:14:02
  Speaker 1: came the monk very resolute, and ask them, whence are
• 4:14:05
  Speaker 1: you you poor wretches of Saint Genew? Said they? And
• 4:14:10
  Speaker 1: how said the monk does the abbot gulligut the good drinker?
• 4:14:14
  Speaker 1: And the monks what cheer make they? By gee body?
• 4:14:18
  Speaker 1: They'll have a fling at your wives and breast them
• 4:14:21
  Speaker 1: to some purpose whilst you are upon your roaming rant
• 4:14:24
  Speaker 1: and gaddying pilgrimage. Hen hen said, swear to go. I
• 4:14:29
  Speaker 1: am not afraid of mine, for he that shall see
• 4:14:31
  Speaker 1: her by day will never break his neck to come
• 4:14:34
  Speaker 1: to her in the night time. Yea marry, said the monk.
• 4:14:38
  Speaker 1: Now you have hid it, Let her be as ugly
• 4:14:41
  Speaker 1: as ever was Proserpina. She will, once, by the Lord
• 4:14:44
  Speaker 1: g be overturned and get her skin coat shaken. If
• 4:14:48
  Speaker 1: there dwell any monks near to her, for a good
• 4:14:50
  Speaker 1: carpenter will make use of any kind of timber. Let
• 4:14:53
  Speaker 1: me be peppered with the pox. If you find not
• 4:14:56
  Speaker 1: all your wives with child at your return. For the
• 4:14:59
  Speaker 1: very shadow of this deeple of an abbey is fruitful,
• 4:15:02
  Speaker 1: it is, said Gargantua, like the water of Nelus in Egypt.
• 4:15:06
  Speaker 1: If you believe Strabo and Pliny, live seven cap free.
• 4:15:12
  Speaker 1: What virtue will there be? Then said the monk, in
• 4:15:14
  Speaker 1: their bullets of concupiscence, their habits and their bodies. Then
• 4:15:19
  Speaker 1: said grangesir, go your ways, poor men, in the name
• 4:15:23
  Speaker 1: of God, the Creator, to whom I pray to guide
• 4:15:25
  Speaker 1: you perpetually and henceforward. Be not so ready to undertake
• 4:15:29
  Speaker 1: these idle and improfitable journeys. Look to your families, labor
• 4:15:33
  Speaker 1: every man in his vocation, instruct your children, and live
• 4:15:37
  Speaker 1: as the good apostle Saint Paul directeth you in doing,
• 4:15:40
  Speaker 1: whereof God his angels and sanks will guard and protect you,
• 4:15:44
  Speaker 1: and no evil or plague at any time shall befall you.
• 4:15:48
  Speaker 1: Then Gargantua led them into the hall to take their refection.
• 4:15:51
  Speaker 1: But the pilgrims did nothing but sigh and said to Gargantua, Oh,
• 4:15:56
  Speaker 1: how happy is that land which hath such a man
• 4:15:58
  Speaker 1: for their lord. We have been more edified and instructed
• 4:16:02
  Speaker 1: by the talk which he had with us, than by
• 4:16:04
  Speaker 1: all the sermons that ever were preached in our town.
• 4:16:08
  Speaker 1: This is said Gargantua, that which Plato seth lived five
• 4:16:11
  Speaker 1: to repubble, that those commonwealths are happy, whose ruler's philosophate
• 4:16:16
  Speaker 1: and whose philosophers rule. Then caused he their wallets to
• 4:16:20
  Speaker 1: be filled with victuals, and their bottles with wine, and
• 4:16:23
  Speaker 1: gave unto each of them a horse to ease them
• 4:16:25
  Speaker 1: upon the way, together with some pence to live. By
• 4:16:29
  Speaker 1: chapter one dot exel viidot, how Grangoissere did very kindly
• 4:16:33
  Speaker 1: entertain touch Fawcet, his prisoner. Touch Faucet was presented unto Grangossier,
• 4:16:38
  Speaker 1: and by him examined upon the enterprise an attempt of
• 4:16:41
  Speaker 1: Picrickle what it was he could pretend to or aim
• 4:16:44
  Speaker 1: at by the rustling stir and tumultuary coil of this
• 4:16:47
  Speaker 1: his sudden invasion, whereunto he answered that his end and
• 4:16:51
  Speaker 1: purpose was to conquer all the country, if he could,
• 4:16:55
  Speaker 1: for the injury done to his cake baker's. It is
• 4:16:58
  Speaker 1: too great an undertaking, said Grangesir. And as the proverb is,
• 4:17:03
  Speaker 1: he that grips too much, holds fast but little. The
• 4:17:07
  Speaker 1: time is not now as formerly, to conquer the kingdoms
• 4:17:10
  Speaker 1: of our neighbor princes and to build up our own
• 4:17:12
  Speaker 1: greatness upon the loss of our nearest Christian brother. This
• 4:17:16
  Speaker 1: imitation of the ancient Herculeses, Alexander's, Hannibals, Scipios, Caesar's, and
• 4:17:22
  Speaker 1: other such heroes is quite contrary to the profession of
• 4:17:26
  Speaker 1: the Gospel of Christ, by which we are commanded to preserve,
• 4:17:29
  Speaker 1: keep rule, and govern every man his own country in lands,
• 4:17:33
  Speaker 1: and not in a hostile manner to invade others. And
• 4:17:36
  Speaker 1: that which heretofore the Barbers and Saracens called prowess and valor,
• 4:17:40
  Speaker 1: we do now call robbing, thievery and wickedness. It would
• 4:17:45
  Speaker 1: have been more commendable in him to have contained himself
• 4:17:47
  Speaker 1: within the bounds of his own territories royally governing them,
• 4:17:51
  Speaker 1: than to insult and domineer in mine, pillaging and plundering
• 4:17:54
  Speaker 1: everywhere like a most unmerciful enemy. For by ruling his
• 4:17:58
  Speaker 1: own with discretion, he might have increase least his greatness,
• 4:18:01
  Speaker 1: but by robbing me he cannot escape destruction. Go your
• 4:18:05
  Speaker 1: ways in the name of God, prosecute good enterprises, Show
• 4:18:09
  Speaker 1: your king what is amiss, and never counsel him with
• 4:18:12
  Speaker 1: regard unto your own particular prophet. For the public loss
• 4:18:15
  Speaker 1: will swallow up the private benefit. As for your ransom,
• 4:18:19
  Speaker 1: I do freely remit it to you, and will let
• 4:18:21
  Speaker 1: your arms and horse be restored to you, so should
• 4:18:24
  Speaker 1: good neighbors do, and ancient friends. Seeing this, our difference
• 4:18:28
  Speaker 1: is not properly war, as Plato lib fived, a Republican
• 4:18:33
  Speaker 1: would not have it called war but sedition when the
• 4:18:36
  Speaker 1: Greeks took up arms against one another, and that therefore,
• 4:18:39
  Speaker 1: when such combustions should arise amongst them, his advice was
• 4:18:43
  Speaker 1: to behave themselves in the managing of them, with all
• 4:18:45
  Speaker 1: discretion and modesty. Although you call it war, it is
• 4:18:49
  Speaker 1: but superficial. It entereth not into the closet and inmost
• 4:18:53
  Speaker 1: cabinet of our hearts, For neither of us have been
• 4:18:56
  Speaker 1: wronged in his honor, Nor is there any question betwixt
• 4:18:59
  Speaker 1: us in the mans aim, but only how to redress
• 4:19:02
  Speaker 1: by the bye some petty faults committed by our men,
• 4:19:05
  Speaker 1: I mean both yours and ours, which, although you knew,
• 4:19:09
  Speaker 1: you ought to let pass. For these quarrelsome persons deserve
• 4:19:13
  Speaker 1: rather to be contemned than mentioned, especially seeing I offered
• 4:19:16
  Speaker 1: them satisfaction. According to the wrong God shall be the
• 4:19:20
  Speaker 1: just judge of our variances, whom I beseech by death,
• 4:19:23
  Speaker 1: rather to take me out of this life and to
• 4:19:25
  Speaker 1: permit my goods to perish and be destroyed before mine eyes,
• 4:19:29
  Speaker 1: than that by me or mine he should in any
• 4:19:31
  Speaker 1: sort be wronged. These words uttered, he called the monk,
• 4:19:35
  Speaker 1: and before them all thus spoke unto him, Friar John,
• 4:19:38
  Speaker 1: my good friend, it is you that took prisoner the
• 4:19:41
  Speaker 1: Captain touch Fawcett here present, Sir, said the monk, seeing
• 4:19:45
  Speaker 1: himself is here, and that he is of the years
• 4:19:47
  Speaker 1: of discretion, I had rather you should know it by
• 4:19:50
  Speaker 1: his confession than by any words of mine. Then said
• 4:19:54
  Speaker 1: touch Fawcet, my sovereign lord. It is he indeed that
• 4:19:56
  Speaker 1: took me, and I do therefore most freely yield myself prisoner.
• 4:20:01
  Speaker 1: Have you put into any ransom, said Grangoisseir to the monk, No,
• 4:20:07
  Speaker 1: said the monk of that, I take no care. How
• 4:20:10
  Speaker 1: much would you have for having taken him? Nothing? Nothing,
• 4:20:14
  Speaker 1: said the monk. I am not swayed by that, nor
• 4:20:17
  Speaker 1: do I regard it. Then, Grangeisier commanded that in presence
• 4:20:21
  Speaker 1: of touch Facet should be delivered to the monk for
• 4:20:24
  Speaker 1: taking him the sum of threescore and two thousand salads
• 4:20:27
  Speaker 1: in English money fifteen thousand and five hundred pounds, which
• 4:20:31
  Speaker 1: was done whilst they made a collation or little banquet
• 4:20:34
  Speaker 1: to the said touch Fawcet, of whom Grangeusier asked if
• 4:20:37
  Speaker 1: he would stay with him or if he loved rather
• 4:20:40
  Speaker 1: to return to his king. Touch Fawcet answered that he
• 4:20:43
  Speaker 1: was content to take whatever course he would advise him to.
• 4:20:47
  Speaker 1: Then said Grangeiseir, return unto your king, and God be
• 4:20:51
  Speaker 1: with you. Then he gave him an excellent sword of
• 4:20:54
  Speaker 1: a v n blade with a golden scabbard wrought with
• 4:20:57
  Speaker 1: vine branch like flourishes of fair goldsmith work, and a
• 4:21:01
  Speaker 1: collar or neck chain of gold weighing seven hundred and
• 4:21:03
  Speaker 1: two thousand marks at eight ounces each, garnished with precious
• 4:21:07
  Speaker 1: stones of the finest sort, esteemed at a hundred and
• 4:21:11
  Speaker 1: sixty thousand ducats and ten thousand crowns, more as an
• 4:21:14
  Speaker 1: honorable donative by way of present. After this talk, touch
• 4:21:19
  Speaker 1: Fawcet got to his horse and Gargantua for his safety,
• 4:21:22
  Speaker 1: allowed him the guard of thirty men at arms and
• 4:21:24
  Speaker 1: six score archers to attend him under the conduct of Gymnast,
• 4:21:28
  Speaker 1: to bring him even unto the gate of the Rock Clermant,
• 4:21:30
  Speaker 1: if there were need. As soon as he was gone,
• 4:21:33
  Speaker 1: the monk restored unto Grangdeeser the threescore and two thousand
• 4:21:37
  Speaker 1: salats which he had received, saying, sir, it is not
• 4:21:40
  Speaker 1: as yet the time for you to give such gifts.
