Him marching there, to meete with me but one;
To whom I sayde: “Thy powre is passing great,
My force is fled: what, must I then bemone
My selfe to thee, not so but I alone,
Am come to knowe with magnanimitie,
If thou dost dare to wrecke thy wrath on me.

“The crowne for which so many men be slayne,
Thy Galba’s shield, with many iewels more,
Which vnto me do only appertayne;
