Next them, twice twenty famous Nobles follow'd,
Braue men at armes, whose names the world had hallow'd
For rare exploits, and twice as many Knights,
Whose bloods haue ransom'd, and redeem'd the rights
Of wronged Ladies: These were all aray'd
In robes of Needle worke, so rarely made,
That he which sees them, thinkes he doth behold
Armours of steele, faire filletted with gold:
And as they marcht, their Squires did aduance
Before each Knight: his warlike Shield and Lance.
