But Trompart, that his maisters humor knew,
2 In lofty lookes to hide an humble mind,
Was inly tickled with that golden vew,
4 And in his eare him +rounded+ close behind:
Yet stoupt he not, but lay still in the wind,
6 Waiting aduauntage on the pray to sease;
Till Trompart lowly to the ground inclind,
8 Besought him his great courage to appease,
And pardon simple man, that rash did him displease.
