What feare or mulct can make my muse refraine,

When shee is urg’d of nature and disdaine?

Not all the guard shall hold mee, I must write,

Though they should sweare and lye how they would fight,

If I procede: nay, though the captaine say,

Hold him, or else you shall not eate to day;

Those goodly yeomen shall not scape my pen;

’Twas dinner-time, and I must speake of men;

So to the hall made I, with little care

To praise the dishes, or to tast the fare;
