With an old Hunts-man, a Falkoner, and a Kennel of Hounds;

Which never Hunted, nor Hawked but in his own Grounds;

Who like an old wise man kept himself within his own bounds,

And when he died gave every child a thousand old pounds;

like an Old [Courtier of the Queens.]

But to his eldest Son his house and land he assign’d,

Charging him in his Will to keep the same bountiful mind,

To be good to his Servants, and to his Neighbours kind,

But in th’ ensuing Ditty you shall hear how he was enclin’d;

like a young Courtier of the Kings.
