The Field Gathers , Friar Stimson “A monk there was, a manly man, to be an Abbot able, for many a daintie horse had he in his stable: And when he rode, men might his bridle hear gingeling in a whistling wind as clear, and eke loud, as doth the chapel bell.” ‘He can roam where he li.sts, he can stop when he tires, for every man’s house is the Barefooted Friar’s.

The Pageant Groweth Spectacular. “Knights, with a long retinue of their squires, in gaudy liveries march in quaint attires; One laced the helm, another the lance, a third the shining buckler did advance. The courses paw’d the ground with rest less feet and snorting foam'd and champ’d the bolden bit. The smiling and armorers on palfreys ride, files in their hands, and hammers at their sides and nails for loosen’d spears, and throngs for shields provide the yoeman guard the street in seemly bands.” “The shattering trumpet shrilled high, the hard brands stiver on the steel, the splintered spear-shafts crack and fly.” “The heralds left their pricking up and down, now ringen trumpets loud and clarion. There is no more to say, but east and west, in go the spears sadly in the rest, in goth the sharp spur into the side. There see men who can joust and who can ride. There shiver shafts upon shields thick, he feeleth through the heart- stone the prick; Up springen spearea, twenty feet in height. Out go the swordes to the silver bright.” CANTO IX. The Victor and the Vanquished “Thirty nobles saddled with speed, each one mounting a gallant steed, which he kept for batile and days of need. Spurs were struck in the foam ing flank, bridles were slacKcned, and girths were burst. His nobles were beaten one by one—The panting steed with drooping crest, stood weary. “O steed—that every nerve didst strain, dear steed, our ride hath been in vain.” The Curtain Goeth Down “The lights are out, and gone are all the guests that thronging came with merriment and Jests.” “Proputty, proputty—that’s what I ’ears ’em saay.
