Ye Carpette Knyghte

 I have a horse - a ryghte good horse -
Ne doe Y envye those
Who scoure ye playne yn headye course
Tyll soddayne on theyre nose
They lyghte wyth unexpected force
Yt ys - a horse of clothes.
 

I have a saddel - "Say'st thou soe?
Wyth styrruppes, Knyghte, to boote?"
I sayde not that - I answere "Noe" -
Yt lacketh such, I woote:
Yt ys a mutton-saddel, loe!
Parte of ye fleecye brute.
 

I have a bytte - a ryghte good bytte -
As shall bee seene yn tyme.

Ye jawe of horse yt wyll not fytte;
Yts use ys more sublyme.

Fayre Syr, how deemest thou of yt?
Yt ys - thys bytte of rhyme.
