But I am affraide, that ouer many of our trauelers into _Italie_, do not exchewe the way to _Circes_ Court: but go, and ryde, and runne, and flie thether, they make great hast to cum to her: they make great sute to serue her: yea, I could point out some with my finger, that neuer had gone out of England, but onelie to serue _Circes_, in _Italie_. Vanitie and vice, and any licence to ill liuyng in England was counted stale and rude vnto them. And so, beyng Mules and Horses before they went, returned verie Swyne and Asses home agayne; yet euerie where verie Foxes with as suttle and busie heades; and where they may, verie Woolues, with cruell malicious hartes. [Sidenote: A trewe Picture of a knight of Circes Court.] A maruelous monster, which, for filthines of liuyng, for dulnes to learning him selfe, for wilinesse in dealing with others, for malice in hurting without cause, should carie at once in one bodie, the belie of a Swyne, the head of an Asse, the brayne of a Foxe, the wombe of a wolfe. If you thinke, we iudge amisse, and write to sore against you, heare, [Sidenote: The Italians iudgement of Englishmen brought vp in Italie.] what the _Italian_ sayth of the English Man, what the master reporteth of the scholer: who vttereth playnlie, what is taught by him, and what learned by you, saying _Englese Italianato, e vn diabolo incarnato_, that is to say, you remaine men in shape and facion, but becum deuils in life and condition. This is not, the opinion of one, for some priuate spite, but the iudgement of all, in a common Prouerbe, which riseth, of that learnyng, and those maners, which you gather in _Italie_: [Sidenote: The Italian diffameth them selfe, to shame the Englishe man.] a good Scholehouse of wholesome doctrine, and worthy Masters of commendable Scholers, where the Master had rather diffame hym selfe for hys teachyng, than not shame his Scholer for his learnyng. A good nature of the maister, and faire conditions of the scholers. And now chose you, you _Italian_ Englishe men, whether you will be angrie with vs, for calling you monsters, or with the _Italianes_, for callyng you deuils, or else with your owne selues, that take so much paines, and go so farre, to make your selues both. If some yet do not well vnderstand, [Sidenote: An English man Italianated.] what is an English man Italianated, I will plainlie tell him. He, that by liuing, and traueling in _Italie_, bringeth home into England out of _Italie_, the Religion, the learning, the policie, the experience, the maners of _Italie_.... These be the inchantements of _Circes_, brought out of _Italie_, to marre mens maners in England; much, by example of ill life, but more by preceptes of fonde bookes, [Sidenote: _Italian_ bokes translated into English.]