• 4:21:43
  Speaker 1: Stay till this war be at an end, for none
• 4:21:45
  Speaker 1: can tell what accidents may occur, and war begun without
• 4:21:48
  Speaker 1: good provision of money beforehand. For going through with it
• 4:21:52
  Speaker 1: is but as a breathing of strength and blast that
• 4:21:55
  Speaker 1: will quickly pass away. Coin is the sinews of war. Well, then,
• 4:22:00
  Speaker 1: said Grangissere, at the end, I will content you by
• 4:22:03
  Speaker 1: some honest recompense, as also all those who shall do
• 4:22:07
  Speaker 1: me good service. Chapter one dot exel vi I dot.
• 4:22:11
  Speaker 1: How Grangousier sent for his legions, and how touch fawcet
• 4:22:15
  Speaker 1: slew rashcalf and was afterwards executed by the command of Picricole.

  Speaker 1: About this same time, those of Bess of the Old

  Speaker 1: of Potiel, of the Briamont of Clainbridge, of Crevant, of Grammont,

  Speaker 1: of the town at the badger holes of Hymes, of Segra,

• 4:22:50
  Speaker 1: of the Bouchard Island, of the Crowley of Narses, of Cannes,
• 4:22:54
  Speaker 1: of Montceroux, and other bordering places. Sent ambassadors unto Grangosseire
• 4:22:59
  Speaker 1: to tell him that they were advised of the great
• 4:23:01
  Speaker 1: wrongs which Piccrickal had done him, and in regard of
• 4:23:04
  Speaker 1: their ancient confederacy, offered him what assistance they could afford,
• 4:23:09
  Speaker 1: both in men, money, victuals, and ammunition and other necessaries
• 4:23:13
  Speaker 1: for war. The money which by the joint agreement of
• 4:23:17
  Speaker 1: them all was sent unto him, amounted to six score
• 4:23:19
  Speaker 1: and fourteen millions two crowns and a half of pure gold.
• 4:23:24
  Speaker 1: The forces wherewith they did assist him, did consist in
• 4:23:27
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand cuirassiers, two and thirty thousand light horsemen for
• 4:23:31
  Speaker 1: score and nine thousand dragoons and one hundred and forty
• 4:23:34
  Speaker 1: thousand volunteer adventurers. These had with them eleven thousand and
• 4:23:38
  Speaker 1: two hundred cannons, double cannons, long pieces of artillery called basilisks,
• 4:23:43
  Speaker 1: and smaller sized ones known by the name of spirals.
• 4:23:47
  Speaker 1: Besides the mortar pieces and grenadoes of pioneers. They had
• 4:23:51
  Speaker 1: seven and forty thousand, all vittled and paid for six
• 4:23:54
  Speaker 1: months and four days of advance, which offered. Gargantua did
• 4:23:59
  Speaker 1: not altogether refuse nor wholly accept of, but giving them
• 4:24:03
  Speaker 1: hearty thanks, said that he would compose and order the
• 4:24:06
  Speaker 1: war by such a device that there should not be
• 4:24:08
  Speaker 1: found great need to put so many honest men to
• 4:24:11
  Speaker 1: trouble in the managing of it, And therefore was content
• 4:24:14
  Speaker 1: at that time to give order only for bringing along
• 4:24:16
  Speaker 1: the legions which he maintained in his ordinary garrison towns
• 4:24:20
  Speaker 1: of the Devoneer, of Chavigny, of Gravit, and of the Quinquinayes,
• 4:24:24
  Speaker 1: amounting to the number of two thousand cuirassiers, three score
• 4:24:27
  Speaker 1: and six thousand foot soldiers, six and twenty thousand dragoons,
• 4:24:32
  Speaker 1: attended by two hundred pieces of great ordnance, two and
• 4:24:35
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand pioneers and six thousand light horsemen, all drawn
• 4:24:39
  Speaker 1: up in troops so well befitted and accommodated, with their commissaries, suttlers, farriers,
• 4:24:45
  Speaker 1: harness makers, and others suchlike necessary members in a military camp,
• 4:24:49
  Speaker 1: so fully instructed in the art of warfare, so perfectly
• 4:24:54
  Speaker 1: knowing and following their colors, so ready to hear and
• 4:24:56
  Speaker 1: obey their captains, so nimble to run, so strong at
• 4:25:00
  Speaker 1: their charging, so prudent in their adventures, and every day
• 4:25:03
  Speaker 1: so well disciplined, that they seemed rather to be a
• 4:25:06
  Speaker 1: concert of organ pipes or mutual concord of the wheels
• 4:25:09
  Speaker 1: of a clock, than an infantry in cavalry or army
• 4:25:13
  Speaker 1: of soldiers. Touch Fawcett, immediately after his return, presented himself
• 4:25:18
  Speaker 1: before Piicrickal and related unto him at large all that
• 4:25:21
  Speaker 1: he had done and seen, and at last endeavored to
• 4:25:24
  Speaker 1: persuade him with strong and forcible arguments, to capitulate and
• 4:25:27
  Speaker 1: make an agreement with Grangeisier, whom he found to be
• 4:25:30
  Speaker 1: the honestest man in the world, saying further that it
• 4:25:34
  Speaker 1: was neither right nor reason thus to trouble his neighbors,
• 4:25:37
  Speaker 1: of whom they had never received anything but good, and
• 4:25:41
  Speaker 1: in regard of the main point, that they should never
• 4:25:43
  Speaker 1: be able to go through Stitch with that war, but
• 4:25:46
  Speaker 1: to their great damage and mischief. For the forces of
• 4:25:49
  Speaker 1: Picricoal were not so considerable, but that Grangeosseer could easily
• 4:25:52
  Speaker 1: overthrow them, he had not well done speaking when Rashcalf
• 4:25:56
  Speaker 1: set out aloud, unhappy is that prince which is by
• 4:26:00
  Speaker 1: such men served who are so easily corrupted, as I know,
• 4:26:03
  Speaker 1: Touch Fauce, it is for I see his courage so changed,
• 4:26:07
  Speaker 1: that he had willingly joined with our enemies to fight
• 4:26:10
  Speaker 1: against us and betray us if they would have received him.
• 4:26:13
  Speaker 1: But as virtue is of all both friends and foes
• 4:26:16
  Speaker 1: praised and esteemed, so his wickedness soon known and suspected.
• 4:26:20
  Speaker 1: And although it happened the enemies to make use thereof
• 4:26:22
  Speaker 1: for their profit, yet have they always the wicked and
• 4:26:26
  Speaker 1: the traitors in abomination. Touch Faucet, being at these words
• 4:26:30
  Speaker 1: very impatient, drew out his sword and therewith ran Rashcalf
• 4:26:34
  Speaker 1: through the body, a little under the nipple of his
• 4:26:36
  Speaker 1: left side, whereof he died presently, and pulling back his
• 4:26:40
  Speaker 1: sword out of his body, said boldly, so let him perish,
• 4:26:44
  Speaker 1: that shall a faithful servant blame. Piccrickal incognently grew furious, and,
• 4:26:49
  Speaker 1: seeing touch Faucet's new sword and his scabbard so richly
• 4:26:52
  Speaker 1: diapered with flourishes of most excellent workmanship, said, did they
• 4:26:56
  Speaker 1: give thee this weapon so feloniously therewith to kill before
• 4:26:59
  Speaker 1: my face? My so good friend. Rashcalf then immediately commanded
• 4:27:04
  Speaker 1: he his guard to h e w him in pieces,
• 4:27:06
  Speaker 1: which was instantly done, and that so cruelly that the
• 4:27:09
  Speaker 1: chamber was all dyed with blood. Afterwards, he appointed the
• 4:27:13
  Speaker 1: corpse of Rashcalf to be honorably buried, and that of
• 4:27:16
  Speaker 1: touch Faucet to be cast over the walls into the ditch.
• 4:27:20
  Speaker 1: The news of these excessive violences were quickly spread through
• 4:27:23
  Speaker 1: all the army, whereupon many began to murmur against Picrickoal
• 4:27:27
  Speaker 1: in so far that pinch Penny said to him, my
• 4:27:29
  Speaker 1: sovereign Lord, I know not what the issue of this
• 4:27:32
  Speaker 1: enterprise will be. I see your men much dejected and
• 4:27:36
  Speaker 1: not well resolved in their minds. By considering that we
• 4:27:39
  Speaker 1: are here very ill provided a vittal and that our
• 4:27:42
  Speaker 1: number is already much diminished by three or four sallies. Furthermore,
• 4:27:47
  Speaker 1: great supplies and recruits come daily into your enemies, but
• 4:27:51
  Speaker 1: we so molder away that if we be once besieged,
• 4:27:54
  Speaker 1: I do not see how we can escape a total destruction.
• 4:27:57
  Speaker 1: Tush Pish said Picrickal, you are like the meloneals. You
• 4:28:02
  Speaker 1: cry before they come to you. Let them come, Let
• 4:28:05
  Speaker 1: them come if they dare. Chapter one dot exel v
• 4:28:09
  Speaker 1: I I dot. How Gargantua set upon Picrickoal within the
• 4:28:14
  Speaker 1: rock Clermant, and utterly defeated the army of the said Picrickoal.
• 4:28:19
  Speaker 1: Gargantua had the charge of the whole army, and his father, Grangueser,
• 4:28:22
  Speaker 1: stayed in his castle, who, encouraging them with good words,
• 4:28:26
  Speaker 1: promised great rewards unto those that should do any notable service.
• 4:28:31
  Speaker 1: Having thus set forward, as soon as they had gained
• 4:28:33
  Speaker 1: the pass at the Fort of Vede, with boats and
• 4:28:36
  Speaker 1: bridges speedily made, they passed over in a trice. Then,
• 4:28:40
  Speaker 1: considering the situation of the town, which was on a
• 4:28:43
  Speaker 1: high and advantageous place, Gargantua thought fit to call his council,
• 4:28:47
  Speaker 1: and passed that night in deliberation upon what was to
• 4:28:50
  Speaker 1: be done. But Jimnus said, unto him, my sovereign lord,
• 4:28:54
  Speaker 1: such is the nature and complexion of the French, that
• 4:28:57
  Speaker 1: they are worth nothing. But at the first push, then
• 4:29:00
  Speaker 1: are they more fierce than devils. But if they linger
• 4:29:03
  Speaker 1: a little and be wearied with delays, they'll prove more
• 4:29:06
  Speaker 1: faint and remiss than women. My opinion is therefore, that now, presently,
• 4:29:12
  Speaker 1: after your men have taken breath in some small refection,
• 4:29:15
  Speaker 1: you give order for a resolute assault, and that we
• 4:29:18
  Speaker 1: storm them instantly. His advice was found very good, and
• 4:29:22
  Speaker 1: for effectuating thereof, he brought forth his army into the
• 4:29:25
  Speaker 1: plain field and placed the reserves on the skirt or
• 4:29:28
  Speaker 1: rising of a little hill. The monk took along with
• 4:29:32
  Speaker 1: him six companies of foot and two hundred horsemen, well
• 4:29:35
  Speaker 1: armed and with great diligence, crossed the marsh, and valiantly
• 4:29:38
  Speaker 1: got upon the top of the green hillock, even unto
• 4:29:41
  Speaker 1: the highway which leads to Ludan. Whilst the assault was
• 4:29:45
  Speaker 1: thus begun, Piccrickle's men could not tell well what was
• 4:29:48
  Speaker 1: best to issue out and receive the assailants, or keep
• 4:29:51
  Speaker 1: within the town, and not to stir himself in the meantime,
• 4:29:55
  Speaker 1: without deliberation, sallied forth in a rage with the cavalry
• 4:29:59
  Speaker 1: of his guard, who were forthwith received and royally entertained
• 4:30:02
  Speaker 1: with great cannon shot that fell upon them like hail
• 4:30:05
  Speaker 1: from the high grounds on which the artillery was planted,
• 4:30:09
  Speaker 1: whereupon the gargantuists betook themselves unto the valleys to give
• 4:30:13
  Speaker 1: the ordinance leave to play and range with the larger scope.
