As I fortuned to take my voyage into Thessaly, about certaine affaires which I had to doe (for there myne auncestry by my mothers side inhabiteth, descended of the line of that most excellent person Plutarch, and of Sextus the Philosopher his Nephew, which is to us a great honour) and after that by much travell and great paine I had passed over the high mountaines and slipperie vallies, and had ridden through the cloggy fallowed fields; perceiving that my horse did waxe somwhat slow, and to the intent likewise I might repose and strengthen my self (being weary with riding) I lighted off my horse, and wiping away the sweat from every part of his body, I unbridled him, and walked him softly in my hand, to the end he might pisse, and ease himselfe of his wearinesse and travell: and while hee went grazing freshly in the field (casting his head sometimes aside, as a token of rejoycing and gladnesse) I perceived a little before me two companions riding, and so I overtaking them made the third.
