The xxix. Chapter treateth of Andalase, of Cyuel, and of the kyngedome of Portyngale, and of the natural dysposicyon of the people, and of ther speche, and of theyr money.
I was borne in AndalaseWher many marchantes commeth to me,
Some to bay, and some to sel;
In our marchantes we sped ful wel.
And I was borne in Cyuel, lackyng nothyng;
Al nacions, marchauntes to me doth bryng.
And I was borne in the kyngdome of Portyngale;
Of spices & of Wyne I do make great sale.
By marchauntes, al my country doth stond
Or els had I very poer land.
Yf any man for marchauntes wyl come to vs,
Let hym bryng with hym a good fat purse,
Than shal they haue of vs theyr full intencion,
And know that in our rayment we kepe the olde fashion.
