TWo Lords, 4 Knights, 3 Squires, and I the least,
My kind Friend Willy bids unto his feast,
Where was both fish, and flesh, and all such cates
Which men are wont to have, that feast great states,
To pay for which next day he sold his Nag,
Of whose swift pace, he used much to brag:
Well, I'll ne'r care for red and fallow Deer,
If that a Horse so Cook'd, make so good cheer.
