And seene the swift-foot dogs in eager chace

Pursue the gentle hinde from place to place.

From hence recalling my weake wandring eye,

I gan behold that kingly palace by,

Whose loftie towres built vp of ancient time

By worthie princes, to the stars do clime;

Proud, that so many a prince to do them grace,

Beneath their roofe had made their resting place.

Fast by this princely house, afront before

Thames gliding waues do wash the sandie shore,
