His plough and harnesse fit to till the ground,

And tooles to prune the trees, before the pride

Of hasting Prime did make them burgein round:

And after these, there came the Day, and Night, xliv

Riding together both with equall pase,

Th’one on a Palfrey blacke, the other white;

But Night had couered her vncomely face

With a blacke veile, and held in hand a mace,

On top whereof the moon and stars were pight,
