Manet Fame.
To those that neede further description,
Wee helpe their vnderstandings with a tongue:
Sir Anthonie Sherleie we haue left in Spaine,
Knight of Saint Iago, one of the counsell
Of his highnesse warres against the infidells,
Captaine of th'Armado, with other honors:
The eldest in England is: to fewe vnknowne
His worth, his merrit and his offices.
The last in Persia, as you haue seene:
This is the vtmost of intelligence,
If we should prosecute beyond our knowledge:
Some that fill vp this round circumference,
(And happelie better knowe their states then we:)
Might iustly call the authors, trauellers,
And giue the actors too, the souldiers spite,
Then heere we leaue them, now the rest to you:
Since they haue safely past so many perrills,
(For what through danger passes, is the best,)
Since they in all places haue found fauorites:
We make no doubt of you twere too hard doome,
To let them want your liking heere at home.
