And ye, brave Lord, whose goodly personage + 

And noble deeds, each other garnishing, + 

Make you ensample to the present age + 

Of th’old Heroes, whose famous ofspring + 

The antique Poets wont so much to sing; + 

In this same Pageaunt have a worthy place, + 

Sith those huge castles of Castilian King, + 

That vainly threatned kingdomes to displace, + 

Like flying doves ye did before you chace; + 

And that proud people, woxen insolent + 

Through many victories, didst first deface: + 

Thy praises everlasting monument + 

Is in this verse engraven semblably, + 

That it may live to all posterity. + 
