Thence to Pearless Penrith went I,
Which of Merchandize hath plenty.

Thence to Roslay, where our Lot is
To commerce with People Scottish.

Thence to Oaten Ouston fruitful;
Thence to Hauxide's marish Pasture;
Thence to th' Seat of old Lancaster.

Thence to Garstang, where are feeding
Herds, with large Fronts freely breeding.

Thence to Ingleforth I descended,
Where choice Bull-calfs will be vended.

Thence to Burton's Boundiers pass I,
Fair in Flocks, in Pastures grassy.

Thence to Horneby, Seat renowned,
"Thus with Gain are Worldlings drowned;
Secret-sacred Thirst of Treasure
Makes my Bullocks my best Pleasure:
Should Love wooe me, I'd not have her,
"It is Gain yields sweetest favour.
