:Then, as I said, the Duke, great Bolingbroke, :Mounted upon a hot and fiery steed :Which his aspiring rider seem'd to know, :With slow but stately pace kept on his course, :Whilst all tongues cried 'God save thee, Bolingbroke!' :You would have thought the very windows spake, :So many greedy looks of young and old :Through casements darted their desiring eyes :Upon his visage; and that all the walls :With painted imagery had said at once :'Jesu preserve thee! Welcome, Bolingbroke!' :Whilst he, from the one side to the other turning, :Bareheaded, lower than his proud steed's neck, :Bespake them thus, 'I thank you, countrymen:' :And thus still doing, thus he pass'd along.
