camels Conclusion.  

camels Conclusion, and last farewell then,  
To churchyard and those, that defend his when.   
A Man that hath more things than two, to put him unto pains,  
Hath even so many cares the more to work him weary brains.  
So I, that late have laboured hard, and plucked at my plough,  
Am come to town, where now I find more matters then enough.  
Mothen I looked for by much, more matters to then needs,  
more makings and more medlynges far, than I have herbs or weeds.  
And all against me one alone, a sorry simple man,  
That toils and travails for my food, to earn it as I can.  
And gladly would in quiet be, to swink and live in rest,  
But dreamers will not su●er me, they nettle so my nest.  
A surrejoinder, dreamer brings, the second a decree,  
A mariner brings in his boar, and he the third will be.  
And so they join and 〈◊〉 in ●ease, god grant them well to run  
For I shall show them if I can, a course ere I have done.  
The dreamer first full we. I know, I shook him by the sleeve,  
Whereat the other. two. I trow, are angry and do grieve.  
But that no force be as be may, here goeth the beast abroad,  
Dreamer awake, mariner row, decree man look abroad.  
The beast will turn I lay a groat, and give you all a trip,  
Why now sirs now, now foot it well, this beast begins to skip.  
And first to master dreamer turns, and his surrejoindre to,  
Wherein all things be well he saith, that he doth dream and do.  
He dreams he says and truly means, to put things in good stay  
Short sir dreamer, a bandy ho, that ball must needs away.  
If that your dream have such intent, then hath it an effect,  
And that effect your Western Will, would not have men suspect:  
But take it as a dream says he, and fantasy of the head,  
A finer freke by Rood than you, I have his works well read.  
Although he chop in churl's terms, and carps in uncouth speech,  
Yet know I with a finger wet, where wise men might him seeche.  
That if he whip his whirry so, he may chance lick a clown,  
To whip it under water quite, and craire and carriage drown.  
But since he is become my judge, and judgeth me amiss,  
In noting me quite out of rule, as his wide wisdom is,  
He shall well know, and so shall you, and the decreer too,  
That for my rule, when I was young, this was I taught to do.  
My father put me first to school, where I a master had:  
Of whom I had precepts and stripes as fitted for a lad.  
He taught me there to fear my god, and love him with my might.  
To serve the king, and pray for him, and all his counsel right.  
Then next to honour those my friends, that kept me so at school,  
And this while I a scholar was, was every day my rule.  
And sins that time, my vicar hath full like a christian man,  
Taught me to tread in gods high way, and keep it as I can.  
To be obedient to the king, and to the law also,  
And do my duty to the powers, and let their matters go.  
Que nostra su●t carare lo, he titled at my door,  
And bade me print it on my posts, and spread it on my floor.  
And leele love and labour eke, he bade me learn to know,  
And keep my plough for profit sake, and thank god to I trow.  
And told me how there hangs a bell, within our parish church,  
which he doth twang each morning rathe, before we go to wurche,  
That tales to me, and others more, our neighbours there about,  
This term which I shall tell you now, as I can bring it out.  
Que supra nos, nihil ad nos, this bell tynges us to ken:  
And this he said the bell warned me, as it did other men.  
And when I saw this Dicars when, I was so bold to tell:  
That Dicar in his draffyshe dream, had not herd this bell well.  
And then for thy, forsooth and god, my horn and scrape I took:  
And scratched in a few feet lines, for dreamers on to look:  
And so sir thus I meant no more, but minded him to know  
His duty (as I meant mine own) and farther not to go,  
Till in his toys he tickled me, as lofty lad on loud,  
And shope me shares to sharp me with, to carp out of a cloud.  
And if you roll thus out of tune for raining him this way,  
To keep himself in order such, as he should do I say:  
And take the judgement to your hand, and term me out of rule,  
Then trow me well, you turn me wide from Camel to a mule.  
Which camel can not crouch withal, nor carry with him home,  
But shape and shake it to yourselves, like lumps of your own lome.  
But wellaway, I wander wide, for churchyard meant it well.  
And so he says, and so say you, and so your writings tell,  
So sometimes houses fired are, by meaning well in lights,  
And then the meaning is but marred, & they mad meaning wights.  
