I to my selfe vnlesse some Conjurer now should persecute me transforming me into what hee listed The Iudges commanded him to be silent Then came in the reuerend Arch-Priest who seeing me so bleake and wrimpled like an old Wiues belly said That he neyther knew me by my face nor shape I then remembred him of some old passages and many secrets that had passed betweene vs particularly I bad him remember the Night that he came naked vnto my bed saying that he was afraid of a Hob-goblin that haunted his chamber and laid himselfe betweene my Wife me He for feare I should haue proceeded any farther in tokens confessed it to be true that I was Lazaro his good friend and seruant The Suit ended with the testimonie of the Captaine that had carried me from Toledo and was one of those that escaped the Tempest in the Cock-boat who acknowledged that I was in person Lazaro his seruant and all this did agree with the relation of the time place where the fishermen said they had caught me They condemned euery one of thē to two hundred stripes and their goods confiscated the one part to the King the other to the Prisoners and the third to Lazaro They were found to haue two thousand Fiftie pounds Ryals two Mules and a Cart of the which all duties and charges payd there fell to my share twentie A Duckat is fiue shillings six pence of our money duckats The Saylers remained bare and comfortlesse and I rich content for in all my life before I had not seen my selfe Master of so much money at once I went to the house of one of my Friends where after I had poured downe my Throat some Gallons of Wine to wash away the euill sauour of the Water put my selfe into good Clothes I began to walke like an Earle faring like a King honoured of my Friends feared of mine Enemies and welcome to all The miseries I had passed seemed to mee a Dreame the present happinesse a Hauen of rest and the future hopes a Paradise of pleasure Aduersitie doth humble and prosperitie puffe vp the minde All the time that the twentie duckats lasted if the King had called me Cousin I had taken it for an affront When wee Spaniards can but get a Ryall wee are Princes and though wee doe want it wee doe not want presumption If you aske but a shake-ragge who hee is hee will answere that at the least hee is descended from the Gothes that his bad fortune hath thus deiected him being the propertie of the foolish World to eleuate the base and debase the worthy and yet such as he is he would not yeeld to any nor esteeme himselfe lesse then the greatest and would rather sterue then put himselfe to any Trade or if hee doth it is with such contempt distaste that either he will not worke at all or if he doth it is so ill that hardly in all Spaine shall one finde a good workeman of a Spaniard I remember that there was a Cobler in Salamanca who when one did bring him any thing to mend would make a long discourse to himselfe complayning of his euill fortune that had reduced him to the necessitie of working in so base a Trade being descended from such a house and from such parents who for their worth were knowne ouer all Spaine I asked one day a neighbor of his of what Kindred that Bragadocio was Hee told mee that his father was a treader of Grapes in Vintage time and a Hogge-killer In Spaine and other Countries to make their Wines they put their grapes into great Tubs into the which men goe bare legged and sometimes naked to tread the grapes for to expresse the juice in Winter and his mother a Tripe-washer I meane a Tripe-wife's maid I had bought a Sute of old peeld Veluet and a long thredbare Cloake of Segouia Serge I wore my Sword so long that the Chape vnpaued the stones of the streetes as I walked When I came out of Prison I would not goe see my Wife to giue her a greater desire to see mee and to bee reuenged of the scorne that shee had made of me I beleeued vndoubtedly that seeing me so well apparrelled shee would repent her selfe and receiue me with open armes but obstinate shee was and obstinate shee remained I found her in Child-bed and newly married When she saw me shee cryed out as if shee had beene mad Take from before me that ill watered Fish that Face of a new-pluckt Goose or by the blessednesse of my dead Fathers Soule if I rise I will scratch out his eyes I with a great deale of flegme answered her Faire and softly good Mistris Wagtaile if you know me not for your Husband nor I you for my Wife let mee haue my daughter and as good friends as euer before for I haue got wherewith to marry her very honourably Me thought those twentie duckats should haue beene like little Iohn of God's fiue Twelue Blanckes make an English penny Blanckes who as soone as hee had spent them found fiue other still in his Purse but with mee as I was Lazarillo of the Deuill it fell out otherwise as shall appeare in the next Chapter The Arch-Priest opposed himselfe against my demand saying That she was not mine and for proofe thereof hee shewed mee the Church Booke for Christnings which compared with the Register of Marriages it appeared that the Girle was borne foure moneths after that I first carnally knew my Wife My man Thomas fell downe who till then had beene on horsebacke and I perceiued the error in the which I had liued vntill that time beleeuing her to bee my daughter that was not so I shaked vpon them the dust of my shoes washed my hands in token of innocencie of parting for euer so I turned my back vnto them with as much cōfort as if I had neuer known them I went to seeke some of my friends to whō I related the whole matter they comforted me which was a thing very easie for thē to do I would not returne to the Office of common Cryer for my Veluet had rooted out such petty thoghts Going toward the Gate cald de Vilagra as I passed through that of S. Iohn of the Kings I met with an old acquaintance of mine who after she had saluted me told me how that my Wife was growne more gentle since she had vnderstood that I had money particularly that that Gabacho had as good as new dressed her from top to toe I desired her to let me vnderstand the businesse she did it saying that Master Arch-Priest and my Wife had entred one day into consultation whether it were best to take me home again to them turne out that Gabacho bringing reasons of the one side and of the other This their consulting was not so secret but that the new Husband heard of it who dissembling the next morning went out to work at the

