BELIEVE me, noble lord, | |
| I am a stranger here in Gloustershire. | |
| These high wild hills and rough uneven ways | |
| Draw out our miles, and make them wearisome, | |
| And yet your fair discourse hath been as sugar, | 5 |
| Making the hard way sweet and délectable. | |
| But, I bethink me, what a weary way | |
| From Ravenspurg to Cotswold will be found | |
| In Ross and Willoughby, wanting your company; | |
| Which, I protest, hath very much beguiled | 10 |
| The tediousness and process of my travel. | | | | |