But since you will needs have me seek the meaning of this when,  
Mean it to those whom it doth touch, and 'scuse it as you can.  
And then let wise men dame and judge atween Dicar and me.  
Which of us two is out of rule, I mean or I or he.  
And first let me now are you all, what signifies this when?  
That ca●●es with him at his tail, so great a jarring than.  
Hold is it in hand a present time, or future time to come?  
Or is it admirantis word, as school men call it some.  
It must needs mean a matter mad, as far as I can see,  
But on go to, your wits are fine, mean you it out for me.  
Dream▪ doth dream, and whence us out, a wondre of these whence,  
Whereof some whence are wonders well, and meet for whence men's  
But some f●om gammuth gront and groan above ela a note:  
And those wild whence are whend to large, I dare you gauge my cote,  
what when is this, that he whence out, when justice joins to truth?  
whose seat is that? how joins justice? dreamer say on in sooth.  
And nod your noddles nowein one, and make a trinity.  
Full workmanly to work this when, if that it will so be.  
And first way well what justice is, to whom it doth pertain,  
who sways the sword, who doth decree, look to the matter plain.  
From whence he comes, what branch he bears, & who & which him use,  
And answer justice to the wrong, wherewith you him accuse.  
And mean your meaning as you mean, & dream not in your sleep.  
And show what jolly order now, in this your when you keep.  
But short to make of all your whence, to take the principal,  
This is among the rest the worst, and stands the last of all.  
when Rex doth reign and rule the roast, lo thus you range at last,  
A marvelous when that such a when, should out in print be paste.  
Doth not Rex reign sir dreamer now? what whenning term is this?  
If Rex reign not? who reigneth then? a saucy when this is.  
And whend at length and large in deed, beyond a subjects wit,  
That god defend that I should dream, or that, or like of it.  
And yet I trow I have a bill for cattle that I sold:  
That says how Rex hath reigned vi. year almost I dare be bold.  
And either is your when full false, or my bill is not true,  
And which is truest of them both, let me now ask of you.  
As for myself I make no doubts, but that your when is wrong.  
And that Rex reigns as he hath done, and shall I trust reign long.  
Which as in school I was first taught, to pray that he may do.  
So every subject let him seek to have that prayer too.  
Thus could I touch some other whence, wherein you when at large.  
A great deal passed your compass to, and as much past your charge.  
But those It leave by light of this, for to be scanned and seen▪  
To those that better judgements have, than you or I. I ween.  
And now will take your then in hand wherewith you knit your when  
In publishing it thus to me, and to all other men.  
Than baleful barns be blithe you say, that here in England won:  
Our steyfe shall stint you undertake, our dreadful days are done.  
An assurance here you make, that baleful barns we be,  
And that in strife we are also, and dreadful days do see.  
But God defend it should be true, which your full scantycke head:  
Hath publysht to so open eyes, for to be seen and red.  
For once for me I make no doughtes, nor no good subject el●es:  
But we a noble sovereign have, as all our statutes tells.  
And as all orders else besides do will us for to know:  
Who governs us and is our head, and rules us all also.  
And under him have other powers to see that law be done:  
To 'gree and tune us in accord, if we be out of tune.  
Under whose rule and order eke, all we that subjects be:  
Do live and join as fytteth us, in one for to agree.  
And in the town where I do dwell, I know no strife or dread:  
But every man there lives in tune as subjects to their head.  
And meddels not but with their ploughs, & sometime with their bow:  
And prate with Peter and with Paul, their duties for to know.  
And learn so for to keep them still in order as they can:  
Except such wranglers wrangle them, with such large when & than  
And so I trust they do else where, which for my part I pray,  
That long we may so join in one, what so your when doth say.  
But yet such dreadful whans & thence, which doth the matter mar  
Were better quite, pulled out of sight, than showed as they are.  
And so show western will from me, and wat and Herman too.  
And will them wind their takle well, not as they wonted to do.  
For if they lean to learn such whence, it will be long I fear,  
Ere they will channel well their craire, that should them safely bear.  
Domine saluum fac regem, & da pacem in diebus nostris. T. Camel.  
The harteburne I own you is, if you come to Lynne,  
I pray you to take my poor house for your inn.
