Epigram.

A Kinde of London-walker in a boote, (Not George a Horse-backe, but a Gerge a foote,) On eu'ry day you meete him through the yeare, Fot's bootes and spurs, a horse-man doth appeare. Was met with, by an odde conceited stranger, W•••• friendly told him that he walk'd in danger.

Sir I protest (quoth he) they doe me wrong, I haue not back'd a horse, God knows how long, What slaues be these, they haue me false bely'd? Ile prooue this twelue-month I did neuer ride.
