Ten pounds he did intreat him yᵗ of all love he would lēd
His case was an accursed case, no comfort to be found,
Unles he friendly drew his purse, & blest him with tē poūd
He did protest he had it not, making a solemne vow,
He wāted means & money both, to do him pleasure now.
Thē sir (quoth he) you know I have a Gelding I love wel,
Necessitie it hath no law, I must my Gelding sell,
I have bin offered twelve for him, with ten ile be cōtent,
Well I will trie a friend (said he,) it was his chest he ment.
So fectch’d the money presently, tother sees Angels shine
