Though John of Gant his foes did daunt, St. George shal rule the roast;
Agamemnon and Cleomedon and Macedon did feats,
But, compared to our Champion, they were but merely cheats;
Brave Malta Knights in Turkish fights, their brandisht swords out-drew,
But St. George met the Dragon, and ran him through and through:
St. George he was, &c.
Bidea, the Amazon, Photius overthrew,
As fierce as either Vandal, Goth, Saracen, or Jew;
The potent Holophernes, as he lay in his bed,
In came wise Judith and subtly stool[e] his head;
