hilome in Albion's isle there dwelt a youth,Who ne in Virtue's ways did take delight;But spent his days in riot most uncouth,And vexed with mirth the drowsy ear of Night.Ah me! in sooth he was a shameless wight,Sore given to revel and ungodly glee;[n]Few earthly things found favour in his sight[o]Save concubines and carnal companie,And flaunting wassailers of high and low degree.[21]
