The Sexton comes, hee'le mend all this anone.
VVith that the angry Clocke in rage strooke one.
The Sexton came indeed, and one did tell,
Look't on the Diall, saw all was not well.
For that said twelue, the Clock said one and past.
He tooke the weights off, which caus'd too much hast,
Suruaide the wheeles, for there the fault might be,
And found some cog supply the place of three.
Some wheeles were taken off, and borne to Court,
To trundle vp and downe, and there make sport.
And some with dust, and rust, were duld and foild,
And some stood vselesse, so the Clocke was spoild.
