And our weake hands (whom need new strength shall teach)[928]
The dreadfull speare and shield to exercize:
Ne certes daughter that same warlike wize
I weene, would you misseeme; for ye bene tall,
And large of limbe, t’atchieue an hard emprize,
Ne ought ye want, but skill, which practize small
Will bring, and shortly make you a mayd Martiall.
And sooth, it ought your courage much inflame, liv
To heare so often, in that royall hous,
From whence to none inferiour ye came,[929]
