(58) Gallopinge.
ffrom windsore ridinge, to the statelie towne,
the seate of ffamous kings and Inglands pryde,
in hast, I mett, in midst of Hunslowe downe,
a gentle youth which postinglie did ride,
a frend of mine, whome I forc'd there to staie,
to knowe the cause hee ridd soe fast awaye.

Whoe said, “muse not, I frendlie the require,
to see mee gallop with soe light a hedd,
since I farr lighter am in this retyre,

but one is lost, soe I more light and bould,
the twelfe is gone, eleaven I keepe in store,
Christ went not vnto hell: what would you more?”
