Him als accompanyd vpon the way
2 A comely Palmer, clad in blacke attire,
Of ripest yeares, and haires all hoarie gray,
4 That with a staffe his feeble steps did stire,
Least his long way his aged limbes should tire:
6 And if by lookes one may the mind aread,
He seemd to be a sage and sober sire,
8 And euer with slow pace the knight did lead,
Who taught his trampling steed with equall steps to tread.
