Strange nevves out of diuers countries neuer discouered till of late, by a strange pilgrime in those parts.

A Dreame of a Peacocke and an Asse.

ME thought I saw within a field, where I along did passe, Two creatures that each other fac't, a Peacocke and an Asse: The Peacocke spred abroad his taile, the Asse set vp his eares; The Peacocke leerd vpon his traine, the Asse did licke his heares: But at they thus each other brau'd, the Asse began to bray, Wherewith the Peacocke sore afright did take her flight away; Wherewith the Asse did smile that he his valour did so trie, That with a word but of his mouth he made the Peacocke flie: But when the Peacocke sang his song, he scared so the Asse, That he to go as all amaz'd, he knew not where he was: But what with tone and tothers noise, they did such musicke make, That I awakt out of my dreame, and glad I was awake.
