By your great selfe, to graue their names about
Th’Iberian pillars of Joue’s Hercules:
Most humblie craues your lordly lions aid
Gainst monster enuie, while she tels her storie
Of Britaine princes, and that royall maid,
In whose chaste hymne her Clio sings your glorie:
Which if (great lord) you grant, my muse shall frame
Mirrours more worthie your renowned name.
Your Honor’s euer most humblie
deuoted,
Richard Nicols.
