I will hope shortly of your amendment: in the meane time let me aduise you to take patience in your vnderstanding, to direct you in a better course: for when you waked out of your dreame, you saw no body, but the man that you thought was runne to our towne, and he was putting you on a Coat with foure Elboes: for Maid Marrian, shée, I thinke, is troubled with you in her Creame-pot: but for the Hobbie-horse, alas, he hath forgot your turne [...][1]
IRHB comments
The primary sense of 'cream-pot' is, of course, 'a vessel for holding milk while the cream is forming; a vessel for keeping cream'.[2] Thus Maid Marian is here identified as a dairy maid.
