Passant Carbonckled with eke Golde
This comely Knight condignely bare

Passant Carbonckled with eke Golde
This comely Knight condignely bare

Or els from whence hee haue his name,
Great was his force, his foes to anoy,
Defending his Frends from harme & blame.

Defending his Frends from harme & blame.
Here ende the Knights names and their Commendations.
Retaine the Good, Refraine the ill.
Repute not amisse of my Goodwill.
Repute not amisse of my Goodwill.
