112 Of the Bore and the Countreyman.

THere was a Bore which routed vp the corne, whose eare a countreyman cut off. It chaun∣ced he came the seconde time, then he cut off his other eare. When he came yet againe, he caught him & caried him into the citie & gaue it his At∣torney to make mery withal. At the feast when he was brokē vp, his hart was not found. Then his maister was wroth with the cooke therfore. Sir (quod the countreyman) it is no maruel that his hart is not here, for I think the foolish Bore had no hart, for if he had had any, he woulde not haue come so oft into my corn to his cost. Thē al the gests laughest excéedingly at his foolishnesse.

MOR. Many liue so without spirite or bolde∣nesse, that it is doubtefull whether they haue a harte or not.
