From the anker he kuttyth[1700] the gabyll rope,
Committyth all to God, and lettyth his shyp ryde;
So I beseke[1701] Ihesu now to be my gyde.
To the ryght noble Countes of Surrey.
After all duly ordred obeisaunce,
In humble wyse as lowly[1702] as I may,
Vnto you, madame, I make reconusaunce,[1703]
My lyfe endurynge I shall both wryte and say,
Recount, reporte, reherse without delay 840
The passynge bounte of your noble astate,
