The most famous and Tragicall Historie of Pelops and Hippodamia | ||
Of foure kindes of men that maie sing at didner, and other meate meales.
The Gentleman that hath the storeof worldly wealth, may sing
At meales of meate, for pleasure great
that pleasant songs may bring.
And next by order check, the foole
that ioyes none other graine,
May sing and garre as doth the birde
against a shower of raine.
The Minstrel then that fidleth fine
at feeding times may play,
the coyne by night or day,
But cheefe, though last, the old cocke may
or cockold ne be dull
To crow and sing fond fantasies,
to hag from horned scull.
