Valiant as Hector in euery marciall nede,

Prouydent,[201] discrete, circumspect, and wyse,

Tyll the chaunce ran agayne hym of Fortunes duble dyse. 140

What nedeth me for to extoll his fame

With my rude pen enkankered all with rust,

Whose noble actes show worshiply his name,

Transendyng far[202] myne homly Muse, that muste

Yet somwhat wright supprised with herty[203] lust,

Truly reportyng his right noble estate,

Immortally whiche is immaculate?
