Occupacyon to Skelton.

Withdrawe your hande, the tyme passis fast;
Set on your hede this laurell whiche is wrought;
Here you not Eolus for you blowyth a blaste?
I dare wele saye that ye and I be sought:
Make no delay, for now ye must be brought
Before my ladys grace, the Quene of Fame,
Where ye must breuely answere to your name.
