to paint the whole state of our city in those
distracted times, which | have neither wit
nor timc for. But here, today, along with
many doctors and scholars, were walking
court5rs troopers, mountebanks, cut purses,
astrologers, rogues and gamesters, together
with many of the first ladies and gentlemen
of England, as the Prince Maurice, the Lords
Andover, Digby and Colcpcpper, my Lady
Thyme, Mistress Fanshawe, Mr.. Secretary
Nicholas, the famous DR.. Harvey, arm in
arm with my Lord Falkland (whose boots
were splashed with mud, ho having ridden
over from his house at Great Tew), and
many such, all mixed in this incredible tag
rag. Mistress Fanshawe, MS remember, was
playing on a lutte, which she carried always
slung about her shoulders; and close beside
her, fellow impudcntly putting his specific
against the morbus campestris which already
had begun to invade us.
"Who'll buyln he was bawlng "Ts from
the receipt of a famous Italian, and never yet
failed man. woman nor child unless the heart
were clean drowned in the disease; the best
part OF it good muscadino, and has virtue
against the plague smallpox or surfeits!n
| was standing before this iackanapes when
! heard n stir in the crowd behind nc, and
another calling, who'll buyl Who'll buyP
Turning, | saw n young man, very gayly
dressed moving quickly about at the far end
Of the Pig market and behind him an old
lackey, bent double with the weight of two
great baskets that he carried. The baskets
were piled with books, clothes, gewgaws of
all kinds; and twas the young gentleman
that hawked his wares himself. "What dye
lack!' he kept shouting, and would stop to
unfold his merchandise, holding up now
book and now silk douhlet, and running
over their merits like any huckster-but with
the mcrrieSt conceit in the world
And yet twas not this that sent my heart
flying into my mouth at the sight of him.
For by his curls and womanish face, no less
than the amber cloak with the black bars,
knew him at once for the same had seen
yesterday among the dicers
As | stood there, drawn this way and that
by many reflections, he worked his way
through tine press, selling here and there
tliile from his baskets, and at length came to
a halt in front of me.
''Ia,' he cried, pulling off his pumed hat
and bowling low, ga scholar, perceive Let
me serve you, sir. Here is the History of
Saint George" and he picked out thin
brown quarto and held it up; written by
Master Peter Heylin; a ripe book, they tell
ne Though, to be sure, | never read beyond
the title, and the price poor two shillings'
