Saint Agnes, one of the high hils, which I specially recited in
my former booke, by his entrailes (like Prometheus) feedeth the
Tynners pecking, or picking bils, with a long liued profit,
albeit, their scarcle Eagle eyes sometimes mistake the shadow
for the substance, and so offer vp degenerate teares, as a late
sacrifice to repentance.
The neighbours haue obserued, that of two Lakes, neere adioyning
to this hill, and so each to other, the one will foster fish,
and the other none at all.
Neyther may I omit newe Kaye, a place in the North coast of
this Hundred, so called, because in former times, the neighbours
attempted, to supplie the defect of nature, by Art, in making there
a Kay, for the Rode of shipping, which conceyt they still retayne,
though want of means in themselues, or the place, haue left the
effect in Nubibus: and onely lent them the benefit of Lestercockes
and fisher-boates.
I cannot finish this Hundred, with the relation of many more
Gentlemen, eyther through want of them, or in my selfe.
