An English garner; ingatherings from our history and literature . ng* scholars in Cambridge, who, going into * some ofthe town to break their fast with puddings, havinsf f^^ ^^/^ yet . r o o living in sent to their college for bread and beer, the hostess them twelve puddings, broiled ; and finding amongthemselves that they had but eleven pence, they were muchtroubled about the other penny, not having any book aboutthem, to lay in pawn for it. Quoth one, bolder than the rest, Audaces fortuna javat: Fortune favours the venturous ; and biting off a piece ofthe puddings end, by wonderful luck, spat out a singlepenny, that paid for it; which, it seems, was buried in theoatmeal or spice. So for that time, they saved their credits. But I will leave this discourse of a Pennys worth to theirjudgements and experience, who, having been troubled withovermuch money, afterward, in no long time, have been fain,after a. long dinner with Duke Humphrey, to take anap on penniless bench, only to verify the old proverb,A fool and his money is soon £JVG. Gar. VI. 18
