That, which he doth with righteous doome decide,

And for to maister wrong and puissant pride.

For vaine it is to deeme of things aright,

And makes wrong doers iustice to deride,

Vnlesse it be perform’d with dreadlesse might.

For powre is the right hand of Iustice truely hight.

Therefore whylome to knights of great emprise ii

The charge of Iustice giuen was in trust,

That they might execute her iudgements wise,
