Anon the Dame, her primal transports o’er,

Bethought her of the wisdom of Sir Tray,

And his fine wit, and then it shameful seemed

That he bareheaded ’neath the sky should go

While empty skulls of fools went thatched and roofed;

“A hat,” she cried, “would better fit those brows

Than many a courtier’s that I’ve wotted of;

And thou shalt have one, an’ my tender toes

On which the corns do shoot, and these my knees

Wherethro’ rheumatic twinges swiftly dart,
