They have been forc'd to run packing away.

It was his chance to make a worthy noble feast,

Inviting full forty Couple at least,

Both Lords and Earls, with vertuous Ladies of high fame,

Who in true Friendship accordingly came:

All sorts of dainties he then did prepare,

No cost nor charge in the least he did spare;

But ere they could to their Banqueting fall,

Sirs, you shall hear how she welcom'd them all.
