Seemed such a garb of joy to wear,
So young and radiant an air,
God might but just have set them there.

Sir Herbert Springett, Ringmer's squire,
(No better man in all the shire)—
He too was filled with kindling fire,
Which, working in him, did incite
The worthy and capacious knight
To doughty deeds of appetite.
