III. The Souldiour.

My Occupation is the Noble trade, the trade of Kings,
the tryall that decides the highest right of things.
Though Mars my Maister be I doe not Uenus loue,
nor honour Bacchus oft, nor often sweare by Ioue,
Of speaking of my selfe I all occasion shunne,
and rather loue to doe, then boast what I haue done.
