VII.

Syne[38] Sweirness[39] at the second bidding

Came like a sow out of a midding,[40]

Full sleepy was his grunyie.[41]

Many sweir bumbard[42] belly-huddroun,[43]

Many slute daw[44] and sleepy duddroun,[45]

Him served aye with sounyie.[46]

He drew them forth into a chenyie,[47]

And Belial with a bridle-rennyie,[48]

Ever lash'd them on the lunyie.[49]

In dance they were so slow of feet

They gave them in the fire a heat,

And made them quicker of counyie.[50]
