                      YE CARPETTE KNYGHTE
-
              I HAVE a horse- a ryghte goode horse-
                    Ne doe I envye those
              Who scoure ye playne yn headye course
                    Tyll soddayne on theyre nose
              They lyghte wyth unexpected force
                    Yt ys- a horse of clothes.
-
              I have a saddel- "Say'st thou soe?
                    Wyth styrruppes, Knyghte, to boote?"
              I sayde not that- I answere "Noe"-
                    Yt lacketh such, I woote:
              Yt ys a mutton-saddel, loe!
                    Parte of ye fleecye brute.
-
              I have a bytte- a ryghte good bytte-
                    As shall bee seene yn tyme.
              Ye jawe of horse yt wyll not fytte;
                    Yts use ys more sublyme.
              Fayre Syr, how deemest thou of yt?
                    Yt ys- thys bytte of rhyme.
