I’m sure he’s a knight, or a king of crown,

Or I’m sure I am a far better fellow than he.’

‘I am neither a knight, nor a king of a crown,

But here, with my navy, on board I am come;

For I am Lord Essex, the Queen’s lieutenant,

Who never feard foe in all Christendom.’

Out and spoke the bold emperour’s son,

All as they were mounting and hyeing away;
