Page 240 - Stilt-makers all and tanners shall complain of this disaster; For they will make each muddy lake for Essex calves a pasture. The feather'd fowls have wings, to fly to other nations ; But we have no such things, to help our transportations ; We must give place (oh grievous case) to horned beasts and cattle, Except that we can all agree to drive them out by battle. Wherefore let us intreat our antient water nurses, To shew their power so great as t...

Page 215 - Yet to do the folks justice, they are sensible, and reasonable, and civilized; their very language is polished since I lived among them.
