Now let me come to things more strange, yet true,

And question not what I declare to you;

There rosted was a great and well-fed oxe,

And there, with dogs, hunted the cunning fox;

Dancing o’th’ ropes, and puppit plays likewise,

The like before ne’er seen beneath the skies;

All stand admir’d, and very well they may,

To see such pastimes, and such sort of play.

Besides the things I nam’d to you before,

There other toys and baubles are great store;