• 4:30:17
  Speaker 1: Those of the town defended themselves as well as they could,
• 4:30:20
  Speaker 1: but their shot passed over us, without doing us any
• 4:30:23
  Speaker 1: heard at all. Some of Piccrickle's men that had escaped
• 4:30:26
  Speaker 1: our artillery, set most fiercely upon our soldiers, but prevailed little,
• 4:30:31
  Speaker 1: for they were all let in betwixt the files, and
• 4:30:33
  Speaker 1: there knocked down to the ground, which their fellow soldiers
• 4:30:36
  Speaker 1: seem They would have retreated, but the monk, having seized
• 4:30:39
  Speaker 1: upon the pass by which they were to return, they
• 4:30:42
  Speaker 1: ran away and fled in all the disorder and confusion
• 4:30:45
  Speaker 1: that could be imagined. Some would have pursued after them
• 4:30:49
  Speaker 1: and followed the chase, but the monk withheld them, apprehending
• 4:30:52
  Speaker 1: that in their pursuit the pursuers might lose their ranks,
• 4:30:55
  Speaker 1: and so give occasion to the besieged to sally out
• 4:30:57
  Speaker 1: of the town upon them. Then, staying there some space,
• 4:31:01
  Speaker 1: and none coming against him, he sent the Duke Frontist
• 4:31:04
  Speaker 1: to advise Gargantua to advance towards the hill upon the
• 4:31:07
  Speaker 1: left hand, to hinder Piccrickal's retreat at that gate, which
• 4:31:11
  Speaker 1: Gargantua did with all expedition, and sent thither for brigades
• 4:31:14
  Speaker 1: under the conduct of sebast which had no sooner reached
• 4:31:18
  Speaker 1: the top of the hill. But they met Picricoal and
• 4:31:21
  Speaker 1: the teeth, and those that were with him scattered. Then
• 4:31:24
  Speaker 1: charged they upon them stoutly. Yet were they much undamaged
• 4:31:28
  Speaker 1: by those that were upon the walls, who galled them
• 4:31:30
  Speaker 1: with all manner of shot, both from the great ordnance,
• 4:31:33
  Speaker 1: small guns and bows, which Gargantua, perceiving, he went with
• 4:31:38
  Speaker 1: a strong party to their relief, and with his artillery
• 4:31:41
  Speaker 1: began to thunder so terribly upon that canton of the wall,
• 4:31:45
  Speaker 1: and so long that all the strength within the town
• 4:31:48
  Speaker 1: to maintain and fill up the breach was drawn thither.
• 4:31:52
  Speaker 1: The monks, seeing that quarter which he kept besieged, void
• 4:31:54
  Speaker 1: of men and competent guards, and in a manner altogether
• 4:31:57
  Speaker 1: naked and abandoned, did most Magnate unanimously, on a sudden
• 4:32:01
  Speaker 1: lead up his men towards the fort, and never left
• 4:32:03
  Speaker 1: it till he had got up upon it, knowing that
• 4:32:06
  Speaker 1: such as come to the reserve in a conflict bring
• 4:32:09
  Speaker 1: with them always more fear and terror than those that
• 4:32:11
  Speaker 1: deal about them with their hands in the fight. Nevertheless,
• 4:32:15
  Speaker 1: he gave no alarm till all his soldiers had got
• 4:32:17
  Speaker 1: within the wall, except the two hundred horsemen, whom he
• 4:32:20
  Speaker 1: left without to secure his entry. Then did he give
• 4:32:24
  Speaker 1: a most horrible shout, so did all these who were
• 4:32:26
  Speaker 1: with him, And immediately thereafter, without resistance, putting to the
• 4:32:30
  Speaker 1: edge of the sword the guard that was at that gate,
• 4:32:33
  Speaker 1: they opened it to the horsemen, with whom most furiously
• 4:32:36
  Speaker 1: they altogether ran towards the east gate, where all the
• 4:32:39
  Speaker 1: hurleyburly was, and, coming close upon them in the rear,
• 4:32:43
  Speaker 1: overthrew all their forces. The besieged, seeing that the Gargantuists
• 4:32:48
  Speaker 1: had won the town upon them, and that they were
• 4:32:50
  Speaker 1: like to be secure in no corner of it, submitted
• 4:32:52
  Speaker 1: themselves unto the mercy of the monk, and asked for quarter,
• 4:32:56
  Speaker 1: which the monk very nobly granted to them, yet made
• 4:32:58
  Speaker 1: them lay down their arms, then shutting them up within churches,
• 4:33:03
  Speaker 1: gave order to seize upon all the staves of the crosses,
• 4:33:06
  Speaker 1: and placed men at the doors to keep them from
• 4:33:09
  Speaker 1: coming forth. Then opening that east gate, he issued out
• 4:33:13
  Speaker 1: to succor and assist Gargantua. But Pickrickole, thinking it had
• 4:33:17
  Speaker 1: been some relief coming to him from the town, adventured
• 4:33:20
  Speaker 1: more forwardly than before, and was upon the giving of
• 4:33:23
  Speaker 1: a most desperate home charge, when Gargantua cried out, Friar John,
• 4:33:27
  Speaker 1: my friend, Friar John, you are come in a good hour,
• 4:33:31
  Speaker 1: which unexpected accident so affrighted pickrickoal and his men, that,
• 4:33:35
  Speaker 1: giving all for lost, they betook themselves to their heels
• 4:33:39
  Speaker 1: and fled on all hands. Gargantua chased them till they
• 4:33:43
  Speaker 1: came near to Vagaudry, killing and slaying all the way,
• 4:33:46
  Speaker 1: and then sounded the retreat Chapter one dot, forty nine dot.
• 4:33:51
  Speaker 1: How pickrickoal in his flight fell into great misfortunes, and
• 4:33:55
  Speaker 1: what Gargantua did after the battle. Pickrickoal Thus, in despair,
• 4:34:00
  Speaker 1: fled towards the Bouchard Island, and in the way to
• 4:34:02
  Speaker 1: Revere his horse stumbled and fell down whereat he on
• 4:34:05
  Speaker 1: a sudden was so incensed that he, with his sword
• 4:34:08
  Speaker 1: without more ado, killed him in his collar. Then, not
• 4:34:12
  Speaker 1: finding any that would remount him, he was about to
• 4:34:15
  Speaker 1: have taken an ass at the mill that was thereby,
• 4:34:17
  Speaker 1: but the miller's men did so baste his bones and
• 4:34:20
  Speaker 1: so soundly bethwhack him that they made him both black
• 4:34:22
  Speaker 1: and blue with strokes. Then, stripping him of all his clothes,
• 4:34:26
  Speaker 1: gave him a scurvy old canvas jacket, wherewith to cover
• 4:34:29
  Speaker 1: his nakedness. Thus went along this poor choleric wretch, who,
• 4:34:34
  Speaker 1: passing the water at port Walk's and relating his misadventurous disasters,
• 4:34:38
  Speaker 1: was foretold by an old lepidan hag that his kingdom
• 4:34:41
  Speaker 1: should be restored to him at the coming of the Cochlecranes,
• 4:34:44
  Speaker 1: which he called Coca cigrus. What is become of him?
• 4:34:47
  Speaker 1: Since we cannot certainly tell yet? Was I told that
• 4:34:50
  Speaker 1: he is now a porter at Lyons, as testy and
• 4:34:53
  Speaker 1: pettish in humor as ever he was before, and would
• 4:34:56
  Speaker 1: be always with great lamentation, inquiring at all strangers of
• 4:34:59
  Speaker 1: the coming of the Cochlcranes, expecting assuredly, according to the
• 4:35:03
  Speaker 1: old woman's prophecy, that at their coming he shall be
• 4:35:06
  Speaker 1: re established in his kingdom. The first thing Gargantua did
• 4:35:10
  Speaker 1: after his return into the town was to call the
• 4:35:13
  Speaker 1: muster roll of his men, which when he had done,
• 4:35:15
  Speaker 1: he found that there were very few either killed or wounded,
• 4:35:18
  Speaker 1: only some few foot of Captain Tolmer's company and Ponocrates,
• 4:35:23
  Speaker 1: who was shot with a musket ball through the doublet.
