A TALE, attempted in Spencer's Stile and Manner.
All by a languid, sluggish stream,
That silent crept adown a lowly dale,
There wonn'd a wight of muckel fame,
For many a quaint conceit and many a pleasaunt tale,
Content, tho' piteous poor.
And here a hill, that bounds the plain,
Where stood the villa of an upstart squire,
Whose breast ne gen'rous thought mote ever fire;
Albeit he own'd a large domain,
Yet aye he sigh'd for more.
. . . [5 more verses, signed] Yorick.
