LIGHTNING ( GREASED )

Norman Gale

Who is Kortright? what is He That Lang doth so commend him? Bowly, fierce and fast is he; The heaven such pace did lend him

That he might admired be. Fast he is, but is he fair? For throwing is unkindness. Those to libel him who dare

Do only prove their blindness; And, being kicked, retract it there. Then to Kortright let us sing, That Kortright is excelling;

He excels each rapid thing On Lords or Oval dwelling. To him let us leather bring.
