Remembraunce of that most Heroicke spirit, + 

The hevens pride, the glory of our daies, + 

Which now triumpheth, through immortall merit + 

Of his brave vertues, crown’d with lasting baies + 

Of hevenlie blis and everlasting praies; + 

Who first my Muse did lift out of the flore, + 

To sing his sweet delights in lowlie laies; + 

Bids me, most noble Lady, to adore + 

His goodly image, living evermore + 

In the divine resemblaunce of your face; + 

Which with your vertues ye embellish more, + 

And native beauty deck with heavenlie grace: + 

For his, and for your owne especial sake, + 

Vouchsafe from him this toke in good worth to take. + 
