Chapter .xlj.
And it fortuned at two years' end, that Pharao dreamed, and
thought that he stood by a river's side, and that there came out
of the river seven goodly kine and fat fleshed, and fed in a
meadow. And him thought that seven other kine came up after them
out of the river evil favored and lean fleshed and stood by the
other upon the brink of the river. And the evil favored and lean
fleshed kine: ate up the seven well favored and fat kine: and he
awoke therewith. And he slept again and dreamed the second time,
that seven ears of corn grew upon one stalk rank and goodly. And
that seven thin ears blasted with the wind, sprang up after them:
and that the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full
ears. And then Pharao awaked: and see, here is his dream. When the
morning came, his spirit was troubled; And he sent and called for
all the soothsayers of Egypt and all the wise men thereof, and
told them his dream: but there was none of them that could
interpret it unto Pharao. Then spake the chief butler unto Pharao
saying. I do remember my fault this day. Pharao was angry with his
servants, and put in ward in the chief marshal's house both me and
the chief baker. And we dreamed both of us in one night and each
man's dream of a sundry interpretation.
