Talano de Molese _dreamed, That a Wolfe rent and tore his wives face and throate. Which dreame he told to her, with advise to keep her selfe out of danger; which she refusing to doe, received what followed._
Whereby (with some indifferent reason) it is concluded, that Dreames do not alwayes fall out to be leasings.
Blondello _(in a merry manner) caused_ Guiotto _to beguile himselfe of a good dinner: for which deceit,_ Guiotto _became cunningly revenged, by procuring_ Blondello _to be unreasonably beaten and misused._

_Two yong Gentlemen, the one named_ Melisso, _borne in the City of_ Laiazzo: _and the other_ Giosefo _of_ Antioch, _travailed together unto_ Salomon, _the famous King of_ Great Britaine. _The one desiring to learne what he should do, whereby to compasse and winne the love of men. The other craved to be enstructed, by what meanes hee might reclaime an headstrong and unruly wife. And what answeres the wise King gave unto them both, before they departed away from him._
