Forihe with beard and face made clean, Being mounted on his steed again (and Ralpho got a cock-horse too Upon his beast with much ado) Advanc'd on for the Widow's house, T' acquit himself, and pay his vows When various thoughts began to bustle, And with his inward man to justle, He thought what danger might accrue, If she should find he swore untrue Or if his Squire or he should fail, And not be punctual in their tale It might at once the ruin prove Both of his honour, faith, and love. But if he should forbear to go. She might conclude h' had broke his vow And that he durst not now for shame Appear in court, to try his claim. This was the penn'worth of his thought, To pass time, and uneasy trot.
