Near to the king whereas he did stand;
"If that your grace will give me leave,
Myself will be the only man."
"Thou shalt have six hundred men," saith our king;
"And choose them out of my realm so free;
Besides mariners, and boys,
To guide the great ship on the sea."
"I'll go speak with Sir Andrew," ssyn Charles, my lord Howard;
"Upon the sea,' if he be there,
I will bring him and his ship to shore.
