Armour Sea-green the last; gold works adorn
Th' Horse Dapled-grey, like Clouds; by whom was worn
Choice Furniture; by Art imbroider'd o're,
Rocks, mounting Waves: his Gallant Helmet bore.
Sand-colour'd Plumes, Sea-green; so, gently pranc'd:
Two Footmen, Pages joyn'd before advanc'd;
Coats of Sea-green, like Merchants all array'd;
Knots silver, Gold; their Buskins Sand portrai'd;
Those Sprucely Deck'd with feigned Pearl, embost:
Their Shields like Seas, where Barque by Tempest tost
Amongst the Rocks; ore-clouded, Stormy Skies:
Their Words aloft; I venture for fair Prize.
Both well perform'd; Curvets, joyn'd Race Carrier;
Broke well their Staves, might equal match'd appear.
