Excerpt from The Life and Complete Works in Prose and Verse, Vol. 5 of 12 Fortunatus. Peace, Ampedo: talke not of povertie, Disdaine, my boyes, to kisse the tawnie cheekes Of leane necessitie: make not inquirie, How I came rich: I am rich, let that suffice; There are foure leathern bags, trust full of gold; Those spent, ile fill you more: goe lads, be gallant; Shine in the streetes of Cyprus like two starres, And make them bow their knees that once did spurne you; For to effect such wonders gold can turne you; Brave it in Famagosta, or elsewhere; He travell to the Turkish Emperour; And then ile revell it with Prester John, Or banquet with great Cham of Tartarie, And trie what frolicke Court the Souldan keepes; He leave you presently: teare of these rags. Glitter, y boes, like Angels, that the world May (whilst our life in pleasure's circles romes) Wonder at Fortunatus and his fonnes. Andelo. Come, Shaddow: now wee'le feast it royally. Shad. Doe, master, but take heede of beggerie. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
