That never hawked, nor hunted, but in his own grounds,

Who, like a wise man, kept himself within his own bounds,

And when he dyed gave every child a thousand good pounds;

Like an old courtier, &c.

But to his eldest son, his house and land he assign’d,

Charging him in his will to keep the old bountifull mind,

To be good to his old tenants, and to his neighbours be kind

But in the ensuing ditty you shall hear how he was inclin’d;

Like a young courtier of the King’s,

And the King’s young courtier.
