In prais of the prais worthie Author.

Wise Virgill wreat Æneades long to prais
Anchisis sone whome he did not behold
Octauian lykd his heigh and loftie phrais
And gaue the Mantuan monie myone gold
The prais of Bruce (no questione) thou proclames
To pleas and prais the faithes defender Iames.
Jf Maroes figments leiue in fresh request
Which he of Stiks Cocitus Serber pend
Of Charon hell Elisium and the rest
Thy storie trew shall with the worlde tak end
And to thy prais J darbe bold to say
No lins prophaine can leiue a longer day.
