    His eye begets occasion for his wit;
    For every object that the one doth catch
    The other turns to a mirth-moving jest,
    Which his fair tongue, conceit's expositor,
    Delivers in such apt and gracious words,
    That aged ears play truant at his tales,
    And younger hearings are quite ravished,
    So sweet and voluble is his discourse.
