Ah! soon my shield and tilting-lance are bound;
Eftsoons command my Squyër to the war.

Her.
Thy valorous acts would many men astound,
Hard is their fate encountering thee in fight;

Like the hard hail doth the tall rushes pight.
As when the morning-sun doth drink the dew,
So do thy valorous acts drink each knight's hue.
