One brought his halls to plead, one his estate,

130This brought a watch to court, and that a gem;

One brought a large descent [in] white and black,

Which [he] derivèd from old Pergam's sack.

One brought a reverent sire, whom he called father,

To be the tongue of his reservèd son;

Others with much expense of wax did gather

Some printed rimes to speak when they were gone:

All had their speakers which unclasped their graces,

Yet their court-language dwelt on plaits and places.
