¶To Dauid Dicars when.

¶To him that doth dreame,

Dauid Dicars when,

And euen so from hym,

to such other men.

FRom when vnto when, to come to this when.

Whē fooles of your folly, wyl worke lyke wyse men

And know theyr owne fautes, & leaue faulting other

And fyrst mende them selues, & thē warne theyr brother,

Enuiyng none, for that theyr sorte is not

Such as they would be, lyke others I wot.

Goddes of degree, to rule and beare swaye,

Whose maners mete not, to stand in such stay,

And yet wold haue mouthes, to rore lyke the Lyon

Beyng but Asses, brute of condicion.

Esopus de asino ru [...]ēte

Forgettynge that order doth thus aske and craue,

That eche should hym selfe in order behaue.

As beastes of lowe sorte, to be meke of theyr mynde,

To those that be hygher, and greater of kynde.

The Bore not to bragge, to stryue wyth the Lyon.

The Hart not to stand, wyth the Bull in contencion,

The Oxe that doth draw, to thyncke hym selfe able,

To runne for a wager, wyth the Horse of the stable.

It grees not, it cordes not, nor orderly fyttes

That men should fynd fault, wyth Gods and theyr wyttes.

Iupiters seate standes somewhat to hye

For vs to iudge it, that come it not nye.

And iudgementes of gesse, in any such sorte,

May serue to the Gods, for a laughter and sporte.

To se how Iudas, would fayne become Iuda,

To iuste at the life, of Iuli apostata.

Let Beastes that be meete, for carte and caryage,

Leane to theyr laboure, as manne to hys maryage.

And synce we be members of one common wealthe.

Let vs ioyne aptly, as fyttes for our health.

The eye as the eye, let hym stare and looke,

And let the leg learne, to bowe and to crooke.

Let the hand answere, to helpe and to dooe.

As the wyl of the hert, shall wyll hym vnto.

And let not the foote, make murmur and cry.

To aske why our head is placed so hye.

Our instrument iarres, it makes no ryght melody.

If we thus tune not to order our armony.

Then mayster when, when bothe you and I,

And euery man els wyl learne to applye,

To our ryght metyarde, and kepe oure iust compasse,

And looke not so deepe in an other mannes glasse.

And leaue dreaming dreames of dead Dauid Dicar,

And send such whens home, to our person or vycar.

And therwyth remember, thys verse of Cato,

Whose wysdō doth warne vs, with these wordes I trowe

Que soles culpare, ea tu ipse:

ne feceris. when wee marke this nipse,

And leaue drawyng dialles, on other mens dooyng

And learne for to looke to our owne woorkes and brewynge,

Then I say then, when you agayn when:

wyll say well your selfe, and suche other men,

And all folke wyll doo well. Lo thus I ende then,

All thynges shall be well, whiche god graunt. Amen.

Domine saluum fac Regem & da pacem in diebus nostris.

Quod T. Camel.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
