So I loop my apron, against the Majesty
With bright Pins of Buttercup -
That not too plain -

And perch my Tongue
On Twigs of singing - rather high -
But this, might be my brief Term
To qualify -
Put from my simple speech all plain word -
Take other accents, as such I heard
Though but for the Cricket - just,
And but for the Bee -
Not in all the Meadow -
One accost me -
Better to be ready -
Than did next morn
Meet me in Arragon -
My old Gown - on -
And the surprised Air
Rustics - wear -
Summoned - unexpectedly -
To Exeter.

Upon a single Wheel -
Whose spokes a dizzy Music make
As 'twere a travelling Mill -
He never stops, but slackens
Above the Ripest Rose -
Partakes without alighting
And p...
