Though before (silly Fellow) his courage did quaile,

He gives her the smouch, with his hand on his pouch,

If he meet by the way with a pot of good ale.

And it makes the Carter a Courtier straight-way;

With Rhetorical termes he will tell his tale;

With courtesies great store, and his Cap up before,

Being school’d but a little with a pot of good ale.

The Old man, whose tongue wags faster than his teeth,

(For old age by Nature doth drivel and drale)

Will frig and will fling, like a Dog in a string,
