So foul a fight as that rude fray,
Which Chevy[47] Chase we call.
To lead the House, with care and pain,
Grey Gladstone did essay.
The churl may shame that is unborn
The manners of that day.
The suave Sir Stafford[48] to oppose
His devoir did with grace;
A gentler pair of gallant foes
Stood never face to face.
