14971355Yor. Grandam, one night as we did sit at supper,

14981356My Vnckle Riuers talkt how I did grow

14991357More then my brother. I quoth my Nnckle Glocester,

15001358Small herbes haue grace, great weedes grow apace,

15011359And since me thinkes I would not grow so fast:

15021360Because sweete flowers are slow, and weedes make haste.

15031361Dut. Good faith, good faith, the saying did not hold

15041362In him that did obiect the same to thee:

15051363He was the wretchedst thing when he was young,

15061364So long a growing, and so leisurely,

15071365That if this were a true rule, he should be gratious.

15161373That he could gnaw a crust at two houres olde:
