I have seduced a headstrong Kentishman,

[♦] John Cade of Ashford,

To make commotion, as full well he can,

Under the title of John Mortimer.

360 In Ireland have I seen this stubborn Cade

Oppose himself against a troop of kernes,

[♦] And fought so long, till that his thighs with darts

[♦] Were almost like a sharp-quill’d porpentine;

[♦] And, in the end being rescued, I have seen

365 Him caper upright like a wild Morisco,
