by Francis Jollie and Sons, Carlisle, Cumberland, 1811. Transcription of the Legend of St Anthony, from Jollie's Cumberland Guide and Directory, published by Jollie and Sons, Carlisle, Cumberland, 1811. On pp.17-18 of part 1 of the guide "In the ailes on each side, are some strange legendary paintings of the history of St. Anthony, St. Cuthbert, and St. Augustine: one represents the saint visited by an unclean spirit, who tempts him in a very indecent manner. Above every picture is a distich relative to the subject." "We shall give here the following as a specimen of these very curious compositions." "1Of Anton story who lyste to here In Egypt was he bornt as doyth aper" "2Her is he babtyd Anton they hym call gret landes and renttes to hym doeth fawl" "3As scoler to the kyrk here is he gayn To here the sermontt and aftyr itt hes tayn" "4Here gayffith he to the kyrk boith land &rent To leve in povert is hys intent" "5Here in Agelso to oon aulde man he wentt To lerne perfeccion is hys intent" "6Here makyth he breder as men of relig' And techyth them vertu to leve in pr fecco'" "7Here to the wylderness as armet he gone & thus temptyth hym covytice with oon gold dyshie" "8The sprytt of fornycacon to hy' her doth apper & thus he chastith his body with thorne & brer" "9The devill thus hat hy' wounded wt lance and staf And levyth hy' for deyd lyying at hys cayf" "10Here Crist hath hym helyd the devill he dot away And comfortyd his confessor deyd as he lay" "11Here comands he yis bests and ffast away ya slie Ye bor hy' obbays &wt hy' bydeds he" "12Here makyth he a well and water haith uptayne & comfortyd hys breder thyrst was nere slayn" "13Here comandith he bes tto mak hy' a cayf & thus he berys Paulyn & lay hy' ingraf" "14Thus walkid he over the flode water doth hy' no der Theodor hy' se &dar not cu' hy' nere" "15Here departith anton to hevyn his soul is gone Betwixt his two breder in wilder's tho' alone" "16Here in wilderns they bery hym that no man shud hym knaw For soo he comanded syne home first ya draw" "17Thus levyth he i wilderness xxii yere &more Without any company bot the wylde boor." |
