On now, my loued Muse, and let vs bring
Thetis to heare the Cornish Michael sing;
And after him to see a Swaine vnfold
The Tragedie of Drake in leaues of gold.
Then heare another Greenvils name relate,
Which times succeeding shall perpetuate,
And make those two the Pillers great of Fame,
Beyond whose worths shall neuer sound a Name,
Nor Honour in her euerlasting story
More deeper graue for all ensuing glory.
