On Gallop
Duras came, approaching there,
First Scout rod forth, as from Silendros were
That Morning come; Lane left with all the other
Like Dremo's man, Saluting one another.
The first loud spake, What, did you meet the King?
Yes (said the last) some four miles off: which thing
When Duras heard, he ask'd where he was gon;
To Dremos-Park for Hunting Game anon.
That Fellow cry'd; towards Mantinea going
Whilst he took Dremos Lane, round gallop shewing.
They told their Lord (soon after met) th' Event;
Who with much speed towards Silendros went:
No Gallants could, inflam'd with Amorous Fire,
More Poast it for choice Mistress whom desire.
