A Footman turn'd Gentleman Usher.
Living not long, yet have I liv'd to seeA mimble youth, a light foot, a lackie,
To run so fast into his ladies grace,
59
For having tri'd she found this youth a cunning,
Riding as stiff as he was strong in running.
But riding much his Laundress now complains,
He runs much faster then he did o'th rains.
