  7    1,  2|         while I did greedily put a great morsel of meate in my mouth,
  8    1,  2|         committed? verily there is great lamentation and weeping

 22    2,  8|          City, and being mooved by great desire, I viewed the whole
 23    2,  8|          woman, accompanied with a great many servants, towards whom
 24    2,  8|         envying Nature, shewed her great cunning. For they were so
 25    2,  8|           fire and love.~Thus with great care Byrrhena gave me in
 26    2, 10|           it a remembrance of that great and heavenly light, as of

 34    2, 11|           in silke robes, did fill great gemmes and pearles made
 35    2, 11|            she). Marry (quoth I) a great lampe with oyle, pots of
 36    2, 11|      against me and put me in very great feare, insomuch that I marvelled
 37    2, 11|           might be in honour of so great a god. To whom I answered,
 38    2, 11|          torch went out, that with great pain I could scarce get
 39    2, 11|          behold I saw three men of great stature, heaving and lifting
 40    3, 12|          fortune, behold I heard a great noyse and cry at the dore,
 41    3, 12|            to give sentence in the great Theatre, by reason of the
 42    3, 12|          Theatre, by reason of the great multitude that was there,
 43    3, 13|            in his conscience at so great a crime hee ran away, and
 44    3, 13|           I fortuned to espy three great theeves attempting to break
 45    3, 13|    especially since they put me in great fear, and assayed to rob
 46    3, 13|            began to beat me with a great stone: but in the end I
 47    3, 13|     unpunished, but also have some great reward of the city for my
 48    3, 14|           murther, which deserveth great punishment, this malefactor
 49    3, 14|        alone could kill three such great and valiant persons, wherefore
 50    3, 14|          intend to reward you with great honours, and to make you
 51    3, 15|          fire to burn. Then by the great force of this sorcerie,
 52    3, 16|        Fotis came running to me in great feare, and said that her
 53    3, 16|          paps, to make that in the great flames of my love I may
 54    3, 17|            out of myne arse grew a great taile, now my face became
 55    3, 17|      wretch, until such time as by great noyse and rumbling, hee

 57    3, 17|       house, they followed us with great staves, and willed one of
 58    3, 17|          they beat us forward over great hils out of the way. But
 59    3, 17|            time I passed through a great faire, I came among a multitude
 60    4, 18|          the river, environed with great thick trees, which had long
 61    4, 18|            he came swearing with a great staffe in his hand, and
 62    4, 18|          teare me down. Out came a great company of Bandogs and mastifes,
 63    4, 18|             and scourged me with a great knotted whip till I was
 64    4, 19|         what with the long way, my great burthen, the beating of
 65    4, 19|        point of a hill down into a great valley. Then I considering
 66    4, 19|       first there was an exceeding great hill compassed about with
 67    4, 19|           substance, how little or great soever it be. And to the
 68    4, 19|         caught his hand and with a great naile nailed it fast to
 69    4, 19|            though he were a man of great enterprise, yet could he
 70    4, 19|          he fell upon a marvellous great stone and burst his ribs,
 71    4, 19|       wherby he vomited and spewed great flakes of blood, and presently
 72    4, 19|            where we found a man of great fame called Demochares,
 73    4, 19|            purposed to set forth a great game, where should be a
 74    4, 19|           and chasing, he ordained great towers and Tables to move
 75    4, 19|       encounter in: he had ready a great number of men and wilde
 76    4, 19|       those beasts. But amongst so great preparations of noble price,
 77    4, 19|          which he nourished to his great cost, and esteemed more
 78    4, 20|           of Thracia, which was of great acquaintance with this Demochares,
 79    4, 20|          unto us x. crowns, having great store in his coffers. Then (
 80    4, 20|           we perceived before us a great sepulchre standing out of
 81    4, 20|          we saw the night before a great aboundance of treasure:
 82    4, 20|           at the ougly sight of so great a monster will not quayle
 83    4, 20|             Then I impatient of so great a misery, ranne in among
 84    4, 20|         them all in this manner: O great and extreame mischance,
 85    4, 21|      departed. And yet for all the great sleep that came upon me,
 86    4, 21|          were an Asse, yet I had a great affection for her. The virgin
 87    4, 21|         rent her garments, for the great sorrow she was in; but the
 88    4, 21|          be contented to give us a great quantity of mony to redeeme
 89    4, 21|             behold there came in a great multitude of theeves armed
 90    4, 22|            journies on land and by great perils on water, to behold
 91    4, 22|       judgement and competence the great Jupiter had affiance) preferre
 92    4, 22|          of her anger, not without great rage, I pray thee (quoth
 93    4, 22|          passed over many dayes in great sorrow. But now the time
 94    4, 22|          weeped likewise, and with great lamentation was ordained
 95    4, 22|       pleasant wood invironed with great and mighty trees. Shee espied
 96    4, 22|         the house disagree unto so great a majesty, that verily it
 97    4, 22|      beheld every thing there with great affection, she saw storehouses
 98    4, 22|       lacked there: but among such great store of treasure this was
 99    4, 22|            the same. And when with great pleasure shee had viewed
100    4, 22|           you marvell Madame at so great riches? behold, all that
101    4, 22|            thus she passed forth a great while, and as it happeneth,
102    4, 22|       miserable fortune, came with great dolour and sorrow to comfort
103    4, 22|         thou shalt purchase to mee great sorrow, and to thyself utter
104    4, 22|           deprive your selfe of so great and worthy estate. Psyches
105    4, 22|          delecates, they conceived great envy within their hearts,
106    4, 22|            a flaxen beard, and had great delight in hunting the dales
107    4, 22|            our younger sister hath great abundance of treasure, and
108    4, 22|           no skill how to use such great plenty of riches. Saw you
109    4, 22|        what was in the house, what great store of jewels, what glittering
110    4, 22|           passe, at length for the great affection which hee may
111    4, 22|           within thy belly from so great danger, and see not, neither
112    4, 22|      called thy sisters, for their great hatred and breach of sisterly
113    4, 22|        child, but a mother: O what great joy beare you unto us in
114    4, 22|        Infant nourished amongst so great plenty of Treasure? That
115    4, 22|          that her husband was of a great province, a merchant, and
116    4, 22|      cursed queane hath invented a great lie, or else that she never
117    4, 22|         sort, Thou (ignorant of so great evill) thinkest thy selfe
118    4, 22|          unto you, that there is a great serpent full of deadly poyson,
119    4, 22|       heartily thanke you for your great kindnesse toward me, and
120    4, 22|           doth menace and threaten great evill unto mee, if I should
121    4, 22|            not through feare of so great an enterprise fallen out

