Entring, they met with None, yet all was Neat;
Furnish'd though Plain, as seem'd t'acknowledge yet
Some Master; Table, Stool, with Chayr and Bed,
Trunk, Linnen-chest, Time's Hower-glass, Death's head:
Wall bench'd, where Silver Chain-belt, Faulchion hung;
Coorse wooden Plate, uncobweb'd Books a throng:
Large Cubbord too, where such Cheese, Butter, store
Of cold Bak'd meats, as fortnight full (or more)
Would serve their Host, Weeks plenteous food for Two,
New-lay'd in (constant Party brought it so
Each Fornight stil, from th' neibouring Town, Dervise)
Close Corner lastly cabin'd Roots discries:
Drink too, though pleas'd the Owner Natures stray
Fount celler oft. Upon the Table lay
Broad Paper, being entitled thus; The Poor
Hermonus Will: which thus Polind read ore.
