With a heart of furious fancies, Whereof I am commander; With a burning spear and a horse of air, To the wilderness I wander. With a knight of ghosts and shadows I summoned am to tourney— Ten leagues beyond the wide world’s end, Methinks it is no journey. —_Tom a’ Bedlam’s Song_. “Good-bye, Bess; I promised you fifty. Here’s a hundred—all that I got for my furniture from Beeton.
