Trust me Plantagenet these Oxford schools Are richly seated near the river side: The mountains full of fat and fallow deer, The batling pastures laid with kine and flocks, The town gorgeous with high built colleges, And scholars seemly in their graven attire. Learned in searching principles of art, What is thy judgement, Iaquis Vandermast. Bestir thee Iaquis take not now the foil, Least thou dost lose what foretime thou didst gain. Why Vandermast art thou overcome, Bacon dispute with him, and tri his skill: Why Bacon whither dost thou send him, Is this Prince Edward Henries royal son, How Mars all I the figure of his face, Y to lovely and be to with Amoretta's. What pleasant fellow is this. What says the lord of Castille and the earl of Lincoln, that they are in such earnest and secret talk. How shall we pass this day my lord. If but a third were added to these two They did surpass those gorgeous images, That gloried Ida with rich beauty's wealth. Nay rather Henry let us as we be, Ride for to visit Oxford with our train, Fain would I see your Universities, And what learned men your Academy yields, From Haspurg have I brought a learned clarke, To hold dispute with English Orators. This doctor surnamed Jaques Vandermast, A Germane born, passed into Padua, To Florence, and to fair Bolonia, To Paris, Rheims, and stately Orleans, And talking there with men of art, put down The chiefest of them all in Aphorisms, In Magic, and the Mathematic rules, Now let us Henry try him in your schools. Now English Harry here begins the game, We shall see sport between these learned men. Now lovely Prince the prince of Albions wealth, How fares the lady Ellinor and you: What have you courted and found Castille fit, To answer England in equiuo ence Wilt be a match betwixt bonny Nell and thee. Presumptuous Friar, what scoffst thou at a king, What dost thou taunt us with thy peasants fare, And give us cates fit for country swains, Henry proceeds this jest of thy consent, To twit us with such a pittance of such price, Tell me, and Frederick will not grieve the long. Where is the Prince, my lord?
Plot summary
Plot — Friar Bacon and Friar Bongay
Primce Bdwafd is in love with the country wench Margarety and he orders Bay to woo her on his behalf. He does so, but she falls for him rather than the Prince. Meanwhile BRiamlBaeoH is questioned by his academic superiors, who suspect him of practising black magic. He explains his plans to make a brazen head which will lecture in philosophy, and to surround England with a defensive wall of brass. The one sceptic, DEIBOTGER, is shown up when Bacon uses his powers to reveal that he sneaks off at night to play cards at a tavern when he should be reading. Prineejkdward and Ralphithelfeal swap clothes and identities when visiting Bacon, but he sees through the deception with ease. Bacon shows Edward events at Suffolk through a magic mirror: Daey is wooing Margaret for himself, and they are to be married by FriamBungay; but Bacon magically strikes Bungay dumb, then brings him to Oxford for dinner. Edward rides to Suffolk to confront Lacy, but Margaret’s determination reconciles him to the situation: even if he tries to remove the obstacle by killing Lacy, she will never love him and will kill herself to be with Lacy. Prince Edward’s future wife, Elifi@f of Castile, arrives in England with a group of foreign potentates. The Emperor of Germany has brought along Wandérmast} a famous magician, to compete with England’s best scholars at Oxford. Vandermast’s first opponent in magic is BriamBuiigay, who conjures up a golden tree. Vandermast summons Hercules to pull it down, but Hercules proves to be more subservient to Fraribacen) who completes his victory by magically sending Vandermast back to Germany. At the ensuing dinner, th@|Emiperot is offended by the mean academic fare, so Bacon conjures up a more sumptuous feast. Bacon’s brazen head is ready, but he is tired from staying up all night waiting for it to speak. He appoints his scholar Miles to watch, and wake him when it does. The head speaks enigmatically and is magically destroyed, but Miles fails to wake his master in time. Bacon sacks him and later sends a devil to carry him to Hell. Two country squires want to marry Margarée but she asks for ten days’ grace to make a decision, confident that Lacy will come for her before then. What actually arrives is a letter telling her that he is to marry someone else, so she decides to enter a nunnery. The two squires kill one another in a duel, and their sons, watching from Oxford through Bacon’s magic mirror, do the same. Bacon smashes the mirror in remorse and…