with so great deuotion that from that day to this I haue beene very deuout Hee recommended mee to one of the holy Women deuoted to their Those women are called Beatae Order with whom I remained aboue six moneths well prouided of all things necessarie I was drawne thence by a Captaine and so haue roued vp and down from one place to another am where thou seest And would to God I had neuer departed out of the protection of that good Father who entertained me as his Daughter and loued me as his Sister Finally I haue beene constrained to follow an Occupation to get my liuing With this discourse we came to the waggon which was ready to set forth I discharged my Burden into it praying her to pay me for my labor the Rag-taile answered That I wil very willingly and with that lifting vp her hand she gaue me such a Boxe on the eare that shee felled me to the ground saying Art thou such an Asse as to aske Money of one of my Profession Did I not bid thee before thou camest out of the house of Fellowship to pay thy selfe if thou wouldst vpon me With that as nimbly as a Grasse-hopper shee leaped into the Waggon and away she went and left me fretted at the heart and as blancke as a Bell-founder not knowing what ayled me only I considered with my self that if the progresse of my new Trade did follow the beginning I should thriue fairly at the yeres end Vpon my departure thence there came another Waggon from Alcala de Henares A Citie in Spaine out of the which the passengers who were all Whores Schollers and Fryers being alighted one of the Order of S. Francis asked me if I would doe him that charitie as to carry his Trusse to his Couent I answered him with cheerfulnes that I would for I perswaded my selfe that hee would not couzen me as that Drab had done therefore I tooke it vp and it was so heauie that I could scarce carry it yet for the hope of my good pay I strayned my selfe Being come to the Cloyster very weary because it was farre the Frier tooke his Packe and saying For Gods sake bee it done went in and shut the doore after him I waited there vntill he should come to pay me but seeing that he did tarry long I knocked at the Gate The Porter came forth and asked me what I would haue I told him My payment for the burthen which I had brought He answered mee That I should goe in Gods name for they neuer payed any thing and so locked the doore charging me to knock no more by reason it was a time of silence for if I did hee would giue mee a hundred lacings with his knotty girdle My courage was cooled A poore man that stood at the Gate said to me Brother you may well goe your way for these Fathers doe handle no money for they liue altogether vpon other mens dishes Let them liue vpon what they can said I they shall pay mee for my paines or I will be no longer Lazarillo and thereupon I fell a knocking with great anger The Lay Brother came forth with greater and without any farther complement gaue me such a push that hee threw me backward to the ground as if I had been a mellow Peare and kneeling vpon me he gaue me halfe a dozen such punches with his knee and as many flamms with his girdle that he left mee all bruised as if the Clock-Tower of Saragosa A Citie in Spaine had fallen vpon mee I lay there stretched aboue halfe an houre not being able to arise I considered my euill fortune and the strength of that irregular Frier so ill imployed which had been fitter to serue the King our Lord and Master then to deuoure the almes ordained for the poore though indeed they bee scarce good for any employment being idle and lazie-packs as the Emperour Charles the fifth gaue well to vnderstand for when the Generall of S. Francis his Order offered two and twentie thousand Friers to assist him in his warrs none aboue forty nor vnder two twenty the inuincible Emperour answered That he would not haue them by reason that hee should haue needed euery day two and twenty thousand flesh-pots intimating thereby that they are fitter by farre for the Kitchin then for any labour or seruice God forgiue me for since that day I haue so abhorred those Lay-clergie-men that me thought when I saw them I did see Droanes of a Bee-hiue or spunges of the fat of the porridge-pot I was minded to giue ouer my office but I expected the reuolutiō of the 24 houres * Those that dye in Spaine of sudden death are kept 24 houres before they be buried as the custome is for those that die of sudden death CHAP. X. How Lazaro met with an old Baud and what hapned vnto him WEake and dead for hunger I went little by little vp the street passing through the Barly-place I met with an old mumbler that had more tusks then a wilde Boare who came to me and asked me if I would carry a trunke for her to a friend of hers not farre from thence she would giue me foure Foure quartos make a Royall which is six pence quartos I had no sooner heard her but I gaue God thankes that frō so filthy a mouth as hers should proceede so sweete a speech as that She would giue mee foure Quartos I told her Yes with a very good will though that very good will was more to finger the fower Quartos then to carry the burden hauing at that time more need to be carried my selfe then to carry I tooke vp the Trunke with much adoe by reason it was great and heauy the good woman bad me carry it faire and softly because that within it were bottles of Waters which she esteemd very much I answered her that she should not need to feare that I would go softly enough for though I would haue done otherwise it had been impossible for me being so hungry that hardly I could put one foote before another We came at length to the house where wee did carry the Trunke the which they verie gladlie receiued especially a young Gentlewoman plumpe and round faced would all the cattell of my bed were such my belly being full who with a chearefull countenance said that she would keepe it in her Closet I carried it thither and the old Woman gaue her the Key of it desiring her to keepe it vntill she returned from Segouia where shee A Citie in Spaine was going to visite a Kinswoman of hers hoping to come backe againe within fower dayes Then embracing her shee tooke leaue of her whispering her in the eare I know not what which made the Damsell blush like a rose and although I then did like her very well I should haue liked her farre better had the vacuity of my guts been stuffed with good prouender she tooke likewise
