And dayly he his wrongs encreaseth more, vi
For neuer wight he lets to passe that way,[255]
Ouer his Bridge, albee he rich or poore,
But he him makes his passage-penny pay:
Else he doth hold him backe or beat away.
Thereto he hath a groome of euill guize,
Whose scalp is bare, that bondage doth bewray,
Which pols and pils the poore in piteous wize;
But he him selfe vppon the rich doth tyrannize.
His name is hight Pollente, rightly so vii
