Areye not pretty fellows, answer true,
To quit your colours, andysur comrades too ?

On promise of forgiven?, from the throne.—

How take 'em ! jaid the sergeant, that's ajoke
By Peer's keys, your honour, I surrounded 'em.

AMUSEMENT.
IWas told ((aid Antonius de Paler
mo) by King Alphonfus of a Sicilian,
born blind (then living in the city of
Gergento, of old called Agrigentum)
who had followed him often times on
hunting ; Lowing to the huntsmen
(who had their fight well enough)
the retreats of the wild beasts. He
added further, touching the industry
of this blind man, that having by his
sparing and fc raping gotten together
about ^oo crowns, which put him to
a great deal ofccare ;'he refolded at
last to hide them in a ground of his.
As he was making a hole in the
earth to that end, a neighbour of his
espied him, who so soon as the blind
man was gone, searched, found the
money, and carried it away. Two
or three days after, the blind man
returning to visit his cash, and find
ing nothing there, like one forlorn
he frets and fumes ; and after much
debating with himfelf, he concludes
none but his peighbour could have
played him thistrick. Having there
fore found him out, he began thus to
fay to him: " Neighbour, I am
come to have your opinion ; I have
1000 crowns, and the one half of
them shave hid in a fafe place, for
the other half, I know not what to
do with them, having not my light,
and being very unfit to keep any
such thing ; therefore, what think
you ? might I not hide the other half
with the rest in the fame place of
fafety ?" His neighbour approved,
and commended his resolution ; and
going speedily to the place, carried
back the 500 crowns, he had taken
away, believing he should have the
whole loco together. A while after
the blind man goes to his hole, and
finding there his crowns again, carri
ed them home; and returning to his
Seat, of the Muses.
