Seite 24 - Chief of domestic knights and errant, Either for chartel* or for warrant ; Great on the bench, great in the saddle, That could as well bind o'er as...
Seite 35 - S[h]oulders through the Fire : Our Knight did bear no less a Pack Of his own Buttocks on his Back : Which now had almost got the UpperHand of his Head, for want of Crupper.
Seite 195 - That deals in Destiny's dark counsels, And sage opinions of the Moon sells, To whom all people, far and near, On deep importances repair : When brass and pewter hap to stray, And linen slinks out o...
