Of an Astrnomer, and a Plowman.

A Kyng sometyme determined, an huntyng for to ride: Of diuers persones did demaunde, what weather would betide. A student in Astronomie, (there standyng by) did tell It would be faire, so that his grace, might ride on huntyng well. A Plowman poore vnto the Prince, gan thus replie againe: Beleue hym not sur, bide at home, for sure I cham twull raine.

The kyng did laugh, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 at last all businesse set aside▪ The kyng with troup, and all his traine, doeth forthe on huntyng ride. Not entred scant the wood, but straite vppon the trees did dashe. A powryng shower that paied them all, and well the kyng did washe. The prince the Plowman praisde: and said looke thou where Starres do stand Poore Plowman: and prowd Strologer, take thou a whip in hand. The like Astronomers to this we haue in Englande here: More fitter for to till, then tell, except thei wiser were.
