A Courtier having begg'd a rich Land∣ed Fool of the King, made him wait up∣on him; so the Fool coming one day with his Master to a Gentlemans House, where the Picture of a Fool was wrought in a rich Suit of Arras Hangings, cut out the Fool with his knife; and being accused for it, You have more reason, said he, to commend, and give me thanks for it; for had my Master seen the Picture of a Fool in your Hangings, he would have begg'd them of the King.
