To meet on the trysting day.

*  *  *  *  *

Quick are the strokes as lightning

From Charley Pleycynge’s racket,

And hot must be the game that makes

De Vorley doff his jacket;

And the two said, “We will play them

A return-match, if they will.

That they may regain on Sludgeboro’ plain

What they lost on Dryburgh’s hill.”