• 4:35:26
  Speaker 1: Then he caused them all at and in their several
• 4:35:28
  Speaker 1: posts and divisions, to take a little refreshment, which was
• 4:35:31
  Speaker 1: very plenteously provided for them in the best drink and
• 4:35:34
  Speaker 1: victuals that could be had for money, and gave order
• 4:35:37
  Speaker 1: to the treasurers and commissaries of the army to pay
• 4:35:40
  Speaker 1: foreign defray that were passed, and that there should be
• 4:35:43
  Speaker 1: no outrage yet all nor abuse committed in the town,
• 4:35:46
  Speaker 1: seeing it was his own, And furthermore commanded that immediately
• 4:35:51
  Speaker 1: after the soldiers had done with eating and drinking for
• 4:35:53
  Speaker 1: that time sufficiently and to their own heart's desire, a
• 4:35:56
  Speaker 1: gathering should be beaten for bringing them altogether to be
• 4:35:59
  Speaker 1: drawn up on them piazza before the castle there, to
• 4:36:02
  Speaker 1: receive six months pay completely all which was done after
• 4:36:07
  Speaker 1: this by his direction, were brought before him in the
• 4:36:10
  Speaker 1: said place, all those that remained of Piccrickole's party, unto whom,
• 4:36:14
  Speaker 1: in the presence of the princes, nobles, and officers of
• 4:36:17
  Speaker 1: his court and army, he spoke as followeth Chapter one
• 4:36:21
  Speaker 1: dot al dot gargantuous speech to the vanquished. Our forefathers
• 4:36:26
  Speaker 1: and ancestors of all times have been of this nature
• 4:36:28
  Speaker 1: and disposition, that upon the winning of a battle, they
• 4:36:32
  Speaker 1: have chosen rather for a sign and memorial of their
• 4:36:35
  Speaker 1: triumphs and victories, to erect trophies and monuments in the
• 4:36:38
  Speaker 1: hearts of the vanquished by clemency than by architecture in
• 4:36:41
  Speaker 1: the lands which they had conquered. For they did hold
• 4:36:44
  Speaker 1: in greater estimation the lively remembrance of men purchased by
• 4:36:48
  Speaker 1: liberality than the dumb inscription of arches, pillars and pyramids,
• 4:36:52
  Speaker 1: subject to the injury of storms and tempests, and to
• 4:36:55
  Speaker 1: the envy of every one. You may very well remember
• 4:36:59
  Speaker 1: of the courtesy which by them was used towards the
• 4:37:01
  Speaker 1: Bretons in the Battle of Saint Aubin of Cormier, and
• 4:37:04
  Speaker 1: at the demolishing of Pardonay. You have heard, and hearing
• 4:37:08
  Speaker 1: admire their gentle comportment towards those at the barriers, the
• 4:37:12
  Speaker 1: barbarians of Spaniola, who had plundered, wasted, and ransacked the
• 4:37:17
  Speaker 1: maritime borders of Alone and Thalmondois. All this hemisphere of
• 4:37:21
  Speaker 1: the world was filled with the praises and congratulations which
• 4:37:24
  Speaker 1: yourselves and your fathers made. When Alfarble, King of Cannar,
• 4:37:28
  Speaker 1: not satisfied with his own fortunes, did most furiously invade
• 4:37:32
  Speaker 1: the land of Onyx, and with cruel piracies, molest all
• 4:37:35
  Speaker 1: the Armoric islands and confined regions of Brittany. Yet was he,
• 4:37:40
  Speaker 1: in a set naval fight, justly taken and vanquished by
• 4:37:43
  Speaker 1: my father, whom God preserve and protect. But what whereas
• 4:37:48
  Speaker 1: other kings and emperors, yea, those who entitle themselves Catholics,
• 4:37:52
  Speaker 1: would have dealt roughly with him, kept him a close prisoner,
• 4:37:55
  Speaker 1: and put him to an extreme high ransom. He entreated
• 4:37:58
  Speaker 1: him very courteously, lodged him kindly with himself in his
• 4:38:02
  Speaker 1: own palace, and out of his incredible mildness and gentle disposition,
• 4:38:06
  Speaker 1: sent him back with a safe conduct, laden with gifts,
• 4:38:09
  Speaker 1: laden with favors, laden with all offices of friendship what
• 4:38:14
  Speaker 1: fell out upon it being returned into his country, he
• 4:38:18
  Speaker 1: called a parliament, where all the princes and states of
• 4:38:20
  Speaker 1: his kingdom being assembled, he showed them the humanity which
• 4:38:23
  Speaker 1: he had found in us, and therefore wished them to
• 4:38:26
  Speaker 1: take such course by way of compensation therein, as that
• 4:38:29
  Speaker 1: the whole world might be edified by the example, as
• 4:38:33
  Speaker 1: well of their honest graciousness to us, as of our
• 4:38:35
  Speaker 1: gracious honesty towards them. The result hereof was that it
• 4:38:39
  Speaker 1: was voted and decreed by an unanimous consent, that they
• 4:38:42
  Speaker 1: should offer up entirely their lands, dominions and kingdoms, to
• 4:38:47
  Speaker 1: be disposed of by us according to our pleasure. Alfarble
• 4:38:51
  Speaker 1: and his own person presently returned with nine thousand thirty
• 4:38:54
  Speaker 1: eight great ships of Burton, bringing with him the treasures
• 4:38:57
  Speaker 1: not only of his house and royal lineage, but almost
• 4:39:00
  Speaker 1: of all the country besides. For he embarking himself to
• 4:39:04
  Speaker 1: set sail with a west northeast wind, everyone in heaps
• 4:39:08
  Speaker 1: did cast into the ship gold, silver rings, jewels, spices,
• 4:39:13
  Speaker 1: drugs and aromatical perfumes, parrots, pelicans, monkeys, civit cats, black
• 4:39:19
  Speaker 1: spotted weasels, porcupines, and sea he was accounted no good
• 4:39:24
  Speaker 1: mother's son that did not cast in all the rare
• 4:39:26
  Speaker 1: and precious things he had. Being safely arrived, he came
• 4:39:30
  Speaker 1: to my said father and would have kissed his feet.
• 4:39:34
  Speaker 1: That action was found too submissively low, and therefore was
• 4:39:37
  Speaker 1: not permitted. But in exchange he was most cordially embraced.
• 4:39:41
  Speaker 1: He offered his presents. They were not received because they
• 4:39:45
  Speaker 1: were too excessive. He yielded himself voluntarily a servant and vassal,
• 4:39:49
  Speaker 1: and was content his whole posterity should be liable to
• 4:39:52
  Speaker 1: the same bondage. This was not accepted of because it
• 4:39:55
  Speaker 1: seemed not equitable. He surrendered, by virtue of the decree
• 4:39:59
  Speaker 1: of his Great Parliamentary Council, his whole countries and kingdoms
• 4:40:03
  Speaker 1: to him, offering the deed and conveyance, signed, sealed, and
• 4:40:07
  Speaker 1: ratified by all those that were concerned in it. This
• 4:40:10
  Speaker 1: was altogether refused, and the parchments cast into the fire.
• 4:40:15
  Speaker 1: In end, this free good will and simple meaning of
• 4:40:17
  Speaker 1: the Canarians wrought such tenderness in my father's heart that
• 4:40:20
  Speaker 1: he could not abstain from shedding tears, and wept most profusely. Then,
• 4:40:25
  Speaker 1: by choice words very congruously adapted strove in what he
• 4:40:28
  Speaker 1: could to diminish the estimation of the good offices which
• 4:40:31
  Speaker 1: he had done them, saying that any courtesy he had
• 4:40:35
  Speaker 1: conferred upon them was not worth a rush, and what
• 4:40:37
  Speaker 1: favors soever he had showed them, he was bound to
• 4:40:40
  Speaker 1: do it. But so much the more did al farbele
• 4:40:43
  Speaker 1: augment the repute thereof what was the issue. Whereas for
• 4:40:48
  Speaker 1: his ransom, in the greatest extremity of rigor and most
• 4:40:51
  Speaker 1: tyrannical dealing, could not have been exacted above twenty times
• 4:40:54
  Speaker 1: a hundred thousand crowns, and his eldest sons detained as
• 4:40:58
  Speaker 1: hostages till that some had been paid. They made themselves
• 4:41:01
  Speaker 1: perpetual tributaries, and obliged to give us every year two
• 4:41:05
  Speaker 1: millions of gold at four and twenty carets fine. The
• 4:41:09
  Speaker 1: first year we received the whole sum of two millions.
• 4:41:12
  Speaker 1: The second year, of their own accord, they paid freely
• 4:41:15
  Speaker 1: to us three and twenty hundred thousand crowns, the third
• 4:41:18
  Speaker 1: year six and twenty hundred thousand, the fourth year three millions,
• 4:41:24
  Speaker 1: and do so increase it always out of their own
• 4:41:26
  Speaker 1: good will, that we shall be constrained to forbid them
• 4:41:28
  Speaker 1: to bring us any more. This is the nature of
• 4:41:31
  Speaker 1: gratitude and true thankfulness for time, which gnawse and diminisheth
• 4:41:37
  Speaker 1: all things else augments and increaseeth benefits. Because a noble
• 4:41:41
  Speaker 1: action of liberality done to a man of reason doth
• 4:41:44
  Speaker 1: grow continually by his generous thinking of it and remembering it.
• 4:41:48
  Speaker 1: Being unwilling therefore any way to degenerate from the hereditary
• 4:41:51
  Speaker 1: mildness and clemency of my parents, I do now forgive you,
• 4:41:55
  Speaker 1: deliver you from all fines and imprisonments, fully release you,
• 4:41:58
  Speaker 1: set you at liberty, and every way make you as
• 4:42:01
  Speaker 1: frank and free as ever you were before. Moreover, at
• 4:42:05
  Speaker 1: your going out of the gate, you shall have every
• 4:42:07
  Speaker 1: one of you three months paid to bring you home
• 4:42:09
  Speaker 1: into your houses and families, and shall have a safe
• 4:42:12
  Speaker 1: convoy of six hundred quirass years and eight thousand foot
• 4:42:15
  Speaker 1: under the conduct of Alexander Esquire of my body, that
• 4:42:18
  Speaker 1: the club men of the country may not do you
• 4:42:20
  Speaker 1: any injury. God be with you. I am sorry for
• 4:42:25
  Speaker 1: my heart that Piccrickal is not here, for I would
• 4:42:28
  Speaker 1: have given him to understand that this war was undertaken
• 4:42:30
  Speaker 1: against my will and without any hope to increase either
• 4:42:33
  Speaker 1: my goods or renown. But seeing he is lost, and
• 4:42:37
  Speaker 1: that no man can tell where nor how he went away,
• 4:42:40
  Speaker 1: it is my will that his kingdom remain entire to
• 4:42:42
  Speaker 1: his son, who, because he is too young, he not
• 4:42:45
  Speaker 1: being yet full five years old, shall be brought up
• 4:42:48
  Speaker 1: and instructed by the ancient princes and learned men of
• 4:42:50
  Speaker 1: the kingdom. And because a realm thus desolate may easily
• 4:42:54
  Speaker 1: come to ruin, if the covetousness and avarice of those who,
• 4:42:57
  Speaker 1: by their places are obliged to administer justice in it
• 4:43:00
  Speaker 1: be not curbed and restrained, I ordain and will have
• 4:43:03
  Speaker 1: it so that Poncrates be overseer and superintendent above all
• 4:43:07
  Speaker 1: his governors, with whatever power and authority is requisite there too,
• 4:43:12
  Speaker 1: and that he be continually with the child until he
• 4:43:14
  Speaker 1: find him able and capable to rule and govern by himself.
• 4:43:18
  Speaker 1: Now I must tell you that you are to understand
• 4:43:21
  Speaker 1: how a too feeble and dissolute facility in pardoning evil
• 4:43:24
  Speaker 1: doers giveth them occasion to commit wickedness afterwards, more readily,
• 4:43:28
  Speaker 1: upon this pernicious confidence of receiving favor, I consider that Moses,
• 4:43:33
  Speaker 1: the meekest man that was in his time, upon the
• 4:43:35
  Speaker 1: earth did severely punish the mutinous and seditious people of Israel.
• 4:43:40
  Speaker 1: I consider likewise that Julius Caesar, who was so gracious
• 4:43:44
  Speaker 1: an emperor that Cicero said of him that his fortune
• 4:43:47
  Speaker 1: had nothing more excellent than that he could, and his
• 4:43:49
  Speaker 1: virtue nothing better than that he would always save and
• 4:43:52
  Speaker 1: pardon every man. He, notwithstanding all this, did in certain
• 4:43:56
  Speaker 1: places most rigorously punish the authors of rebellion. After the
• 4:44:00
  Speaker 1: example of these good men, it is my will and
• 4:44:03
  Speaker 1: pleasure that you deliver over unto me before you depart. Hence,
• 4:44:06
  Speaker 1: first that fine fellow Marquis, who was the prime cause, origin,
• 4:44:11
  Speaker 1: and groundwork of this warp by his vain presumption and overweening.
• 4:44:14
  Speaker 1: Secondly his fellow cake bakers, who were neglective in checking
• 4:44:19
  Speaker 1: and reprehending his idle hair brained humor in the instant time.
