Through thoughts aspyring to eternall fame.
For as the soule doth rule the earthly masse,
And all the seruice of the bodie frame,
So loue of soule doth loue of bodie passe,
No lesse then perfect gold surmounts the meanest brasse.
All which who list by tryall to assay, iii
Shall in this storie find approued plaine;
In which these[155] Squires true friendship more did sway,
Then either care of parents could refraine,
Or loue of fairest Ladie could constraine.
