A pleasant Comedie of the two
Shee's cunning in the wilde goose race,
Nay shee's apt to euery pace,
And to prooue her colour good,
A flea enamourd of her blood,
Digd for channels in her neck,
And there made many a crimson speck,
I thinke theres none that vse to ride,
But can her pleasant trot abide,
She goes so euen vpon the way,
She will not stumble in a day,
And when my maister.

Boy. Nay nothing sir.

Nay, nay, your reason hath no iustice now,

Then chide him for it: tell me prettie wag,
Where stands his prawncer, in what Inne or stable?
Or hath thy maister put her out to runne,
Then in what field, what champion feeds this courser?
This well paste bonnie steed that thou so praisest.
