  Proud Lord Willoughby,
  Lord High Chancellor,
  Laughed both loud and free:^[1]
“I’ve served Your Majesty, man to man,
  Since first Your Majesty’s reign began,
  And I’ve often walked, but I never, never ran,
  Never, never, never,” quoth he.

  (Proud Lord Willoughby,
  Lord High Chancellor):
“Walk to the wicket-gate
  Quickly, quickly,
  Walk to the wicket-gate
  And see who is knocking.