124    4, 22|        next running river, for the great anguish and dolour that
125    4, 22|       rather adore and worship the great god Cupid, and winne him
126    4, 22|            met together, and after great embracing and salutation,
127    4, 22|         Then I being stricken with great pleasure, and desirous to
128    4, 22|          thou be so bold to doe so great a mischiefe? Depart from
129    4, 22|           words shee departed in a great rage out of her chamber.~
130    4, 22|         went thitherward, and with great paine and travell, moved
131    4, 22|           with her haire, and with great weeping and lamentation
132    4, 22|          desired pardon, saying, O great and holy Goddesse, I pray
133    4, 22|        corne, untill the ire of so great a Goddesse be past, or until
134    4, 22|          that I be refreshed of my great labour and travell. Then
135    4, 22|           spouse and sister of the great God Jupiter which art adored
136    4, 22|         and worshipped amongst the great temples of Samos, called

143    4, 22|           ground. Then she tooke a great quantity of wheat, of barly,
144    4, 22|         Psyches, she departed to a great banket that was prepared
145    4, 22|         emote, taking pitty of her great difficulty and labour, cursing
146    4, 22|        espouse to Cupid, who is in great danger of her person, I

151    4, 22|            to passe: for she saw a great rocke gushing out most horrible
152    4, 22|          on each side shee did see great Dragons, which were stretching
153    4, 22|            sense, by reason of the great perill which she saw, insomuch

157    4, 22|             shee was ravished with great desire, saying, Am not I
158    4, 22| everlasting husband. By and by the great banket and marriage feast
159    4, 23|            and dales) we came to a great cave, where they laded us
160    4, 23|       evill lucke, for we have had great wounds since, and losse
161    4, 23|      wounded, and told them of our great tardity and slownesse by

209    6, 33|     garrets and windowes, throwing great stones upon our heads, that
210    6, 33|        there was one that hurled a great flint upon a woman, which
211    6, 33|         standing on the toppe of a great Cypresse tree) spake unto

293    9, 47|         eares were made little, my great and stonie teeth waxed lesse
294    9, 47|          rendered testimonie of so great a benefit which I received
295    9, 47|           to the goddesse, but the great Priest understanding all
296    9, 47|             the beasts savage: thy great servitude: the ill and dangerous
297    9, 47|         thou art delivered from so great miseries, by the providence

307    9, 48|     informed, came towards me with great diligence to see me, as
308    9, 48|         impossible.~On a night the great priest appeared unto me,
309    9, 48|            much hastinesse, or too great slacknesse, considering
310    9, 48|      before day to speake with the great Priest, whom I fortuned
311    9, 48|         lead me to the gate of the great temple, where at the first
312    9, 48|          arrived on every coast, a great multitude of Priests, who

315    9, 48|        dispositions, appeasest the great tempests of fortune and

319    9, 48|           concord, yet there was a great difference of order and
320    9, 48|        povertie, for I had spent a great part of my goods in travell
321    9, 48|           low estate withdrew me a great while.~In the end being
322    9, 48|       stirred forward, not without great trouble of mind, I was constrained
323    9, 48|    vestiments, and entring into so great ceremonies, fearest to fall

325    9, 48|      thinke thy selfe happy for so great benefits. And know thou
326    9, 48|     Finally after a few dayes, the great god Osiris appeared to me
327    9, 48|            I executed my office in great joy with a shaven Crowne.~ ~
