To the most noble and vallerous Knight, Sr. Robert Mauncell.

Glory of Wales, and Splendor of thy Name,
True Valors Home; whose more then manly Heart
Still Death out-dares; whose Earnest is thy Game
By Sea or Land; and ioy'st but in his Smart.
Hold, Muse, no more; to tell what All he is,
Would aske a volume greater farre then this.