• 4:44:23
  Speaker 1: And lastly all the councilors, captains, officers, and domestics of Piccrickal,
• 4:44:28
  Speaker 1: who have been incendiaries or fomenters of the warp, by provoking, praising,
• 4:44:32
  Speaker 1: or counseling him to come out of his limits, thus
• 4:44:35
  Speaker 1: to trouble us Chapter one dot ally dot how the
• 4:44:40
  Speaker 1: victorious Gargantuists were recompensed after the battle. When Gargantua had
• 4:44:45
  Speaker 1: finished his speech, the seditious men whom he required were
• 4:44:48
  Speaker 1: delivered up unto him, except Swashbuckler, dirt Tail, and small Trash,
• 4:44:53
  Speaker 1: who ran away six hours before the battle, one of
• 4:44:56
  Speaker 1: them as far as to lanial Neck at one course,
• 4:44:58
  Speaker 1: another to the Valley of Fire, and the third even
• 4:45:02
  Speaker 1: unto lawgrowen without looking back or taking breath by the way,
• 4:45:06
  Speaker 1: and two of the cake bakers, who were slain in
• 4:45:08
  Speaker 1: the fight. Gargantua did them no other hurt, but that
• 4:45:12
  Speaker 1: he appointed them to pull at the presses of his
• 4:45:14
  Speaker 1: printing house, which he had newly set up. Then those
• 4:45:17
  Speaker 1: who died there he caused to be honorably buried in
• 4:45:20
  Speaker 1: black Soil Valley and burn Hagfield, and gave order that
• 4:45:23
  Speaker 1: the wounded should be dressed and had care of in
• 4:45:25
  Speaker 1: his great hospital or Nosocombe. After this, considering the great
• 4:45:30
  Speaker 1: prejudice done to the town and its inhabitants, he reimbursed
• 4:45:34
  Speaker 1: their charges and repaired all the losses that, by their
• 4:45:36
  Speaker 1: confession upon oath could appear they had sustained, and for
• 4:45:40
  Speaker 1: their better defense and security in times coming against all
• 4:45:43
  Speaker 1: sudden uproars and invasions, commanded a strong citadel to be
• 4:45:48
  Speaker 1: built there, with a competent garrison to maintain it. At
• 4:45:52
  Speaker 1: his departure, he did very graciously thank all the soldiers
• 4:45:55
  Speaker 1: of the brigades that had been at this overthrow, and
• 4:45:57
  Speaker 1: sent them back to their winter quarters in their seventh
• 4:46:00
  Speaker 1: stations and garrisons. The decument legion only excepted whom in
• 4:46:05
  Speaker 1: the field on that day he saw doue some great exploit,
• 4:46:08
  Speaker 1: and their captains also, whom he brought along with himself.
• 4:46:11
  Speaker 1: Unto Grangisier, at the sight and coming of them, the
• 4:46:14
  Speaker 1: good Man was so joyful that it is not possible
• 4:46:17
  Speaker 1: fully to describe it. He made them a feast, the
• 4:46:21
  Speaker 1: most magnificent, plentiful, and delicious that ever was seen since
• 4:46:25
  Speaker 1: the time of the King a Hazuurus. At the taking
• 4:46:28
  Speaker 1: up of the table, he distributed amongst them his whole
• 4:46:31
  Speaker 1: cupboard of plate, which weighed eight hundred thousand, fourteen beeasants.
• 4:46:34
  Speaker 1: Each besant is worth five pounds English money of gold,
• 4:46:38
  Speaker 1: in great antique vessels, huge pots, large basins, big tasses, cups, goblets, candlesticks,
• 4:46:45
  Speaker 1: comfort boxes, and other such plate, all of pure massy gold,
• 4:46:50
  Speaker 1: besides the precious stones, enameling, and workmanship, which by all
• 4:46:54
  Speaker 1: men's estimation was more worth than the matter of the gold. Then,
• 4:46:59
  Speaker 1: unto every one of them, them out of his coffers,
• 4:47:01
  Speaker 1: caused he to be given the sum of twelve hundred
• 4:47:03
  Speaker 1: thousand crowns ready money. And further he gave to each
• 4:47:07
  Speaker 1: of them forever and in perpetuity, unless he should happen
• 4:47:11
  Speaker 1: to decease without heirs. Such castles and neighboring lands of
• 4:47:15
  Speaker 1: his as were most commodious for them to poncrates. He
• 4:47:18
  Speaker 1: gave the rock Clermand to Gymnast, the Cudre, to Ydemon Montpensier, Rivaux,
• 4:47:24
  Speaker 1: to Tolmer, to ithabol Monsro, to a Commas, Canned Varans,
• 4:47:29
  Speaker 1: to cayronact Gravit, to Sebaste, Quinquinayes, to Alexander Liger, to Saffron,
• 4:47:36
  Speaker 1: and so of his other places. Chapter one Dot I
• 4:47:40
  Speaker 1: I dot. How Gargantua caused to be built for the
• 4:47:44
  Speaker 1: monk the Abbey of Feline. There was left only the
• 4:47:47
  Speaker 1: monk to provide, for whom Gargantua would have made abbot
• 4:47:50
  Speaker 1: of Seville, but he refused it. He would have given
• 4:47:54
  Speaker 1: him the abbey of Bourgwale or of sank Florent, which
• 4:47:57
  Speaker 1: was better, or both, if it pleased him. But the
• 4:48:00
  Speaker 1: monk gave him a very peremptory answer that he would
• 4:48:03
  Speaker 1: never take upon him the charge nor government of monks.
• 4:48:06
  Speaker 1: For how shall I be able, said he, to rule
• 4:48:09
  Speaker 1: over others that have not full power and command of myself.
• 4:48:13
  Speaker 1: If you think I have done you, or may hereafter
• 4:48:16
  Speaker 1: do any acceptable service, give me leave to found an
• 4:48:19
  Speaker 1: abbey after my own mind and fancy. The motion pleased
• 4:48:23
  Speaker 1: Gargantua very well, who thereupon offered him all the country
• 4:48:26
  Speaker 1: of Feeling by the river of Lawyer, till within two
• 4:48:29
  Speaker 1: leagues of the great forest of port Walks. The monk
• 4:48:32
  Speaker 1: then requested Gargantua to institute his religious order contrary to
• 4:48:36
  Speaker 1: all others. First, then said Gargantua, you must not build
• 4:48:41
  Speaker 1: a wall about your convent, for all other abbeys are
• 4:48:44
  Speaker 1: strongly walled and neared about, see, said the monk, And
• 4:48:48
  Speaker 1: not without cause, seeing wall and more signify but one
• 4:48:52
  Speaker 1: and the same thing. Where there is more before and
• 4:48:55
  Speaker 1: more behind, there is store of murmur, envy, and mutual conspiracy. Moreover,
• 4:49:01
  Speaker 1: seeing there are certain convents in the world whereof the
• 4:49:03
  Speaker 1: custom is if any woman come in, I mean chaste
• 4:49:07
  Speaker 1: and honest women, they immediately sweep the ground which they
• 4:49:10
  Speaker 1: have trod upon. Therefore was it ordained that if any
• 4:49:13
  Speaker 1: man or woman entered into religious orders should by chance
• 4:49:16
  Speaker 1: come within this new abbey, all the rooms should be
• 4:49:20
  Speaker 1: thoroughly washed and cleansed through which they had passed. And
• 4:49:24
  Speaker 1: because in all other monasteries and nunneries all is compassed,
• 4:49:27
  Speaker 1: limited and regulated by hours, it was decreed that in
• 4:49:30
  Speaker 1: this new structure there should be neither clock nor dial,
• 4:49:34
  Speaker 1: but that, according to the opportunities and incident occasions, all
• 4:49:37
  Speaker 1: their hours should be disposed of. For said Gargantua, the
• 4:49:41
  Speaker 1: greatest loss of time that I know is to count
• 4:49:44
  Speaker 1: the hours. What good comes of it? Nor can there
• 4:49:48
  Speaker 1: be any greater dotage in the world than for one
• 4:49:50
  Speaker 1: to guide and direct his courses by the sound of
• 4:49:53
  Speaker 1: a bell, and not by his own judgment and discretion.
• 4:49:57
  Speaker 1: Item Because at that time they put no women into nunneries,
• 4:50:00
  Speaker 1: but such as were either purblind, blinkereds lame, crooked, ill favored,
• 4:50:05
  Speaker 1: misshapen fools, senseless, spoiled or corrupt, nor encloistered any men,
• 4:50:11
  Speaker 1: but those that were either sickly, subject to defluctions, ill
• 4:50:14
  Speaker 1: bred louts, simple sots, or peevish trouble houses. But to
• 4:50:19
  Speaker 1: the purpose, said the monk, a woman that is neither
• 4:50:23
  Speaker 1: fair nor good to what you serve, she to make
• 4:50:26
  Speaker 1: a nun of, said Gargantua. Yea, said the monk, and
• 4:50:31
  Speaker 1: to make shirts and smocks. Therefore was it ordained that
• 4:50:35
  Speaker 1: into this religious order should be admitted no women that
• 4:50:37
  Speaker 1: were not fair, well featured, and of a sweet disposition,
• 4:50:41
  Speaker 1: nor men that were not comely, personable and well conditioned. Item.
• 4:50:46
  Speaker 1: Because in the convents of women, men come not but underhand, privily,
• 4:50:50
  Speaker 1: and by stealth. It was therefore enacted that in this
• 4:50:53
  Speaker 1: house there shall be no women in case there be
• 4:50:55
  Speaker 1: not men, nor men in case there be not women. Item.
• 4:50:59
  Speaker 1: Because as both men and women that are received into
• 4:51:02
  Speaker 1: religious orders after the expiring of their novitiate or probation year,
• 4:51:05
  Speaker 1: were constrained and forced perpetually to stay there all the
• 4:51:08
  Speaker 1: days of their life, it was therefore ordered that all
• 4:51:11
  Speaker 1: whatever men or women admitted within this abbey should have
• 4:51:15
  Speaker 1: full leave to depart with peace and contentment, whensoever it
• 4:51:18
  Speaker 1: should seem good to them so to do. Item. For
• 4:51:22
  Speaker 1: that the religious men and women did ordinarily make three
• 4:51:25
  Speaker 1: vows to wit, those of chastity, poverty, and obedience. It
• 4:51:30
  Speaker 1: was therefore constituted and appointed that in this convent they
• 4:51:33
  Speaker 1: might be honorably married, that they might be rich and
• 4:51:37
  Speaker 1: live at liberty. In regard of the legitimate time of
• 4:51:40
  Speaker 1: the persons to be initiated, and years under and above
• 4:51:43
  Speaker 1: which they were not capable of reception. The women were

  Speaker 1: from twelve till eighteen Chapter one DOLII dot. How the
• 4:51:54
  Speaker 1: Abbey of the Phelamites was built and endowed. For the
• 4:51:57
  Speaker 1: fabric and furniture of the abbey, Gargante Tua caused to
• 4:52:00
  Speaker 1: be delivered out in ready money seven and twenty hundred thousand,
• 4:52:04
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and one and thirty of those golden rams
• 4:52:06
  Speaker 1: of berry, which have a sheep stamped on the one
• 4:52:09
  Speaker 1: side and a flowered cross on the other. And for
• 4:52:11
  Speaker 1: every year until the whole work were completed, he allotted
• 4:52:16
  Speaker 1: threescore nine thousand crowns of the sun and as many
• 4:52:19
  Speaker 1: of the seven stars, to be charged, all upon the
• 4:52:22
  Speaker 1: receipt of the custom, for the foundation and maintenance thereof
• 4:52:26
  Speaker 1: forever he settled a perpetual fee farm rent of three
• 4:52:29
  Speaker 1: and twenty hundred threescore and nine thousand, five hundred and
• 4:52:33
  Speaker 1: fourteen rose nobles, exempted from all homage, fealty, service, or
• 4:52:38
  Speaker 1: burden whatsoever, and payable every year at the gate of
• 4:52:41
  Speaker 1: the abbey. And of this by letters patent passed a
• 4:52:45
  Speaker 1: very good grant. The architecture was in a figure hexagonal,
• 4:52:49
  Speaker 1: and in such a fashion that in every one of
• 4:52:51
  Speaker 1: the six corners there was built a great round tower
• 4:52:54
  Speaker 1: of threescore foot in diameter, and were all of a
• 4:52:57
  Speaker 1: like form and bigness. Upon the north side ran along
• 4:53:01
  Speaker 1: the river of Lawyer, on the bank whereof was situated
• 4:53:04
  Speaker 1: the tower called Arctic. Going towards the east there was
• 4:53:08
  Speaker 1: another called Collar, the next following Anatole, the next Mazembron,
• 4:53:12
  Speaker 1: the next Asperia, and the last Creere. Every tower was
• 4:53:16
  Speaker 1: distant from other the space of three hundred and twelve paces.
