I came (by parents) of his regall race,

Liude happy dayes (if happy mortall bee)

Had (as I sayd) his fauour, bare the grace,

I was his loyall seruant[764] franke and free,

But what of this at all preuayled mee?

Yet furthermore the feates of armes I knew,

I fought in field, when mighty Cæsar flewe,

[And of the Romaynes came my part I slewe.]
