 Dost thou hear, honest fellow, do you

know one Harry Tudor, who belongs to the court.

 Yes, said the man, follow me, and I

will bring you to him.

 With that he had him presently up

into the guard chamber, telling one of the yeomen of the guard, there was one, that enquired for Harry Tudor.

 Replied the yeoman, I know him very

well; if you please to go along with me, I’ll bring you to him immediately.

 So the cobler followed the yeaman,

admiring very much the prodigious finery of the rooms which he carried him thro'. He thought within himself that the yeo- man was mistaken in the person whom he enquired for, for, said he, he whom I look for, is a plain, merry, honest fel- low, his name is Harry Tudor; we drank two pots together not long since. I sup- pose he may belong to some lord or other about the court.

 I tell you friend, replied the yeoman,

I know him very well, do you but fol- low me, and I shall bring you to him straight.
