Hampshire--Sir Bevis of Southampton.

Bevis conquered Ascupart
And after slew the Boar,
And then he crossed beyond the seas
To combat with the Moor.


Westmoreland.

I came to Lonsdale where I staid
At hall, into a tavern made,
Neat gates, white walls, nought was sparing,
Pots brimful, no thought of caring.
They eat, drink, laugh, are still mirth making--
Nought they see, that's worth care taking.

_Drunken Barnaby's Journal._


Cheshire.

Chester of Castria took the name,
As if that Castria were the same.
