The famous warriors of the anticke world,
Used Trophees to erect in stately wize:
in which they would the records have enrold,
of theyr great deeds and valarous emprize.
What trophee then shall I most fit devize,
in which I may record the memory
of my loves conquest, peerelesse beauties prise,
adorn'd with honour, love, and chastity.
Even this verse vowd to eternity,
shall be thereof immortall moniment:
and tell her prayse to all posterity,
that may admire such worlds rare wonderment,
The happy purchase of my glorious spoile,
gotten at last with labour and long toyle.
