Two footmen at the least, with choise of steeds,
Attired when she rides in gorgeous weeds.
Zodon must haue his Charrot gilded ore,
And when he triumphes, fower bare before,
In pure white Satten to vsher out his way,
To make him glorious on his progresse day.
Vaile bonnet he that doth not passing by,
Admiring on that Sunne inriching skie,
Two dayes incag'd at least in strongest hold,
Storme he that lift, he scornes to be control'd.
What is it lawfull that a mounted begger,
May vncontrolled thus beare sway and swagger?
A base borne issue of a baser syer,
Bred in a cottage, wandring in the myer,
With nailed shooes, and whipstaffe in his hand,
Who with a hey and ree the beasts command:
And being seuen years practizede in that trade,
At seuen yeares end by Tom a iourneyes made,
Vnto the Citie of faire Troynouant,
Where through extremitie of need and want
