[One clymbing of a tree, by hap] |
 | Democritus, or Doctor Merry-man his Medicines |  |
[One clymbing of a tree, by hap]
One clymbing of a tree, by hapFell downe and brake his arme,
And did complaine vnto a friend
Of his vnlucky harme.
Would I had counsel'd you before
(Quoth he) to whom he spake;
I know a tricke for Clymbers,
That they neuer hurt shall take:
Neighbour (said he) I haue a Sonne,
And he doth vse to clymbe,
Pray let me know that same for him
Agaynst another time.
Why thus (quoth he) let any man
That liues, clymbe nere so hye:
And make no more hast downe then vp,
No harme can come thereby.
