     THE ADVENTURES OF JOHN LONGBOWE�察�YEOMAN 

     BEING A MODERN´ANTIQUE REALISTIC ROMANCE 

     ��COMPILED FROM SEVERAL EMINENT SOURCES�� 

       It   seemeth   but   fair   that   I�察  �John   Longbowe�察  �should   set   down   this 

account of such hap and adventure as hath befallen me�察�without flourish�察�

vaporing�察�or   cozening   of   speech�察�but   as   becometh   one   who�察 �not   being   a 

ready   writer�察  �goeth   straight   to   the   matter   in   hand   in   few   words。  So�察�

though I offend some�察�I shall yet convince all�察�the which lieth closer to my 

purpose。     Thus�察�it was in the year 1560�察�or 1650�察�or mayhap 1710for my 

memory   is   not   what   it   hath   been   and   I   ever   cared   little   for  monkish 

calendars or such dry´as´dust   matter�察 �being   active   as   becometh   one   who 

hath to make his way in the worldyet I wot well it was after the Great 

Plague�察  �which   I   have   great   cause   to   remember�察  �lying   at   my   cozen's   in 

Wardour Street�察�London�察�in that lamentable year�察�eating of gilly flowers�察�

sulphur�察  �hartes   tongue   and   many   stynking   herbes�察  �touching   neither   man 

nor mayd�察�save with a great tongs steept in pitch�察�wearing a fine maske of 

silk   with   a   mouth   piece   of   aromatic   stuffby   reason   of   which   acts   of 

hardihood and courage I was miraculously preserved。                   This much I shall 

say as to the time of these happenings�察�and no more。                 I am a plain�察�blunt 

manmayhap rude of speech should occasion warrant´so let them who 

require the exactness of a scrivener or a pedagogue go elsewhere for their 

entertainment and be hanged to them� �

     Howbeit�察  �though   no   scholar�察  �I   am   not   one   of   those   who   misuse   the 

English speech�察�and�察�being foolishly led by the hasty custom of scriveners

though this be little toward those great enterprises and happenings I shall 

presently  shew�察  �I   set   it   down   for  the   behoof   of   such   malapert   wights   as 

must needs gird at a man of spirit and actionand yet�察�in sooth�察�know not 

their own letters。 

     So to my tale。      There was a great frost when my Lord bade me follow

him to the water gate near our lodgings in the Strand。                When we reached 

it   we   were   amazed   to   see   that   the   Thames   was   frozen   over   and   many 

citizens   disporting   themselves   on   the  icethe  like of   which   no   man   had 

seen before。       There were fires built thereon�察�and many ships and barges 

were   stuck   hard   and   fast�察  �and   my   Lord   thought   it   vastly   pretty   that   the 

people were walking under their bows and cabbin windows and climbing 

of their sides like mermen�察�but I�察�being a plain�察�blunt man�察�had no joy in 

such idlenesse�察�deeming it better that in these times of pith and enterprise 

they should be more seemly employed。                My Lord�察�because of one or two 

misadventures by reason of the slipperiness of the ice�察�was fain to go by 

London Bridge�察�which we did�察�my Lord as suited his humor ruffling the 

staid citizens as he passed or peering under the hoods of their wives and 

daughtersas became a young gallant of the time。                I�察�being a plain�察�blunt 

man�察    �assisted    in   no   such    folly�察 �but   contented     myself�察    �when     they 

complayned to me�察�with damning their souls for greasy interfering varlets。 

For I shall now make no scruple in declaring that my Lord was the most 

noble Earl of Southampton�察�being withheld from so saying before through 

very   plainness   and   bluntness�察  �desiring   as   a   simple   yeoman   to   make   no 

boast of serving a man of so high quality。 

     We   fared   on   over   Bankside   to   the   Globe   playhouse�察  �where   my   Lord 

bade me dismount and deliver a secret message to the chief player which 

message was�察 �had he diligently perused and examined that he wot of�察�and 

what said he thereof�拭─        �Which I did。       Thereupon he that was called the 

chief player did incontinently proceed to load mine arms and wallet with 

many and divers rolls of manuscripts in my Lord's own hand�察�and bade me 

say unto him that there was a great frost over London�察�but that if he were 

to   perform  those   plays   and   masques   publickly�察  �there   would   be   a   greater 

frost thereto   wit�察 �in   the  Globe  playhouse。       This   I did deliver  with the 

Manuscripts to my Lord�察�who changed countenance mightily at the sight 

of them�察�but could make nought of the message。                  At which the lad who 

held   the   horses   before   the   playhouseone   Will   Shakespearesplit   with 

laughter。     Whereat       my   Lord    cursed    him    for  a  deer´stealing�察    �coney´ 

catching Warwickshire lout�察�and cuffed him soundly。                  I wot there will be 

those    who    remember      that  this  Will   Shakespeare      afterwards     became    a
