Ne may I, without blot of endlesse blame, + 

You, fairest Lady, leave out of this place; + 

But with remembraunce of your gracious name, + 

Wherewith that courtly garlond most ye grace + 

And deck the world, adorne these verses base. + 

Not that these few lines can in them comprise + 

Those glorious ornaments of hevenly grace, + 

Wherewith ye triumph over feeble eyes, + 

And in subdued harts do tyranyse; + 

For thereunto doth need a golden quill, + 

And silver leaves, them rightly to devise; + 

But to make humble present of good will: + 

Which, whenas timely meanes it purchase may, + 

In ampler wise it selfe will forth display. + 
