[Hernand Gonçales of Castile I am]

Hernand Gonçales of Castile I am
In number the first Earle, and endlesse praise,
The Spanish Scepters honor, since the same
With my braue deedes so highly I did raise,
My valour and my manhood golden Fame
Can tell, that sawe it, wherefore she displaies
My high deedes in eternall memorie,
As tels you the Castilian historie.
