To Marius. Armour and weapon against the deuill.

Against the slie deceiptes,
of Sathan tyraunt fell:

My Marius, wouldst thou knowe
how to bee fensed well?
First curet thyne must bee,
All pride for to expell:
Thy helmet, as thy selfe,
To loue thy next as well.
Thy buckler that must bee,
A chast vnspotted brest:
Use patience for thy brigandine,
when Fortune doeth molest.
