26 [Two forward went, and one did seeme to stay them]

Two forward went, and one did seeme to stay them:
Foure after ran, and fiue did ouerlay them,
Of which one dead, foure quicke was comprehending:
And all these twelue vnto one marke were tending.

Viz. two cochehorses, one cocheman, fower wheeles, the bodie of the coche, and fower passengers.
