eing in this piteous case, And all be-slurried head and face, 250 On runs he in this Wild-goose chase As here, and there, he rambles Halfe blinde, against a molehill hit, And for a Mountaine taking it, For all he was out of his wit, Yet to the top he scrambles. And being gotten to the top, Yet there himselfe he could not stop, But downe on th' other side doth chop, And to the foot came rumbling: 260 So that the Grubs therein that bred, Hearing such turmoyle ouer head, Thought surely they had all bin dead, So fearefull was the Iumbling. And falling downe into a Lake, Which him vp to the neck doth take, His fury somewhat it doth slake, He calleth for a Ferry; Where you may some recouery note, What was his Club he made his Boate, 270 And in his Oaken Cup doth float, As safe as in a Wherry.
