[22] To Sir WILLIAM DE-GRAY.

I Take thy name on Fames bare word (Sir Knight)
I know thee not; yet sweare I think th' art right
Because thou art belov'd; then ever bee
My Muse obsequious to thy worth, and thee.
He that good store of sincere love hath wonne,
Wisely hath playd his game, and fairely runne.
