Ieffereidos,
Or the Captivitie of
Jeffery.
Canto the second.
So runs the nimble Snayle, in slimy track,
Hast'ning with all his Tenement on's back;
And so, on goodly Cabidge-leafe, the fleet
Swift-Caterpiller moves with eager feet,
As this sad Courtier now; whose mighty Steed
May for an easie amble, or for speed,
Compare with gentle Bull in Yoke: But O!
Here now begins a Canticle of woe!
Hast'ning with all his Tenement on's back;
And so, on goodly Cabidge-leafe, the fleet
Swift-Caterpiller moves with eager feet,
As this sad Courtier now; whose mighty Steed
May for an easie amble, or for speed,
Compare with gentle Bull in Yoke: But O!
Here now begins a Canticle of woe!
