Ieffereidos,
Or the Captivitie of
Jeffery.

Canto the second.

So runs the nimble Snayle, in slimy track,Hast'ning with all his Tenement on's back;And so, on goodly Cabidge-leafe, the fleetSwift-Caterpiller moves with eager feet,As this sad Courtier now; whose mighty SteedMay for an easie amble, or for speed,Compare with gentle Bull in Yoke: But O!Here now begins a Canticle of woe!
