Had viewed from far what accidents arose,
Then turned aside, his safety to secure,
And left his master dangers to endure;
So

To Castle-William, ere 'twas night, he got,
And took the inn which had the most renown;
For fare and furniture within the town,
There waited Reynold's coming at his ease,
With fire and cheer that could not fail to please.
