The .xxiiii. chapter treateth of Venys, and of the naturall dysposicyon of the people of the country, of ther mony and of theyr spech.
I am a Venesien both sober and sage;In all myne actes and doynges I do not outrage;
Grauite shal be founde euer in me,
Specially yf I be out of my countrey.
My apparell is ryche, very good and fyne.
All my possessyon is not fully myne,
For part of my possession, I am come tributor to the Turke.
To lyue in rest and peace, in my cytye I do lourke.
Some men do saye I do smell of the smoke;
I passe not for that, I haue money in my pooke
To pacyfye the Pope, the Turke, and the Iue:
I say no more, good felow, now adew!
