      In London. England. Who knows why?Perhaps this rumpled guyFrom central casting or a page of Dickens.He’s taking ordinary usTo haunts of the illustrious,Where even dull pulse quickens. A red felt hat’s dark fingered brim,Food-spotted vest are—him.A mo

      In the year of our Lord 687, in cause of an early, wet spring, the body of Saint Cuthbert was laid in the ground to rest. On the tomb were figured angels and seraphim of plain but wonderful design. And among these flitted cherubs, like apricots set i

      Printed by Edw: Allde, at the charges of the

      Author. 1618

      To the Truly

      Noble and Right

      Honorable Lord

      GEORGE MARQUIS

      of Buckingham, Viscount Villiers, Baron of

      Whaddon, Justice in Eyre of all his Majesty's

      Forests, Parks, and Chases beyond Trent, Master

      of the Horse to his Majesty, and one of the Gentlemen

      of his Highness Royal Bed-Chamber, Knight

      of the most Noble Order of the Garter, and

      one of his Majesty's most Honorable

      Privy Council of both the

      Kingdoms of England

      and Scotland.

      ight Honorable, and worthy honoured Lord, as in my Travels, I was entertained, welcomed, and relieved by many Honourable Lords, Worshipful Knights, Esquires, Gentlemen, and others both in England and Scotland. So now your Lordship's inclination hath incited, or invited my poor muse to shelter herself under the shadow of your honorable patronage, not that there is any worth at all in my sterile invention, but in all humility I acknowledge that it is only your Lordship's acceptance, that is able to make this nothing, something, and withal engage me ever.

      Your Honors,

      In all observance,

      JOHN TAYLOR.

      TO ALL MY LOVING ADVENTURERS,

      BY WHAT NAME OR TITLE SOEVER,

      MY GENERAL SALUTATION.

      Table of Contents

      eader, these Travels of mine into Scotland, were not undertaken, neither in imitation, or emulation of any man, but only devised by myself, on purpose to make trial of my friends both in this Kingdom of England, and that of Scotland, and because I would be an eye-witness of divers things which I had heard of that Country; and whereas many shallow-brained Critics, do lay an aspersion on me, that I was set on by others, or that I did undergo this project, either in malice, or mockage of Master Benjamin Jonson, I vow by the faith of a Christian, that their imaginations are all wide, for he is a gentleman, to whom I am so much obliged for many undeserved courtesies that I have received from him, and from others by his favour, that I durst never to be so impudent or ungrateful, as either to suffer any man's persuasions, or mine own instigation, to incite me, to make so bad a requital, for so much goodness formerly received; so much for that, and now Reader, if you expect

      That I should write of cities' situations,

      Or that of countries I should make relations:

      Of brooks, crooks, nooks; of rivers, bournes and rills,

      Of mountains, fountains, castles, towers and hills,

      Of shires, and piers, and memorable things,

      Of lives and deaths of great commanding kings,

      I touch not those, they not belong to me;

      But if such things as these you long to see,

      Lay down my book, and but vouchsafe to read

      The learned Camden, or laborious Speed.

      And so God speed you and me, whilst I rest

      Yours in all thankfulness:

      John Taylor.

      The moon full three days old, the wind full south;

      At these times I began this trick of youth.

      My legs I made my oars, and rowed by land,
