Redoubted Lord, in whose corageous mind + 

The flowre of chevalry, now bloosming faire, + 

Doth promise fruite worthy the noble kind + 

Which of their praises have left you the haire; + 

To you this humble present I prepare, + 

For love of vertue and of Martial praise; + 

To which though nobly ye inclined are, + 

As goodlie well ye shew’d in late assaies, + 

Yet brave ensample of long passed daies, + 

In which trew honor yee may fashiond see, + 

To like desire of honor may ye raise, + 

And fill your mind with magnanimitee. + 

Receive it, Lord, therefore, as it was ment, + 

For honor of your name and high descent. + 
