INNER cannot be long where dainties want, Where coyue is not comon, comons must be scant, In poste pase we past from potage to cheese, And yet this man cride, alas what time we leese. He would not let us pause after our repaste, But apart he pluckt me streight, and in all haste, As I of this poore yong man and poore yong maide, Or more poore yong wife, the foresaid words had saide, So praieth he me now the processe may be told, Betweene th'other yong man, and the rich widowe old.
