Which I shoulde have sett first, for so it was my will,

Whose greate skill and knowledge dothe excell all at this tyme,

And far to strange countries abroade his skill doth shyne.

Famous men be abroade, and skilful in the arte,

I do confesse the same, and will not from it starte,

But in Europp is none like to our English man,

Which doth so farre exceede, as trulie I it scan,

As ye cannot finde out his equale in all thinges,

Threwghe out the worlde so wide, and so his fame now ringes.

With fingers and with penne he hathe not now his peere;
