a little Ducke into a brooke let loose Who in his pride did offer to swim wagers with a Goose The match was made the Gander keakt to see the Ducke so catcht And thought her but a simple thing to be so ouermatcht And on they went but in their way the Ducke with diuing skill When that then Goose did looke for her would be afore her still The Goose was strong the Ducke was quicke and nimble in her art So much that many a Foule did feare to take the Gooses part But ere they came vnto the place to win or lose the match For feare the Ducke with some odde craft the Goose might ouercatch The Gander ran vnto the Cranes and Cormorants and praid Before the match was won and lost the wager might be staid Who being sent for quickly came before the greater birds Who bad them on their loues and liues to listen to their word And that all quarels might haue end that had bin brought in thither It was agreed the Ducke and Goose should kindly swim together With that the Gander keckt for ioy the Ducke as fast did quacke And I with laughing at the sport out of my dreame did wake A Dreame of a Swan and a Goose. ME thought I saw a faire cock Swan that had a hen Swan such As if a Swan knew how to loue he could not loue too much For she was faire and smoothe and white and to her cocke as true As any creature of her kinde or any bird that flue He trod her oft and had by her a faire and kindly breed And in the streame they kindly did together swim and feed But in a mistie day by chance a Goose came swimming by And at the Swan did seeme to cast full many a wanton eye He trod her and along the streame away with her went he And left his Hen a thousand times a goodlier bird then she But when the owners of the Swans did come their birds to marke And like good birders kindly knew a Bunting from a Larke Seeing the Goose swim with the Swan they tooke her by the necke And gaue her such a twinge that she scarce able was to kecke They pluckt her bare and cut her wings and after let her go And let her Gander aske the cause why she was handled so But as she swam a buzzard kite did beate at her so sore That with her keaking I awakt and saw the Goose no more A Dreame of a Bucke casting of his hornes ME thought I saw a gallant Bucke had newly cast a horne Which made him seeme a goodly beast when it was brauely borne And rubbing of the other horne which did disgrace him so That of a faire and goodly beast he did ilfauourd grow He lost the beautie of his head and his defensiue armes Which both did grace him and oft times preserue him from great harms Now as I will beh●ld the Beast me thought a Keeper came And said My friend now may you see how nature hath her shame Of beautie and of armes at once to leaue him naked so That now among his gallant mates he hath no heart to go But if it be such valour be and beautie in a horne Why should they blush that beare the horne and haue it so in scorne When smiling at the sudden ierke and closing of the iest I wakt and 〈◊〉 it but to be a vision of a Beast A Dreame of a Peacocke and an Asse ME thought I saw within a field where I along did passe Two creatures that each other fac't a Peacocke and an Asse The Peacocke spred abroad his taile the Asse set vp his eares The Peacocke leerd vpon his traine the Asse did licke his heares But at they thus each other brau'd the Asse began to bray Wherewith the Peacocke sore afright did take her flight away Wherewith the Asse did smile that he his valour did so trie That with a word but of his mouth he made the Peacocke flie But when the Peacocke sang his song he scared so the Asse That he to go as all amaz'd he knew not where he was But what with tone and tothers noise they did such musicke make That I awakt out of my dreame and glad I was awake A Dreame of a wilde Boare and a Huntsman ME thought within a Forrest wide I saw a great wilde Bore Who as the common people said annoid the country sore He brake into their fields of corne and spoild their Wheate and Rie And rooted vp their pasture grounds and on their Pease would lie Tore vp their hedges rend their pales and spoild their gard●●s grounds And when they set their dogs at him would kill their little hounds When from a high wood issued out both men and dogs apace And with a crie of mastiffe curres did take the Bore in chase Who scouling set his bristles vp and champed with his chaps And with his tusks vpon the ribs full many a curre he claps And ouer hedge and ditch he goes and all the chase withstood And fumes and fomes and suuffes as he were master of the wood But close behind a tree there stood a Huntsman with a dart Who twixt the shoulders and the rib did strike him to the heart When vp the Bore turnd both his heeles the Huntsman all came in And all the mastiues and the curres did such a crie begin And such a shout the people made as if the aire had rent Wherewith I wakt and marueld what this kind of hunting meant FINIS
