Sivu 64 - On each side of the hall are six trees, having the natural bark so artfully joined, with birds' nests and leaves as well as fruit. upon them, all managed in such a manner that you could not distinguish between the natural and these artificial trees ; and, as far as I could see, there was no difference at all, for when the steward of the house opened the windows, which looked upon the beautiful pleasuregarden, birds flew into the hall, perched themselves upon the trees, and began to sing...
Sivu 333 - Brute, untill this day? beeing possest of their true use, for or because playes are writ with this ayme, and carryed with this methode, to teach their subjects obedience to their king, to shew the people the untimely ends of such as have moved tumults, commotions, and insurrections, to present them with the flourishing estate of such as live in obedience, exhorting them to allegeance, dehorting them from all trayterous and fellonious stratagems.
