Frequenting such pastime as they can devise;

Running at tilt, justing, with running at the ring,

Masquing and mumming, with each kind of thing,

Such dancing, such singing, with musical harmony:

Believe me, I was loth to absent their company.

But will you believe? Jesu! what haste they made, till they were married?

Not for a million of pounds one day longer they would have tarried.

O, there was a banquet royal and superexcellent;

Thousands and thousands at that banquet was spent.

I muse of nothing but how they can be married so soon;
