Yet scratch my sonne, or rend his tender hand?

So diuersly themselues in vaine they fray;

Whiles some more bold, to measure him nigh stand,

To proue how many acres he did spread of land.

Thus flocked all the folke him round about, xii

The whiles that hoarie king, with all his traine,

Being arriued, where that champion stout

After his foes defeasance did remaine,

Him goodly greetes, and faire does entertaine,

With princely gifts of yuorie and gold,