• 4:53:20
  Speaker 1: The whole edifice was everywhere six stories high, reckoning the
• 4:53:24
  Speaker 1: cellars underground for one. The second was arched after the
• 4:53:27
  Speaker 1: fashion of a basket handle. The rest were sealed with
• 4:53:30
  Speaker 1: pure wainscot flourished with Flanders fretwork. In the form of
• 4:53:34
  Speaker 1: the foot of a lamp, and covered above with fine
• 4:53:37
  Speaker 1: slates with an endorsement of lead, carrying the antique figures
• 4:53:41
  Speaker 1: of little puppets and animals of all sorts, notably well
• 4:53:44
  Speaker 1: suited to one another, and gilt, together with the gutters, which,
• 4:53:48
  Speaker 1: jutting without the walls, from betwixt the crossbars in a
• 4:53:51
  Speaker 1: diagonal figure painted with gold and azure, reached to the
• 4:53:54
  Speaker 1: very ground, where they ended into great conduit pipes, which
• 4:53:59
  Speaker 1: carried all away unto the river from under the house.
• 4:54:02
  Speaker 1: This same building was a hundred times more sumptuous and
• 4:54:05
  Speaker 1: magnificent than ever was bonavette Chambourg or Chantilly, for there
• 4:54:10
  Speaker 1: were in it nine thousand, three hundred and two and
• 4:54:12
  Speaker 1: thirty chambers, every one whereof had a withdrawing room, a
• 4:54:15
  Speaker 1: handsome closet, a wardrobe, an oratory, a neat passage leading
• 4:54:21
  Speaker 1: into a great and spacious hull between every tower. In
• 4:54:25
  Speaker 1: the midst of the said body of building there was
• 4:54:27
  Speaker 1: a pair of winding such as we now call lantern stairs,
• 4:54:30
  Speaker 1: whereof the steps were part of porphyry, which is a
• 4:54:33
  Speaker 1: dark red marble spotted with white part of namidian stone,
• 4:54:37
  Speaker 1: which is a kind of yellowishly streaked marble upon various colors,
• 4:54:41
  Speaker 1: and part of serpentine marble with light spots on a
• 4:54:44
  Speaker 1: dark green ground. Each of those steps being two and
• 4:54:47
  Speaker 1: twenty foot in length and three fingers thick, and the
• 4:54:50
  Speaker 1: just number of twelve betwixt every rest or, as we
• 4:54:53
  Speaker 1: now term it landing place. In every resting place were
• 4:54:57
  Speaker 1: two fair antique arches where the light came men, and
• 4:55:00
  Speaker 1: by those they went into a cabinet made even with
• 4:55:03
  Speaker 1: and of the breadth of the said winding, and the
• 4:55:05
  Speaker 1: reascending above the roofs of the house ended conically in
• 4:55:08
  Speaker 1: a pavilion. By that vice or winding, they entered on
• 4:55:12
  Speaker 1: every side into a great hall, and from the halls
• 4:55:15
  Speaker 1: into the chambers. From the Arctic tower unto the creere
• 4:55:19
  Speaker 1: were the fair great libraries in Greek, Latin, Hebrew, French, Italian,
• 4:55:24
  Speaker 1: and Spanish, respectively, distributed in their several cantons according to
• 4:55:28
  Speaker 1: the diversity of these languages. In the midst there was
• 4:55:32
  Speaker 1: a wonderful scalier or winding stair, the entry whereof was
• 4:55:35
  Speaker 1: without the house, in a vault or arched six fathom broad.
• 4:55:40
  Speaker 1: It was made in such symmetry and largeness that six
• 4:55:42
  Speaker 1: men at arms, with their lances in their rests, might
• 4:55:45
  Speaker 1: together in a breast ride all up to the very
• 4:55:47
  Speaker 1: top of all the palace. From the tower Anatole to
• 4:55:51
  Speaker 1: the Mizembran were fair, spacious galleries, all colored over and
• 4:55:54
  Speaker 1: painted with the ancient prowesses, histories, and descriptions of the world.
• 4:56:00
  Speaker 1: In the midst thereof there was likewise such another ascent
• 4:56:03
  Speaker 1: and gait, as we said there was on the river side.
• 4:56:06
  Speaker 1: Upon that gait was written in great antique letters, that
• 4:56:09

• 5:01:13
  Speaker 1: dot l v dot. What manner of dwelling the Thelamites had?
• 5:01:19
  Speaker 1: In the middle of the lower court, There was a
• 5:01:20
  Speaker 1: stately fountain of fair alabaster. Upon the top. Thereof stood
• 5:01:25
  Speaker 1: the three Graces with their cornucopias or horns of abundance,
• 5:01:29
  Speaker 1: and did jet out the water at their breasts, mouth, ears, eyes,
• 5:01:33
  Speaker 1: and other open passages of the body. The inside of
• 5:01:37
  Speaker 1: the buildings in this lower court stood upon great pillars
• 5:01:40
  Speaker 1: of chalcedony stone and porphyry marble made archways after a
• 5:01:44
  Speaker 1: goodly antique fashion. Within those were spacious galleries, long and large,
• 5:01:49
  Speaker 1: adorned with curious pictures, the horns of bucks and unicorns
• 5:01:53
  Speaker 1: with rhinoceroses, water horses called hippopotanes, the teeth and tusks
• 5:01:58
  Speaker 1: of elephants, and other things well worth the beholding. The
• 5:02:02
  Speaker 1: lodging of the ladies, for so we may call those
• 5:02:05
  Speaker 1: gallant women took up all from the tower Arctic unto
• 5:02:08
  Speaker 1: the gate Mezembren. The men possessed the rest before the
• 5:02:13
  Speaker 1: said lodging of the ladies, that they might have their recreation.
• 5:02:16
  Speaker 1: Between the two first towers on the outside were placed
• 5:02:20
  Speaker 1: the tilt yard, the barriers or lists for tournaments, the
• 5:02:23
  Speaker 1: hippodrome or riding court, the theater or public playhouse, and
• 5:02:27
  Speaker 1: natatory or place to swim in with most admirable baths
• 5:02:31
  Speaker 1: in three stages, situated above one another, while furnished with
• 5:02:35
  Speaker 1: all necessary accommodation and store of myrtle water. By the
• 5:02:40
  Speaker 1: river side, was the fair garden of pleasure, and in
• 5:02:42
  Speaker 1: the midst of that the glorious labyrinth. Between the two
• 5:02:46
  Speaker 1: other towers were the courts for the tennis and the balloon.
• 5:02:50
  Speaker 1: Towards the tower creare stood the orchard full of all
• 5:02:53
  Speaker 1: fruit trees, set and ranged in a quincunchial order. At
• 5:02:57
  Speaker 1: the end of that was the great park, abounding with
• 5:02:59
  Speaker 1: all sort of venison. Betwixt the third couple of towers
• 5:03:03
  Speaker 1: were the butts and marks for shooting with a snapwork gun,
• 5:03:07
  Speaker 1: an ordinary bow for common archery, or with a crossbow.
• 5:03:11
  Speaker 1: The office houses were without the tower hesperia, of one
• 5:03:15
  Speaker 1: story high. The stables were beyond the offices, and before
• 5:03:19
  Speaker 1: them stood the falconry, managed by ostrich keepers and falconers,
• 5:03:23
  Speaker 1: very expert in the art, and it was yearly supplied
• 5:03:26
  Speaker 1: and furnished by the Candians. Venetians sarmtes now called Muscaviders,
• 5:03:31
  Speaker 1: with all sorts of most excellent hawks, eagles, gerfalcons, goshawks, sakers, lanners, falcons,
• 5:03:39
  Speaker 1: sparrow hawks, marlins, and other kinds of them so gentle
• 5:03:43
  Speaker 1: and perfectly well manned, that flying of themselves sometimes from
• 5:03:46
  Speaker 1: the castle for their own desport, they would not fail
• 5:03:49
  Speaker 1: to catch whatever they encountered. The Veneri, where the beagles
• 5:03:53
  Speaker 1: and hounds were kept, was a little farther off, drawing
• 5:03:56
  Speaker 1: towards the park. All the hulls, chainimbers and closets or
• 5:04:01
  Speaker 1: cabinets were richly hung with tapestry in hangings of divers
• 5:04:04
  Speaker 1: sorts according to the variety of the seasons of the year.
• 5:04:08
  Speaker 1: All the pavements and floors were covered with green cloth,
• 5:04:12
  Speaker 1: the beds were all embroidered. In every back chamber or
• 5:04:16
  Speaker 1: with drawing room, there was a looking glass of pure
• 5:04:18
  Speaker 1: crystal set in a frame of fine gold, garnished all
• 5:04:22
  Speaker 1: about with pearls, and was of such greatness that it
• 5:04:24
  Speaker 1: would represent to the full the whole lineaments and proportion
• 5:04:27
  Speaker 1: of the person that stood before it. At the going
• 5:04:30
  Speaker 1: out of the halls which belonged to the ladies lodgings
• 5:04:33
  Speaker 1: were the perfumers and trimmers, through whose hands the gallons
• 5:04:36
  Speaker 1: passed when they were to visit the ladies. Those sweet
• 5:04:39
  Speaker 1: artificers did every morning furnish the ladies chambers with the
• 5:04:42
  Speaker 1: spirit of roses, orange, flower, water, and angelica, and to
• 5:04:47
  Speaker 1: each of them gave a little precious casket, vaporing forth
• 5:04:49
  Speaker 1: the most odoriferous exhalations of the choicest aromatical sense. Chapter
• 5:04:55
  Speaker 1: one dot lvii dot. How the men and women of
• 5:04:59
  Speaker 1: the religious order of Feeling were appareled the ladies. At
• 5:05:02
  Speaker 1: the foundation of this order were appareled after their own
• 5:05:05
  Speaker 1: pleasure in liking, but since that of their own accord
• 5:05:08
  Speaker 1: and free will, they have reformed themselves. Their accouterment is
• 5:05:11
  Speaker 1: in manner as followeth. They wore stockings of scarlet, crimson,
• 5:05:16
  Speaker 1: or in grained purple dye, which reached just three inches
• 5:05:19
  Speaker 1: above the knee, having a list beautified with exquisite embroideries
• 5:05:23
  Speaker 1: and rare incisions of the cutter's art. Their garters were
• 5:05:26
  Speaker 1: of the color of their bracelets and circled the knee
• 5:05:29
  Speaker 1: a little both over and under. Their shoes, pumps, and
• 5:05:34
  Speaker 1: slippers were either of red, violet or crimson velvet, pinked
• 5:05:38
  Speaker 1: and jagged like lobster wattles. Next to their smock they
• 5:05:42
  Speaker 1: put on a pretty curdle or vaskin of pure silk camlet.
