Sprite of Gauntespeaks.
I did full many reparations give,
And the Bonne-Hommès did full rich endow,
As journeying to my God on earth did live,
So all the Bristol chronicles will shew.

Which seemeth to be the pride of Bristow,
And by no building to be o'ermatchèd:
Which aye shall last and be the praise of all,
And only in the wreck of nature fall.
