[Which, Higgins, if thou shalt, and write therein
This tale I tell, no doubt thou shalt me please;
Thy selfe likewise thereby maist profit win;

And[755] when they sitte, and see what he doth note,
And lessons learne to saue his[756] armour coate,
Well fare his heart (say they) this worke that wrote.
