16106Wel could hee ride, and often men would say

107That horse his mettell from his rider takes

108Proud of subiection, noble by the swaie,

109What rounds, what bounds, what course what stop he (makes

110And controuersie hence a question takes,

111Whether the horse by him became his deed,

112Or he his mannad'g, by'th wel doing Steed.

17113But quickly on this side the verdict went,

114His reall habitude gaue life and grace

115To appertainings and to ornament,

116Accomplisht in him-selfe not in his case:

117All ayds them-selues made fairer by their place,

118Can for addicions, yet their purpos'd trimme

119Peec'd not his grace but were al grac'd by him.

18120So on the tip of his subduing tongue

121All kinde of arguments and question deepe,

122Al replication prompt, and reason strong

123For his aduantage still did wake and sleep,

124To make the weeper laugh, the laugher weepe:

125He had the dialect and different skil,

126Catching al passions in his craft of will.

19127That hee didde in the general bosome raigne

128Of young, of old, and sexes both inchanted,

129To dwel with him in thoughts, or to remaine

130In personal duty, following where he haunted,

131Consent's bewitcht, ere he desire haue granted,

132And dialogu'd for him what he would say,

133Askt their own wils and made their wils obey.

20134Many there were that did his picture gette

135To serue their eies, and in it put their mind,

136Like fooles that in th' imagination set

137The goodly obiects which abroad they find

138Of lands and mansions, theirs in thought assign'd,

139And labouring in moe pleasures to bestow them,

140Then the true gouty Land-lord which doth owe them.
