My frende, sith ye ar before vs[1763] here present

To answere vnto this noble audyence,

Of that shalbe resonde you[1764] ye must be content;

And for as moche as, by the hy[1765] pretence

That ye haue now thorow[1766] preemynence

Of laureat triumphe,[1767] your place is here reseruyd,

We wyll vnderstande how ye haue it deseruyd.