• 5:05:45
  Speaker 1: Above that went to taffity or tabby farthingale of white, red,
• 5:05:49
  Speaker 1: tawny gray, or of any other color. Above this taffity
• 5:05:54
  Speaker 1: petticoat they had another of cloth of tissue or brocade,
• 5:05:57
  Speaker 1: embroidered with fine gold and interlaced with needles, or, as
• 5:06:00
  Speaker 1: they thought good and according to the temperature and disposition
• 5:06:04
  Speaker 1: of the weather, had their upper coats of satin damask
• 5:06:07
  Speaker 1: or velvet, and those either orange, tawny, green, ash colored blue, yellow,
• 5:06:13
  Speaker 1: bright red, crimson or white, and so forth, or had
• 5:06:17
  Speaker 1: them of cloth of gold, cloth of silver, or some
• 5:06:20
  Speaker 1: other choice stuff enriched with pearl or embroidered, according to
• 5:06:23
  Speaker 1: the dignity of the festival, days and times wherein they
• 5:06:26
  Speaker 1: wore them. Their gowns, being still correspondent to the season,
• 5:06:31
  Speaker 1: were either of cloth of gold, frizzled with a silver
• 5:06:34
  Speaker 1: raised work of red satin covered with gold pearl of
• 5:06:37
  Speaker 1: tabby or taffety, white, blue, black, tawny and sea of silk, serge, silk, camlet, velvet,
• 5:06:46

• 5:06:51
  Speaker 1: figured velvet, or figured satin, tinseled and overcast with golden
• 5:06:54
  Speaker 1: threads in diverse, variously purfl drafts. In the summer, some days,
• 5:07:00
  Speaker 1: instead of gowns they wore light, handsome mantles made either
• 5:07:03
  Speaker 1: of the stuff of the aforesaid attire, or like moresco,
• 5:07:06
  Speaker 1: rugs of violet velvet, frizzled with a raised work of
• 5:07:09
  Speaker 1: gold upon silver pearl, or with a knotted cordwork of
• 5:07:13
  Speaker 1: gold embroidery everywhere garnished with little Indian pearls. They always
• 5:07:18
  Speaker 1: carried a fair panache or plume of feathers of the
• 5:07:21
  Speaker 1: color of their muff, bravely adorned and tricked out with
• 5:07:24
  Speaker 1: glistering spangles of gold. In the winter time, they had
• 5:07:28
  Speaker 1: their taffety gowns of all colors as above named, and
• 5:07:31
  Speaker 1: those lined with the rich furrings of hind wolves or
• 5:07:34
  Speaker 1: speckled lynxes, black spotted weasels, martlet skins of Calabria, sables,
• 5:07:39
  Speaker 1: and other costly furs of an inestimable value. Their beads, rings, bracelets, collars, carcanets,
• 5:07:47
  Speaker 1: and neck chains were all of precious stones, such as carbuncles, rubies, baillias, diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, turquoises, garnets, agates, barrels,
• 5:07:58
  Speaker 1: and excellent marguerites. Their head dressing also varied with the
• 5:08:02
  Speaker 1: season of the year, according to which they decked themselves.
• 5:08:06
  Speaker 1: In winter it was of the French fashion, in the
• 5:08:09
  Speaker 1: spring of the Spanish, in summer of the fashion of Tuscany,
• 5:08:13
  Speaker 1: except only upon the Holy days and Sundays, at which
• 5:08:16
  Speaker 1: times they were accoutered in the French mode, because they
• 5:08:19
  Speaker 1: accounted it more honorable and better befitting the garb of
• 5:08:22
  Speaker 1: a matronal pudicity. The men were appareled after their fashion.
• 5:08:27
  Speaker 1: Their stockings were of tamin or of cloth surge of white,
• 5:08:31
  Speaker 1: black scarlet, or some other ingrained color. Their breeches were
• 5:08:35
  Speaker 1: of velvet of the same color with their stockings, or
• 5:08:38
  Speaker 1: very near, embroidered and cut according to their fancy. Their
• 5:08:43
  Speaker 1: doublet was of cloth of gold, of cloth of silver,
• 5:08:46
  Speaker 1: of velvet, satin, damask, taffety's and sea of the same colors,
• 5:08:52
  Speaker 1: cut embroidered and suitably trimmed up in perfection. The points
• 5:08:57
  Speaker 1: were of silk of the same colors. The tags were
• 5:08:59
  Speaker 1: of gold, old well enameled. Their coats and jerkins were
• 5:09:03
  Speaker 1: of cloth of gold, cloth of silver, gold tissue, or velvet,
• 5:09:07
  Speaker 1: embroidered as they thought fit. Their gowns were every with
• 5:09:11
  Speaker 1: as costly as those of the ladies. Their girdles were
• 5:09:15
  Speaker 1: of silks of the color of their doublets. Every one
• 5:09:19
  Speaker 1: had a gallant sword by his side, the hilt and
• 5:09:21
  Speaker 1: handle whereof were gilt, and the scabbard of velvet of
• 5:09:24
  Speaker 1: the color of his breeches, with a shape of gold
• 5:09:27
  Speaker 1: and pure goldsmith's work. The dagger was of the same.
• 5:09:32
  Speaker 1: Their caps or bonnets were of black velvet, adorned with
• 5:09:35
  Speaker 1: jewels and buttons of gold. Upon that they wore a
• 5:09:39
  Speaker 1: white plume most prettily and minion like, parted by so
• 5:09:42
  Speaker 1: many rows of gold spangles at the end whereof hung
• 5:09:45
  Speaker 1: dangling in a more sparkling resplendency, fair rubies, emeralds, diamonds
• 5:09:49
  Speaker 1: and sea. But there was such a sympathy betwixt the
• 5:09:53
  Speaker 1: gallants and the ladies that every day they were appareled
• 5:09:56
  Speaker 1: in the same livery, and that they might not miss.
• 5:10:00
  Speaker 1: There were certain gentlemen appointed to tell the youths every
• 5:10:02
  Speaker 1: morning what vestments the ladies would on that day wear,
• 5:10:05
  Speaker 1: For all was done according to the pleasure of the ladies.
• 5:10:09
  Speaker 1: In these so handsome clothes and habiliments so rich, think
• 5:10:13
  Speaker 1: not that either one or other of either sex did
• 5:10:15
  Speaker 1: waste any time at all. For the masters of the
• 5:10:17
  Speaker 1: wardrobes had all their raiments and apparel so ready for
• 5:10:20
  Speaker 1: every morning, and the chamber ladies so well skilled, that
• 5:10:24
  Speaker 1: in a trice they would be dressed and completely in
• 5:10:27
  Speaker 1: their clothes from head to foot. And to have those
• 5:10:30
  Speaker 1: accouterments with the more conveniency there was about the wood
• 5:10:33
  Speaker 1: of feeling a row of houses of the extent of
• 5:10:35
  Speaker 1: half a league, very neat and cleanly, wherein dwelt the goldsmiths, lapidaries, jewelers, embroiderers, tailors,
• 5:10:43
  Speaker 1: gold drawers, velvet weavers, tapestry makers, and upholsterers, who wrought
• 5:10:48
  Speaker 1: there every one in his own trade, and all for
• 5:10:51
  Speaker 1: the aforesaid jolly friars and nuns of the new stamp.
• 5:10:54
  Speaker 1: They were furnished with matter and stuff from the hands
• 5:10:57
  Speaker 1: of the Lord Nozoclet, who every year brought them seven
• 5:11:00
  Speaker 1: ships from the pearlis and cannibal islands, laden with ingots
• 5:11:03
  Speaker 1: of gold, with raw silk, with pearls and precious stones.
• 5:11:08
  Speaker 1: And if any marguerites called unions began to grow old
• 5:11:12
  Speaker 1: and lose somewhat of their natural whiteness and luster, those
• 5:11:15
  Speaker 1: with their art they did renew by tendering them to
• 5:11:17
  Speaker 1: eat to some pretty cocks, as they used to give
• 5:11:20
  Speaker 1: casting unto hawks. Chapter one Dot lvii dot. How the
• 5:11:24
  Speaker 1: Thelamites were governed and of their manner of living. All
• 5:11:28
  Speaker 1: their life was spent not in laws, statutes, or rules,
• 5:11:32
  Speaker 1: but according to their own free will and pleasure. They
• 5:11:35
  Speaker 1: rose out of their beds when they thought good. They
• 5:11:38
  Speaker 1: did eat, drink, labor, sleep when they had a mind
• 5:11:41
  Speaker 1: to it, and were disposed for it. None did awake them,
• 5:11:45
  Speaker 1: none did offer to constrain them to eat, drink, nor
• 5:11:48
  Speaker 1: to do any other thing. For so had Gargantua established it.
• 5:11:53
  Speaker 1: In all their rule and strictest tie of their order,
• 5:11:55
  Speaker 1: there was but this one clause to be observed. Do
• 5:11:58
  Speaker 1: what thou wilt. Because men are free, well born, well bred,
• 5:12:02
  Speaker 1: and conversant in honest companies, have naturally an instinct and
• 5:12:06
  Speaker 1: spur that promptest them unto virtuous actions and withdraws them
• 5:12:09
  Speaker 1: from vice, which is called honor. Those same men, when
• 5:12:14
  Speaker 1: by base, subjection and constraint they are brought under and
• 5:12:16
  Speaker 1: kept down, turn aside from that noble disposition by which
• 5:12:20
  Speaker 1: they formerly were inclined to virtue, to shake off and
• 5:12:23
  Speaker 1: break that bond of servitude wherein they are so tyrannously enslaved.
