(399.)
A Spaniard and a Gascoign coming both to an Inn in France, found nothing ready, but a piece of Mutton, and a Partridge; one would have the Partridge, and the other would have it; and there∣upon quarreling, the hostess perswaded them to eat it together, no that they would not; but at last consented it should be kept for breakfast, and he that dreamed in the night the best dream, should have it. Whilst the Spaniard broke his sleep by stu∣dying a good dream, the Gascoign observing where the partridg was put, got up, and did eat it: in the morning betime they arose, and the Spaniard said, he dreamed the best dream in the world; for, said he, me thought I saw the heavens open, and a Quire of angels with musick carried me to heaven. Then said the Gascoign, I dreamed I saw you so car∣ried to heaven, and thinking you would never return, I arose in the night, and did eat the Partridge.
