Lords and ladies, as stiff as new dresses and broderie could render them, and all in buckle, came as thick and as gay as butterflies on a summer's day. 23 Howsomever, as it were as difficult — nay, almost impossible — to describe, particularly, the different occurrences at a crowded feast, as the various feats of offence and defence in a battle or siege ; I shall, as more befitting this biogra- phicall historie, confine myself, like an epic poet, more especially to the conduct of my hero, hum- ...ble as he be. Largosse then, be it known, was in nowise cast in the shade by his betters ; for the Mayor, with whom he had more than ever ingratiated himself, spared no expense in furnishing him forth in that gear which befitted his calling, so that he was the very Fool of fools ; and not even the King his Jester himself, with all his courtly apparel, could of a possibility mock at this humble member of his whimsical fraternity, in respect of his outward bearing. The encounter of these disciples of Momus was ridiculously solemn.
