20 A good iest of a Crow.
A Baron and a Knight, one day walkingOn Richmond greene, & as they were in talking,
A Crow, that lighted on the raile by Fortune,
Stood becking, and cry'd kaw with noise importune.
This bird, the Baron said, doth you salute,
Sir Knight, as if to you he had some sute,
Not vnto me, the Knight reply'd in pleasance,
'Tis to some Lord he makes so low obeysance.
