The wanton Lee, that oft doth loose his way,

And the still Darent, in whose waters cleane

Ten thousand fishes play, and decke his pleasant streame.

Then came his neighbour flouds, which nigh him dwell, xxx

And water all the English soile throughout;

They all on him this day attended well;

And with meet seruice waited him about;

Ne none[211] disdained low to him to lout:

No not the stately Seuerne grudg’d at all,

Ne storming Humber, though he looked stout;
