Lettered above image, upper right: "2"; below image, lower center: "Sr. Hudibras his passing Worth, | The manner how he sally'd forth; | When civil Dudgeon first grew high, | And Men fell out they knew not why; | When Gospel-Trumpeter, surrounded | With long-ear'd Rout, to Battel sounded, | And Pulpit, Drum Ecclesiastick, | Was beat with Fist, instead of a Stick: | Then did Sir Knight abandon Dwelling, | And out he rode a Colonelling. | A Squire he had, whose Name was Ralph, | That in th' Adventure went his half. | An equal Stock of Wit and Valour | He had laid in, by Birth a Taylor.- | Their Armes and Equipage did fit, | As well as Vertues, Parts, and Wit: | Their Valours too were of a Rate, | And out they sally'd at the Gate;"
