The .xxxvi. chapter treteth of the Mores whyche do dwel in Barbary.
I am a blake More borne in Barbary;Chrysten men for money oft doth me bye;
Yf I be vnchristend, marchauntes do not care,
They by me in markets, be I neuer so bare.
Yet wyll I be a good dylygent slaue,
Although I do stand in sted of a knaue;
I do gather fygges, and with some I whype my tayle:
To be angry wyth me, what shal it a-vayle?
