And well deserued of his publique weal:
If euer Knight esteemde it greatest gayne,
For Prince and Countrey in the warres to deale:
My selfe was such, which venterde life and heale
At all assayes, to saue my natiue soyle,
With all my labour, trauayle, payne and toyle,
[Both from the force of foes and foraine foyle.]

Yet heere you see, at home I had my fall,
Not by my fearcest foes that came in warre,
