hill of Pismires drew his Sword and guarded it And the King coming by sent for him to know the reason why he guarded that place with his sword drawn the King in person being to pass by there whaâ— returned answer That he was busie and could not speak with him and the King is on Horse-back and I am on foot therefore quoth he he may the better come to me Tell the King that I stand here to guard the laborious Ants from their Eneâ—iâ—s which Message being brought to the King he went to Jacâ— of Newberry expecting that it was done to make some jest for his pleasure and when the King came Jack with â—ll his mâ—n fell on their knées and cried God save the King your Sacred Majesty quoth he hath vanquished all mine Enemies Now trust me quoth the King you are â—tout Souldiers to fight against Butterflies and withstand such mighty Gyants My dread Soveraign quoth Jack of Newberry not long ago in my conceit I saw the most provident nation of the Ants sumâ—â—ned their chief Peers to a Parliament â—â—ich was held in the famous City of Drieâ—stie the one and thirtieth day of September â—â—ereas by their Wisdoms I was chosen â—â—â—ir King at what time also many Bills of â—â—mplaint

especially against Easter â—hich at length was misliked This painted Ass took snuff in the nose and â—â—â—embled a great many other of his own Coat 〈◊〉 windy Wars to root these painful peoâ—â—e out of the Land that he himself might 〈◊〉 above them These were proud Butâ—â—â—flies quoth the King Whereupon I with my men quoth Iack â—â—â—pared our selves to withstand them till such time as your

their wants That they may walk mo safe to bring home their relief And keep that which they have from every idle Thief But now my King is here I bow down low my knee For we that vaunted here are Subjects unto thee God bless thee Royal King and send thee long to Reign And joy in every thing and freedom from all pain I and my men and mine my Ants and all we have â—ommand us we are thine and so the King God save Now to return
