When _Melisso_ and _Giosefo_ had past over the Bridge, where they intended to part each from other; a sudden motion happened into the minde of _Melisso_, which caused him to demaund of an aged man (who sate craving almes of Passengers at the Bridge foot) how the Bridge was called: Sir, answered the old man, this is called, The Goose Bridge. Which words when _Giosefo_ heard, hee called to minde the saying of King _Salomon_, and therefore immediately saide to _Melisso_. Worthy friend, and partner in my travell, I dare now assure you, that the counsell given me by King _Salomon_, may fall out most effectuall and true: For I plainely perceive, that I knew not how to handle my selfe-will'd-wife, untill the Muletter did instruct me. So, requesting still to enjoy the others Company, they journeyed on, till at the length they came to _Laiazzo_, where _Giosefo_ retained _Melisso_ still with him, for some repose after so long a journey, and entertained him with very honourable respect and courtesie. One day _Giosefo_ said to his Wife: Woman, this Gentleman is my intimate friend, and hath borne me company in all my travell: such dyet therefore as thou wilt welcome him withall, I would have it ordered (in dressing) according to his direction. _Melisso_ perceiving that _Giosefo_ would needs have it to be so; in few words directed her such a course, as (for ever) might be to her Husbands contentment. But she, not altring a jote from her former disposition, but rather farre more froward and tempestuous: delighted to vexe and crosse him, doing every thing, quite contrary to the order appointed. Which _Giosefo_ observing, angerly he said unto her. Was it not tolde you by my friend, in what manner he would have our Supper drest? She turning fiercely to him, replyed. Am I to be directed by him or thee? Supper must and shall bee drest as I will have it: if it pleaseth mee, I care not who doth dislike it; if thou wouldst have it otherwise, goe seeke both your Suppers where you may have it. _Melisso_ marvelling at her froward answere, rebuked her for it in very kind manner: whereupon, _Giosefo_ spake thus to her. I perceive wife, you are the same woman as you were wount to be: but beleeve me on my word, I shall quite alter you from this curst complexion. So turning to _Melisso_, thus he proceeded. Noble friend, we shall try anone, whether the counsell of King _Salomon_ bee effectuall, or no; and I pray you, let it not be offensive to you to see it; but rather hold all to be done in merriment. And because I would not be hindered by you, doe but remember the answere which the Muletter gave us, when we tooke compassion on his Mule. Worthy friend, replyed _Melisso_, I am in your owne house, where I purpose not to impeach whatsoever you doe.
