The Metsays:
The text of this book is a series of moralizing poems on the merits of the ascetic life, three of which are illustrated. The painting illustrates the parable of a recluse who accepts bread from an infidel (depicted here as the English monarch Charles II) and is chided by a dog. The beautiful birds in the margin of the page compete for attention with the witty illustration.

May 14, 1607: Captain John Smith helps to found the first permanent English settlement in the U.S. at Jamestown, Virginia. The trip began on Dec. 20, 1606 with the three small ships, the Discovery, the Susan Constant, and the Godspeed.
Famine, disease and conflict with local Native American tribes in the first two years brought Jamestown to the brink of failure before the arrival of a new group of settlers and supplies in 1610.

Tip for anyone visiting the USA once we can safely leave lockdown,
If you tell one of your American friends that you’ve never had a particular food, it will almost certainly become a personal mission for them to get you that food.
My Italian exchange student friend did this all the time, and he almost always got the food he wanted.
