Where after he had sitten a long time, and was almost pined with hunger, and would not for all that declare what he was,2 at the last he desired that the Schoolmaster of the town might be brought to him, which at that time was one Leonard Cox, a man very well learned. As soon as he came unto him, Frith by and by began in the Latin tongue to bewail his captivity.
