In house I had musitions for to play,

In open streete my trompets lowde did sownde,

Which pearst the skies and seemde to shake the grownde.

23.

My men most braue, martcht two and two in ranke,

Who helde in length, much more then halfe a mile:

Not one of these, but gaue his maister thanke,

For some good turne, or pleasure got some while:

I did not feede my seruantes with a smile,

Or glosing wordes, that neuer bring forth frute,