• 5:12:28
  Speaker 1: For it is agreeable with the nature of man to
• 5:12:30
  Speaker 1: long after things forbidden, and to desire what is denied
• 5:12:33
  Speaker 1: us By this liberty. They entered into a very laudable
• 5:12:37
  Speaker 1: emulation to do all of them what they saw did
• 5:12:39
  Speaker 1: please one. If any of the gallants or ladies should say,
• 5:12:43
  Speaker 1: let us drink, they would all drink. If any one
• 5:12:46
  Speaker 1: of them said let us play, they all played. If
• 5:12:50
  Speaker 1: one said, let us go a walking into the fields,
• 5:12:53
  Speaker 1: they went all, if it were to go a hawking
• 5:12:56
  Speaker 1: or a hunting. The ladies, mounted upon dainty, well paced nags,
• 5:13:00
  Speaker 1: seated in a stately palfrey saddle, carried on their lovely fists,
• 5:13:04
  Speaker 1: minyardly begloved, every one of them either a sparrow hawk,
• 5:13:07
  Speaker 1: or a laine rat, or a marlin. And the young
• 5:13:09
  Speaker 1: gallants carried the other kinds of hawks. So nobly were
• 5:13:13
  Speaker 1: they taught that there was neither he nor she amongst them,
• 5:13:16
  Speaker 1: but could read, write, sing, play upon several musical instruments,
• 5:13:20
  Speaker 1: speak five or six several languages, and compose in them
• 5:13:24
  Speaker 1: all very quaintly, both in verse and prose. Never were
• 5:13:28
  Speaker 1: seen so valiant knights, so noble and worthy, so dexterous
• 5:13:32
  Speaker 1: and skillful, both on foot and ahorse back, more brisk
• 5:13:36
  Speaker 1: and lively, more nimble and quick, or better handling all
• 5:13:39
  Speaker 1: manner of weapons than were there. Never were seen ladies
• 5:13:43
  Speaker 1: so proper and handsome, so miniard and dainty, less froward,
• 5:13:47
  Speaker 1: or more ready with their hand and with their needle,
• 5:13:49
  Speaker 1: in every honest and free action belonging to that sex
• 5:13:52
  Speaker 1: than were there. For this reason. When the time came
• 5:13:56
  Speaker 1: that any man of the said abbe, either at the
• 5:13:58
  Speaker 1: request of his parents or for some other cause, had
• 5:14:01
  Speaker 1: a mind to go out of it, he carried along
• 5:14:04
  Speaker 1: with him one of the ladies, namely for whom he
• 5:14:06
  Speaker 1: had before that chosen for his mistress. And they were
• 5:14:10
  Speaker 1: married together. And if they had formerly in Thelum lived
• 5:14:14
  Speaker 1: in good devotion and amity, they did continue therein and
• 5:14:17
  Speaker 1: increase it to a greater height in their state of matrimony,
• 5:14:20
  Speaker 1: and did entertain that mutual love till the very last
• 5:14:23
  Speaker 1: day of their life, in no less vigor and fervency
• 5:14:26
  Speaker 1: than at the very day of their wedding. Here must
• 5:14:29
  Speaker 1: not I forget to set down unto you a riddle
• 5:14:31
  Speaker 1: which was found under the ground as they were laying
• 5:14:33
  Speaker 1: the foundation of the abbey Ungraven in a copper plate.
• 5:14:36
  Speaker 1: And it was thus as followeth chapter one dot l
• 5:14:40
  Speaker 1: v I I dot, a prophetical riddle. Poor mortals who
• 5:14:44
  Speaker 1: wait for a happy day, cheer up your hearts and
• 5:14:47
  Speaker 1: hear what I shall say. If it be lawful firmly
• 5:14:50
  Speaker 1: to believe that the celestial bodies can thus give wisdom
• 5:14:52
  Speaker 1: to judge of things that are not yet, or if
• 5:14:55
  Speaker 1: from heaven such wisdom we may get, as may with
• 5:14:57
  Speaker 1: confidence make us discourse of years to come, their destiny
• 5:15:00
  Speaker 1: and course. I to my hearers give to understand that
• 5:15:04
  Speaker 1: this next winter, though it be at hand, yea, and
• 5:15:07
  Speaker 1: before there shall appear a race of men, who loath
• 5:15:10
  Speaker 1: to sit still in one place, shall boldly go before
• 5:15:13
  Speaker 1: all people's eyes, suborning men of divers qualities, to draw
• 5:15:16
  Speaker 1: them unto covenants and sides, in such a manner that
• 5:15:19
  Speaker 1: whatever betides, they'll move you. If you give the mere
• 5:15:23
  Speaker 1: no doubt, with both your friends and kindred to fall out,
• 5:15:27
  Speaker 1: they'll make a vassal to gainstand his lord, and children
• 5:15:31
  Speaker 1: their own parents. In a word, all reverence shall then
• 5:15:34
  Speaker 1: be banished. No true respect to others shall be had.
• 5:15:38
  Speaker 1: They'll say that every man should have his turn, both
• 5:15:41
  Speaker 1: in his going forth and his return. And hereupon there
• 5:15:43
  Speaker 1: shall arise such woes, such jarrings, and confused twes and
• 5:15:47
  Speaker 1: FROs that never were in history, such coils set down
• 5:15:50
  Speaker 1: as yet, such tumults and garboyles. Then shall you, many
• 5:15:55
  Speaker 1: gallant men see by valor stirred up and youthful fervency,
• 5:15:58
  Speaker 1: who trusting too much in their hopeful time, live but
• 5:16:01
  Speaker 1: a while, and perish in their prime. Neither shall any
• 5:16:06
  Speaker 1: who this course shall run, leave off the race which
• 5:16:08
  Speaker 1: he hath once begun, till they the heavens, with noise
• 5:16:11
  Speaker 1: by their contention, have filled and with their steps the
• 5:16:14
  Speaker 1: earth's dimension. Then those shall have no less authority that
• 5:16:18
  Speaker 1: have no faith than those that will not lie. For
• 5:16:21
  Speaker 1: all shall be governed by a rude, base, ignorant, and
• 5:16:24
  Speaker 1: foolish multitude. The veriest lout of all shall be their judge.
• 5:16:28
  Speaker 1: O horrible and dangerous deluge. Deluge I call it, and
• 5:16:32
  Speaker 1: that for good reason. For this shall be omitted in
• 5:16:35
  Speaker 1: no season, nor shall the earth of this foul stir
• 5:16:38
  Speaker 1: be free, till suddenly you, in great store shall see
• 5:16:41
  Speaker 1: the waters issue out, with whose streams the most moderate
• 5:16:44
  Speaker 1: of all shall moisten be. And justly too, because they
• 5:16:47
  Speaker 1: did not spare the flocks of beasts that innocentest are,
• 5:16:51
  Speaker 1: But did their sinews and their bowels take not to
• 5:16:54
  Speaker 1: the gods as sacrifice to make, but usually to serve
• 5:16:57
  Speaker 1: themselves for sport. And now consider I do in such
• 5:17:01
  Speaker 1: commotions so continual, what rest can take the globe terrestrial?
• 5:17:05
  Speaker 1: Most happy? Then are they that can it hold and
• 5:17:08
  Speaker 1: use it carefully as precious gold, by keeping it in jail,
• 5:17:12
  Speaker 1: whence it shall have no help but him who, being
• 5:17:14
  Speaker 1: to it gave and to increase his mournful accident, the
• 5:17:18
  Speaker 1: sun before it set in th h occident, shall cease
• 5:17:21
  Speaker 1: to dart upon it any light more than in an
• 5:17:23
  Speaker 1: eclipse or in the night, so that at once its
• 5:17:26
  Speaker 1: favor shall be gone, and liberty with it be left alone.
• 5:17:30
  Speaker 1: And yet before it come to ruin, thus its quaking
• 5:17:33
  Speaker 1: shall be as impetuous as Etna's was. When Titan suns
• 5:17:36
  Speaker 1: lay under and yield when lost a fearful sound like
• 5:17:40
  Speaker 1: thunder in arrime, did not more quickly move when typheus
• 5:17:44
  Speaker 1: did the vast huge hills remove, and for despite into
• 5:17:47
  Speaker 1: the sea them through. Thus shall it then be lost
• 5:17:51
  Speaker 1: by ways not few, and changed suddenly, when those that
• 5:17:54
  Speaker 1: have it to other men that after come shall leave it.
• 5:17:57
  Speaker 1: Then shall it be high time to cease from this
• 5:18:00
  Speaker 1: so long, so great, so tedious exercise. For the great
• 5:18:04
  Speaker 1: waters told you now by me will make each think
• 5:18:06
  Speaker 1: where his retreat shall be. And yet before that they
• 5:18:09
  Speaker 1: be clean dispersed, you may behold in t h air
• 5:18:12
  Speaker 1: where naught was erst the burning heat of a great
• 5:18:15
  Speaker 1: flame to rise, lick up the water, and the enterprise
• 5:18:20
  Speaker 1: it reached death after those things, to declare that those
• 5:18:23
  Speaker 1: shall sit content who chosen are with all good things
• 5:18:26
  Speaker 1: and with celestial man knee, and richly recompensed every man
• 5:18:31
  Speaker 1: the others. At the last all strips shall be that
• 5:18:33
  Speaker 1: after this great work all men may see how each
• 5:18:36
  Speaker 1: shall have his due. This is their lot. Oh, he
• 5:18:40
  Speaker 1: is worthy praise that shrinth. Not no sooner was this
• 5:18:44
  Speaker 1: enigmatical monument read over, But Gargantua, fetching a very deep sigh, said,
• 5:18:49
  Speaker 1: unto those that stood by, it is not now only
• 5:18:52
  Speaker 1: I perceive that people called to the faith of the
• 5:18:54
  Speaker 1: Gospel and convinced with the certainty of evangelical truths are persecuted.
• 5:19:00
  Speaker 1: But happy is that man that shall not be scandalized,
• 5:19:03
  Speaker 1: but shall always continue to the end in aiming at
• 5:19:06
  Speaker 1: that mark which God, by his dear son, hath set
• 5:19:08
  Speaker 1: before us, without being distracted or diverted by his carnal
• 5:19:11
  Speaker 1: affections and depraved nature. The monk then said, what do
• 5:19:16
  Speaker 1: you think in your conscience is meant and signified by
• 5:19:18
  Speaker 1: this riddle? What said Gargantua, The progress in carrying on
• 5:19:24
  Speaker 1: of the divine truth by Saint Godarin, said the monk.
• 5:19:28
  Speaker 1: That is not my exposition. It is the style of
• 5:19:31
  Speaker 1: the prophet Merlin. Make upon it as many grave allegories
• 5:19:35
  Speaker 1: and glasses as you will, and dote upon it, you
• 5:19:38
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the world, as long as you please.
• 5:19:40
  Speaker 1: For my part, I can conceive no other meaning in
• 5:19:43
  Speaker 1: it but a description of a set at tennis in
• 5:19:45
  Speaker 1: dark and obscure terms. The suborners of men are the
• 5:19:49
  Speaker 1: makers of matches, which are commonly friends. After the two
• 5:19:53
  Speaker 1: chases are made, he that was in the upper end
• 5:19:56
  Speaker 1: of the tennis court goeth out, and the other cometh in.
• 5:20:00
  Speaker 1: They believe the first that set the ball was over
• 5:20:02
  Speaker 1: or under the line. The waters are the heats that
• 5:20:05
  Speaker 1: the players take till they sweat again. The cords of
• 5:20:09
  Speaker 1: the rackets are made of the guts of sheep or goats.
• 5:20:13
  Speaker 1: The globe terrestrial is the tennis ball after playing. When
• 5:20:17
  Speaker 1: the game is done, they refresh themselves before a clear
• 5:20:20
  Speaker 1: fire and change their shirts, and very willingly they make
• 5:20:23
  Speaker 1: all good cheer, but most merrily those that have gained,
• 5:20:27
  Speaker 1: and so farewell the end. Thanks for listening.
